DTBS - Chapter 66
Chapter 66: Bouncing Around
【Hahahahaha, save me, I never expected it to go this way】
【This is what you call having the intention and the guts of a thief, but not the skill hahahaha】
【Sea King Qiu's persona collapsing live (dog head)】
Qin Qingshang lay on the bed, listening to Tao Qiuyun outside shout "Wife, I love you" again (this time adding "ah"), but the shield still didn't move.
Isn't this ridiculous enough to end up in the Bilibili meme section?
To prevent Tao Qiuyun from doing anything else strange (but cute), she also raised her voice and shouted, "Qiuqiu! In the broadcast just now, there was a pause in the middle of each sentence. You should only need to shout one of the sentences."
Why shout Qiuqiu? Because she couldn't shout CEO Tao! Shouting Qiuyi felt awkward, so it was better to compromise and shout Qiuqiu... This was very reasonable!
【No, is shouting Qiuqiu really that smooth?】
【Sister Qin, something's not right with you】
【Save me, my Sister wouldn't like a fool, would she?】
【Hahahahaha, save me, how can Sister Qiu be considered a fool? At most, she's...】
【Goofy Sea King (serious)】
【I think this Qiuyi's voice sounds a bit familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard it】
Tao Qiuyun heard Qin Qingshang's voice. She looked at the TV screen in front of her again and suddenly fell silent.
What she said made sense, but... why write it like that?
Isn't this easily misleading? Couldn't they write it more clearly or skillfully use the word "or"!
If this were at Chunjin, the review office would have sent back such ambiguous documents long ago!
CEO Tao was very angry.
But the production team wasn't her subordinate, so she could only swallow her frustration and shout towards Qin Qingshang, "Wife, I love you!"
If it still didn't open, she would go down and smash this broken shield!
They say third time's the charm, and this was the third time she had shouted.
Fortunately, the shield successfully unlocked, and the last guest was finally free to move.
As soon as Qin Qingshang looked up, her eyes met Tao Qiuyun's, who was peeking down from the top, only her head visible...
She looked like a small animal quietly poking its head out to observe the situation.
Qin Qingshang felt she looked adorable, so her voice unconsciously carried a hint of a smile as she waved, "Thank you, Qiuqiu~"
"You're welcome, it's what I should do." Tao Qiuyun slightly turned her head, avoiding their gaze, her ears feeling a bit warm.
Suddenly, she remembered something and turned to look at the TV, only to find the screen hadn't changed. She had to repeat what the cloaked figure had just said.
"So we've been kidnapped?" Qin Qingshang looked around and found there were many things in the room. "We need to escape this place, right?"
After speaking, she looked up at Tao Qiuyun, "Are you coming down? I'll push the bed over to catch you."
"No need, I suspect this is a two-person escape room," Tao Qiuyun looked at the layout below. "The things in our rooms are different, but there's one common point: the size of your room is the same as mine, both are smaller than our previous room."
"That means there's a hidden passage," Qin Qingshang followed her train of thought. "If the things are different, does that mean we might need things from the other side to solve the puzzles?"
The woman frowned, "But once you come down, it'll be hard to get back up. If you need something from my side, won't I have to just throw it to you?"
"That means the things I need won't be too heavy," Tao Qiuyun looked at her. "We only have two hours. We've already wasted a bit of time. Now we need to get straight to the point."
She paused, then continued, "You explore your room first, and I'll go back to mine. First, pay attention to anything related to puzzles or locks... This ventilation duct is very long, crawling back and forth is too time-consuming, and sound doesn't travel well, it's hard to hear clearly. How to communicate is the biggest problem. I have a timer on my side. Do you need me to come over periodically to ask about your situation?"
"Wait, we can do this!" Qin Qingshang noticed something under the counter. She bent down and held up a ball of red yarn. "This looks quite long. Let's use this to communicate. When I need you, I'll pull this end of the string, and you'll know."
After saying that, she felt a little embarrassed, "However, if you need something from my side, I guess you'll have to go through the trouble of crawling through the ventilation duct."
After all, she really couldn't get up to that opening in the ceiling from her side.
"Okay, throw it to me. I'll tie it to my wrist. When you need me, just pull hard three times, and I'll come over."
"I'll tie it first," Qin Qingshang said as she tied the red thread to her wrist, making sure it wouldn't come loose. Then she threw the ball of yarn to Tao Qiuyun. "Let's first ensure the maximum range of movement. After you get over there, pull the string hard three times to let me know you're in position, then I'll confirm my position, and finally, you confirm your range of movement and tie the red string."
"You can pull the string three times rhythmically every ten minutes to give me a time reminder."
"Okay." Tao Qiuyun nodded and caught the ball of yarn the Cat threw to her.
【Save me, I suddenly feel they are so serious, like a real little couple escaping for their lives】
【Is this really their first day meeting? They interact so naturally】
【Hahahaha, don't forget, they were the couple who committed suicide together in Werewolf】
【Laughing to death, they should be former lovers, right? I saved you out of old affection, but you turned around and killed me】
Tao Qiuyun took the red string and retreated back into her room. After all, it was impossible to turn around in the passage, and going back and forth was really physically demanding. After confirming the range for both sides, she tied the red string to her wrist.
That bright red stood out particularly on her fair skin, and the woman paused slightly...
Their interaction just now was very natural, as if they had cast aside all external information. She wasn't the CEO, Qin Qingshang wasn't a celebrity, and they weren't even bound by that marriage agreement. They were just communicating in the simplest, purest way...
It turned out that being oneself without any constraints, chatting with the person you like in your most authentic form, was so easy and pleasant.
While reviewing their conversation, Tao Qiuyun explored her room, hoping to remember everything inside so that when Qin Qingshang needed something, she could immediately think of the corresponding clue.
【Save me, is this really not a script? How can Sea King Qiu get the answer just by looking?】
【I'm still looking at the comparison chart, but she's already started operating directly】
【Hahahaha, go look at Qin Qingshang next door, her puzzle-solving speed is also very fast】
【Sister Qin is really hilarious, she couldn't open that box, but seeing it was plastic, she just smashed it for the production team】
【The little couple is escaping for their lives, hope the production team understands】
The production team in the observation room: You're something else! Next time I'll make it iron, let's see you smash that!
The red string was pulled rhythmically. Tao Qiuyun instantly stopped working on the password, turned around, picked up the small bag, walked towards the ventilation duct, and crawled forward.
【I suddenly remembered, the amateurs' professions haven't been announced, right? Could this be another trick by the production team?】
【Sea King Qiu must be from the math department, right? She's so sensitive to numbers, and she looks so goofy in love. I bet she's a math department beast】
【Beast?】
【(Wiping sweat) Typo, origin, damn input method】
【Don't slander the math department, math students aren't like this. I think she's... an athlete!】
【Athletes aren't like this either (roaring)】
The bullet comments went off-topic, but the two guests on site were seriously solving the puzzles.
"Miss Qin," Tao Qiuyun held up the small bag, "I found some things that might be needed on your side. Do you want to take a look first?"
She threw the small bag onto the bed. Qin Qingshang started rummaging through it and indeed found several things she needed...
Like that key, but unfortunately, she had already smashed it open violently.
The Cat pretended to be innocent and nodded at her, "They are all very useful, Qiuqiu. Is there anything you need on your side?"
"Yes," Tao Qiuyun nodded. She gestured in the air, "I need some movie-related cards. I didn't find them in my room. Do you have them?"
"Yes!" Qin Qingshang immediately walked to the small box and picked up a stack of cards. "I found a lot! As expected, you need them on your side?"
After saying that, she thought for a few more seconds, "Do you know much about movies? Is your puzzle related to movies?"
But Tao Qiuyun didn't seem to watch TV much.
The Cat was worried and proactively offered help, "Do you need me to help you think?"
"Very much needed," the woman lying above nodded and rattled off a bunch of movie titles in one breath, "Fifteen movies, only four are correct. Can you help me think? Which four have something in common?"
Seeing Qin Qingshang arrange the cards one by one, Tao Qiuyun pursed her lips and continued, "I tried seeing if they were related to numbers or colors, but it didn't seem right. As for directors and actors, I'm actually not very familiar."
She said it subtly. She wasn't just "not very familiar," she didn't know them at all!
Fifteen?
The Cat thought... Suddenly, a light bulb went off.
"I know!" Qin Qingshang was very happy and quickly picked out four cards. "It must be these four. There are exactly fifteen movies here directed by He Zhiwei, but only these four are his New Year's films released during the Spring Festival."
The Cat put these four cards separately in the inner pocket of the small bag, then put the other cards in as well, and looked up, "Do you need anything else?"
"Not for now." Tao Qiuyun smiled. She was almost finished on her side.
Returning to her room, she placed the cards given by Qin Cat, and the mechanism indeed activated, revealing a strangely shaped key that matched the room door lock.
Just as Tao Qiuyun was about to grab the key, a line of text suddenly appeared on the screen in front of her:
【Hehe, congratulations on opening the death switch next door. Now watch the person you love most die because of your desperate desire to survive!】
The red words on the screen seemed to mock her:
Did you really think I would let both of you go?
The woman's gaze instantly froze. She immediately understood why the other side needed many things from her, but she only needed one thing from the other side.
Logically, if they were helping each other, the amount needed shouldn't be too different. Yet, the number of puzzles on her side was far less than on Qin Qingshang's side...
Was this actually a trap?
Your girlfriend gave you the things you needed to save you, but just as the mechanism on your side activated and you were about to escape, the person behind the scenes suddenly told you:
You were tricked! How do you feel now, watching the girlfriend who deeply loves you die because of you, completely unaware?
Tao Qiuyun's breathing quickened. She yanked the key, swiftly leaped over several obstacles, and rushed towards the ventilation duct, immediately lying down.
Her movements were clean and decisive, leaving the bullet comments stunned:
【I believe she's an athlete now. That pounce speed, doesn't it hurt?】
【Wuwuwu, she loves her so much, she pounced over】
【Hahahaha, did Sea King Qiu forget this is a game? It's fake】
【Ah, what? It's fake? I was getting nervous until you reminded me!】
【Quick, quick, quick! Save Sister Qin, water is really spraying like crazy over there】
When Tao Qiuyun reached the exit, her clothes were a bit disheveled from her vigorous movements. However, when she saw Qin Qingshang completely soaked from the spraying water, she completely disregarded her poor image and immediately leaped down from above, using the bookshelf for leverage, landing smoothly on the ground like a cat.
"Qiuqiu?" Qin Qingshang was shocked, then while dodging the spraying water, she said, "I don't know if I did something wrong, but water suddenly started spraying, and I've almost solved all the puzzles, but I don't have the clue to open the door, I can't find the key."
"It's okay." Tao Qiuyun's tone always softened unconsciously when she spoke to her.
The woman walked up to her, reached out and removed the glasses that were covered in water droplets and obstructing her vision, her gaze gentle, "I'll take you to escape together."
Their eyes met, neither of them looking away...
The little deer in the Cat's heart started bouncing around again.
