Karen’s weapon was a small infusion injector filled with anesthetic, similar to that of a venomous snake. The trainee named ‘White Night’ had quickly fallen asleep under the influence of the anesthetic, and Wu Jin had grabbed his hand, typing out a message on his wrist watch word by word. He cheated a second trainee and grabbed the mask chip of both men all in one go.
Things were smooth until just now, when someone threw a projectile blade at him.
“!!!” Wu Jin, who hadn’t yet had time to fly up into the ceiling completely, was suddenly hit. The pain was beyond the endurance of ordinary people, and he swallowed a muffled moan before disappearing through the ceiling partition.
The person who’d come in was at least at an S-level trainee!
The smell of blood spread out slightly. Inside the dark ceiling compartment, Wu Jin leaned back against the wall and checked his wound while sucking in air.
The S-level trainee’s dagger had gone straight through the alkaline gel and cut a wound beneath his knee.
Wu Jin frowned.
Was it the King of Hearts? Or Wei Yan? It couldn’t be the big boss; the big boss, as a daddy sponsor, would know the rules of the game. It was impossible for him not to know that he’d replaced Karen...
However, no matter who it was beneath the ceiling.
The situation was far more serious than he’d expected.
Adding on the big boss, at least two of the three S-levels hadn’t yet been eliminated, and one of them would stop at nothing to deal with the ghost Karen––
Wu Jin breathed out slowly.
He had the means to resist. In this seventh elimination match, Karen’s identity might give him countless restrictions, but it also came with unlimited advantages.
He wanted to win.
The youth bowed his head and scanned the ’White Night’ mask chip.
Karen’s wrist watch beeped. The sacrifice was accepted. In the next moment, Wu Jin bared his teeth and sucked in a mouthful of cold air! The wound beneath his knee was healed at a speed visible to the naked eye under the powerful genetic medicine.
The bonus from ‘sucking a trainee’s flesh and blood’ went beyond just that.
The sharp blades attached to his fingertips suddenly evolved! The ‘metal nails’ that had anesthetic injectors revealed countless delicate parts, and the nails that originally protruded out could now be retracted automatically. The gel armor over his entire body was rebuilt by the mechanical arms and injected with a newer, stronger, alkaline solvent. The tips of the red high heels suddenly showed new, sharp edges.
The ordinary Little Witch had evolved into a mecha Little Witch!
Wu Jin’s pupils instantly brightened!
There was no straight man who didn’t like machinery. Even in the 21st century that Wu Jin remembered, most straight men would happily choose to drive a gundam if given a choice between ‘driving a gundam’ or ‘getting a confession from his favorite goddess’.
And now, Wu Jin himself was a variation of a mecha gundam.
No matter who was beneath the ceiling partition, he had the power to fight against them.
But now wasn’t the time.
The wrist watch kept beeping, reminding him that there was only 10 minutes before ‘all contestants’ were to assemble at the rehearsal studio. According to the script, beneath the bright lights of the stage, Karen, the Nightingale, and the Queen would perform the death script together with the trainees.
It would be Karen’s big show.
The rain fell heavily like a waterfall.
Under the ceiling, the three remaining trainees were also being urged by their wrist watches.
Except for Wei Shi, the rest of them all had solemn expressions on their faces.
Like a ghost in the night, Karen had once again sucked up two trainees during the rainstorm.
Things were moving in a completely unexpected direction.
The bus to transport the last three trainees had come to a stop outside the door, followed by a limousine that practically screamed that it was for the female lead’s dedicated use.
Inside the training room, the AI director’s expression was pleasant as he took out a brand new pair of red rubber shoes.
“Rehearsal will start immediately. You need to pick a new c-position to pair up with the female lead...”
Wei Shi directly accepted the shoes.
Several talent show live cameras turned to Wei Shi. Zhu Lan, the second top intern, had a cold expression and sharp eyes.
If this was a real talent show, he would be a c-position trainee with absolutely unshakable momentum.
The Zhu Lan at this time was quite different from the Zhu Lan who’d been happily hyping up a CP with Leica one day ago. It was as though some kind of emotional perception device had been cut off.
The man put on the red rubber shoes, his fingertips rubbing lightly over the edge of the knife at his waist. It was as though he was telling Wu Jin that he’d taken over his c-position.
The cameras moved with Wei Shi.
The fan forum suddenly burst out into cheers.
“Brother Zhu is so handsomeeeee––”
“Brother Zhu finally snatched the c-position!”
“Big brother, Leica’s been eliminated. It’s time for you to come back as the demon king of the rap stage!”
The director smiled in satisfaction.
The bus took the remaining three trainees to the studio, and the director finally waved to the new c-position, “Well then, I’m looking forward to your main dance with the female lead.”
The noise of the antique cars was soon masked by the heavy rain.
The second car arrived, and Wu Jin quietly snuck aboard.
The window was covered by the rain. After getting out of the car, Wu Jin picked up several roses from the edge of the window of the studio, crushing the petals and putting them into the pocket of the dress.
At the entrance of the studio, the AI director was holding up an umbrella for the ‘female lead’ Wu Jin.
The ‘girl’ in the white silk stockings and red dress walked into the studio in a domineering manner.
After all, Wu Jin had never learned how to walk gracefully in the red dancing shoes.
The door to the studio was opened by the security guard gentleman.
The floor was covered with a red carpet that led to the dance floor.
The gorgeous ‘girl’ Karen stepped on the red carpet on 8cm heels. The rehearsal stage for <Red Dancing Shoes> was just up ahead.
The exclusive background music for Karen was playing in the distance.
Wu Jin scanned the last player’s mask chip with his wrist watch.
The pupils of the ’young girl’ that had originally been 1/3 bigger than normal people suddenly contracted, the muscle tissue shifting as the pupil size finally returned to normal. At almost the same time, the gel armor on Wu Jin’s back quickly spread out in a pattern that imitated a blue nightingale, like a tattoo that grew crazily under the off-the-shoulder dress. Knees, ankles, and elbows were covered with titanium-level light armor that suddenly extended outwards.
Mecha Little Witch evolution, Super-Mecha Little Witch!
Wu Jin stretched out a hand under the dazzling ceiling lights, curved his fingers, then stretched them out again.
The blade at his fingertips retracted.
He strode to the stage, his fighting spirit high.
He wanted to see which cub had thrown a knife at him! S-level trainee? Could an S-level trainee fight against a Super-Mecha Little Witch?! Could they?!
One wall apart.
On the stage.
Out of the 18 remaining contestants, only three people were standing on the stage for <Red Dancing Shoes>.
Caesar was next door, chasing after Yu Chu with a big knife in the <Snow White> group.
Thin Fire kept wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate Caesar, but Zoe, who was in the same group, blocked him every time.
The <Nightingale> group had the largest number of survivors. Raphael and Wen Lin stood to one side, confronting Jingyi over a distance. Wei Yan was missing. Qin Jinbao seemed to have seen some kind of extremely shocking scene and was in a trance.
In the crowd, the Crosson Show trainees and Stardust Cup trainees were mixed together.
The first dance would begin with <Red Dancing Shoes>.
The director indicated that Wei Shi should walk up to the stage.
The upper ranked trainee walked coldly to the starting position, still wearing Wu Jin’s knife at his waist. In the moment before the female lead stepped through the door, his hand moved to cover the handle of the knife mercilessly.
Outside the door, Wu Jin retracted the blades on his fingers, his arms tensed up in preparation for battle. He was ready to pop out the blades at any time to kill the S-level trainee who’d thrown the dagger.
The small door leading to the stage opened.
The handsome man stood up straight beneath the shining ceiling lights, and the ‘girl’ was wearing a short dress, revealing a snow-white back covered with intricate, dangerous looking tattoos. A pair of beautiful long legs with exquisite lines were covered with a pair of white silk stockings.
The first segment of music for <Red Dancing Shoes> began.
Karen stepped up onto the stage. The man standing beneath the lights couldn’t see their facial features clearly, but the figure outlined by the strong lights seemed a little familiar.
The ‘young girl’ on the stage seemed equally familiar.
The man’s pupils shrank.
Wei Shi was dazed for a full two beats. The callused fingers that had clenched around the handle of the knife when Karen stepped onto the stage loosened during the first section of the dance music, and he extended his right hand to his dance partner.
Wei Shi’s throat moved slightly.
Wu Jin similarly extended a hand out to this c-position male lead.
A moment before they touched, Wu Jin suddenly narrowed his eyes, forming a blade with his left hand as the metal fingertips suddenly shot out crazily. He sliced fiercely at the male lead’s throat––
Wei Shi caught hold of Karen’s wrist in a flash.
Wu Jin’s thoughts abruptly reacted, his arm exerting huge muscle strength even as metal gears rapidly extended and assembled. The arm covered with gel armor struck hard, transparent barbs appearing just as he launched a fierce attack at the male lead! At the same time, the blade at the tip of the red dancing shoes popped out––
Wei Shi allowed no resistance as he pressed down Wu Jin’s little claws.
The dance music continued to play cheerfully.
Wei Shi held the youth’s thin waist and turned nimbly to avoid the blade.
The youth’s skirt fluttered, and the strong light that dazzled the eyes was blocked by the man’s figure. From the bottom up, the man seemed to have the short knife that he’d lost at his waist, two familiar throwing daggers tucked into his clothes, and––
Wei Shi’s face.
Wu Jin: “......”
Wei Shi bowed his head.
His eyes darkened by more than one color gradient, and then an extremely dangerous flame burned and flared up.
Wu Jin: “!!!”
Angry! Although he’d been the one to try to beat up the big boss just now, Wei Shi had thrown the dagger first! Why didn’t he first give an explanation––
Brother Wei, you must be feeling too guilty right now! Why aren’t you looking at the face? Why do you only dare to look at his legs?!
Juurensha: I think WS likes the Super-Mecha Little Witch!
xiin: those legs~
