Aiyou de Mishi (Aiyou's Secret Room / X&Y / X and Y)

The door is locked.

What's happening?

Shall we call the police?

Why call the police?

It's pretty obvious what's happening right now.

This escape game

has officially started.

Without the sun

It's like a white night

Get over the absurd

Well...

You are...

Me?

I joined the company earlier than you.

You've just started working here. How are you holding up?

Would you like to get some fresh air

and grab something to eat?

Good timing.

I feel like I'm about to be buried in paperwork.

Actually, I joined the company just three months earlier than you.

When I was an intern,

I was assigned to keep track of an order schedule.

But I only learned until the delivery date

that the factory was short of materials,

let alone deliver products.

My supervisor shifted the blame and made me the scapegoat.

And half a month's salary of mine was deducted.

As rookies, we've got to accept whatever comes.

There's no other choice.

By the way, I don't know your name yet.

I'm Hu Zhi.

My name is Yan Yuechu. Thank you for your advice.

It starts to rain.

Let's take shelter here.

Wait.

Not here.

The rain came so fast.

This place is weird.

We'd better leave as soon as the rain stops.

Weird? How?

XY?

Is this a bar or a club?

Neither.

This is an escape room.

I heard many accidents have happened here.

It's said the owner can perform hypnotism or some sort of black art.

It can make the gamers so bewitched by the beauty of the owner

that they'd even dream about her every night.

Self-deprecation marketing like this is very common nowadays.

Come on.

Let's check out who this owner is.

My treat.

Are you sure?

This place is so creepy.

We'd better stay outside.

It's different from other escape rooms.

The front desk is inside.

I think we should leave.

This place is a little scary.

Harbor resentment for a past encounter.

When can you resolve the puzzle?

Welcome to X&Y‘s Escape Room.

My name is Xu Aiyou.

Thanks for coming.

I heard quite a few rumors about your escape room.

Yes, so did I.

If my customers always have accidents,

how come I haven't been arrested yet?

Perhaps because you cover it up very well.

Our settings are very lifelike.

So many people would have nightmares after the game.

I assume that's how the rumors started.

Don't worry. This place has passed the fire safety inspection

and the safety inspection of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

It's perfectly safe.

What themes do you have?

You can't pick themes here.

To make sure our customers have an all-round experience

and come back again,

everyone has to start from the easiest level.

After you pass the level,

you can play the next theme.

It's unique indeed.

Since there's nothing to pick, then let's get it started.

The rules are simple.

You'll be locked in a closed space,

where you need to crack puzzles according to hints.

You can escape the room once the access is unlocked.

You'll be rewarded with a prize when you succeed.

There are not tricks placed on a high or low spot.

You are not allowed to destroy any objects by force.

Wherever there's an access,

there's a way to open it.

And now,

please sign the Disclaimer Agreement, gentlemen.

You don't have any condition such as heart disease, high blood pressure,

or claustrophobia that's not suitable for escape game, do you?

No.

No.

Good.

Then let me confirm again.

Mr. Hu Zhi,

and Mr. Yan Yuechu.

That's me.

The game duration is one hour. 80 Yuan each person.

If you need extra time, you'll have to pay extra.

The red button on the walkie-talkie is for help.

You can ask for hints three times.

The white button is for team communication.

Any question?

Hello, guys,

we've got two new customers. Please get it ready.

Is that so? That's bad.

I'm sorry, gentlemen.

There's a problem with the circuitry. It's being repaired right now.

How long will it take?

I'm afraid it can't be fixed today.

I'm so sorry.

How disappointing.

It's an accident.

I'll give you a discount when you come again.

Sorry about this time.

I guess it's not meant to be today.

Tsk.

It's still early.

Would you like to have a drink somewhere?

What's wrong?

Do you need to place the walkie-talkie against your ear like using a cell phone?

Why is the light out?

What's going on?

As I expected,

the door is locked.

What's happening?

Shall we call the police?

Why call the police?

It's pretty obvious what's happening right now.

This escape game

has officially started.

You mean

she was lying when she said

there was a problem with the circuitry?

Yep.

Otherwise, why did she

ask the staff to get ready in a hurry

after she explained the rules to us?

Customer is king.

Would you make the "king" wait?

She would explain the rules while they were getting ready inside.

That makes sense.

Let's go back and take a look.

The agreement and the walkie-talkies.
