The Nightingale had the wind’s favor.

Countless propulsion engines were launched at the same time. Wei Yan pulled out his slender rose thorn bayonet in an instant, and with the help of the propulsion, his figure turned into a virtual shadow as he ferociously sent the cameras flying!

Wei Yan: I don’t want to be on camera.

Raphael: “Hahahahaha wu…”

Wei Yan was expressionless as he looked down.

Raphael immediately pinched his cheek muscles, but there was a sudden chill from above his head! Raphael’s expression changed dramatically, and he took out a sharp knife in the blink of an eye, the metal clanging as he countered Wei Yan’s attack. Their blades intersected several times in succession, but he couldn’t keep up with Wei Yan’s speed––

A life-saving capsule suddenly popped out!

Survival count: 14.

Hilarious laughter burst out of the life-saving capsule.

Wei Yan, Wen Lin: “……”

Wen Lin launched an attack before Wei Yan could kill and eliminate all witnesses. The White Moonlight support position contestant performed beyond everyone’s expectations, pulling out the heaviest long sword and using the weight of his weapon to counter Wei Yan’s speed. His clumsy appearance hid a clever mind; he was actually able to survive for more than a minute under Wei Yan’s onslaught.

Finally, a silver life-saving capsule popped out again.

Wen Lin was eliminated. Survival count: 13.

In the Crosson Show live broadcast room, many viewers had already hit out long strings of ‘666666’, which was mixed in with a screen full of ‘hahahahaha’, ‘hohohohoho’ and so on. Even Ying Xiangxiang couldn’t hold back her laughter, and it seemed that only Blood Pigeon was left to give a normal commentary, “Contestant Wen’s talent may not be the best, but he’s very clear about what he wants. His strength is his advantage, and what he needs now is an opportunity…”

Ying Xiangxiang took over the microphone and suddenly spoke in a curious tone, “Director, give us a shot from camera 47. There’s someone behind Wei Yan.”

The Crosson Show’s seventh elimination match, studio stage.

After Wei Yan eliminated two people in a row, the contestant hidden in the shadows finally walked out.

There were two life-saving capsules on the ground.

One of them was lying there quietly, but the other one was still continuously expressing glee.

Wei Yan frowned at the player who’d just appeared in front of him.

This trainee wasn’t any of the contestants from the Crosson Show.

The Stardust Cup…

The trainee in front of him smiled, his voice gentle, “Right now, 80% of the cameras in the field are filming you. Even if the game ends now, the highlight camera shots are likely to be given to&#k2013;&#k2013;the current you.”

“Contestant Wei Yan.”

“I can help you solve this problem. Let’s make a deal.”

Behind the stage in the studio.

The sound of footsteps rang out in a hurry. Thin Fire cursed as he put away the bow and arrow that he’d picked up from somewhere unknown, almost getting stabbed through the kidney by a flying dart.

At this time, the survival count had dropped to 12.

Half an hour of time had already passed since he first started sniping at Caesar.

Caesar…

He really didn’t know where the hell Caesar had gotten his damned luck from!

Thin Fire was burning with anger. First, Caesar had been chasing after Yu Chu. He attempted to snipe at Caesar, but was stopped by Zoe. Then, Zoe was eliminated by Jingyi, so he continued to snipe at Caesar––but why on earth had he then been stopped by Wei Yan?!

How could that be?!

Caesar almost turned himself into a fool from laughing when he saw the scene. Though, he’d originally already been a fool.

Caesar’s laughter, which sounded like a pig barking, drifted through the dimly lit corridor from time to time. Thin Fire set up his bow again, intending to take advantage of Wei Yan’s distraction to get rid of Caesar. However, while he was judging the terrain, Thin Fire suddenly hesitated.

Wei Yan was protecting Caesar, even as he chased after him. He seemed to be driving Caesar in a certain direction.

This corridor was different from everywhere else. The wall mirror had been smashed to pieces, and there were glass shards scattered all over the floor. The Queen’s lounge was behind the mirror, and the mirror didn’t reflect Thin Fire’s figure. On the ground… there was more than one figure on the ground. Thin Fire suddenly realized what was going on, and hadn’t yet started to retreat––

Thin Fire was planning a tactical ambush when Wu Jin suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He squatted down beside him.

Wu Jin was happy, “What a coincidence, Brother Thin, you’re also squatting here!”

Thin Fire: “……” Was he a mushroom?

Wu Jin pulled away the bow that was pointing at Caesar, “Brother Thin, what are you doing!”

Thin Fire quickly palmed a throwing knife, his peach blossom eyes curving up, “Looking at Wei Yan.”

Wu Jin: “What a coincidence! I’m also watching Brother Wei Yan!”

Only now did Thin Fire realize that Wu Jin and Wei Yan were both wearing fancy clothing. He swept a look over Wu Jin’s legs, then retrieved his gaze.

No matter how good looking they were, they still belonged to a man, and Little Witch’s legs weren’t interesting. Anywhere that Wu Jin appeared was bound to also have a Wei Shi. Also Wei Shi had come and gone like a shadow throughout all seven elimination matches, so Scarf’s strength couldn’t be underestimated…

In the corridor, Wei Yan finally drove Caesar into the mirror room.

Wu Jin was suddenly very curious. He noticed that Yu Chu was behind Wei Yan.

Inside the mirror room, the Queen was disturbed by the arrival of the contestants and instantly came back to life. However, the Nightingale restrained the Queen, and Wei Yan soon gained the absolute upper hand––

Wu Jin stretched to the left and right, and then slowly stood up.

Beside him, Thin Fire’s expression underwent rapid changes. The relationship between Wei Yan’s appearance and the Queen’s restraint was too obvious. From the perspective of the rule triangle, the other two sides meant that the Queen restrained Wu Jin, and Wu Jin restrained Wei Yan… squatting here with Wei Yan was like waiting for a rabbit to send itself into a trap.

Wu Jin gestured, then smiled widely and said, “Brother Thin, don’t snipe me.”

Then, he stepped to the center of the battlefield in his red dancing shoes.

In the corridor, Wei Yan abruptly turned back.

Half of his thrusters had failed at the moment Wu Jin appeared.

The Nightingale was the Queen’s curse, and Karen was the Nightingale’s sorrow.

In the Crosson live broadcast room, the scrolling comments suddenly grew enthusiastic! There was a pink fairy Nightingale standing in front of a girl in a red dress…

Behind the scenes, the program producer slapped his thigh, “Quick, show me the real-time shot cut in rate!”

Wei Yan 62%, Wu Jin 38%.

Beauties could be seen often, but a human-shaped weapon fairy was really rare.

In the center of the camera, Wu Jin gave Wei Yan a sword salute. His heart was filled with battle intent! Let’s fight, mecha warrior––

Wei Yan suddenly looked away.

Numerous cameras swarmed over to follow him. Wei Yan’s face was expressionless, his eyes unnaturally stiff.

According to Yu Chu, the audience’s tastes tended towards novelty hunting and women’s clothing. Even Wu Jin wouldn’t be able to pull away the camera’s attention, so unless there was something even more novel––

Wei Yan suddenly pulled out his knife.

Dozens of thrusters rapidly came to life, and Wu Jin only had time to raise up his blade in a hurry––but Wei Yan’s target wasn’t him.

The remaining glass mirror was smashed again. Wei Yan charged into the room behind the mirror, holding down Caesar who was aiming at Yu Chu after a two or three moves. Caesar yelled angrily, “F*ck you, let me get rid of this traitor, and then we can have a happy, full-on fight––”

Wei Yan forcibly pressed down on Caesar’s right hand and tore at the area behind the Queen’s ear! The mask fell off in response, and then Wei Yan grabbed Caesar’s watch and scanned it.

The watch beeped twice.

Outside the room, two AI directors with mechanical arms rushed into the room, holding up a full set of court clothing for the 300 pound Caesar.

Caesar waved his hand broadly and rejected it, “What kind of thing is this!”

The directors picked up the clothing and enthusiastically handed it over to Caesar.

Caesar: “Where’s the program team, you two robots are broken––Oh, what the hell!”

The four mechanical arms pushed Caesar down, pulling on the heavy court gown. The cameras that were originally focused around Wei Yan were stunned for a moment, then they all flew over to Caesar excitedly––

Direct shot lens cut-in rate.

Wu Jin 15%, Wei Yan 14%, Caesar 71%.

Wu Jin: “……”

Blood Pigeon, Ying Xiangxiang: “……”

Wei Yan was still expressionless, but his eyes returned to normal.

The S-level trainee was resolute and vigorous. He left Caesar with two blades, and a disposable small-scale blasting weapon as compensation, then left without looking back at all.

From behind him, the 300 pound Caesar was being oppressed by the mechanical arms, lying there on the ground and howling like he was being ruined.

Wei Yan walked up to Wu Jin.

Karen’s suppression of the Nightingale reached its peak.

Most of his thrusters failed again, and Wei Yan’s two pink, feathered wings withered and drooped.

Wei Yan pulled out a rose thorn bayonet and also made a sword salute.

Wu Jin returned it.

The winner was king, and the loser was the enemy.

In the instant when the two blades collided, all their wrist watches vibrated at the same time––

Karen, Queen, Nightingale.

The three leads were in position.

The 12 into 1, final round, start.

Juurensha: Awwww, I wanted Wei Shi as the Queen, but Wei Yan forcing Caesar into the role was pretty good too hahahah.
