Viewers in the live stream got goosebumps from Zhu Mingyue's enigmatic smile.
[Oh my god, Zhu Mingyue's smile is so creepy! She looks like a cunning, naturally wicked woman from a novel!]
[Huh? Didn't she hide in Suite One with Su Ying? When did she get to the fourth floor?]
[Hahahaha, our Yueyue never even entered Suite One from beginning to end, she was fooled, wasn't she... Zhu Jinchao isn't the only one who knows how to use such a feint.]
[My god, these two sisters are both incredibly brain-dead! We really can't play this game without them being nerfed!]
[Sobbing, you guys make even a game of hide-and-seek so mentally taxing! Did you even consider how my Lei Zi feels? This kind of advanced strategy is beyond his intelligence! You're making him look like a dog.]
"Chao Chao, Mingyue's phone is on silent. Do we have any other way to expose her location?"
Once the air had circulated sufficiently, Shi Jing carefully put the mattress back, then turned her head to look in Zhu Jinzhao's direction and asked.
Zhu Jinchao frowned, deep in thought about this question.
Zhu Mingyue's phone was muted, and Fang Lei and the others couldn't find her in Suite 1, which meant that she was very likely like Zhu Jinzhao, making a feint by pretending to hide in the room from the beginning.
If that's the case, then Zhu Mingyue should be hiding on the fourth, second, or first floor.
Now that Fang Lei and his group have gone to the second floor, there's a one-in-three chance they'll find Zhu Mingyue.
Besides making a phone call, what other methods could be used to force Zhu Mingyue to reveal her location?
"Chao Chao?"
When Shi Jing didn't hear a response from Zhu Jinzhao, he tentatively called her name again.
She bit her lip and replied softly, "Don't make a sound, I'm grilling."
"...Huh?" Shi Jing's thoughts were instantly thrown into chaos.
"You, you're barbecuing? How come you're still doing your lousy side job even while hiding under the bed?"
"...Huh?" Zhu Jinzhao was taken aback. After realizing the teasing in Jing's words, he smiled and burst out laughing.
"You're so annoying! Why are you still bringing that up?!"
Shi Jing laughed, "Didn't you say you were 'barbecuing'? I thought you took advantage of your free time to take on a part-time job at a barbecue restaurant."
"...I didn't!" Zhu Jinzhao's smile remained, but she pretended to be angry, taking advantage of Shi Jing's inability to see. "I just misspoke for a moment, don't take this opportunity to laugh at me."
"Okay, okay." Shi Jing always listened to her. If she forbade him to laugh, then he wouldn't laugh.
"I won't laugh at Chaochao anymore. Now, Chaochao, do you have any ideas on how to make Zhu Mingyue reveal her location?"
"Hmm..." Zhu Jinzhao thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I haven't thought of anything yet."
Shi Jing said gently, "No rush, take your time to think about it."
[Wait, neither of you is in a rush to think! Someone tell me first, what exactly is "that thing" you're referring to today? I have a feeling you two are hiding something from us.]
[Secret? You two have a secret? How could you two have a secret behind my back?! I don't care, I want to hear it!]
[What secret is it? Let Li Zi hear it too, okay? Li Zi can lie between you two!]
[“The moon is so beautiful tonight!” Let’s get this going! This is our home turf, “Mirror Today’s Exam”!]
【Huh? What do you mean by "the moon is beautiful tonight"? I'm from the countryside, I don't understand what you're saying.】
Shi Jing's joke just now gave Zhu Jinzhao some inspiration. After a moment's thought, Zhu Jinzhao suddenly came up with a not-so-reliable idea.
"Shi Jing, I think this time, Xiao Chen will also hide in the same place as Mingyue."
"So?" Shi Jing didn't understand what she meant. "So what do you want to do?"
Zhu Jinzhao pursed her lips, her lychee-like eyes curving mischievously in front of the camera.
"I want to attack Xiao Chen and Mingyue at the same time, just like I did before."
Upon hearing this, Shi Jing raised an eyebrow: "Has Chaochao come up with a way to make Zhu Mingyue reveal her location?"
Zhu Jinzhao smiled mischievously: "It's a rather unreliable method, and I don't even know if it will work."
Shi Jing: "Whether it succeeds or not, we'll know once we try. Tell me, how do you want me to cooperate?"
Zhu Jinzhao opened her phone, pondered for a moment, and then started typing in the WeChat chat box: "I'll send you a few paragraphs of text in a bit, and you can forward them directly to Mingyue."
Shi Jing: "Okay."
"No." Zhu Jinzhao immediately changed his mind after saying that, "Don't send it to Mingyue first, send it to Xiao Chen first."
"What's wrong?" Shi Jing asked, somewhat puzzled.
Zhu Jinzhao calmly analyzed: "When we were searching for people in the first round of the game, we found Xiao Chen first, and then we determined Mingyue's hiding place. Mingyue is so smart, she should know that bringing Xiao Chen with her would risk implicating her, so I suspect that the two of them may have hidden separately in this round."
“Hmm.” That made a lot of sense, and Shi Jing completely agreed. But he still had a question: “Then why don’t we send the things to Mingyue first, but instead send them to Xiao Chen?”
Zhu Jinzhao explained, "Because I think this might easily expose Xiao Chen, but it might not necessarily catch Mingyue. If we send it to Mingyue first, she will immediately notify Xiao Chen once she sees through it, and then we might not be able to catch anyone."
"Ah..." Shi Jing understood what she meant now, "It means picking the softest persimmon first."
Zhu Jinzhao: "...You could say that."
Oh no, that woman, Zhu Jinzhao, has another wicked idea in her head!
[“Little Chen is in danger!”]
【Ahhhh, Chaochao, charge! Chaochao, fish them all out! Then we'll be number one again!】
"Chao Chao, what are you going to send me?" Shi Jing asked, bored and curious, while waiting for a message.
Zhu Jinzhao suppressed a laugh: "You'll find out in a moment."
Then I continued typing on my phone.
—Even jokes have their limits. (Louis XVI)
Why did the priest go to Japan? Because there was a little boy in Japan.
—A child lost four fingers while playing with a sealing machine. Doctor: How are you feeling? Child: (Thumb)
After editing the three paragraphs, I laughed for three minutes before finally deciding to post them.
Shi Jing: "...Are you sure you want to send this?"
Zhu Jinzhao pursed his lips and said, "Prosper!"
Shi Jing: "...But I don't have Xiao Chen's WeChat."
Zhu Jinzhao: "...Then forward this to Xiao Li and have Xiao Li send it over."
Shi Jing: "It's out."
Hahahaha!
Ning Shi and Fang Lei were rummaging through the clutter in the hallway when suddenly, a vase behind them emitted a strange, eerie laugh.
"Mom!" Ning Shi was startled and almost instantly jumped behind Fang Lei.
"Why is there suddenly laughter coming from the vase? Is it haunted?"
"It's not haunted." Fang Lei calmly stared at the huge vase, which was almost as tall as a person, and said in a calm tone, "It's disturbing people."
