"Look, it's really fake," Su Lin felt like laughing, but he couldn't. If he laughed now, Lin Xiaowan would definitely resent him and find ways to deal with him later.
"I'm not looking, I'm not looking."
Su Lin felt a bit helpless and kicked the dummy. "It's really fake, look, I kicked it."
"Player, player, please do not damage the props!!"
Su Lin: "..."
Lin Xiaowan: "..."
"It's really fake?"
"Open your eyes and look, it must be fake."
Lin Xiaowan finally opened her eyes and looked at the dummy. It was indeed fake.
It was even very fake. Perhaps Su Lin's kick was a bit hard, and the dummy directly fell to the side, revealing the dry grass inside.
Lin Xiaowan: "?????"
"I already told you it was fake. Let's go return the memorial tablets," Su Lin said with a chuckle, putting Lin Xiaowan down.
Lin Xiaowan blushed a little. She hadn't felt much when she was too nervous, but now that she thought about it, Su Lin had been holding her in his arms just now, his chest so firm.
Uh...
Wrong thoughts.
"Okay, then let's go return the memorial tablets."
Groin Kick~!! [Seeking flowers and votes]
For the first time, Su Lin realized that Lin Xiaowan, who looked so delicate and weak, actually had such strong wrists.
If his body hadn't been strengthened, Su Lin felt his arms would have been sore for days from her grip.
The two walked through several more rooms before arriving at the so-called ancestral hall.
"Su Lin, why is there wind in this ancestral hall? Isn't it a secret room? How can there be wind in a secret room?"
Lin Xiaowan's hair stood on end from the wind. Although she knew it was all fake, she couldn't help but feel scared.
Su Lin comforted her, "Don't worry about it. Just remember it's all fake. Keep repeating 'fake, fake' in your mind, and you won't be scared."
Lin Xiaowan looked at the rows of memorial tablets before her, her heart faltering. She quickly recited as Su Lin had told her.
"Fake, fake, all fake, all props."
"Don't be scared, don't be scared, Lin Xiaowan, don't be scared, it's all fake~!!!"
Su Lin found Lin Xiaowan's mumbling appearance incredibly cute. He now deeply regretted not having a smartphone.
"Let's go, let's go put the memorial tablets back."
Lin Xiaowan stood rooted to the spot, shaking Su Lin's arm. "There's definitely a trap. Su Lin, you go put it back."
Su Lin nodded helplessly. "Alright, you stand here and don't move. I'll go put it back."
"Mhm, Su Lin, hurry up."
"Okay~!"
Su Lin walked over with the memorial tablet. Lin Xiaowan stared intently at Su Lin, worried that something like what happened earlier would occur.
As a result, Su Lin placed the memorial tablet in its position, and nothing happened.
Lin Xiaowan was a little surprised and, at the same time, a little annoyed.
Why was it that nothing happened when Su Lin did it, but she was scared by a ghost when she picked up the memorial tablet?
Just then, a hoarse voice of an old man came from behind Lin Xiaowan.
"Young man, thank you for helping me find my son's memorial tablet. To repay you, I want to give you my treasured treasure map."
Hearing the voice, Lin Xiaowan subconsciously turned her head.
She saw an old man standing behind her at some unknown time, holding a tattered lantern.
"Ah~!!!"
Lin Xiaowan was so startled that she stomped her feet on the spot.
Suddenly, she remembered what Su Lin had told her: fake, all fake.
"Fake, fake, all fake."
"Props, props, all props."
"Wuwuwu~! Why do you always come to scare me? Even props scare me, I'll fight you!"
Saying that, Lin Xiaowan quickly kicked out, delivering a Groin Kick towards the old man.
"Xiao Wan, don't..."
"Awooo~!!!"
A scream echoed through the room.
The old man threw the lantern to the ground and hopped around, clutching his lower body.
He looked like a hunchback, but to Lin Xiaowan, he looked even more terrifying.
"Su Lin... a ghost! There's a ghost!"
Before Su Lin could react, Lin Xiaowan ran over, jumped up, and hugged him, her slender legs clamped tightly around Su Lin's thighs.
"A ghost! There's a ghost! Su Lin, it's real, this time it's really real~!!!"
Su Lin looked at the staff member with a helpless expression. Lin Xiaowan's kick hadn't been light.
Seeing the man's state, he instinctively clenched his own legs.
This girl was usually so easygoing, she never fought with anyone. He never expected her to have such a fierce side.
Seven-three-one-seven-two-nine-one-one-nine
He patted Lin Xiaowan's back and said, "It's not real, it's not a ghost. This is a staff member who came to give us a clue."
"A ghost... Su Lin, there's a ghost."
Lin Xiaowan didn't hear a word he said.
Su Lin was a little helpless. He held Lin Xiaowan with one hand and walked over to the staff member, saying, "I'm sorry, big brother. Xiao Wan didn't mean it."
The old man gave a wry smile. "That was too harsh, hiss~!!!"
Su Lin sighed. He didn't need to be told; he could feel how much it hurt. He took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the old man. "I'm sorry, Xiao Wan really didn't mean it. Consider this compensation for your injuries. Please take it."
Five minutes later, Su Lin and Lin Xiaowan were led out of the escape room by the staff.
Even when they saw the sunlight, Lin Xiaowan was still clinging tightly to Su Lin.
"Her legs are clamped so tight, it's hard to walk."
Su Lin saw a crowd of people looking at him and Lin Xiaowan. He patted Lin Xiaowan's back. "Xiao Wan, we're out now. We're out, there's no ghost."
Lin Xiaowan opened her eyes and saw many people staring at them. She quickly jumped off Su Lin.
"That girl isn't crying. She's so pretty."
"What, you're moved because you saw a pretty girl?"
"How could I be? She already has a boyfriend. What's the point of me being moved?"
"So you mean you'd be moved if she didn't have a boyfriend?"
"That's not what I meant."
"If that's not what you meant, then what did you mean?"
"..."
After getting off Su Lin, Lin Xiaowan grabbed his hand and walked away quickly with her head down.
Only when they were completely out of sight did she let go of Su Lin's hand, turn around, and glare at him. "Su Lin, you did that on purpose. I'm not talking to you anymore."
Su Lin cried out in injustice. "Xiao Wan, you're wronging me. How could I have known the first stage would be so scary? And that old guy was really miserable. He was still recovering when we left after you kicked him."
Su Lin saying that only made Lin Xiaowan angrier. "That was a real person, and you didn't even tell me!"
"Uh... I wanted to tell you, but you screamed and charged at him. I didn't even have time to shout at you."
"Wuwuwu~! My reputation is ruined today. It's all your fault." Lin Xiaowan hit Su Lin a few times.
"How could it be ruined? I think you were very cute today. It's just a shame we only completed the first task in this escape room and got kicked out by the staff before we even got any clues," Su Lin sighed.
"We're probably the only players who've ever been kicked out by the staff."
"Heh! Not really. When I was researching online before, I saw a couple who beat up the staff."
"Really? You're not lying to me?"
Su Lin nodded. "It must be true. That guy saw his girlfriend crying from being scared and got angry. He thought someone was trying to scare people, so he beat up the guy who was playing the ghost and paid a lot of money."
Mentioning paying money made Lin Xiaowan feel a little embarrassed. Although she had closed her eyes from fear earlier, Su Lin had paid money.
"Su Lin, how much did you pay? I'll pay you back."
