He Jing sneered in her heart. This statement sounded like a defense for her, but they were actually adding fuel to the fire.

Instantly, the players’ reactions became even more intense.

“Doesn’t act this way usually, but at crucial times, acts like this. How good at pretending must she be?”

“She looks pretty, but her character is unexpectedly lousy.”

“Thinking that we have to share the clues with her later makes me uncomfortable.”

“I don’t want to play anymore. It’s so disgusting.”

Yan Hanxi’s smile gradually turned cold. He stared at Cheng Yi coldly, which made Cheng Yi’s heart tremble. His scalp went numb as she said, “Yan…

Student Yan, what’s wrong?”

Yan Hanxi felt a tug on his sleeve from the person next to him, and his anger instantly dissipated. He said lazily, “Nothing,” and then looked at He Jing.

He Jing, who was being criticized by everyone, had a cold expression on her face. It was as if all voices were unnecessary noise in her ears, and responding to a word was a waste of her life.

She handed him a playing card and pointed at the pattern on the back of the card. Yan Hanxi glanced at it and suddenly smiled.

He looked at her with admiration and immediately understood why He Jing could be so calm. Instead of playing with words and tactics, she might as well focus on solving puzzles.

When the time came, if she was the first to crack the password, wouldn’t it be more effective than a verbal counterattack?

Look, they had found one of the supporting clues.

Next, they just needed to find other clues.

The tense atmosphere between the two of them made Cheng Yi somewhat uncomfortable. She really wanted to know what kind of riddles they were playing, but her intelligence wasn’t enough to guess.

Seeing that He Jing completely ignored them, the other players ridiculed her for a while but then stopped. After all, their most important task at the moment was to solve the puzzle, not to bicker.

Hence, they continued to collect poker cards.

In the dimly lit room, the prop clock on the wall ticked, indicating the passing of time.

The entire room fell eerily quiet. The players were categorizing the playing cards according to their points, a massive task that left no room for conversation. Meanwhile, He Jing and Yan Hanxi were still in the corner of the room, fiddling with something.

Chen Yu had an inexplicable sense of crisis. His attention was constantly attracted to these two people, but he didn’t quite believe that they could decode the password faster than him.

He was the top scorer in the college entrance examination. His usual hobbies were reading detective novels, movies, and detective collections. He rarely failed in the escape room.

Suddenly, Cheng Yi exclaimed in excitement, “Ah! I found a pattern.”

Chen Yu quickly put down the cards in his hand and went over. He saw Cheng Yi drawing out a red joker from the deck and showing it to him. “The pattern on the back of this card is different from the others.’

All the cards had blue vines entwining, but this one, right in the center of the vines, had an inconspicuous rose.

As expected, collecting poker cards to find patterns wasn’t wrong.

Chen Yu finally understood a bit and smiled, saying, “This is the first digit of the password.”

Cheng Yi was both excited and puzzled. She couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”

Chen Yu explained, “The name of this secret room is ‘The Advent of Doomsday.’ The story is about General Saul betraying his country and leading the people of other planets to occupy his own planet. On that day, the roses that represented hope and life in the king’s palace burned overnight. The date is July 3rd, 699 AD, so the first digit of the password is 3..”
