The Queen’s Rise to the Top

Chapter 305

Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou were both scared to death, especially Lan Tianyou who had just crawled out of the coffin and had no idea what it was like outside. As soon as he took a look, there were so many names lined up in rows.

How many people had died?

Why were they put here?

Wow wow wow how scary!

Guan Liangzhe: "Do you think more people will crawl out of that coffin?"

Lan Tianyou: "Don't scare me, I just lay in there for over two hours."

Guan Liangzhe: "Didn't you feel the coffin moving?"

Lan Tianyou: "Ahhhhh! No!"

The two hugged each other while scaring themselves.

But soon they discovered, the coffin really moved!

It turned 90 degrees to the side, rotating entirely!

Guan Liangzhe: "Ohhhhh!"

Lan Tianyou: "Ahhhhhh!"

It was time for the two useless boys' piercing screams, yet another tenor singing competition.

After the coffin turned 90 degrees, the two then saw a person emerging from the bottom.

The movements were mechanical, like those of a very stiff zombie.

So the two continued screaming!

But while screaming, Lan Tianyou recognized the person.

Lan Tianyou: "Huh?"

With the red veil and red bridal gown, wasn't this the bride?

The two had chatted through the coffin earlier!

Seeing Lan Tianyou's reaction, Guan Liangzhe freaked out: "How can you not be scared? She crawled out from under the coffin!"

The bride in red was crawling indeed, crawling towards the two even.

Due to her stiff movements, her red veil slid sideways, revealing her ghastly pale face underneath!

Guan Liangzhe: "Ohhh!"

Lan Tianyou: "Ah! Mom! Why did you put makeup on like this again? Please don't make yourself up this way!"

Guan Liangzhe: "???"

What are you talking about little brother Lan?

But soon Guan Liangzhe also noticed something odd. He shouted excitedly: "Zhu Sha!"

Zhu Sha almost broke character at this point, but she still tried hard to stay in character, crawling forward stiffly.

Guan Liangzhe: "Zhu Sha what's going on with you Zhu Sha?"

Lan Tianyou: "Ahhhh? Is she dead?"

While asking hesitantly, the two shrank back.

Zhu Sha stretched out her hand, speaking mechanically: "You, marry for me."

Lan Tianyou: "!!!"

Guan Liangzhe: "Okay okay, little Lan go on!"

Zhu Sha: "You, promised?"

Lan Tianyou: "I didn't!"

Guan Liangzhe: "He promised, he promised."

............

On the other end, Nan Xiangwan and Gu Beihuai were still looking for clues on the first floor.

The program team had become more and more crafty, with 90% of things being red herrings and very few real clues.

Moreover, the room was not big, yet they couldn't find a path to the second floor.

Gu Beihuai examined the ceiling inch by inch.

Nan Xiangwan: "What's on the ceiling?"

Gu Beihuai: "No stairs, so there must be an elevator."

Nan Xiangwan: "Stop bothering, why don't we just climb up?"

Gu Beihuai was silent for a few seconds, then followed Nan Xiangwan out.

The two came to the yard, stared at the window on the second floor for a few glances, then started climbing with hands and feet!

Seeing this scene, the program staff immediately switched to chicken and dog chaos mode, panicking chaotically.

These two bugs had gone rogue again!

Shouldn't normal people carefully look for clues indoors, and wait for the storyline if they really can't find any?

But you two, climbing windows!

But since they'd already started climbing, it was too late to stop them. By the time the program crew wanted to rush out and call for them to stop, Nan Xiangwan had already reached the second floor window.

Gu Beihuai followed closely behind her and climbed to Nan Xiangwan's side with three or two steps.

The speed was so fast that no one could control them!

Eventually, the program team gave up.

Nan Xiangwan looked at the window in front of her and pushed, but it wouldn't open.

Gu Beihuai pulled the window and it opened.

So the two successfully arrived on the second floor like this!

The room on the second floor was not big either, looking like a study with a long table placed with stationery.

Seeing these items, Nan Xiangwan's head hurt. She circled to the chair behind the desk and sat down ignoring things.

Gu Beihuai checked for details one by one.

With the window wide open, Nan Xiangwan played with the brush on the table while enjoying the night breeze. But while playing, she called out in surprise.

Nan Xiangwan: "Oh?"

Gu Beihuai looked over: "What's up?"

Nan Xiangwan: "Outside!"

Gu Beihuai walked over to stand next to Nan Xiangwan and looked out the window from the same angle.

Instantly, he saw something different.

The moonlight outside cast a reflection down that from this angle perfectly landed in that well.

Nan Xiangwan slapped the table excitedly: "I said there was something wrong with that well! Let's go down!"

Gu Beihuai: "Can you hold your breath?"

Nan Xiangwan: "I can!"

Gu Beihuai: "Then let's go!"

After speaking, the two wanted to climb out the window and jump into the well.

At this point, the program team really had no alternative and director Hua Yuanwu rushed out to stop them in time.

The live stream audience laughed when they saw the director rushing out.

Hua Yuanwu: "That well is not it! Don't blindly guess you two! The reflection is a coincidence! A coincidence!"

Nan Xiangwan: "Aren't wells part of the storyline?"

Hua Yuanwu: "They are..."

Nan Xiangwan: "Then that's it, there's something wrong with that well! Let me go down!"

Hua Yuanwu: "It's just a plot point! The well is not needed for the exploration and decoding process! That water's so filthy who knows when it was last cleaned, hundreds of years ago probably! Can you spare me some worry?"

Nan Xiangwan: "Oh."

Gu Beihuai laughed on the side, then pulled Nan Xiangwan back.

Hua Yuanwu: "You two wait a moment, don't progress so quickly, we're not ready yet! You'll naturally enter the next stage when the timing is right!"

Nan Xiangwan: "???"

What does he mean, that their efforts are useless?

Hua Yuanwu didn't want to say more either. He shook his sleeves and left.

He felt bitter inside too. Mainly because things with Guan Liangzhe and Lan Tianyou still weren't going well, and the two sides were spending unequal time.

There was no choice but to have Nan Xiangwan and Gu Beihuai wait here for a while.

Gu Beihuai simply leaned against the wall: "Let's wait, they probably didn't design a decoding route for us at all."

If there was one, they would've cracked it long ago.

Nan Xiangwan rolled her eyes, then went back to playing with the brush on the desk.

Comments:

I'm really seeing the director rushing out to stop the guests for the first time, haha!

These two are definitely Bugs! But I also feel like there's something wrong with that well!

Normal people would all think there's something wrong with the well, but the director's team was probably worried about accidents and didn't mess with that well.

Did you guys hear the conversation just now? The director said that well hasn't been cleaned for hundreds of years...

Kinda scary, so this place is really an ancient house?

Oh my god! I've got goosebumps!

...

Amidst the audience's endless guesses, Nan Xiangwan heard a slight sound.

The wall next to her made some "ka ka" sounds. Then as if puzzle pieces opened up, a mechanism started and the walls retracted to both sides, revealing a door.

Gu Beihuai went up and took a look. There was a keyhole.

Find the key!

Nan Xiangwan also busied herself searching everywhere.

Watching the screen, Hua Yuanwu behind the scenes was a little nervous. It shouldn't be this fast right?

But the facts proved that as long as they were given a little clue, the Bug could crack it immediately!

Nan Xiangwan already had her fist up while Gu Beihuai was next to her, using the limited resources on site to piece together the key!
