I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!

Chapter 625 - 624: Let Me Rest for 10 Minutes

Mu Qiu thought for a long time but couldn’t understand why the director arranged such an identity for her.

Does she really look like a good person?

Or is it just a little kink of the director? Purely to see how she controls her desire to be a villain and become a Crying Savior?

She had just orchestrated a mutual massacre through strategy, and now she’s being informed that she’s actually a benevolent person, with the main task being to save people...

She and those eliminated, it’s hard to say who’s worse off.

She curled up against the locker, having lost her combat awareness.

Zhao Yu, on the other hand, seemed extremely happy, laughing uncontrollably when he saw her look of despair.

"Respected Purifier, cheer up! There are still many people waiting for you to save them, like those your 049 eliminated."

"Save them? Isn’t my task to save all beings? They’ve already been relieved from pain, isn’t that enough salvation?"

"Makes sense. But later I’ll go out and post an ad, renting out the Purifier. Whoever wants to save a teammate can do so with snacks."

After saying this, he squinted as if he had drunk some sugary drink, with a content look as if envisioning a snack-rich future.

"... Hunger drives a woman insane. Since we’re going to lose our lives anyway, why not try finding clues about your own identity?"

"Isn’t it obvious already?"

Zhao Yu gestured one and said, "In the Insect Street Dance Club’s kind-hearted Teacher Xiao Qiu’s diary, I only appeared once, and it was in a secret crush status, clearly just an NPC, a mere civilian."

"That’s not necessarily true."

Analyzing some love story, Mu Qiu suddenly came to life.

"Maybe you failed at your crush and went dark to slaughter everyone in a psychological turn?

I thought about it, Guo Yin has a Little Li to protect, Li Yang has a street dance club sister to protect, and your character clearly is meant to be the betrayer leaving no one behind."

"Then I’ll eliminate you first."

"I can save myself... Wait a minute."

The term "wait a minute" is almost a signal in the show for her to have discovered a major turning point.

Zhao Yu shook with excitement and asked, "What is it?"

Mu Qiu narrowed her eyes and said meaningfully, "I suddenly remembered one trait of 813."

"Which room number was 813 again?"

"... Has your brain been consumed by your stomach? 813 is that glass shard monster Brother Cheng and the others found!"

The barely conscious person sat properly, taking the reprimand innocently: "Sorry, continue."

She gave an exasperated look and turned back to the camera to continue:

"813 has a trait: once the glass shard invades the eyeball, it can’t be removed. If someone tries to use surgery to remove the glass shard, at the moment of removal, the host will perish.

And the extracted 813 will quickly jump into the nearest person’s eyeball, achieving a second parasitism."

Zhao Yu nodded thoughtfully: "So, you’re saying you can’t save someone parasitized by 813, so you might as well not save anyone at all?"

After all, besides cardholder Cheng Zhirang, there were also Shen Zhousong and the two of them, probably everyone else had been parasitized by 813.

Mu Qiu waved her finger and said nonono three times.

"Precisely due to this characteristic, we can use 049 to try to save those parasitized.

Then, at the moment the person is gone, let 813 parasitize again into the nearest body, ensuring that apart from us, everyone else is definitely parasitized."

Since people parasitized by 813 don’t show any changes physically, the symptoms described in the foundation couldn’t be displayed by them.

So it’s hard for Cheng Zhirang and others to truly confirm whether everyone has been parasitized, since 813 is quite a "picky eater."

"Oh — I get it, you want to do some betrayer’s work under the guise of a savior. This kind of action is very common, let me think, I just watched a video yesterday that said something like, oh it goes—

I have seen angels with halos and white feathers commit all kinds of evil deeds, and I’ve seen grotesque-looking demons save the world’s poor."

Mu Qiu: "... I told you to stop watching worthless things, but you never listen! Once this episode is over, your parents will definitely give you a huge scolding."

"It’s okay, it’s not like I haven’t been scolded before. I’ve been scolded for over twenty years, already used to it. No more talking, my mouth is dry."

The sudden silence was caused by dry mouth due to lack of water, truly a rare comedic point on variety shows over the years.

It was truly dry.

Apart from the ice cream halfway through, they hadn’t found anything quenching since finishing that bottle of electrolyte water.

The heat and dryness were exhausting.

No matter how wise the brain, it couldn’t resist such physical sensations, Mu Qiu slammed against the locker heavily, languidly suggesting:

"How about we sleep a bit? While asleep, we can’t feel anything."

The hunger and thirst would disappear, and if they slept deeper, perhaps they wouldn’t even notice they were still filming.

Zhao Yu thought for a moment, and surprisingly nodded: "Good idea."

Then they moved a bit closer, shoulder to shoulder, head to head, and just closed their eyes.

Closed! Their! Eyes!

The cameraman who had been teased by them almost lost it, wanting to call out to them, but afraid of affecting the live audience’s experience.

But the more experienced cameraman didn’t panic, not moving the camera, filming their closed-eye sleep for a few minutes, then setting up the camera, and whispered to the team:

"Perfect timing to switch to other main shots, but always keep filming them, can be used as edited content or bloopers. Besides, Mu Qiu won’t keep her eyes closed for long."

Mu Qiu and Zhao Yu indeed didn’t nap long, just ten minutes. Exhausted from thirst and hunger after running around all day, they truly couldn’t take it, so a quick nap was needed to recharge before continuing.

Originally planned for just two or three minutes, the photographer would probably keep track of time to call them.

But unexpectedly, the photographer remained silent, and it was their own uneasy minds that woke them up.

During those ten minutes, the main shot had already switched to others, not catching them sleeping for ten minutes.

Conveniently, the main camera switch also helped address complaints from some fans about "Why don’t we see more of our idol?"

This time the main shot switched to Li Yang.

After laboring through trials and enduring Mu Qiu’s tricks just to gain some file card clues, it finally paid off.

The third card was found by Li Yang.
