The episode finished airing, and the TV set turned off with a snap.

The final voting results came out. Wu Jin rose up to 21st place from 36 and was safe for the next round.

The crowd of trainees were dazzled by these two peoples performance, and Caesar was even praising Wu Jin. Oh, hey! This tactical thinking was pretty good!

Yu Chu also sent the two of them an admiring smile, while K showed no reaction at all. At the other two ends of the training workshop, Ming Yaos eyes brightened, Thin Fire was stunned, and Raphael burst out into gooseb.u.mps from the gayness.

Before the end of the evening cla.s.s.

The AI director said, For the upcoming 36 into 24 round, the three groups of trainees will attend stage rehearsal at the same. I hope youre all ready.

Wu Jin understood.

It was like hed guessed. The threads connecting

,

, and

were finally converging together. Karen, the Nightingale, and the Queen would compete against each other on the same stage, and the contestants would change from being personal sacrifices to shared sacrifices.

The melee brawl would begin from the 36 into 24 round.

In the training room, players all went back to bed one after another.

Karen had come to visit yesterday, so she would definitely be here again today. As for the King of Hearts, hed disappeared at the end of the broadcast.

Yu Chu spoke in a low voice, asking Wu Jin about trainee Septembers ident.i.ty.

September is an A-level trainee. Wu Jin gave a vague answer, If he doesnt make a move against us tonight

Well attack him.

Yu Chu paused.

Wu Jins tone was firm and brokered no refusal. Yu Chu nodded quickly, How will we do it?

That night, 11PM.

Time pa.s.sed three times faster than normal in the seventh elimination match. Because the director would check the rooms during the day, Septembers room wasnt locked and was just closed slightly. Wu Jin and Wei s.h.i.+ hid silently on the other side of the door.

The key to the room belonged to K, and he was also the only one with a key.

This was Ks safe zone. He would definitely go back that night.

The corridor was silent.

In an abandoned part of the forum on their wrist watches, Caesar made a report every minute, while Yu Chu kept guard at the other end of the corridor.

According to the rules of the game, it would take at least 3 minutes for the mask to be fitted perfectly over a face. So, the two of them would meet once every three minutes just in case the other party had been eliminated and replaced.

As for Wu Jin and Wei s.h.i.+, they stood in the middle of the bedroom with sharp blades in hand, waiting for K to push open the door

There was a scream in the corridor!

It was Yu Chu.

Wu Jin was shocked. Yu Chu and Caesars scouting positions were quite well hidden. K had made his way over far earlier than expected. Fortunately, Yu Chu soon reported that he was safe. There were noises in the distance, coming from the corridor. It was probably Caesar whod rushed over to provide support for Yu Chu, but then gotten stopped by someone else.

Their wrist watches beeped as Yu Chu hastily sent a message: Theres more than one person, September is attacking Caesar!

Wu Jins expression stiffened.

The King of Hearts strength wasnt inferior to Caesars.

K appearing early was Wu Jins own fault as a commander. He couldnt let Caesar be eliminated in the 36 into 24 round because of him.

Wu Jin looked quickly at Wei s.h.i.+.

Wei s.h.i.+ raised his eyebrows, will you guard this place alone?

Wu Jin nodded.

They had confirmed that the room had a mirror right from the start. It was behind the door to the walk-in robe, and Yu Chu had checked again and confirmed it beforehand. He had roses in his pocket and red dancing shoes on his feet. Even if the King of Hearts snuck in, he could call up a female ghost at any time.

Wei s.h.i.+ nodded.

According to his agreement with Wu Jin, Wu Jin would be taking the lead in this compet.i.tion round. Even if Wu Jin was eliminated, he wouldnt intervene.

From seventh elimination match to the eight elimination match, to the rookie compet.i.tion, Stardust Cup and Star League, he would no longer intervene.

This was the path that Wu Jin had chosen for himself.

The door opened slightly.

Wei s.h.i.+ disappeared down the dark corridor, heading out to meet with Caesar.

Caesar was shouting in the distance, and sounds of footsteps could be heard running away. A message came through the wrist watch that it had been K whod attacked Caesar, but Caesar and Wei s.h.i.+ had already changed posts. Everything was safe.

At this moment, a series of barely noticeable footsteps arrived outside the bedroom door.

Leica! Yu Chu stood outside the door, panting for breath.

Through the crack in the door, Wu Jin once again confirmed that Yu Chus mask was well fitted, and he hadnt been replaced.

Wu Jin was finally relieved.

The one to attack Caesar was K, and his ally had interfered with Yu Chu. Yu Chu hadnt requested help, which aligned with Wu Jins conjecture that his ally was smart, either a support or commander position, and was good at hiding instead of attacking directly

Outside the door, Yu Chu grasped the door handle.

The door was mostly closed; Wu Jin went forth to help him open it.

However, Yu Chu moved faster than he did.

There was a slight

click

in his ear.

Then, the sound of a key rustled. The copper door lock mechanisms collided together in Wu Jins keen hearing. The key rotated 180 degrees, gathering the copper teeth together, and the key was unhesitatingly pulled back out!

Yu Chu had locked him inside Ks room!

Wu Jins pupils shrank.

The man standing outside the room had clearly been Yu Chu. How could Yu Chu have the key to Ks bedroom? Why had Yu Chu locked the door? Whod been chasing Yu Chu just now?!

Wu Jin was caught off guard and spoke, You

Outside, Yu Chu didnt say anything.

He seemed to remain standing outside the door for a long time before suddenly saying gently, Contestant Wu Jin, Im glad to have met you.

Goodbye.

The sound of footsteps disappeared down the corridor.

Wu Jins demeanor changed abruptly.

He didnt hesitate to call out to Wei s.h.i.+ and Caesar in the corridor for help, but there was no response from the other side of the door! Wu Jin quickly turned to the terminal wrist watch. In the abandoned forum thread that they were using to communicate, the last response was from Caesar when hed last reported in.

September had led them to the

training building.

Wu Jin looked up suddenly.

In the ceiling above him, the sharp sound of fingernails sc.r.a.ping against metal rang out, and it sounded like a pulley mechanism was rising and falling. There was someone moving above Wu Jins head.

There was a slight opening in the ceiling.

Wu Jin didnt doubt that Karen, the female lead from

was lying in wait in the ceiling over his head, staring at him through the gap with her huge, strange pupils!

In the locked room, Wu Jin zipped up his protective clothing at a speed faster than hed ever done before, drawing out his knife with his left hand. Ks bedroom was located on the third floor. It had no windows and was very gloomy inside. Wu Jin then went to open the closet door and reveal the hidden mirror

Wu Jins ears twitched, and he was violently startled.

In the distance, on the other side of the wall and across the open factory yard, in the

program group building, there was the sound of violent fighting, accompanied by the sound of breaking gla.s.s!

K had led the big boss and Caesar in the direction of

.

Then, K had lured the Queen out.

There was only one Queen.

If the Queen appeared in

, she would never appear simultaneously in the

building. Karen was afraid of the Queen in the mirror, not the mirror itself

Inside the room, it was clear that it wasnt only Wu Jin who was aware of this. Overhead, the gap in the ceiling that had been pushed open by Karen widened slightly.

Wu Jin suddenly lifted his head.

A pair of creepy eyes met Wu Jins. They blinked slowly, and there was a momentary pause. Then, there was a splash as blood dripped down from the ceiling.

The Queen who suppressed her wasnt here, and the female ghost seemed to be very happy. Her face was ruddy, and at this time, she appeared very similar to an ordinary person. It was unknown which trainees life shed just taken.

Wu Jins gaze collided directly with hers!

Karen didnt come down, and Wu Jin couldnt go up.

The two of them were locked in a stalemate. It was more like Karen was playing with prey, while Wu Jin, who was locked inside the room, had no way to escape. Karen looked at the locked door with satisfaction, and it seemed that it hadnt been the first time shed accepted tribute like this. She was so skilled at it that Wu Jin even suspected that the first six trainees had also been locked in this room and fed to Karen.

Wu Jin clenched his fists, and a vague guess rose up to the surface of his thoughts at this moment.

Karens AI wasnt any stronger than the Queen or the Nightingales, but the number of trainees eliminated by the female lead of

was higher than that of the Nightingale and the Queen combined. It was as though there was someone who was deliberately supporting Karen, deliberately using Karen and the locked door to kill, and finally, using Karen and the useless mirror to get rid of him

It was Yu Chu.

Wu Jin took a deep breath.

It was K who knew that the mirror restrained the female ghost, and Yu Chu who knew the clue about the Queens magic mirror. If Yu Chu and K had originally been allies who shared information, then, if Wu Jin could figure out the relations.h.i.+p between the red dancing shoes, the mirror, and the roses, then Yu Chu could as well.

The King of Hearts ally. Support, commander position. Not good at fighting, an intricate mind, and good at camouflage

Yu Chu was the only one who met all the requirements!

In the ceiling, Karen was still enjoying Wu Jins final struggle as prey. Karen didnt come down, and Wu Jin didnt urge her. He even opened up his wrist watch and sent out a message on the forum.

Yu Chu is Ks ally. Theres an insider, cancel the deal

However, it didnt matter if Caesar could see it or not. It didnt change the fact that Wu Jin and Karen were now in the same room.

However. Yu Chu. How could it be?!

Countless fragments of memory flashed through his mind. Caesar and Yu Chu had formed an alliance from the 100 into 60 round. In a survival show, hard work and friends.h.i.+p were praised, and those who betrayed their alliances and went back on their promises would be looked down on by both the players and the audience.

Unless Yu Chu had been replaced halfway through

However, Caesar and Yu Chu had never been separated for more than three minutes.

Caesar and his own trust in Yu Chu had been based on this point.

It took at least 3 minutes for the mask to be torn off and fitted on the face. Yu Chu hadnt changed masks from beginning to end, and his behavior was as good as any other qualified teammate. Ever since Wu Jin had met Yu Chu, hed never done any actions that went beyond common sense, except

On the first night of the 60 into 48 round, Yu Chu had used a support card for himself, hiring a water army to cheer for him on the forums all night.

Wu Jins heart beat accelerated abruptly.

Neglected details flashed back in his mind!

Yu Chu was in the high ranks, and his ranking was stable. There was no reason for him to stir up momentum for the 60 into 48 round. However, the large number of posts from the water army also played out a purpose.

The new posts would crowd out old ones.

Any artists black history could be eliminated and forgotten over time. The way to speed up this process was to erase old news with new news.

Wu Jin looked warily at Karen, who was still in the ceiling. His hands moved fast as he searched up Yu Chu in the main forum, clicking in directly to the last 80th page of the results
