The air in the empty room was filled with a faint wooden fragrance that made them unconsciously feel at ease. Xu Jiaojiao suddenly felt that Su Luo was actually a pretty decent love guru.
Qi Shenbai bent down and grabbed her wrist, pulling her up from the ground. âAre you scared?â
âIâm fine. I just got a shock when 1 jumped out.â Before Xu Jiaojiao could finish her sentence, Qi Shenbai crouched down and very naturally brushed the dust off her pants.
This escape room usually had good business and received many guests every day. They could not clean up every time, so there was inevitably a lot of dust on the floor. Xu Jiaojiaoâs pants were stained with dust.
Xu Jiaojiao did not see it herself, but he didâ¦
His clean and slender fingers landed on the bottom of her pants and brushed past them, but it felt as though he was running them across her heartstrings. The more he played, the more chaotic her heart became. The more chaotic her heart became, the more she indulged in it.
âSorry to disturb you.â The staff memberâs voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie in Xu Jiaojiaoâs hand.
Xu Jiaojiao suddenly remembered that there was an infrared camera here. Even if the lights were not on, the staff could see everything that they had just done. She could not help but blush. She watched as Qi Shenbai stood up and pretended to be calm as he pressed the call button. He asked gently, âIs something the matter?â
The staff on the other end of the walkie-talkie sounded helpless. âCould you⦠come to Room One?â
âWhat happened? Could it be my brotherâ¦?â Xu Jiaojiao sounded worried.
âThereâs no big problem at the moment. We just need you to come over and deal with it. Itâs best to be quick,â the staff explained over the walkie-talkie.
The door to the escape room was already open. Although there was a light, it could not do much in the dim environment. It was impossible to see what was inside.
Once Xu Jiao jiao came in, the staff member heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, âPerhaps heâs too afraid because of psychological reasons and canât hear us. Either way, heâs still holding onto our NPC tightly.â
Xu Jiaojiao was puzzled when she heard the staff memberâs explanation. Then, she saw Xu Zhengyang.
At this moment, Xu Zhengyang seemed to be clutching at an NPCâs thigh tightly, as though it was his only lifebuoy in the ocean. He simply refused to let go, mumbling, âIâm not afraid⦠Iâm not afraid at all! Let me tell you, your little tricks wonât scare me at allâ¦â
Although he said that he was not afraid, his body was very honest. He did not even dare to open his eyes.
It was hard on the young NPC. His face was filled with helplessness, and he seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Moreoverâ¦
Xu Zhengyang was pulling his pants down, and he was about to tug them right off!
Even though the young NPC was pulling up his pants with both hands, he could not stop them from falling. The NPC looked at Xu Jiaojiao and Qi Shenbai with tears in his eyes.
Xu Jiaojiao turned her head away from him. At this moment, she really wanted to say, âIâm sorry, I donât know him.â
âThis player has only been here for a short time. The NPC had just came out, but he was already so frightenedâ¦â The staff covered his face and held back his laughter. âWe really canât move him. I had no choice but to call you here.â
Xu Jiaojiao stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do when she saw Xu Zhengyang hugging the NPCâs thigh and wailing loudly. She felt⦠too embarrassed.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at Qi Shenbai, who was beside her. âUm⦠why donât you go and persuade him?â
In other words⦠âIâm too ashamed to go.â
âCough, cough.â Qi Shenbai coughed twice and said, âYouâre his sister, after all. 1â11 leave this to you.â
Xu Jiaojiao was speechless.
The staff, the NPC, and the others were all looking at her for help, especially the NPC. He was about to cry.
It seemed that she really had no choice.
âSigh, if I donât enter hell, who will? Here goes nothing.â
Xu Jiaojiao convinced herself. She walked over to Xu Zhengyangâs side and squatted down. Just as her palm touched his shoulderâ¦
âAll!!!â
Xu Zhengyangâs pig-like scream resounded through the sky and reverberated in the escape room for a long time.
Xu Jiaojiao was caught off guard and jumped in fright. Before she could say anything, she heard Xu Zhengyang chanting to himself.
Xu Zhengyangâs body was shaking like a sieve as he muttered under his breath, âBegone, ghosts! Begone, demons!â
âBrother? Are you alright? Iâm Jiaojiao, Iâm here to save you.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhengyangâs body stopped trembling. He slowly turned his head, and when he saw that it was Xu Jiaojiao, his empty eyes lit up as he hugged her.
âItâs so scary⦠Jiaojiao, do you have any idea how long the last few minutes have felt for me? You almost lost the brother who loves you the most in the world!â
