Lu Jing and her friends were playing a newly released theme this time, with a horror rating that shot straight up to five stars.
Many people had gotten scared and left just after entering, and those who hadn’t left just screamed non-stop.
Lu Jing was quite okay, though she shook a little from time to time, overall, she was relatively calm and composed.
However, Jiang Yuan was not okay at all; after entering, she basically clung to Lu Jing.
"Wuwuwu, Sister Lu, let’s get out of here, it’s too scary."
Lu Jing also wanted to leave, but at this point, it was either clear the game or wait in place for rescue.
But waiting here seemed worse than fighting their way out.
"Don’t be afraid, it’s all fake."
Everyone knew it was fake, but when you’re actually in the situation, your mind and body seemed like two separate entities.
"Wuwu, how much longer until we clear it?"
"I don’t know, but this should be the penultimate stage."
As long as they got through, only the last challenge remained.
Lu Jing was never the type to quit halfway unless there were special circumstances, she always persisted to the end.
Jiang Yuan had lost all reason now, and whatever Lu Jing said was what went.
"Sister Lu, I’ll follow you."
And she stuck to her like glue.
Neither of them knew that Jiang Ye was right next door at that very moment, which was the last stage.
The people in the escape room monitoring room were dumbfounded:
"This tm, is this even human?"
"From entering to reaching the final stage, he used less than five minutes."
"Right, right, the ghosts don’t scare him at all!"
Instead, he scared the ghosts so much they kept their distance.
That icy look in Jiang Ye’s eyes, how could an ordinary person withstand it?
"The most important thing is, he’s not leaving now, not because he can’t clear the stage, it looks like he’s intentionally waiting there!"
A bunch of people were utterly confused.
For Jiang Ye, this was what? Child’s play?
They should think about what they usually do.
They deal with grabbing people from right under King Yan’s nose.
If you’re not afraid of King Yan, would you be scared of a little ghost?
Ten minutes passed... twenty minutes passed...
Finally, Lu Jing cleared the stage with Jiang Yuan, and suddenly all the ghosts vanished, leaving behind only a path shining with a strong white light.
"Sister Lu, is that the last stage?"
"Let’s... let’s go," she stuttered.
Lu Jing was somewhat amused:
"You’re so scared, why did you even think of coming to play?"
Even if other people play, there’s no need to come on purpose, right?
To challenge oneself?
"There’s a girl I really hate, she’s so good at this game."
There had to be more to the story.
Jiang Yuan then spoke up bashfully, it turned out that the annoying person was Jiang Yuan’s romantic rival!
And that girl would often bring the male classmate Jiang Yuan fancied to play escape rooms.
Definitely still too young!
And the main reason Jiang Yuan insisted on coming this time was to personally experience and see just how fun escaping rooms was.
Not fun at all, it was terrifying.
If Sister Lu hadn’t been there, Jiang Yuan felt she would have cried from fear at the very first stage.
Lu Jing cleared her throat:
"No problem, if you want to play in the future, you can find me."
Courage, well, isn’t it just something you develop with a little practice?
"Really?" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel·fıre·net
"Mhm, but I’m in Nanxi City, you’ll have to come find me there."
"That’s fine, no problem."
A few hours on a plane, plenty for a round trip on the weekend.
