Chapter 620 - 619: Chen Yi Eliminated, The Last Place Determined!
The "battle" among the four male guests has entered a heated phase.
Li Yang was clutching that slip of paper, running around the whole place energetically. Chu Qiu was already gasping for breath, supporting himself on his knees and waving them off.
"Let’s take a break, take a break, I’m not going to make it."
But hoping for a break, that’s just not possible. Chen Yi rushed over to stick the paper on his exposed back.
However, even though Chu Qiu was old and lacked energy and couldn’t run, he had a knack for dodging. Even while bent over supporting his knees, he could still twist around from facing away to facing Chen Yi.
But this move successfully tied his legs, and with an "ouch," he plopped onto the ground on his butt.
Guan Yu: "Can I cheer for someone else? My teammate is so embarrassing."
Li Yang wiped the sweat from his hair, laughing so hard he squatted down.
"Chu Qiu, your twisting is great! Your legs are all tangled up, hahaha!"
Chen Yi: "Phew, good thing I steadied myself, otherwise I would’ve slapped your chest."
"...May I ask if young hero is practicing the Mystic Palm?"
"It’s not hot on the ground? Get up and continue." Shen Zhousong blocked in front of him, casting a shadow just barely covering half of Chu Qiu’s body.
With some shade, Chu Qiu could finally open his eyes. He propped himself on the ground, sitting there exhausted, still not getting up.
"Give me just one more minute, just one minute."
The female spectators let out a "tsk" sound, expressing dissatisfaction as VIP spectators who had paid for this.
"A minute is too long, you have two seconds to recover, quickly rejoin the battle."
"Don’t stop, throw yourself back into the brawl."
"Are you playing house? You haven’t managed to stick it on anyone for several minutes."
"Only exciting moments get cheers!"
Chu Qiu glanced back at them.
"Seriously, some work until they’re dead tired, while you folks have all the fun in the world! A bunch of entertainment supremacists!"
Shen Zhousong counted the time, and when about a minute passed, he bent over and stretched out his hand to Chu Qiu.
"Come on, let’s finish this quickly, it’s too hot."
"...Please, spare me, big brother!"
Shen Zhousong, of course, showed no mercy. Once he pulled Chu Qiu up, his other hand swiftly moved to stick a slip of paper on him, the transition was so smooth, the victim almost didn’t react.
"Oh no!"
Fortunately, Chu Qiu reacted quickly, just before the slip of paper reached his armpit, he intercepted Shen Zhousong’s hand and pushed it away.
You push in, I push back.
You push again, I push back again.
He turned out to be quite strong, able to push Shen Zhousong’s arm.
The intense sticker game suddenly turned into the comedic act of pushing and shoving during festival times.
Chen Yi and Li Yang squatted on the side, watching and laughing, especially Li Yang, laughing so hard that even his saliva seemed to evaporate.
Mu Qiu and the others leaned left and right, chuckling.
"Are you two grinding grain?!"
"That slip is about to be crushed, why don’t you just stick it somewhere?"
"Chu Qiu, you’re hilarious hahahahaha..."
In the midst of this harmonious laughter, a familiar, icy voice abruptly interjected.
"Chen Yi is out!"
"Chen Yi is out!"
"Chen Yi is out!"
Guan Yu’s laughter came to an abrupt halt. She shook her head, bewilderedly looking at Chen Yi squatting across from her.
Chen Yi himself was even more bewildered.
"What, what’s happening?"
No matter what’s happening, a tall and imposing figure, 049, soon emerged from the street corner, with its eerie bird beak glinting coldly under the light.
Everyone fell silent, the spectators immediately stood up, retreating to the furthest wall corner, crammed together, each holding their breath, eyes fixed on the black cloak of 049 as it approached Chen Yi.
"Why is it me again?! No one has even stuck anything on me!"
"No, no, no, don’t come over!"
"At least let me die knowing why?!"
As 049 got closer, he sighed mournfully, accepting his fate. If he were to struggle madly like Guo Yin before, it wouldn’t change the outcome, perhaps he’d face treatment even more brutal.
Precisely because he cooperated, only one of 049 emerged this time, covering Chen Yi’s mouth with its cloak, and instead of dragging him roughly, it retreated with friendly synchronization.
Perhaps also due to Chen Yi’s height making forced dragging unfeasible.
Before "dying," Chen Yi left one last sentence.
"I’m doomed, Shi Yuhuai is going to kill me."
Those remaining on the scene watched him being taken away, not daring to breathe. Until 049 completely disappeared, they cautiously moved towards the center, maintaining a safe distance, wary of posing questions to each other.
Li Yang, cradling his head, asked despairingly, "What’s going on now?!"
Chu Qiu: "The slip of paper wasn’t even stuck on him yet!"
Guan Yu: "Man, man, man, it’s getting more and more mysterious."
Mu Qiu, stroking his chin, pondered, "Could it be 049 really has a long delay time?"
But the monster card doesn’t mention that.
Shu Ran stood far away by herself, not staying too close to them, remaining highly vigilant against the others.
However, she didn’t look as scared as last time, even patted her chest and let out a long breath, "The last spot is taken."
Right, the last spot is gone, Shi Yuhuai and Chen Yi. This means, those with only one person left in their team don’t need to be on edge to ensure their survival anymore, and those with two still remaining in the team have even less to worry about.
Thinking about it like this, it seems rather... rather good?
"Though it might sound a bit cold-hearted," Guan Yu sighed, but her expression couldn’t hide her glee when she looked up,
"Chen Yi really sacrificed himself at just the right moment! Thank you for your contribution to the team!"
Sorry! Chen Yi! Sorry! Sorry!
Apologizing in her mind three times assuming the other would automatically accept it, Guan Yu did so, then linked hands with Chu Qiu to spin around in celebration.
"Now we can play without worrying, at worst, we go back and slurp instant noodles! At least it’s not the last spot!"
Shu Ran: "...Don’t you want to know the cause and effect of Chen Yi being ousted?"
"Who cares, it’s not us anyway." The two continued to hold hands and spin.
Shu Ran rolled her eyes, hugging her arms, and went over to ask Mu Qiu.
"Did you see clearly? Did anyone secretly make a move on Chen Yi?"
Mu Qiu shook his head, Zhao Yu followed along shaking his head.
"We didn’t see anything. When Big Brother Chu Qiu and Brother Shen were pushing each other, Li Yang and Brother Chen Yi were squatting down watching, they were quite far away, and no one went over. Li Yang, did you notice anything off?"
"I think 049 is targeting me."
The last one was his teammate, now it’s his opponent.
Mu Qiu glanced at him, "You’re overthinking it, 049 isn’t that indiscriminate."
"......"
"Brother Shen, how about you, did you see anything?"
Shen Zhousong had just discarded the crumpled piece of paper and turned back, shaking his head, "Didn’t feel anything unusual, the three of us all interacted with him earlier, but each of us still has our slip, so logically it shouldn’t be our slip causing it.
Could it be that the way this card is used isn’t like this at all?"
