Rebirth 09: Starting from taking charge of Running Man on CCTV

Baby covered her mouth, her eyes wide open.

"Really? It's not a bull's head?"

"See for yourself!"

Zheng Kai handed the token to her.

Baby took it, looked at it over and over twice, and confirmed that it was not a bull's head pattern.

"It's true!"

She laughed, and her dimples appeared.

"I knew it, the director wouldn't hide everything in the closet."

Zheng Kai grabbed Baby's shoulder, then immediately let go, excitedly spinning around on the spot.

"Baby, you are my lucky star!"

"Put it away quickly, don't let anyone see it."

Baby lowered her voice and stuffed the token back into Zheng Kai's hand.

Zheng Kai tucked the token into the deepest part of his pocket and patted it.

"Let's go meet up with Brother Chao."

"etc."

Baby grabbed him, "Don't rush to find the main group. If the members of the Immortal Sword Team see us running back, they'll definitely know we've found something."

Zheng Kai thought about it and realized it made sense.

"Yes, yes, yes! Baby's got some brains!

"Absolutely!"

"Let's keep looking, let's go around and look in other places."

Baby's tone was soft, but her logic was crystal clear.

Zheng Kai nodded.

"Okay, whatever you say."

The two pretended to be nonchalant and continued walking along the corridor.

The plaza surrounding the Zhuque Tower.

The night was deep, and the light from the red lanterns bathed the bluestone pavement in a warm orange hue.

Hu Ge stood alone under an old locust tree at the edge of the square, his hands in his pockets, looking at the lights of the Zhuque Tower in the distance.

He's been "dawdling" here for almost ten minutes.

As an undercover agent for the Running Man team, his mission was simple... to slow down the progress of the Legend of Sword and Fairy team.

The best way is to do nothing.

Pretending to look, but actually going around in circles.

"Brother Hu!"

A voice came from behind.

Brother Hu turned his head.

Yang Mi.

She jogged over from the direction of the pavilion in the middle of the lake, her face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.

Her hair was a little messy from the night wind, but her eyes were frighteningly bright.

"Mimi? Didn't you go to the pavilion in the middle of the lake?"

"Found it!"

Yang Mi ran up to him, looked around, and made sure there were no members of the Running Man cast nearby.

Then she took something out of her pocket and showed it to Brother Hu by opening her palm.

Half a bronze token.

Half a tiger's head is carved on it, with its fangs fully exposed.

White Tiger.

Hu Ge's pupils contracted slightly.

"The White Tiger Token?!"

His voice carried just the right amount of surprise.

"How did you find it?"

Yang Mi proudly raised her chin.

"Didn't I take that piece of paper with strange characters written on it before? It had the water radical, pavilion radical, and heart radical. I guessed it was the characters for 'Lake Pavilion' taken apart and put back together. Sure enough, the token was hidden in the Lake Pavilion."

"Mimi, you're amazing!"

Brother Hu smiled and gave a thumbs up, his tone sincere.

But his heart was pounding.

The Sword and Fairy team has already obtained half of the White Tiger.

That's going a bit too fast!

The Running Man team won't lose, right?

Hu Ge maintained his smile well, but his back was already sweating.

Yang Mi put the token back into her pocket and patted it.

"Brother Hu, did you find anything here?"

"no."

Brother Hu shook his head, "The building is full of fake bull heads. We've turned over one and a half floors, and there's not a single real one."

"That's normal. The production team must have hidden the real token in a place that's not easy to find."

As Yang Mi spoke, her gaze swept across the square.

Suddenly, she stopped moving.

Brother Hu followed her gaze.

Across the square, three extras dressed as ancient soldiers, holding spears, were patrolling back and forth along a fixed route.

one two three.

Three spears.

Yang Mi's eyes slowly widened.

"Three spears..."

She muttered to herself, then suddenly turned to look at Brother Hu.

"That clue image! Three crossed spears!"

Brother Hu was stunned for a moment.

"You mean...?"

"These three extras are the clue!"

Yang Mi's voice was low, but she spoke rapidly, "In the middle of the night, the production team arranged for three soldiers with spears to patrol the square. Don't you think that's a bit too deliberate?"

Brother Hu didn't say anything.

Because he knew Yang Mi was right.

This is the clue.

If Yang Mi finds the token hidden on this extra, the Legend of Sword and Fairy team will take off.

He can't let this happen.

Yang Mi had already turned around and was about to walk towards the extras.

Brother Hu stood there, watching her retreating figure.

Her name tag was pasted right in the middle of her back.

The words "Yang Mi" are clearly visible in black letters on a white background.

There were no other members of the Sword and Fairy team around.

The lighting was dim, and the nearest camera was more than ten meters away.

Brother Hu pulled his right hand out of his pocket.

The fingers were slightly spread apart.

He took a step forward.

Two steps.

Yang Mi's back was right in front of me, less than an arm's length away.

He raised his hand.

My fingertips were only ten centimeters away from that name tag.

Five centimeters.

Brother Hu's hands were trembling.

If they tear her apart and steal the White Tiger Token, the Running Man team will have one more real token, while the Immortal Sword team will lose a core brainpower member.

one stone two bird.

Three centimeters.

His fingertips could almost feel the edge of the nameplate sticker.

In that very instant.

Yang Mi turned around.

Hu Ge's heart skipped a beat.

But Yang Mi didn't look at his hands.

Her gaze went past Brother Hu's shoulder and fixed on the three patrolling soldiers in the square, her eyes full of excitement.

"Look, Brother Hu!"

She pointed at the extras.

"They follow a fixed route, always turning in front of that stone tablet. The stone tablet! The clues must be related to that stone tablet!"

Brother Hu had already withdrawn his hand.

He pretended to scratch the back of his head, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat.

"A stone tablet?"

His voice was a little dry.

"Yes! Come on! Let's go take a look!"

Yang Mi grabbed Brother Hu's wrist and pulled him toward the extras.

Hu Ge stumbled as she pulled him along.

He glanced back at the spot where he had just been standing.

One second short.

Just one second short.

Yang Mi's grip wasn't strong, but she pulled firmly, leaving him no room to hesitate.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it'll be troublesome if the Running Man cast sees us."

Yang Mi lowered her voice and urged him on.

Hu Ge swallowed hard and followed her.

Only one thought was swirling wildly in my mind...

If Yang Mi finds another token, the Sword and Fairy team will have two real tokens.

As an undercover agent for the Running Man team, he hasn't done anything so far.

He has to figure out a way.

We must find a way.

But Yang Mi was pulling his wrist and walking forward excitedly.

He couldn't very well tear off a girl's name tag in front of the camera, could he?

That opportunity is gone.

Where is the next opportunity?

Brother Hu doesn't know.

All he knew was that Yang Mi was pulling him toward the three extras with spears.

Move on to the next token.

Towards victory for the Sword and Fairy team.

And he could do nothing.

In the square, three extras continued their patrol with expressionless faces.

The spear gleamed coldly under the lamplight.

Yang Mi's pace quickened.

Sweat dripped down Hu Ge's forehead and temples.

In the southeast corner of the Vermilion Bird Tower, in an empty courtyard.

Deng Chao and five men searched three rooms but found nothing.

"Brother Chao, there's nothing here."

Chen He squatted on the ground, looking utterly hopeless.

"Keep looking, it's definitely there."

Deng Chao's tone remained confident.

Li Chen stood at the door, arms crossed, and glanced at Deng Chao.

He didn't say anything.

But that look in his eyes was exactly the same as Shen Teng's just now.

Deng Chao felt another chill run down his spine.

P.S.: Let's continue the discussion: What celebrity, song, or movie/TV show left the deepest impression on you in 2009? Which guest would you like to invite to Running Man? And what games would you like to see?

I'm planning to invite Jay Chou for the third episode! The game details are pending!
