Chapter 398 Love is a game for the brave

Rumor has it that in Pawnshop No. 8, you can get everything in the world, status, beauty, wealth... even eternal life. Whatever you want, you can get it there.

But no one knows that getting these comes at a price.

Luck, knowledge, love, family, conscience, loyalty, these can all be pawned items, even parts of the body, eyes, hearing, taste, kidneys, these can be used for exchange.

This is the background of Xu Cheng and his team’s secret room.

It’s just that the second half is hidden information, which players need to slowly discover while completing the game.

So, at the same time that Li Qiuyang and Guo Zining obtained the hidden clues, Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou also obtained hints in the Way of Nirvana.

To obtain the final treasure, one needs to trick the other party into entering the coffin "between yin and yang" and use their lives to suppress the pawnshop owner.

Otherwise, while obtaining the treasure, the pawnshop owner's rest would be disturbed, triggering the plot of Baigui's travel.

Without much hesitation, Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou immediately reached a consensus.

We must trick them both into coming in!

Xu Cheng’s idea is very simple.

The small square box must not have much space, just throw Li Qiuyang and Guo Zining in it.

Such a small space, such a gloomy atmosphere...

Would Guo Zining not throw herself into the arms of the only boy next to her?

Autumn sun.

Don't say I didn't help you.

As for Lin Wanzhou, her thoughts coincided with Xu Cheng's.

They all wanted to create an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.

In the end, she even locked it with her own hands.

After locking the door, he checked it carefully and felt relieved only when he found that the two people had no chance to get out.

"Is it okay to keep it locked up like this?"

Lin Wanzhou was a little worried at this time, afraid that she would make Guo Zining angry.

Because of the information gap between the two sides, Lin Wanzhou had no idea that Guo Zining in the box was full of boomerang thoughts like "what goes around comes around" and so on. He couldn't be angry with her at all. Instead, he felt that it was retribution for himself.

"It's okay. I just checked. There's a light inside, and the space is quite large and ventilated."

Xu Cheng quickly put his arm around Lin Wanzhou's shoulders, fearing that Li Qiuyang would miss this rare opportunity because of her soft-heartedness.

"Let's quickly look for clues. Let's try our best to clear this secret room before the time is up."

"Um."

The two were searching for clues everywhere. Inside the box, Li Qiuyang and Guo Zining were unusually calm.

Guo Zining tried hard to pull his legs back, then looked at Li Qiuyang with disgust.

"Stay away from me. If you touch me, you're dead."

“…”

Li Qiuyang wanted to retort, but gave up with a sigh. He could still hear Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou whispering outside.

"Guo Zining...are you still single now?"

Li Qiuyang held it in for a long time before finally asking the question that he had been curious about for a long time.

Guo Zining was stunned.

Are you still single now?

Why does this question sound like Li Qiuyang already has a partner, which is why he would ask such a question?

No wonder...

This pighead ignored me for so long, he must be with someone else.

Guo Zining's heart suddenly sank and he even felt like crying.

But he still crossed his arms across his chest, looking nonchalant.

"It's already too late, right? Why are you asking this? I'm telling you, be careful not to take advantage of me, or my boyfriend will definitely beat you up if he finds out."

"???"

After hearing Guo Zining's answer, Li Qiuyang stood there as if struck by lightning, unable to speak for a long time.

Guo Zining's heart skipped a beat when he saw his strange expression.

Could it be that I was wrong?

Li Qiuyang didn't have that at all, she was actually overthinking it.

It’s better to ask clearly first!

"Do you have a girlfriend now?" Guo Zining asked quickly.

“Ahem.”

Li Qiuyang touched his nose.

She thought that Guo Zining already had a boyfriend, and if she said no, wouldn't that be embarrassing?

Maybe Guo Zining would point at my nose and laugh at me.

Li Qiuyang, I have a partner but you don’t, so, you don’t still like me, do you?

He felt that he absolutely could not say that.

He didn't want to end up looking like a loser, sitting dejectedly in front of this girl who had occupied his entire youth.

"Yes, yes..." he said with a blushing face.

After hearing this, Guo Zining looked at him unwillingly and asked another tentative question.

"I've never heard you say that."

Li Qiuyang coughed twice.

"I just agreed not long ago, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."

This time, the little flame that had just ignited in Guo Zining's heart was extinguished by a basin of cold water.

I shouldn't have come today...

And you said you would love me forever...

Dog man!

Li Zhutou, you are a scumbag!

Guo Zining felt aggrieved and angry, and didn't want to stay with Li Qiuyang for another second.

She wanted to call out to Lin Wanzhou and ask her to let her out quickly, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she heard a shrill scream from outside.

"ah!!!"

Lin Wanzhou searched for Xu Cheng for a long time but couldn't find him. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder. He was so scared that he trembled and started shouting.

"Hey, hey, hey? Don't hit me, don't hit me."

Xu Cheng protected his face to block the girl's punches.

"You are crazy, Lin Wanzhou. It's me, not a ghost."

“…”

The girl narrowed her eyes and saw clearly that the person who patted her shoulder was Xu Cheng. She became even more angry and hit his arm twice.

"You are a ghost, a pervert! And a super pervert!"

"Don't wrongly accuse a good person." Xu Cheng pried her hands apart. "I'm afraid you haven't even seen how upright I am."

"H-Have you found any clues? I found two bloody words that said 'scam'."

"I found an ancient book."

"Book?"

“Well, there’s a story on it.”

"What's the story?"

"Two brothers came to Pawnshop No. 8 together, and in order to get the treasure, driven by greed, they plotted against each other. After a fight, the elder brother pawned his younger brother's life in exchange for the final treasure, but in the end he didn't get the treasure , and was eaten by the owner of the pawnshop instead."

“…”

Lin Wanzhou was quietly thinking about the story told by Xu Cheng. At this time, Xu Cheng asked curiously beside her.

" Lin Wanzhou, were you scared just now?"

"I...I didn't."

"You were obviously scared. I just walked away for a while and you got so nervous. You are still afraid."

"What am I afraid of? I'm not afraid."

Lin Wanzhou put her hands on her waist, looking very confident.

"Even if a ghost really came out now, I would..."

"ah!!!"

As the girl spoke, she started screaming again and kept pointing behind Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng scratched his ears and looked curiously in the direction Lin Wanzhou pointed, then he saw a puppet in scary clothes hanging upside down behind him at some point.

“I’ll go!”

He couldn't help it and was so scared that goose bumps appeared all over his body and he staggered back several times.

As for Lin Wanzhou, she no longer cared about being a lady at this time.

At this moment, she felt that whether it was in the sky or on the ground, front or back, left or right, in short, 360 degrees, there was no angle that could guarantee that a strange hand would not reach out to grab her.

So she jumped a few times on the spot, and when she saw Xu Cheng beside her, she pounced on him, hugged his neck tightly, wrapped her legs tightly around his waist, and nodded her head in front of his chest, and burrowed into his coat.

“Woo woo…”

Hearing her humming in his arms, Xu Cheng felt helpless.

"It's just a dummy, a device. You, you get off me first."

“…”

Lin Wanzhou remained unmoved.

She was frightened out of her wits.

Xu Cheng had no choice but to persuade him again.

"What if someone sees us?"

"No one..."

Lin Wanzhou said in a low voice.

The only two light bulbs had been locked in a box by her.

At this moment, she felt that her decision to lock up Li Qiuyang and Guo Zining was really the right one.

Neither of them could see how miserable she looked now.

The two of them just stood there motionless.

Xu Cheng held the girl's thighs. Even through the jeans, he could still feel the amazing elasticity and smooth touch of her thighs.

"What should we do now? We can't just stand here until the time is up. That would mean we will fail." Sniffing the rich fragrance of Lin Wanzhou's hair, Xu Cheng asked tentatively.

Lin Wanzhou in his arms was quiet for a long time before she laid on his chest and spoke softly.

"Then you look for clues..."

As she spoke, Xu Cheng could still feel the wet and hot breath hitting the clothes on his chest.

"How do I find it? You're not going to let me find it like this, are you?"

"Aren't you very strong?"

“…”

Xu Cheng felt that he had the strength to hold Lin Wanzhou, so there was absolutely no problem. After all, she was just a tiny, light thing to him, so holding her for fifteen minutes, half an hour, or even a whole day would not be a problem.

But just because there is no problem holding it doesn’t mean there is no problem walking with it.

In case you accidentally touch it...

Today I really live up to the reputation of being a pervert.

Just when it was quiet, Xu Cheng suddenly heard the voices of Li Qiuyang and Guo Zining shouting from the coffins where they were imprisoned.

"Xu Cheng, Xu Cheng."

“…”

The young man looked down at Lin Wanzhou, then took a deep breath and slowly walked to the coffin.

"What's wrong?"

"Xu Cheng, did you encounter a ghost?"

"How did you know that?"

"I heard you two yelling outside."

"That was Xu Cheng who shouted," Lin Wanzhou hastened to emphasize, "He is too timid and sees enemies everywhere."

“…”

The remaining three people inside and outside the coffin were silent for a long time.

"Xu Cheng, you probably don't know..."

At this point, Li Qiuyang directly told Xu Cheng what had just happened in Xuanyin Dao.

"Are you saying that you were so proactive in going in because you listened to the NPC and wanted to play a trick on us?"

"Um……"

Li Qiuyang fell silent.

Lin Wanzhou, who heard all this in Xu Cheng's arms, also jumped off Xu Cheng.

"Aning, why are you like this? I felt so guilty just now."

"But you didn't have good intentions in locking me up."

"I did that for... for..."

Lin Wanzhou, who almost let the cat out of the bag, was now stammering and unable to utter a word.

Xu Cheng, who had been thinking for a long time, spoke.

"I see."

Xu Cheng just connected all the clues he had found, pieced the fragments together, and finally linked together the plot of the entire secret room.

"It seems like we are scheming against each other, but in fact, no one can escape. It will be like the story in the book I found. The two brothers killed each other, and in the end, no one got the treasure. Instead, all of it was swallowed up by Pawnshop No. 8. That's why Lin Wanzhou saw the bloody word - scam. The so-called pawnshop is actually a scam. I'm afraid the owner of the pawnshop deliberately spread such news, and then kept tricking people to come and eat them, and finally realize his wish of resurrection."

"So that's how it is."

“Wonderful and wonderful.”

Li Qiuyang and Guo Zining were listening with great interest in the coffin. At this time, Lin Wanzhou was stroking his slightly upturned chin and thinking.

"So how do we get through this?"

"I don't know yet. The front desk said it's a secret room with multiple endings. I don't know if we can trigger the best one." Xu Cheng said, "Anyway, let's let them out first."

"oh."

It is called a coffin, but perhaps to make it easier for people to accept psychologically, it is designed to be in the shape of a large box.

The two of them came over, and Lin Wanzhou took out the copper key and unlocked the box, but after opening it twice, there was no movement. She observed it again and found that there was a combination lock on the box.

"I need a password. Where is the password?"

"have no idea."

The four were confused.

Xu Cheng tried to ask.

"How about using the intercom to ask the staff?"

Lin Wanzhou shook his head. "Forget it. That's so boring. It would be more fun to find it by myself."

In the box.

Guo Zining sat with his legs tucked in depressed, but found that Li Qiuyang was staring at him.

She gave him a warning look, only to find that the guy was leaning closer.

"Li Qiuyang, what do you want to do?!"

Guo Zining nervously pushed Li Qiuyang away.

Xu Cheng who was outside was also stunned when he heard this. Did Li Qiuyang just start to act recklessly inside when he heard that the box couldn't be opened?

Stop messing around!

Just as he was about to dissuade them, he heard Li Qiuyang's voice inside.

"Xu Cheng, I see a password comparison table. It's right behind Guo Zining. Guo Zining, please don't block it. Move aside, move aside."

In the narrow space, Guo Zining tried hard to make room for Li Qiuyang, but he didn't know if it was intentional by the designer, the location of the password table was just at the same level as her sensitive parts.

Li Zhutou, you'd better really be looking at the password!

She thought secretly.

But the girl had a strange idea in her mind .

Or the desire to win.

snort.

Is your girlfriend...as old as me?

"Xu Cheng, didn't we see strange names in the previous rooms just now? Those names seemed to correspond to the numbers here." Li Qiuyang said.

Xu Cheng reacted immediately and read out those names to Li Qiuyang, who compared them one by one to find the corresponding numbers.

"Yingning is 7, Liansuo is 5, and Shunhua is 9..."

Li Qiuyang compared them one by one, his face getting closer and closer to Guo Zining, and finally his eyes moved away from her face.

Eyes met.

At this moment Li Qiuyang suddenly felt a little unwilling.
