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

Yang Mi grabbed Brother Hu's wrist and rushed straight towards the three extras patrolling the square with spears.

"Stop! Don't move!"

Yang Mi reached out and stopped the lead extra, smiling ingratiatingly.

"Brother, cooperate a bit, let me see if you're hiding anything on you."

The extras remained expressionless, not even lifting their eyelids, and continued walking forward, spear in hand.

Undeterred, Yang Mi went around to his front and blocked his path.

"Really not? Don't lie to me."

She reached out and touched the extra's belt, then patted his cuff.

There was nothing there.

Brother Hu cooperated by stopping the second extra, his actions seemed very enthusiastic, but he only lightly touched the outside of the extra's clothes with his fingers.

"Mimi, we don't have this either."

Yang Mi refused to believe it and stopped the third extra as well.

She crouched down to check if there were any hidden compartments in the extras' boots, and then lifted the hem of the extras' outer robes to rummage through them.

The extras remained expressionless throughout, like three statues as she tossed and turned.

Got nothing.

Yang Mi stood up, put her hands on her hips, and stared at the departing figures of the three extras.

"That's not right... Three crossed spears, such an obvious hint, how come there's nothing there?"

Brother Hu leaned against a stone pillar, pretending to be deep in thought.

"Could it not be on the extras, but at some point along their patrol route?"

Yang Mi's eyes lit up.

"That makes sense!"

Before he could finish speaking, a scream suddenly came from the direction of the connecting corridor in the distance.

"Help...!"

Liu Shishi's voice.

Yang Mi's expression changed, and she turned and ran.

"Shishi!"

Brother Hu followed behind, taking large strides, but his heart was pounding with anxiety.

The two people crossed the square and turned into the side courtyard corridor.

The lantern's light swayed and flickered, illuminating three figures in a blind spot ahead.

Zheng Kai blocked the way from the front, arms outstretched, feet pressed low.

Baby stood to the side, taking small, quick steps to block Liu Shishi's retreat route to the right.

Liu Shishi's back was pressed against the wall, her hands were protectively behind her back, and her face was full of panic.

"Don't come any closer! I don't have anything!"

Zheng Kai smiled brightly.

"Don't be nervous, Shishi. I'm just checking if your name tag is still on."

Baby added a comment from the side.

"Yes, just take a look, it won't hurt."

"Yang Mi is here!"

Zheng Kai caught a glimpse of two figures rushing towards him from the end of the corridor out of the corner of his eye.

Yang Mi shouted as she ran.

"Zheng Kai, you stop right there! Are you bullying our Shishi?"

Brother Hu also shouted out.

"Don't touch her!"

Almost at the same time, hurried footsteps came from the other side of the corridor.

Yuan Hong and Huang Zhiwei rushed out from around the corner.

Huang Zhiwei, who is over 1.8 meters tall, casts a shadow that covers half of the corridor.

Yuan Hong, panting, pointed at Zheng Kai.

"Zheng Kai, are you going to run or not?"

Zheng Kai turned around and looked.

Yang Mi and Hu Ge are in front, and Yuan Hong and Huang Zhiwei are behind.

Four against two.

His lips twitched slightly, and he patted Baby on the shoulder.

"withdraw."

Without saying a word, Baby turned and ran.

Zheng Kai followed closely behind, and the two of them darted out of the connecting corridor like rabbits, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Yang Mi rushed to Liu Shishi and grabbed her hand.

"Are you alright? Is your name tag still there?"

Liu Shishi turned around and let her see her back.

The name tag was intact.

"They're still here, they just got ready to make their move and you arrived."

Liu Shishi breathed a sigh of relief, then took something out of her sweatpants pocket.

Half a bronze token.

Half a tiger's head is carved on it.

White Tiger.

"I found it under a flowerpot on the second-floor windowsill just now, but I was blocked by the two of them before I could run away."

Yang Mi's eyes widened instantly.

She took out a copper piece from her own pocket and put it together with Liu Shishi's.

The two halves of the tiger's head fit together perfectly.

A complete White Tiger token.

"We've got them all!"

Yang Mi was so excited that her voice cracked.

Yuan Hong leaned over for a look and slapped his thigh.

"Thank goodness, if Shishi's name tag had been torn off just now, this half of the token would have gone to the Running Man team."

Huang Zhiwei nodded, his expression remaining calm, but a slight smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Good luck."

Brother Hu stood on the outskirts of the crowd, looking at the complete white tiger token, and gave a thumbs up with a smile.

"MiMi is amazing, the Legend of Sword and Fairy team is in the bag."

His tone was so sincere it couldn't be more sincere.

But he was panicking inside.

The Sword and Fairy team has collected a complete token.

The situation is spiraling in a direction he doesn't want to see.

Yang Mi carefully put the White Tiger Token away and clapped her hands.

The two carefully put away the tokens.

"Alright, stop crowding together, you'll make too much of a target. Split up and search separately, then meet up at the main building in half an hour."

The five people dispersed again.

Yuan Hong and Huang Zhiwei headed north, while Liu Shishi and Yang Mi turned west.

Hu Ge walked alone towards the outer edge of the square.

He walked slowly, his hands in his pockets, but his mind was racing.

As I passed the northwest corner of the square, a section of a stone dragon statue was visible behind a row of low shrubs.

Brother Hu paused in his steps.

It was a dragon-shaped statue in a half-squatting posture, made entirely of bluestone, about waist-high, with its mouth slightly open, facing the night sky.

There was no one around.

The nearest cameraman was following him from about ten meters away.

Brother Hu walked over, squatted down, and put his hand into the dragon's mouth.

My fingertips touched a cold piece of metal.

He pinched the edge and slowly pulled it out.

Half a bronze token.

It is carved with half of a coiled dragon's body.

Azure Dragon.

Hu Ge's heart skipped a beat.

He quickly stuffed the token into his inside pocket, stood up, dusted off his trousers, and pretended nothing had happened.

He sighed as he looked at the camera.

"Sigh, there's nothing there. What a wasted trip."

The cameraman didn't say anything.

Brother Hu turned around and walked back, his pace much faster than before.

Having chips in hand gives you a completely different sense of confidence.

Meanwhile, on the east side of the side courtyard.

Huo Jianhua stopped the three extras with spears again and groped them all over.

Surprisingly, I actually found something.

Half of the bronze token slid out.

A tortoise and a snake intertwined.

Xuanwu (Black Tortoise).

Huo Jianhua smiled slightly and put the token into his pocket.

He turned and walked towards the main building.

This token must be handed to the captain personally.

The main hall on the first floor of the Zhuque Tower.

The seven members of the Running Man cast formed a circle.

Deng Chao frowned deeply as he looked at the two token fragments in Shen Teng and Zheng Kai's hands.

"Just these two?"

Shen Teng shook the half of the Azure Dragon in his hand.

"I found it all by myself, in three minutes, isn't that fast?"

Zheng Kai revealed half of the Xuanwu stone.

"Baby discovered this, so the credit goes to her."

Baby smiled but didn't reply.

Deng Chao placed the two fragments on the table, and several people gathered around to look at them, the atmosphere becoming somewhat somber.

Li Chen spoke first.

"We seven people have searched for so long and only found two fragments. The other seven people from the Legend of Sword and Fairy team are also searching, they can't possibly have fewer than us."

Chen He squatted down beside him, his elbows propped on his knees, and sighed.

"Not just a lot, they might have taken the lion's share."
