Little Lockpicking Expert

He skimmed through the list and found that there were some disclaimers, including suggestions about heart disease, high blood pressure, and so on.

The lady at the front desk also told them a few things to take note of, and simply summarized it into a single sentence.

"Protect yourself and don't bump into anything."

If they really could not find any clues, they could use the walkie-talkie to ask for help. If they could not, they could also quit.

Finally, the last rule was to not hit the NPCs.

"Uh... Don't tell me you guys chose a horror themed escape room?" Luo Zhengnan scratched his head. He had run over as soon as he heard that Gao Qingyun was here, but he had not asked what they were doing.

"That's right. I chose it," Luo Zixuan replied with a smile, as if she was asking for credit. But in her heart, she was thinking, "Big bro, you have to make good use of this terrifying chamber."

"Ah... Alright, it's a good choice." Luo Zhengnan was smiling on the surface, but he was cursing in his heart.

Cheng Xu did not think much of it. It was his first experience anyway, so he was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers.

Everyone signed their names one by one and went to the bathroom. The NPC was ready after receiving the instructions.

The difficulty of the previous levels was limited. It was not too difficult to solve the puzzles by overcoming the terrifying scenes. Soon, they reached the last room. After collecting all the clues, they unlocked the password and cleared the game.

With the full cooperation of the four girls, the chain of evidence was quickly put together. Now, they just had to wait for them to unlock it.

"How's the progress on your side?"

"This is a circuit switch password lock. It's easy to crack, but there's a button that doesn't seem to work."

"Why don't I try?"

Cheng Xu wanted to repair the inside of the switch.

"It's fine. I've removed the loose switch. We can just solve it from the inside."

Cheng Xu did not say anything else after hearing Luo Zhengnan's words.

In all fairness, it was a piece of cake for him to solve this with his intelligence. He found the solution in less than a minute, only because of the half-broken switch.

"There's a place I can't touch, so I need to poke it with something."

"Here you go. I found a pencil on the ground."

"If you're using a pencil, you have to be careful. Graphite is conductive."

Cheng Xu was a little worried, so he reminded him.

"Yes, thank you for the reminder. I'll be fine if I use the one that wasn't cut off."

Luo Zhengnan stuck the pencil into the hole as soon as he finished speaking. However, no one noticed that the other end of the pencil was wet under the dim light.

"Hey! Hey! I tripped the switch. Hurry up and reset it."

A burning smell came from the pencil, and the entire secret room became pitch-black.

"Ah!"

"Don't be afraid, hug me."

Gao Qingyun stretched out her hand and squeezed someone.

"Hmm, that must be Wenwen... Zixuan! I didn't tell you to pinch me."

"What do we do now? Can we still get out?"

Yu Yunwen's voice was obviously a little scared.

"It's fine, it's just a circuit breaker. It'll be back on in a while."

Gao Qingyun also picked up her walkie-talkie and said, "We have a power outage, we need help."

"I've already asked the staff to repair it. The electricity will be here soon. Don't be afraid, my dear."

Hearing the voice from the walkie-talkie, everyone finally felt relieved.

"Strange? Why did it short-circuit? Did I stick a few wires together? That shouldn't be the case." Luo Zhengnan, who was mumbling to himself, began to doubt his life.

"Maybe the pencil was wet?"

Cheng Xu had only found out about the situation after using his mind to sense it.

When he was playing the secret room, he had never used the system's ability to explore.

With the sound of an electric current, the electricity finally came back, but the room was still dark.

The strange music sounded again, but the light source must have been damaged in the short circuit just now.

"The loudspeaker isn't broken. It's ridiculous that the light is still out."

"The power was restarted just now, so I had to type in the password again. But it's all black now and I can't see anything."

Seeing that Gao Qingyun was about to pick up the walkie-talkie to call, Cheng Xu spoke up.

"No need, I've already memorized everything."

Cheng Xu pressed a few buttons and heard the door open with a click.

"Wow! He's so smart, right? That's my little brother, Cheng Xu."

"You're awesome! You're even better than my brother."

"We finally cleared the stage!"

Even Luo Zhengnan, who had always been arrogant, could not help but admire Cheng Xu. It should be known that there were at least a dozen operations to unlock the game, and each time, there were at least seven to eight choices. It was really not easy to press all the buttons correctly under such circumstances.

At that moment, Cheng Xu really wanted to say,"Stop complimenting me, stop complimenting me. I just randomly pressed a few buttons and cleared the game with one click."

However, he had no choice but to go against his conscience and accept the praise from the girls.

Walking out of the secret chamber, he felt that the air outside was really fresh, and everything was so beautiful and sunny.

"Dear customers, I'm really sorry. Due to our negligence, your gaming experience has been affected. I'm really sorry. I'll return the money to you now."

Seeing them come out, the lady at the front desk immediately ran over and apologized to them.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal. We've already experienced the whole thing. It's not easy to be in this business."

Gao Qingyun waved her hand, indicating that there was no need for a refund. After all, they were somewhat responsible for this matter.

"I'm really sorry."

...

"How is it? Do you think it was fun?"

"It was so much fun. I'll come again next time, but I won't bring him along," Luo Zixuan pointed at her brother and said.

Luo Zhengnan could only shake his head helplessly.

"I still have some urgent matters to attend to at home tonight, so I won't be able to invite you guys for dinner."

"See you tomorrow, Yunyun. I'll see you again, little bro."

Luo Zixuan waved her little hand and dragged her brother away.

Luo Zhengnan also smiled and nodded at Cheng Xu and the others.

Yu Yunwen greeted the two of them and left with them.

At first, Cheng Xu thought that this rich and handsome man, who seemed to admire Gao Qingyun, would go against him. But after spending half a day with him, he felt that the other party was just an ordinary person, and even more cultured than many people.

In a moment, only Cheng Xu and Gao Qingyun were left.

"Here you go,"

He suddenly took out something from his pocket and handed it to Gao Qingyun.

"What's the hurry? I'm not in a hurry to use it. You can continue driving."

Seeing that it was a car key, Gao Qingyun's slightly opened mouth pouted again, and her tone seemed to be a little unhappy. She felt that Cheng Xu was being too distant.

Seeing that Gao Qingyun's expression was a little off, Cheng Xu hurriedly explained,

"That's not what I meant. I just feel that it's a waste to leave this car at my place. I rarely drive it."
