After saying that, he said softly to He Jing, “Let’s go.”
He Jing glanced at Cheng Yi’s unwilling expression, found it somewhat amusing, and followed him into the secret room.
Cheng Yi clenched her fists, and the jealousy and resentment in her eyes surged even more. After a while, she suppressed this malicious intent and turned to Chen Yu with a gentle smile. “Brother Chen Yu, let’s go in too.”
Chen Yu withdrew his gaze that had involuntarily followed He Jing and silently went in with her.
Secret Room 07 was a themed around futuristic science fiction secret room. There were sophisticated instruments everywhere.
However, 90% of the instruments were props and couldn’t be moved. Only 10% could be picked up and played with, but they seemed to serve no purpose.
The ten people, divided into five teams, came to an empty room. The room was completely dark, and a beam of light descended from the sky, illuminating a transparent display cabinet. The cabinet was locked, and there was a soft cloth bag inside. On the cloth bag was a small chip about the size of a thumb. It was obvious that this was the focus of their research for this escape.
“It looks so difficult!”
Some players couldn’t help but sigh.
The entire room gave off a feeling that it wasn’t suitable for those with insufficient intelligence.
Cheng Yi tugged at Chen Yu’s sleeve, pretended to be nervous, and asked,
“Brother Chen Yu, can we solve the puzzle smoothly?”
Chen Yu said, “It’s fine, it won’t be very difficult. Don’t be afraid with me around.”
Cheng Yi felt relieved and said sweetly, “Then Brother Chen Yu, you can do it!”
Chen Yu immediately walked up to the display cabinet and saw that the lock of the display case was a four-digit smart password lock. It was impossible to try it out with each digit one by one.
So, they had to figure out a way to crack the password.
As he thought about it, he couldn’t help but look at He Jing. He had heard from
Cheng Yi that He Jing was very capable and had become the leader of the team with her developed intellect. He thought, “Where would she start?”
However, He Jing had no intention of cracking the password. She walked around the room until Yan Hanxi picked up a poker card from the ground. He said gently, “Come and take a look.”
He Jing quickly walked towards Yan Hanxi.
Yan Hanxi held an Ace of Spades in his hand. It was just like any other poker card, nothing special.
In addition, there was a pile of poker cards scattered on the ground, in complete disorder.
Before He Jing could say anything, Cheng Yi exclaimed with excitement, preemptively saying, “Looks like the password has something to do with these poker cards. We can look for clues on the poker cards.”
The other players were speechless.
They thought, “Wasn’t this nonsense?”
Chen Yu also felt that this statement was a bit redundant. He frowned and ordered, “Xiao Yi, take a flashlight and shine it on the ground. See if there are any other poker cards on the ground?”
Cheng Yi quickly did as she was told. The entire floor of the room was covered with poker cards. There were at least a few thousand of them.
He Jing supported her chin and fell into deep thought. After a while, she looked up and asked, “Do you know how to play poker?”
Yan Hanxi tossed the poker card held between his fingers aside. His thin lips curved slightly and he smiled. “Me? I don’t drink or smoke, nor do I dabble in prostitution, gambling, and drugs. I’m a good youth in all aspects.”
He Jing was speechless. “I didn’t ask you to introduce yourself.”
Moreover, it wasn’t a good thing to say that he didn’t know how to gamble at this time.
Yan Hanxi straightforwardly said, “No.”
He Jing was speechless again. She thought, “Forget it.”
“Let’s look for other clues.’
It wasn’t enough to rely on poker cards alone.
Yan Hanxi suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled them closer to each other. He lowered his head and said slowly, “I don’t know how to play poker, but I still understand poker knowledge… Do you want to hear it?”
