Free Web NovelChapter 658: Chapter 657: SCP-096’s Finisher
Who would’ve thought, a hot pot coupon could support an alliance between two people who were supposed to be opponents.
Guan Yu cursed herself again, why did she bring this person to this show in the first place, causing such embarrassment! freёwebnovel.com
Her six episodes of wisdom were about to be ruined.
Chu Qiu didn’t feel embarrassed at all, jubilantly saying, "Anyway, it’s a useless card, isn’t it better to exchange it for a high-value hot pot coupon?"
Li Yang faked a smile: "Since I’m the one playing the card, right? Brother Chu Qiu, I should get half of that hot pot coupon."
Chu Qiu: "......" The deep-fried chicken won’t even let go of a hot pot coupon?
As they argued over the hot pot coupon with their swords drawn, the others were already considering switching alliances.
Shen Zhousong: "Can we still change now? I also want to vote for Zhao Yu."
Shi Yuhuai: "No, you can’t."
Chen Yi sighed from where he was sitting on the ground: "The joy and stakes are yours. I just want the game to end quickly. I want to know how I ended up out."
For people like Shen Zhousong, the reason for elimination was obvious. But for him, along with Guan Yu and Guo Yin, they still had no idea how they were eliminated.
When they asked others who got out later, they also said they didn’t know... Who even knows if they were telling the truth.
This unresolved mystery is truly killing off his brain cells.
He sighed deeply, and Guan Yu followed with a sigh.
"Right, and I haven’t even found out who’s responsible for taking me out. If I find out who silently did me in—"
Guan Yu cracked her knuckles menacingly and coldly laughed: "Just wait for the storm of revenge."
Among the group, one person’s expression changed almost imperceptibly.
Because they made a bet, and the result of that bet affected everyone’s dinner, all the unemployed guests were very concerned about the final outcome.
Each one was ready and waiting, even Shi Yuhuai was casually evening out the paint on his face, waiting for the electronic announcement, ready to carry people at a moment’s notice.
As they expected, it didn’t take long for the elimination announcement, the final showdown between the last three ended quickly, and the announcements came in succession, directly revealing the first place.
"Mu Qiu eliminated! Mu Qiu eliminated! Mu Qiu eliminated!"
"Cheng Zhirang eliminated! Cheng Zhirang eliminated! Cheng Zhirang eliminated!"
As soon as the announcement ended, a long beep—sounded across the ruins.
A cold mechanical voice delivered the final sentence of this show.
"Game over! Game over! Game over! All guests, please return to the entrance of the ruins!"
At the same time, the nerve-wracking countdown sound also disappeared together.
The game was over.
Inside the small room, the atmosphere froze for two seconds, then erupted into a boiling noise.
Li Yang: "Oh man! It really was Zhao Yu!"
Guan Yu: "A double kill with one move?! Brother Cheng and Mu Qiu both went down?"
Shen Zhousong: "That was a major upset."
Shi Yuhuai: "... I’ll have Mu Qiu pay for my meal."
Huai was truly disappointed, he had such high hopes for her and even bet a bowl of food!
Guo Yin shuffled over and shyly asked: "Is that allowed? If mine is the spicy hot pot, can I also have Sister Mu Qiu pay for it?"
Shu Ran: "To tell you the truth, not even the end of the world could make that happen."
Guo Yin: Whimper, whimper, there goes his dinner.
Only Chu Qiu didn’t find it strange at all, he said leisurely: "She definitely held onto the fifth card, and Brother Cheng and Mu Qiu didn’t know beforehand."
Wonderful, even though he lost first place himself, he played a part in the success of the ultimate winner, and it felt good to be the fish nurturer behind the scenes.
He stood up, stretched his body, feeling great: "Thanks, everyone. Remember to give me a dish later."
Others: "......"
Pleeeease, agents and assistants, don’t order a one-pot meal for them for dinner!
Guan Yu, as a teammate, still had to contribute a bowl of food and felt utterly annoyed: "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eat, it’s not like the show’s been short on food because of you... Okay, maybe it is. Ahem, let’s discuss this; we’re teammates after all, so let’s skip my bowl of food."
Just as the words fell, they heard Shu Ran sneered from the side.
Guan Yu glanced over and also sneered.
Don’t think a bowl of food means nothing; she now felt her assistant might even order her a spicy hot pot or something similar, thinking she’d reward her with some meal she liked since she couldn’t eat or drink well on the show. If it came down to a one-pot meal, she’d definitely throw a fit, got it?
Chu Qiu put on his hat: "Sure, sure. Let’s go and carry the girl. Then it’s time to enjoy my grand feast, la la la la~~"
...
The scene shifts back to the showdown location.
The ending came without warning.
Mu Qiu was still being held by Cheng Zhirang twisting her hand, while Zhao Yu was crouching and looking up at them. The two standing were shocked, and the one crouching was beaming.
The result was in.
The hand that Zhao Yu had in her pocket was still in Mu Qiu’s pocket, but in her other hand was another gleaming card. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
The card faced up, and the engraved monster image was clear.
SCP—096, The Shy Guy.
This card was unexpectedly pulled out, and Cheng Zhirang and Mu Qiu were so focused on watching her draw the card that when the card was revealed, they both didn’t close their eyes in time.
One card decisively took out two strong players.
After the electronic announcement, there was a prolonged silence between the three.
Then they heard Zhao Yu’s cheeky laughter.
"Sorry, I forgot, this card was on me. I just wanted to show it to you. Thanks for the game, thanks for the game."
"Hehehe—"
Mu Qiu gave a forced smile without any expression, struggling to free her pinned hand.
The man behind her, who had been holding tightly, wisely loosened his grip and stepped back two paces.
Then she reached behind her, retrieved a card from under her mic, and lifted it to see.
"SCP—902, The Final Countdown. You pretended to have Li Yang’s card as 096?"
Each word was spoken through gritted teeth.
Zhao Yu landed on her butt and scrambled backward with all her limbs.
"Don’t get worked up, life has its ups and downs, there’s always winning and losing. We agreed earlier we’d all go for first place, who wouldn’t want to win, right? You might as well take it as—"
"Take it as, falling into a ditch?"
Who would deny it, wasn’t it just falling into a ditch. Mu Qiu had always conned allies into tricking others, and now she was duped by her own teammate.
And up until just now, she didn’t know a thing, hadn’t even suspected; she was solely focused on planning how to team up to take down Cheng Zhirang.
She closed her eyes and took deep breaths to suppress her shock, holding up the 902 card between two fingers toward her, asking: "So what role did Li Yang play in this?"
Could it be that Li Yang’s brain suddenly became clairvoyant, knowing he wouldn’t make it to the end, so he generously gifted someone else a card, hoping that another person would win first place?
Doesn’t seem like it, since when could Li Yang think like that?
