Chapter 611 - 610: Got It, You Want to Target Brother Cheng and Guo Yin
Zhao Yu didn’t even blink, shrugged at Shen Zhousong who was two seats away.
"It’s not us."
Shen Zhousong: "How can you prove it?"
"Then how are you going to prove you’ve been at the museum all along, prove you don’t know how to use 049, and prove you didn’t target Brother Huai and Han Xizheng?"
She leaned back in her chair, her expression unchanged as she said this, as if overturning a subordinate’s conclusion during an office report.
Shen Zhousong raised his thick eyebrows: "But you’re the most suspicious."
"Using common sense to subjectively judge something is a very unwise choice."
"Sometimes, in the absence of actual evidence, using subjective conjecture to determine direction isn’t a bad method."
"Is your idea of a good method suspecting a good person? Although I have a Monster Card, I haven’t used it yet. Do you want to try?"
"Starting with threats of force now?"
Guan Yu, lying down, didn’t forget to instigate: "I’m tired of saying it, fight, fight."
Shen Zhousong leaned back: "There won’t be a fight."
Zhao Yu also leaned back, trying to look cool, powerful, and aloof.
Mu Qiu, lying in the middle, changed her position, tilted her head sideways to watch them, and finally discreetly gave Zhao Yu a thumbs-up.
Well done, face them head-on.
Cheng Zhirang glanced at her little gesture, looked at the others, and said:
"It shouldn’t be the same person who took Shi Yuhuai and Han Xizheng out. Think back, before they were eliminated, did anything unusual happen?"
Chu Qiu: "Before Brother Huai was out, Guan Yu clung to him and squeezed Han Xizheng’s biceps, does that count?"
Guan Yu: "......"
Cheng Zhirang suppressed a laugh: "It’s very likely that this squeeze was when Guan Yu used 049."
"Though it’s very embarrassing, to prove my innocence, I have to say it."
Guan Yu pinched Chu Qiu’s flesh hard, making him yell, and then she happily listened to his scream while saying:
"I was just tempted. I’m curious about strong men’s arm muscles. I had a teammate, didn’t need to go out to pick wildflowers.
But unfortunately, my teammate acted like a lunatic, screamed and squeaked whenever I got close, made him uninteresting, so I could only bother Han Xizheng."
Saying this, she swallowed, leaned in, sincerely looked at Shu Ran, Mu Qiu, and Zhao Yu and said:
"That arm was really good, had a strong sense of power; I felt it could lift me up."
Shu Ran snorted coldly: "Then you’re definitely mistaken. He can’t lift you. You’d be better off saying he’d punch you away."
"......Vulgar! Shu Ran, you’re getting more and more vulgar!"
Mu Qiu and Zhao Yu just stifled their laughter.
Who cares if Han Xizheng’s arm feels powerful, isn’t Cheng Zhirang’s arm attractive? It can lift her... cough, can’t broadcast this.
Guan Yu snapped at Shu Ran, turned and swore:
"I really didn’t do anything inappropriate to Han Xizheng, only touched his arm. Also, Chu Qiu, you damn ghost! You’re gleeful about betraying your teammate?!"
Chu Qiu promptly activated his dodge skill.
Cheng Zhirang pretended not to see them and continued to ask others: "Besides this, did anything else happen?"
They thought for a moment, shook their heads and said: "Nope."
That’s odd, who did take action against Shi Yuhuai and Han Xizheng? How did they quietly let 049 detect the plague on them?
Mu Qiu’s eyes wandered, her gaze landing on Li Yang and Guo Yin.
Right, who cares who’s the culprit, it’s not her concern. She should test Zhao Yu’s identity, then get Guo Yin eliminated quickly.
If possible, Li Yang/Shu Ran/Chen Yi also need to be eliminated quickly. Someone has to take the last place for them to stop being so anxious.
"Now two traitors are out, Brother Cheng and Guo Yin. Only one is left, plus there’s a Purifier.
The one who used 049 to take out Brother Huai and Han Xizheng must be either Brother Cheng, Guo Yin, or the third traitor."
Guan Yu finished her abuse of Chu Qiu and began her analysis.
Mu Qiu changed her position from lying down to resting her chin on her hand, tapping the table with her nails, saying:
"Let’s try using the controlled variable method."
Cheng Zhirang tilted his head to look at her.
"We can’t tell which traitor just made Brother Huai and Han Xizheng exit, because all three traitors are here, it’s difficult to distinguish who’s lying.
If there’s one less traitor, then another, and someone is still using 049, it’s surely the remaining traitor."
"Got it," Li Yang summarized the central idea, "you’re aiming for Brother Cheng and Guo Yin."
...Can you use more civilized terms?
She solemnly corrected: "It’s sacrificing two corrupted individuals for the survival of humanity. Am I doing this for myself? I’m doing it for everyone!"
"If so, can you sacrifice yourself first for everyone?" Shu Ran asked.
"Definitely not."
Others: "Tsk—"
Though everyone scoffed at her words, Mu Qiu was certain there would be someone who took her words seriously, and the "fire" later would surely target Cheng Zhirang and Guo Yin.
How nice.
If there could be some peanuts now, it’d be perfect, eating peanuts while watching them chase Cheng Zhirang, life would be pleasant and leisurely.
However, thinking of peanuts makes her want to turn villain, piss off Qiu.
A table of people with different thoughts, going back and forth, still couldn’t find the perpetrator who "harmed" Shi Yuhuai and Han Xizheng; the third traitor was also without a clue.
Everyone agreed that this round of self-narration ends here, dismissed and went their separate ways.
The aroma of mushroom-stewed chicken noodles was truly unbearable.
Before dismissing, chief Cheng Zhirang reminded everyone: "You can look for identity clues more, Guo Yin’s identity got exposed quickly due to identity clues.
Of course, all analyses we just did were based on Mu Qiu’s statement being correct; as for believing it or not, everyone needs to judge by themselves."
Guan Yu said meaningfully: "Got it, got it, everyone knows, only one-third of Mu Qiu’s words are credible."
Mu Qiu insulted: "...Three-minute breakup, goodbye!"
She pulled Zhao Yu and ran out, expressing her determined departure.
But just a few steps out of the fast food restaurant, Zhao Yu grabbed her.
She glanced back, ready to criticize her lack of cooperation, and saw Zhao Yu wide-eyed, glowing, her expression and reaction as stunning as a scream, her whole body shouting:
"There’s ice cream!!!"
————
ps: Qiuqiu: You owe me an apology! You’re insulting my character!
Cheng Zhirang: Alright, sorry, now can we kiss?
Qiuqiu felt it was insincere, decisively rejected...of course that couldn’t happen.
