Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Chapter 53. (2/2)
Xu Jia had no idea Si Hai and No. 8 had already had an internal conflict. After running a long way in one breath, she began to think.
No. 10 was out; No. 7 and No. 8 were together, so it was inconvenient to attack; the clue card she found could only be used on female players. Combining all the above information, if she didn’t want to waste the clue card she had finally found, she could only use it on No. 9.
So No. 9, who did nothing and diligently searched for clues, was in trouble. When she was rummaging through the locker, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, covered her mouth directly, and dragged her to the corner.
No. 9, “!!!”
She was shocked and almost thought she was attacked by a pervert.
Xu Jia pushed No. 9 to the ground, held her tightly, then raised No. 9’s right hand high and earnestly advised, “It’s better not to struggle. Otherwise, you will be eliminated in a hideous way.”
Xu Jia was not threatening but speaking from her heart. She remembered that in the ghost special, there was an unlucky guy who would be eliminated if he was painted with lipstick. So he resisted violently, and when he was finally eliminated, he was so ugly that the others couldn’t bear to look at him. The visual effect was extremely shocking.
No. 9 thought that she would be crazy to die obediently. So she not only tried to retract her right hand but also wanted to throw off the woman sitting on her back and suppress her.
Xu Jia pulled No. 9’s right hand to prevent her from retracting it. Then he quickly opened the nail polish and prepared to fight quickly.
A unique smell of nail polish filled the air as soon as the bottle was opened.
No. 9’s heart jumped and shivered, “What will you do?”
Xu Jia didn’t answer. She didn’t want to reveal her trump card and give the other party a chance to escape.
No. 9 was going crazy, “Are you going to paint my nails? Stop it! I just got a manicure not long ago!!”
Xu Jia was slightly stunned. After a closer look, she saw that No. 9’s nails were indeed specially trimmed, with a gorgeous shape and a layer of flesh-coloured nail polish on them.
“I’m sorry for you.” Xu Jia felt very heavy. She didn’t want to do that, but what could she do? Apart from No. 9, she had no one to attack. It was all because of the game, and the attack methods were too weird.
“Ahhhh!!” No. 9 couldn’t tell whether the manicure was ruined or the impending elimination made her more depressed. Anyway, at that moment, she wanted to die, and she tried to drag the attacker out and beat her up.
“Someone – come quickly – help!” After struggling for a long time and being unable to get rid of the person on her back, No. 9 simply shouted loudly, calling for help.
Xu Jia muttered “I’m sorry” in her heart, stopped chatting, and sped up her work. She randomly picked up the brush and drew circles on No. 9’s nails. Because the speed was very fast, the circles were not carefully drawn, and the circles were large and small. Some were drawn on the flesh, some did not cover the entire nail cap, and some were even hollow circles.
In fact, Xu Jia had many ideas after getting the props. For example, should she pour the nail polish on No. 9’s hand? Or should she put No. 9’s fingers in one by one?
However, after considering it, Xu Jia decided to use the conventional operation – brushing with a brush.
The nail polish is only a small bottle, and the amount is not much. In addition, the nail polish is slightly dense, and the flow rate is slow when pouring. What if No. 9 suddenly gets angry when pouring it out, the liquid falls to the ground, the props are wasted, and the target is not eliminated? What should she do?
As for inserting fingers, it sounds simple, but it is not easy to do in practice. If you find the right opportunity, the bottle may be overturned; it takes a lot of effort to put in one finger at a time.
On the contrary, if you don’t care about accuracy, using a brush is not that troublesome, and it is very fast to paint each fingernail. The most important thing is that this method is very safe and will not waste props.
No. 9 was stunned when she felt the brush on her skin. She trembled her lower lip and couldn’t help shouting, “Paint it for me better!!!”
Xu Jia’s tone was particularly vicissitudes, “You may not believe it, but I have never painted nail polish before.”
No. 9, “…”
She wanted to curse.
In just ten seconds, five nails were painted. Xu Jia was just thinking about whether to process it and saw that No. 9’s name tag changed from gold to white.
So she changed her words and comforted, “It’s over now, redo the manicure later.” As she said that, she quickly peeled off No. 9’s name tag.
Because No. 9 had shouted loudly before, Xu Jia was worried that someone would come here following the sound, so she didn’t plan to stay for long. After the OUT broadcast sounded and confirmed that No. 9 was out, she hurriedly left the accident scene.
No. 9 glanced at the freshly baked black nails and was severely shocked. After a long sigh, she said in self-abandonment, “Forget it, I’ll change my look another day.”

“Player No. 9 is out, player No. 9 is out.”
In a corner of the teaching building, No. 5 paused and looked up in disbelief. After repeating the broadcast several times, he sat down dejectedly and reluctantly accepted the reality—the people he chose (No. 9 and No. 10) had all been eliminated. In other words, he could never win this game again.
On the surface, the players’ choice of their favorites seems random, but it is not.
Couples must survive to the end to win, so high-level players are more likely to be selected than low-level players.
The two must be in a mutually selected relationship. High-level players will not be interested in weak players, so couples can only be matched between people of the same level unless there is a special reason.
For this reason, No. 5 chose No. 9 and No. 10. Who knew that before they could even determine whether the match was successful, the people they liked were eliminated…
No. 5 was depressed, thinking that this was the bad thing about playing with high-level players, that the elimination was too empty. The others were fine not long after the game started, but the two people he chose were gone!
After a long while, No. 5 finally accepted the reality that he could not win. He stood up and said, “I can’t win anyway, so I’ll just play to my heart’s content.”
