The camera focused on Shi Shan's palm, revealing a small green handheld fan. Shi Shan gently pressed the switch, and the light green blades began to spin, bringing a refreshing breeze from the green fields.
Amid the hum of the small fan, Shi Shan slowly said, "Zheng Bian and I have already completed three tasks, which should be enough. We don't need this for the time being, so here you go."
"Three?" Ye Chu's eyes widened, and she suddenly turned her head and glared at Di Ting.
That look made it clear: It's all your fault for having such a clumsy hand, making us do this tedious and long task!
Di Ting raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Thanks, Brother Shi." Ye Chu took the small electric fan and blew it towards her collar. The gentle breeze from the fan made her hair dance lightly.
"Why are you thanking me?" Shi Shan glanced back. "Do you need me to help you?"
"No need, it's almost finished anyway." Ye Chu replied with a smile, waved to Shi Shan, and pulled Chu Zixin towards the bamboo raft, muttering, "I can't let all this work go to waste, can I? At least let me see the raft float up with my own eyes..."
Shi Shan stood still, smiling as he watched the two figures disappear into the distance.
The barrage of comments has been exploding since the very beginning, and now it's filled with screams:
[White Album Scene]
[Such a classic composition, such a familiar scene]
[World Famous Paintings]
【It was me, it was me first, I was the one who arrived first... Whether it was to help you, to keep you company at work, or even just because I fell in love with you. Why do you say I'm late?】
I'm dying of laughter from the comments!
[This atmosphere is terrible; I'm actually getting nervous.]
I don't know why, but I find it hilarious.
A strange smell filled the air...
Shi Shan said this fan was a prize he won while completing a task, but Zheng Bohan, who accompanied him on the task, didn't appear here with him. Think about it carefully.
[Is he so eager to find Ye Chu right after winning the prize?]
[Looking back closely, before handing over the fan, Shi Shan wiped the sweat from his hands on the handle.]
[Aaaaaaaahhhhh (screams)]
[I'm totally shipping them, Shi Shan is so into the role!]
[Such a spectacular battle scene unfolded in just thirty seconds!]
[Ye Chu, in those thirty seconds after receiving the fan, were you moved by Shi Shan's fan, or were you thinking that this thing couldn't possibly be as cool as Di Ting's water gun?]
Ye Chu was probably thinking: Three tasks! Three tasks! Three tasks!
This is hellish, thank goodness I'm an animal, I've taken it!
The second round of the game ended in victory for Shi Shan's team, as expected. Shi Shan and Zheng Bohan obtained two clues.
This time it's a textual clue:
Part One: [A Hundred Faces of Life]
Second: [Amitabha Buddha]
Zheng Bohan and Shi Shan were quite generous, sharing these two clues as well.
The third game, called "The Infiltrator Game," was surprisingly set in a large vegetable garden. This prompted the guests to immediately complain: "I've never seen infiltration in a vegetable patch before. It's not infiltration, it's guerrilla warfare!"
In the height of summer, the trellises are laden with melons and fruits, and the garden overflows with vegetables. The program crew has a strict rule: the vegetables in the garden must not be damaged; otherwise, the owner must buy the vegetables at ten times the price and compensate them.
The rules of "The Infiltrator Game" are quite simple, consisting of only one sentence:
Take a stroll through the park; you might just stumble upon some incredible adventure.
The fewer the words, the bigger the matter. From this simple rule, Sun Xiaoxiao sensed a conspiracy.
It was midday, and the garden was lush and green, gleaming like jade in the sunlight. Under the verdant grapevines, He Xi was chatting quietly with Captain Shen.
“In the second round, I encountered the Director,” He Xi said in a low voice. “I tried, and he wasn’t an undercover agent either.”
The scene flashes back to He Xi's words, showing Lu Huaizhang casually saying, "I'm not an undercover agent. What kind of undercover agent would an old man like me be?"
Captain Shen nodded: "Most of the clues that Editor Zheng and Brother Shi mentioned are true. The clue I sneezed about also has four words: 'A Hundred Faces of Life.' Therefore, the phrase 'Amitabha' is also true."
"What does 'a hundred faces' mean?" He Xi muttered. "Does this person have played many roles?"
“That eliminates several people.” Captain Chen counted on his fingers, “You, me, Sister Ye, Brother Chu, Brother Shi, all of us can be ruled out. They’re so young, it’s impossible for them to have played a hundred roles, fifty would be too many.”
He Xi nodded in agreement: "The Director isn't an undercover agent, so only Editor Zheng and Deputy Director Cheng are left. Editor Zheng isn't an actor—"
"Who says it only counts if you play a role!" Captain Shen exclaimed excitedly. "Writer Zheng has written hundreds of characters!"
“Damn,” He Xi murmured, “Adding to the clues from the first round, that pen…”
"We're so lucky?" Captain Chen asked incredulously. "They figured it out already?"
He Xi shook her head: "What if 'Amitabha' is the real clue?"
"Who does Amitabha Buddha have to do with?" Captain Chen frowned. "Uh, has anyone ever played a monk?"
He Xi took out her phone: "Just search it and you'll find out."
The scene fast-forwarded, and a few seconds later, He Xi said, "Only Brother Shi has ever played a monk. But Di Ting is the mount of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, so it seems to have some connection with Amitabha Buddha..."
The two men frowned more and more deeply.
Why does it seem like there are more suspects after all this time?
He Xi and Captain Shen stood up and calculated, "Anyway, right now, the only ones who are cleared of suspicion are the two of us, Ye Chu, and the Director. Brother Shi, Di Ting, Deputy Director Cheng, and Editor Zheng are all suspects."
"In the first round of clues, neither the pen nor the tree connects to Brother Shi," Captain Chen said. "He's the least suspicious. ... The tree... Deputy Director Cheng's name is Cheng Daiqing. Could Qing also be related to the tree?"
The two pondered and deliberated, feeling restless. Finally, He Xi simply said, "Anyway, the most suspicious person right now, and the one with the most reasonable explanation, is Editor Zheng. Let's go find Editor Zheng first and 'confess and be lenient, resist and be punished severely' for him. If it's him, great; if not, we'll discuss it further!"
The couple, who had been forcibly brought together by the program team, felt that they had planned everything perfectly and went to find Zheng Bohan with high spirits.
The scene shifts.
On the other side, Shi Shan stood in front of Zheng Bohan and said politely, "Teacher Zheng, would you like to form an alliance with me?"
"An alliance?" Zheng Bohan repeated in surprise.
“Hmm.” Shi Shan nodded slightly. “I can form alliances with others to share the victory.”
Zheng Bohan sized up Shi Shan and laughed, "Don't try to fool me! If you were really capable of forming alliances, you would have already gone to Ye Zi to form one. Why would it be my turn?"
Shi Shan lowered his eyes: "I originally wanted to form an alliance with her. But it seems she already has allies and doesn't need me anymore."
The production team deliberately flashed back to the scene of Ye Chu and Chu Zixin chatting and laughing.
Zheng Bohan asked suspiciously, "Ye Chu can form an alliance? Alliances are so common in our game—besides, what benefit would I get from forming an alliance with you?"
Shi Shan chuckled softly.
“Teacher Zheng,” Shi Shan said in a startling way, “I am actually an undercover agent.”
Zheng Bohan's eyes widened, his face showing surprise.
"You already know the clues from the first and second rounds, right?" Shi Shan said methodically. "The clues from these two rounds are hard to associate with me, so it's difficult for me to be eliminated. But the clues from both the first and second rounds are easy to associate with you."
Shi Shan cleared his throat: "After you ally with me, your identity will also change to 'undercover agent'."
Zheng Bohan frowned and said, "What you're saying is strange. The clues already point to me. If I ally with you and become an undercover agent, wouldn't I be even more likely to be eliminated?"
“But even after you’re eliminated, I, the undercover agent, am still here.” Shi Shan smiled, but there was a hint of darkness in that smile. “Everyone will just be puzzled: we’ve already eliminated you, the undercover agent, so why isn’t the game over yet? But no one will suspect me.”
Shi Shan patiently explained, "In other words, I will achieve final victory. And my victory will be your victory."
