Chapter 558: Chapter 557: Brother Huai Being This Talkative Means Chu Qiu Lost

They were talking and gesturing wildly, trying their best to describe the bizarre event they just encountered, attempting to make Cheng Zhirang and Shen Zhousong also feel scared.

Unfortunately, neither of them showed any change in expression.

It looked like a farce where "the kids are desperately trying to tell their old father that there are ghosts in the world, but the old father doesn’t believe a word and just thinks they are joking."

Mu Qiu was speaking so much that her mouth was dry and just stopped talking about it.

"In any case, this place is haunted—not really haunted, but there’s something fishy going on. There are a lot of strange things in that museum. If you don’t believe me, you can go take a look yourself."

Upon hearing this, Guan Yu immediately added, "There are also strange things in that apartment building. You can go take a look too.

Although it’s clear that it’s arranged by the program team, we can’t figure out how they arranged it to achieve that, so it feels a little bit scary."

She made a tiny gesture.

Li Yang exposed her on the spot: "Come on Sister Guan Yu, your voice was so loud that it was about to make me deaf, and you call it a little bit scary. Do you know how important hearing is to a singer?"

"I only know how important it is to keep quiet for someone’s safety."

"......"

Only then did Cheng Zhirang nod slightly and agree with them.

"Everywhere here is very strange. We just went to a fast-food restaurant and found a partition inside, and inside it was an operating room."

Mu Qiu shuddered.

In horror and thriller movies, the mad scientist setup is never scarce.

As soon as she heard about the operating room, a lot of words automatically popped into her mind, such as [bio-research][locked room murder][virus leak][perverted doctor], making her shiver uncontrollably.

Cheng Zhirang looked at her, "What’s the matter?"

"It just feels a bit creepy. An operating room in a fast-food restaurant is odd, like a Biohazard scenario. It doesn’t seem like a doomsday caused by a natural disaster, but more like a man-made one."

"Could it be that twisted monster was also man-made?" Zhao Yu’s eyebrows were furrowed into two wavy lines, "So this game isn’t Werewolf but Zombie Attack?"

Guan Yu: "That’s a good theme."

"So the most important thing now is to prevent zombies and stay alive?"

Cheng Zhirang shook his head.

"I think food is still the most important. The only thing that can harm us should be the monsters in those five monster files, which haven’t been released yet. But we haven’t found any food at all."

Shen Zhousong took over and continued, "We searched every corner of the fast-food restaurant and didn’t see any food. A fast-food restaurant, even if encountering doomsday, should still have at least some scraps left, right?"

"No scraps at all? Not even any discarded items in the trash bin? And the fridge had nothing?"

Cheng Zhirang and Shen Zhousong both shook their heads: "No."

Mu Qiu and the others furrowed their brows.

Earlier they weren’t hungry, so they hadn’t paid attention to looking for food. But hearing this now, they all started to feel something was off.

"This shouldn’t be," Li Yang looked puzzled, "Could it be that the monster in this doomsday isn’t a Biohazard-type zombie, but rather... a glutton?"

Guan Yu crossed her arms, speechless, "You might as well say the garbage dump mutated."

Li Yang scratched his head, "I don’t think it’s impossible."

Guo Yin looked around at the two of them, then asked, "Hey, didn’t Brother Huai and the others go to find food? We can ask them later if they found any."

"Right, there’s also Brother Huai and the others."

Mu Qiu: "Don’t count on it."

Thinking about how Shi Yuhuai previously just wanted to eat and didn’t offer help made her angry.

"We just ran into Brother Huai."

She looked somewhat disgusted, Cheng Zhirang laughed and asked, "What did he say?"

Is it because of this outfit, when Cheng Zhirang laughs now, he doesn’t seem gentle like before, but has a bit of a roguish feel.

It’s like... a group of people sitting in a bar booth, and when he speaks, he would possessively place his hand on the back of her chair, look down with lips slightly curved, his eyes warm yet definitely not someone easy to talk to.

Mu Qiu was momentarily lost in thought, distracted for a couple of seconds but quickly came back to her senses and answered, "He said he... never mind, we’ll just show you."

She pulled Zhao Yu into a roleplay, assigning roles on the spot, demonstrating Shi Yuhuai’s earlier macho behavior vividly.

Zhao Yu played the part of the earlier Mu Qiu, pointing at the current Mu Qiu who was acting as Shi Yuhuai, her finger trembling, lips quivering, if it weren’t too exaggerated, she would’ve probably wanted to shake even her eyelids.

"Brother Huai! Don’t go! There’s something really scary inside!"

"......"

Suppressing the embarrassment, Mu Qiu held her head high, slightly lowered her eyes to glance at her, "I got it, I’ll let others not to come over."

Zhao Yu’s hands and mouth trembled even more fiercely: "That’s not what I mean! There’s really something terrifying inside! Incredibly terrifying waah waah waah!"

...She didn’t say anything like that! Her conversation with Shi Yuhuai clearly ended at the first sentence!

Mu Qiu gritted her teeth, almost unable to continue, and after a while, she imitated Shi Yuhuai’s cold macho demeanor, continuing: 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"What’s scary got to do with me? Your screams alone are enough to scare that scary thing away, especially you, Zhao Yu, right? That scream of yours I could hear from ten streets away."

It was no longer about "lively and vivid" fact-telling, but a competition of who could talk more nonsense and make the other unable to continue. It was about dignity, had to fight it out.

Zhao Yu gathered all her strength, her lower lip trembled like it was about to dislocate: "Brother Huai, you actually, you actually are so very ruthless! You are really the most macho man in the whole world!"

"Being a man is enough, what does the critique matter."

"Looking at us two weak girls..."

"Stop," Guan Yu couldn’t listen any longer, making a timeout gesture,

"Clearly, ninety percent of this performance was your own improvisation, if Brother Huai talked this much with you, Chu Qiu must’ve lost."

Chu Qiu: "......"

Guan Yu added another: "Also, if Mu Qiu can goo-goo-ga-ga at Brother Huai, Brother Cheng loses."

The atmosphere team, led by Li Yang, immediately started cheering, "wow~~"

Mu Qiu discretely flicked her hair, not saying much else.

As for Cheng Zhirang, he slightly relaxed his posture, with one hand casually in his pocket, acknowledging Guan Yu’s remark: "Then I can only win?"

"wow~wow~"

Mu Qiu coughed once.

He then switched topics, talking about the suspicious point in her earlier words.

"According to you guys, you only saw Shi Yuhuai just now? Didn’t see Chen Yi?"

Mu Qiu and Zhao Yu shook their heads: "Didn’t see him, he came out alone from the place opposite the museum, saw us at the museum, then immediately turned back."

Guan Yu: "You guys look that scary? Brother Huai saw and just nodded and left?"

"..."

"Brother Huai was alone, and separated from Chen Yi," Li Yang, who had been immersed in the show, had doubts about such details, "Did Chen Yi shake off Brother Huai, or did Brother Huai deliberately shake off Chen Yi?"
