Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Why Must Fate Treat Him Like This?……

Jiang Tiao and Qi Yingyi fumbled around in the dark room for a long time, finally managing to decipher a code using braille to get a candle and a box of matches.

The moment the candle was lit, both of them were moved to tears. No wonder Prometheus, who stole fire, was called a hero!

Qi Yingyi: “What do we do now?”

Jiang Tiao thought for a moment: “Let’s try to find the others first.”

“Knock knock—knock—knock knock—”

The sound of something hitting the wall suddenly echoed in the dark room.

Jiang Tiao and Qi Yingyi, who were about to leave, froze simultaneously.

“Jiang Jiang Jiang Tiao, did you hear that?”

Jiang Tiao’s hands and feet went cold. He patted Qi Yingyi’s hand gripping his arm reassuringly: “It’s… it’s okay, I’m not scared, let’s quickly find the others!”

[Hahahaha what ghost is ‘I’m not scared,’ shouldn’t it be ‘Don’t be scared’?]

[Hahaha, he’s clearly scared to death himself, but he still habitually comforts someone more timid than him.]

[He’s not a bad guy!]

[Heh, he knows there’s a live broadcast, it’s just an act.]

[In this situation, subconsciously acting, isn’t that a kind of nature?]

[Ahhh, don’t go! That’s my brother, look at my brother! He looks helpless, he needs saving!]

[Brother, can you just say that you should let go of your baggage at this point! What’s the use of knocking, why don’t you call out! Sob, I’m dying of worry!]

Luo Xingwen was also helpless. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to call out to Jiang Tiao, but… tsk…

He was currently confined in a very, very narrow space, feeling like it was a gap between rooms. He was wrapped up like a cocoon with a large piece of cloth. Except for his eyes, no part of his body could move freely.

This setup clearly required the help of a companion to be rescued. He didn’t want to call out to Jiang Tiao, so he kept trying to recall, but by the time he heard them about to leave, he still couldn’t remember the name of the person he was confined with Jiang Tiao!

Why must fate treat him like this?

Must he bow his head today?

“Jiang, Tiao.”

Jiang Tiao paused and stopped Qi Yingyi: “Did you hear someone call my name?”

Qi Yingyi: “A ghost, a ghost? Trying to lure us to check and then scare us?”

“It’s me… Luo Xingwen…”

Qi Yingyi: “……”

Jiang Tiao: “……”

“I’m inside this wall, I need help to get out.”

Those few short sentences made Jiang Tiao hear a humiliation akin to crushing his teeth and swallowing the blood.

So, why do most companies not recommend office romances? Isn’t it for the psychological well-being of the employees? Look how awkward and frustrating it is.

Jiang Tiao held the candelabra and studied the wall he was being knocked on for a long time. In front of the wall was originally a European-style sofa, which he and Qi Yingyi had moved away together.

“Emmm……”

Luo Xingwen didn’t hear any movement for a long time. Hearing Jiang Tiao’s voice, he thought Jiang Tiao had a solution and quickly asked, “What did you think of?”

Jiang Tiao: “I was thinking how ingenious this secret room is.”

Luo Xingwen’s face turned black. He felt Jiang Tiao was deliberately toying with him! Deliberately wanting him to be in need of his help for a longer time!

Jiang Tiao tapped on the mural on the wall following the five-element sequence of gold generating water, and water generating wood. Before long, a hidden compartment popped out from the lower left, containing a password input device.

Qi Yingyi was stunned and couldn’t help but exclaim: “They really went all out, it’s indeed ingenious!”

The production team must have invested a lot.

Luo Xingwen, who couldn’t see anything: “……”

Curious, and a little anxious.

“What did you guys figure out?”

Jiang Tiao briefly explained the situation outside.

“The clues outside seem to be only these. Do you have any clues or hints inside?”

Luo Xingwen wanted to say that he was wrapped up like a silkworm now, it was pitch black, he couldn’t see anything, and he couldn’t move. What clues or hints could he possibly have?

No, wait, when he was listening to the movements outside by pressing his ear against the wall, he seemed to have felt some raised marks on the wall!

Luo Xingwen tried to roll over, moving inch by inch along the wall like a wriggling silkworm. With his hand through the cloth, he carefully felt the wall, laboriously discerning the clues carved on it.

[Hahaha, brother, where is your image, your temperament, your idol baggage?!]

[Hahaha, the production team is really, so lacking in virtue!]

“8, 18… 40, 70… 132?” Luo Xingwen became more and more uncertain as he felt, why are there so many numbers?

“How many digits is the password?”

Qi Yingyi: “Brother Jiang tried it just now, it’s only four digits.”

[What is this?]

[Do we need to find a pattern?]

[Oh my god, do we have to solve math problems to play a horror escape room?]

[Ahhh, director, tell me, are you just trying to keep my brother from getting out!!]

[Although my brother has won me over with his beauty and acting skills, I have to admit that in terms of math, my brother is really not good…]

[Yiyi… alas… please forgive your younger brother.]

[Will they get stuck here?]

[Where is Jiang Tiao? Why does he look like he’s deep in thought?]

[Heh, forget it. In the last variety show, he miscalculated multiplication of three-digit numbers three times. It’s better to expect a pig than to expect him.]

[I think anyone could figure it out, but it definitely won’t be Jiang Tiao.]

Jiang Tiao: “It’s the product of prime numbers and consecutive even numbers.”

Prime numbers, such a familiar term. What are prime numbers again?

Qi Yingyi silently closed his mouth. He’d better not ask, or he’d be trending again with ignorance.

Luo Xingwen did know what prime numbers were, but only those within ten. Others might be calculable, but there was no pen or paper here… He felt a bit desperate and started to recall if he had offended the director of this variety show at some point…

[Really, 8 is 24, 18 is 36…]

[But it needs to be four digits, how far do we have to calculate after this?]

[I just searched on Baidu, and we need to calculate at least ten numbers.]

[Oh my god, it’s over.]

Jiang Tiao crouched down and entered 1148.

The bullet comments were all stunned.

[This… he calculated it?]

[I haven’t even found the answer on Baidu yet!]

[Heh, showing off.]

[Does he think he’s quite handsome?]

[I bet ten yuan it won’t open.]

[I’ll follow up with a keyboard. If the door opens, I’ll live stream eating my keyboard.]

“Click—”

The wall opened outwards, revealing a gap wide enough for a person to pass through. Luo Xingwen, wrapped up like a caterpillar, his eyes widened—can one’s brain really become enlightened by being hit?

Newton really didn’t deceive me…
