She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

Jiang Lai and Lu Jin began to carefully search the surveillance room.

“There’s a safe here!” Lu Jin said, pointing to the corner.

Jiang Lai walked over and said, "There's a display screen up there, is that so strange?"

Lu Jin touched the display screen, and it lit up.

"Is this... Huarong Road?" Lu Jin leaned closer to examine it. "Leave it to me?"

Jiang Lai nodded: "Then I'll go check out the other places."

"it is good."

Just then, the loudspeaker announced, "All doctors, please proceed to room C201 immediately for a meeting. I repeat, all doctors, please proceed to room C201 immediately for a meeting."

"What should we do? Should we go?" Lu Jin stopped what he was doing.

“I’ll go. You and I got our clothes from the same doctor, so only one of us can go. You stay here and crack this safe. If there’s a key inside, go help the sisters. We’ll meet in the doctor’s office from before.”

"Mmm." Lu Jin obeyed Jiang Lai's arrangements unconditionally.

Jiang Lai left the monitoring room alone. By then, all the lights outside were on. Jiang Lai took a mask out of her white coat pocket and put it on.

With the lights on, Jiang Lai quickly took in the entire C area. She carefully memorized each room and the route, but strangely, there was no C404.

Several NPCs walked ahead of Jiang Lai, and Jiang Lai silently followed.

The doctors entered a conference room, where a leader-like figure rambled on and on, mainly telling the doctors to be wary of unfamiliar faces and to pay attention to the patients' movements.

"If you hear any unusual noises in any room, be sure to check it out! I don't need to remind you, you know what will happen if what we're doing is discovered, right?"

The other doctors responded in unison, "Understood."

Jiang Lai sat not far from the leader, cautiously observing him and guessing that he must be the dean.

The name tag reads: "Name: Hao Ren; Number:"

Jiang Lai silently made a note of it.

"Let's adjourn the meeting!" Hao Ren said.

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

Jiang Lai followed them out of the room, and then, taking advantage of the NPC's inattention, slipped into the original office, but it was empty.

"What's going on? Isn't he here? Is he still in the monitoring room?" Jiang Lai frowned and went to the monitoring room, but Lu Jin was not there.

The safe has been opened.

Jiang Lai searched for Lu Jin and her teammates on the screen.

They then discovered that Lu Jin and his group were tied up in a hospital room, guarded by NPCs. The monitor showed it was room 103, not in area C.

Jiang Lai activated the call function on the monitor.

"Attention all medical staff, a suspicious person has been found in C204. Please proceed to investigate immediately."

She took a gamble, betting that these NPCs would go to patrol.

Sure enough, the NPCs immediately left the ward.

Jiang Lai immediately put on a mask, walked out of the monitoring room, avoided the crowd, and came to the ward area.

After watching the NPCs leave, Jiang Lai immediately went inside.

How did you get caught?

“Your boyfriend brought us the keys and opened the door for us. We were about to leave when we unexpectedly ran into someone.”

Jiang Lai first untied the ropes from the two girls, then untied Lu Jin, and the four of them left the ward together.

"Do you have any missions?" Jiang Lai asked.

"Our characters are that of a detective and his assistant who have nothing better to do. We heard that there are some problems with this hospital, so we came here looking for excitement."

Since they had run into each other, the four of them decided to work together. The other couple couldn't be found either, but that didn't stop them from completing their mission.

The four of them cautiously walked out and came to an archive room. After discussing it for a while, they decided to go in. Pushing open the door, they saw rows of shelves filled with various cardboard boxes.

Before anyone could get a good look, the door suddenly closed.

At the same time, the lights in the archives room went out, leaving only four lights on the wall flashing different colors.

The sisters were startled and let out two screams. Lu Jin was startled by their noise, but quickly calmed down and asked with concern, "Jiang Lai, are you alright?"

"fine."

Fortunately, the two girls calmed down quickly after screaming. The four of them gathered together to look for clues and discovered that the door required a password to open.

"Speaking of which, this escape room really loves combination locks," Lu Jin remarked.

"A four-digit password." Jiang Lai wanted to turn around to see if there were any more clues in the room, and the girl next to her also came over to take a look.

Jiang Lai instinctively stepped aside to let her have a seat, but tripped over something and fell straight into the arms of the person next to her.

Lu Jin felt someone fall towards him in the darkness. He initially wanted to dodge, but upon hearing Jiang Lai's soft gasp, he realized it was her. So he didn't dodge, but gently caught her, supporting her waist with one hand and holding her arm with the other.

Jiang Lai used the support to steady herself and then stepped out of Lu Jin's embrace.

"Are you alright?" Lu Jin asked with concern.

"It's nothing," Jiang Lai replied softly, instinctively, upon hearing Lu Jin's question.

To Lu Jin, the "it's nothing" sounded somewhat shy.

His face also began to turn red and hot, but fortunately, it was pitch black all around, so no one else could see his blushing face.

"That's why single people don't want to carpool with couples! Ugh!" one girl joked. "Why don't you two start your romance after we get out?"

Neither of them offered an explanation.

Lu Jin changed the subject, asking, "Could it be related to the light on the wall?"

“It’s possible,” Jiang Lai confirmed his guess.

Lu Jin couldn't help but feel a little happy. "I just noticed that the light goes out every now and then, and then starts flashing again."

“Let’s just wait for the next cycle,” one of the girls suggested.

Everyone agreed.

When the lights started flashing for the next cycle, each of the four people was assigned a light and they counted how many times the lights had been on.

The final result was 5, 7, 3, 6.

"Is the password 5736 or 6375?"

“Try it and you’ll see.” Jiang Lai stepped forward, entered “5736”, and the door opened quickly.

“I’ll keep an eye on the door,” one of the girls said. “Can you check the archives for any clues?”

The rest of the people searched around the archives and finally found a safe hidden in a corner, covered with file folders.

"It's well hidden," Lu Jin muttered.

"The safe seems to be playing games?"

"I can't do it! You two do it!" another girl wailed.

The display screen on the safe showed two numbers, two buttons below each number, and a round button in the middle. Jiang Lai tried pressing the right button, and the number changed.

"Do the numbers on both sides need to be the same?" Jiang Lai tentatively pressed the buttons. One button was for adding, and the other was for subtracting, while the round button would restore the original position.

The file folder that was originally kept in the safe had a note.

The button on the left represents addition, and the button on the right represents subtraction. Adding or subtracting the numbers will affect the opening and closing of the safe. The numbers on both sides must match to open it.

Jiang Lai tried for a while and then opened the safe. Inside was a file folder marked "Top Secret".

She took out the documents inside, which turned out to be data and information from human experiments conducted by the hospital after its establishment.

"This should be what we're supposed to take, right?" Lu Jin asked.

“That’s not all. C404 also has a video recording. We need to get our hands on that.” Jiang Lai waved the paper in her hand.

The task requires both data and video recordings; neither can be omitted.

“Let’s go quickly!” the sisters said.

The four of them tiptoed out of the archives.

"C404 isn't on the map, so we're guessing it's a hidden space. Where should we look for it?"

“Go to Dean Hao’s office.” Jiang Lai reacted quickly. “Whether it was in the previous meeting or in this document, Hao Ren’s position is very high, which means he is very likely the person in charge. Such an important place as C404 can only be under his nose.”

"Then let's go to the dean's office!"

No one objected, so they all headed towards the dean's office.

Midway through their journey, they encountered patrolling NPCs. To distract them, the two girls separated from them and ran away.

Jiang Lai got carried away with the fun and dragged Lu Jin along, running all the way to the dean's office.

There was no one inside, and Jiang Lai didn't turn on the lights. Using the dim light, she pulled Lu Jin and hid in the closet together.

The two of them came in rather hastily, and the closet was a bit small. Lu Jin, who is 187 cm tall, and Jiang Lai, who is 170 cm tall, were pressed tightly together inside the closet.

Lu Jin felt that this position was too awkward. He wanted to separate from Jiang Lai a little. No matter what, as a boy, he shouldn't take advantage of a girl, even if it was unintentional.

"Squeak—" The door suddenly opened.

Lu Jin immediately stopped what he was doing and tried to peek through the crack to see what was happening outside. He looked out and suddenly realized that a pair of eyes were staring into the wardrobe!

He was startled and completely panicked. At that moment, Jiang Lai covered his eyes with her hands and whispered in his ear, "Don't look, it's okay."

Lu Jin nodded, extremely nervous. He could hear his own heartbeat, so clear in the darkness.

The people outside seemed to be just doing a quick check and left soon after.

Jiang Lai and Lu Jin stepped out of the closet. Lu Jin looked at the ceiling and the floor, embarrassed, but avoided looking at Jiang Lai. "Where is the secret room?"

Jiang Lai noticed a spot on the mural on the wall that was gleaming, seemingly from years of being touched by hands.

She touched the spot, and soon a door appeared on the wall.

"Is it that simple?" Jiang Lai shrugged uninterestedly, then led Lu Jin inside.

Inside was a blood-soaked operating room, with bloodstains on everything. What caught the eye was the desktop computer inside. Lu Jin took out a CD from the computer, which was labeled "Experiment Record".

"Is this it? Let's open it and take a look?" Jiang Lai said.

"This should be it." Lu Jin put it back, turned on the computer, and it asked for a password.

Jiang Lai tried the dean's ID number, but it was wrong. Then she saw a picture of the dean's daughter on the dean's office wall, entered her daughter's birthday, but that was also wrong.

At this moment, Jiang Lai suddenly remembered the rubbing she had made earlier. On a whim, she tried it out and it actually opened.

Then they saw the entire contents of the disc, and indeed the evidence was correct.

It is the first patient's ID number, date of birth, and the last even digit indicates female.

Lu Jin said, "Then can we go?"

"Maybe!"

The two went to find the sisters again, and along the way they also met a couple. The six of them were finally together. They put together the clues they had, and with an NPC they needed to save, they left through the back door of the hospital.

After emerging from the secret room, it was time for dinner.

Lu Jin asked Jiang Lai for her opinion: "Do you want to have dinner first? Or do you want to play a little longer?" There's an arcade on the fifth floor.

Jiang Lai shook her head: "Let's eat first, then we can play."

“Okay,” Lu Jin agreed, “What would you like to eat?”

"Barbecue?" Jiang Lai has been busy working out lately and hasn't had this kind of food for a while, so she's been craving it.

"Let's go to the third floor then. There's a really good barbecue restaurant there." Lu Jin led Jiang Lai to the third floor.

After ordering a set meal for two, Lu Jin started grilling the meat. He barely touched his chopsticks, while Jiang Lai ate alone.

Jiang Lai noticed this as well, and she invited Lu Jin to eat as well.

Lu Jin laughed, "It's fine if I eat it later."

Jiang Lai whispered to 001, "Waaah, he's so good!"

001: "Yeah." A resentful bastard who gives both barbecue and goodwill points.

After finishing their barbecue, the two went to the arcade for a while. Jiang Lai felt she had digested enough, so she suggested that they call it a day.

The two of them took the escalator to the first floor of the mall, where there were even more people as evening approached.

Jiang Lai stood and spoke to Lu Jin: "That's about it."

“Lu Jin’s favorability rating is maxed out,” 001 suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lai's smile brightened even more. She smiled and said to Lu Jin, "I had a lot of fun today. How about you?"

"Me too, me too." Lu Jin scratched his head sheepishly. "Um—I—"

Jiang Lai spoke first: "Then I'll head back now?"

"I'll give it to you!"

"No need, no need," Jiang Lai refused. "Anyway, it's not far to walk back, and it's still so bright outside, it'll be fine."

Lu Jin looked somewhat disappointed. "Alright then."

"Then let's meet at the airport?"

“Okay,” Lu Jin replied with a simple, honest smile.

Jiang Lai said goodbye to him and turned to leave.

When Jiang Lai got home that evening, she asked 001, "What's the situation with Lu Jin?"

"That's how it is! His affection level gradually increased while he was playing games with you today, and I didn't remind you after that."

Jiang Lai sighed, "He was probably just scared by the situation at the time, it was just the suspension bridge effect."

"Anyway, the favorability rating is already maxed out, so it doesn't matter if it drops further." 001 said, "Do you still want a reward?"

"Yes! Of course I want it! It's the kind of hair that's like mist and clouds, right?"

"Yes," 001 said. "Shall we distribute them now?"

"Now."

Almost instantly, Jiang Lai's hair became jet black and thick, and looked very shiny.

"It's so nice." Jiang Lai touched her hair as if she were touching a piece of fine silk.
