Chapter 663 - 662: Chu Qiu Kills Brother Huai

In the early stages of the game, due to the special nature of 049 and Mu Qiu’s deliberate indulgence, the situation was incredibly chaotic, with the first few people eliminated ending up dead in baffling circumstances.

For example, the first to be eliminated, Shi Yuhuai, who according to Chen Yi was on the way to eliminate Cheng Zhirang and just got out, then Han Xizheng, the second one out, was also eliminated without any apparent reason.

Adding in Chen Yi, Guo Yin, and also Guan Yu who just disappeared while walking, their eliminations all had a sense of oddity about them.

Now it can be confirmed that Chen Yi and Guo Yin were harmed due to Shu Ran’s ’vicious’ methods, but what about the others?

Chen Yi sighed, leaning sadly on Shi Yuhuai, saying, "I’m sorry, Brother Huai, I actually died in someone else’s test game, it’s so unbearable."

"No problem, I wasn’t expecting you to win a spot anyway." Shi Yuhuai dodged him slightly disdainfully, pushing his head away with one finger.

Chen Yi leaned back again, Shi Yuhuai poked him away again, after several rounds, Shi Yuhuai got tired, kept a wooden face enduring his approach, but still proposed a condition of exchange.

"Join me for the next bowl of food."

Chen Yi immediately stood up straight and backed away a bit.

Shi Yuhuai: "......"

Next to them, Shu Ran and Li Yang continued their dispute.

Shu Ran: "Go ahead, you say I did it for revenge, so you’re already tacitly admitting that it was you guys who killed Han Xizheng?"

Li Yang: "I didn’t! Both Guo Yin and I are civilians! We couldn’t kill anyone!"

Shu Ran: "Then you killed through someone else’s hands."

"...I really didn’t!"

The murdered party looked left and right, thought for a moment, and said to Shu Ran, "The person who killed me must be among Chu Qiu, Brother Cheng, and... you. Shu Ran, it couldn’t be you, could it?"

"It definitely wasn’t! If I wanted to kill you, I’d save it for later, okay?!"

Han Xizheng shook his head and laughed, "You really had such a thought? I must have misjudged you, don’t even think about using my gym card this month."

The proud and elegant female celebrity forced herself to look unconcerned.

Mu Qiu handed Cheng Zhirang two pieces of paper, wiped his sweat and said winking, "Sister Shu Ran, this episode is simply your highlight moment."

"It’s alright." Shu Ran closed her eyes under her eyelids, slightly raised her chin, anyone could see, this wasn’t just alright, her true thoughts clearly were—

"Haha, of course, I’m very amazing.""I’ve got plenty of highlight moments.""A bunch of weaklings making a fuss.""I’m the prettiest."

Well, it was definitely like that, very much in line with Shu Ran’s style.

All around, people were chattering away, some so loud that it was hard to hear the director speaking.

Hungry like a walking corpse, Guan Yu raised her volume to hush everyone.

"Stop stop stop! Stop—"

"The sun is setting, the food’s going to get cold everyone, let’s just run through it from beginning to end, one clear line top to bottom, shall we? How about it, boss?"

A bunch of kids all turned their heads to look at the boss.

Boss Cheng Zhirang smiled gently, nodded and said, "Alright. Let’s start with Brother Huai who was the first to get out, then whoever is involved in eliminating others step up, and give a brief explanation. As for revenge, wait until everything is explained, then take action. How about that?"

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Alright then, go ahead, Brother Huai."

The first one eliminated, the first speaker’s face didn’t look too good, even showing a hint of a sick color.

"At that time, Chen Yi and I were heading toward the museum, still on the road, and I was suddenly notified that I was out, there were no suspicious people or actions nearby."

Cheng Zhirang, as the host, looked at the others and asked simply, "Who did it?"

Everyone looked at each other, then someone slowly raised a hand in the middle.

Guan Yu: "??? Chu Qiu, what are you doing? We didn’t even get close at that time!"

She gazed at Chu Qiu in shock, watching him take a few steps forward.

The others only realized belatedly.

"It was you?!?"

"Weren’t you nowhere near? How did you do it?"

"Chu Qiu, you acted so convincingly! No one suspected you!"

"Were you just experimenting at random? And you targeted Brother Huai?"

"No way, Chu Qiu?! What did you eliminate Brother Huai for, out of nowhere?"

"Everyone settle down for a moment, settle down, I have a life-and-death question related to Chu Qiu to consult!" Guan Yu made a pause gesture, and her loud voice followed.

"Brother Huai just walked and somehow got eliminated, just like me... So how did I finish?"

She squinted her eyes at Chu Qiu, drawing out her words, her tone cold.

Chu Qiu felt his scalp tighten, Guan Yu still stood unmoved before him, yet he felt as if someone was already pulling his hair, ready to kick his head like a ball.

"Hey, don’t get excited."

He chuckled dryly, silently stepped back a pace, then said, "It was just in the spirit of sustainable development in a post-apocalyptic society that I did some elimina... ow! Don’t hit the face!"

He didn’t even have to finish his words; Guan Yu knew right away it was him who set her up to be eliminated and immediately took off her shoe to chase him.

Shi Yuhuai grabbed her restless hand, watching the two dodge each other, finally letting out a bit of pent-up breath.

When they had run two laps and reached Cheng Zhirang, Cheng Zhirang blocked them with one hand each, stopping Guan Yu, and said in a gentle voice:

"Weren’t you eager to eat? Once it’s all clear, it’s not too late to make a move together."

Chu Qiu: "... Brother Cheng! You should let her take action first!"

Guan Yu raised her fist at him threateningly, but she already stood back in line, giving him a sinister smile.

"Just wait, I’ll make sure you gain something from this episode."

Chu Qiu: Eek, so scary.

Cheng Zhirang patted his back, pushing him back into line, with a completely different tone of voice asked again, "So how did you do it?"

The two victims said he didn’t come close nor did anything suspicious, not even when Shi Yuhuai got out were they near to each other, so how did he commit the act?

Mu Qiu was also quite curious.

Among the six regular cast members of the show, the top three most troublesome people surely include Guan Yu. From the start of this episode, she was thinking about how to smoothly get rid of Guan Yu.

But then Chu Qiu came along, and both Shi Yuhuai and Guan Yu were out, saving her quite a bit of effort.

Being the only one familiar with the SCP Foundation’s monsters, she couldn’t necessarily be confident in taking out Guan Yu, yet Chu Qiu managed to solve it silently, and even after that, no one suspected him until now.

A master hand.

She tried hard to peek over, the camera zoomed in on Chu Qiu about to speak.

She stood a bit dangerously, and with this posture, if the camera shot from above or from behind her waist, there might be a possibility of exposure.

Cheng Zhirang reached from behind the camera, gently guiding her by the shoulder, lightly pushed her back.

A brief touch.

Then Mu Qiu dutifully stepped back and stood up straight.
