Sweetie and Liu Liu were surprised,
not because the scene now before them was too shocking, nor because the escape difficulty of the "gate" exceeded their imagination.
Instead, the conclusion of this "gate" option turned out to be beyond their initial assumptions... ordinary.
The gate consisted of two metal bars, casually locked with a rusty chain as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and what locked the chains was an equally rusted lock.
The keyhole was very large, seemingly an ancient spring lock structure; it appeared that with a little lockpicking skill, one could easily pry it open.
Next to the gate of Ming River Middle School stood a crude guard hut constructed of red bricks.
The guard hut resembled a shabby public toilet—with walls on all sides, no windows, and only a wooden door that seemed as if it could be smashed open with a single slap.
Next to the door, an ugly old dog with wrinkled fur lay lazily by the door.
