TWISTED LITTLE MIND

As the end of the escape game drew near, the crowd became more excited. The female contestant was reaching her limit. Everyone could tell that she would not survive for much longer because blood was flowing from her nose, and she was coughing painfully. 

However, Firebird announced she was on the final clue to find her way out. 

The other contestant was on his second-last clue, but he was only breathing laboriously. He was in a much better condition than his opponent, perhaps due to his large size. If the female contestant died, he would have a better chance of winning. 

Of course, there was a high probability there would be no winner. 

One minute passed as the woman tried to play the xylophone, according to the mathematical sequence of the code she just solved. In theory, the tune she needed to play was not hard as long as she knew the scale. 

However, her hands were shaking, and her violent coughs were a deterrent.
