Chapter 216
Hiding on top of the giant waterslide was Qiu Chengye.
He was feeling smug for having claimed the highest spot. While leisurely sunbathing, he checked the situation on his communicator watch.
When he saw that Liu Woxing had been chosen as the first “ghost,” he smirked dismissively.
“This round is in the bag.”
Just as he finished saying that, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps climbing up. Looking down, he saw Liu Woxing sprinting up the stairs.
Qiu Chengye’s heart jolted, his heart rate instantly shooting to 95.
“Damn it!”
[“This round is in the bag”]
[My Kitty bro is confidently delusional again]
[Liu Woxing is insane, how did she even spot Qiu Chengye here? At this height, it’s nearly impossible to see from below]
[The key is she made barely any sound going up the stairs, by the time Qiu noticed she was already in his face, like a paparazzo]
[Exactly! Like a paparazzo! I wanted to say this earlier—when Liu was grilling YuJinzhe, her questions were sharp like a reporter’s. And now she’s tracking people with the same accuracy—born paparazzo constitution!]
[As expected of the heiress of Yuxing Media]
[Kitty bro, danger!!]
With danger closing in, Qiu Chengye jumped up, ready to slide down the chute—but then hesitated. Wouldn’t that be too cowardly?
Could Liu Woxing really eliminate him?
With that thought, he calmed his breathing, forcing his startled heart rate back down, and then looked at Liu Woxing climbing the stairs.
“Liu Woxing, coming for me first—don’t tell me you think you can actually eliminate me?”
He sneered. “How do you plan to raise my heart rate to 120? Make me fall for you? You think too highly of yourself. Sure, last season I had a decent impression of you, but today you’ve ruined it all. Judging by your performance today, you’re already a pass for me. Don’t delude—”
But Liu Woxing, panting lightly, ignored his blabbering. She stepped onto the last stair, walked straight up to him—and without a word, shoved him by the shoulder and flipped him into the slide chute.
Qiu Chengye’s expression shifted from confusion to sheer terror in an instant. Losing his balance, he shot down the slide like a bullet.
A gut-wrenching scream tore through the air.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”
Everyone in the park heard it, the cry serving as a perfect deterrent.
[Holy crap, when did Liu become so ruthless and laconic?]
[I actually see shades of Old Xie in her now]
[Not joking, is this girl reborn or something?]
[“My name is Liu Woxing, I’ve been reborn. Last season I was weak, humiliated by some self-important guy. This season, I’ll reclaim everything that’s mine!”]
“Ahhhh—mmph!!”
Mid-scream, Qiu suddenly remembered something, slapped a hand over his mouth, and squeezed his eyes shut.
Splash!
He shot into the water, surfacing with a loud crash, and immediately raised his watch to check his heart rate. 118. Just two more points and he would have been out.
Relieved, Qiu exhaled shakily. Thank god—if Liu Woxing had actually eliminated him, that would’ve been utterly humiliating.
Feeling smug again, he looked up at the slide entrance.
“Liu—holy sh*t, a ghost!!”
There stood Liu Woxing, staring down at him expressionlessly, radiating sheer killing intent.
With her black hair, red outfit, and icy aura, she looked like a vengeful spirit looming above. Qiu was so spooked he nearly fainted!
That scare shattered his defenses—his heart rate jumped from 110 to 121 in a blink.
Ding ding ding ding ding!!
The park’s loudspeakers boomed with Director Niu’s voice:
“Qiu Chengye, out! Qiu Chengye, out!”
Within five minutes of the game, the first elimination had occurred.
[Liu is incredible!]
[I vote for the “reborn” theory too]
[The dark horse of this game has arrived!!]
Qiu’s elimination sent a wave of panic through the guests. Many who had been planning to hunt for coupons gave up and instead grew more cautious, scanning their surroundings carefully.
Meanwhile, hidden in the bubble pool, Xie Mi was still focused on the secret couple’s mission.
She typed on her communicator watch to Shen Moqing.
[Xie Mi]: Where are you?
[Shen Moqing]: Giant Wave Canyon.
[Xie Mi]: Stay put. I’m coming to you.
After locating him, she poked her head out of the bubble pool.
[Who’s that?]
[Why is there a sheep in the water park? Did it escape from the safari next door?]
[From another angle, isn’t this also the perfect disguise?]
“Xie-Sheep” crept out sneakily.
Because she’d been hiding too long in the bubble pool without caring about her image, she was now covered in froth. To onlookers, it looked like a giant walking foam monster.
[This is some bizarre titan sh*t]
[Xie really doesn’t care about appearances, lmao]
As the bubbles popped and vanished outside the water, drenched Xie Mi appeared in her true form, scampering along like a soggy water monkey.
Given that Qiu’s scream had come from the slides, far away, this area was safe for now. She sprinted toward Giant Wave Canyon.
But just as she reached the entrance, she heard a familiar voice.
“Sister.”
That tone… bad premonition.
She turned around and saw Yu Jinzhe standing behind a fake rock, smiling sweetly.
“Sister, what a coincidence. Let’s hide together.”
“…”
A wild Jinzhe had appeared.
“With one ghost chosen randomly every round, teaming up isn’t safe,” Xie tried to refuse.
Yu Jinzhe’s smile deepened. “If you’re the ghost next round, I’ll gladly let you eliminate me.”
“And if you’re the ghost?”
“Then I’ll catch you, Sister.”
“…”
What a flawless answer.
Of course, Xie Mi wasn’t about to give in. She pointed to the sky, shouted “UFO!”, and bolted, using the old diversion trick again.
But after just two steps, she heard fast footsteps behind her. Looking back, Yu Jinzhe was chasing relentlessly.
“Sister, you can’t shake me off.”
“You’re really possessed, aren’t you?!”
[Yu Jinzhe jumps in halfway—Xie & Shen duo in danger!]
[This guy really is like a ghost, haunting her endlessly, hahahaha]
[It’s over—if Jinzhe sticks to them the whole time, how can they complete their mission?]
[Xie & Shen are facing an epic crisis! How will they survive the sudden appearance of big villain Yu Jinzhe? Find out next time!]
