The secret chamber of national destiny, the design of the ancestral home, you're building the Z

It's only been a short while, and this seemingly simple secret room has already caused the Sakura Kingdom to lose two of its top generals. This is simply unacceptable.

Yamamoto Ichiro was all smiles just a moment ago, but now his face is ashen.

Other countries also remained silent, afraid that if they said anything more, Zhang Qilin would be lured away again.

The introduction of "ghosts" into a historical escape room is so explicit and devastating for the first time, it's a devastating blow to unprepared adventurers.

This design, which breaks conventional thinking, reveals its devastating power at first glance.

Feng Shui turns.

This time, it was finally the Great Xia's turn to hold their heads high!

The delegates cheered excitedly.

Yamamoto Ichiro felt extremely uncomfortable watching this scene.

Not long ago, they were the ones celebrating, but now, in just a short while, the tables have turned.

"Don't be too smug! Miss Koeko is a once-in-a-century genius in our Sakura Kingdom! She has led teams to conquer no fewer than three supernatural, nightmare-level secret chambers! She knows the characteristics, weaknesses, and countermeasures of all kinds of ghosts and monsters like the back of her hand! This mere underwater vengeful spirit is just taking advantage of our unpreparedness! Once Miss Koeko goes down, she will definitely find a way to break through and strike at the heart of the problem!"

In order to save face, Yamamoto Ichiro had no choice but to make some harsh remarks.

Park Guk-chang's eyes darted around. "According to the rules, no obstacle should be unsolvable. This Forbidden Woman is hidden underwater; she's simply beyond human capability to deal with. This doesn't conform to the rules!"

However, he didn't dare to make a fuss, for fear that Zhang Qilin would label him as questioning the Mystic God again.

"There must be a way to deal with the forbidden women somewhere, but it just hasn't been discovered yet. Yes, that must be it!" Park Guk-chang immediately began to investigate.

After all, if the Sakura Kingdom really fails, they are very likely to encounter this secret room. At that time, it will be an opportunity to destroy the Great Xia Dynasty, which they absolutely cannot miss.

"Damn it, if only Japan had lost. Too bad, that Koeko probably won't fall for it so easily. Sigh!"

But considering Ko Hye-ho's abilities, Park Guk-chang didn't have high hopes.

The deaths of two top explorers from Japan have also caused a huge uproar online.

[Baka! This isn't fair! It's a historical story, but they put a demon in it. What is this if not cheating?]

[Haha, are all Japanese people out of their minds? When asked which rule you broke, you stammer and stammer, and when you lose, you say you cheated. That's so typical of you Japanese people.]

[Hmph, don't be too happy yet. This thing is only useful the first time. Once people are on guard, it's nothing. What kind of forbidden woman is this? Just a water ghost. It can't possibly stop Miss Hezi.]

[Heh, I bet when you Japanese people die and are cremated, you'll still have a mouth left.]

……

Despite their verbal sparring, both sides' audiences were on the edge of their seats. The people of Daxia saw hope, but feared it would be short-lived; the people of Sakura, though stubborn, couldn't hide their deep concern about whether Koeko could handle this unknown terror.

……

Koeko and Koe Saburo inspected the area, but they didn't find anything useful.

"It seems that the Zhang family's ancient building should be located beneath this large lake!" Gu Huihezi confirmed.

Koei Saburo looked at the lake with some unease: "Miss Kazuko, my eldest and second brothers have been down there for over an hour... Based on the standard gas cylinder capacity and underwater activities, even if we were to be extremely economical, they should be heading back or needing to refuel by now."

Koeko, on the other hand, remained calm. "Since the lake's water level rises and falls with the tides, it must be extremely deep. Let's wait and see!"

The two of them then began to wait.

However, after waiting for almost an hour, Koheko's eyes slowly narrowed.

Koei Saburo's face darkened further. "A 12-liter gas cylinder can only last for 90 minutes at most, and almost two hours have passed. Even if they are experienced and use it sparingly, it's definitely gone!"

Koeko stood up abruptly. "Looks like something's happened!"

"Hehe..." Instead of showing sadness or anger, Koheko chuckled softly, her laughter carrying the excitement and fighting spirit of someone facing a formidable opponent. "Interesting. In less than two hours, you've already cost me two of your most capable men... This 'Zhang Family Ancient Building' truly deserves its 'nightmare-level' rating. Only now should I take it seriously."

Koe Saburo looked somewhat sad, but he didn't think about rushing down to save the person, even though the person was his family.

These cherry blossom people are detached from emotions; their only concern is conquering the secret room.

"Miss Hezi, what do we do next? There's definitely danger down there, and for my eldest and second eldest brothers to perish there, it must be something extraordinary!"

Koeko nodded. "Ordinary mechanisms wouldn't be a problem for them. It seems this isn't an ordinary setup!"

She thought for a moment, then took the backpack out again. "Something's definitely up to no good. Let's check these things again; maybe we'll find something!"

"Hi!"

Koe Saburo also hurriedly took out everything from his backpack to check.

Seeing this, Zhang Qilin narrowed his eyes slightly.

"As expected of a top-tier explorer, their control over rules and details has reached the pinnacle. Interesting!"

Koe Saburo searched through the items, but found nothing.

However, Koeko saw the bottle of blood, took it out, and stared at it carefully.

"Miss Kazuko, is there something wrong with this blood? Isn't it just food to replenish energy?" Koe Saburo asked, puzzled.

Koeko didn't answer immediately. She dipped her finger in the mixture, rubbed it to observe, and then smelled the lingering scent on her fingertip. A knowing yet slightly amused smile slowly curved her lips.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is probably dog ​​blood. Have you ever seen anyone eat dog blood?"

"Dog blood? No way!" Koe Saburo also opened the bottle and could smell a pungent bloody odor, but he couldn't tell what kind of blood it was.

"There's no mistake. I've been into many eerie escape rooms, and black dog blood is one of the most basic exorcism items. This smell is definitely the right one!" Koheko was certain.

"Still black dog blood? But...but this is a historical drama! How could black dog blood, used for exorcism, appear here? Could it be that the designer just randomly put it in to mislead the audience?"

Koheiko shook her head, her eyes sharp: "No. In escape room design, especially high-difficulty escape rooms, any item approved and materialized by the 'God of Escape Rooms' and given to the challenger is never useless. It is either a tool, a clue, or... a component of some kind of hint or solution."

Koeko stared at the bottle of black dog blood. "History, the supernatural...hmm, this is interesting..."
