Because the production team needed to film a program here, they booked this large-scale, two-story, real-life escape room, which covers nearly a thousand square meters.
The grand scale of everyone participating, along with the prior coordination with the production team, almost maximized the experience of this game.
"Welcome to Yin Official Village, everyone. I'm your tour guide, Brother Li. I will now lead you into the Yin Official Village and ensure your safety."
After speaking, the tour guide, wearing a tour guide jacket and holding a small flag, distributed blindfolds to everyone.
"Please put on your blindfolds, and then put your hands on the shoulders of the person in front of you."
[Wow, is this really exciting? They don't even give us a heads-up, no time to react before starting?]
[Thanks for the invitation, but I wouldn't dare watch it even if you guys dared to record it.]
[However, why does my wife look even more alluring when she's wearing an eye mask?]
[Hey, you can't just wear an eye mask anywhere! Who knows what people might do to you if you do?]
[If they could see, they would all pretend to be self-disciplined and well-behaved for fear of upsetting their wives and leaving a bad impression. But if they couldn't see, they wouldn't care and would do whatever they wanted.]
Just because our wives can't see it doesn't mean we can't.
[That's not necessarily true. Once we're inside, it'll be dark and crowded. Even if I manage to give someone a quick pinch on the waist, no one will notice.]
[I dreamt of my wife, who was terrified and turned pale.]
With his view blocked, Shen Shuangjian couldn't see, so he could only listen to the tour guide and put his hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him.
When the person behind him reached out to touch him, Shen Shuangjian almost instinctively flinched, but quickly, those hands obediently and gently rested on his shoulders.
"Please be careful, tourists. There's a right turn in about ten steps ahead."
The tour guide's voice guided the way, interspersed with Lin Weiluo's anxious complaints and screams, instantly creating a lively atmosphere.
Are you scared?
A soft breath came from beside her ear, followed by Xie Jinghui's whisper, which instantly sent a shiver down Shen Shuangjian's spine.
"If you're afraid of the dark or ghosts, we can stop the game."
Almost instantly, a thin layer of pink appeared on Shen Shuangjian's face in the darkness.
"..."
Shen Shuangjian lowered her head and moved closer to Xie Jinghui, keeping her body away from him. "I'm not afraid of these things."
Shen Shuangjian's reaction was not unexpected by Xie Jinghui; in fact, he was well aware that his seemingly normal reaction was a subtle and malicious reminder.
If you can't take it anymore, or if you need to stop, I can end this and take you to clean up.
Last night, Xie Jinghui also whispered something similar in Shen Shuangjian's ear.
Shen Shuangjian perhaps drunk and confused, but Xie Jinghui remained impeccably dressed and completely composed.
He remembered every reaction Shen Shuangjian last night. When she couldn't accept it, Shen Shuangjian would reflexively curl up, trying to shield herself from it.
So Xie Jinghui said those words.
But he knew very well that it was difficult for someone who was drunk and had a weak sense of reason to stop there.
Shen Shuangjian, in her greed, secretly hooked her arm around his sleeve.
Perhaps Shen Shuangjian can no longer recall such profound details.
But Xie Jinghui will not forget it. He will remember the sweetness of this reward and savor it carefully until he receives even more sweetness.
It wasn't that Shen Shuangjian on a brave face.
Although he had never been to a similar occasion before, Shen Shuangjian he was indeed not afraid.
Aside from the unease and wariness of having her vision obstructed, Shen Shuangjian neither afraid of the dark nor of ghosts.
"Everyone can take off their blindfolds now."
When the blindfold was removed, Shen Shuangjian, by the dim light of the red lanterns, found herself standing in an ancient village that had been artificially created.
There were a few dilapidated tile-roofed houses, winding paths, and locked wooden doors. The rest of the area was too dark for Shen Shuangjian see clearly.
"Welcome everyone to Yin Official Village. Ahead is the village entrance's small shop. You can buy whatever you need from there. Further ahead is where the villagers live."
"..."
The tour guide was rambling on about the game's mechanics, and just as he finished, the lights, which had been barely enough to see, suddenly dimmed.
"Ah! What's going on? Why did it suddenly go dark!" Lin Weiluo was startled and cried out, instantly grabbing Yu Sheng's arm beside her.
"Um... Sister Weiluo, I know you're scared, but don't be afraid, it's all fake, and... you're scratching too hard!"
The lights came on again, and the tour guide had vanished from somewhere, leaving only seven flashlights and a note behind.
"How boring."
Xie Qingchi was the closest. He casually picked up his flashlight and shone it on the note. After reading it, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Find the exit and escape!"
The eight large, blood-red characters on the note were somewhat messy, and everyone knew that the prelude to the game was over and the main event was about to begin.
"Then what do we do? Where should we go?"
Song Shi was also a little afraid of these things. Like Lin Weiluo, he leaned against Yu Sheng's right side, and the two of them shared the space with Yu Sheng seemed particularly optimistic and stable in his mood.
"Actually, you can just keep going forward. I used to play this game a lot. At each level, a specific NPC will spawn, and then ghosts will come out to scare us, but they're all fake, so don't be afraid."
Yu Sheng pulled the two people who were standing still forward two steps. He secretly glanced at Shen Shuangjian, who was in the center of the crowd, and unconsciously showed a hint of regret.
He had originally thought that if Shen Shuangjian afraid, then he could protect Shuangjian closely. If that happened, Shuangjian might even find him particularly reliable.
But amidst those two feelings of regret, he also felt a faint sense of relief.
Because if Shen Shuangjian were truly terrified and pale, he would feel sorry for her and wouldn't want to continue participating.
"Then I'll lead the way. You all follow behind me. If there's any danger, run, and I'll hold them off."
Yu Sheng broke free from the two kangaroos' restraints, took a flashlight, and went to the front.
Let's go.
Lin Wei was so moved by this that tears streamed down her face.
She gave him a thumbs up and exclaimed, " Xiao Yu, I declare that at this very moment you are the bravest man, without a doubt!"
Beside them, Xie Qingchi stood silently with his arms crossed, looking down on everyone except Shen Shuangjian.
He glanced at Yu Sheng's conspicuous behavior and inwardly scoffed.
How does playing an escape room game make you the bravest man?
shallow.
