The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

 

In the next minutes, Wei Bei and Tang Jing asked a few more questions, and the director answered them one by one.

When being asked on key issues, such as the identity of the impostor, the director team did not disclose anything at all.

It was confirmed that all guests had no other questions, and the director team finally began to announce today's mission.

Today's mission was no better than yesterday. Last night, there was a light rain. So today's mission simply moved from outdoor to indoor.

And today, there was only one mission--to help traveler Xiao Ming find his journal.

The traveler Xiao Ming visited Chaka Salt Lake and found it very beautiful, but unfortunately, he accidentally lost his travel journal when he was reading in the city library.

Xiao Ming's travel journal was lost in a corner of the library. He hoped the guests could help Xiao Ming find his missing journal.

The first group of guests to find Xiao Ming's travel journal will receive a luxurious meal provided by the director team.

The guest group who only provided effective clues will receive a luxurious dinner provided by the director group.

Of course, there are rewards for actively participating groups as well. The director group will prepare fresh vegetables for them, and the guests will make dinner by themselves.

Hearing this, You Jia couldn't help but complain: "Finally, you're willing to pay for our meals today."

Shan Zeyu couldn't help but laugh out instantly.

Wei Bei was full of suspicions, and he seemed to finally understand something: "So this is the reason why the director group asked us to be divided into groups? Only after grouping can we play games?"

Tang Jing nodded: "Perhaps."

He was still a little uncertain, always felt that there must be something hidden in the director's words that they hadn't figured out yet.

But the current situation is that they don't have clues in their hands, and the director team certainly would not say it. Only when they win the game and get clues, the director team will tell.

Thinking of this, Tang Jing couldn't help but glance at Ye Zexi in front of him.

Ye Zexi didn't notice Tang Jing's gaze, but He Jinyun suddenly turned his head and glanced over.

He Jinyun smiled at Tang Jing's gaze.

Tang Jing's face changed slightly, and he looked away.

The recording of the show officially started, and the guests also set off separately.

Ye Zexi and He Jinyun lagged behind the other two groups. They seemed to be in no hurry and strolled slowly in the library.

Suddenly, He Jinyun asked a question: "Do you think there are two impostors?"

Ye Zexi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "First of all, let's exclude Tang Jing and Teacher Shan first."

"Oh?" He Jinyun looked at Ye Zexi in surprise, "Why?"

Ye Zexi looked at He Jinyun sideways, and then said after a long pause: "Teacher He, are you pretending to be confused?"1

He Jinyun laughed: "You have to explain to the director and the audience."

After He Jinyun said that, Ye Zexi felt it was more acceptable.

After clearing his throat, Ye Zexi said: "First of all, the program team cannot expose the impostors at the beginning, so the hidden mission on the first day is most likely a decoy tactic. The director team took advantage of everyone's experience of being tricked in the previous recording, and fabricated the information of the second recording by saying there was a hidden mission."

He Jinyun nodded in agreement.

At the same time, the director behind the monitor was shocked, and looked at the screenwriter next to him in surprise: "How did he guess it?"

The screenwriter was also shocked, and it took him a long time to say: "How do I know?"

Ye Zexi's explanation continued: "Then, we must now think about the reason why the director team made up such a hidden mission that did not exist at all, and even gave the Teacher Shan and Tang Jing a reward?"

"Because the director team wants to send out a false signal, their real purpose is to send us altered information." He Jinyun took over the conversation.

"Exactly!" Ye Zexi said with a smile, "Taking advantage of everyone being kept in the dark of whether they are civilians or impostors, the director team wants us to focus on Tang Jing and Teacher Shan."

"On the first day I participated in the recording of the show, I completed the hidden mission by chance, and also got a sumptuous whole fish lunch box," Ye Zexi suddenly became a little angry, "Now it seems that this is not the fish lunch box, but the queen's poisonous apple!"

He Jinyun was amused by his childish appearance, and looked at Ye Zexi: "So the impostors—"

"They can only be us." The two said in unison. [1]1

After speaking, Ye Zexi glanced at He Jinyun in surprise.

He Jinyun didn't seem to have expected this situation either, and he curled his mouth silently.

Ye Zexi returned to his senses after a long while and couldn't help but say, "Teacher He, I didn't expect us to be in a tacit understanding."

"Is it not good?" He Jinyun asked.

Ye Zexi shook his head and said firmly, "No, very good."

The two smiled at each other.

At the same time, the director behind the monitor was so angry that he started stomping his feet.

"Why can't it be another group? How can they be sure they are the impostors?!"

The screenwriter's face was also a little unsightly, and he fell into a long silence.

He couldn't understand, it was not long before the rules were announced, and even the first task was not completed yet, how did the two impostors already guess their identities?

Indeed, the director team admitted that Ye Zexi's previous analysis is correct, but you can't just be so sure that the impostor is you!

The director at this moment expressed the same emotion as Ye Zexi——

"What a shame! The game has just started, but it's over." Ye Zexi shook his head, "Teacher He, it seems we are set to win this time."

He Jinyun was noncommittal.

The two wandered around on the first floor again, before He Jinyun said, "Then we will be the last to complete the mission today."

Ye Zexi nodded without hesitation: "Sounds about right. Since there is already one altered information, there is not much more to do. It just so happens that we can clear up the doubts on our identities and lead the doubts to other groups."

He Jinyun suddenly reached out and pulled out a book on the shelf: "Then let Shan Zeyu take the blow."

Ye Zexi suddenly caught a glimpse of the cover of the book in He Jinyun's hand. His pupils shrank slightly and exclaimed in a low voice: "Teacher He! How did you find the travel journal!"

 

He Jinyun handed the book to Ye Zexi indifferently and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if we find it. As long as we don't obtain the item, it won't be considered as completed. I just want to verify whether my guess is correct, but now it seems the program group is really not good at playing."

The director group behind the monitor: "..."

Who would have thought you are so smart?

So angry.

Unexpectedly, the more annoying incident is yet to come.

Ye Zexi listened to He Jinyun's words and nodded in agreement: "It's quite simple. Just with the information given to the guests, it's natural to come here to look for it first. Just based on the name travel journal, everyone should be able to link to this section here in the library."

He Jinyun nodded: "The travel journal is still an atlas, so the search area had been limited to this much."

Ye Zexi simply sat down on the chair next to him and began to open the journal.

The journal is very delicate. Turning the first page is the panoramic view of Chaka Salt Lake, and then turning the next page, it turns out to be all kinds of photos of the six guests from yesterday.

They have to say that the cameraman of the program group is really professional, and every photo taken is very beautiful.

Ye Zexi's favorite is this one where he and He Jinyun took off on their own and went to the depths of the salt lake by train.

In the picture, the first thing they saw was the back of the two people next to each other. Ye Zexi seemed to be tilting his head, saying something to He Jinyun.

He Jinyun's profile was well-defined, with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, listening very seriously.

Ye Zexi's mouth curved up when he saw it. Just as he was about to turn another page, Ye Zexi's hand suddenly paused.

Wait, something is not right.

He Jinyun kept his eyes on Ye Zexi, and when he saw Ye Zexi's frown suddenly, He Jinyun asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Zexi turned the travel journal around and tapped on the lower right corner of the page with his slender, white finger: "Here."

He Jinyun sat opposite Ye Zexi. After reading this line of fine print, his eyebrows were also frowned, but he quickly let go. He Jinyun smiled: "It seems that it was the right decision to look for this travel journal in advance, it is still useful."

Ye Zexi nodded his head: "There are some whistleblowers in the director group! Fortunately, we found this journal ahead of the other groups!"

Yes, after all, who would have thought that the director team would hide the hidden mission in the final mission?

Just below the group photo of Ye Zexi and He Jinyun, a line of small words was written-"While no one is looking, they are silently watching everyone with their eyes."

This hint was too obvious!

If it was seen by other team members, then the identities of Ye Zexi and He Jinyun could basically be determined immediately.

"So we--"

"Destroy it." Ye Zexi's voice just fell, and the page where the two of them were photographed was also being ripped out of the journal by him.

He Jinyun couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he saw that Ye Zexi's hand was so fast.

He originally wanted to keep a photo.

He seemed to not have a photo with Ye Zexi yet..

After tearing off the page, Ye Zexi carefully folded the photo: "Leave this page with me."

He Jinyun felt even more regretful, but he didn't show it at all.

"Okay." If anything, He Jinyun could still go to the director team for the copies.

With this thought in mind, He Jinyun's mood improved again.

To be on the safe side, Ye Zexi and He Jinyun thoroughly checked the journal again and made sure that there were no other obvious photos and sentences on it, then they put the journal back in its original place.

"Then where are we going now?" Ye Zexi asked.

He Jinyun suggested: "Why don't we just go around and look at other groups for clues?"

Ye Zexi felt that this proposal was feasible, so he continued to wander around the library leisurely with He Jinyun.

The assistant director looked at the leisurely appearance of the two of them and couldn't help but said, "Do you really want to leave them alone?"

The director glanced at him coolly: "Otherwise you can think of another plan that can trick them."

The assistant director was silent.

The screenwriter on the side also gritted his teeth. It seemed that the next time he wrote up the plan, he had to upgrade the difficulty level.

Ye Zexi and He Jinyun's day of wandering came to an end as Tang Jing and Shan Zeyu completed the mission.

Although Wei Bei and You Jia could not find the journal, they found more clues, so they won second place.

As for Ye Zexi and He Jinyun, who have been wandering around and have never been trying hard, naturally they were the last.

However, the two were still very satisfied.

Especially Ye Zexi, he almost couldn't hold back a smile when he heard that there were fish in the prepared ingredients.

After the guests' results were announced, the most important clues were announced.

The guests will enter the six compartments at the same time, and there will be clues prepared by the director team.

Ye Zexi opened the clue envelope on the table. There was only one photo inside. When he picked up the photo, Ye Zexi was instantly happy.

Yes, the director team is helping them this time.

Notes:
[1] I'm not sure if anyone is able to follow. To make it short, Ye Zexi said that in the previous recording, he got a lunch box full of fish as the reward for completing the hidden mission. And, everyone knows from the previous record that he loves fish; so a lunch box full of fish is now identified with him. This time, Tang Jing and Teacher Shan got the fish lunch box as a reward, under the disguise that they finished the hidden mission; the underlying meaning of the hidden mission this time was like saying that "it's Ye Zexi!". So if those two are not the impostors, it can only be Ye Zexi, and Ye Zexi's partner is He Jinyun. So they are the impostors. I hope this helps.
