I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!

Chapter 637 - 636: Guan Yu Eliminated

Mu Qiu’s eyelids twitched twice.

She couldn’t help but retort: "When did you learn this stuff? Be careful, your agent might beat you up."

Also, be careful she might beat him up.

Li Yang didn’t care and continued fake crying.

The crying was so fake that Cheng Zhirang couldn’t help but want to laugh.

"So, do you have a card or not?"

"No! They all searched, really no card!"

"Hmm, I believe you."

Li Yang was about to be happy when he heard him say again: "Anyway, no matter who finds this card, the result is the same.

Besides, the parasite destruction time of 813 should be shorter than this death countdown, so there’s no need to wait for this card to take effect, the game’s result should already be decided."

The reason for this card is probably to control the game time?

If everyone is too good and plays until exhausted at night without a winner, the show team can manually stop the countdown, ejecting all but the cardholder, and the outcome is instantly clear.

Li Yang’s expression fell immediately.

Mu Qiu’s eyes, however, lit up: "Right, as long as we work hard, this card probably won’t have any effect."

Zhao Yu: "How do we work hard, my benevolent Purifier?"

"......" Damn, forgot she can’t kill, she can only contribute by saving people and extending the game time.

Hoping to go big, but unfortunately got a lousy hand at the start.

She put the metal detector back on her, and unwillingly said:

"I have to find a chance to try, am I the holy savior or not, if the show team has any conscience, they wouldn’t design it like this."

Li Yang: "Unfortunately, the show team probably has no conscience."

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made 902 appear to let him be happy for nothing!

The two sighed in unison.

Cheng Zhirang glanced at Mu Qiu, reached out to adjust the metal detector handle away from him, adjusted the detector strap and backpack strap for Mu Qiu.

The action was very natural, like adjusting his girlfriend’s collar.

Okay, remove "like," she actually is his girlfriend.

"I’m just waiting now, for when the parasite time of 813 ends."

Li Yang mournfully: "Brother Cheng, once it ends, several of us have to be eliminated, that’s too cruel!"

"Not cruel, didn’t you all want to be out to drink instant noodle soup long ago?"

"That was to commit suicide to be out, not to be killed! One is bravely facing death, the other is humbly slaughtered, weak and helpless."

Cheng Zhirang smiled: "That makes no difference to me."

After saying such cruel words, he looked at the unconcerned Mu Qiu again and asked: "How about we make a deal?"

"Oh?"

Mu Qiu showed some interest: "What deal? First of all, I have no money, no snacks, and no dossier card."

Basically, I have nothing.

"We exchange useful information," he pulled a mint candy from his camouflage uniform, "you tell me what you know, and I’ll tell you a piece of information that’s very important to you guys. Hmm—I’ll also give you a candy."

"Important to us? What information is only important to us?"

"Information related to Li Yang that will cause one of you to be ejected."

Li Yang immediately stood against the wall: "What does this have to do with me?!"

Mu Qiu frowned, not concerned about the information’s relation to Li Yang, she only focused on the last part.

"Information that will cause one of us to be ejected? What, is there a dossier card specifically targeting certain individuals or groups?"

Cheng Zhirang didn’t answer or show any expressions, just looked at her, waiting for her response.

Secrets are well-kept.

While calculating what secrets she might have to exchange, Mu Qiu stared unwaveringly into his eyes.

You can observe a lot from a person’s eyes; they give off information often more prolonged and genuine than expressions.

Besides, they were quite familiar with each other, any hint of irregularity in his eyes and she might be able to gauge his intentions.

While halfway calculating, another electric sound outside of the death countdown started to play.

"The fourth monster dossier card has been activated!"

"The fourth monster dossier card has been activated!"

"The fourth monster dossier card has been activated!"

The increasingly mechanical electronic sound, sounds exactly like the future system from an apocalypse sci-fi novel as she imagined.

But when the voice sends information too frequently, it inevitably feels jarring to the ears.

Only two or three seconds after the fourth dossier card activation notice, a different piece of news was broadcast.

"Guan Yu eliminated!"

"Guan Yu eliminated!"

"Guan Yu eliminated!"

Mu Qiu and the other three exchanged shocked glances.

"Sister Guan Yu got slaughtered?!"

"Who is so powerful, found the card and immediately slaughtered Sister Guan Yu?"

"Could it be Chu Qiu?"

"So, the fourth card, like 049, is an instant kill card? Otherwise, how could Sister Guan Yu be immediately eliminated?"

That was Guan Yu! Using tricks on par with Mu Qiu, such as lying, being thick-skinned, playing rascal, and coaxing alliances, she was always one of the most favored guests in the show.

Though she seemed underactive this episode, they thought she was feigning boredom to conserve energy for a shocking move!

"What is happening, Sister Guan Yu didn’t even get to make her shocking move and already got eliminated to eat instant noodles?" Li Yang’s shocked face couldn’t recover.

Mu Qiu glanced at him: "Isn’t this shocking enough?"

Li Yang: "..." makes sense in a way.

Zhao Yu suggested: "Why not use a walkie-talkie to connect with Chu Qiu and ask what’s happening."

"Sure."

She immediately started studying the walkie-talkie.

Cheng Zhirang’s information trading was interrupted, he retrieved the candy in his palm and put it back in his camouflage pocket.

Mu Qiu, busy discussing the "online conference" with Zhao Yu and Li Yang, barely paid attention to him. Even when she did meet his eyes, she would quickly look away.

Her attempt to ignore the information trade indicated— she definitely had secrets she didn’t want to exchange.

He was in no rush and just stood there watching her connect with Chu Qiu using the walkie-talkie.

"Hello, hello, hello? Brother Chu Qiu?"

Her voice was heard through everyone’s walkie-talkies.

"Make sure to lower the volume a bit."

After instructing Cheng Zhirang and the others to lower the walkie-talkie volume, a burst of static buzz’s came, followed by Chu Qiu’s breathless voice.

"Help! A ghost!"

"......What ghost? Was it this ghost that took Sister Guan Yu away? Is it the fourth card’s monster?"

"No, no!"

Chu Qiu probably wasn’t used to using the walkie-talkie, speaking in bursts rather than fluently, with the static occupying more time than his words.

"When the fourth card came out, we were still talking, then she just got eliminated while walking! There are no monsters here!"
