Chapter 84.2
Im back!! Thank you for your patience ^^
Shen Xingsui was wondering where he was, when he happened to meet his older brother who was leaving the forest because of elimination. He scurried over quickly and asked, How did you get eliminated?
Shen Xingchen himself didnt understand what happened. Honestly, I dont know. I didnt do anything weird.
Have someone touched you? Shen Xingsui asked, Or like last time, they asked you to do something.
Shen Xingchen was still wondering about this. This time nobody really came to ask me any questions, and didnt give anything to me. I was very careful this time, I havent touched anything since this morning. The only thing I just had was breakfast and oh, I think I also swiped two of Fu-ges steamed buns, and thats it.
He also hadnt met Feng Fan and Instructor Li.
Not long after, Shen Xingchen had to leave, leaving Shen Xingsui alone to continue his journey.
Just as he was walking to the given mirror location, he met Tuya and Xu Qinke who were still alive. The two of them were discussing something, and when they saw Shen Xingsui coming, they waved at him, Suisui, come here.
Shen Xingsui approached them. Instructor Li and Feng Fan have been eliminated?
Tuya patted her chest in befuddlement, Its terrible, really. Im sure that the undercover hasnt shown up yet
How did they get eliminated? Xu Qinke wondered under his breath.
I dont have a clue either, Shen Xingsui was both confused and suspicious. Yesterday, I was with Xingchen-ge all the time. During the day, we just did tasks separately. Plus, all of us didnt meet each other. So how did the undercover do it?
Xu Qinke said, Teacher Tuya, who do you suspect?
In my personal opinion, theres two candidates. The first one is Anran, Tuya analyzed, The other possibility is
While they were deep in discussion, another announcement came from the radio: [Anran is out.]
Everyone fell silent.
Another person was eliminated. This speed was faster than anyone could imagine, and their strike was crisp and quick.
In the last episode, Anran was the assassin, and the three of them used him as a comparison to this episodes undercover villain. They quickly analyzed the possible methods of elimination and other clues.
Tuya took a deep breath and concluded her thoughts. Except for Fu Jinxiao, I cant think of another person who can do this.
This was the worst situation.
If the undercover was Fu Jinxiao, they would definitely be driven to a dead end the mirrors destroyed, and all kinds of clues would be monopolized by Fu Jinxiao alone.
Xu Qinke added, The most important thing for us is to analyze what the method of elimination is. Otherwise, we will be finished.
Shen Xingsui repeated what Shen Xingchen said just now.
Steamed buns? Tuya immediately shook her head and said, Impossible, he doesnt have so many buns to weed out three I mean, four people today. You underestimate him too much, I think. His actions will never be so obvious, so the problem must not be with buns itself.
Xu Qinke fell deep in thoughts for a while. Then, he said, still full of doubts about his own ideas, Before Feng Fan was eliminated, he drank water.
It was obviously a simple sentence, but it made Shen Xingsui next to him suddenly break out in a cold sweat.
Then, another cold announcement rang out:
[Ning Ze is out.]
[Li Xuan is out1honestly, this is something I personally added. They actually appeared in the previous games, so I think the author just forgor that theres 10 of them in the game lol.]
The audience in the live broadcast room could also feel this chill.
[He dodged the water of death.]
[Damn it]
[Then, didnt Fu-ge just doomed Anran by giving him what he asked? Hahaha.]
[How many survivors left this time? Just the three of them now? Dear Lord]
The director said, All surviving young heroes, you still have the last chance. On the shore of the Goddess Lake, which is located 500 meters from your current position. Theres divine water there. This water has the property of eliminating evil and protecting the treasures.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and started walking towards the Goddess Lake.
While walking, Tuya said, I have a talisman on me. I guess with Mr. Fus ability, he should get the divine water earlier than us. If we dont even have this, we will be finished. I think we need a strategy. Regardless, even if he got it, we must grab it from his hand.
Xu Qinke said with some embarrassment. Actually, I also drank the water that Feng Fan drank, but I guess I escaped because I have the talisman Well, it has done its job in protecting me.
Shen Xingsui nodded, I also have one.
Tuya thought for a while and said, Actually, I probably already know where the treasure cave is, but I cant go in, because I dont have the qualification.
Shen Xingsui quickly said, The map is here.
Then you go, Tuya decided that it would be better to divide their group into two. Although there are three of us, in fact, it is not a good idea to go together. Jinxiao is our opponent, and our only advantage is our bigger number. Suisui, you go to the treasure cave to get the treasure first, and the two of us go to delay Jinxiao, so we can win. Understand?
Shen Xingsui felt that Tuya was right.
Their division of labor was over, and no one dared to waste time. When Tuya and Xu Qinke rushed all the way to the Goddess Lake, there was indeed someone waiting there.
Fu Jinxiao held a bottle of divine water in his hand.
Tuya smiled helplessly, The older ginger is indeed the spicier one.2idiom; older, more experienced people usually have more tricks up their sleeves/craftier/more flexible/etc. I know I cant compare to you.
Fu Jinxiaos swept around them. He immediately cut to the chase. Where is Shen Xingsui?
Your little friend is safe. Arent you glad that he didnt come this time? Tuya sighed, already resigned to her fate, In this way, you dont have to play the bad guy in front of him.
Fu Jinxiao just mysteriously smiled. I didnt intend to keep it a secret.
When Tuya was speaking, she arranged for Xu Qinke to lie in ambush beside her. She was trying to attract Fu Jinxiaos attention by talking, while Xu Qinke rushed forward with an amulet and snatched the bottle of divine water.
Xu Qinke cheered, Teacher Tuya, I got it!
Tuya was overjoyed. Quick, quick! Open the bottle and pour it out, and he will be eliminated!
Xu Qinke didnt waste any time. He opened the bottle, and splashed all the content into Fu Jinxiao, making the actors clothing wet. After successfully did it, he cheered and clapped his hands. We won!! He exclaimed.
They actually defeated Fu Jinxiao!
This achievement was something that can be boasted for a straight year. Fu Jinxiao was that hard to outsmart.
Another announcement rang out:
[Tuya is out.]
[Xu Qinke is out.]
The celebrating duo immediately froze in place. They couldnt believe what they heard. Their flabbergasted expression was forever recorded in history. Probably as a reaction meme.
The director kindly gave them an explanation, That bottle in Xu Qinkes hand is not the divine water. You took it by mistake, but according to the rules, both of you asked for something from Teacher Fu. After using what he gave you, you got eliminated.
I-Its not Its not the divine water? Tuya stammered in pure disbelief, Then, then what is it?
This kind bottle? Fu Jinxiao slowly took out another one from his bag, I bought several bottles like this from the souvenir shop for 9.9 yuan each. If you like it, I will give you another one?
Tuya fell into a long silence.
She doubted herself, and yet wanted to give Fu Jinxiao a punch.
Xu Qinke could only smile. His voice sounded like he just went through all stages of grief in a second. Teacher Fu, you are too evil.
He really couldnt outplay Fu Jinxiao. Thats just a pipe dream, so he better wake up soon.
The audiences could symphatize with him. They too, felt like just finishing a roller-coaster of emotions.
[Oh, how the turned tables]
[Damn it, I dont think I can survive one episode here.]
[Fu Jinxiao is really strong, whether its ability or IQ, its on another level than us mortals.]
[Im just another Shen Xingchen here.]
[Hahahaha, its not very harmful, but very insulting.]
[Shen Xingchen: do you think these are human words?]
In the cave of treasures, Shen Xingsui walked around for a long time according to the map. At the moment he got the treasure, the broadcast sounded. He didnt expect that Teacher Tuya and Xu Qinke were actually eliminated that quickly.
The treasure was inside a locked box, which required a special password to open.
Shen Xingsui thought of a fatal problem only one of them had the key, and that key was in Fu Jinxiaos hands!
Without the key, he really couldnt figure out the password.
Shen Xingsui racked his brains to try guessing it, but he couldnt open it after several attempts. He was going crazy. What is the password? My God, why is it so difficult
While he was working hard, someone came from outside. Under the caves dim lighting, his long figure casted a shadow that engulfed the youth, looking all mysterious and menacing. The mans voice was low, and yet, theres an imperceptible smile within. Do you need any help? Mine, preferably?
Shen Xingsui turned around
And faced Fu Jinxiao.
The box in his hand almost fell to the ground. Shen Xingsui leaned against the wall, trembling, but still pretending to be calm. Teacher Fu.
Fu Jinxiao pursed his lips. It is me.
You, why are you here? Shen Xingsui stammered a bit when speaking. But he still had to bite the bullet. I dont need your help, I can do it myself.
Fu Jinxiaos dark eyes looked at him for a moment. Are you afraid of me?
Who isnt of afraid of you?
After all, all of the guests were wiped out. Only fools wouldnt fear Fu Jinxiao.
Shen Xingsui wanted to cry, but he knew that the key was in Fu Jinxiaos hand. On top of that, his talisman was given to Xu Qinke. Now he had no password, and no divine water to fight back. He was backed into a dead end. His end was an inevitability, not a suspense.
But still, he had to try. Shen Xingsui hugged the box and tried to scare him, Teacher Fu I we have always been incompatible since ancient times; good and evil do not mix well. No matter what happens today, I must protect this box. Dont dont come here, or. or we will die together.
Fu Jinxiao only looked amused. He leaned against the wall, looking languid and smug. Is that so
Not intimidated at all, the man took a step forward and walked towards the youth. Step by step, the actors clean boots made a crisp sound when they stepped on the slate floor. With every step taken, with every sound echoed inside the cave, both made Shen Xingsuis heart pound with anxiety inside his ribcage.
Fu Jinxiao had a dominating aura. Shen Xingsui, who was in front of him, felt it hard to breathe.
A drop of cold sweat fell from Shen Xingsuis forehead.
This development was very exciting to the audience.
[Ah, ah, they are falling in love and killing each other!]
[Give the box to Teacher Fu and you will win, Suisui.]
[Shen Xingsui had no trump card, Fu Jinxiao will win this easily.]
[Suisui Its so miserable hahaha.]
[He may not know it, but Mr. Fu is really an undefeated legend. He has never lost a game before.]
[OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING! I CANT WAITT AHHHHHH]
Fu Jinxiao walked up to Shen Xingsui, stretching out his long arms
And successfully caged the youth inside it.
Shen Xingsui, whose legs were already weak, was trembling all over. He and Fu Jinxiao locked their eyes. The actors eyes looked particularly dark, with hidden aggression and excitement inside. Looking at it in such a short range made Shen Xingsui felt like hes a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Fu Jinxiao leaned over forcefully, and Shen Xingsui closed his eyes subconsciously in fear, waiting for the director to announce his elimination.
He waited and he waited.
After a long time, what he felt was an icy cold touch on his hand. He opened his eyes cautiously, and found a small porcelain bottle in the palm of his hand.
The distance between the two men was extremely close. Shen Xingsui could hear Fu Jinxiaos steady breaths at this range.
Fu Jinxiaos posture was not of oppression it was of protection. The actor looked down at the youth, almost burying his face on Shen Xingsuis shoulder.
His voice was low and magnetic, whispered close to his ears, making it hot and itchy.
His tone was like coaxing a child, or maybe, a lover
You can kill me.
