Reborn As The Villain President's LoverChapter 43

Hiya, there have been some changes to some names, Lian Jing is Lian Jingxing and Luo Yu is Luo Yu is Luo Yuxin, my bad, that’s all

---

Even Lian Jingxing felt that he really went back the longer he lived, and he could not see such a simple thing: “Are you Yu Anyi? Without a normal newcomer experience, you could be the protagonist when you made your debut, so you can say this naively… Forget it, that’s insulting Yu Anyi, Yu Anyi is much smarter than you.” r6IXpU

 

Meng Yuanbai: ……..

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

 

Lian Jingxing went to his room, took out his room card and swiped open the door and advised his best friend, “Go back and eat more walnuts.”

 

Meng Yuanbai: …..…

Buiy3j

 

Meng Yuanbai felt he had been so wronged!

 

Ji Qingzhou didn’t expect that Lian Jingxing would be so considerate of his own interests, and he specifically closed the door to remind him of this. In fact, he could have told him not to call him brother, but Lian Jingxing didn’t. Instead, he acquiesced and only patiently explained the matter to him afterwards. Ji Qingzhou felt that Lian Jingxing seemed to be more gentle than what Chu Cheng and Zhou Chengfeng had said, and he was lucky. uV9rde

 

This good luck continued until the next day, when he and Lian Jingxing teamed up with Yu Anyi, Ying Nian, Bei Wangyao, and the publicity guest.

 

Yu Anyi was very happy and whispered to Ji Qingzhou, “So the three of us from the same company will all be on the same team.” HUFA67

 

Ji Qingzhou nodded, as long as he wasn’t on the same team as Luo Yu, he would be satisfied.

 

“Come on,” Yu Anyi said, “We must win.” ukJBf8

 

For the first recording, the show set up a secret room escape + star PK, where two teams first performed a secret room escape, and the secret room had five levels, and for each level the star solved, his or her team got a point, and the team with the most points in the end could pick the item first in the next star PK session. eYDVhz

 

Even Lian Jingxing’s team almost all defaulted to him being the captain and walked in under his leadership. On the other team, Meng Yuanbai and Luo Yuxin were quite popular and had equal interest, Luo Yuxin took into account that he was a newcomer in the variety show, so he was the first to speak, “Yuanbai you’ll be the captain.”

 

When Meng Yuanbai saw him say that, he wasn’t modest and took over the position of captain, following behind Lian Jingxing and the others, he brought his own team into the chamber as well. t7kGHF

 

The first level of the room was empty, with only a cabinet, a coffee table, a sofa, and a not too large herbal medicine cabinet.

 

Lian Jingxing said, “Let’s look around for clues first.” A8p2WP

“March 3,” Luo Yuxin thought, “If it’s the seventh day, then it would be February 25 or 26 when he comes here, Brother Lian, you try 0225 or 0226.” jX6Pyu

 

Lian Jingxing tried, “No, not that.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

 

“Ying Nian, read on.” Luo Yuxin said. b o6ih

 

Ying Nian nodded, “Our group was seven people, we came here together to dig for treasures, yet as soon as we arrived, people went missing one after another, first it was Old King, he went missing one night, when I realized it, it was already 11:30 pm…”

 

“1130,” Luo Yuxin said. yxG14Y

 

Lian Jingxing tried again, “It’s still not right.”

 

Ji Qingzhou looked at the Chinese medicine cabinet in front of him, pondering what use these drawers were for. Why did some pull open and some don’t? Wait a minute, if all the others could be pulled open, then those that couldn’t be pulled open could reasonably be opened. However, if there was no key, where would the key be? Could it be that box? If it was put in that box, the key to open the box was in the drawer that couldn’t be opened. MqdvU0

 

Ji Qingzhou thought, taking a closer look at the drawers in front of him that couldn’t be pulled open, he saw that unlike the other drawers that could be pulled open, these drawers had different scratches on them. He counted the number of drawers he found that couldn’t be pulled open, and there were three, one more to go.

 

Ji Qingzhou quickly found a fourth drawer with scratches, he counted the scratches on each drawer and rushed to Lian Jing, “3145, try this one.” zDHcnC

 

Lian Jingxing tried, this time, the box was opened, Luo Yuxin didn’t look at Ji Qingzhou, while Yu Anyi was excited, “Wow, it’s really that, how did you know about it, Ji Qingzhou?”

 

Ji Qingzhou walked over and saw that there were indeed four keys in the box, he took the keys out and explained his thoughts to Yu Anyi, then raised the keys in his hand, “These keys are to open the drawer on top of that Chinese medicine cabinet.” 08Sp6r

 

Yu Anyi nodded repeatedly and rushed at him, “Then you quickly open it and take a look.”

Ji Qingzhou lightly went to the herbal medicine cabinet and opened the drawer, and there were four drawers, two of them were empty, and the other two, one had an ultraviolet pen in it, and one had another key in it. fQFGxa

 

“Which lock does this key open?” Yu Anyi asked him.

 

Ji Qingzhou lightly looked around and finally went to the door that was closed, he inserted the key in and turned it slightly and the door opened. XId7VB

 

“So simple.” Yu Anyi was surprised.

 

“It should get harder in the back,” Ji Qingzhou said, “After all, it’s the first level, and there are four more levels after that.” ESAdr3

 

Yu Anyi was now energized and patted him on the back, “Then hurry up, I’d like to see how hard it is back there.”

 

She said, taking the lead and walking into the second door, the others followed. WgpRdT

 

Luo Yuxin looked at Ji Qingzhou’s back, as he thought about when the director came to him in advance this morning, and said to him, “The first phase is arranged for escape from the room. This is a game that tests intelligence. You are the intellectual responsible for our show. It stands to reason that this should be your home court. So, Yuxin, do you want to know some key points in advance, so that you can set up your smart personality from the beginning.”

 

Luo Yuxin didn’t care to use such cheating tactics, so he refused. He had always thought he was smart, so he didn’t think he needed to rely on this way to establish his persona, just in case, he asked the director for the key information of the last level at the end. Luo Yuxin thought of this, his restless heart had settled down again, it didn’t matter, even if Ji Qingzhou cracked the first level, so what? The first level was so simple, he was just lucky. Anyway, the last level, it would definitely be his own to crack, so he would let him be proud of himself for a while. sVHkIP

 

Luo Yuxin smiled, and followed his own group into the second room.

The second room was obviously much bigger than the first one, there was a clock hanging on the wall near the left hand side, and three cabinets of different sizes below, and several cabinets near the right hand side, with an hourglass, a half-burned incense stick and a half-drunk cup of tea placed on top of each cabinet. On the wall facing them were nine horizontal tunnels with sliding grids, and at the top of the tunnels were written ten numbers from 0 to 9. D7LO0N

 

Yu Anyi was the first to run to open the cabinet, and found that the drawers on both sides were still somewhat open and some could not be opened, “Still have to find the key, the key to the drawer that can’t be pulled and the key to this door.”

 

Influenced by the last hurdle of Ji Qingzhou, this time, many people studied the drawers carefully first. tk32fb

 

Lian Jingxing looked up at the watch hanging on the wall and found that the watch was stagnant. He suddenly thought of the sentence in the first room, “When I realized it, it was already 11:30 in the evening.” He stepped on the cabinet on the spot and adjusted the watch to 11:30.

 

With a “bang”, a drawer popped up from the cabinet on the right hand side. Ji Qingzhou ran over and saw a box and a book inside. He reached for it, but touched Cai Li’s hand. Cai Li suddenly withdrew her hand, and gave him an angry look. LPrdAX

 

Ji Qingzhou was a bit confused by her glance, but had no time and took the case and book out.

“Combination lock, 3 digits.” He said.

  IS8lWJ

He flipped through the book he was holding, “No words? Blank?” Ji Qingzhou quickly realized what was happening and shone a light with the ultraviolet pen he had gotten at the last level, and indeed it shone a few words, “378.”

 

He tried with this number and without much effort opened the combination lock and saw that a key was inside the box.

  vqY0KD

Ji Qingzhou handed the key to Yu Anyi, and Yu Anyi opened a drawer beside her, inside was a stuffed toy and a box.

She looked at the stuffed toy in her hand, “What’s this? A wolf? It can’t be a husky.”

  aEgB J

Ji Qingzhou, on the other hand, looked at the box she was holding, “This one needs a key to be opened.”

 

“Then let’s find the key.” Meng Yuanbai, who had been feeling as if his team was being crushed, spoke up.

  oL4D3a

Ji Qingzhou sniffed and also went to rummage through the cabinets, but he didn’t pay attention and bumped into Cai Li, who turned to stare at him with a face of impatience.

 

Ji Qingzhou felt that she was being strange to him and apologized in a good voice, “I’m sorry.”

  lE16t

However, Cai Li didn’t pay any attention to him.

 

Ji Qingzhou had to stop and continue searching for the key.

Lian Jingxing looked at the display on the cabinet and turned to Ying Nian, “Where’s that book you just found?”

 

Ying Nian handed it to him, and he took it and read it, “After that, Xiao Li, Lao Zhang and the others disappeared one after another, and I recorded the times when I found them missing at 7:10 a.m., 2:25 p.m., 8:15 p.m., 4 a.m., and 10:30 p.m.”

Lian Jingxing looked and counted in his mind, “1, 5, 8, 11, 3, 12.”

He walked to the wall with the number written on it, and pressed the number to correspond to each tunnel square under each number. When a two-digit number like 11 was encountered, it went up and down in two rows.

  T4 rEl

As a result, the number 2 just corresponded, and then there was a bang, and a drawer that couldn’t be pulled before popped out. Yu Anyi ran over and took out the key she had put in the drawer, opened the box she was holding, and said happily, “It’s also a key, so it should be the one to open our door.”

 

She said walking over to the door, and sure enough, opened the second door.

  ayG0IZ

Yu Anyi looked at Lian Jingxing in surprise, “You’re pretty good.”

 

Lian Jingxing smiled and didn’t say anything.

  Bs4vAK

Meng Yuanbai asked him, “What’s going on?”

 

Lian Jingxing lifted his chin to indicate the objects placed on the cabinet, “These three things, all have a common function, they are used to keep time. We came in and opened the first cabinet because we toggled the clock and touched the mechanism, which means that the mechanism in this room might be related to time. Qingzhou opened the chest and got the first key, using the ultraviolet pen he got in the last level, indicating that, in fact, each level is connected to the other. This wall specifically set up like this must be the key to cracking this level, so I figured that it’s connected to the last level, and time-related, and there’s only twelve hours left.”

  lqiFmH

“In ancient times, didn’t they always use a cup of tea and an incense burner? That information related to time, that is, the information left by the owner of the notebook in Ying Nian’s hand about the time when each person disappeared, I took the time when each person disappeared and corresponded it to the ancient hour, the first one is 11:30, 11:30 in ancient times is the time of the child, and the child is first in line, so it’s 1, and so on, that’s 1, 5, 8, 11, 3, 12.”
