I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!

Chapter 641 - 640: Oh Snap

One of them was parasitized by 813?

Mu Qiu and Zhao Yu exchanged glances, full of suspicion and doubt.

When did the parasitism happen? How did it happen? How did Cheng Zhirang know?

Could it be that whenever someone gets parasitized, the cardholder would know? That shouldn’t be.

She looked up and asked, "How do you know?"

Cheng Zhirang: "I want you to save me."

"...Fine, let’s revive Brother Cheng again!"

"Hey, hey, hey! What about me, what about me?! You revived both of them, you can’t just leave me out, can you?"

"What value do you bring?"

"I, I..."

Li Yang pondered carefully, what value did he bring? Did he have secrets to share? Or could he be a traitor and fight Cheng Zhirang, Shu Ran, and Chu Qiu? Or did he have a particularly powerful Monster Card that he could command?

It seemed... he had none of those.

And he was also involved with the secret that Cheng Zhirang was about to reveal, by then Mu Qiu would kick him out instead of saving him.

He suddenly pulled a long face, clung to the wall, and started fake crying.

"I’m actually a worthless person, boo-hoo-hoo, I’m actually a worthless person! Let me out! I want to play a zombie!"

Shi Yuhuai: Welcoming you to join the zombies.

Somehow pathetic, Mu Qiu almost softened, feeling a bit tempted to revive him.

"How about just..."

"Death timer has expired by five minutes! Cheng Zhirang and Chu Qiu revival successful! Cheng Zhirang and Chu Qiu revival successful!"

The electronic voice sounded so coincidentally, interrupting Mu Qiu’s words.

As the voice faded, she innocently shrugged at Li Yang: "Oops."

Was this perhaps the effect of a bad luck aura?

Li Yang was deflated with grief and indignation: "...Goodbye!"

This was damn too coincidental! Clearly, the heavens didn’t want him alive!

After this humiliating blow, he became exceedingly compliant, going along with 049 and the zombie Guo Yin, getting gagged and covered, and then dragged away like a corpse.

The other two 049s as well as the zombies Shi Yuhuai, Chen Yi, and Han Xizheng quietly backed off.

It seemed clear that after slurping their noodles, they must have been briefly dragged off to an acting training camp, following performance instructions from the teachers, adhering to zombie etiquette in word and deed... alright, maybe not in deed.

Judging by Shi Yuhuai’s stiff, awkward manner of "wanting to roll his eyes and feeling disdainful yet still needing to walk with a tilted head smeared in slime," it was evident they were hastily assembled reinforcements.

After all, there was still so much time remaining, they couldn’t be left footage-less, right?

After everyone had left, Mu Qiu and Zhao Yu cautiously crept over, stopping about five or six meters from the "traitor trio."

"Who would’ve thought, the remaining two traitors are you two. Sister Shu Ran, Brother Chu Qiu, you two played your roles really well. Do you three want to have a small gathering now?"

Shu Ran crossed her arms, fake smiled with a cold snort: "Gather for what? Now that you’ve revived both of them, aren’t you afraid the three of us will team up against you first?"

"Afraid of what? I’m Teacher Xiao Qiu, the savior of mankind. Who would have the mind to go against a support who provides blood to her own team?"

She was everyone’s trump card now.

Shu Ran was even more peeved: "Mu Qiu! I really... feel like strangling you, there were clearly just the three of us left!"

"What fun is a world of just three people?" Chu Qiu chimed in, "It’s more fun with me and Brother Cheng. Plus, your fourth card hasn’t exerted its second effect yet, doesn’t it feel like a waste?"

Speaking of the fourth card, she felt a bit more confident.

To deal with an existence like Shen Zhousong in seconds was no joke.

Cheng Zhirang turned his head to look at them, asking, "What’s the fourth card?"

Shu Ran was on guard, not saying a word: "You’ll see when you encounter it, Brother Cheng."

Then in ignorance of the rules, a mere turn of the head could get someone out, splendid indeed.

Since she wouldn’t say, and Chu Qiu played dumb, he could only shift his gaze to Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu understood his intent precisely but chose not to state it outright, instead asking, "Earlier you said we were parasitized, what’s going on exactly?"

Cheng Zhirang made a gesture of helplessness, having to answer her question first.

"Before Guo Yin was slaughtered, he got close to you guys before being taken away."

Mu Qiu’s mind spun quickly, and she immediately figured it out.

had a feature, if the person parasitized was about to meet their end, 813 would automatically detect and then leap to re-parasitize someone in the vicinity by jumping into their eyes.

Before Guo Yin was dragged away, he did run towards them, and at the time she didn’t connect the dots.

Did Guo Yin do this as a last-ditch effort before his "demise," or was it on Li Yang’s orders?

If it was Li Yang’s orders...

Deserved death! Lucky she didn’t revive him!

She pounded the corridor wall, gritting her teeth and speaking viciously: "After the show, I’m going after those two for revenge!"

Zhao Yu nudged her: "Who stood closest to him then?"

"I don’t remember, but probably me. Do you want to be the first place?"

"Of course, who wouldn’t want to be first place? Those who say they don’t are just afraid of losing face if they don’t get it."

Mu Qiu glanced at her: "Are you not afraid of losing face?"

"I can go faceless."

"...Then how do you plan to be first, I mean if due to the 813 parasitism timer running out, I get out, and can’t save you, you only have one life left."

"Why does this sound so much like a farewell entrustment?"

Zhao Yu hooked onto her shoulder, leaned in and said: "As long as you have the determination to win, there are countless ways to win. Can’t I just hang in there? Currently, none of these four cards enable remote transmission or pinpoint slaughter. Alright, my bold statement ends here, you can leave in peace."

"Leave my foot," Mu Qiu rolled her eyes, "You want to be first, and I don’t?! My previous point was, precisely because everyone wants first place, and my time is limited, let’s go after them! Maybe I can even pave a little backroad for you in the end."

Prior, she thought being anything but last was impressive enough; now with a death timer set, she feels it’d be a disgrace not to score some achievements given how Li Yang them so painstakingly planned, with such self-damaging, mutually harmful re-parasitism tactics.

Zhao Yu: "Ha? I thought you were furious enough to self-exit to confront Li Yang them."

"...What kind of mind do you have. So, let’s agree, before dealing with the others, let’s just pretend to be smart and resourceful, life and death inseparable, alright?"

Zhao Yu: "Absolutely okay, I can even add performance—"

"No need, no need at all. Let’s finish the job while I’m still around!"

They murmured for quite a while, over there, Cheng Zhirang, who had just exposed a secret, hadn’t received a response, and began walking toward them.

"Are you discussing the aftermath of Li Yang’s exit?"

Mu Qiu turned back, not afraid, nodded vigorously, very earnestly: "We decided to strive hard, achieve early, finish early, then seek revenge."
