Chapter 46 : Escape Room, Timid Lin Xiaowan
Seeing one girl after another coming out in tears, the queue outside was getting longer, and most of the boys accompanied the girls.
It was evident that girls were truly a contradictory group, lacking a clear understanding of their own abilities and seeking excitement unnecessarily.
Su Lin looked at Lin Xiaowan, whose face had turned a bit pale, feeling somewhat sympathetic. “If you’re really scared, we won’t play this. We can go for the activities you mentioned.”
Lin Xiaowan shook her head. “So many girls are playing it; it means this activity is interesting. It’s just that their tolerance level is low. I want to give it a try.”
Courting death~!! Indeed, no woman could escape the law of courting death.
“I did advise you earlier. Don’t cry later and let others think I bullied you,” Su Lin teased with a smile.
Lin Xiaowan rolled her eyes at Su Lin coquettishly. “I won’t be like them.”
After a long one-hour wait in line, it was finally Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan’s turn. Lin Xiaowan carefully read the instructions on the wall. Su Lin gave her a tug, and they approached together.
“Are you two playing the two-player mission or the single-player mission?”
Su Lin glanced at Lin Xiaowan and said, “Let’s go for the two-player mission.”
He then said, “Go inside, and remember not to run around inside. Pay attention to your girlfriend; if you can’t continue, shout loudly, and a staff member will guide you out.”
Su Lin nodded.
The two entered through the door. As the door closed, the interior became pitch black.
Lin Xiaowan grabbed Su Lin’s wrist in the darkness. “Su Lin, why is it so dark in here?”
“I’ve never been here; how could I know what it’s like inside? Hold onto me, and I’ll lead you.”
Su Lin had enhanced night vision abilities throughout his body, and he could see clearly inside after a short period of adaptation.
After walking through two corridors, they reached a door reminiscent of ancient times. This type of wooden door was rare in Zhongjiang nowadays. The door looked shabby, with two worn-out lanterns hanging above it.
“Xiaowan… Xiaowan?”
“Ah~! Where are we, Su Lin?”
“We’ve reached the door to the escape room. Xiaowan, you’re not going to keep your eyes closed the whole time, are you?” Su Lin asked with a sweatdrop.
“Ah~! It’s so bright outside, and it’s so dark here.”
“Hehe~! It’s okay; there’s light now. You can open your eyes.”
“Oh~! Okay!”
Lin Xiaowan slowly opened her eyes. “Ah~! Where is this? How did it suddenly change to this?”
Before Su Lin could respond, the staff began explaining the task. “Dear players, welcome to the escape room. You need to find three clues within the specified time and use those clues to find the key. Only after obtaining the key can you leave the escape room.”
“Now, for the first task, players must enter the escape room, find a missing memorial tablet, and place it on the ancestral hall’s tablet stand.”
Su Lin had one arm around Lin Xiaowan’s shoulder and gently patted her head.
Mmm~!! It felt very comfortable.
Su Lin had wanted to do this for a long time. Lin Xiaowan gave him the feeling of a noble Persian cat. He used to only dream about it, but now he could actually touch her head.
“Xiaowan, don’t be nervous. Let’s complete the task first.”
“Su… Su Lin, why is this place scarier than a haunted house?” Lin Xiaowan said with a trembling voice.
“Hehe~! Otherwise, why would it be called an escape room? Come on~!” Su Lin led Lin Xiaowan into the room.
The room’s furnishings were exquisite, typical of the Qing Dynasty style. There was a table on the left and right, each with two chairs, and another table with two chairs directly in front. On the table were teapots and teacups, but there was no water.
Su Lin scan the room but didn’t find anything suspicious.
“Su Lin, I see the memorial tablet,” Lin Xiaowan exclaimed with excitement. She let go of Su Lin’s hand and moved to pick it up.
Su Lin sighed; sometimes, she was timid, while other times, she was quite brave. Just like now, she dared to go alone. Su Lin was willing to bet that this memorial tablet wouldn’t be easy to obtain.
Lin Xiaowan picked up the memorial tablet. At that moment, Su Lin heard a “piu~” sound, and a figure popped up from behind Lin Xiaowan.
Lin Xiaowan was about to turn around to find Su Lin when she saw a pale person right in front of her, staring at her.
“Why… Why did you take my memorial tablet?”
“Ah~! Ghost…!” Lin Xiaowan dropped the memorial tablet and tried to run outside.
Su Lin immediately scooped her up. “It’s fake, it’s fake~!! That’s fake.”
“Ghost, Su Lin… there’s a ghost.”
Su Lin patted Lin Xiaowan’s back and shouted, “It’s fake; that’s a fake person.” He carried Lin Xiaowan and moved closer. “Look carefully.”
“No, no, no… I won’t look.”
“You look; it’s really fake.” Su Lin wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t. If he laughed now, Lin Xiaowan would surely hold a grudge, and she’d find a way to get back at him later.
“I won’t look; I won’t look.”
Su Lin was a bit helpless and kicked the fake person. “It’s really fake; see, I kicked it.”
“Players, please do not damage the props~!!”
Su Lin: “…”
Lin Xiaowan: “…”
“Is it really fake?”
“Open your eyes and see; it’s definitely fake.”
Lin Xiaowan finally opened her eyes and looked at the fake person. Indeed, it was fake, and it looked very fake. Perhaps Su Lin had kicked it too hard; the fake person fell to the side, revealing the straw inside.
Lin Xiaowan: “???”
“I told you it’s fake. Come on, let’s return the memorial tablet.” Su Lin smiled and gently put Lin Xiaowan down.
Lin Xiaowan blushed a bit. She hadn’t felt much when Su Lin held her tightly earlier, but now, thinking about how she was held by Su Lin, his strong chest…
She started thinking in the wrong direction.
“Alright, let’s go return the memorial tablet.”
