When Stella and Sherry arrived, the filming had started for half an hour. Only ten minutes were left for
them to leave the room. All the entertainers here were still looking for the clues in confusion.
They only resolved something that was not important at all.
Since Winnie had informed the program team earlier and also sent her assistant to wait at the gate,
when Stella and Sherry arrived, the director directly asked them to sit on the sofa and watch the
screen.
There were no cameramen in the room but only cameras, so the tense atmosphere was evident.
Obviously, this was the first time Elaine watched such a filming scene, so she was scared by the filming
set. She had been holding Stella’s arm all the time as if she was watching a horror movie.
Sherry gazed at the screen and said in a low tone that carried some excitement, “Ah! Isn’t he the most
popular actor? He’s also there! May I ask him for an autograph later?”
The director smiled and said, “You are friends of Ms. Truman. Of course! No problem.”
Sherry nodded. For the first time, she felt proud.
Suddenly, the camera focused on Winnie.
Channing was standing next to her. They were taking off the books from the bookshelf.
Sherry suddenly grabbed Stella’s hand in excitement.
Stella looked at her in confusion.
Sherry said, “Look! Doesn’t this scene look like the school idol drama? The hero and heroine met in the
library. The heroine took away the book that the hero wanted to borrow. When they turned around and
looked into each other’s eyes, there were sparkles of love in the air.”
The director and Stella were agape.
After coughing, the director explained, “Our program is the program of a secret room escape. It has the
horror elements but has nothing to do with the school idol drama...”
Besides, all the decorations in the filming set were quite real. He wondered how come Sherry would
see the sparkles of love.
However, he had to admit that the two were pretty eye-catching in the same frame.
Recently, soap operas about the romance between a woman with a younger man were quite popular.
The director believed that if Channing and Winnie acted in one, it would also be quite popular.
Stella pressed Sherry, suggesting her to calm down.
On the screen, time was almost up. The other three entertainers became panicked, but they failed to
find any clue.
Flora, who had been sitting there for half an hour, finally stood up. She proudly walked around the room
a few times and randomly checked the things on the desk, meaning that she had looked for the clues.
Also, the program team could have her filming for the post-editing.
When there were only three minutes left, an alarm sounded in the room. Upon hearing it, the actress
who acted in an online drama series burst into tears in fear. Subconsciously, she grabbed the arm of
the actor next to her and said between sobs, “What should we do now? We can’t escape, can we?”
The actor was panicked as well. After all, before they came in, the director said that it was a reality
show, and he wanted to guarantee the realness, so the punishment would be more severe than any
previous season.
He comforted her, “We still have another three minutes. Don’t give up.”
The actress said, “We’re just in the first room, but it’s already so difficult. What should we do next?”
Flora chimed in unhappily, “Stop crying! What’s the use of shedding tears? I truly don’t like the
newcomers. Too fragile, sometimes too arrogant. They haven’t done anything yet, but they’ve already
thought themselves A-list. What unhealthy tendencies there are!”
The actress was quite frightened. After hearing Flora’s blame, she felt so aggrieved. However, she
dared not to cry out aloud, so she only sobbed in silence.
Flora wasn’t panicked about the so-called punishment at all. She didn’t believe that the program team
would trap all the show guests here forever.
Upon her experienced, the reality show always had a play script behind it.
If they couldn’t resolve the puzzle, the program team would definitely come in and help them.
When there was only one minute left, they heard a sound next to the shelf. An invisible door slowly
appeared in front of them. The alarm also stopped.
Winnie walked to the sobbing actress and handed her a pack of tissue, “It’s alright. We can leave this
room now.”
The actor praised happily, “Ms. Truman, you are indeed awesome!”
Winnie smiled and said, “I did nothing. He resolved it.”
The next second, all people’s gazes fell on Channing.
Channing kept calm and said, “Let’s move on.”
He turned around and walked into the invisible door first.
Winnie followed him.
Sobbing, the actress trotted to Winnie and followed her in.
The male star and the actor also walked in.
Flora looked quite annoyed. She stood motionlessly in the empty room for a few minutes. Then she
lifted her foot and stepped forward.
After they came out of the door, they saw the program team waiting outside.
The entertainers would take a break and fix their makeup before continuing to shoot.
Later during the post-editing phase, they would look as if they entered the next one right after they had
escaped this room.
The actress failed to control her grievance, crying more loudly.
Her assistant and the deputy director rushed up to comfort her.
They had seen what had happened in the room. However, Flora was a famous senior, so they couldn’t
criticize her at all.
When Flora was blaming the actress, she was actually implying Channing just for venting her anger
earlier.
The male star standing next to Channing, patting him on his shoulder, “Good job, bro.”
Channing nodded slightly in response.
Right then, Winnie walked to Stella and picked up a glass of water. While drinking, she asked, “When
did you gals arrive?”
Stella answered, “A few minutes ago. How do you like it so far?”
Winnie said, “Ah! In the short forty minutes, almost a billion of my brain cells have been killed. If it
weren’t for Channing, we might not be able to escape today.”
When they were chatting, Channing came over.
As soon as he stopped, before speaking, a girl from the program team trotted over and handed him a
bottle of water, “It... It seems you don’t have an assistant. Please drink this water.”
Channing said, “No, but thank you.”
The girl didn’t insist, leaving in disappointment.
Channing sat next to Stella. He opened a bottle of water in front of her, raised his head, and gulped
down.
Stella asked, “How is it going?”
“What?”
“Filming. Are you OK with it?”
Channing put down the water and hummed, “Yeah. Not quite difficult.”
The program team should have investigated Channing before, so they had upgraded the difficulties.
Targeting Channing, they also increased some misleading clues to trouble him so they couldn’t escape
from the room so quickly.
Otherwise, they would have come out a long time ago if the difficulty was the same as before.
Winnie said, “I was so worried my intelligence would be exposed on the program. Thank God! I can
group with Chan! I’ll rely on you, Chan! I believe you forever!”
Channing was choked up by the water suddenly. He coughed.
Stella curled up her lips into a smile. She changed the subject, “I’ve brought you some fruits and cakes.
Please have some.”
