Running Man: Female MC causing trouble? I don't take the pressure!

Behind them, Chen Mo and Song Yuqi peeked halfway out from behind the wall.

"What is Zhen Yuan doing?"

"It's like visiting an artifact exhibition."

"Shall we go up and take him down?"

"........."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Let's try a different approach."

When Song Yuqi met his gaze, she instantly understood what he meant.

"Okay, okay."

After saying that, the two of them stood up at the same time and walked towards Zhang Zhenyuan.

At this moment, Zhang Zhenyuan was unaware of the impending danger and was still immersed in the cultural atmosphere.

blah blah-

Footsteps approached.

"Zhen Yuan, what are you doing?"

The sudden sound made Zhang Zhenyuan turn around instinctively.

He gradually breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the person's face clearly.

"Brother Mo, Sister Yuqi?"

Song Yuqi asked, "Zhen Yuan, did you hear the news that Brother Sha is out?"

"I heard you." Zhang Zhenyuan nodded.

Song Yuqi asked knowingly, "Have you seen anyone 'out' Sha Ge?"

Zhang Zhenyuan shook his head: "No, it's possible that the Cleanser has appeared, but I didn't hear the bell, nor did I see how Brother Sha was eliminated."

These words were clearly an attempt to clear himself of suspicion.

But the real 'culprit' was standing right in front of him, so naturally he wouldn't doubt what he said.

The two approached each other step by step.

Chen Mo changed the subject, asking, "Zhen Yuan, did you destroy the serum?"

"We haven't found a place to destroy it yet."

Zhang Zhenyuan sighed, his curious gaze shifting back and forth between the two: "Brother Mo, what's going on between you and Sister Yuqi...?"

"We are cursed."

Chen Mo fabricated this reason without batting an eye.

Song Yuqi glanced at Chen Mo, and with a knowing look in her eyes, she said helplessly, "It's my fault. When Chen Mo and I were looking for the destruction point, we accidentally found a cursed item. Now we have to hold hands to complete the mission."

"So that's how it is."

Zhang Zhenyuan believed it without question and even sighed on their behalf, "It's a good thing you didn't encounter the Cleanser, or you would have been finished."

"yes."

Chen Mo stared at him and smiled: "You haven't destroyed the serum yet, have you? Well, Yuqi and I just found a destruction site. Let me take you there now."

"Can the destruction points be reused?" Song Yuqi asked curiously from the side.

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, I saw the notification next to the destruction point."

Song Yuqi looked enlightened: "Oh~"

"Let's go now!"

Zhang Zhenyuan had never suspected them before, and now, after hearing their conversation, she was even more certain that they were doing good deeds.

"Let's go, let's go."

Chen Mo and Song Yuqi exchanged a glance, both revealing subtle, mischievous smiles.

Just started.

The two walked ahead of Zhang Zhenyuan, acting as if they were leading the way.

As they walked, their pace slowed down, and Zhang Zhenyuan gradually took the lead.

Zhang Zhenyuan had no suspicions whatsoever. After all, the two were holding hands and there was a height difference between them, so it was normal that they couldn't walk fast.

hiss--

Song Yuqi acted decisively, tearing off a corner of Zhang Zhenyuan's name tag.

Zhang Zhenyuan's face changed drastically in fright. She quickly turned around and looked at Song Yuqi with a horrified expression: "Sister Yuqi, what are you doing?"

Before he could break free, Chen Mo grabbed him too.

With a forceful gesture, Zhang Zhenyuan was pulled into someone's arms.

Before the other person could even stand up straight, Chen Mo used the momentum of his bending over to wrap his arms around the back of his neck, exposing his entire back.

He gestured to Song Yuqi: "Tear it up, tear it up quickly."

Song Yuqi placed her hand on Zhang Zhenyuan's back and tore the name tag upwards.

"Brother Mo! Sister Yuqi! Mmm!"

Zhang Zhenyuan's head was trapped under Chen Mo's armpit, unable to break free.

He pounded his feet with all his might, but all he made was the sound of his shoes hitting the ground.

Sizzle!

The brand name was ruthlessly torn off.

Zhang Zhenyuan stopped struggling and accepted the reality of being torn apart.

"Hahaha, poor Yuan Yuan."

Chen Mo released his hand and stroked Zhang Zhenyuan's head.

"You two...?"

Zhang Zhenyuan straightened up and stared at them.

Although Chen Mo and Song Yuqi both had smiles on their faces.

However, this has completely different meanings before and after it was torn.

"We had no choice," Song Yuqi explained with a smile.

Just that one sentence.

Zhang Zhenyuan immediately guessed their true identities: "You are... um!"

Chen Mo stuck his name tag to his mouth: "Shh—"

Zhang Zhenyuan: ".........."

"Hurry up, hurry up, people are coming soon," Song Yuqi said, hugging Chen Mo's hand.

Chen Mo didn't even have time to comfort Zhang Zhenyuan. He patted his head, messed up his hair, and then pulled Song Yuqi away from the scene quickly.

Watching the two figures flee, Zhang Zhenyuan stood alone, bewildered in the wind.

"If I had known they were... Oh dear! I'm such an idiot."

..........

VR test zone.

Zheng Kai put the VR glasses back in their original position.

"Shayi is out of the picture? Does this mean the Cleansers are starting to take action?"

"Is Brother Sha far away from us? I didn't hear the bell."

Baby crouched down to check for clues about the destruction site, searching and guessing what methods the Cleanser had used to eliminate Sha Yi.

Zhang Zhenyuan is out!

Zhang Zhenyuan is out!

"Um?!"

Zheng Kai and Baby stopped what they were doing at the same time, their eyes darting around.

"Zhen Yuan got eliminated?" Baby pouted, forming an "O" shape. "There should be more than one Cleanser."

Less than fifteen minutes had passed since Sha Yi was eliminated.

If there were only one Purifier, it would be impossible for him to tear apart Sha Yi and Zhang Zhenyuan so quickly.

"They're not going to send two more 'monsters,' are they? Hahaha." Zheng Kai adjusted his hat. If they really sent two 'monsters,' he would have to find someone to form an alliance with.

"That's possible."

Baby smiled, then turned around and found an envelope under the VR controller: "Hey, Kai Kai, come here, there's something."

"What is it?"

Zheng Kai composed himself and followed Baby's movements with his gaze.

Baby lay on the ground and reached his hand under the machine, slowly moving his fingers until he finally managed to pull the envelope out.

She quickly stood up, holding the envelope up like a trophy: "Haha~!"

"Quick, quick, open it and see what it says." Zheng Kai smiled and leaned closer.

When looking for something, just look for Angela Baby.

Baby opened the envelope; inside was only one line of text.

——【Bronze Ware】

Zheng Kai rubbed his nose: "So the destruction point is in the bronze ware exhibition area?"

"It should be. Let's go check out the bronze artifacts exhibition area now." Baby put away the envelope and decided to go without much thought.

The two hadn't gone far when they saw two figures walking towards them from the open-air corridor.

"Xiao Mo, are you two going on a date?"

Seeing some suggestions from readers, I've started trying voice-to-text typing, and the experience is pretty good, though the formatting takes a bit of time.

The remaining three chapters will be posted at midnight, I promise, so don't stay up too late, my darlings!
