Chapter 24 Rescue the Hostages
Since they decided to go to the chemistry laboratory, they got up and prepared to go out to find the location of the chemistry laboratory.
"Shouldn’t there be a floor plan?" Ye Yuanyu said as he opened the office door. Then he discovered a new problem: "It seems like we can't get out."
Jian Cang hurriedly stepped forward, bent down, took a look through the gap, and exclaimed in surprise, "The door is locked from the outside! How do we open it? Can't open it even if we have a key."
The group subconsciously looked at the windows, only to realize that the windows in the office were sealed, which meant that they were trapped in the office.
Shu Hua sighed and expressed her understanding, "It seems that Zhang Diyi doesn't want us to rescue Li Zhen easily. What should we do next?"
She immediately turned to Jiang Yu and saw Jiang Yu staring at the row of filing cabinets opposite the window, wondering what she was thinking.
"Elder Sister Yu?"
Jiang Yu walked to the filing cabinet and leaned forward to knock on the wall behind the filing cabinet. Everyone heard a thumping sound, which meant that the back was hollow. She said, "There should be a passage here."
Everybody:? ? ? ?
How did you come to this conclusion?
Before Jiang Yu could speak, Qin Shiyu explained for her, "The width of the office is narrower than that of the classroom."
This teaching building wasn’t a special shape, so the length of a row of rooms on the entire floor may be different, but the width should be exactly the same.
Jiang Yu couldn't help but glance at him. Qin Shiyu stretched out two fingers and made a gesture in front of his eyes, "Visual inspection." Then he smiled slightly and said, "I also have an architect friend."
Jiang Yu:……
This was mocking her.
She was a little confused. What was up with him? It seemed as if he was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her today.
Jiang Sheng's nonsense was something he brought on himself and it was already in the past. Later, she solved Zheng Wenwen’s rumor. When Chen Yalian talked about wanting to stir a CP, she promised that there would be no problem. With his couldn’t-bothered-to-care character, there was absolutely no reason to target her!
When Qin Shiyu said this, others remembered what happened at Orange Film and Television Building last Saturday. En, they remembered the embarrassing scene after coming out of the employees’ tunnel and quickly immersed themselves in finding something to do and expressed it with actions that they ‘don't understand what they are talking about’. "What happened? Does Jiang Yu know an architect friend? We don't remember it at all. We probably weren’t present at the time."
Ye Yuanyu ‘did his best’ to recall the situation earlier in the Class 9 classroom and said, "There are eight desks in a row in the classroom. Adding two aisles, there will be about ten or so. And this..." He directly moved the desk in the corner to carefully measure, "It's only eight and a half away. More than one meter missing."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Chen walked to the wall and started groping around, "So there is a passage behind this that can accommodate one person."
Jian Cang rolled up her sleeves and said, "Then move the cabinets?"
Shu Hua said positively, "I'll help."
【There is something amiss with them. It feels like they are doing something behind our backs? 】
【Is there anything that us distinguished VIP members cannot know? 】
【Ask Jian Darling when he livestream. 】
No matter what, once one knew the goal, things got done much faster. There were only six iron cabinets on one wall. The boys stepped forward and moved the cabinets easily. As expected, when they moved the fourth cabinet, they saw a small door with the same color as the wall. And there was a code lock nearby.
The kidnapper's angry voice sounded from the loudspeaker in the corner, "Damn it, they actually found the entrance to the secret passage! Hmph! Call Old Sixth and get her to make the password more difficult and use the root number! We will definitely trap them all to death here!"
Then there was a voice connecting to the audience.
After everyone heard the words, they halted for a moment before simultaneously looking at Jiang Yu:...
Jiang Yu:……
【Hahaha, this is definitely revenge from the program team! 】
【Program team: Butt head with them! Must make them use calculators to solve problems! 】
【And I’m smarter this time. The question completely relies on listening. So the bigshot will never be able to finish the questions in advance. 】
【This time, who is Old Sixth? 】
【If they use a calculator to calculate, it actually doesn’t matter who asks the questions. 】
【I don’t care if the questions are effective or not, the main reason is to appear in a show with the great gods and say hello. 】
Soon, a girl's excited voice came from the loudspeaker, "Ahhhhh, hello, Great Master! Let me question you!"
The kidnapper said, "Very good. Come, give me a nine-digit number and let them square root the number!"
At the same time, Shu Hua, who was looking for paper and pen to write down questions, found a calculator from a desk and examined it carefully, "Hey, this seems to be the same as the one in the classroom just now?"
She pressed it again, " No batteries either.”
【The program crew's deliberate revenge is confirmed. They didn't even replace a calculator and secretly placed it while they were being "bullied" in the corridor. 】
【Program team: So what if you skip a level, I will definitely let you make it up! 】
【Anyway, the battery must be found and the calculator must be pressed. This time I will definitely avenge the shame! 】
【Fighting, Old Sixth, live up to the expectations of the program team and stump them! Don't give them a chance to do mental arithmetic. 】
【It’s impossible to calculate the root of nine digits mentally, right? 】
The girl on the line obviously thought so too. Still, she was probably a little excited and pondered hard about the kidnapper's request, "What level is the nine-digit number? Ten million or billion? Forget it, let me just recite the number, 123456789?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yu said, "The root is eleven thousand, one hundred, and eleven."
Kidnapper’s loudspeaker:……
Everyone:...
【Damn it! I got goosebumps! What's up with her? The answer is nonsense or correct. 】
【Oh her god, that's right! I just finished pressing the calculator. 】
【I, my language system is already going to be disordered. This works? 】
The connected girl exclaimed excitedly first, "Ahhhhh, God Yu! You, how did you calculate that!"
Then she said incoherently, "Ah, Bigshot, I didn't notice that your name has the same pronunciation as God Yu But I’m calling you, Jiang Yu’s Yu. God Yu, you are so awesome!”
After the shock, Shu Hua hugged Jiang Yu excitedly and said, "Bigshot, how did you figure it out? Instant answer! You are so awesome!"
Jian Cang simply wanted to bow down to Jiang Yu, "Bigshot, please accept my bow. I am blind but cannot recognize Mount Tai..."
Jiang Yu burst into laughter. Looking at the incredulous looks in other people's eyes, she smiled sheepishly, "I pressed the calculator before when I was bored and remembered the simple answer."
【……】
【Everyone was really shocked. They all have different reasons for being shocked. 】
【I seem to see the gap between me and the top students again. When I am bored, I watch videos. While the other party click on the calculator when they are bored. 】
Xiang Chen shook her head and laughed, "You are really scary."
Qin Shiyu glanced at the speaker lazily and said, "En, the kidnappers will be scared to tears. I'm afraid they will have to cheat and change the question."
Kidnapper:...
【Hahaha, God Yu is being sarcastic. Director group, do you have the shame to change the question? You won't really want to cheat again. 】
【Huh? Why use "again"]
【Haha, the bigshot has only recorded two episodes and the reputation of the "All Rounder" program team was almost gone. 】
However, the director group was obviously willing to go all out today. The kidnapper continued, "Old Sixth, come up with something complicated again and give them a cube root!"
It almost sounded like he was gritting his teeth.
The girl on the line seemed to have experienced the collapse of the battle of wits and courage between the director group and these great gods and laughed, "Elder Sister Yu, I won't hold back this time, 379864352. Cube root, come on!"
Ye Yuanyu recorded the numbers calmly, whileJian Cang said, "Then start looking for batteries?"
Jiang Yu took the paper in Shu Hua's hand and said, "You guys look for the battery, I'll try it."
【Damn, doing root with her bare hands! And the number is nine digits. Wait, the one she is doing is the cube root! Is this something humans can do? 】
【The bigshot is rebellious: I don’t need a calculator! 】
【The rebellion of a study scum: I need to use a calculator for addition; the rebellion of a top student: Don’t use a calculator when doing the cube root! 】
【Hahahahaha... Such a strange rebellion. 】
While the audience was amused and shocked, Ye Yuanyu took a pen and paper and sat down, "I'll give it a try too."
Seeing this, Jian Cang said, "Then I want to try too."
He turned around and went to find paper and pen.
Xiang Chen found a chair and smiled at Jian Cang, "Find me a set while you are at it."
【……】
【It turns out that this is the routine operation of top students. I am ignorant. I'm retreating. 】
【The top students are eager to win. Come, come! Welcome everyone to watch the program of doing roots with bare hands! 】
【Hahaha, the program team is going to cry. The button battery they hid is completely useless. 】
【Not necessarily, isn’t there our Shu Hua? 】
Shu Hua had already found a new set of pen and paper and handed it to Qin Shiyu, who had been slacking off at the side. She said, "Leave it to me to find the battery for the calculator. Let's see who can figure it out first!"
So the scene became Shu Hua rummaging around, while the other five people were immersed in solving problems.
"Huh?" Shu Hua suddenly found a briefing note from a book, "History of Yingcai High School? Yingcai High School was renovated and built on the site of the Girls' High School in 1932. In order to avoid the danger of war chaos, the school built a secret passage for students to hide in it..."
There was an architectural design drawing attached at the back.
She compared the left and right before looking at the entrance they had found, "Is this the passage? Isn't this clue a bit redundant?"
She checked it carefully again and threw it away after confirming that it was of no use.
【……】
【What is redundant? This is a normal clue, okay? 】
【So, they just skipped the level again [crying laugh emoji]. They should have found the passage through this clue. 】
【As a result, they discovered the problem just by looking at the size of the classroom...】
【The program team is really going to cry. Normally people desperately look for clues, while them, they actually feel that the clues are redundant. 】
【It is strongly recommended not to assign B-level tasks to them in the future. Jiang Yu is simply a game hack. If this continues, the recording will be completed in less than an hour, right? 】
【Fortunately, they are rebellious. Others rush to find clues when they break through the level. They think it is too easy and increase the difficulty. 】
【I don’t agree with this point of view. Maybe in their perception, this doesn’t count as an increase in difficulty? Maybe they really think that it is faster than finding the battery. 】
【Come on, let’s make a bet. When can they figure it out? 】
【I bet before your bet comes to fruition, they’ll be done with it...! ? Damn **! 】
Seeing Jiang Yu put down her pen, the audience wasn’t as surprised as before. They were even calm:
【...For some unknown reason, but I'm not surprised at all. Mom, I've grown up. 】
【En, I have grown up and seen the world of top students. 】
Until the cameraman gave them a close-up of the draft paper.
There were only a few clean numbers on it: 700=343..., 725=381...., and finally a 724 with a simple circle drawn on it, indicating that this was the answer.
【……】
【I’ve already said I’m tired of saying I’m surprised. Why do you want me to say it! ! ! 】
【En, I have new insights. 】
The cameraman scanned Qin Shiyu's draft paper nearby...
The audience gave another row of ellipses:
【… I would like to ask you, top students, whether it burns to write the steps? 】
【Are you sure these two aren’t using the same brain? Or is this the basic skill of you top students? 】
It turned out that Qin Shiyu's draft paper had the same numbers written on them as Jiang Yu's, but the handwriting was much sharper.
【To be honest, you guys didn’t need to write down the steps at all, right? You lowered yourself to write a few moves to take care of us, right? 】
【But you obviously didn’t take good enough care! ! We don’t understand it. Say, isn’t this hilarious? 】
【I think this has to wait until the edited version comes out and the program team explains it to us...]
【...Program team? 】
【Hahahaha, the program team says what kind of great doormat am I? I let you use a calculator but you didn’t use it. Now I have to explain the question for you. Can this work? 】
Amid the laughter of the audience, the camera began to move to other people’s draft papers...
【How come I’m secretly sighing in relief? 】
【+1, for a moment I feet that I’m not that useless. But then again, even if someone wrote three or four rows, it’s still doing root of 9-digit root. What’s more, a cube root. I’m a loser. 】
【Did you notice that their first calculation is all 700? Obviously the idea is the same. The only difference is the calculation speed. 】
【Looking at this, Xiang Chen is the slowest. Will probably take about ten minutes. 】
【It’s really faster than finding a battery. 】
The audience had approximately got it right. After about seven or eight minutes, Xiang Chen was the last one to put down his pen. He raised his head and exchanged gaze with each other. Different voice uttered the answer in unison, "724."
"Oh yeah!" Jian Cang jumped up in delight and high-fived everyone excitedly. Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Jiang Yu was infected by him and raised her hand to hit his palm. She couldn't help but curve her eyes.
【Let me see whose mouth is turning up? 】
【Hahaha, why do they make me so happy when they solve a question? 】
【How should I put it? I feel like they fit in well with each other this season. It’s like meeting a close friend over wine. You get it, right? 】
【Indeed, some things may feel ordinary when done alone, but when you are with good friends, it’s probably fun to do 3 + 3 right. 】
Jiang Yu raised her head and looked at the speaker.
【Is it my imagination, but is the speaker trembling? 】
【Hahaha, when you say that, I think so. 】
【Speaker: What are you, the big devil, thinking of doing? 】
Qin Shiyu looked up at the speaker and drawlingly spoke for Jiang Yu, "Have you changed the password? We're going to press it."
Jiang Yu:……
The loudspeaker:……
【Hahahaha, the director group feels humiliated. How can we make the same mistake a second time! 】
【God Yu, when did you become Elder Sister Yu’s mouth? 】
Shu Hua ran directly to press the password, successfully heard the "beep" sound, and declared happily, "It's open!"
The small door popped open. She jumped in and rapidly retreated back. She spoke in fear, "It's so dark inside!"
Then she looked at Qin Shiyu.
Qin Shiyu bent over and took a look, "In this case, those at the back will be in more danger. For example, if someone chases them or something."
Shu Hua shrank her neck and stood still.
Qin Shiyu said, "I'll cut off the rear. Someone bolder go to the front."
Everyone looked at Ye Yuanyu. At present, apart from Qin Shiyu, Ye Yuanyu seemed to be the more courageous one.
Ye Yuanyu stared at Shu Hua who immediately stood behind him, raised his hand, and started to button his shirt, "Jian Cang, follow me."
Shu Hua:......
【Hahaha, God Ye: I don’t want a female gangster to follow me. 】
【Boys should protect themselves when they are outside. 】
【Got to say, God Ye’s buttoning action is very nice. Doesn’t it look like a husband who is going out to work in the morning? 】
【Very good, I have the material for the dream tonight. 】
Shu Hua knew she was in the wrong and followed Jian Cang obediently. It went without saying Jiang Yu followed. Then she was followed by Xiang Chen and Qin Shiyu.
When they entered, Qin Shiyu saw Jiang Yu actually raised her hand and grabbed Shu Hua's clothes. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes... According to his current understanding, although this person doesn't like to talk, she had her own mind. She had always played the role of the leader. This kind of dependent action...
The group entered the passage one by one. It was really dark inside, especially after closing the door. They couldn't see their hands and fingers. Before they could figure out which way to go, they heard fierce shouts from outside, "They have entered the secret passage! Hurry and catch them."
Then the sound of the office door being unlocked was heard.
Qin Shiyu and Xiang Chen at the back quickly blocked the door. Shu Hua was so frightened that her brain became muddled. She asked anxiously, "What to do?"
Xiang Chen put his back against the door while groping around, "There seems to be something here."
"Something?" Jian Cang asked in shock, "What thing?!"
Xiang Chen quickly said, "No, it seems to be a table. It should be able to hold the door up."
"You scared me to death. I thought there was something else in the passage."
Qin Shiyu touched it and said, "There was only one, just find another one."
This passage was originally the width of a table and a half. Place one table horizontally and one table vertically, it can fill up the passage and tightly block the door.
Shu Hua, who was in front of Jiang Yu,instantly exclaimed in surprise, "I seem to have touched one! Here!"
As she said this, she wanted to move the table over.
Ye Yuanyu and Jian Cang groped over to help.
"Don't crowd in," Qin Shiyu said, "The passage is too narrow and there is no room to move."
Jiang Yu knew that she couldn't help in this state. So she stayed close to the wall and didn't move.
The "gangsters" outside opened the office door and rushed in. They began to threaten and fiercely banged. The group nervously wired together to push the table. After confirming that there was nothing the other party could do. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they heard them speak, "Old Third and Old Fourth, go and turn on the mechanism. Since they are in, they can stay in there forever and never come out!"
"A mechanism?" Jian Cang asked in surprise, "Is there a mechanism?"
Qin Shiyu said, "First move forward."
After a while, everyone's eyes began to adapt to the darkness. Coupled with the pressure from those outside who could knock the door open at any time, everyone huddled together and ran forward.
In the chaos, Jiang Yu couldn't tell who was who. She reached out and grabbed someone's clothes and followed. She felt the other person pause for a moment. She was about to let go and find someone else, the other party started walking forward again. It seemed that movement was difficult in the dark just now.
Until they walked about seven or eight meters forward, a faint light suddenly lit up in front of them. Everyone cheered in unison.
Only then did Jiang Yu notice that the person she was pulling on was Qin Shiyu. He was wearing a brown casual shirt over a T-shirt today. The material of the shirt was similar to that of Ye Yuanyu. Jiang Yu had thought that she had the worst luck and the person she was dragging was Ye Yuanyu. …
As expected, the unlucky king couldn't hold any hope. So Jiang Yu quickly let go.
Qin Shiyu didn't look back and seemed completely unaware of her movements until hearing Jian Cang’s worry, "It can't be the trap they mentioned is in the front? Or is it a flanking attack? Then aren't we being attacked from both sides?"
Qin Shiyu smiled and said, "Then we have to leave. We can't stay in this dark place forever. Besides, even if there are mechanisms, they are just props. Just think of it as making a movie. Wouldn't it be better to think about it this way?"
"Making a movie?" Shu Hua immediately became interested, "It's a bit like a tomb robbing machine. Haha, it must be thrilling."
Qin Shiyu let out an inexplicable laugh, "It's quite thrilling, but the theme of tomb robbing seems to be banned now and can’t be shown in the light."
Shu Hua was confused, "Huh? The theme of tomb robbing is banned? Why didn't I know?"
Qin Shiyu said, "Oh, it's a novel, not a film. I remembered it wrong."
Shu Hua was even more confused. With her brother's memory, could there be any mistakes?
However, Jiang Yu understood something: darkness that can’t see the light...film...forbidden material...
She felt like she knew why Qin Shiyu was targeting her today. She looked up and saw Qin Shiyu turning around and looking at her with a half-smile, "I heard you like watching film?"
Sure enough...
Jiang Yu was extremely shocked. She admitted that her chat yesterday was a deliberate attempt to tease Zhao Shunong. But Zhao Shunong's face was red and embarrassed at the time. She thought that the other party would at most convey her meaning. Never thought Xiao Shunong would mention the film? How did she say it?
Jiang Yu wants to turn you into a short film and put it in a computer hard drive that can never see the light?
Wasn’t it awkward for a man and a woman to discuss this topic? Wasn’t this a bit abnormal?!
The light in the passage was dim. Still, Qin Shiyu could clearly see the expression on Jiang Yu's face and almost instantly understood what she was thinking. Not seeing her guilty conscience, he ended up laughing in anger by himself. She always seemed to have the ability to transfer one's own embarrassment onto others.
He curved his eyes, "I heard it when you guys were discussing."
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment and immediately remembered the Bluetooth headset Zhao Shunong was wearing at the time. It turned out that she didn't forget after hanging up the first call, but secretly called Qin Shiyu again.
Tsk, the way of filing a complaint was quite advanced.
Like she said, Qin Shiyu couldn’t be that perverted.
Seeing Qin Shiyu staring at her, Jiang Yu blinked. People say that beauty looks better and better the more you look at it under the lamp. The halo in the distance gave his outline a bit of a cold and inviolable feel. She suddenly recalled the image of Qin Shiyu in the book who had a pure and ascetic heart, not close to women, and the image of being unattainable in the world...
After hesitating for a moment, she leaned closer and asked softly, "Do you like watching it?"
Qin Shiyu:......
The first thing that came to his mind was the experiment on adult movie viewing ratio that Jiang Yu mentioned. He knew about the experimental research and it was indeed not established. Normal people would watch it.
So, how should he answer?
