TISHW 22




Chapter 22 Rescue the Hostages

Before Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen could be stunned, Xiang Chen said to Ye Yuanyu, "Do you think she had figured out the answers to the original and new questions at that time? It's just that the director group didn't have time to change the password, so she was looking for clues as she waited."

Ye Yuanyu nodded and said, "It's possible."

【How hateful! She’s acting again! Why does she look so well-behaved and can still be so cool! 】

After Ye Yuanyu finished speaking, he turned to look at Qin Shiyu nearby, wanting to know what he thought.

Qin Shiyu was still lolling around like always. Looking at Jiang Yu's back, he suddenly smiled and said, "En, she has figured it out a long time ago." 

There was an obvious amusement in his tone. It was as if he had remembered something interesting. 

【Ahhhhh! This smile of God Yu...]

【What happened to him? Have you finally recovered from domineering bigshot's table-kabedon? 】

【I’m set on this CP. Ship them! 】

【Don’t worry about CP for now. I just want to know how she calculated the question! 】

【Yes, I didn’t even see her holding a pen and paper. How could she do mental arithmetic to square root of 754? Do you top students disrespect draft paper that much? 】

Fortunately, Shu Hua was here. After hearing their discussion, she finally remembered they wanted to find batteries at the beginning to use the calculator to calculate the question.

She curiously asked Jiang Yu, "Bigshot, how did you calculate it?"

Jiang Yu blinked, seemingly confused by her question, "They are all basic arithmetic questions for middle school and high school."

Shu Hua:......

【Hahaha, Shu Hua and I have the same expression now. Are you listening to what nonsense you are talking about? 】

【Even if you’re a bigshot, you can't look down on people this much. Do I not know how to do math? I can’t figure it out without a calculator! 】

Shu Hua simply asked, "How did you get the square root 754?"

Jiang Yu said, "The square of 25 is 625. Do you know this?"

Shu Hua paused, "I know."

【Haha, after the bigshot said it, I understand. 】

Jiang Yu continued, "So the square something to get around 700 is above 25. The square of 26 is 676. The square of 27 is 729. The square of 28 is 784. 754 is between 729 and 784. Then the square root is between 27 and 28. Take the middle value 27.5 and square it, 756.5. This password is an integer, so it should be rounded. The answer is 27.5."

【En, it sounds pretty simple. 】

【Yeah, it's not difficult at all...it's not difficult my head! Putting aside the square of 25, how can you just open your mouth and come up with the square of 26, 27, and 28? 】

【I couldn’t help but press the calculator when I do 27+27. Her square of 27 sounded like 1+1. 】

【Come, come, those who said the other party cheated earlier, does your face hurt? Can you prove it? 】

【Hahahaha, the fun part is here! The program team can only bully the bigshots on such matters. 】

While the audience was having a heated discussion, Jiang Yu and the others walked to the first stairwell. The old-fashioned teaching building had one-sided classrooms, with a stairwell to the east and west. There was no lighting. The place looked dark and inexplicably laced with chill.

Year 3 Class 9 was at the eastern end. For some reason the classrooms in front all have their curtains drawn. The walls on the other side were probably very high to prevent students from messing around and getting in danger. A row of glass inlaid on the top. It hadn’t been wiped for too long and thick dirt had accumulated. Most of the sunlight was blocked out and a dark filter was casted on the corridor, like the gray and dull beginning of a horror movie. There was an eerie feel that something terrible was about to occur.

Jiang Yu and Shu Hua, who were walking at the front, unconsciously slowed down. Ye Yuanyu's expression remained unchanged and he looked to the west, "It's over there." 

He said, "The others are all four characters, "Year 3 Class X". Only the one at the end has three characters. It should be the office."

Shu Hua looked into the far distance with some repulsion and remarked, "What if it's the 'bathroom'?"

Ye Yuanyu glanced at her, "This old-fashioned teaching building has no water supply and drainage. The bathrooms are all built outside."

Unconvinced, Shu Hua wrinkled her nose.

Xiang Chen saw this and smiled, "You two haven’t solved the problem yet? Lats time, that No. 67 wasn’t instigated by Yuan Yu."

Of course Shu Hua refused to admit it, "Who said I have a beef with him? This miss have a broad mind."

Xiang Chen laughed and shook his head, and looked at Qin Shiyu. Qin Shiyu casually nodded, "Let's go."

Anyone who had watched "All Rounder" knew that Qin Shiyu normally slacked off in the team and only took action in two situations. One was when everyone couldn't solve the puzzle and he solved the answer in the end. The other was in scary environments such as darkness and high altitudes. This person who seemed to be fearless was like the backbone and made people feel at ease.

Just like this time. Everyone subconsciously followed him and walked westward cautiously.

As a result, when they reached Year 3 Class 7’s entrance, a terrifying sound suddenly rang in the corridor. At the same time, the curtains in the classroom were opened and revealed a dozen or so green-faced, fanged, ferocious faces.

Immediately afterwards, countless random things were thrown out from inside, including waste paper balls, empty bottles, and rags. Jiang Yu followed Qin Shiyu and helplessly watched as he turned his head to avoid an empty bottle. He even raised his hand and caught a "bloody" finger. She silently retreated to the farthest distance.

Shu Hua and Jian Cang reacted much more violently. They happened to be walking on the  classroom side and were frightened. They screamed and acted in unison, moving away from the window and leaned against the wall on the other side. Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen also got out of the way.

Qin Shiyu had experience after all. He quickened his pace and reminded everyone, "Hurry up!"

Ye Yuanyu was the first to catch on and raised his feet to follow. However, Shu Hua was in shock and didn't hear anything. She subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab something, dragged it over, and blocked it in front of her.

Ye Yuanyu:......

The audience outside the screen instantly laughed like crazy:

【Hahahahaha, God Ye's aloof image collapsed so unexpectedly. 】

【I’m laughing so hard. Running Ye Yuanyu: Huh? Why am I suddenly unable to run? Not only is he unable to run, he is dragged back by his neck! Ha ha ha ha】

Ye Yuanyu, who was inexplicably used as a shield, couldn't pay heed to the various oncoming attacks. He stretched out his hand and grabbed his collar and said coldly, "Let go!"

However, Shu Hua was nervous and noticed that the thing in her hand was struggling. She pulled it tighter.

Ye Yuanyu:......

Why was this girl so strong!

Jian Cang, who was originally frightened at the side, saw Ye Yuanyu's appearance and stopped being scared. He laughed so hard that he fell down. Then he saw Jiang Yu, who was silently hiding next to Shu Hua, and moved over.

Xiang Chen, who was holding on to the wall, walked over, patted Shu Hua and said, "Let go. Ye Yuanyu is about to be strangled to death."

His tone was calm and gentle. Shu Hua finally came to her senses. When she looked up, she saw a strong and smooth shoulder blade muscle - it was a bit beautiful.

Because the camera was capturing this funny scene, the sharp-eyed viewers discovered something almost immediately:

【Shu Hua, what did you see? Don't bask in your shyness! 】

Ye Yuanyu was wearing a loose black casual shirt today. The weather was hot in early July. He was wearing a vest underneath, so two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned. At this moment, it was pulled to the back by Shu Hua.  One can imagine how much was exposed.

Shu Hua quickly let go and said, "Sorry, I'm a little afraid of ghosts."

Ye Yuanyu angrily responded, "Is that a ghost?"

Jiang Yu whispered to help, "Actually, humans are scarier than ghosts."

Ye Yuanyu:......

【Hahaha, what she said makes sense. I can’t bear to blame. 】

Xiang Chen raised her hand to help Ye Yuanyu straighten his collar and said, "Okay, let's go quickly." 

He took advantage of the situation and stood behind him.

Ye Yuanyu:......

【Hahahaha, I was about to say that among this group of people, Lawyer Xiang is the gentlest. I didn’t expect that he can switch between white and black. 】

Looking at Ye Yuanyu's speechless expression, Xiang Chen motioned to him to look at the few people hiding behind him, "You're going to get a beating anyway. One matter can bother two people. Let's minimize the loss."

So Ye Yuanyu was at the front, Xiang Chen, Jian Cang, Shu Hua and Jiang Yu were hiding at the back. The long row pushed Ye Yuanyu to the window.

Ye Yuanyu coldly faced the ghost-masked NPC who was throwing things through the window.

NPC:……
