"Bang"
Before the kick could solidly land on Mr. Green, the Upper Class Person in front of Gu Mian tilted his head and fainted to the ground.
007âs face appeared in front of Mr. Green, holding the Replay Device that had previously been taken by Gu Mian â she had used the thick Replay Device to hit the back of the head of this Upper Class Person.
Another Upper Class Person witnessed the incident and pointed at 007: "What are you doing...?"
His words werenât finished when another "bang" sounded.
The eyewitness also fell, revealing Chu Changge behind him â Chu Changge used a real brick.
It really was the mantis catching the cicada unaware of the oriole behind. Even though the situation was critical, Mr. Green couldnât help but sigh.
Luckily, there were no more witnesses nearby; most of the audience rushed forward, with some already reaching the edge of the Pyramid.
"Gu Mianâs side isnât ready yet. We need to hurry up and stop those Upper Class People." 007, holding the Archive Device, ran towards the stage.
Chu Changge followed behind.
Mr. Green ignored the pain coming from his rear and hurriedly scrambled to his feet, trying to continue running out.
But after just a few steps, he bumped into someone.
Mr. Green took a few steps back, pulled his aching face out from the other personâs abdomen, and looked up to see a pale face looking down at him.
An Upper Class Person, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
"Oh, look what Iâve caught, a little mouse trying to sneak away." The Upper Class Person squinted but didnât kick like the other one, just lifted Mr. Green by the collar and started walking towards the stage.
Mr. Greenâs few ineffective struggles left him disheartened as he watched the stage get closer and closer.
On the other side, Chu Changge and 007 had already reached below the stage. The Upper Class People in front were all climbing up, but they werenât the first; the contestants who were already on stage had climbed up to the top before the audience.
But the lower-class people climbing to the top werenât there to join Gu Mian in attacking the Upper Class People â they wanted to "achieve merit."
"If we capture that rebellious 1118, we will achieve merit!"
"Catch him, hand him over to the Upper Class People!"
The lower-class people at the top of the Pyramid zealously charged at Gu Mian.
By now, most of the tracking devices had gathered around Gu Mian, clustering together as if watching a show, capturing everything around Gu Mian clearly, and displaying the advancing lower-class people on the venueâs circular big screen.
007, still climbing, looked up at the scene and sighed helplessly: "I knew it would be like this."
Last time, when Gu Mian participated in the Circus reality show, he had used remote bombs to blow up most of the Upper Class People in the audience. At that time, there were lower-class people on stage trying to earn merit by grabbing Gu Mian from behind, hoping to hand him over to the Upper Class People for a reward.
And now history was repeating itself.
"Thereâs no hope for the people of this world," Chu Changge also looked up at the scene, "whether itâs the Upper Class or the lower-class."
The frail lower-class people were certainly no match for Gu Mian, and soon they fell to the ground howling, just like the staff.
Everyone rolled on the ground; at this point, there was no distinction between them. The Upper Class People didnât have the strength to scold the lower-class touching them as they rolled next to them, and the lower-class covered their wounds, not paying attention to the Upper Class they lay on.
"Thatâs more like it." Gu Mian, satisfied, looked at this scene of harmony and friendship. "Everyone should be this close-knit and undivided."
Several tracking devices whirled above the crowd, broadcasting the intimate scene in real-time on television screens worldwide, so everyone could sing praises for this moment of peace.
Having made significant contributions to the peaceful development between the Upper Class People and the lower-class, Gu Mian emotionally resumed his work, drawing on the floor.
Itâs almost done. After finishing this last drawing, the door can be completely removed.
He thought and wielded the electric saw in his hand even more vigorously.
Below, 007 had climbed halfway up the Pyramid. Along the way, she stealthily grabbed and pulled several Upper Class People in front of her down.
Some of the Upper Class People had already reached the top, but with Gu Mian armed, 007 wasnât too worried about his safety.
As expected, the newly arrived Upper Class People emitted only a few screams before falling silent.
Listening to the screams, 007 quickly climbed up.
As she reached the top of the Pyramid, 007 heard something hitting the ground. Gu Mian had finally finished opening the door on the floor, and he lifted the "door" carved out of the floor and tossed it aside.
Upon hearing the sound behind her, Gu Mian expertly picked up the saw and turned to look back.
"Itâs us." Chu Changge had also climbed up, speaking to Gu Mian, who was holding the saw.
Gu Mian put away the electric saw: "I thought another nuisance had climbed up."
looked back down, seeing some of the Upper Class People she had pulled down still stubbornly climbing up, but the top was already crowded, with no room for more bodies.
She carefully navigated around the people on the ground, some of whose faces were already covered in blood, indistinguishable as either Upper Class or lower-class.
"Is he inside?" 007 asked, looking at the square hole Gu Mian had carved out.
Inside, it was pitch black.
"Click." Chu Changge turned on a flashlight.
The flashlightâs beam illuminated the inside of the stage, and the three finally saw what was inside.
A person was tightly bound to a thick wooden stake, with tape sealing his mouth tightly.
Perhaps sensing the light above, the person looked up.
Gu Mian and the others had all used disguise tools to alter their appearances, so Lu Yi didnât recognize them and wore a puzzled expression.
"Is it him?" 007 asked.
Gu Mian looked at the familiar face: "Itâs him."
"Wait!" Teacher Slaughter, who had been seated among the crowd, finally reacted and rushed over, "Youâre here to rescue this criminal! I wonât allow you to take him away!"
The chaos caused by his hosted variety show was already hard enough to manage. If these people took the criminal away... he might be the one facing judgment next!
"You two are both Upper Class People; why are you helping this lower-class person rescue that criminal underneath? Help me catch this lower-class person, and there will be plenty of rewards for you." Teacher Slaughter, knowing he alone couldnât deal with Gu Mian, played the emotional card with Chu Changge and 007.
"Unfortunately." Chu Changge took out an Upper Class Person ID card, letting go and allowing it to drift lightly to the ground as his true face emerged, "Iâm not an Upper Class Person."
Teacher Slaughterâs eyes widened, unable to believe what he saw.
How could this be?
What was that card? How could it disguise a lowly lower-class person as an Upper Class Person? It felt like his mind had been punched.
Next to him, 007 did the same, revealing her true appearance.
Teacher Slaughter stood there dumbfounded, in disbelief at the transformation happening right in front of him.
Then something even more shocking occurred.
The lower-class person holding the saw also pulled out a card and discarded it, tearing off a piece of his beard and transforming right before his eyes.
As the beard was pulled off, the fog in Teacher Slaughterâs mind cleared up, and he finally remembered the name of this person.
"No.9! Itâs you!" Teacher Slaughter didnât know Gu Mianâs real name, only knowing his code name in the Slaughter Game was "No.9."
