Chapter 564: Chapter 564: Nothing Substantial To Speak Of
Lucy Taylor caught Hannah’s confusion, and explained, "Ray Lee originally won first place by vote manipulation, and this was even when Hayes Edwards was suppressed in the voting. The contest itself is like this, there’s nothing real about it."
After she finished speaking, she discreetly observed Hannah’s expression, and only slightly relaxed when she saw Hannah remained calm.
She also didn’t want to stir up any sad memories for Hannah.
Meanwhile, Adam Landon, having received a notification from the staff, hurried over.
Even though he had a refined and cultured appearance with his glasses on, the moment he stood up, his imposing manner radiated instantly. "Anyone who doesn’t want to participate in the program can leave now."
Nobody dared to move and all returned to their seats.
Ray Lee cursed under his breath and also returned to his seat.
Only then did Adam Landon look at Hayes Edwards on the side, "And you."
Hayes Edwards looked indifferent, he just turned his head andleered at Ray Lee. Seeing how Ray Lee was gritting his teeth, Hayes Edwards finally settled back into his seat.
After ensuring everyone had calmed down, Adam gave the instruction to set up the cameras.

Adam Landon set the theme of this escape room as the Hell Mental Hospital.
Everyone received a role before entering the escape room, including doctors and patients, and one critically ill patient.
Everyone’s task was to find their teammates while completing their individual missions. Of course, if they found props, they could "kill" those they suspected were not on their team.
In the final stage, if more doctors survived than patients, the doctors win. Conversely, if more patients survived, the patients win.
The critical role of "critically ill patient" does not have detailed identity information like others, meaning he knows nothing about Hell Mental Hospital.
But so long as he successfully survives until the end and "kills" everyone else, he will receive all the rewards.
After Adam announced all the rules, everyone couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves.
"This seems a bit scary, I’ve never done an escape room before."
"The one who gets the special identity is a bit unfortunate, if not smart enough, they’ll be killed immediately as soon as they join. How embarrassing."
"The venue this time is really a transformed abandoned mental hospital. I heard there were rumors of ghosts in the past."
"Please stop talking, I’ve got goosebumps."
The whispers gradually quieted down.
Louis Snyder sat quietly to the side, always appearing obedient and quiet. The other male group members, knowing he and Hayes Edwards were from the same production group, tried deliberately to win his favor.
Probably to isolate Hayes Edwards together.
Hayes Edwards was completely unaware, as he was busy chatting with Hannah, who was in the seat in front of him, occasionally pulling Hannah’s hair or poking her shoulder.
He couldn’t stop talking.
"Hannah Winter, if you’re scared later when we go in, I don’t mind if you follow me."
"I’ll have you know, I’m very brave, see these strong arms, I could carry three of you with no problem."
"Hannah Winter, why are you ignoring me?"
He hadn’t even finished speaking when a pillow came flying at him, hitting him before he could reach out his hand to tug at Hannah’s braids again.
"Hayes Edwards, if you say one more unnecessary thing, I’ll throw you over the edge."
Hannah turned her head, her smile radiant, but her eyes held a threat.
Hayes Edwards ruffled his messy short hair, mumbling to himself, "The older you get, the worse your temper gets. I won’t bother protecting you when we go in later."
