Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 60: You Think I’ve Never Seen a Vulture?
The card collection room in the fourth level is still safe, it has lights.
A few scared chickens huddled in the fourth level for quite a while before daring to go into the third level again.
Song Xi took on the image of a big brother among brothers and said, "Let’s overcome this. The desks and brooms here are useful. If the pool is not deep, we can walk across with the desks. If not, we can use the brooms to measure how deep it is."
Blindly moving a few desks away, Yu Xia and Shu Ran dragged two chairs behind and hastily headed towards the ninth level.
It was a coincidence that the narrow door from the eighth to the ninth level could just let the desks pass through when laid down.
Everyone exchanged a surprised look, feeling that this was indeed the right method.
After going in, Yu Kuang and He Mingjie slowly placed the desks into the pool, watching the water cover the desk legs, desk underbelly, and finally just barely allowed a little bit of the surface to be exposed.
"It works, it works!"
Yu Xia’s eyes lit up and, like being injected with adrenaline, said, "Let’s go back and get ten or eight more desks over here!"
They executed the plan swiftly, and finally, despite their fears, moved half of the desks from the classroom in the dark.
Considering the time, they dragged the desks and ran, the noise of banging echoing in the container was quite loud to the ears.
This unexpected teamwork resulted in one person standing and placing down the second desk while another followed behind, handing over the third desk.
Carefully standing on the desk surface, each person’s motion of passing desks was unexpectedly quick.
Until the desks reached the wall, Song Xi shouted to those behind, "No more needed, we’re there!"
With the key inserted, those standing in a line in the pool eagerly watched for the door’s reaction.
The countdown beside was at four minutes and fifty-eight, fifty-seven, fifty-six, fifty...
"It’s open!!!"
"Woohoo!"
"We cleared it!!! Finally, we’ll see the light of day again!"
"Are we awesome or what?!"
Cheering, they moved forward one by one. Yu Xia suppressed her excitement, and when she reached the last desk, she placed her hand on Song Xi’s, climbed out with his help, and leaped off the small balcony outside!
She landed into a soft mat.
Rolling over, she looked up at the sky, catching her breath. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
It seemed to be late afternoon now, the sun setting, and the dusk just forming. She squinted her eyes, turned her head to look at Shu Ran and Wei Yaoyao who had fallen on the other side, and laughed loudly.
Once everyone had "escaped from hell," the two who were eliminated outside joined in, and everyone leaned together cheering.
The atmosphere was really infectious, even with sweat all over, they didn’t mind and decided to celebrate first.
An electronic voice followed from the escape room, sounding from somewhere, "The brothers who cleared the final level can earn nine points each to be used in subsequent spin-off programs. Congratulations on successfully escaping. The horror version escape room test run is normal, entering 2.0 evolution."
Whatever the specific time, many wouldn’t be in another game again.
The second episode of the indoor spin-off program ends here.
After sufficient rest, Yu Xia watched the brothers leave and walked out laughing and chatting with Shu Ran and the others.
This time, they genuinely bonded a lot. Not only did the brothers get more familiar with each other in the game, but their mentors did too.
After parting at the program base, Yu Xia got in the car and rushed home.
Filthy, mentally and physically exhausted, she planned to wash up, order takeout and rest in a cycle, tossing the phone aside and not noticing any incoming calls.
On the other side.
Program dormitory area.
Song Xi and the others ran back to the dormitory sweaty, rested and ate, and soon had to go back for extra practice in the rehearsal room.
When Wei Yaoyao returned, Ning Yunchao and Xie Qingci were in the dorm, one writing songs, the other lying slanted on the bed.
Hearing the noise, they both turned their heads to look at him.
Ning Yunchao asked, "Finished? What game did you play to be so excited?"
Xie Qingci casually asked, "Why did you bring back a decoration?"
Wei Yaoyao held up Mr. Zuoshan Diao, "It is not an ordinary decoration, it’s called Mr. Zuoshan Diao!"
Ning Yunchao, "...Are you kidding me? Bullying me because I’ve never seen what Diao looks like?"
Wei Yaoyao wiped his sweat, hugged Brother Diao inside, chugged half a bottle of water, and after taking a breath said, "Though it’s an eagle, Yu Xia named it Zuoshan Diao. Don’t be fooled by its common appearance; its interior is far from ordinary!"
Xie Qingci squinted his eyes to carefully examine the widely available soaring eagle decoration, unintentionally asking, "Why did Yu Xia give it a name, and how did it end up with you?"
"Heh, listen and you’ll know." Wei Yaoyao pressed a switch, which he’d figured out on his way back.
Once activated, a loud song filled the dormitory.
"With great pride and vigor! Crossing the Yalu River! To protect peace for the motherland! Is to protect the homeland!"
Ning Yunchao was startled, his hand trembled, and the notebook he was holding clattered to the floor.
Xie Qingci was silent for a moment, "Must be quite a story."
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have casually named a decoration. She used to say naming stuffed animals with cute names was a malicious act of selling cuteness.
Though, she did enjoy giving him nicknames.
Wei Yaoyao chuckled with delight, "This time the game was an escape room, the horror version. Brother Diao was quite helpful."
"An escape room, huh?" Ning Yunchao felt a bit envious.
Although Wei Yaoyao wasn’t supposed to go this time, he was called last minute by the program team to fill in, so he might already be getting flak from other fans.
Though, if a substitute was needed, Wei Yaoyao, who can play and speak but has no background, was the ideal choice.
Wei Yaoyao sensed what he wanted to say and waved his hand, "Yu Xia and Shu Ran said they appreciate my stand-in effort, and will let that brother have it for the next game."
Ning Yunchao didn’t say much else; he just considered the camera presence and remarked, "That’s great."
Xie Qingci kept his head down, lost in thought.
Wei Yaoyao properly placed Mr. Zuoshan Diao, packing his clothes to take a shower, and while picking up items, asked them, "Why are you guys in the dorm at this time? I thought you’d be in the rehearsal room."
Ning Yunchao said, "After practicing half-day, we’re taking a break. The teacher can teach in groups, it’s easier to learn with fewer people."
Xie Qingci murmured an "Mm" sound.
Ning Yunchao glanced at him.
This time they weren’t divided into groups, and they practiced in the same rehearsal room. Midway, the program called Xie Qingci out.
But it wasn’t his business and he wasn’t in the mood to meddle.
When Wei Yaoyao came out of the shower, Xie Qingci sat at the table fiddling idly with Mr. Zuoshan Diao.
It was cleaned, adjusting the song, now singing "Catching Loaches."
Having recently played the game, Wei Yaoyao was still reeling in residual scare, and hearing this song made him feel a bit eerie.
"No, no, no, change the song, this one’s a bit scary."
"Why is it scary? It’s a children’s song."
"Wow, you guys wouldn’t know, walking into a spooky broken classroom, hearing it sing ’Catching Loaches’ through a room was utterly hair-raising for us."
Xie Qingci stopped his fiddling, now appeared intrigued, "How scary? Tell me about it?"
He was all ears, and since Wei Yaoyao loved to talk, the three of them headed outside together, listening as they walked.
