Chapter 645 They Look Nice Together
When Leanna and Zoe arrived, the recording had already been going on for half an hour and there
were only ten minutes left before the time was up to leave the room, but the celebrities inside were still
clueless and had not found any clues.
In fact, they had only decoded some irrelevant stuff.
Since Daphne had told the production team in advance and had the assistant wait for Leanna and Zoe
at the door, the director allowed them to sit on the couch and watch the monitor screen.
There were no photographers and only cameras that could highlight the tension.
Charlotte was obviously seeing this recording scene for the first time and was scared by the realistic
setup. She held onto Leanna's arm tightly as if watching a horror movie.
Zoe stared at the screen and exclaimed softly, "Ah, isn't that the recently popular hot male actor? He's
also here! Can I get his autograph later?"
The director smiled and said, "You are Ms. Daphne's friends. So of course, you can."
Zoe nodded, feeling proud for the first time.
At that moment, the camera suddenly moved over to Daphne.
Louis was standing beside her, and they were both taking books from the bookshelf.
Zoe suddenly grabbed Leanna's hand, her face full of excitement.
Leanna asked, "What's up?"
Zoe said, "Don't you think this looks like a plot from a school idol drama? The male and female leads
meet in the library, and the female lead takes the book the male lead wanted to borrow. As they turn
around, their eyes meet, and sparks fly!"
Leanna and the director were speechless.
The director coughed. "Um, our show is an escape room game with elements of horror, so it's not really
related to school idol dramas…"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBesides, the horror setup here was quite realistic, so how could she even see sparks flying?
But to be honest, Daphne and Louis looked really good together.
Recently, there were a lot of dramas about older woman-younger man relationships. If they could get
cast in a drama like that together, it was bound to be a hit.
Leanna held onto Zoe to calm her down.
As the time ticked down and the three-person teams grew more and more anxious, Tina finally got up
slowly after sitting for half an hour. She walked around the room as if she were a queen and casually
flipped through the things on the desk to indicate that she had looked through them, providing potential
footage for later editing.
With only three minutes left, the alarm suddenly went off, causing the actress from the web drama to
cry out in fear. She held onto the male actor's arm subconsciously, choking out, "What do we do now?
Are we trapped here?"
The male actor was also panicking. After all, the director said that this recording was to be realistic and
the punishment would be more severe than in previous seasons before they entered the room.
He tried to comfort her, "We still have three minutes, so don't give up."
The actress said, "But this first room is already so difficult; what should we do about the rest?"
Tina said impatiently, "What's the point of crying? I can't stand these new actors who are too weak and
think they're big shots without having done anything. They think they're already popular and the entire
industry is all messed up because of them."
The actress was already scared. Now, she felt wronged too. Hence, she couldn't cry out loud and could
only silently sob.
Tina wasn't worried about the punishment at all; she didn't believe that the production team would trap
them all here and leave them to die.
After all, variety shows all had scripts.
If they still couldn't crack it when the time was up, the production team would just enter and crack it for
them.
With only one minute left, a sound suddenly came from beside the bookshelf, and a hidden door slowly
appeared in everyone's sight. The alarm then stopped.
Daphne walked over to the actress and handed her a packet of tissues. "It's okay; we can leave now."
The male actor praised from the bottom of his heart, "Ms. Daphne, you're amazing!"
In the next moment, everyone's eyes were on Louis.
Louis didn't react much and just said calmly, "Let's go."
He turned around and was the first to walk through the hidden door.
Daphne followed him.
The female actress, still sobbing, ran to Daphne's side and went in third.
The male actor and the male celebrity followed suit.
Tina, with a sour expression, stood in the empty room for a few minutes before reluctantly walking
forward.
When they came out of the door, the production crew was waiting for them. They would then take a
short break, touch up their makeup, and continue with the next recording.
After the editing, the production team would cut the scene to make it look like they went straight into the
next room after coming out of the previous one.
The female actress couldn't hold back her emotions anymore and burst into tears.
At this moment, her assistant and some production staff went up to comfort her.
They had seen what happened inside, but they couldn't say anything to Tina, who had a powerful
status.
Tina pretended to scold the actress, but in reality, she was mocking Louis in order to vent her anger
about what happened before.
The male celebrity patted Louis' shoulder and said, "Louis, you're great."
Louis nodded slightly in response.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLater, Daphne walked over to Leanna and Zoe and picked up a glass of water, drinking as she asked,
"When did you two arrive?"
Leanna replied, "Not too long ago. How was the recording?"
Daphne said, "Don't even mention it. Mere 40 minutes killed billions of my brain cells. If it weren't for
your brother, we wouldn't have made it out today."
As they were talking, Louis walked over.
Just as he stood still and before he even spoke, a girl from the production team rushed over and
handed him a bottle of water. "I-I noticed that you didn't bring an assistant, so please have this water to
drink," she said.
"Thank you, but I'm good," Louis replied.
Upon hearing this, the girl didn't insist and left disappointed.
Louis sat next to Leanna, picked up the untouched bottle of water in front of him, opened it, and took a
few sips.
Leanna asked, "How are you doing with the recording?"
"What do you mean?" Louis responded.
"I mean, is it going well?"
"It's not that difficult," Louis replied with a nod.
The production team had probably done some research on Louis beforehand, which was why they had
upgraded the difficulty with the aim to confuse him and not make it too easy for them to solve it.
If they were to follow the usual standards, the group should have figured it out by now.
Daphne sighed. "I was worried that my lack of intelligence would be exposed in this program, but
luckily I found someone to rely on. Louis, we're counting on you. I will always believe in you!"
Suddenly, Louis choked on the water in his throat and coughed lightly.
Leanna's lips curved up, and she changed the topic at the right time. "I brought some fruits and cakes
for you guys. Have some."
