Chapter 901

"Holy crap, there's a linguistics angle too? He could think of that? That's too absurd!"

"I've discovered that Lin Yu and Yang Mi are really a great match; there's a feeling of 'the husband sings and the wife follows,' which made me reveal an auntie-smile outside the screen."

"Who says it isn't! It's just too shippable; I'm completely watching this show like an idol drama."

"Numbers! Colors! Languages! I feel like the escape room stages for this phase are really designed to be complex!"

"For the first time, I feel like learning a foreign language is so useful."

"Reminds me of a line from Titanic: 'Jack-Slovakia!'"

"Damn, buddy, you're watching the adult version, aren't you! The car is driving a bit fast!"

"......"

In the footage.

The wooden box was opened.

Inside was a cowhide-colored envelope.

They also found an irregular blue-green Z-shaped wooden block like a Lego piece.

It even had a 180-degree direction sign drawn on it.

"What's written on the letter?"

"I'll read it for everyone."

As he spoke, Da Zhangwei opened the envelope.

"Tao Wei, you have been gone for over ten years."

"I have never dared to leave this theater, always waiting. Perhaps one day you will return. I come to this room every day to admire your beautiful dance, and only after dancing with you do I leave with reluctance. I hope I still have a chance to see you in this lifetime, to ask for your forgiveness and pardon in person."

——Roger, Mt925.

"Hey! How did another Roger pop up?"

"Looking at the content, gone for over ten years, it should be after Tao Wei went missing."

Huang Minghao frowned.

How was this getting more and more complicated?

"This is indeed a suspicious point. Wasn't Edward going to propose to Tao Wei before?"

"How did a third party pop up here?"

Zhang Yixing pondered, supporting his chin.

"It shouldn't be a third party. This letter was written in Mt925, and Tao Wei left in Mt915."

"Edward had already passed away by then."

Peng Peng added from the side.

"There's another point that's quite scary: it says Roger only leaves after dancing with Tao Wei every day."

"Could it be a Tao Wei in his imagination, or...?"

Yang Mi didn't dare to continue analyzing.

"Let's study this thing on the ground first!"

Lin Yu pointed to the strange control lever they had just found in the box and changed the subject.

"Everyone, look for where this control lever can be inserted in this room."

As Lin Yu spoke, he began leading everyone to search.

The rehearsal room wasn't big.

Soon, everyone discovered several loose coat hooks on the wall.

The hole left after taking them down was exactly the same size and shape as the control lever.

"Wow! We are truly smart."

"Yeah, this phase has been so smooth with Brother Yu's help."

As Zhang Yixing spoke, he inserted the control lever into the triangular hole high on the wall.

However, the next moment.

The mirror in the rehearsal room suddenly lit up.

What was hair-raising was that on the other side of the mirror, clearly visible under the spotlight, was a girl bowing in a ballet skirt.

"Ah!"

"Damn!"

"Mommy! What is this?"

Everyone's eyes widened, feeling a cold wind hit their spines, and they all retreated in fear.

They backed against the wall on the other side.

And on the other side of the mirror.

Under the spotlight, the eerie ballet dancer was expressionless, like a puppet mannequin; she first stood up mechanically, then remained motionless.

"This, this, this, why is she stuck here?"

Da Zhangwei, in his anxiety, stuttered.

"It should be necessary to turn this control lever."

"To reach the 180-degree position."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

Hearing this, Zhang Yixing applied force to his hand.

Accompanied by a series of gear sounds, the control lever was turned to the 180-degree position.

"It moved! It moved!"

When the control lever reached the correct angle.

The ballet dancer on the other side of the mirror also began to move her body mechanically.

This dance was extremely eerie, with no beauty to speak of; it was just like a little figure on a music box, all puppet-like movements.

"She dances so mechanically!"

"So amazing!"

Yang Mi couldn't help but clap and praise.

And just after dancing for a while, the dancer suddenly stopped abruptly, and the lights went out.

???

Seeing this, everyone was a bit bewildered.

What was the situation with this dance that had no beginning or end?

What meaning did it have?

"We should watch it again."

"This dance might contain the password to open the door."

Huang Minghao had a flash of inspiration and blurted out.

"Right, right, right, there must be some numbers or some useful information in her dance moves."

Da Zhangwei widened his eyes and said firmly.

"Okay."

Peng Peng took the initiative to step forward this time and turned the control lever back 180 degrees.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, the spotlight on the other side of the mirror turned on again.

The dancer returned to her previous position.
