I put you in charge of the child, and you raised a monster!

Three minutes later.

A truly outrageous scene unfolded on the long street.

Zhao Lei was wearing a large beard mask.

Bai Sisi was wearing a rabbit mask.

Zhou Chen was wearing a scholar's mask.

Chen Hao was wearing a tiger mask.

Several children also held small masks.

Shen Ling'er put on a Nezha mask herself.

But she only wore it halfway, revealing a pair of bright and sassy little eyes.

Looking at his mask, Zhao Lei couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Ling'er, why do I have a big beard?"

Shen Ling'er: "You talk too much, you need to shut up."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi couldn't stop laughing.

"The distribution of these masks is very precise."

Chen Doudou held up the pig mask, quite pleased with herself.

Lin Jia: "You're quite proud of yourself."

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "His persona is stable."

The group laughed and went around to the back door of the mask shop.

This back door leads to a narrow alley.

It just so happens to avoid the main street.

On the main street, Huang Lei and Zhang Yixing deliberately slowed down, waiting for the parent-child team to catch up.

I waited for ages, but no one came.

Zhang Yixing asked in a low voice, "Brother, why aren't they here yet?"

Huang Lei frowned.

"She probably didn't take the main street."

Zhang Yixing: "Then where did she go?"

Huang Lei glanced at the mask shop next door and suddenly realized something.

"broken."

at the same time.

In the back alley.

Huang Bo and Wang Xun were crouching around the corner, ready to intercept the parent-child team.

Wang Xun whispered, "Brother Bo, will they come from here?"

Huang Bo laughed and said, "Teacher Huang said they would definitely be eager to get to the stage."

The voice just fell.

A group of masked people slowly walked past from another side road.

Huang Bo glanced at it but didn't pay much attention.

After the group of people passed by, Wang Xun suddenly blinked.

"Brother Bo, that guy with the big beard just now... didn't he look a bit like Zhao Lei?"

Huang Bo's expression froze.

He turned around abruptly.

The group of masked men was almost at the side door of the stage.

Huang Bo: "..."

Wang Xun: "Were we fooled by a child?"

Huang Bo took a deep breath.

"It wasn't the children who lied to us."

"We thought children wouldn't lie to us."

The live stream audience was in stitches.

"Hahaha, Huang Bo was fooled by the mask!"

Shen Ling'er: Change face. Old fox: Didn't see it.

"Huang Bo's summary is also very accurate; they underestimated the children."

"The seasoned veterans are starting to suffer."

"Shenfei teaches observation, but also the opposite of observation!"

The parent-child team arrived smoothly at the side gate of the stage.

The stage is very large.

The audience seats are in front.

Behind that are the dressing room and prop room.

Shen Ling'er stood below the stage and looked around.

Zhao Lei took off his mask, panting heavily.

Where is the key?

Shen Ling'er did not answer.

She went onto the stage.

The footsteps were very light.

Then it stopped in the center of the platform.

She glanced down at the floor.

"Someone has moved things here."

Zhao Lei immediately squatted down.

"where?"

Shen Ling'er pointed to the crack in the floor.

"The ash has broken."

Bai Sisi leaned closer.

There was indeed a small, discontinuous patch of dust in the floor seams.

It felt like something had gently grazed it.

Zhou Chen tried pressing the wooden board next to him.

Click.

A hidden compartment popped open.

There was a small wooden box inside.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Zhao Lei's voice changed with excitement.

"No way? We've found the golden key already?"

Shen Ling'er looked at the wooden box but did not reach out.

"no."

Zhao Lei was taken aback.

Why?

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "Too easy."

Chen Doudou blinked: "Isn't it easy?"

Shen Ling'er: "Easy meals might be leftovers from others."

Lin Jia: "..."

Zhao Lei glanced at the wooden box and suddenly tensed up.

"Is this a trap?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

She asked Zhao Lei to open the wooden box.

There was no golden key inside.

There is only one card.

The card reads:

"Congratulations on triggering a fake treasure chest. Stay in place for five minutes."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The production team was just about to announce the punishment.

Shen Ling'er looked up.

"He drove it."

Zhao Lei: "???"

Everyone looked at him.

Zhao Lei froze.

"No, Teacher Ling'er, you told me to drive it!"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "I didn't touch it."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed so hard she could barely stand.

"Zhao Lei, you've been used as a tool."

The production team announced: "Zhao Lei triggered a fake treasure chest and is frozen in place for five minutes."

Zhao Lei clutched his chest.

"I paid tuition, and now I have to go to jail?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"You talk too much, take a break."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The comments section erupted in laughter.

"Hahaha, Zhao Lei took the knife for Ling'er!"

"Teacher Ling'er: Tools should be used in the right place."

"Zhao Lei freezes for five minutes, and the show's effect increases fivefold."

"This child is really too clever; he doesn't fall into any traps at all."

"......."

Just then.

Huang Lei, Huang Bo, and others finally arrived at the stage.

Seeing Zhao Lei frozen in place, Sun Honglei burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you got arrested too!"

Zhao Lei looked at him.

"Brother Honglei, we're different."

Sun Honglei: "How is it different?"

Zhao Lei said with grief and indignation, "I was sacrificed by an organization."

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "You are useful."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Huang Bo clapped his hands with a smile.

"It's very useful, that's a high rating."

Huang Lei, however, did not laugh.

He looked at Shen Ling'er.

"You knew all along that this was a fake treasure chest?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

Huang Lei asked, "Then why did you open it?"

Shen Ling'er looked around the stage.

"Fake treasure chests can also be useful."

Huang Lei's eyes flickered.

"What's it for?"

Shen Ling'er pointed to the prop room.

"The place where the fake box is placed won't be too far from the real thing."

"To lie, you need people to believe it."

"If it's too far, you won't be able to fool them."

Huang Lei remained silent for a second.

Then they slowly began to applaud.

"sharp."

Huang Bo also stopped joking and nodded seriously.

"That logic is absolutely correct."

Sun Honglei was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

Wang Xun explained, "That means the fake treasure chest is there to stop people from finding the key area, so the real key is probably nearby."

Sun Honglei's eyes widened.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find it!"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Don't move."

Sun Honglei: "Why?"

Shen Ling'er: "You're easy to step on again."

Sun Honglei: "..."

The whole audience burst into laughter.

......

The prop room behind the stage was very messy.

There are knives, spears, swords, and halberds.

There is a box containing costumes.

There are also several gongs and drums.

As soon as Huang Lei and Huang Bo entered, they immediately began to observe separately.

Sun Honglei was indignant at Shen Ling'er's "Don't move," but then he remembered the red silk that had been laid out with the lanterns, and his steps slowed down.

Zhao Lei was still frozen in the center of the stage, only able to shout from afar.

"Teacher Ling'er! Although I can't move, my spirit is with you!"

Shen Ling'er didn't turn her head.

"It's also mentally disturbing."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Bai Sisi laughed so hard she touched her forehead.

"You're not quiet even when you're frozen."

Inside the prop room.

Shen Ling'er did not rummage through the drawers.

She looked at the gong first.

Then look at the drum.

Finally, we walked to a large drum.

"here."

Huang Bo came closer.

"You suspect the key is in the drum?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"The quietest place in the noisiest place."

"The quietest time is when the drums don't sound."

Huang Lei also came over.

That makes sense.

Sun Honglei immediately reached out to pat the drum.

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"Don't take pictures."

Sun Honglei's hand froze in mid-air.

"What's wrong now?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "The sound was rang, so it might be considered a trigger."

Sun Honglei silently withdrew his hand.

Huang Bo couldn't stop laughing.

"Honglei is now under control."

Sun Honglei: "..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Huang Lei squatted down to inspect the drum.

The drumhead is intact.

There is no obvious opening on the side of the drum.

Huang Bo looked around.

"There's no mechanism."

Shen Ling'er pointed to the area below the drum.

"Lift it up a bit."

Huang Bo and Wang Xun gently lifted the drum together.

A thin piece of paper was pressed under the drum.

Zhang Yixing's eyes lit up.

"We have a lead!"

Huang Lei picked it up.

It says:

"The real key is kept by the most liar."

Everyone fell silent instantly.

Zhao Lei shouted from outside, "Isn't this referring to Teacher Huang Lei?"

Huang Lei: "..."

Huang Bo immediately burst out laughing.

"Zhao Lei, although you can't move, your attack power is very stable."

Sun Honglei immediately pointed at Huang Lei.

"Yes! It must be Huang Lei!"

Huang Lei said helplessly, "Don't betray your teammates so quickly."

Shen Ling'er looked at the clues and shook her head.

"It wasn't him."

Huang Lei was taken aback.

Why?

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"He's good at evading questions, not at lying."

Huang Lei: "..."

Huang Bo clapped his hands with laughter.

"Congratulations, Teacher Huang, you have achieved accurate classification."

Sun Honglei disagreed.

"Who's the biggest liar?"

Shen Ling'er looked up and scanned everyone's faces.

Finally, it landed on a street vendor who was just an extra standing in the corner.

The peddler kept carrying his load, pretending to be just passing by.

He has appeared three times since the beginning of the show.

The first time was at the entrance of a pharmacy.

The second time was in the back alley of the lantern shop.

The third time was next to the stage.

Everyone followed Shen Ling'er's gaze.

The vendor's expression froze.

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "Him."

Huang Bo was taken aback.

"A street vendor?"

The vendor quickly waved his hand.

"I was just passing by and there was a candied hawthorn vendor."

Chen Doudou's eyes lit up.

"Candied hawthorn?"

Lin Jia quickly held him down.

Shen Ling'er looked at the vendor.

"You don't taste like sugar."

Vendor: "..."

The entire room fell silent.

Zhao Lei shouted from outside, "No sugar flavor?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"Selling candied hawthorns will make you sweet."

"He only smelled of wood from the prop room."

Huang Bo immediately walked over and looked down at the vendor's load of goods.

There were indeed candied hawthorns in the basket.

But they were all props from the show, wrapped in a transparent shell, and didn't taste like real syrup at all.

Huang Lei looked at the vendor's sleeve.

"There's red paint on your sleeve, is it from the lantern shop?"

The vendor's expression froze completely.

Shen Ling'er continued, "You're always right behind us."

"It's not about selling anything."

"It depends on where we go."

Sun Honglei's eyes widened.

"An undercover NPC?"

The production team has finally made the announcement.

"Congratulations to the parent-child team for discovering the hidden NPC."

"The hidden NPC possesses the final clue to the golden key."

The vendor reluctantly took out a card from a hidden compartment in his carrying pole.

Huang Bo looked at Shen Ling'er and was truly impressed.

"You can tell that?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "Candied hawthorns don't lie."

Zhao Lei immediately shouted.

"Shen Family Classroom: Extreme Challenge Branch Lesson 4!"

"Candied hawthorn berries don't lie!"

Shen Ling'er frowned.

"You don't need to memorize this sentence."

Chen Doudou said earnestly, "I want to remember."

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"you can."

Chen Doudou nodded happily.

"Because I know how to eat."

Lin Jia: "..."

The comments section was filled with laughter.

"Hahaha, candied hawthorns don't lie!"

"Ling'er can identify NPCs by their scent? That's outrageous!"

"A hidden NPC from the 'Go Fighting!' show passed by three times and was discovered by a five-year-old."

"Huang Lei and Huang Bo were both stunned."

"..."

The final clue card handed over by the vendor read:

"The golden key is neither in a box nor high up."

"It was visible from the beginning, but no one could reach it."

Zhao Lei was finally unfrozen and ran in.

"What do you mean?"

Huang Lei also frowned in thought.

"It was visible from the very beginning..."

Huang Bo looked towards the entrance of the film studio.

"At the beginning?"

Bai Sisi said softly, "No one can get it, is it locked up?"

Zhou Chen thought for a moment.

"Or you can see it but can't reach it."

Shen Ling'er suddenly looked up.

"plaque."

Everyone was taken aback.

"What plaque?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "The golden key pattern on the entrance plaque."

The entire room fell silent instantly.

At the same time, everyone's mind conjured up the image of the large plaque at the entrance of the film studio.

It says "Extreme Ancient City" on it.

Indeed, there is a gold key-shaped relief on each of the decorative patterns on both sides.

Because it looks too much like a decoration.

Everyone saw it when they came in.

But no one took it as a clue.

Huang Lei took a slow breath.

"It was there from the very beginning."

Huang Bo patted his forehead.

"We're all looking for what's hidden; nobody's looking at what's displayed."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

Sun Honglei slapped his thigh.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go back to the entrance and grab it!"

After saying that, he was the first to rush out.

Shen Ling'er watched his retreating figure.

"He didn't listen to the whole thing."

Everyone: "..."

Huang Lei immediately asked, "What else?"

Shen Ling'er's face remained calm.

"Nobody can get it."

Huang Bo reacted the fastest.

"This means that the signboard was not removed directly."

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"We need to exchange it for something."

Huang Lei looked at the clue card in her hand.

"Exchange it for real clues?"

Shen Ling'er thought for a moment.

"They might be using a fake treasure chest."

Zhao Lei: "Huh?"

Shen Ling'er looked at him.

"The fake treasure chest you just opened didn't only contain punishment cards."

Zhao Lei was taken aback.

"What else?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "The box."

Zhao Lei: "..."

Huang Lei's eyes lit up instantly.

"The box itself is a prop!"

Huang Bo understood as well.

"Does the golden key need to be put into a box before it can be delivered to its destination?"

Shen Ling'er nodded.

"The key doesn't come in a box, it will get lost."

Zhao Lei covered his head.

"So, not only did I get punished, but I also managed to get some necessary items for the team?"

Shen Ling'er said calmly, "You are indeed very useful."

Zhao Lei: "..."

The whole audience burst into laughter.

The barrage of comments went crazy.

"Hahaha, Zhao Lei's 'tool persona' value has increased!"

"The fake treasure chest was actually a necessary item; Ling'er figured it out long ago?"

"She's not looking for clues, she's dismantling the game's structure!"

"Even Huang Lei was guided by her to solve the problem."

"The old fox group was really being forced to teach by a five-year-old teacher."
