Starting from Taohuawu, kilometers away

Zhang Youhao, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up and said, "As for me, uh." He scratched his head and said, "To be honest, I'm not in a good state right now. Of course, I came here with a mission today, but when I couldn't do it, because I couldn't gather everyone well, I didn't know what to do, so I just waited and watched, and then."

"The more I play, the more I understand one thing. Today, there are fifteen of us. If we want to eliminate a lot of people, he will design a lot of undercover agents. This is inevitable. This is the best effect. But I don't want to admit this reality. Alas."

"I just think that at least you should be prepared in advance."

At this time, Li Gengxi stood up and left his seat.

Zhang Youhao was not interrupted, but he was choking up and said, "But not when it really happens."

Before he could finish, Li Gengxi interrupted and said, "Stop, stop, stop, I really can't stand it anymore, I really can't stand it anymore, I gave the wrong information to Mei, and then I gave the wrong information to Zhang Youhao, I just wanted to kill them both with a knife, I am very aggressive, I have spent all my energy, I attacked Zhang Youhao, and then I failed to kill him, I gave up on him."

Zhang Youhao no longer choked up at this time and looked at Li Gengxi with a sneer.

"Put yourself in their shoes. If I took this wolf, I would also be very timid, because both the palms and the backs of my hands are made of flesh."

After Li Gengxi finished speaking, Wang Herun spread his hands and said, "So this game will never end, so why don't we all just stab ourselves and leave."

Li Luoluo pursed her lips when she heard Wang Herun's suggestion. She didn't want to be eliminated.

Ning Wang said at this time: "If it is difficult to move forward, I will vote myself out, because I think I don't like it and don't really like playing this kind of game."

Li Cheng held his chin up and looked at these people expressionlessly. Everyone started to act and they were all having a great time.

Li Xueqin feels that this is the most exciting part of the game, where human nature is portrayed to the fullest.

"If you just want to see us hurt each other, then we choose not to hurt each other."

As soon as Wang Herun finished speaking, the GM said, "The fifth round of discussion is over. Please return to the room to trade."

Li Xueqin patted Li Cheng on the shoulder and whispered, "I think a lot of people will kill themselves in this round."

Li Cheng nodded. He felt that some people had collapsed, but he didn't know if it was acting.

Everyone returned to the room to start trading and wait for trial.

When Li Cheng was in the room, the PD said, "Cheng Cheng, explain your gameplay to the camera."

Li Cheng nodded, sat on the bed and said, "I have been looking for the people I want to form an alliance with today. Our Sister Zhuzi, Sister Xueqin and Sister Bing are my primary targets. I have rehearsed every round and every encounter with them in advance. I choose to give out all the correct information so that I can gain the recognition of more good people."

"According to our original plan, we let them kill each other, but I didn't expect Brother Bao to change the plan temporarily and choose to kill himself, but it also caused a big sensation among this group of people."

"In fact, is it possible for everyone to calm down and close this Pandora's box? In our minds, there is a limit to this game. After two Christmas Eves, we will end this game by killing ourselves."

"This game actually tests the trust between people. It involves teamwork, friendship, and other bonds between people. But every decision everyone makes and every suspicion they have is actually a torment for themselves."

"The courage to repair the broken trust, the willingness to take that step to reimagine your teammates, I think that's very rare, so I think this test is about to end."

PD made an OK gesture to Li Cheng.

Li Cheng exhaled and said, "Is that okay?"

"can."

"Will you guys cut out what I said before about killing everyone at the cruise homeport?"

PD shook his head and said, "No, don't worry."

Li Cheng nodded. After all, his aunt had invested in this drama and had a large share. Otherwise, why would they let Li Cheng be the pilot? They just wanted someone else to show their face. Otherwise, how could there be so many artists from Hesong?

"The fifth round of trading begins, time limit is ten minutes."

Everyone pushed the door open and walked out.

Li Cheng found that there were not many people left, only Baolan, Li Gengxi, Zhang Youhao, Wang Herun, Li Luoluo, Li Xueqin and others. The tranquility of Christmas Eve was broken by a cruel game.

The game reached its most tense moment. The Christmas Eve that was originally full of laughter and joy was now filled with only a tense atmosphere and suspicious eyes.

Everyone seemed to be standing on the edge of a knife, and if they were not careful, they would fall into the abyss of trust. The players' words became sharp and tentative, and every word seemed to carry a thorn, trying to reveal the true face of the other party.

"I don't believe you. You always say things that are ambiguous."

Li Gengxi frowned, his voice full of doubt.

"What do you mean? Have you forgotten that we are teammates?"

Zhang Youhao sneered in response, with a wary look in his eyes.

Their words stirred up ripples on the lake, reflecting the panic and anxiety in everyone's heart. In this game of life and death, the fragility and selfishness of human nature are fully exposed, former friends are now strangers, and behind every smile is a knife-like calculation.

As time went on, the rifts between the players grew deeper and deeper, and even the air was filled with a thick sense of anxiety and distrust.

Their eyes seemed particularly cold under the dim light, as if they could push the people around them to the brink of death at any time.

Suddenly, a shrill scream pierced the night sky, and another person was ruthlessly eliminated.

The remaining few people hugged each other tightly, and each of their faces showed the desire for survival and deep fear.

During this night, they experienced unprecedented torment, a torture more painful than death.

Seeing that the game had already reached the seventh round, Li Xueqin asked Li Cheng, "Brother, if you continue to punish them, they will collapse."

Li Cheng nodded, looked at the few people left at the cruise home port, and said to Li Xueqin, Chen Bing and Sister Zhuzi: "Then I will report an error message this round, and the game is about to end!"

"Ok."

"Row."

"Finally relief."

There were eight people when we arrived at the cruise home port, but now there are only four left. Mutual suspicion directly eliminated half of them.

"Please tell me your transaction password!"

Li Cheng heard the voice on the phone say, "My verification code is wrong."

"Transaction failed."

'Buzz buzz buzz'

The red light in the house flashed, and Li Cheng waved to the camera, and his cameo ended there.

"The game is over, and the remaining 8 challengers have passed the level."

As soon as Wang Herun came out, she asked, "Who didn't come?" She saw that no one was paying attention to her, but most people had come out, so she said, "Li Cheng didn't come out."

Zhang Youhao asked in surprise: "Is it true?"

Li Cheng heard the noise outside getting quieter and quieter, and prepared to go out and say hello to everyone.

The remaining eight people gathered in the restaurant waiting for their reward. Li Luoluo said, "If it's Li Cheng, he's too smart."

Wang Herun nodded frantically and said, "It suddenly occurred to me that when he organized us here just now, he had been treating this as a werewolf game and reviewing the situation, allowing us to break through our own defenses. He is really amazing." Zhu Xinying saw Li Cheng coming out with water and said, "Here he comes, Cheng Cheng is here."

Everyone looked over immediately, and Li Gengxi asked, "Is it you?"

"It's me. It's always been me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited until more than half of you were eliminated before choosing to eliminate myself. Let me make it clear that I wasn't targeting you personally before. It was because your captain was zdd. I was targeting zdd. I hope you don't misunderstand me."

"And I see Gengxi and Youhao are about to get into a fight. My conscience tells me that I can't eliminate you anymore. It's a torment for you, and it's also a torment for me and Brother Bao."

Before Li Cheng finished speaking, Li Gengxi asked, "Is Brother Bao with you too?"

"Yes, actually we don't have Starlight Island. We are a lurking gatekeeper for a day and a half. In fact, we have been laying the groundwork a day and a half ago."

After Li Cheng finished speaking, Zhu Xinying was stunned. He knew that Li Cheng was an undercover agent, but he didn't expect that Starlight Island was fake.

Li Xueqin and Chen Bing looked at each other and realized that they had guessed correctly.

The rest of the zdd team were dumbfounded. These two guys were really good at acting, but Li Cheng was really targeting zdd.

Li Luoluo felt like a fool at this moment. He was fooled by Bao Beier and Li Cheng yesterday.

“It’s really hard work for everyone.”

After saying this, Li Cheng clasped his hands together and bowed to the rest of the people.

Chen Bing gave a thumbs up and said, "You are awesome."

"No, no, no."

Li Cheng waved his hand.

'Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa'

Chen Bing took the lead in applauding. She was proud of her younger brother.

Li Xueqin became dispirited instead. She regretted not stabbing herself just now. If she went back this time, she would be targeted to death. She even wanted to withdraw from the competition.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

The morale of the people at the cruise home port was very low. There were eight people when they came, but now there are only four left, which means half of them were eliminated.

Before they wanted to leave, Li Cheng said to Chen Bing and Zhu Xinying, "Sisters, please help me take care of Sister Xueqin when we go back. I'm afraid she will be targeted by ZDD and the others when she goes back, and most of the people on their side have been eliminated."

Chen Bing hugged Li Xueqin's arm and said to Li Cheng, "Don't worry, we will protect her when we get back!"

"Yes, don't worry. We will tell Brother Long when we get back. We will definitely take good care of Xueqin."

Zhu Xinying also nodded. The reason she was not eliminated this time was because of Brother Long's instructions that she would not be eliminated if she went with Li Cheng. The result was obvious that she was not eliminated.

Li Xueqin looked at Li Cheng who was about to leave, pursed her lips, and her eyes turned slightly red.

Li Cheng immediately hugged Li Xueqin and said, "Sister, what's wrong? Why are you crying again?"

"Pangbo and the others have all been eliminated. I finally see a relative who is still a gatekeeper. I really can't stand it anymore."

Li Xueqin wiped her tears. She was under a lot of pressure and she really didn't want to stay in the main city anymore.

"It's okay, sister. We'll be done recording soon. We'll see each other in Changbai Mountain. We'll be back at Taohuawu. Didi and I are there, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Li Cheng patted Li Xueqin on the head. After all, Li Xueqin was really one of the people who treated him particularly well after he entered Neiyu, and she was someone he had known from the very beginning. Not to mention 650, Taohuawu is about to enter its fourth season, and there is also Hao6. Everyone is a member of the Hao6 group, and Li Xueqin is the only girl in the Hao6 group, the group's darling!

"I'm leaving, sister. Take care of yourself. If you have anything, go find my brother-in-law, Brother Long, and Brother Yunlong. I've already said hello!"

Li Cheng saw Xiao Wang coming towards him, and he knew that if he didn't leave now he would miss the high-speed train.

"Okay, see you in Changbai Mountain in a few days!"

"See you at Changbai Mountain!"

When Li Cheng went out, he saw Chen Bing and Zhu Xinying and said, "I'm leaving, sisters."

Zhu Xinying took out her phone and said, "Hey, Cheng Cheng, add me on WeChat."

Li Cheng immediately took out his cell phone and said, "Okay, scan me."

'Ding. '

"I'm leaving now. I'll come back to BJ for a reunion when I have time!"

Chen Bing looked at Li Cheng's back and shouted, "Cheng Cheng, come home more often when you have time and visit your family more often!"

"understood!"

Li Cheng left the show with a waving back.

When everyone took the bus back to the main city, zdd was almost furious when he learned that half of their people were eliminated. He also asked who was leading the pace. He thought it was Li Cheng, but when he heard Wang Herun say it was one of his own, he was really speechless. He regretted not participating in this game. He actually lost four people at the hands of his own people. What was going on?

Wu Qilong and others were surprised when they learned that Li Cheng was the master of the psychological level, but they quickly came to their senses, because if Li Cheng participated in this variety show, he should also be a member of their group and it would be impossible for them to be separated.

Wu Qilong also told Li Xueqin to stay put and not worry, as their physical training team would be there to protect them.

Zhang Yunlong was still counseling Li Xueqin. He was really afraid that Li Xueqin would fall into internal friction! ——
Qingdao is brightly lit under the night sky, and the neon lights cast colorful reflections on the sea, like a dream.

On the highway, there is an endless flow of traffic, and lights shuttle across the winding road like a flowing galaxy.

Even in the late night, there is still a lot of traffic, as if this city never sleeps.

Li Cheng's team sat nervously in the car, their breathing and heartbeats seemed to be drowned out by the sound of the accelerating engine.

Everyone stared at the road ahead, afraid of missing any turning instructions.

On the way to the high-speed rail station, time became their most pressing burden.

The atmosphere in the car was solemn, and everyone knew what it meant to miss this high-speed train.

The outside world is rapidly receding, but inside the car there is a sense of urgency where every second counts.

Li Cheng held the phone tightly in his hand, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

His eyes were firm and focused, and he silently calculated the best time to arrive at the high-speed rail station.

Team members occasionally exchange glances through the rearview mirror. The tacit understanding between them does not require words, and everything is implied.

On the highway, every car is like a messenger in the night, rushing towards its own destination.

During this late night journey, Li Cheng's team had only one goal - to arrive at the high-speed rail station on time and continue their journey.

They raced against time, walked with the night of Qingdao, and went all out towards the high-speed railway station. (End of this chapter)
