“What?!”
Shen Qiaoyu was about to go crazy. The crucial part was that she noticed the road ahead seemed to be a bridge slowly disconnecting as the countdown proceeded.
In other words, if they didn’t find the key to leave before time ran out, they would be trapped!
Realizing this, she hurriedly reached into those small wooden boxes, while Yan Shiqing nervously ran to the opposite side and searched with her towards the center.
The key must be in these wooden boxes lined up in a row!
However, every time they reached inside, they had to endure unknown fear.

She quickly grabbed Yan Shiqing’s hand and ran towards the broken bridge.
But Yan Shiqing’s face flushed red, and her hand that was touched by Shen Qiaoyu felt scorching hot. She hurriedly followed Shen Qiaoyu’s footsteps.
The bridge ahead had already separated by some distance.
Shen Qiaoyu rushed towards the broken bridge while anxiously telling Yan Shiqing, “I’ll jump over first, and then you jump over. I’ll catch you.”
As soon as the words fell, she swiftly jumped over and turned around, reaching out her hand towards Yan Shiqing, saying, “Come quickly.”
At some unknown point, Shen Qiaoyu had temporarily forgotten that she was her opponent and sincerely treated her as a teammate.
Yan Shiqing looked deeply at her.
It felt as though there was a great distance between the two, with raging flames below. If they were to fall, they would be irreversibly doomed.
Yet Shen Qiaoyu stood on the other side, extending her hand towards her and comforting her, saying, “Don’t be afraid.”
Like a moth to a flame, she charged straight ahead.
She jumped over the burning abyss, almost falling, but Shen Qiaoyu held onto her, pulling her into her arms. However, due to the force of her charge, they were both knocked backward, and they fell to the ground together.
At that moment, when she was held in her arms, Yan Shiqing’s eyes were filled with tears.
Over these years, it felt like there was an insurmountable chasm between her and Shen Qiaoyu, with intense flames below, making it impossible for her to move forward.
But how she yearned to go to her, even if it meant risking everything like a moth to a flame.
And now, she had jumped over, and Shen Qiaoyu caught her. Their bodies collided firmly, tightly pressed against each other as they fell to the ground, simultaneously exhaling a sigh of relief. It was as if all the tension from before had dissipated, leaving only the joy of completing the mission.
Shen Qiaoyu even chuckled lightly. “You know what? It’s quite fun.”
“It wouldn’t be fun if we had failed,” Yan Shiqing looked up and smiled at her. “Do you remember who screamed when the toy hand in the box grabbed them?”
As she spoke, she naturally rolled over, lying side by side with Shen Qiaoyu.
Shen Qiaoyu blushed and awkwardly said, “Come on, anyone would react that way in such a tense situation.”
“I wasn’t scared, I just didn’t react in time.”
“Yep, you’re right,” Yan Shiqing’s smile became even more charming.
Shen Qiaoyu noticed her smile as she stood up, feeling like she was a young girl in her prime, radiant and dazzling, lacking that sense of maturity but with a touch of recklessness.
Speaking of which, during high school, it seemed like she wore a mask. Although she always smiled, that smile didn’t reach her eyes, as if she were a puppet controlled by someone else, appearing unreal.
But now, things were much better.
She stood up and shone her flashlight ahead, only to find that it wasn’t a door but another strange checkpoint.
In that instant her brows furrowed, Yan Shiqing whispered to her below, “Can you pull me up?”
She instinctively pulled her up, their hands held together, but immediately let go.
Yan Shiqing caressed the spot where their hands had been and followed her to the next checkpoint in a good mood.
This checkpoint turned out to be a spring horse, with a thin tube attached to the lower end of the horse, and at the other end of the tube was a balloon. Inside the balloon was a key, enclosed by a glass cover that made it impossible to touch what was inside.
What does this mean?
At that moment, Yan Shiqing snatched the key from her hand and used it to activate the spring horse, then climbed onto it.
It turned out that when the switch was activated, the spring horse would be pressed downward by gravity, and the balloon would be filled with air, just like how an air pump works.
So, if the balloon were to burst, would they be able to get the key?
However, this spring horse was too large and cumbersome. Yan Shiqing sitting on it only caused it to sink a little.
Shen Qiaoyu furrowed his brows.
While Yan Shiqing sat on the horse, she looked at her and asked, “How about it?”
“Just as you thought,” Shen Qiaoyu replied as she walked over and stepped on the pedal, also sitting on the horse.
With her added weight, the horse finally descended a bit.
She frowned and complained, “Whoever designed these checkpoints has quite the imagination.”
“And also, why is there a groove for seating on this horse? Are they afraid someone will fall off?”
It turned out that the seat groove on the spring horse was just enough for two people to sit, even a bit cramped, squeezing their buttocks onto one seat.
