The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 334

Danmu——

:Have you guys held hands today?

:Dammit! Just got back from an argument on Weibo, and now you two are at it again!

:When will this end! When will this end ahhhhhh!

:The CP fans of Nan Wang and Bei Di are passing by high and mighty, yay yay yay!

......

Nan Xiangwan pulled Gu Beihuai along, searching everywhere, while the two were completely oblivious to the online frenzy they were causing.

One was immersed in a horror game, the other measuring the length and circumference of their baby's fingers.

Both had their minds elsewhere, appearing perfectly calm.

Nan Xiangwan: "What exactly are we looking for? We don't even have a direction!"

Gu Beihuai stroked the baby's fingertips: "Your ring finger circumference is 65 mm, Chinese size 25..."

Nan Xiangwan: "What are you talking about?"

Gu Beihuai: "The middle finger circumference is..."

The ring finger was too early, let's start with the middle finger.

It was close, less than a month and a half until she turned 18.

Nan Xiangwan: "???"

She was utterly confused, what was the connection?

Backstage, director Hua Yuanwu was speechless. Good lord, reporting her finger sizes was basically announcing it to the whole world, Gu Beihuai!

The staff shrieked again, some slammed their keyboards, some tore paper into pieces and threw it into the air, and some even played the wedding song "Welcoming the Bride" on a suona horn they produced out of nowhere.

At this time, Xiao Dong was awake now too. She stood by the side with a stern look on her face.

As for the danmu comments:

Haha!

The screen was filled with furious verbal battles, more intense than ever before!

The previous coincidences could still slide, but Gu Beihuai, what do you mean by suddenly reporting her ring and middle finger circumferences?!

You've lost your mind!

The CP fans reacted differently though. They immediately looked up information and listed a bunch of jewelry brands, from high-end to top-tier custom pieces, but still felt nothing was good enough.

Let's just buy her a raw diamond!

This is huge!

What's the largest diamond in the world?

Gotta search, hurry and find this information!

No matter the price or location, we need to buy it for Gu Beihuai!

Nan Wang and Bei Di's fans squealed while the anti-fans angrily chased after them.

......

On the other side, Guan Liangzhe, Yun Qian and Zhou Wenxia carefully shuffled forward, with Zhou Wenxia walking in front and the other two following her.

They had already searched the rooms with no discoveries, so only the other unopened door remained.

The three held their breaths as Zhou Wenxia slowly opened the door. Surprisingly it was unlocked and could be directly pushed open.

After entering, Guan Liangzhe swiftly turned on the lights and shut the door.

But the sight before them made their hairs stand on end!

This was an altar room!

Yun Qian: "Teacher Guan, should we keep the door open instead?"

Guan Liangzhe silently opened the door again: "Scared me half to death."

Zhou Wenxia: "So, are we supposed to worship something?"

Yun Qian: "Either way, worshipping should be safe."

As Zhou Wenxia and Yun Qian still remained relatively calm, they simply bowed three times quickly.

But Guan Liangzhe went overboard. He directly knelt and kowtowed!

While kowtowing, he kept mumbling, "No offense intended, no offense intended. Elders, no, esteemed masters, please spare us, spare us!"

Yun Qian: "..."

Zhou Wenxia: "..."

After paying their respects, the offerings table suddenly began shaking violently, spilling fruits and candles everywhere.

Guan Liangzhe: "Waah! Here it comes! Waah waah!"

In their shock afterwards, a head suddenly materialized above the vibrating table, seemingly out of thin air.

Yun Qian: "Ah!"

Zhou Wenxia: "Holy crap! What is that?!"

At this point, Guan Liangzhe was no longer afraid: "Oh don't worry, just a hologram."

He had seen such tricks before.

Yun Qian: "Unbelievable!"

Zhou Wenxia: "Some big budget production!"

The holographic head first showed horrifying images of bleeding, then crying mournfully, and finally spat out a series of numbers.

Guan Liangzhe: "Write it down, hurry hurry!"

Yun Qian: "Got it, got it!"

Zhou Wenxia: "267567, but what's it used for?"

Soon after, the hologram disappeared. With a clicking sound, a hidden compartment emerged from the offerings table.

Guan Liangzhe: "A passcode lock! It's asking for a passcode!"

Yun Qian: "Stay calm, don't panic."

Zhou Wenxia input the code but it was incorrect.

Guan Liangzhe: "Um..."

Yun Qian: "Could it be for the code on their side? An exchange?"

Zhou Wenxia: "That's it! The clues intersect! Let's go!"

Without another word, the two women hurried back, dragging the unwilling Guan Liangzhe with them. He adamantly refused to return, too terrified of the corpses back there.

Eventually it was Yun Qian and Zhou Wenxia half dragging, half lugging him along at an extremely slow pace.

......

On Nan Xiangwan's side, they had also found a clue after circling around a second time.

Another string of numbers.

After jotting it down, she pulled Gu Beihuai along back towards the main hall.

Danmu——

:Gu Beihuai! You discovered that code way earlier! Why didn't you say so! Just wanted Nan Xiangwan to pull you around in circles huh!

:Humph, making our Nan Xiangwan hold your hand so tightly, enjoying it aren't ya Gu Beihuai!

:I'm immediately dropping out as a Gu Beihuai fan! Are the diehard fans recruiting?

:????

:Hurry tell me, where are the diehard fans gathering? I can't stand this anymore, I must go to battle!

:Sisters calm down! Stalking and harassment is never justified!

:Don't try to dissuade me. I'm purely against this ship! But he's being too proactive, we Beihuai fans can hardly hold our ground. I'm switching to join the diehard legions against CP fans!

:Welcome sister! We diehard fans embrace you!

......

By the time they returned to the transparent electronic screen in the main hall, Lan Tianyou was nearly in tears. He stood alone shining a flashlight, not moving a muscle for the longest time.

While the corpses on the other side stared right at him!

So terrifying!

Seeing Lan Tianyou on the verge of breakdown, Nan Xiangwan suddenly felt like teasing him a little. She abruptly halted her footsteps.

Gu Beihuai just continued getting pulled along by her, he wasn't about to move unless she did.

So the two stopped right where they were.

Lan Tianyou: "Hey you two, come over already! I'm scared to death here!"

Nan Xiangwan: "But how? There's no path."

Lan Tianyou looked down. Although it was very dim, his flashlight illuminated enough to see a wide open space around them. What did she mean no path?

What are you talking about?

Nan Xiangwan: "Can't you ask them to make way? We can't squeeze through with so many people crammed in already."

Lan Tianyou: "???"

Nan Xiangwan: "Why are there so many people? Where did they come from? Oh, you can't see them, Lan Tianyou?"

Lan Tianyou: "!!!"

As Nan Xiangwan spoke, she even made a gesture of tapping the air: "Yo bros, let us through please?"

Lan Tianyou: "Ahhhhh!"

Scared to tears! What on earth!

In his fright, Lan Tianyou instantly threw away his red light and started frantically running in circles, as if chased by wild dogs.

Nan Xiangwan: "Hahaha!"

Gu Beihuai: "Naughty girl."

With Lan Tianyou running off like that, the red light no longer shone on the glass to restrain the corpse NPCs. Freed from their paralysis, they swiftly began creeping through the darkness towards Guan Liangzhe's team.

Soon, terrified screams echoed from that side as well, both sides plunged into utter chaos and piercing shrieks resounded throughout the escape room.
