The 6 people were divided into 4 groups. Guan Liangzhe and Sha Ling formed group 1 as the weaklings. Lan Tianyou and Ge Dongxuan formed group 2 as the other weaklings. Nan Xiangwan was alone as the tank group. Gu Beihuai was alone as the brain group.
According to the characteristics of each group, the program team arranged different decryption processes.
The two weakling groups were facing horrifying scenes, with flashes of light coming through from time to time, allowing them to see the blood handprints in front clearly.
The 4 of them were scared and panicked!
It was different for Nan Xiangwan. The only escape route was a door, but it was hung with hundreds of locks!
They were all combination locks!
She had to decrypt and unlock the locks one by one in sequence to finally open the door.
It had to be said this was very targeted.
As for Gu Beihuai, the problem he faced was the most absurd. He didn't even have a door here at all!
The live studio audience along with him looked together but couldn't find an exit either.
Just how to get out aroused everyone's curiosity!
Next scene.
Gu Beihuai frantically looked for an exit with a decryption code in hand. Nan Xiangwan stared at the hundred plus locks and exploded on the spot.
Guan Liangzhe, Sha Ling, Lan Tianyou and Ge Dongxuan were screaming in their respective compartments!
The barrage instantly became very lively, with everyone laughing hard filling the screen with "hahaha".
Ge Dongxuan's high pitched female screams went on for a long time, then caused resonance in the walls.
Sha Ling in the next compartment keenly picked up on this sound, then went to the wall and knocked.
Knock knock! Knock knock knock!
Instantly, Ge Dongxuan's voice stopped.
Lan Tianyou: "What sound?"
Ge Dongxuan excitedly: "It's my teammate's secret code!"
Lan Tianyou: "Is it Nan Xiangwan?"
Ge Dongxuan: "No no, the temporary secret code between me and Sha Ling. We guessed we would be separated."
Lan Tianyou: "Is Sha Ling brave?"
Ge Dongxuan: "She hung on Nan Xiangwan with me last time."
Lan Tianyou: "..."
Ge Dongxuan found the wall connected to the next compartment and started knocking.
Knock knock! Knock knock knock!
Sha Ling excitedly shouted: "Ge Dongxuan?"
Ge Dongxuan: "Yes yes yes! You're next to me?"
Sha Ling: "Come save us quickly! I'm with Teacher Guan Liangzhe!"
Guan Liangzhe: "Ah! Ge Dongxuan? Help!"
Ge Dongxuan: "I can't save you, come save me!"
Lan Tianyou: "Me me me! We're here!"
Guan Liangzhe: "Little Lan? Ow!"
Lan Tianyou: "Brother Guan!"
Guan Liangzhe: "Little brother Lan!"
The 4 of them shouted desperately at a wall.
After shouting for half a day, what's the use? The door won't open by itself!
It could only make the audience laugh!
At this moment, the live studio footage switched to show a floor plan.
Turns out the 4 compartments were connected to each other, with the 2 weakling group compartments in the middle.
Nan Xiangwan was in compartment 1, connected to Guan Liangzhe and Sha Ling's compartment 2, Ge Dongxuan and Lan Tianyou were in compartment 3, connected to Gu Beihuai's compartment 4.
That meant Nan Xiangwan and Gu Beihuai were at the two ends of the 4 adjoining compartments.
The possibility of them working together was reduced to 0 by the program team!
The barrage laughed again, gloating.
As long as Nan Xiangwan and Gu Beihuai don't meet up, it's impossible for the first stage to end quickly.
At this time in compartment 1, Nan Xiangwan sat on the floor looking at the hundred plus combination locks, nearly tearing her hair out!
It was killing her. Even if she could find the passwords for the locks, she still had to try one by one which lock it corresponded to.
How many years would it take to unlock them all?
Was there another way to escape?
Nan Xiangwan used her night vision skill to carefully look around, and the answer was no in the end.
She could only unlock them one by one!
So Nan Xiangwan collapsed onto the floor, walls and ceiling to look.
After working hard for a long time, she only unlocked 3 locks.
There were 97 left!
My god!
Crazy!
As time passed second by second, Guan Liangzhe, Sha Ling, Lan Tianyou and Ge Dongxuan started squatting in corners of their respective compartments. The biggest obstacle for scaredy cats was taking the first step out of their psychological defense.
Finally Lan Tianyou stood up and said, "No, we have to try."
Ge Dongxuan looked at him admiringly, "Go Lan Tianyou!"
Lan Tianyou: "I'll go try squatting in another corner."
Ge Dongxuan: "..."
Lan Tianyou: "Really, there's ghosts, just haven't come out yet."
There would definitely be NPCs dressed up as ghosts, but why haven't they shown up for so long?
Was the program team kind today?
Very unlikely!
In the next compartment, Guan Liangzhe remained crouched without moving. Eventually Sha Ling stood up and started feeling the walls one by one.
Guan Liangzhe then came up with a guess, "Why do you think we're able to talk to the other side but not Nan Xiangwan and Gu Beihuai?"
Sha Ling: "I saw a flash of light just now saying our compartment here is number 2."
Guan Liangzhe got up and knocked on the wall.
He started shouting, "Little Lan! What number is your compartment?"
Lan Tianyou's voice came through quickly, "Number 3!"
Guan Liangzhe: "Knock on the opposite wall, we'll knock here too. Number 1 and 4 should be Nan Xiangwan and Gu Beihuai! Call them to come save us!"
Lan Tianyou admiringly said: "Okay! Brother Guan you're so smart!"
So the 2 groups of weaklings moved to the walls adjoining compartments 1 and 4 and started knocking.
But unfortunately, after knocking for a long time,
There was no response at all!
The live studio program team showed the floor plan again. When the audience saw it, they burst out laughing.
Indeed it was 4 adjoining compartments in a row.
But the wall between compartment 1 and 2 was empty, same for the wall between 3 and 4. That meant sound simply couldn't pass through.
Only compartments 2 and 3 could talk to each other.
The targeted nature of the program team's setup, details within details!
It eliminated any possibility of the 2 biggest loopholes getting assistance!
The barrage was filled with people laughing to tears. The 2 groups of weaklings gave up knocking and went back to squatting in the corners.
So what now? Just wait?
At this moment, Nan Xiangwan unlocked the 20th lock!
She found the trick. The password for the first lock was connected to the next ones.
As long as she found the first password, she just directly added 1 to it to get the next passwords.
And she had unlocked 3 locks previously. Finding the pattern now allowed her to unlock them all the way.
Click click click!
Just like that, with one breath, 20 locks were opened.
She continued right away. It was only a matter of time now.
Barrage —
: Nan Xiangwan's moment of glory!
: Did Nan Xiangwan's brain open up?
: Hahaha open up her brain! How amusing!
...
Nan Xiangwan opened 100 locks continuously here.
Snap!
The door opened.
She was actually the first to get through the first stage. Awesome!
Upon getting out, it was still pitch black. Nan Xiangwan quickly discovered the doors of the other two compartments.
Oh!
The doors had locks on them!
Nan Xiangwan leaned against the wall, face all scrunched up.
Annoyed enough to want to kick the wall!
Barrage —
: Laughing to death! So compartments 2 and 3 had to be unlocked from outside!
: Can't blame the 4 weaklings for being useless, because no matter how hard they tried it was useless hahaha!
: Too difficult! The entire decryption process was left to Nan Xiangwan alone?
: Nan Xiangwan online being irritable hahaha!
