When the three of them arrived at the escape room location, it was around 10 AM.

Huo Yueze's friends weren't particularly surprised that he had brought along another pretty young companion. Instead, they teased him about expanding his business as a professional escort.

As for Song Tianbai's identity, everyone simply assumed he was Ningning's friend.

This was Huo Guining's first time playing an escape room game, and she didn't quite understand the rules.

The theme of this escape room was magic-related. Probably because Huo Guining was there, everyone chose a less scary room to accommodate the young girl.

Once they entered, the ambient lighting and decorated dolls made Huo Guining exclaim with excitement.

"Brother, will ghosts suddenly jump out at us later?" Huo Guining asked eagerly.

Huo Yueze felt his scalp tingle: "Ningning, this is a puzzle-solving game, don't be too eager for that..."

Song Tianbai, dressed in magical attire, obediently followed behind the two, his expression unreadable.

As Huo Guining had anticipated, the group searched for clues everywhere, with NPCs popping up to make their presence known.

Some of Huo Yueze's classmates were easily frightened, screaming out loud.

Huo Guining, on the other hand, wore an expression of pure delight. Not only did she admire the NPCs' costumes, but she also had time to help everyone find clues.

Amidst all the commotion, the group finally reached the last level.

Here, the horror atmosphere was at its peak, with lighting, sound effects, and ghostly NPCs making everyone's hearts race.

Although Huo Yueze knew Huo Guining wouldn't be scared, he still held her hand tightly to prevent her from being jostled by panicked companions.

"Ahahahaha~"

The sudden amplified sound effect made everyone scream.

Even Huo Guining was startled.

Then, she felt someone grab the hem of her clothes.

It was Song Tianbai.

Huo Guining frowned but couldn't bring herself to shake off his hand.

After solving the final puzzle, the group was finally able to leave.

Huo Yueze, being tall, was assigned to retrieve a key from a high place.

Suddenly, a broken, blood-stained doll fell from the ceiling.

Huo Guining only caught a glimpse, but the screams behind her were deafening.

The group, who had maintained their composure until now, ran frantically towards the exit.

Huo Guining, momentarily distracted, was jostled about.

Song Tianbai, being slightly taller than her, shielded her from the front.

Huo Yueze fought against the crowd to find them, taking one in each hand and leading them out of the escape room.

Outside, the lighting was bright.

Recalling the muffled groan she had heard earlier, Huo Guining immediately began checking Song Tianbai for injuries.

"Did you get hurt just now?"

Song Tianbai shook his head, pressing his lips together: "I was bumped, but it's nothing."

He covered his arm, constantly trying to back away.
