They tried to pry open the lock with it, but the iron bar was too thick to be inserted into the keyhole.
Ding Xiaoyu picked up a pair of scissors from the table and suggested, "Why don't we try this? Although the chances are slim, it's better than doing nothing."
Chu Tian nodded: "Then let's give it a try, anyway, we don't have any other options."
Ding Xiaoyu carefully inserted the tip of the scissors into the keyhole and tried to turn it.
The tips of the scissors were too fragile; they broke after a few twists.
She shook her head in disappointment: "Looks like this won't work either."
At this moment, Chen Zihao suddenly thought of something. He took out a thin wire from his pocket and said, "I found this before. Maybe we can use it to pick the lock."
Chu Tian said happily, "Great idea, let's try it out quickly."
Chen Zihao bent the wire into a hook shape and carefully inserted it into the keyhole.
He twisted the wire forcefully while gripping the doorknob, trying to turn it.
After a while, they heard a crisp "click" sound, and the lock was opened.
Chu Tian patted Chen Zihao on the shoulder: "Well done, we can finally leave this place."
They stepped out of the cabin and cautiously looked around, afraid that someone might be secretly watching them.
As soon as they stepped out of the cabin, they saw the driver's ferocious face. He was holding a sharp kitchen knife and was rushing towards them frantically, as if he wanted to kill them.
Chu Tian shouted, "Run!"
Chen Zihao and Ding Xiaoyu also panicked and fled in all directions, trying to get away from the crazy driver.
The forest was filled with an atmosphere of fear, and the pitch-black night made it impossible to tell which way was which.
They ran with all their might along the winding path, trying to escape their terrifying pursuer.
Chen Zihao ran breathlessly, saying to Chu Tian, "We have to find a way to get rid of him, otherwise he'll catch us sooner or later."
Chu Tian replied with a wry smile, "I also want to get rid of him, but he's chasing me too closely. We need to think of a way to shake him off."
Just then, Ding Xiaoyu called out from ahead, "I see a small hill ahead. We can try running along the hill; maybe we can shake him off."
The three of them wandered through the dense forest and finally found the small hill.
They unanimously decided to run uphill, hoping to use the terrain to shake off the terrible driver.
They ran up the hillside, their steps becoming increasingly difficult.
The hillside was covered with dead branches, fallen leaves, and soft soil, so they had to be extra careful with every step they took.
Although the driver was still behind them, the distance seemed to be slowly increasing.
Ding Xiaoyu said, panting, "We've been running for a long time. Now we should be able to hide for a while and think about our next plan."
Chu Tian nodded: "Let's find a place to hide and see if he can still find us."
The three found a relatively secluded place to hide, thus evading the driver's pursuit.
They held their breath in the woods, afraid of being discovered.
After a while, they found that the driver did not approach them again, seemingly having temporarily lost sight of their target.
Chen Zihao wiped his sweat and said, "What should we do now? We can't keep hiding here."
Chu Tian pondered for a moment and said, "We need to find a way to remove the controls from the driver as soon as possible. The documents we found in the cabin might provide some clues."
Chapter 555 The Driver Goes Mad
Just then, they heard cries of pain coming from nearby.
The driver, who had lost sight of his target, suddenly appeared in their line of sight as if going berserk.
He slashed his own face with the kitchen knife in his hand, blood streaming down his face, and screamed in agony.
Under their horrified gazes, the driver finally collapsed from exhaustion and lay motionless on the ground.
Ding Xiaoyu covered her mouth in horror: "What...what's going on?"
Looking at the driver lying on the ground, Chen Zihao said angrily, "This must have been done by the mastermind! He realized he could no longer control the driver to follow us, so he made the driver commit suicide."
Chu Tian clenched his fist: "We can't delay any longer. We must find the mastermind behind this as soon as possible and make him pay the price."
The three decided to leave the forest temporarily, taking with them the information they found in the cabin, to search for more clues and solve the mystery.
They walked out of the forest and came to the side of a road.
Here, they found a passing car and asked the driver for help to take them to a nearby town.
In the small town, the three found a place to stay temporarily.
They spread out the information they found on the table, trying to figure out how the driver was controlled. Chen Zihao said, "We must find the mastermind behind this to uncover the truth of this horrific incident."
Chu Tian studied the data carefully: "These complex patterns and symbols must be related to manipulation. We need to study them carefully."
Ding Xiaoyu took out her notebook and began to record their analysis process to prevent any clues from being missed.
After some effort, they finally found some clues in the documents.
Chu Tian said excitedly, "I think we've found an important clue that can help us break free from the control."
They decided to follow this lead and continue investigating who was behind it all.
They believe that while they were engrossed in studying the data, they were suddenly stunned by the news footage broadcast on television.
The news reported that the three men were suspected of murdering the driver and had become wanted criminal suspects by the police.
Ding Xiaoyu said in surprise, "How is this possible? We are clearly the victims, how did we become suspects?"
Chen Zihao clenched his fists angrily: "This must be a deliberate setup by the mastermind behind it all. He knows we're looking for him, so he wants to put us in a difficult position and prevent us from continuing our investigation."

Chu Tian frowned: "We not only need to find the mastermind behind this, but also clear our names. We must proceed with caution to avoid being discovered by the police."
The three decided to temporarily go by assumed names to avoid attracting attention in the town.
0...0
They changed into new clothes in town and tried to avoid talking to people to avoid being recognized.
Under cover of darkness, they continued to study the documents, searching for clues about the mastermind behind it all.
In order to break free from the control, they must figure out the meaning of these complex patterns and symbols.
Time was of the essence, so they had to continue their investigation into the night.
One evening, Chen Zihao discovered an important clue in the documents.
He excitedly said, "I found some potentially useful information; this pattern appears to be a symbol of an ancient evil force."
We can try to find the source of this power; perhaps then we can find a way to break free from its control.
Chu Tian encouraged him, "Okay, let's follow this lead and investigate."
Chapter 556 The Mysterious Temple
We cannot allow that mastermind to harm any more people.
In the days that followed, the three cautiously investigated the area around the town, searching for information related to this evil force. They found clues in ancient books and local legends, discovering that the evil force might be connected to an abandoned temple.
On a dark and stormy night, they decided to sneak into the temple to find the way to break free from the control, "067".
Under the cover of night, they followed a secluded mountain path to the temple.
The temple appeared ancient and dilapidated, with a chilly aura emanating from within.
They cautiously entered the temple, searching for any possible clues.
Chen Zihao warned, "Everyone be careful, this temple may have traps, don't touch them."
In a corner of the temple, Ding Xiaoyu found a stone slab with the same evil symbols carved on it.
She exclaimed excitedly, "Look! There are symbols here that match the ones in the documents we found!"
Chu Tian and Chen Zihao quickly came over, and together they carefully examined the stone slab.
Suddenly, Chu Tian discovered a hidden mechanism on the stone slab. With a gentle push, the slab slowly moved aside, revealing a dark passage.
The three looked at each other in bewilderment. Chu Tian said, "It seems we've found a secret passage. Perhaps this is the place leading to the mastermind behind it all."
They lit their torches and carefully proceeded along the passage.
The passageway had clearly been deserted for a long time, and was filled with dampness and a musty smell.
The passageway meandered and twisted, seemingly without end.
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at a stone chamber.
Inside the stone chamber was an altar with a tattered book on it.
