Chapter 559: Chapter 558: Huai Capture Task Force

No matter who let go of whom, the one who took the initiative to break away from the other person is definitely up to something.

Guan Yu immediately squinted her eyes and crossed her arms, touching her chin and speculating:

"Brother Huai definitely has a problem. From the start he’s been different, obsessing over finding food. Yet after all the searching, he was caught wandering alone. Maybe he’s looking for the monster files!"

Why try to find the monster files right off the bat? It’s certainly the sign of a betrayer!

"Brother Huai is definitely the betrayer," she said with absolute certainty.

Li Yang and Mu Qiu immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, definitely."

Whether he is or not is irrelevant; what’s important is just wanting to vote Shi Yuhuai out.

"Let’s vote him out in the first round. If he truly is a betrayer, it’s a lucky hit. If we get it wrong, no problem — better to kill by mistake than to let him off!"

Mu Qiu spoke passionately, looking determined to get rid of Shi Yuhuai.

But in the next second, she was contradicted.

"The director only said we could recognize who the betrayer is, but didn’t say we could vote him out afterward," Zhao Yu, being detail-oriented, pointed out.

"Ha? There’s such a tiny detail?" Mu Qiu was a bit confused, recalling the rules announced at the beginning, which indeed didn’t say you could directly vote the suspect out.

"Then can we only resolve him by finding the monster files? But the betrayer can use the files to kill, Purifier can save people, and the civilians can neither kill nor save; they just wait to be killed and rescued, without any chance to push the plot forward."

This seems to be a big problem, and everyone lowered their heads to think.

"I thought it was Werewolf Kill, but after all, it’s Scripted Kill, a kind where only one remains," Mu Qiu sighed.

Beside her, Cheng Zhirang looked up again, but this time didn’t rush to ask questions.

Mu Qiu tilted her head slightly, at an angle the camera couldn’t catch, and winked subtly at him.

Will explain to you alone later~

Cheng Zhirang slightly curled his lips and lowered his eyes.

Shen Zhousong noticed their small interactions but pretended not to see and raised his hand to ask a difficult question: "There are twelve of us, only the last one standing is the winner, but there are only five monsters.

Doesn’t this mean each monster can kill an indefinite number of people; possibly the first monster released might wipe us all out?"

Chu Qiu: "Moreover, we completely don’t know what the released monster is like, even guarding against it is hard. It could silently disappear, and by the time of the one-hour talk later, I might be gone, sisters."

Sisters: "..."

Guan Yu rolled her eyes, not wanting to speak.

Guo Yin smiled along with Li Yang, not trying to grab the camera time to speak more. Zhao Yu didn’t say much either, even if she had thoughts, she kept them to herself.

Being a veteran fan, she’s seen countless "editing black spots."

Marketing accounts tend to kick people when they’re down, using randomly edited clips from variety shows to smear celebrities caught in scandals.

Now, here there are many celebrities, most quite popular, so she dared not speak too much.

Thus she just leaned by Mu Qiu, listening more and saying less, occasionally acting a bit. When she couldn’t bear it anymore and wanted to guide things, she’d poke Mu Qiu.

Then "spokesperson" Mu Qiu would speak up.

"Thinking about it, although complex, we can solve the problem from the root.

Starting now, we focus on finding those five monster files, quickly grasping the monsters in hand, so the betrayer can’t casually release them to massacre."

Guo Yin hesitantly asked: "What if there’s a betrayer among us?"

Mu Qiu narrowed her eyes, scanning the circle of people in front.

Zhao Yu: "Don’t look at me, I’m a good person! A citizen!"

Li Yang: "Why look at me?! I didn’t get any notice saying I’m a betrayer!"

Guo Yin also raised his hand immediately: "I’m not either! I’m a good person!"

Guan Yu: "Hey, hey, hey? Why are you looking at me? If they aren’t, does it mean I am? I’m in the good camp, like a prophet!"

Chu Qiu: "Of course, I’m a good person too!"

Guo Yin and Shen Zhousong also claimed they weren’t betrayers. Cheng Zhirang, even more, wasn’t. Those eyes staring at her while saying he’s not a betrayer simply closed the door to further suspicion.

"I also didn’t receive any prompts of a special identity."

Although still skeptical, Mu Qiu indicated that since this just started and the first round hasn’t been played yet, apart from Shi Yuhuai’s suspicious behavior, nothing else is evident.

"If everyone is being truthful, then among Sister Shu Ran, Brother Huai, Chen Yi, and Brother Han are the betrayers. The Purifier remains uncertain, possibly one of them left, or perhaps among us."

While listening and thinking, Zhao Yu naturally continued: "So now we must keep a close eye on these four and at the same time consistently seek the monster files throughout this."

Mu Qiu nodded, the cooperation between the two seemed natural and smooth: "That’s our most urgent task."

Li Yang asked curiously: "Then, what about eating?"

"This is easy," Guan Yu snapped her fingers, winking, "Since Brother Huai has proactively taken on the task of finding food, he surely should come up with some results.

Let’s leave this matter to him, telling him we’ll handle finding the betrayer and saving the lives, all he needs to do is focus on food searching."

Cheng Zhirang raised an eyebrow: "Brother Huai might not agree."

"Whether he agrees, he must agree," Guan Yu raised her fist like a sandbag.

Her stance looked formidable, but two seconds later she withdrew it, sheepishly: "Forget it, I’m not very confident in straight men."

Mu Qiu let out an expected "tsk—" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

A group of people stood in a shaded area of ruins, some standing, some crouching, for a good while analyzing and deploying.

And decided to temporally establish a "no lying or you’ll be last" pact, barely forming the "Catch Huai Squad."

Under the glaring sun, after ten minutes, the group who had been screaming and chatting all along became thirsty and tired.

Li Yang just sat on the ground, tilting his neck to wipe sweat, looking agitated like a panting dog.

"Is there any water? No food, no drink either?"

Mu Qiu was also dry-mouthed, licking her lips and looking around, saying, "There’s a supermarket here, right? If the production team left food and drink, the likelihood they left them in the supermarket should be higher."

But Shi Yuhuai and Chen Yi, along with the perpetually missing Shu Ran and Han Xizheng, might have already sought them out.

After all, talking about food, aside from the initially mentioned fast-food restaurant, the supermarket is the next thought; they wouldn’t give up the place when searching for food.

Previously, Shi Yuhuai walked from the opposite side of the ruins to the museum, aimlessly wandering while seeming purpose-driven, nothing resembling finding food.

Therefore, it’s unknown if the supermarket is similar to the fast-food restaurant, lacking food and drink, with only terrifying things awaiting them.

Just as the thought of horror crossed her mind, a high-pitched, chilling, and destructively strong female soprano scream suddenly echoed out, maintaining the same frequency, quickly spreading across the sky of the entire ruins.
