The fourth segment is also the most classic name tag ripping battle in RM, but by this point it was already dark.

After a day of running, everyone's face showed obvious fatigue, but their eyes were rekindled with fighting spirit for the upcoming final showdown, whether it was tension, excitement, or vigilance.

The director's cold, suspenseful voice came over the loudspeaker.

"The final battle—the name tag ripping show—begins now! Suitcases containing clues are hidden throughout the school. But the hunters have been released! Find the clues, protect the name tags, and survive to the end!"

"Should we split up or team up?" Li Chen from the blue team asked his teammates Chen He and Wang Baoqiang in a low voice.

"Find the boxes first! Splitting up will be more efficient, watch out for the hunters!" Chen He, who was usually funny, became serious at this moment.

Team Yellow's Deng Chao, Zheng Kai, and Dilraba quickly devised a strategy, deciding that Deng Chao would lead Dilraba while Zheng Kai would act alone.

On the red team's side, Sha Yi rubbed his arms: "This is clearly a school, but why does it feel so eerie... Mo, Lulu, what do we do?"

Shen Mo's gaze swept quickly across both ends of the dimly lit corridor. He listened intently for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

"Sha-ge, go look in the classroom area on the left, and keep a low profile."

"I'll take Bai Lu to the laboratory building on the right."

"Keep your walkie-talkie open. If you encounter a hunter, don't fight him head-on. Call for help immediately and run to open ground."

Sha Yi nodded and patted Bai Lu on the shoulder.

"Girl, stick close to your brother Mo, and be smart!"

After saying that, he crouched down and left.

Bai Lu tightened her collar and subconsciously moved closer to Shen Mo.

The school has a special sense of emptiness at night, and any slightest sound is amplified.

She could hear her own heartbeat, which was a little too fast, and she could also feel Shen Mo's steady breathing beside her.

She looked up at him, and for some reason, the fear in her heart dissipated considerably.

"Walk."

Shen Mo spoke concisely and took the lead, heading towards the stairs of the experimental building on the right.

Bai Lu quickly followed, her steps extremely light.

"Brother Mo, over there!"

Bai Lu, with her sharp eyes, caught a glimpse of a silver briefcase peeking out from under the podium of a laboratory with its door half open.

Shen Mo nodded, signaling her to stay at the door and keep watch, while he slipped inside.

He moved quickly and carefully, without making any unnecessary noise, and soon took out the box.

Open it, and inside is a note with a large blank space on it.

"Wow, this production team is going too far! They actually have time off!"

Bai Lu leaned closer, her face full of resentment.

Just as they were about to leave the laboratory, a sudden, urgent ringing of bells and shouts came from downstairs!

"It's satay!" Bai Lu's expression changed.

Immediately afterwards, Sha Yi's urgent breathing came through the walkie-talkie.

"Ink, ink! It's at the back door of the lab building! Hunter!"

"The hunter is Kim Jong-kook!"

"I've been spotted! He's chasing me! Don't come any closer! Run in the opposite direction!"

Before the words were finished, a muffled thud of physical collision and struggle rang out, followed by the ear-piercing sound of tearing fabric—"Rip!"

"Shayi, OUT!"

The broadcast sounded coldly.

The air inside the laboratory building seemed to freeze.

Bai Lu covered her mouth, her eyes widening.

Sha Yi has been eliminated!

It's only been less than ten minutes!

Moreover, Kim Jong-kook!

Why did Running Man call him over to be a hunter?!

The strongest fighter among the regular cast members in the Korean version, known as the strongest ability user, whose peak achievement was that four people tried to stop him, but he dragged them away all by himself.

Shen Mo's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed Bai Lu's wrist.

"Let's go! Get out of here! Go upstairs!"

Bai Lu didn't have time to think. He pulled her along, and she rushed towards the stairs with her feet barely touching the ground.

As soon as the two stepped onto the corner of the stairs leading to the third floor, they heard heavy and rapid footsteps and a very oppressive bell sound coming from downstairs, approaching the place where they had just been!

Kim Jong-kook! He's up here!

Fear gripped Bai Lu's heart instantly, and she gasped for breath.

Shen Mo reacted quickly, forcefully pushing her up the stairs and hissing.

"Quick! Get to the third floor! Find a place to hide! I'll lure him away!"

"No!"

Bai Lu retorted without thinking and grabbed his arm.

"It's too dangerous! Let's go together!"

"obedient!"

Shen Mo's tone was unusually stern, "Two people make us a bigger target! I have a way to escape! Let's go!"

He abruptly pulled his hand back and even gave her a light push.

Then he turned around and deliberately made slightly heavier footsteps as he walked towards the corridor on the other side of the second floor.

The footsteps downstairs did indeed stop, then turned and chased after the direction from which Shen Mo made the sound!

Bai Lu's heart pounded as she watched Shen Mo's figure disappear around the corner of the dark corridor. Although she knew it was just a TV show, a warm feeling still washed over her.

She forced herself to calm down and, following Shen Mo's instructions, slipped into a large classroom as quickly as possible and hid behind a tall locker.

In the darkness, time seemed to pass exceptionally slowly.

She could hear her own heart pounding like a drum, and she could also faintly hear the intermittent running sounds coming from afar downstairs.

Every second was torture.

How is Shen Mo?

Did he shake off the "hunter"?

Will it be...

Just as she was lost in thought and almost couldn't resist rushing out, the classroom door, which was slightly ajar, was pushed open a crack.

How is Shen Mo?

Just as she was lost in thought and almost couldn't resist rushing out, the classroom door, which was slightly ajar, was pushed open a crack.

Bai Lu tensed up and slowly poked her head out.

A figure nimbly slipped in, silently closed the door, leaned against the door panel, and breathed slightly.

It's Shen Mo!

Bai Lu almost cried out and suddenly stood up from her hiding place.

Shen Mo had clearly been running intensely; his forehead was slightly damp and his breathing was a little uneven.

"Are you alright?" The two asked in hushed tones almost simultaneously.

Bai Lu shook her head, looked him up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his name tag was intact and his clothes had no signs of tearing.

"Did you shake them off?" Bai Lu asked, still shaken.

"For now," Shen Mo replied briefly, listening intently to the sounds outside the door.

"We can't stay here any longer; we need to look for other clues."

Before long, shouts of "Wang Baoqiang OUT!" "Chen He OUT!" "Deng Chao OUT!" "Zheng Kai OUT!" came one after another.

While searching in a classroom, Shen Mo and Bai Lu suddenly heard the familiar bell ringing again in the corridor outside!

Kim Jong-kook!

He's come looking for me!

And judging from the voices, he wasn't the only one?

There seemed to be other footsteps, as if someone was being chased?

Shen Mo's face darkened. He opened the window of the first-floor classroom, grabbed Bai Lu's hand, and walked towards it.

"Go out the window!"

"quick!"

Seeing Bai Lu struggling to climb out the window, Shen Mo simply picked her up in a princess carry and lifted her onto the windowsill. Watching her nimbly flip out the window, he followed closely behind.

Just as the two had escaped the classroom and hadn't even run far, the classroom door was kicked open with a "bang"!

It's Kim Jong-kook!

He instantly spotted the two people running outside the window.

Not far behind Kim Jong-kook, another figure was fleeing in panic.

It's Dilraba!

Kim Jong-kook glanced in the direction of Shen Mo and Bai Lu, then at Dilraba, and hesitated for a moment.

Shen Mo ran over and clapped his hands, attracting Kim Jong-kook's attention.

Kim Jong-kook clearly understood what he meant, so he let the two girls go and they would have a manly showdown.

But Kim Jong-kook, who had chased Shen Mo for a while and then let him escape, wouldn't fall for it again.

He suddenly turned around and pounced on Dilraba!

"Reba, watch out!" Bai Lu couldn't help but exclaim.

Dilraba was terrified and turned to run away, but she tripped over some debris on the ground and stumbled to the ground.

Just as Kim Jong-kook's shadow was about to loom over them, at this critical moment!

Shen Mo rushed over and wrapped his arms around Kim Jong-kook, trapping him in a tight embrace.

"Run, Dilraba!"
