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

His voice rose at least three notes, carrying an extremely exaggerated sense of collapse.

The Running Man teammates off the field were getting anxious.

"Brother Chao, hurry up and run! The timer is running!" Zheng Kai shouted from the side.

"Walk forward! The acupressure mat is right in front of you!" Chen He cupped his hands into a megaphone shape.

Deng Chao turned around unsteadily, facing the acupressure mat.

He lifted his foot.

I put it down again.

Lift it up.

I put it down again.

"I can't time it right..."

His expression was one of immense pain, like a warrior standing on the edge of an abyss.

The members of the Legend of Sword and Fairy group were already laughing their heads off.

Yang Mi laughed so hard she squatted down on the ground, patting her knees.

Yuan Hong, supporting Huo Jianhua's shoulder, laughed so hard he couldn't straighten up.

Even Huo Jianhua, who usually keeps a straight face, couldn't help but smile.

Deng Chao finally gritted his teeth and stepped on it.

"ah!!!"

The screams echoed throughout the Ming and Qing palaces.

The moment he stepped onto the acupressure mat, he sprang up as if electrocuted, then landed heavily back on the mat, and bounced again.

"My foot!!! It hurts so much...!"

His steps were completely erratic, alternating between left and right footing, as if he were stepping on a red-hot iron plate.

Each step he took was accompanied by a blood-curdling scream.

It took him a full half minute to finally stagger to the table.

Shen Teng stood next to the table, his smile frozen.

Deng Chao dipped his finger in the ink and turned to Shen Teng.

"Wait, don't move... I'm coming..."

He casually stretched out his finger and aimed it at Shen Teng's face.

Then precisely...

It poked Shen Teng on the forehead.

"No, no..."

He wiped it, then dipped his finger in it, and aimed it again.

This time, the poke landed on Shen Teng's left cheek.

"I'm so dizzy... I can't see clearly..."

A fingertip of ink was smeared onto Shen Teng's right cheek.

Another finger was stuck to his chin.

Shen Teng's face transformed into an abstract painting within thirty seconds.

A red dot on his forehead, a red mark on his left cheek, a red patch on his right cheek, and a lump of red mud on his chin.

Only his nose was completely clean.

"Deng Chao!!!"

Shen Teng finally exploded.

"Are you blind?! Your nose is right here! Right here!"

He pointed to the tip of his nose, his voice cracking.

"I know, I know... Don't move..."

Deng Chao suppressed a laugh, his fingers trembling as he reached out again.

This time, it landed on Shen Teng's lips.

"puff......"

"good!"

The laughter from the sidelines had completely spiraled out of control.

Yang Mi sat down on the ground, laughing so hard that tears streamed down her face.

Li Chen stood on the sidelines, holding his head in his hands, unable to bear the sight.

Wang Baoqiang squatted on the ground, laughing so hard he was doubled over.

Baby covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking.

Deng dipped the inkpad in the ink for the sixth time.

Shen Teng glared at him, his face flushed, his chest heaving violently.

"Deng Chao, this is the last time I'm saying this to you."

Shen Teng is almost frantic!

"If you can't poke my nose, I'm quitting the show right now."

Deng Chao took a deep breath and concentrated...

Her fingers pressed firmly on the tip of Shen Teng's nose.

"Passed!!!" the referee's voice rang out.

A burst of cheers and applause erupted from the audience, but there was even more laughter.

Shen Teng stood there, his face covered in red marks, his expression like that of a terracotta warrior that had been mocked.

He slowly turned his head to look at the timer on the sidelines.

First round time: 2 minutes and 47 seconds.

Shen Teng closed his eyes.

Deng Chao immediately ran over and put his arm around his shoulder.

"Teng, I'm so sorry, I really fainted, I didn't mean to..."

"Say it again?"

"I'm really dizzy! Look, I'm still swaying!"

As Deng Chao spoke, he leaned to the side again.

Shen Teng shook off his hand and walked away without looking back.

He paused as he passed the camera and smiled at the lens.

That smile was gentle, calm, and devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"I'm not angry."

"I was just thinking about what would be the most reasonable way to kill him."

Laughter erupted again.

Chen Yang nodded slightly in the director's area.

Deng Chao's performance in this round was nothing short of perfect.

The spinning was real, and the dizziness was real, but it was exaggerated by at least three times.

They achieved all three goals: delaying time, creating laughs, and damaging the Running Man team's performance.

And most importantly... it seems that no one doubts him right now.

Everyone just thought he was dizzy from spinning and had a lapse in performance.

The captain saved face, and the undercover mission was accomplished.

This is the self-cultivation of an actor.

On the sidelines, Zheng Kai and Chen He were already warming up.

Zheng Kai kicked his legs twice, glanced back at the numbers on the timer, and gritted his teeth.

"Two minutes and forty-seven seconds, and we've already lost so much in the first round."

Chen He patted his chest beside him.

"No problem! The second round of shuttlecock kicking... let me tell you, I was the shuttlecock king in elementary school! Fifteen shuttlecocks are a piece of cake!"

Zheng Kai glanced at him sideways.

"How dare you bring up your elementary school days?"

"That's skill too! Skill knows no age!"

Baby stood between the two, looked down at the shuttlecock in her hand, kicked it lightly, and caught it.

"The three of us should be fine, right?"

Zheng Kaichong nodded to her.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Chen He immediately came over.

"And me!"

"Try kicking the shuttlecock first."

"That's going too far!"

The opposing team, the Chinese Paladin group, was still laughing.

Yang Mi wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up, and patted her skirt.

She turned to look at Brother Hu.

"They're done for in the first round, so we've got this in the bag, right?"

Brother Hu smiled slightly.

"Don't let your guard down, there are still two rounds to go."

His tone was as gentle, calm, and impeccable as ever.

Only he knew that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

When it's the turn of the Sword and Fairy team, how will they stall for time?

He can't imitate Deng Chao's Oscar-worthy performance.

But Chen Yang's words still echoed in my ears... "You don't need to act very well, you just need to make a less-than-correct choice at crucial moments."

Brother Hu was silently making plans in his mind.

The second round of whistles is about to sound.

Zheng Kai had already stood in the center of the field, holding the shuttlecock in his hand, his expression like that of a warrior about to be executed but determined to turn the tide.

Chen He stood opposite him, rolling up his sleeves.

"Little cheetah, lift your leg, I'll catch it."

"Can you catch it?"

"You'll see when you kick it."

Baby stood to the side, ready to fill in.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Legend of Sword and Fairy group, Yang Mi had already taken out a handful of melon seeds and distributed them to Liu Shishi and Tang Yan.

The three girls stood side by side, eating sunflower seeds and watching the show.

Yuan Hong shouted from behind...

"Go for it! We believe in you!"

Chen He turned his head and glared at him.

"Shut up!"

The whistle blared shrilly.

Zheng Kai stood in the center of the field, holding a shuttlecock in his right hand, slightly bent over, his eyes fixed on Chen He beside him.

Baby stood beside the two, ready to fill in at any time.

"start!"

Zheng Kai flicked his wrist, and the shuttlecock flew out steadily.

Chen He raised his foot, caught the kick, and kicked back.

"one!"

Zheng Kai kicked the shuttlecock to the side, sending it tracing a beautiful arc.

"two!"

The rhythm is picking up.

Three, four, five...

Li Chen, standing on the sidelines, clenched his fists and muttered a number.

Shen Teng stood with his hands in his pockets, his face still covered by Deng Chao's "Abstract Ink Painting," looking at the scene with a complicated expression.

"Six! Seven! Eight..."

A mischievous glint flashed in Yang Mi's eyes.

She cleared her throat.

"Nine...no, seven!"

The sound was crisp and bright, hitting the field with pinpoint accuracy.

Chen He paused for a moment.

"How many are there?"

"Eight! Don't listen to her!" Zheng Kai exclaimed anxiously.

Yang Mi shouted again with a grin.

"Six! You've only kicked six!"

Liu Shishi whispered from the side, "Honey, there are eight..."

"Shh." Yang Mi gestured for her to be quiet, then continued shouting loudly, "Five! You've regressed! Only five!"

Yuan Hong immediately followed, clapping his hands to cheer Yang Mi on.

"Go! Go! Kick another fifty!"

"Get out!" Chen He shouted as he turned around.

The shuttlecock flew over.

He turned around abruptly and reached out to catch it.

We were a step too late.

The shuttlecock flew off, grazing his shoe.

Zheng Kai rushed forward to try and save her.

But the angle of the shuttlecock was too off, and his right leg was raised high, causing him to twist half a circle in the air, and his shoe sole swept away the target.

The shuttlecock landed on the ground.

There was a moment of silence.

"Chen He!"

"Kai Kai!"

The two shouted at the same time, pointing their fingers precisely at each other.

"Why did you turn around just now?!" Zheng Kai glared at Chen He.

"She kept causing trouble until I turned around! Why didn't you catch her?!"

"How am I supposed to catch that from that angle? What kind of crap did you kick?"

"I played really well! You were the one who got distracted!"

"I'm distracted? You're the one who's distracted! You know the force on your foot completely changed when you turned around?!"

Baby stood to the side, holding a shuttlecock in her hand, and blinked.

"Um...should we start over?"

The two of them fell silent at the same time.

He then turned to look at the referee.

The referee, expressionless, raised the counter and reset it to zero.

"Recount."

Zheng Kai felt a throbbing in his temple.

Chen He took a deep breath and took the shuttlecock from Baby's hand.

"Okay, let's try again. I'll send it this time."

He rolled up his sleeves and tossed the shuttlecock in his hand a couple of times.

"Watch closely."

With a flick of his toe, he sent the shuttlecock flying high into the air, where it tumbled twice.

Pretty.

If Zheng Kai catches it.

But the shuttlecock landed too far forward.

Zheng Kai took a big step forward, barely managing to reach it, and then tapped it with the back of his foot, sending the shuttlecock flying to the right.

Chen He instinctively lunged to the right.

He forgot that he was standing on a rough bluestone floor.

Land on your knees first.

Then comes the palm.

Then it's about the whole person.

"puff......"

A standard sliding kneeling catch that lands face-first in the mud.
