The sound was so loud that it broke her eardrums.

He Zhou thought that something had happened to Cheng Yi and rushed in in a panic. He saw Cheng Yi squatting on the ground with her head in her hands, trembling. When He Zhou touched her shoulder, wanting to comfort her, Cheng Yi kept waving her hands. Fear was written all over her face. In the end, He Yi restrained her and woke her up from her fear.

Cheng Yi looked up. Her lips were pale, and the light in her eyes gradually condensed.

Even though the secret chamber was filled with a strange green light that made people’s faces blurry, she could still clearly feel the disgust from everyone.

“Why don’t you go back, Xiao Yi?” He Sui pursed his lips and said.

They hadn’t even started yet, and she was already so scared. Wouldn’t he have to live with her constant screams later? How would he solve the puzzle then? Even if they were not tolerant, her classmates would probably have thoughts about her.

“No, I’m not going back!” Cheng Yi retorted.

She gripped He Zhou’s clothes tightly and said, “I…lt’s alright, my third brother will protect me. With a third brother here, I’m not afraid.”

He Zhou furrowed his brows and finally realized how wrong he had decided to call her over. However, she was the one who called her over, so he naturally had to take responsibility until the end. Thus, he could only say, “Then I’ll be in the same group as you. Close your eyes tightly, and don’t open them. Cover your ears, too. I’ll hold your hand and lead you away.”

Cheng Yi didn’t want to be chased out, so she pretended to be obedient and nodded. The others didn’t say anything for He Zhou’s sake.

“Then let’s begin,” He Jing said.

This was the beginning of the mystery escape in Room 01.

Secret Room 01 was a horror theme of The Bride of the Republic of China. It was about the young master of the Lin family being forced to marry a young lady from an aristocratic family for the sake of his family’s interests. He abandoned his beloved woman, Huiniang. On the night of his wedding,

Huiniang committed suicide and became a vengeful spirit. She lingered in the Lin family’s old house and refused to leave. The player had to guess Huiniang’s wish according to clues and help her complete it, sending her into reincarnation. The current Secret Room 01 was the Lin family’s old house.

He Jing glanced at the closed door of the Lin family’s old residence. “The door isn’t open. Think of a way to open it.”

He Sui picked up the vintage copper lock and broke it. “We need to find the key.

Let’s split up and look for it.”

There were three walls outside the Lin family’s old residence. There were strange patterns on each wall. He Chen held the flashlight given by the staff and shone it on the wall. He said, “It looks like an animal.”

“It’s a turtle.” Wu Yu quickly went over.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qiuyu, who was behind him, also shouted, “I have some here too.”

“It’s a little bird.” He Sui hurriedly came over and took a look at the green light in the background of the secret room.

Yan Hanxi stood in front of another wall. “I have a cat.’

“What kind of clue is this?” Wu Yu was dumbfounded. “It was probably just a random drawing, right? Why don’t we look for the flower pot in the corner and see if the key is there?”

“The key is on the east wall,” He Jing said calmly.

Except for Yan Hanxi, everyone turned around and was stunned.

“Why?”

He Sui’s mind was suddenly enlightened. “That’s right. Green Dragon, White

Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Turtle, Vermilion Bird, Cat, White Tiger.

Without Green Dragon, Green Dragon’s position is in the east, but…”

“Why is it on the wall?” he asked, looking at He Jing in confusion.

Before He Jing could answer, Yan Hanxi smiled and said, “Because it’s easy to find it on the ground. This wall is not capped, but it’s two meters high. Ordinary people can’t reach this height. It’s the safest place to put it on the ground..”
