The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 268

Lan Tianyou stood in place for a long time, waiting until the footsteps of the ghost prison guard disappeared and there were no more ghosts to be seen on the surveillance cameras.

Only then did he stop trembling, open the locker door, and walk out.

He picked up the coat and ran!

Oh my god, scared to tears.

He first ran to Gu Beihuai's room, hands trembling as he unlocked it.

Because of the shaking, it took several tries before he succeeded.

But luckily he finally opened it and successfully rescued Gu Beihuai!

After Gu Beihuai came out, he patted Lan Tianyou on the shoulder: "Thanks for the hard work, leave the rest to me."

Lan Tianyou nodded wildly. Heaven knows how stressful it was to do a solo mission.

The two came to the second room and opened the door lock.

But when they opened the door, they didn't see Nan Xiangwan come out.

After observing for a while, they saw that Nan Xiangwan was lying there sleeping soundly!

Lan Tianyou: "......"

What kind of strong heart is needed to be able to fall asleep in this situation?

Lan Tianyou's little brain could not figure it out.

Gu Beihuai took a look, but didn't go to wake up the little cub, and immediately went to the third room.

There was no way Lan Tianyou would stay by himself, so he hurried to follow along.

And so, Guan Liangzhe was rescued.

As soon as Guan Liangzhe came out, he started hugging Lan Tianyou and howling.

The two brothers were reunited again, embracing each other while howling loudly.

Guan Liangzhe: "It was so hard for me! I was locked up with a ghost!"

Lan Tianyou: "I had a close encounter with a ghost prison guard! Scared me to tears!"

The two of them howled as Gu Beihuai shook his head.

He took the two back to Nan Xiangwan's second room.

To call the little cub to get up!

Nan Xiangwan yawned and sat up, looking at the three people: "Is it over?"

Gu Beihuai: "No, on to the next level."

Guan Liangzhe: “What, there’s still a next level?!"

Lan Tianyou: “It’s one ring after another, I can hardly take it anymore.”

After organizing her thoughts, Nan Xiangwan said, "That's right, we haven't found the good friend yet, it's not over."

Guan Liangzhe: “Don’t mention the good friend, ahhh!"

Lan Tianyou: “Can we please not have any more solo missions? I really can’t do it anymore!”

After the four gathered together, they re-examined each room.

With no flashlight, apart from the guard room that had lights, the other three rooms could only be examined using the light from the corridor.

Guan Liangzhe suddenly thought of something and knocked on his head: "That's right! There was originally a female ghost in my room, but she suddenly disappeared."

Lan Tianyou: “Then there must be a secret passage in your room!"

Nan Xiangwan: "Let's go, let's go!"

Guan Liangzhe: "No, I don't want to go back."

Lan Tianyou: “We’ll hold you while we walk back."

Nan Xiangwan: “Come on, stop delaying, we’re all hungry.”

Under coercion, the four returned to the third room once again.

After searching around, they did indeed find a secret passage.

Opening the box revealed a ladder leading down.

However, it was pitch black and very scary.

Nan Xiangwan was daring and directly started climbing down. Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou followed closely behind, and Gu Beihuai was still the last one as usual.

Not long after climbing down, their feet touched the ground.

Nan Xiangwan jumped down and looked around.

It was an enclosed basement, and right next to where she landed was a light switch.

She reached out and turned it on, but unexpectedly it wasn’t the light, but an alarm!

Wooo Wooo!

The alarm blared all around them, the alarm light flashing red.

Originally Gu Beihuai couldn’t see anything, but now with the red light it was much better, and he climbed down faster.

Upon hearing the alarm, Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou screamed again and tumbled and crawled down, huddling together in the corner.

With the light, Gu Beihuai shifted into invincible mode.

He quickly scanned the surroundings.

He discovered this was actually a torture chamber!

Huge crosses with blood-stained white cloth strips tied to them, and skulls scattered all around.

The atmosphere was extremely creepy.

Gu Beihuai frowned. "What kind of prison from what era is this that carries out torture?"

Nan Xiangwan moved closer and said: “An illegal prison!"

Gu Beihuai said: “That makes sense. The prisoners imprisoned here suffered cruel and inhuman torture."

Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou listened to the two analyze things and felt they were close to collapsing.

Stop analyzing already, they just wanted to get out!

Nan Xiangwan walked to the cross and sniffed: “It smells so good.”

Gu Beihuai: "......"

Guan Liangzhe: "???"

Lan Tianyou: "!!!"

What on earth are you saying smells good next to bloodstains?!

You’re so scary!

You’re even more terrifying than a ghost!

Nan Xiangwan pointed at the blood stains: “It really smells good, is it tomato juice or strawberry juice? Anyway, I’m hungry.”

The three men: "......"

Director team: "......"

Comment section: "......"

Gu Beihuai gently coughed and began analyzing, “Is it possible that the female ghost we encountered at first had a good friend originally. The two were inmates at this prison, but because it wasn’t a formal prison, her friend was taken away to be tortured in an extremely cruel way until death, and she was separated from her friend.”

Gu Beihuai: “Plus, because there were three floors in total and they couldn’t find each other, and her friend died from torture, her resentment ran deep and she became a fierce ghost.”

Gu Beihuai: “As for the crawling ghost we encountered on the second floor, he must have lost something. So our mission is to find the friend for the female ghost on the first floor, and find the lost item for the crawling ghost on the second floor?"

After he finished speaking, the mission immediately became clear.

The director team behind the scenes started wailing!

Hua Yuanwu pounded the table and shouted loudly: “Make it harder! How many times do I have to say it, make it harder! They figured the whole thing out, how is this still playable? We haven’t even used the mission hints yet!”

The staff were speechless. What could they do? This was already the highest difficulty escape room.

Who knew Gu Beihuai’s brain worked like this!

Figuring it out in minutes!

Upon hearing Gu Beihuai’s words, Nan Xiangwan felt they were extremely reasonable.

So she started rummaging through the pile of skull props on the ground, tossing them around.

Those skulls were tossed high up into the air before falling and scattering all over the room.

The skulls rolled towards Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou huddled in the corner. Glancing down, they saw something roll over.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Ahhhhhh!"

The two started another round of wailing.

Gu Beihuai ignored their voices and started looking for other clues on the walls.

At this moment, the red alarm light suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the light went out!

Then, another light came on.

A figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the open space!

Wearing red, it was the female ghost with her hair down. 𝐟r𝗲𝚎𝚠e𝐛no𝘃𝗲𝐥.c𝗼m

Or rather, it was white prisoner clothing dyed red with blood. She was barefoot, standing there.

Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou were scared to tears on the spot!

Nan Xiangwan, on the other hand, was amazed. This basement was fully enclosed with no doors, so how did she get in?

Gu Beihuai: “It’s a holographic projection.”

Comment section-

:Quick, slap a "Big Production" label on the program team's foreheads!

:They even brought in holographic projections! Awesome show team!

:It really is a big production! Scared the two good-for-nothings to death haha!

:This female ghost looks quite pretty, were templates used for the virtual character?

...

The comment section discussed animatedly.

Nan Xiangwan walked forward and touched it.

She touched nothing, it really was a holographic projection!

So High-tech!
