Chapter 442

That would be the safest position.

"I don't admire the elderly, but I admire you two."

"All this scheming is being used on me, isn't it?"

Lin Yu shook his head with a bitter smile.

Livestream room.

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. It feels like Peng Peng and Zhang Yixing’s brains only start working when they encounter danger; they’re weighing the pros and cons now."

"I feel like Lin Yu’s smile is too doting; it’s like the feeling of seeing two useless, silly sons playing tricks right under his nose—both heartbreaking and funny."

"Hahaha, don't say it, it really does have that vibe. Hurry up and send Peng Peng and Zhang Zhang Yixing down! They both look like they’re about to break."

"..."

As Lin Yu pressed the bedroom power switch, the elevator started again.

After entering the elevator, Peng Peng and Zhang Zhang Yixing stood back-to-back, not daring to move at all in the confined space.

"Brother Zhang Yixing, is this elevator going up or down?"

Peng Peng was a bit confused for a moment.

Even his perception had diminished.

"I, I don't know. Let's just get down there quickly!"

...0

"Once we get to Teacher Da and Xiao Jia, we’ll be safe."

Zhang Zhang Yixing’s heart was also in his throat.

The two of them closed their eyes in unison and prayed silently in their hearts.

Meanwhile.

In the bedroom, Lin Yu was sitting on the bed, leisurely playing with a small chandelier in his hand.

Two minutes passed.

Hearing no movement, Lin Yu and Yang Mi also planned to take the elevator to reunite with the main group.

"Are you ready?"

"OK."

Because both of them had to be in the elevator at the same time, and they had to turn off the bedroom power to trigger the switch and make the elevator run.

So Yang Mi went into the cabinet ahead of time, while Lin Yu used a running start to press the light switch.

"I'm pressing it."

"Be careful."

"Don't worry, no problem."

After turning off the bedroom power, Lin Yu’s ghostly figure lunged toward the cabinet.

He collided head-on with Yang Mi.

"You almost got me pregnant with that bump, do you know that?"

Yang Mi rubbed her lower abdomen in pain and muttered softly.

"If you give birth to it, I'll raise it."

Lin Yu leaned into Da Da Mi Mi’s ear and breathed out cheekily.

However, when the elevator landed.

The smiles on Lin Yu and Yang Mi’s faces instantly froze.

???

Da Da Zhangwei and Huang Hou Minghao were gone!

On the ground, there were only Peng Peng and Zhang Zhang Yixing, like two mushrooms after the rain, hugging their heads and squatting in the corner, shivering.

"Peng Peng, Zhang Yixing."

"You two stop squatting."

"Where did Teacher Da and Xiao Jia go?"

Lin Yu stepped forward to help Zhang Zhang Yixing and Peng Peng up and asked.

"Uh... Brother Yu."

"We don't know either. When we came down, they were already gone."

Seeing Lin Yu, Zhang Zhang Yixing and Peng Peng finally had a backbone and hurriedly gathered around.

Meanwhile,

The camera cut to another scene.

At this very moment, Da Da Zhangwei and Huang Hou Minghao appeared in another room, where the entire wall was covered in colorful masks.

"Why didn't they come down to find us?"

"Where exactly is this?"

Da Da Zhangwei and Huang Hou Minghao were also somewhat confused.

Based on the speed of the elevator earlier.

The two people in the second group should have arrived long ago, but the elevator was slow to come down.

Livestream room.

"Holy crap! There’s this kind of level design? These props are just amazing!"

"Awesome! I bet the elevator lands in different locations, which is why the two groups can't see each other."

"Exciting, this is too exciting! I feel like some brain-burning puzzle-solving is coming up."

"..."

On camera.

"What is this?"

Yang Mi pointed to a black curtain at the far end of the room and raised an eyebrow.

This black curtain was very large, almost covering the entire wall.

"Could it be a solo mission?"

Peng Peng’s brain suddenly started working, and he blurted out.

His face instantly turned somewhat fearful.

"There’s a line of text on this."

[Theater underground space construction site, must wear a safety helmet, follow the light source of the masks to find the exit — M Construction Team]

"Could Teacher Da and Xiao Jia have gone in first?"

"No, these helmets haven't been touched, and if they had gone down, they would have definitely let us know."

"Forget it, don't think about it so much. Everyone, put on your helmets first!"

After a brief discussion, the group lined up. Lin Yu took the lead, and Zhang Zhang Yixing brought up the rear.

After putting on the helmets and entering the curtain, everything went black before their eyes.

It was pitch black inside; every step had to be taken by feeling their way forward slowly.

And behind the curtain, there were layers upon layers of drapes.

They had to keep pulling them aside; in the confined space, the fear of the unknown was instantly maxed out.

After circling for a minute.

Lin Yu suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Brother Yu?"

"Did you find something?"

"Why did Brother Yu stop moving forward?"

Peng Peng and Zhang Zhang Yixing said tremblingly.

"Lin Yu, I have a bold idea."

Yang Mi gasped, feeling nervous.

"That's right, it seems we've returned to the starting point."

"The first time I pulled back the curtain, I specifically tied a knot."

Lin Yu frowned slightly and touched the dead knot on the curtain.

"What?"

"Holy crap."

Hearing Lin Yu’s words, Peng Peng and Zhang Zhang Yixing instantly became uneasy, their hair standing on end.

What was going on?

Could it be that they had run into a ghost wall?

Livestream room.

"Holy crap, is this the true strength of the *Honey Peach* production team? These props are too awesome. Not only do they have a misaligned elevator, but they actually used curtains to make a phantom maze!"

"Damn, how are they supposed to walk out of this? In a place where you can't see your own fingers, most people would just grope forward. We can see it clearly from the third-person overhead camera, but if you're in it in the first person, how could you possibly walk out?"

"This is simply too dope. I suggest the production team keep this scene; we’ll pay for tickets to experience it later."

"Seeing Peng Peng and Zhang Zhang Yixing’s expressions makes me want to laugh. In this state, they can definitely apply for mental distress compensation."

"Hahaha."

On camera...

The *Honey Peach* team led by Lin Yu encountered a predicament. Facing this dead end, Lin Yu also began to think rapidly in his mind.

"Just now, everyone was following each curtain forward."

"If we can circle back to the origin, it must be a circular maze."

"To break the situation, we must break the diameter of this circle or find a breakthrough in this maze to escape."

"Like this: Peng Peng, Zhang Yixing, Sister Mi, let the four of us hold hands and form a straight line to walk forward."

After hearing Lin Yu’s arrangement, Peng Peng and Zhang Yixing finally realized.

"Oh, so that's it. We were trapped in a maze."

"Great, as long as it’s not something metaphysical or terrifying."

Peng Peng and Zhang Zhang Yixing let out a long sigh of relief.

They entered the curtain again.

Sure enough, as Lin Yu expected, they found a fork in the road behind one of the curtains.

"Yeah, this should be the road out."

Yang Mi happily patted Lin Yu on the shoulder.

"Wow! It was so simple, I said... Ah!"

"Mommy!"

Before Peng Peng and Zhang Zhang Yixing could cheer, they saw a face appear in the curtain.

It had no facial features, just like a No-Face man.

With a low growl, it was about to pass through the curtain.

This sudden scene scared Peng Peng so much his legs went soft, and he knelt down.

Zhang Zhang Yixing was also scared, his lips trembling, and he immediately wanted to run in the opposite direction.

"Sigh."

"Sister Mi, follow me closely."

Lin Yu sighed.

Without a word, he grabbed Peng Peng’s arm with his left hand and hooked Zhang Yixing’s collar with his right.

He dragged the two of them out of the maze by force.

Da Da Mi Mi was also obedient, following closely behind Lin Yu, looking incredibly comical and pathetic, as if they were dragging their whole family along to escape a disaster.
