During this ti, Mr. Maddox was always standing by Teresa Castro’s side, but unfortunately, Teresa refused to communicate with him, so he could only investigate on his own and seek help from "Mr. Lawrence". Unexpectedly, he discovered that Mr. Lawrence was in league with the school flower, tacitly approving of their actions.
Afterward, Clent Winter summarized the latter part of the diary and linked the two stories together using Nora Scott’s speculations.
By this point, the story had a rough outline.
The others continued to add to it, mostly guesses about relationships and story speculations.
Rosa Sullivan found conclusive evidence of Teresa Castro being suppressed and isolated in her classroom. The situations of the other three were similar.
"I have a question," Rosa Sullivan said after everyone had finished speaking, standing in the aisle, tilting her head slightly, her gaze falling on Nora Scott, who was listening with her legs crossed. "How did you co to the conclusion that the school experinted on Teresa, leading to her becoming zombified?"
Rosa Sullivan relies on evidence analysis.
However, the current information provided no link to "school" or "experints".
"Imagination."
Nora Scott replied lightly.
She rested her chin on one hand, tilted her head slightly, her eyebrows raised slightly, "And so clues I discovered while exploring most of the classrooms and offices on the fifth floor."
Those clues did not directly reveal anything.
To be precise, the "experint" information would only be revealed below the fourth floor. But the show’s prop team was quite thorough, leaving hints in details that Nora just happened to discover.
Rosa Sullivan pressed her lips together.
She had forgotten that Nora had toured the fifth floor. It’s just that Nora moved so quickly, she assud Nora was just wandering around with no ti to investigate clues.
Who would have thought...
Another glance at the blackboard showed a clear character relationship map and Nora’s beautifully grand cursive writing, all marking Nora’s highlights.
In contrast, all her excellent performances so far in this session seed dim next to Nora.
A shadow of light flashed through her eyes.
"We should now consider how to get out of here." Rosa Sullivan began to change the topic, unwilling to further highlight Nora.
Nora Scott lazily picked up the conversation, "The front and back doors are blocked. Logically, there should be a secret door in the classroom."
—You say there is, and there is?
Rosa Sullivan almost retorted imdiately.
"Is it related to that math problem?" Anastasia realized and instinctively asked Nora Scott, "Nora, do you have any thoughts?"
Nora Scott blinked.
The secret room was her design; she not only knew where the secret door was but also how to open it.
But telling the truth would be too dull.
Not only would the show recording be boring, but the aning of her designing this secret room... would also be lost.
"No." Nora shrugged, "I’m not quite familiar with this. Let’s ask the expert."
As she spoke, she looked towards Rosa Sullivan.
"Right!" Anastasia clapped her forehead, "Sullivan, I’d almost forgotten you. You are the strongest chanical Master."
Diana Johnson ca back to her senses and nodded in agreent, "Yes, Miss Sullivan, we’re counting on you."
"I’ll take a look."
Glancing at Nora Scott, Rosa Sullivan remained calm and even quite humble.
Clent Winter scratched his head, his suspicious gaze sweeping towards Nora.
According to Evelyn Winter, Nora was the granddaughter of Evelyn’s chanical Master teacher and had considerable expertise in chanical Techniques... how co here, she "doesn’t know much about it"?
Nora Scott glanced at him.
About to ask, Clent Winter seed to receive so ssage that he didn’t fully understand but wisely swallowed his words.
...
Finally, with the prayers of all the show’s crew, Nora began her "half-hearted recording".
There were very few "fancy moves" afterward, especially concerning chanical Techniques.
She knew nothing when asked.
Too tired to find clues.
Carried along the entire way.
Even Diana Johnson, pulled in as a mascot for the guest team, contributed more than Nora.
The first secret room’s hidden door, Nora’s contribution was— solving the math problem; deducing the existence of a secret door in the classroom.
The classroom connected to another empty classroom.
Inside, there were a lot of chanical traps. Except for herself, who knew beforehand, and Clent Winter, who she dragged along, the other four were all caught: so got sprayed with cream, so with confetti, and the unlucky Diana Johnson got trapped in an iron cage.
After quite a bit of effort, they managed to deactivate these chanisms and then, according to the clues, opened the chanism leading directly downstairs.
—As soon as the chanism was activated, a one-ter-wide by one-ter-long section of the platform floor suddenly recessed, opening up a hole.
Nora Scott strolled to the edge of the hole, took out her flashlight, turned it on, and casually shone it down.
