Just walking and got eliminated?
Is this monster a curb? Only targeting people who want to quit and cook instant noodles?
Mu Qiu mimicked the posture of an elderly person looking at a phone, staring at the walkie-talkie for a couple of seconds, assessing the credibility of Chu Qiu’s statent.
Then said, "Wasn’t the fourth card discovered by you guys?"
"No! She and I were still walking down the street, how could we have had the ti to find a card?!"
"Then that only leaves... Sister Shu Ran."
Shu Ran remained silent and did not join the "group chat" to explain a few words.
Chu Qiu: "Does that an you two were with Li Yang, Brother Cheng, and Shen Zhousong?"
"Oh right, there’s also Brother Shen, he’s also suspicious. Are you sure Sister Guan Yu didn’t encounter anything strange before she was dragged off cara?"
"Absolutely not! I was walking with her, we talked about going to other clothing stores next.
Then a hand suddenly reached out from behind, covered her mouth, and dragged her away, and then we were notified she was out! It’s terrifying, disappearing without a sound!"
"She was just dragged away while walking?"
Mu Qiu glanced at Cheng Zhirang, then spoke to the walkie-talkie again: "Could it be that 813 was in effect?"
After the current sound crackled, Chu Qiu’s voice returned with more terror:
"Are you saying that pile of glass shards already hollowed her out? Oh no, oh no, oh no, we were all parasitized, will many people be out next?"
"It’s possible to be out, but it’s probably not because of 813." The voice from the walkie-talkie was Shen Zhousong’s, sounding low and tense.
Li Yang, holding his own walkie-talkie, asked Shen Zhousong: "What’s the matter, Brother Shen, do you know sothing?"
Shen Zhousong: "There are several sculptures appearing in alleys around the street, which weren’t there before."
Mu Qiu’s eyelid twitched.
But remained silent, sighed internally, and counted down from five, four, three, two, one.
Then heard—
"Shen Zhousong is out!"
"Shen Zhousong is out!"
"Shen Zhousong is out!"
Others: "???!"
Chu Qiu imdiately expressed his panic through the walkie-talkie: "Oh my god, what’s going on?! Where are you? I want to form an alliance!"
As the current and talking sound passed, another voice erged.
"I want to co over too."
Shu Ran’s voice was tight as if she might scream at any mont.
Cheng Zhirang thought for a mont, then took the initiative to speak: "We’re at the school, you guys co over."
More people make things busy, more people make eliminations.
After stating the location, he released the walkie-talkie, then turned to ask Mu Qiu: "Do you know this monster?"
"I don’t know."
Cheng Zhirang stared at her.
Mu Qiu looked innocent: "What? I really don’t know, there are so many monsters in the SCP Foundation, I can’t rember them all, right?
Rembering the first three was lucky, SCP-049 is the most famous monster, and SCP-813 and SCP-902 are relatively well-known as non-physical attack monsters, so I rembered them. This statue or whatever, I really have no impression."
As if.
She made an effort to appear very confused and innocent, not knowing if Cheng Zhirang believed it.
Zhao Yu looked at her, scanning her from top to bottom, and finally concluded to Cheng Zhirang and Li Yang: "That’s it, she really doesn’t know."
Li Yang looked deflated: "If you don’t know, then what do we do? This monster is so dangerous, could it suddenly appear next to us, and then we’re all out?"
He grabbed his hair, frowning with worry.
"Who found this card, so incredible."
"Who do you think it was?" Mu Qiu asked him, "The cardholder is immune to the monster’s attack, now that Sister Guan Yu and Brother Shen are gone, the cardholder is either Sister Shu Ran or Brother Chu Qiu."
"But the two of them were just really scared..."
That’s not right, if it’s not either of them, then it has to be one of those four people, but when the card was activated, they were all talking, no ti to activate it. Therefore, the holder of the fourth card can only be Shu Ran or Chu Qiu.
He sighed towards the sky: "How is everyone so good at acting?"
"Normal. Later we will see which of the two of them acts more like an innocent bystander. Now, we have to find a place where we can run or hide, not too wide of an alley."
They went to the school and waited in the corridor on the ground floor of the teaching building for Chu Qiu and Shu Ran’s arrival.
While people hadn’t arrived yet, Mu Qiu thought and thought, enduring the apprehension of "fans would have opinions and might scold," proactively extending an olive branch to Cheng Zhirang.
"Brother Cheng, right now, you’re the only one confird to be a betrayer, how about we make a deal?"
"Sure. But you also have to agree to the information exchange I brought up earlier. After dealing with them, you have to tell all the information you know."
"Deal. Let’s pinky swear."
She extended her little finger, Cheng Zhirang hesitated for a mont, then imitated her, extending his little finger to hook hers.
With their fingers hooked and a slight shake, the deal was sealed.
"If you turncoat like Guo Yin before, I will not only withhold information from you but will imdiately ally with them to counterattack you."
Cheng Zhirang: "Rest assured, I an what I say."
Cheng Zhirang always keeps his word.
This was his promise to her.
With their little fingers separated, Mu Qiu extended her hand to Li Yang: "Give two of those ’cash’ sheets you have."
Took two pieces of paper, pulled out a pen, and handed it to Cheng Zhirang: "Co on, write curse stickers. Later, we won’t do any detour tactics, we’ll confront them directly, and you just stick them on their backs."
"Okay."
He flattened the paper on the corridor wall and wrote leaning down.
Li Yang and the others gathered around to watch.
"Brother Cheng, your handwriting is beautiful, how do you write so well?"
Cheng Zhirang replied while writing: "I particularly learned it to shoot an art film. You could get your agent to sign you up for a class."
"...No, no, no, no need."
Hoping the agent doesn’t see this part.
After quickly writing the two curse stickers, he tucked the paper into his camouflage pants pocket, waiting for the two sheep in wolves’ clothing to walk into the trap.
Before long, they saw two figures walking from a distance towards the school entrance from the second floor.
One in the front, one in the back, separated by quite a distance, though the sunlight was too bright to see clearly, but just from the voices, it was easy to distinguish who was who.
Because Shu Ran ran in screaming the whole way.
The high-pitched scream combined with the loud stomp of high heels on the stairs made it obvious it was her even without looking.
"Ahhhhh! That thing can move! It followed us!"
Chu Qiu, trailing about ten ters behind her, also scread as he ran in.
"Help!!!"
Mu Qiu, leaning on the second floor with her chin in her hand, watched boredly.
"Currently, based on the volu of the screams, Sister Shu Ran seems more convincing."
Li Yang: "But judging from the content of the screams and the expressions of terror and actions, Brother Chu Qiu is a bit more impressive."
Zhao Yu: "Pay attention to formation, we need to step back a couple of paces, stay on the other side of the entrance, and in case the statue does appear, we can escape from there."
Cheng Zhirang: "They’re coming up."
