"Damn it! I request to rejoin the competition. Whoever wants this qualifying spot can have it! I want to go back into the competition now!"

"That's right, I just cheated! We didn't advance at all, and those teams weren't the ones we eliminated; we just happened to pass by."

Hearing that Tan had even come up with a fabricated excuse of just passing by in order to get back into the competition, the three teams that had previously eliminated them exchanged uncompromising glances and laughed mercilessly at them.

"Weren't you in a hurry to eliminate us? Now you know you regret it?"

"That's naive. With your level of strength, how could you possibly win first place? The top teams are all looking for treasures, otherwise trash like you would have been eliminated long ago."

Hearing their defeated opponents' sarcasm, the passengers temporarily calmed down. One of them sneered, "If we're trash, then what are you, who were eliminated by trash? Trash among trash?"

At this moment, the staff finally arrived, the same one who had been driven to desperation and thrown a passenger into the audience. He had a professional smile on his face. "Were you the ones who said you were cheating?"

Upon seeing that the staff had been summoned by them, the passengers immediately forgot about their defeated opponents and hurriedly stated that it was indeed their idea, hoping to return to the competition and play again, otherwise it would be unfair to the other teams.

The staff member seemed to think carefully for a moment before asking, "Are you all sure you admit to cheating before?"

By this time, some passengers had instinctively sensed something was wrong, but some were too excited and quickly confirmed it. Suddenly, the excited crowd felt their wrists lighten; all the bracelets they were wearing had disappeared. Now, those passengers who had already noticed something was wrong were stunned. After realizing what had happened, they shouted, "Their decision has nothing to do with us! We didn't cheat!"

"It has been confirmed that you cheated. You are now disqualified from continuing the competition. Please watch the competition quietly. If you are too noisy, someone may take care of you. In that case, whatever your fate is, it will have nothing to do with Time Bus."

The staff member's words were packed with information, leaving the passengers completely bewildered. As if to appease the staff, they immediately felt countless eyes on them. They frantically looked around, only to find themselves staring at other spectators in the audience. These weren't passengers, but rather people who had been seated there before they arrived. No one knew their identities, but now it seemed their identities were anything but simple…

The invisible pressure made the passengers grit their teeth and return to their seats. Once they were back in their seats, they finally felt the gazes directed at them disappear, and the pressure vanished with them. But those few minutes felt like an eternity, and their faces, foreheads, and bodies were covered in fine sweat.

"Holy crap... I've never felt so close to death before, not even in mission worlds..."

"What exactly are they... hmph... what are their backgrounds? I thought they were just ordinary spectators before, but now it seems that each of them has a more complicated identity."

Knowing that there might be some terrifying beings lurking among the audience members sitting around them, they dared not even speak too loudly. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't use their phones while in the audience, they would really like to communicate using their phones.

"I don't know, this is my first time here. Anyway, everyone please be quiet and don't provoke them."

The passengers who had been eliminated by them saw their humiliation and all showed mocking expressions. They hadn't felt anything since those gazes hadn't been directed at them, and even thought these people had poor mental fortitude, being so frightened by being disqualified from the competition.

"Haha, do you guys really have to be like this?"

"As for it, of course it is. Tsk tsk tsk, some people were just laughing at us for being defeated, but now look what happened, they've even been disqualified from the competition because of their own actions."

However, the passengers who were sitting properly in their seats only glanced up at them and did not show any anger. To the passengers who had mocked them, it was like punching cotton, leaving no mark at all. In fact, they even injured themselves because they had used too much force.

In the current competition venue, the information Lin Guaiji provided about the extraterrestrial invaders did not contain anything they wanted to know. There was no information about any of their own people being assimilated into the extraterrestrial invaders. In other words, they would have to figure out the way forward on their own.

After all, from the moment they met until now, Lin Guaiji and his entire team had maintained a good attitude. Although they didn't know if it was because they hadn't gotten the egg yet, so they had to treat them with courtesy for the time being, once they said it, Mo Shuwan and the others had no intention of going back on their word.

"Take the egg."

Lin Guaiji caught the egg that Wen Zuo threw to him. He weighed it in his hand to make sure it was intact, then nodded to Mo Shuwan and the others, took the egg, and turned to leave.

Seeing Lin Guaiji return carrying the egg, Su Xuan raised an eyebrow, waved to Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, and said, "Good luck to you two."

Unexpectedly, Su Xuan would give them his blessings. Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo were both stunned for a moment, then raised their hands and waved, "You too."

Zhou Quansheng greeted them with a smile, and the meeting between the two teams ended peacefully. Apart from Yun Chenjing and Cheng Hua, Mo Shuwan and the others were quite satisfied with the meeting and conversation. Although they couldn't find out the reason for Chen Jiaxu's current situation or how to solve it, they at least learned a lot.
