Chapter 79: Are They Scared Stupid?

Before Xu Jiaojiao could react, Xu Zhengyang had already wrapped his arms around her and protected her in his embrace.

Qi Shenbai, who had lost Xu Jiaojiao, did not say a word. He just stood there quietly, like a toy that had lost its battery, looking especially lonely.

“Brother, stop…” Xu Jiaojiao gestured for Xu Zhengyang to stop talking.

Xu Zhengyang looked at Xu Jiaojiao with a serious expression. “When a girl goes out, she should maintain a proper distance from the opposite sex. That is the basic rule!”

Xu Jiaojiao did not say anything. In her mind, Qi Shenbai was not that kind of person.

Then, she looked at Qi Shenbai. She wanted to say something, but when she met his eyes, she realized that all her words were stuck in her throat. She could not say them at all.

The look in his eyes took her breath away.

They were filled with sorrow and desolation, like beasts in a colosseum that could never escape the cage that trapped them.

Why was Qi Shenbai reacting so strongly?

Could it be because of the doll just now?

It was precisely after he saw the doll that Qi Shenbai became abnormal.

With a guess in mind, Xu Jiao jiao turned around and picked up the doll. “Jiaojiao, where are you going?” Xu Zhengyang could not pull her back in time. Qi Shenbai looked at Xu Jiaojiao, who was walking towards him, and a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes. He aimed the flashlight at her.

Xu Jiaojiao walked over to the doll and picked it up.

This was the most popular style in the past two years. The doll had long golden hair and a red dress. However, because it had been stored here for a period of time, the entire doll had become extremely worn out. Its neck had even turned around, and it looked especially terrifying.

“Eeep… Jiaojiao, quickly, put that down. That thing is terrifying!” Su Luo turned her head away, not daring to look at the scary doll.

“How is it scary? It's just been used for too long. It can be fixed.” Xu Jiaojiao gently wiped away the stains on the doll's surface and then turned the doll's head back.

“See, isn't it better now?”

Xu Jiaojiao held the doll in front of her chest and showed it to everyone.

Everyone was stunned.

Unexpectedly, in their entire team, Xu Jiaojiao was actually the bravest.

They were ashamed of themselves!

“Yes, it's indeed very cute.” Qi Shenbai smiled as he looked at the proud Xu Jiaojiao.

Looking at the two of them, Su Luo leaned over and whispered to Xu Zhengyang, “Are they… scared stupid?”

“From the looks of it… yes.”

Thump!

Just then, the lights came on one by one, and the escape room slowly lit up.

Xu Jiaojiao and the others were a little taken aback. Then, the staff member's voice came through the loudspeaker. “Congratulations to all the players for clearing the level. You are currently the first batch of players to successfully clear the level! Congratulations!

“First, let us tell you about the background story of this escape room. This story is about a husband and wife who have a well-behaved daughter.

However, life got in the way. The husband was out working for a long time and neglected his family. The wife gradually became depressed and spent all her time away from home. Eventually, only the daughter was left at home.

“One day, the five-year-old girl missed her father. She climbed onto a stool just to give him a call, but she accidentally fell and bumped her head. Tragically, she passed away.

“After the daughter died, no one dared to live in the house. Several attempts to sell it failed, and it became abandoned. Only the daughter's soul remained, attached to her favorite doll when she was alive, waiting for her parents to return one day.”

“We're back, we're finally back!” Su Luo heaved a long sigh of relief. At this moment, she felt relaxed after coming out of the gloomy escape room.

Just then, the staff came over and returned the items that they had stored. At the same time, they also gave Xu Jiaojiao a copy of the doll.

“There's a reward, but I think we'll pass…” Su Luo felt a little creeped out.

The staff member scratched his head. He also knew that this reward for clearing the stage was a little strange, but the boss bought it, so he could only do as he was told.

This doll was the reward for clearing the level. It was cute in an ugly but adorable way. Xu Jiaojiao actually quite liked it, but when she thought about how this doll would make Qi Shenbai uncomfortable, she could only give up. “Thanks, but—”

Before she could finish, a slender hand reached out to accept the doll.

“Thank you.”

Xu Jiaojiao turned to look at Qi Shenbai in surprise as he took the doll. There was no change in Qi Shenbai's expression, as if he was completely unfazed. He handed the doll to Xu Jiao jiao.

“If you like it, take it.”

Xu Jiaojiao bit her lower lip.. “Are you sure it's alright?”
