Showbiz Escape

Chapter 71
Twelve players are queuing up to draw the silver fork, in order to decide who will be alone with Countess Kester after the banquet tonight.

Jiang Zhou is ranked No.9 in the team, and his teammates are standing in front of him, so the probability of winning the lottery will be slightly higher, which can at least reduce the risk and prevent him from being selected to the greatest extent.

Unexpectedly, just as Jiang Zhou himself said, he is really not very lucky in terms of luck. The first nine people have drawn out, and only the last three forks are left, and the fork with the mark is still not drawn.

He stood in front of the tray, hesitated for a few seconds, and then slowly stretched out his hand to the leftmost fork.

It was at this very moment that Wen Zhuo raised her eyes, and she keenly noticed that Mrs. Kester, who was sitting there, had an extremely imperceptible smile on her red lips.

She covered half of her face with her sleeve and coughed quickly.

"..."

Fortunately, Jiang Zhou is also a smart person, and he understood her hint.

His hand immediately changed direction halfway and picked up the right fork.

Mrs. Kester withdrew her smile. Although her expression didn't change much, she could still see a little disappointment.

When Jiang Zhou walked aside, Tang Chunen whispered to him quietly: "I feel that this lady has a crush on you. She originally hoped that you would be selected."

"You hope that I will be well."

"Aren't I reminding you? You try to minimize eye contact with her, so that she won't hit you."

"……Row."

At this moment, the penultimate female player drew a red mark on the fork. The female player looked very young and did not seem to have any experience. The hand holding the fork was even trembling. beyond words.

After all, as long as you are not a fool, you know what it means to be drawn.

Mrs. Kester got up from her seat, seemed to raise her hand to signal something to the housekeeper John, and left gracefully with her skirt.

The butler John smiled and said: "The rest of the guests, please go back to the room to rest by themselves, and don't go out at night at night—this beautiful lady, please follow me to change clothes."

Change clothes, why change clothes?

It's a pity that the female player didn't have any teammates, not even someone to talk to, so she was forcibly taken away.

She was pulled away, and although the remaining players escaped, it is conceivable that it is impossible for them to rest well.

Their mission here is not to rest. The quieter the night, the more they should try to find clues.

However, to what extent it can be completed depends on each individual's ability.

******
Although the butler reminded the player not to go out at will, but with a normal brain, you will understand that even if you try your best, you must go out.

Fortunately, the players were not forced to enter any room this time, and the door was not automatically locked, so Wen Zhuo, Ye Lingchuan, and Tang Chunen all went to Jiang Zhou's room, and the four of them got together to discuss plans.

As a result, before she could say a few words, Wen Zhuo heard footsteps coming from outside. She cautiously opened the door to a gap, and found that there were many manor guards in the corridor, patrolling back and forth.

She closed the door again, turned around and reported to her teammates: "It turned out that we were not just talking about banning us from going out, and even the guards were sent here."

Tang Chunen was startled when he heard the words: "Then if we go out, won't we be arrested soon?"

"That's why we have to think of a good way."

Ye Lingchuan said in a low voice: "As long as there are rules, there must always be some room for players to break the game. I guess the patrol routes of these guards have rules to follow."

As long as you find the route rules of the guards and take advantage of their loopholes, you can take the opportunity to escape.

Jiang Zhou suddenly thought of something: "We are still two sentences away from the clues in the room."

Tang Chun'en also echoed: "Yes, it's too perverted, spelling words one by one, this is already the fastest."

"...How can I find them one by one." Wen Zhuo couldn't help laughing, "There are reminders in the rose pattern on the curtains and bed sheets, which reminds which row and which book of the bookcase."

The two looked at each other, both feeling speechless.

Who would think of a good person to count roses?If you don't have a good eye, I'm afraid it's better to just flip through the book.

A big guy is a big guy after all.

[Pearls on the neck of a sleeping girl;

The head of the manor lord singing;
The only star in the dark night;

Souled by the bells of dawn. 】

Tang Chun'en occasionally burst out with super-level thinking and inspiration. When she finished listening to the last two sentences of this ballad, she thought for a moment and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she slapped her thigh with bright eyes.

"A Zhuo, do you mean the tulips in the garden when you say 'Boundless Dark Night' in the third sentence?"

Black tulips are blooming everywhere in this manor, so rich that they seem to blend in with the night.

At that time, when she looked at the tulips swaying in the wind, she had such thoughts, and felt that it was too depressing, but she didn't expect it to be a reminder about the task.

Wen Zhuo's expression was clear: "Yes, it's very possible, I didn't think about that at all before, as expected of you, baby."

Tang Chunen likes to be praised by good girlfriends the most. She chuckled: "So we should go to the yard to see the flowers first?"

"It's better for us to divide into two groups, the efficiency will be higher." Wen Zhuo said, "The butler warned us not to go to the fourth floor, because Mrs. Kester hates the invasion of privacy the most--the reminder is so obvious, of course we have to go one trip."

"Then... you and Mr. Ye go to the fourth floor, and Jiang Zhou and I go to find flowers?"

No matter from which point of view, it is obviously more difficult to go to the fourth floor. After all, the corridors in the building are full of patrolling guards.

In contrast, if you want to go to the courtyard, you just need to climb down the window quietly.

After being influenced by Wen Shuo for a long time, Tang Chunen became more and more active. She got up immediately to check the firmness of the sheets and curtains.

"Tie the sheets and curtains together as a rope. It's only the third floor. There shouldn't be any problem climbing down—can you?"

The last sentence was naturally a question to Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Zhou felt that he had been seriously underestimated, and he replied blankly and indifferently: "What's wrong? It's easy."

Wen Zhuo also thought this plan was feasible, so she turned her head to discuss with Ye Lingchuan: "Then let's go as soon as possible?"

Ye Lingchuan nodded: "Listen to you."

……

Tang Chun'en and Jiang Zhou were busy climbing up the window behind, while Wen Zhuo and Ye Lingchuan were squatting by the door, observing the pattern of the past guards' patrol routes with bated breath.

The corridor they are currently in has a total of four guards, every two guards patrolling with their backs facing each other, turning back at the end of the corridor, and after meeting in the middle of the corridor, they will switch directions and continue patrolling.

There is a slight time difference between the return of the two teams, which is probably a flaw left for the players.

Wen Zhuo analyzed in a low voice: "I tried it just now, and the room can't be locked now, which means that we can sneak into other rooms to take refuge at any time."

Ye Lingchuan understood what she meant: "You mean when the two teams of guards are patrolling with their backs, go to the guest room closer to the stairs first, and then leave when they move to the middle of the corridor?"

"Yes, as long as we are fast enough, there is no big problem." Wen Zhuo said again, "I took a special look when I just came back. There are six people living on the second floor and the third floor, except us, No. 5 and No. 10 There are also players in the rooms, and room 1234 is empty."

"The guard will stop in front of Room 1, let's go to Room 2 first."
