I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!

Chapter 660 - 659: 813 Is a Prankster

Two identical notification sounds echoed over the ruins again.

The protagonist mentioned in these notifications was completely dumbfounded.

Mu Qiu lowered her hands from tying her hair, opened her eyes in confusion, and stared at the camera.

"What’s going on? Even with my eyes closed, 096 thinks I offended its gorgeous looks?"

Zhao Yu was also bewildered, and when Mu Qiu looked at her for answers, she raised her hands and shook her head, saying, "Don’t look at me! I didn’t even move; I was stuck right here with my palms open."

"Then what’s happening? Can just imagining 096’s appearance in my mind get detected?"

"You’re asking me, am I supposed to help you ask 096? Just wait to see which monster comes to take your life, won’t you?"

"That’s easy for you to say!" She widened her eyes and lifted the 049 card regretfully towards the camera and crew, saying, "I want to use my last chance for resurrection!"

Of course, the camera and crew wouldn’t respond.

But even the electronic voice that should have responded fell silent and refused to work, with no resurrection notification appearing.

After waiting for about one or two minutes, Mu Qiu resigned to her fate.

"Is 813 a trickster spirit? Always pushing people at such critical moments, sending them to hell."

Purifier cannot resurrect 813 and 902 victims. The countdown for 902 was still sounding, and she was the only one eliminated, which could only mean it was 813 that caused her elimination.

It was definitely Guo Yin messing with her before he got eliminated.

Even though there were so many people around, Guo Yin ran towards her, coincidentally affecting her with bad luck aura, making her an easy target for parasitism.

But how come Shu Ran’s parasitism time was so long, yet hers was halved?! Are moving NPCs really without rights?!

Zhao Yu knowingly uttered, "Oh": "It’s the second parasitism time for 813, huh. So, I win by default?"

Who knew there could be such a good fortune! 813 really is a pile of glass shards! Such a good child!

Noise came from outside the door again.

This time, it wasn’t a horrific monster like 096 or the bird beak doctor of 049, but a group of diligent part-timers.

And before they could even be seen, someone’s exaggerated laughter echoed in.

"Hahaha Mu Qiu, you also have this day!"

It was the voice of a certain elegant female star, sounding so full of schadenfreude.

It seemed that everyone guessed it was 813 that eliminated her.

As the laughter approached, Shu Ran stepped into the fast-food restaurant, visibly satisfied and happy.

"The game has ended, and 813 victims cannot be resurrected, Mu Qiu, just accept it."

Finally, it wasn’t just her suffering from 813’s tricks. Although she was still annoyed by her sudden exit, having someone in a worse spot for comparison eased her mind.

After all, Mu Qiu was so close to winning first place, getting through ninety-nine steps only to fall at the last one, terribly unfortunate.

Mu Qiu’s misery was her joy.

This conclusion could easily be drawn since she showed genuine happiness and satisfaction, with not a hint of sympathy for the eliminated contestant.

"Come on, Mu Qiu, enjoy the complete exit and removal service."

The "torment" she had endured, seeing others go through it too, brought her peace.

Mu Qiu pouted, seeing her unfiltered satisfaction, rolled her eyes, and said, "Sister Shu Ran, this mindset is unacceptable. Both of us were brought down by 813; you should go brag to Brother Cheng. He probably hasn’t gone far; you might still catch him."

"Spare her," Han Xizheng chuckled, "Just now, I saw that monster from across the street, and she almost fell into a breakfast shop’s steam pot in fright."

"Hahaha, Sister Shu Ran really is so timid!" Li Yang laughed foolishly, tilting his head back, oblivious to Shu Ran’s ominous glare.

Guan Yu nonchalantly sat down on a nearby chair, jesting, "This isn’t much. We even bet on who would win till the end, and she placed a vote for Brother Cheng, seems like she’s letting bygones be bygones."

Shu Ran’s expression froze.

Mu Qiu exclaimed, "Sister Shu Ran, are you that broad-minded? Killed by Brother Cheng, yet still voting for him?"

"... Him killing me is one thing, guessing who the winner is another; that is called a rational judgment!" Shu Ran stubbornly defended herself a bit.

Shi Yuhuai lazily commented: "But you still lost the bet."

Shu Ran: "......" Someone, please choke this man!

Trailing behind, Chu Qiu edged closer to Zhao Yu, tapping her on the shoulder, sighing without saying a word.

"Sigh—"

Zhao Yu echoed the sigh: "Sigh—"

Sighing with a sense of aged wisdom as if great things had been achieved, yet one was left old.

As Mu Qiu, who was about to interrogate Li Yang, observed their interaction, she let out a heavy "Ha."

"I knew you two were plotting together!"

Chu Qiu: "Calm down, it’s not like the scheme succeeded, right? It wasn’t 096 that eliminated you."

"Can a failed rebellion just be ignored as never happening?! When did you give her that card?"

"Isn’t it obvious," Chu Qiu raised both hands innocently: "While you and Brother Cheng both closed your eyes, we happened to open ours at the same time?"

"... You guys managed to exploit even such a short moment to scheme, quite the competitive spirit... No, wait, you guys managed to conclude a collaboration and plan my demise in such a brief window?!"

Shen Zhousong chimed in: "We discussed this on our way here, and you were among the top three targets."

"... So, this betrayal started from the very beginning?"

Her lower lip trembled as she looked at Zhao Yu in disbelief.

Just last night, they were lying in bed discussing whom to deal with first, and Zhao Yu seemed genuinely concerned, showing no sign of already joining the ’Guest Assassin Squad’ and plotting to take her out!

People’s hearts are truly inscrutable!

Zhao Yu dodged aside, hiding behind Chu Qiu and Shen Zhousong, poking her head out sheepishly:

"Don’t put it that way, I wasn’t planning to participate in this operation. But they insisted that sisters turning on each other would be entertaining! I was forced!"

Shen Zhousong glanced down at her, her face full of sincere "believe me, what I say is true" expression. If he hadn’t joined that group and been one of the initiators, he might’ve fallen for her antics.

It seemed like their analysis was right: anyone who befriends Mu Qiu probably isn’t straightforward.

Amused by the thought, he lifted his head, providing cover: "She was forced indeed, along with two others who received this dramatic task."

Guan Yu: "??? No way, it also includes our group?"

A few guest stars formed a private group to plot against regulars—truly tear-inducing.

The regular contestants started eyeing their teammates with suspicion.

Li Yang: "Guo Yin, surely not you too?"

Guo Yin immediately shook his head: "Of course not me! I staunchly refused!"

"Oh— I don’t believe it."

really is a pile of good glass shards, nicknamed ’Good Shards.’
