Chapter 609 - 608: They Don’t Care Who Their Killer Is
Her words were tantamount to confessing in front of Cheng Zhirang and Shen Zhousong.
She told them she did have a card, and it was already activated, having been used.
There had been no hint of a third card being activated, and her card was already used, which meant her card was the second one.
Li Yang, who had been deceived countless times, still couldn’t stay calm and questioned her with wide eyes:
"Yeah, if your card wasn’t activated, how could we have used it?! But when the second card was activated, you were clearly eating!"
Mu Qiu hadn’t had a chance to explain before Cheng Zhirang accurately picked out the key point: "Let you guys use it?"
Mu Qiu: "... Li Yang, you unlucky kid!"
Li Yang hurriedly covered his mouth, pushed himself back with the edge of the table, the chair sliding half a meter back, scraping on the floor with a sharp screech.
Mu Qiu was so angry she nearly rolled her eyes to the back of her head, closed her eyes for two seconds, then turned to Cheng Zhirang: "Brother Cheng, listen to our explanation."
"There’s no need. I’ve understood the process. You activated the card but distributed the usage rights to others. What, teaming up against us?"
Shen Zhousong leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, looking roguish: "Not necessarily. Maybe she just wanted everyone to have the ability to kill for a short while?"
Once everyone had that ability, a chaotic self-slaughter situation was only a matter of time.
Besides those two, Cheng Zhirang thought of another possibility: "Or perhaps you wanted to experiment why there were five cards for three betrayers and one purifier?
Then discovered that the betrayer and purifier are already predetermined. And civilians can’t use monster slayers. Are you a civilian?"
That analysis was strong. Mu Qiu felt completely transparent in front of him.
It was a very bad feeling, no sense of security at all.
So she had to use her nth deceptive sentence to disrupt his perception.
"I’m a civilian, but not a cardholder."
Meaning Zhao Yu found the card, right?
Zhao Yu was unfazed, as if what Mu Qiu had just said was true.
"She tried it on Guo Yin, but it wouldn’t work. But I haven’t tried it yet. At present, I don’t need to try. Anyway, 049 is ineffective against us, and I need to guard against other monsters."
Guo Yin, who was unknowingly "participated" in the experiment, was full of bewilderment.
"Tried it on me? When? How did you try it? Sister Mu Qiu, you didn’t ally with me just to use me as a test subject, did you?!"
"Sometimes sudden cleverness doesn’t make one very happy."
"..." So annoying!
He lay back down, covering his head and pulling at his hair.
Guan Yu still went to comfort him, telling him to pull less, lest he ends up bald at a young age, unable to become an idol.
Compared to her "promiscuous" behavior, the starving Shu Ran seemed much more normal.
She could even adjust her posture and breathing to stay elegant while preventing her stomach from growling, and refocus completely on analyzing the game.
"If what Mu Qiu said is true, then Brother Cheng is the betrayer because he can use the Monster Card.
If Guo Yin is indeed a betrayer, then two betrayers have already surfaced. Only the last one is missing."
"That’s easy," Chen Yi gestured at Mu Qiu, saying, "Have Mu Qiu tell everyone the transfer rights of that Monster Card, and then everyone can experiment on one another to find out."
"Not everyone can be experimented on. How can you be sure you can find someone to try it on? And who would let you try? Brother Huai and Han Xizheng were out because they used it at the start without much precaution," Chu Qiu shook his head.
"Speaking of Brother Huai and Brother Han," Li Yang scratched his head, "shouldn’t we find the culprit who murdered them first?"
At least pretend a bit; otherwise, if we just sit down and ignore their "death reasons," it seems a bit heartless.
Guan Yu nodded thoughtfully: "Good suggestion. But first, look over at those two, happily slurping instant noodles. They don’t seem like they want justice for their wrongful deaths."
Initially, everyone was trying to resist the temptation of the aroma, forcing themselves to think and analyze. Now that it was mentioned, everyone turned to watch Shi Yuhuai and Han Xizheng slurping noodles.
Goodness, how many minutes has it been, and those two haven’t finished the bowl of instant noodles in front of them. They picked at the noodles bit by bit, breaking them into short segments, almost wanting to eat the stainless steel bowl.
Despite being over 1.8 meters tall, making them look dashing on camera, now they are sweating and slurping noodles with no image left.
Mu Qiu: "Great, they don’t seem to care about their cause of death or who the murderer is."
Zhao Yu: "They’re only concerned with how delicious that shiitake chicken noodle is."
She’s going to buy a box of shiitake chicken noodles to keep at home when she goes back!
The whole table turned to watch the two of them slurping noodles, the scene was once quite comical.
[Even watching a variety show makes me hungry several times already]
[I’ve been tempted by shiitake chicken noodles, how can I make it as delicious as Brother Huai’s bowl?]
[The unsold shiitake chicken noodles at the supermarket are about to see their day]
[It’s truly heartbreaking, ten people staring at two eating instant noodles, eyes nearly falling into the bowl]
[Praise for the stainless steel bowl, back in the day I slurped noodles just like this]
[Did Brother Cheng sneak some snacks with Li Yang when visiting the museum? Doesn’t seem hungry at all]
[Putting dry seaweed in a kettle and drinking right out of it, hahahaha, absolutely genius!]
[Watching this makes me want to send Mu Qiu some eggs, at least make some seaweed egg soup]
[This show is unexpectedly serving soul chicken soup, end of an era/dog head]
[Brother Cheng must’ve watched it, right?!]
[Indeed, while BL is nice, it’s not to be glorified, just to show that love between boys is also beautiful]
[Love between girls deserves blessing as well]
[No need to mention Mu Qiu, folks, once read BL so much that she almost made the female lead a trans character]
[Li Yang and Guo Yin are still too young hahaha]
[I’m anxious, thought everyone would be evading the Li Yang and Guo Yin setup, imagined the awkward frozen atmosphere]
[Turns out, the elder started lecturing the youngsters]
[Elder? Obviously, that’s my husband!]
[Not speaking about it is awkward. It’s better to talk openly, just feels like parents educating their newly-adult son about sex]
[Brother Cheng is the kryptonite for Mu Qiu hahaha]
[Shu Ran seems the calmest here, knowing her usual meal size, not eating for half a day is normal]
[Help, I want to throw a noodle partner into Han Xizheng’s bowl]
[My baby is starving, watching others eat noodles, swallowing saliva]
[Show crew, I beg you, put some food in a visible place]
[Can we start with a bottle of water? Not much, just one bottle for the ten of them to share a sip]
[Mu Qiu’s thinking is incredible, how does her nervous system avoid self-entanglement]
[You can self-entangle with this? Is your nervous system a duodenum?]
