Overprotected By My Tsundere CEO-Chapter 680 - 424: Online Debate Erupts

The sudden reminder, although not quite achieving the effect of "a stone stirs up a thousand waves", undoubtedly caught the attention of some people. However, after a few discussions, it was again drowned out by the barrage of comments, making it hard to find companions. Only those whose curiosity was piqued decided to search the forums for like-minded individuals after watching this episode.

The seventh episode of "Escape Room" abruptly ended when Nora Scott opened the classroom door while looking for an umbrella, and then kicked a zombie over.

During the show, Nora Scott quickly saw the answer to the advanced math question while the guests were summarizing the information, and wrote beautiful cursive; she analyzed the clues logically step-by-step, and the numerous mechanical traps that followed were often avoided by Nora Scott and Clement Winter, making this episode so engaging that viewers couldn’t stop watching.

Generally, if a show has one or two memorable highlights, it’s considered a success.

However, any variety show with Nora Scott participating is always full of highlights and explosive excitement, one after another. You never know what the last surprise will be until the end.

Two hours after the show went online, the discussion on the internet was unprecedented, far exceeding the first and second episodes of "Escape Room."

[Nora Scott’s various shocking operations][Nora Scott’s intricate connection with mechanical techniques][Nora Scott instantly sees the advanced math answer] were undoubtedly the focal points, occupying ninety percent of all show topics among netizens after watching her.

[I took a screenshot of the Huayu Road on the mechanical table and showed it to an expert, who studied it and said either it’s someone who plays often and knows the tricks or it’s an ordinary person who memorized all the steps. In short, it’s very impressive. Given the various legends of God Z, I lean toward the former. If the "Escape Room" crew really wants to build a genius persona for Nora Scott, that’s a bit mindless.]

[Can one really instantly see the answer to that advanced math question on the blackboard? I’m a college student and it took me a full half an hour. PS: I don’t believe such a coincidence exists. The probability that Nora Scott just so happened to see the original question and remembered the answer is too low. It’s more believable that she had the script from the crew.]

[Even Anastasia directly asked Nora Scott in the show if she had a script, and Nora Scott smiled and said it’s possible. The show’s text expressed being wronged. I think if it were true, the show crew certainly wouldn’t be so direct. Plus, this persona is too high; who in the entertainment circle could handle that? Unless Nora Scott’s team behind her are all fools, trying to create a "genius" persona for her.]

[Well, after all, she is the leader behind "Base No. 9" and "Death Legend", so talented and young. It’s not unusual for this lady to have high intelligence, is it?]

...

Once the show went online, in a short amount of time, all Nora Scott received was unanimous praise. Her unexpected actions, multiple skills, display of intelligence, and unabashed show of affection all hit the weak spots of the netizens. Moreover, with her looks backing her, the "campus goddess" tag was not going anywhere.

Late that night, at eleven o’clock.

A post on a certain forum shot to the top of the hotlist—

[Is it possible for the actress Nora Scott and the "Escape Room" room planner Nora Scott to be the same person?]

Netizens provided three screenshots from the end credits of the first, second, and seventh episodes of "Escape Room". In the first and second episodes, Nora Scott’s prefix was screenwriter and room planner, while in the seventh, it reappeared as room planner, with another person in the screenwriting group.

Initially, "Escape Room" seemed to have nothing to do with Nora Scott. The general assumption among netizens was— stars are just stars, few can be involved in all three spheres (film, television, and singing), and those who transition behind the scenes usually become producers, directors, supervisors or coordinators... who had ever seen such skills that are as far away from acting as possible?

So, at the time, even if some people debated whether "this Nora Scott is that Nora Scott," most were in denial, firmly saying it must be a coincidence and definitely could not be the same person.

Who would have thought that Nora Scott’s performance in solving the Huayu Road in the show would remind people of mechanical techniques, sparking wide discussions again.

[Blind guess it’s impossible. This episode with Nora Scott as a guest was indeed excellent; at least one person carried all the highlights, and the entertainment effect was indubitable. But did you all notice, the lock-picking was done using locksmith skills, the Huayu Road was actually unrelated to mechanisms, and when facing traps, she stood aside letting other guests tackle them, just pulling Clement Winter aside to reap the rewards. If the mechanical techniques of the first two episodes were truly designed by her, wouldn’t playing with such techniques be a breeze for her, so why avoid them?]

[Supporting it’s impossible. The planner of the seventh episode was also Nora Scott; is the show crew stupid? If Nora Scott designed the room, why let her participate in this episode? Moreover, her performance with the mechanisms was too poor, relying only on trickery, even inferior to Clement Winter.]

[The analysis above is logical and well-founded. If the show invited Nora Scott as a planner, then as a guest, they would certainly avoid the two episodes she designed. Otherwise, inviting someone who knows all the mechanisms to play the game would be shooting themselves in the foot.]

[Whether it’s Nora Scott or Zero, they are just ordinary people; no need to exalt so much. Get real, fans, why should all good things fall on Nora Scott?]

[Speaking of, Nora Scott and Rosa Sullivan each have their roles, Nora for the entertainment effect, Rosa for the mechanical techniques. Why the need to drag in mechanical techniques when there’s so much to praise about Nora Scott? Because mechanical techniques sound high and mighty? Let’s get real, even if Nora Scott is amazing at Huayu Road, when facing real mechanisms she still has to rely on Miss Rosa Sullivan, doesn’t she?]

[What you guys say makes sense, but I really hope this person is Nora Scott. This girl knows everything, fulfilling all my fantasies.]

[Better not fantasize, even if Nora Scott knows mechanical techniques, her acting and filming shortcomings don’t fulfill the "knows everything" persona, do they?] 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Among a slew of highly-upvoted responses, almost all deny that these two Nora Scotts are the same person. After all, this isn’t some cheat novel where all the halos belong to Nora Scott; most people have to think practically.

However, among this one-sided discourse, a different perspective emerged with a highly-upvoted response—

[Actually, there’s no need to be so certain.

Nora Scott being a screenwriter + room planner is still possible.

First, it’s well-known that the first and second episodes were extremely intriguing, with layer upon layer of twists, clever story architecture, and meticulous detail. Considering Nora Scott’s renown in the comic world, besides her drawing and storyboarding skills, her screenwriting ability is unquestionable. Crafting such a story, Nora Scott indeed has that capability.

Second, we can imagine, what if Nora Scott participated in this episode’s recording by accident? That is, she only found out before filming that this episode’s room was her design. —Although the chance is low, let’s assume there is such a possibility.

If that were the case, many of Nora Scott’s seemingly bizarre actions can be explained.

Look closely, in this episode, she isn’t the screenwriter, but rather the room planner. Therefore, she likely doesn’t know the plot, but knows how to open the mechanisms.

It would be boring to open her own made mechanisms, so she opted for a novel approach, using a campus card to open the door;

Because she knows the exact locations of the traps, she’s able to anticipate and pull Clement Winter to avoid them. You see, all the other guests got hit, except her and Clement Winter. (If you want to insist on Nora Scott having a lucky charm physique, there’s nothing we can do);

Actually, in several instances, the other guests only found clues to open mechanisms thanks to Nora Scott’s "hints". In the 78th minute, where Rosa Sullivan uses her lock-picking prowess, Nora Scott flips through a book and mentions a technical term, Rosa Sullivan suddenly realizing, then unlocking the lock. (I’ll organize this further and add more tomorrow).

In conclusion, Nora Scott might indeed be the Nora Scott in the end credits. (Just for entertainment, providing an analysis route, no guarantees.)]

This forum user provided logical analysis, holding an official verified account with an outstanding track record. All the answers given were high-quality, and they had a large fan base. As a result, their response stood out among the many negative opinions, garnering over two thousand likes quickly, trending into the popular highly-cholted responses.

Many commented beneath their discourse, with mixed opinions—

[The original poster has a wide imagination, kudos.]

[There’s indeed such a possibility, but the assumption is really far-fetched. The show crew would have to make a massive blunder to let Nora Scott participate in the very room she designed, right? It just seems too fake.]

[Nora Scott speaks low-key when she wants to, high-key when she decides. Does anyone know her? If she really is the room planner, wouldn’t she announce it herself if it beneficial? If she’s not clearing it up now, perhaps she’s waiting to ride the wave.]

[The person above is presenting a new idea—if it truly is Nora Scott, she’d benefit from revealing such a thing, so why wouldn’t she say it? If she’s not clarifying it now, maybe she wants to ride the wave a bit?]

[Don’t act like everyone lives in the online sphere like you guys do? Back then, there were so many trolls for Uncle Black, fighting endlessly with White’s fans; if the editor hadn’t informed her of the situation, maybe she wouldn’t have gone public live to disclose her identity.]

[With Nora Scott’s current popularity and screen time... this Fairy sister is truly unique. People can observe more carefully, or seek confirmation from the official Escape Room blog. If enough people ask, maybe the official account will answer.]
