Do You Still Hate Her? 36 – Escape Room [Completed]
“This is a secret passage, it’s a long story.” Shang Lu didn’t plan to go into detail with Ou Yi. Instead, she said directly, “You all squeeze to the side and let me and my cameraman out first.”
Ou Yi and his cameraman were very obedient, so they retreated and squeezed in opposite directions. Then, Shang Lu and her cameraman successfully climbed out.
Then, Shang Lu searched the room once again but didn’t find any more useful clues. She realized that what Xu Ze and Duan Anguo had given her was probably all there was. So, she prepared to go to the girls’ dormitory to look further.
However, before leaving, Shang Lu still glanced at Ou Yi.
Actually, she wanted to scare Ou Yi a bit. But seeing him trembling like that, she couldn’t help but feel that if she dared to do anything to him, he would probably pass out and need to be rushed to the hospital the next second.
So, Shang Lu chose to spare Ou Yi and even reminded him, “I’m leaving now. Just hide here, and if someone comes to capture you, open the passage and run inside.”
“Okay,” Ou Yi nodded vigorously and then closed his eyes to continue chanting, “Prosperity, Democracy, Civility, Harmony…”
Shang Lu looked at the yellow talisman in Ou Yi’s hand and the pile of protective items he held in his arms. She couldn’t help but feel curious and asked, “I’m sorry to interrupt, but you’re holding these protective items, yet you’re chanting the Core Socialist Values. Do you really believe in them or not? If these items were originally effective, what will you do if your chant made them ineffective?”
Ou Yi was stunned, thinking that what Shang Lu said made sense.
After a few seconds of contemplation, he chose, “I… I believe it. So what should I do?”
“Let me think,” Shang Lu’s brain spun, and she said, “You should chant something like ‘Keep away evil spirits and monsters’ or whatever you believe in the most.”
Shen Lu was referring to the ‘Diamond Sutra’ that Ou Yi was holding in his arms.
After saying that, she waved her hand and helped Ou Yi close the wardrobe door, “I’m leaving.”
After Shang Lu left, the room remained quiet for a long time.
Ou Yi’s expression became serious.
What does he believe in the most? He knows now.
On the other side, Shang Lu successfully reached the girls’ dormitory.
Here, she found more things.
Contraceptives, pregnancy tests, and brand new medical urine bags.
There was another diary, but the contents in it seemed even more mysterious than the boys’ dormitory.
【My name is Xiaofang, my dad sent me to this school hoping I could become a normal person】
【Am I not normal? I just cry too much. Mom and Dad’s work isn’t going well, they say they get annoyed when they see me at home】
【I became the class monitor, the teacher asked me to go to the office at noon to help him correct homework, but because I miscalculated the scores, so I had to be punished】
【I’m so afraid of pain, I cried a lot, but the teacher didn’t scold me, instead, he seemed happier. He told me not to talk about this, he said I was the best-behaved child in the class, I was a good student, good students should listen to the teacher, there are rewards】
【The teacher asked me to bring Xiaomei to his office, why did Xiaomei hit me? Doesn’t she want to be a good student? It’s really strange】
【As long as I bring a few more classmates to the teacher’s office, I will succeed in my transformation and can go home】
The diary ends here.
Who is Xiaomei? Where is Xiaomei’s dormitory room?
Shang Lu continued to search and, sure enough, found a letter on another girl’s bed, oh no, it was a suicide invitation.
【Come to my dorm tonight, I’ve prepared enough sleeping pills, we can free ourselves together. Keep quiet, don’t let Xiaofang know, my dormitory is next to the water room, you can pretend to get water and come over, she won’t suspect.
——Xiaomei】
Xiaomei’s dormitory is next to the water room. After getting this information, Shang Lu immediately set out to find the water room.
When she arrived at Xiao Mei’s dormitory room, she found a familiar figure inside. Song Zeqian was also searching for something.
However, the moment Song Zeqian saw Shang Lu, he took a step back with the item in his hand and said directly, “You are the intern teacher, right? When Mu Chengyi was eliminated, you were the closest to him. Wang Hanfei asked everyone about your whereabouts, and his elimination should be related to you.”
“Yes,” Shang Lu admitted directly, then walked up and opened her bag. “I have a lot of clues here. I think we can share them together.”
Song Zeqian looked at Shang Lu with some suspicion.
Shang Lu directly said, “Let’s share our information evenly. If we don’t cooperate, neither of us will win.”
Song Zeqian asked directly, “Why should I trust you?”
“Our interests don’t conflict at all. I’m also part of Xiao Taoyan, so of course, I also hope you win,” Shang Lu looked at Song Zeqian very candidly, then took out the letter in her hand proactively, and said, “I’m done playing, feeling a bit tired. Let’s get it over with quickly.”
[Shang Lu : Tired of playing, ready to get off work, hahaha]
[Director Song, just trust her. With such sincere eyes looking at you, can you really bear to refuse?]
Song Zeqian did indeed believe her. He also took out the items in his hand. He had an ultrasound report, a miscarriage surgery record, and five death notices. These were for the four students in this dormitory and another female student who came here, as well as a USB drive.
When the USB drive was plugged into the computer, they quickly saw a video.
The five female students took sleeping pills together and cried together.
Then, there was a knocking sound at the door, but none of them went to open it.
Soon, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a female student in a black school uniform with several teachers walked in.
Her name tag read : Xiaofang.
Shang Lu recognized this girl at a glance, she was the one who asked for Ye Lu’s help in the restroom.
Several girls desperately wanted to escape but were held down by the teachers.
The video stopped.
And at this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared at the door, the shadow of a girl with long hair.
The dim and warm light inside the room suddenly became strangely bright, so bright that it was blinding to Shang Lu. She picked up the sunglasses that Song Zeqian had placed on the table and put them on herself.
Song Zeqian : “…”
A bit speechless.
[Shang Lu, you really have no manners]
[Director Song’s iconic sunglasses are gone, hahaha]
The lights flickered wildly, accompanied by special effects sounds of lightning and thunder from an unknown source. A girl appeared at the door, her clothes covered in blood and dripping wet, looking utterly disheveled.
In a very eerie posture, the girl crawled on the ground. Every time the light went out and came back on, she got closer to them, and her posture became more and more contorted.
Shang Lu kindly said to Song Zeqian, “If you’re scared, you can hide behind me.”
Song Zeqian : “…Don’t think of me the same way as Ou Yi and Ye Lu.”
[Hahaha, Director Song, why are you starting to mock others now?]
[But it’s hard to argue back]
The NPC playing the female ghost got closer and closer, almost performing right in front of their faces.
The two cameramen were so scared that their hands were shaking, but Shang Lu and Song Zeqian remained motionless, showing no reaction to the ghost’s performance.
After a while.
Shang Lu expressed concern, “Your hair got into your mouth, spit it out, and be careful, you shouldn’t swallow the fake blood on it, right?”
Song Zeqian commented, “The acting was quite good at first, and the eerie feeling and atmosphere were well-established. But when you’re in front of us, how come it doesn’t look like a ghost but more like a monkey?”
The female ghost stopped her actions of scaring them, feeling suddenly helpless, like a student who had failed an exam.
Because in front of her were two people, one concerned about her well-being, and one critiquing her acting.
[Lulu, you’re really kind, you even care about the female ghost, you’re such a good kid.]
[Director Song, are you not satisfied with just critiquing the actors’ performances? Now you’re evaluating NPCs too, huh? Hahaha]
[Female Ghost : These two are really strange.]
🤣🤣🤣 I now want to watch the episode from Song Zeqian’s live broadcast 🤣 It won’t be a horror show but live commentary about NPC acting
