The ceiling lamps were blazing.

Light and shadow overlapped on the stage. The scenery seemed endless, like heaven on earth.

His dance partner’s exposed back was as white as snow where it showed in the gaps of the blood red dress, the thin shoulder blades fanning out like a b.u.t.terfly’s wings. The skirt extended down––

There was a pair of legs covered in white silk, each suggestive arc curving perfectly.

“……” A flame suddenly flickered to life in Wei Shi’s pupils. The fingers wrapped around Wu Jin’s wrist exerted force, and he mercilessly pulled the other person forward towards his body. The skirt flew up and swirled, and the man’s straight back suddenly blocked out the gazes from beneath the stages, “Who put it on you.”

Wu Jin was scornful. This man! In order to muddle through the hidden weapon throwing incident, he was evading the topic completely! So, Wu Jin reminded them smartly, “About the dagger…”

Wei Shi fell silent, his eyes moving downwards.

In the next second, the man didn’t hesitate to take out the remaining two daggers. The daggers were extremely light, and the blades were as thin as a cicada’s wing. The man held the handle of the knives with his gun callused hands, his actions as forceful as thunder.

Wu Jin’s mouth dropped open.

Wei Shi flipped the knife, pointing the blade at himself and holding out the handle towards Wu Jin.

Wu Jin: “……” It was quite handsome, but what kind of operation was this?!!

Wei Shi: “How’s the wound.”

Before Wu Jin could react, the man determinedly bent down to check the wound in full view of the public, and Wu Jin instantly returned to his senses. No way! There were so many cameras below them, it was too embarra.s.sing! Wu Jin quickly pulled the big boss back up, “Don’t, don’t, don’t! The wound is fine…”

Wei Shi cheek brushed against his.

The dance music entered the next segment, and the dark curtains billowed as the wind blower turned on. Wei Shi’s arms suddenly exerted strength, and the two of them exchanged positions. In the camera dead corner that was blocked out by the man’s back, Wu Jin felt that he’d practically been pushed right into the big boss’s arms.

His shoulders were wrapped in overwhelming heat.

This was Wei Shi’s apology.

Wu Jin: “!!!”

The man didn’t say a single word, but Wu Jin’s ears suddenly turned red.

Wait a minute, what kind of plot was this! How could he be knocked down by Contestant Wei just like this? He was armed with a super high level mecha armor with extreme combat power––

The next part of the music played on.

Wu Jin quickly straightened his back and shifted the situation back on track in one second.

The youth’s pupils were bright, filled with war, and his fighting spirit was raging––

Wei Shi was expressionless, “Go and change your clothes first.”

Wu Jin choked, and he raised his chin up fiercely.

Do you think that the person standing in front of you is just an ordinary Little Witch?! You’re wrong! This suit of clothing is the golden war suit of the super high level mecha Little Witch!

Wu Jin raised up his wrist to demonstrate. In the next second, five metal anesthetic tubes extended out from his fingertips, launching a sharp attack at Wei Shi’s wrist!

Wu Jin’s enthusiasm was riding high, “Profound Solid Metalized Claw!”

The man’s shoulders sank slightly, his body moving like a ghost as he avoided Wu Jin’s ostentatious attack. His throat convulsed as a large stretch of elbows and arms swept past his eyes. Wei Shi reached out to block Wu Jin’s retreat!

Wu Jin wasn’t afraid at all, his knees coming up and gathering strength to hit Wei Shi. The metal armor around the knee joint extended and rebuilt, countless precision parts colliding with each other with the most subtle of sounds. Several metal alloy barbed spines suddenly stabbed out from around his knee, and there was the buzzing sound of an electric current running between the tips of the thorns!

Wu Jin was excited, “Ultimate Technique, Superconducting Phase Change Metal Life Chasing Soul Stab!”

Wei Shi’s pupils contracted. The youth’s knee stopped a few centimeters away from the front of his body, and this very standard tactical action swept the skirt upwards. The metal armor, white silk stockings, tight muscles, narrow waist line, and long legs that didn’t have a trace of excess fat burst out in a dazzling manner in front of his eyes, making him grit his teeth. Even the air was stirred up, carrying wafts of fierce baby rabbit flavor!

Even the test paper was ineffective now.

Around the stages, cameras were flying around wildly! Machinery and beauty were a natural born match, and n.o.body would fail to indulge in the violent aesthetic of a mechanical transformation of a beautiful youth!

Off-stage, several players breathed a sigh of relief. Trainee Zhu Lan and the female ghost Karen had finally started to fight each other; other people’s deaths had nothing to do with them!

On the other side, the trainees from the other two groups had also poked their heads in to check out the situation.

Ming Yao was shouting and complaining, “Captain, why is the female ghost in their group more beautiful than the one in our group? Did someone pay money for it––”

Zuo Botang’s expression froze slightly, and then he opened his mouth, “It doesn’t seem like fighting. It’s more like them practicing moves.”

On the stage.

Wei Shi narrowed his eyes, his pupils so deep they seemed bottomless. The youth was like a ferocious little beast, full of fighting spirit and aggressive momentum within his field of vision and in front of the camera, making him want to bite him on the neck and dominate him wantonly until he cried and accepted his sovereign’s mark––

Wei Shi spoke in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Are you finished?”

Wu Jin quickly displayed the spring blade at the tip of his shoes, stretching it out before retracting it, then doing it again as he voiced spontaneously, “Biubiubiu––”

Wei Shi suddenly took off his combat jacket and wrapped it around Wu Jin, who was still in the midst of his ‘biubiubiu’ session, blocking the large stretch of exposed back from view.

Wu Jin’s eyes were round as he glared.

Wei Shi’s words were concise, “Get ready to fight and end the game.”

The dance music paused after the end of the first movement.

They both turned around at the same time.

According to the script in , after the c-position male lead finished dancing, the female lead and the male lead would perform together. According to the original arrangement, the male lead and female lead should have started fighting each other to the death, but now, they were standing side by side––

There was an instant uproar from beneath the platform.

Unsurprisingly, the next contestant who was about to go up onto the stage recoiled, “Are they allied? Karen and Zhu Lan formed an alliance?!”

At the edge of the stage, Ming Yao was condescending, “Isn’t that nonsense! Contestant Wei… Oh, I’m talking about Zhu Lan, he’s already put clothing on the female ghost. This isn’t an alliance, this is a show of loyalty towards the female ghost! This is too overboard, to actually go this far for the sake of winning. But, this girl has a really good figure. If it were me, I’d be willing to do it, too.”

Beside him, Zuo Botang was still looking at the stage.

Ming Yao: “Oh, say, Captain, who was laughing loudly from behind the curtains just now….”

Zuo Botang suddenly interrupted him, “Don’t you think Karen looks like Wu Jin.”

“……” Ming Yao was greatly shocked, “Little Witch’s legs are really attractive… Captain, that’s not right, wasn’t Little Witch eliminated? He even came back with a set of mechanical armor?”

Zuo Botang: “Withdraw first. They’re going to clear the field. We’re leaving.”

Ming Yao figured it out very quickly, “Once they start clearing the field, the elimination rate of the contestants will go much faster than the rules stipulate. That means that it doesn’t make any difference whether or not we go up onto the stage for the rehearsal. So, now we’ll––”

“Go look for mechanical weapons.” Zuo Botang said. All the details in the clues finally came together at the moment he confirmed Wu Jin’s ident.i.ty. The female lead could be replaced. There was only one source for the mechanical armor and firearms:

“Go and find––the Nightingale.”

Near Jingyi.

Raphael and Wen Lin quickly exchanged glances. Their play style was stable, and they didn’t stay for long after Jingyi left the field.

Raphael’s gaze swept around.

His allies had been eliminated in the previous round of attacks. The Nightingale had erupted in power, and not only had his ally, but even Wei Yan, an S-level trainee, had disappeared. At this time, there were only 18 survivors, and Wei Yan had been his final ally for this compet.i.tion round.

The atmosphere in the final round was much more bizarre than Raphael had imagined. There was distrust in the crowd, but strange peals of laughter suddenly burst out from behind the curtain, only to come to an abrupt stop. According to Raphael’s original estimation, since Wei Yan, Wu Jin, Red, and the King of Hearts couldn’t be seen on the field, his biggest opponents should be Jingyi. However, everything seemed to be overturned at this time.

Wu Jin was back.

The survival count on their wrist watch jumped from 18 to 17. n.o.body in the group dared to get close to Wu Jin and Wei Shi. At present, it was speculated that Scarf was ranked first, followed by Jingyi…

From beside him, Wen Lin suddenly spoke in a low voice, “The method that Little Witch used to come back.”

Raphael: “What––”

Wen Lin: “Little Witch eliminated the female ghost, which is why he could come back. Have you noticed? The Nightingale has been missing for the past half an hour. At the same time, Wei Yan has also gone missing.”

Raphael’s pupils contracted violently, “Are you saying that Wei Yan might also––”

In the field, their wrist watches vibrated again.

Everyone bowed their heads at the same time.

The survival count was 16.

had already become a purgatory, and the next round of performances, was about to begin.

The contestants scattered even as a small-scale brawl broke out.

Qin Jinbao took out a switch-blade. The Dolma trainee yelled, then led his ally towards the crowd, “Try to stop them from fighting each other.”

His Stardust Cup ally nodded directly, “Do we want to occupy a superior position first? What about whatever’s happening behind the curtain?”

Qin Jinbao paused, and his expression returned to how it had been earlier, as though he’d fallen into a trance after seeing some extremely shocking scene, “Over there… did you hear the laughter from the back?”

His ally nodded, “Weren’t you also behind the curtain at the time?”

Qin Jinbao: “Behind there was a Red who got killed because he laughed too loudly.”

Ally: “What? Killed because he was too cute?”

In the next moment, the stage music for began to play.

The female lead, the ‘Nightingale’, was lifted up onto the stage.

Qin Jinbao’s ally: “……”

Qin Jinbao’s ally: “… Hahahahahahahahahaoooh!”

In the middle of the stage, the Nightingale’s face was expressionless as they turned around stiffly. Because the little fairy dress was too small to fit over his shoulders, it had exploded into a criss-cross shirt.

The Nightingale was looking at the two of them.

Qin Jinbao: “… I especially told you not to laugh so loudly. That’s Wei Yan, Wei Yan! Run––!!”

Dozens of meters away.

Behind the curtain, in the backstage corridor of the studio.

Wu Jin lowered his voice and said, “The Queen has an advantage over Karen, Karen can beat the Nightingale, and the Nightingale can beat the Queen.”

“In the final battle, the only one who can eliminate Karen is the Queen.”

“So, we kill the Queen before the stage performance begins.”

The lounge for the female lead in was just across from them.

Wu Jin was full of ambition as he went to push open the door––

Wei Shi suddenly stopped him, “No cameras.”

Wu Jin: “That’s not true! There should be some inside.”

Wei Shi: “Were you mechanically refitted everywhere?”

Wu Jin pondered, “Not completely. They can’t just arm me to the teeth… Mmph!”

The small white teeth that hadn’t been mechanically refitted were pried open violently, lips and tongues colliding fiercely.

A few minutes later.

Wu Jin looked at Wei Shi in horror.

Wei Shi looked thoughtfully at Karen’s dress.

Wu Jin: “You can’t really be planning to buy this dress as well––”

Wei Shi pretended not to hear him, “Open the door, get ready to fight.”

Wu Jin slapped the wall frantically, “Wear it yourself!”

White powder drifted down from the wall, sprinkling over Wu Jin’s head and face. He suddenly felt that the feel of the wall beneath his hand wasn’t right.

Walls shouldn’t shed white powder.

There was a huge wall mirror behind the white stretch of paint.

The Queen stood in the mirror, looking coldly at Wu Jin.

Wu Jin was stunned and stretched a hand out to the side.

A palm covered in gun calluses quickly covered his own, giving Wu Jin a handful of rose petals.

Wu Jin raised his hand.

He held it up over his own head and sprinkled flower petals!

The Queen’s expression changed abruptly, and she immediately retreated into the mirror––

Wu Jin raised his eyebrows.

In the next moment, the youth lifted his feet and kicked fiercely, the sharp spring blade at the tip of his shoes piercing through the thin mirror. Wu Jin then followed up with another kick!

The mirror broke with a crash.

The arm covered in mechanical armor came up to block the flying gla.s.s fragments.

Wu Jin was dressed in a blood red dress, his shoulders covered in rose petals as he broke the mirror and charged in!
