[Nonsense! It's clearly me who's going to live on for you!]
[I really want to cure the love-struck viewers in the comments section. Ye Chu clearly isn't interested in Chu Zixin.]
[To criticize someone for being love-struck, start with Chu Zixin; he was the one who started it. [Delicious]]
"So—" Ye Chu took back the instrument, shook it, "How about forming an alliance with me?"
Di Ting raised an eyebrow, stepped forward, and patted Ye Chu on the shoulder in a friendly manner: "I couldn't be happier."
Ye Chu tossed the device to Di Ting: "Just enter your name on it."
After fiddling with it for a while, Diting finally typed in its name. After pressing "Confirm," the device's screen changed:
[Conspirator - Ye Chu and Destroyer - Chu Zixin]
Allied!
Whether it was the show's producers' quirky sense of humor or not, after this image finished displaying, a huge heart popped up on the screen, which looked extremely tacky.
Ye Chu & Chu Zixin: "..."
"Regardless, we are now officially allied." Ye Chu patted Di Ting's shoulder twice. "Now I can tell you, I am an undercover agent."
Holy crap?!
【ah? 】
[I knew it! How could Ye Chu, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, not be a member of the underground? Heh heh]
I wanted to be surprised, but I just burst into laughter.
[But didn't He Xi already try it? Ye Chu is an undercover agent...]
Did Ye Chu also deceive Chu Zixin?
Help! My brain isn't working properly.
Ye Chu was an accomplice; her ability was to form alliances with others, so she shouldn't have the ability to forge an identity.
Why did she lie to Chu Zixin then?
[We can't just tease Chu Zixin because he's cute, can we?]
I can no longer understand this program.
The screen was filled with rows of question marks and exclamation marks, densely covering the faces of Di Ting and Ye Chu.
Unlike the comments, Di Ting showed no surprise whatsoever: "It really is you. You have the face of a natural undercover agent—so am I an undercover agent now?"
“That’s right.” Ye Chu nodded. “Mr. Fence-Sitter, I just saw that it says your identity is a Destroyer? What are your abilities? Can you break the rules?”
"It's not that powerful," Di Ting waved his hand. "It can only eliminate others."
"Tsk." Ye Chu frowned. "Kill whoever you want?"
“I haven’t finished speaking yet,” Di Ting said quietly. “Although I can eliminate others, I will also be eliminated myself when I eliminate that person.”
Ye Chu chuckled: "Kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred of your own."
“That’s why it’s called the Destroyer.” Di Ting shook his head. “This ability is too useless.”
Ye Chu shook his head and sighed: "Do you think I'll let you keep killing like this?"
"I've explained all my abilities. It's your turn. Miss Undercover, what was written on the card I just rescued from the field?"
Ye Chu took out the card she had just peeled from the plastic bag from her pocket and handed it to Di Ting. Di Ting read aloud:
"Elimination Card"
"Write the name and corresponding correct identity on the card to eliminate the player."
Precautions:
First, if the corresponding identity information is entered incorrectly, this card will be invalid.
Second, players can only eliminate opposing players. If a player chooses to eliminate their own teammate, the player who wrote down the name is immediately eliminated. (For example, player A, who is being infiltrated, can only write down the name of undercover agent B. If player A writes down the name of player C, then player A is immediately eliminated, while player C is unaffected.)
Name:___
identity:___"
[Here it comes, here it comes, the Colosseum is here!]
I knew the coffin platform wasn't this kind.
I almost burst out laughing.
[Does this mean only undercover agents can use this card? If the infiltrator knows who the undercover agent is, they can simply submit the answer to eliminate the agent; there's no need for this elimination card.]
There are seven undercover agents and one spy. The spy should at least be given some useful tools.
Yes, that's fair, and it benefits the undercover agent.
After Di Ting finished reading the card, he said to Ye Chu, "Alright, alright, with this prop, our team now has four members. So, our next task is to probe the identities of others?"
Ye Chu shook her head: "There can't be only one of these prop cards. Let's look for more."
Chu Zixin looked down at her and said, "You seem to have a lot of experience."
Sun Xiaoxiao also felt that Ye Chu seemed very familiar with the process of variety shows. This sense of control and ease could not be explained simply by saying that he had "taken extra lessons".
As a fan, Sun Xiaoxiao naturally didn't want to believe it was scripted. But Ye Chu had never participated in variety shows before, so how could she be so skilled?
"This is a very basic logic problem," Ye Chu said irritably. "Seven against one, oh, now it's six against two. We only win if the number of infiltrators and the undercover agents are equal at 1:1. Without props to eliminate the guests, how can the undercover agents win? Unless Ru Guan is deliberately trying to cause trouble, he will definitely arrange a lot of props!"
The live chat erupted in laughter, some laughing at Ye Chu's sharp tongue, others at Chu Zixin's naiveté. A few questioned whether it was scripted, but their laughter was quickly swept away by the tide of applause.
"I was wrong again." Di Ting shook his head and sighed. "So what do we do now?"
"Let's split up." Ye Chu put the equipment and cards back into his pocket. "Find as many cards as possible. By the way, since there are elimination cards specifically for undercover agents, there's a good chance there are also elimination items specifically for those being infiltrated. Be careful."
"OK." Di Ting snapped his fingers. "Contact me anytime. Use your pager."
Ye Chu casually brushed his finger away: "You still dare to mention pagers?"
Ye Chu and Chu Zixin's group seemed particularly unlucky. In the second round of the game, after completing their small bamboo raft, they still had some time left and wanted to take on another task. However, He Xi and Captain Shen, who happened to be passing by buying milk tea, beat them to it.
The prize for that mission was a smartphone with internet access. Such an item was practically a godsend in this game. But who would have thought that two people on vacation would snatch it up first!
Ye Chu and Chu Zixin, this unfortunate pair, could only continue using the old-fashioned pager provided by the production team.
The two then went their separate ways.
The scene shifts, and on the other side, He Xi and Captain Shen sneakily walk around the two melon trellises and spot Zheng Bohan.
Zheng Bohan was enjoying the cool shade under the melon trellis, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, closing his eyes to rest, looking very relaxed.
He Xi and Captain Shen exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.
"Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely!"
He Xi lunged forward and sprinted in front of Zheng Bohan, using a cucumber as a microphone to forcibly interview him.
The production team added a Tom and Jerry sound effect to this scene in a bizarre way.
Zheng Bohan was resting with his eyes closed when he was suddenly startled by someone making a commotion.
"Editor Zheng, are you a lurking agent or an undercover agent?"
Zheng Bohan's face fell, and he said irritably, "Of course I'm an undercover agent. How can an undercover agent be so carefree?"
As He Xi expected, she and Captain Shen said goodbye to Zheng Bohan with a laugh and went around to the eggplant field on the other side.
Before she could even stand still, He Xi's phone buzzed!
He Xi was taken aback, exchanged a glance with Captain Shen, and slowly took out her phone.
The program's dedicated account received a string of messages:
[Player Zheng Bohan just lied to you!]
[Player Zheng Bohan just lied to you!]
[Player Zheng Bohan just lied to you!]
The simplest white background with black text, for some reason, when arranged together, has a terrifying feel to it.
He Xi's eyes widened.
Captain Shen's mouth dropped open, and after a long pause, he finally said, "Editor Zheng, is he an undercover agent?"
