As the ten-minute countdown began, the two groups of guests responsible for hiding quickly dispersed from the living room.

Ning Shiyi was highly skilled and daring; she actually wanted to hide with Zhu Jinzhao.

She tugged at Shi Jing's clothes with one hand and held Zhu Jinzhao's wrist with the other, pleading, "Shi, you stinky guy, Jinzhao, I'll be with you guys this time, can you take me with you?"

"..." Shi Jing didn't speak, but only cast a pleading look at Zhu Jinzhao.

Zhu Jinzhao frowned, then said with a charming laugh, "Ning Shi, if you're not afraid that I might accidentally reveal your location, then feel free to hide with us."

"..." Ning Shi blinked and stared blankly for a moment, then took a deep breath, her expression changed slightly, and she released Zhu Jinzhao and Shi Jing.

"goodbye!"

The two concise words perfectly conveyed her fear and her desire to live.

[Hahahaha, Shi Bao is killing me with laughter! She was so focused on sticking the Time Mirror together that she forgot about the dangerous presence of Zhu Jinzhao!]

Even Zhu Mingyue wouldn't dare hide with her sister; Ning Shi must have borrowed five hundred lives from the heavens!

[Wow, Zhu Jinchao's smile just now was so chilling! She's practically a heartless little girl!]

[So what if she's a heartless little loli? She wishes that even a little loli made of shit could completely subdue Shi Jing!]

[Big Socks, while your words may be crude but the logic is sound, this is fucking too crude! It's bordering on the crudeness of your great-uncle's house.]

"Where are we hiding this time, Jinzhao?" Shi Jing asked, standing in front of Zhu Jinzhao and looking down at her.

She glanced up at Fang Lei, who was constantly looking back at her from upstairs, and smiled faintly, saying, "Let's go up to the second floor first, and then come down to the first floor via another staircase."

"Let's go." Shi Jing winked at Xiao Li, then followed Zhu Jinzhao up to the second floor before asking, "Going to the first floor? Where do you want to hide on the first floor?"

Zhu Jinzhao: "I won't hide. I'll stand right under their noses and see if they can find me."

Shi Jing: "Hmm?"

[What the heck is Zhu Jinchao trying to do? What does "standing right under their noses" even mean?]

[No, that's completely wrong. I predict this round will be a huge disaster.]

Judging from Zhu Jinzhao's malicious smile, he's probably planning something exciting.

At the end of the corridor on the second floor, there was an external staircase. The three of them first walked through the corridor openly, and then sneaked back to the first floor along the staircase.

However, instead of going into the living room on the first floor, he stayed under the eaves of the villa.

The rain had subsided considerably by this time, but the fine, dense raindrops still formed a very threatening patch.

Xiao Li reached out and caught some water dripping from the eaves, looking at Zhu Jinzhao with a puzzled expression: "Jinzhao, it's still raining heavily outside, are we just going to hide under the eaves?"

Zhu Jinzhao shook her head, but did not explain. Instead, she grabbed Xiao Li's wrist and said, "Xiao Li, do you know which members of the production crew are wearing wigs?"

"Wigs..." Xiao Li thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, several people have wigs. Why?"

Zhu Jinzhao suddenly sped up her speech: "While there's still time, hurry up and borrow two wigs for me... No, not just wigs, I also need to borrow a laptop, a cell phone, two pairs of glasses, and preferably two pieces of women's clothing."

"Go quickly!"

"Okay, I'll go right now!" Although he didn't know what Zhu Jinzhao needed these things for, Xiao Li rushed to the staff's temporary office as quickly as possible.

After thinking about what Zhu Jinzhao had just asked for, Shi Jing suddenly understood what Zhu Jinzhao wanted to do.

"Chao Chao, the dangerous game you mentioned, you don't mean we have to hide under the eaves and cosplay as staff members, do you?"

Zhu Jinzhao winked at him: "Smart!"

【What?! They're going to cosplay as staff members today?! That's unbelievable!】

[Holy crap, what kind of weird stuff is going on in Zhu Jinzhao's head? I suggest calling in Bureau 749 to come and investigate!]

[Cosplaying as staff? Hide-and-seek can be played like this?]

Why can't we do it this way? As long as the hunter can't spot her, then she's done her job hiding.

[Damn... Zhu Jinzhao's reaction was just as shocking as seeing her ride an old lady through a red light.]

Time was of the essence, and Xiao Li acted swiftly. In less than three minutes, she ran back under the eaves with the things Zhu Jinzhao had instructed her to give her.

"Today, the wig, cell phone, and laptop you wanted are all here."

Zhu Jinzhao accepted them one by one and then piled them all on the bench next to him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Li. There are three minutes left, so you should hurry up and get ready too."

"...How am I supposed to clean this up?" Xiao Li blinked blankly, not yet realizing what Zhu Jinzhao was planning to do.

As Zhu Jinzhao put on his wig, he explained, "This time, the three of us won't hide anywhere; we'll just change our appearance to disguise ourselves as staff. But since you are already a staff member, you don't need these things. You can easily evade the hunters' search by just changing your hairstyle or wearing glasses."

"Ah..." After hearing Zhu Jinzhao's explanation, Xiao Li suddenly realized.

"Awesome!" Without saying anything more, she gave Zhu Jinzhao a thumbs up and then ran back to the temporary office.

Zhu Jinzhao quickly put on the wig, grabbed a pair of glasses and put them on, then put the hoodie that Xiao Li had borrowed over her long sleeves.

A very simple disguise completely transformed Zhu Jinzhao.

"Is this okay?" she asked, adjusting the ends of her wig and turning to face Shi Jing.

Shi Jing tucked a strand of hair from her wig behind her ear in an affected manner, then winked at Zhu Jinchao through her thick glasses, asking in a high-pitched voice, "Chaochao, do I look good?"

Zhu Jinzhao: "..."

Although it's a bit speechless, putting aside prejudice, Shi Jing actually looks quite pretty in women's clothing.

"You're absolutely stunning." Zhu Jinzhao said the truth with a blank expression.

Shi Jing was very satisfied with this evaluation, and her expression immediately turned shy.

But the next second, Zhu Jinzhao added, "He's just a bit burly."

"..." Shi Jing pouted, and the corners of her mouth twitched noticeably twice.

"Hey, stop acting." The countdown was about to end, and Zhu Jinzhao didn't have time to joke around with him. She sat on the bench with her laptop, pulled Shi Jing to her side, and began to plan the next steps.

"Next, we don't need to do anything, just pretend to be working and pretend to be busy, and that's fine."

Shi Jing replied in a high-pitched voice, "Okay, Xiao Ai."

Zhu Jinzhao: "...Huh?"
