Awakening the Daily Intelligence System-Chapter 851 - 367 Discussing Heroes over Wine
When Lin Mo was mentioned, the horrifying and terrifying face immediately surfaced in the minds of the two girls, along with the series of crazy actions he had done in the program. Thinking of this, An Xin couldn’t help but shiver and quickly shook her head, saying, "Let’s just forget it... Staying with him, let alone sleeping soundly, I might get scared and wet my pants. He’s even scarier than the show itself!"
Sister Ji couldn’t help but chuckle softly, then urged, "Alright, alright, stop thinking so much, go to sleep quickly."
An Xin responded with a sound, saying, "Then I’ll trouble you, sister. In the second half of the night, I’ll take over for you." Having said that, she lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. However, in the darkness, the figure of Lin Mo, dressed in a purple tailcoat and wearing a terrifying clown makeup, appeared in her mind like a ghoul. An Xin murmured helplessly, "It’s over, I really shouldn’t be thinking about that crazy guy, he’s like a lingering spirit..." She turned over, shook her head hard, trying to empty her mind and force herself to fall asleep.
In another contestant dormitory, Sherlock Holmes, John Military Doctor Hua, Gongsun Ce, and Bao Zheng were conducting a safety inspection of the room. Because they acted together with great tacit cooperation, they completed a detailed inspection of the entire dormitory in just 7 minutes. The inspection results were the same as the first time, everything in the room was normal, with no sign of any outsiders having entered.
Sherlock Holmes suggested seriously, "The program group definitely wouldn’t do something meaningless. In my opinion, they are likely to do it again. Hua, Mr. Gongsun, you should go rest for a while. Perhaps before you fall asleep, the program people will show up again."
Bao Zheng hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Mr. Holmes is right. Gongsun, Mr. Hua, don’t force it, preserving energy is vital."
Gongsun Ce and Military Doctor Hua were indeed too tired, they nodded and didn’t refuse much. However, when choosing beds, they showed a bit of pride. Gongsun Ce chose the bed that Sherlock Holmes had slept in before, while Military Doctor Hua lay down on the bed Bao Zheng had occupied earlier. Neither of them had the ability to fall asleep quickly, so they closed their eyes and began slowly adjusting their breathing, trying to fall asleep.
On one side, Bao Zheng poured two glasses of water, placing them on the desk, then sat on one of the chairs, smiling at Sherlock Holmes, saying, "Mr. Holmes, it seems you’ve encountered a similar situation to me." He was talking about the subtle relationship between detective and assistant, just as Gongsun Ce always looked for opportunities to surpass him.
Sherlock Holmes shrugged, saying, "I think in this world, most famous detectives and their assistants may encounter similar issues, unless they choose to act alone, but that’s almost impossible. You see, even Elder Di always has Li Yuanfang with him, doesn’t he?" freёnovelkiss.com
"Makes sense." Bao Zheng nodded, then raised a somewhat sensitive question, "Mr. Holmes, who do you think is most likely to win the ultimate championship? Is it your group, or Kira Moon’s group, or that clown-dressed Lin Mo?"
"Is Mr. Bao trying to discuss heroes over wine with me?" Sherlock Holmes smiled as he sat across from Bao Zheng, "Unfortunately, there’s no plum wine or fine liquor now, nor is there an atmosphere of overcast skies with thunder and lightning."
Bao Zheng laughed, "Just chatting casually, I just want to hear your opinion. After all, you are the group closest to the championship right now."
Sherlock Holmes took a sip of water, pondered for a moment, then replied, "If Lin Mo isn’t eliminated tonight, then the competition for the championship may still be full of variables, it’s too early to draw conclusions now."
Evidently, Sherlock Holmes had also realized that tonight’s series of actions by the program group was all targeted at Lin Mo.
Bao Zheng’s pupils slightly contracted but quickly returned to calmness, speaking steadily, "Great minds think alike. Then let’s wait and see if that crazy ’Sun Wukong’ can escape the ’Five Fingers Mountain’ of the ’Perfect Escape’ program group."
This night was destined to be an uneasy one. As time ticked by, it unknowingly reached three in the morning. Sure enough, the air conditioning malfunctioned again. This time, the temperature rose faster than the previous two times, taking only 4 minutes for the temperature in the contestants’ room to soar from the originally comfortable 22 degrees to nearly 40 degrees. The room turned into a steaming oven, making it unbearable; let alone sleeping soundly, just standing still was enough to make one sweat profusely.
Many contestants could no longer endure the torturous heat. Not waiting for the program group to notify them, they voluntarily stepped out of their rooms, gathering at their respective doorways.
"What’s going on? What does the program group really want? The temperature gets higher every time!" "Is there no end to this? Are they trying to turn us into a sauna?" "This is too much! I want to protest!" "It’s already three in the morning, if this goes on a few more times, we can just wait for the sunrise." "Protest! The program group must give us an explanation!" "I feel this isn’t just a simple prank, could it be the program group’s special fetish?" "Are we going to be tortured like this every day for the rest of the time?" The complaints of the contestants were one after another, echoing in the corridor. This time, many contestants firmly stated that they must get a reasonable explanation from the program group and could no longer be toyed with without limit.
