The Faceless Girl leaned in close, eyes flicking over her with curious appraisal.
“What a perfectly intact face. Just imagine how beautiful it would look on mine?”
In just two short sentences, Su Yan was suddenly plunged back into a horror movie nightmare.
She finally understood what Number 6 must have felt back then.
That thing kept winding around her like a snake.
Even a face as beautiful as a celestial fairy’s would make one uncomfortable like this.
And this was a bizarre face with absolutely nothing on it.
Without paying attention, the Faceless Girl slipped behind Su Yan.
She could clearly feel the warmth radiating from this creature behind her.
Swallowing hard, Su Yan felt goosebumps erupting all over her body as if they were about to fall off.
Suddenly, a bald, shiny head appeared right in front of Su Yan’s eyes!
Where did this bald head come from?
It was so smooth and glossy, gleaming brightly.
Wait—where did the bald head come from?
Su Yan’s mind clicked, and she suddenly realized—this was the Faceless Girl’s face!
“Pfft!”
Clean up.
The Faceless Girl looked at Su Yan, who had been stiff with fear just moments ago but suddenly burst out laughing.
The smile looked uncontrollable.
She glanced at Su Yan in disbelief, then down at herself.
Since when had she been this funny?
Ever since Su Yan had pictured the Faceless Girl’s face as a shiny bald head, all her fear evaporated.
The innocent little girl who used to tremble at the sight of the Faceless Girl was gone. What lived now was Niu Hulu Su Yan!
“Sorry, sorry, hahaha, I totally broke the rules. I’m going back, I’m going back.”
Su Yan laughed and boldly returned to the starting point.
“What? What’s going on?”
“Why did she suddenly start laughing?”
“Am I the only one who doesn’t get her joke?”
“Not sure about the rest, but her laugh changed the atmosphere from 100% horror to 50% silly + 50% scary.”
Faceless Girl: Am I really that funny? So offended.jpg
“Don’t know why she’s laughing, but I’m already starting to laugh too.”
On the scene, the Faceless Girl stared at Su Yan’s back, mouth opening slightly before finally giving in and asking the question everyone was thinking: “Hey! What are you laughing at?”
Su Yan turned around and thought for a moment before deciding to spare the Faceless Girl’s feelings.
“You’d better say you don’t know.”
The Faceless Girl’s curiosity was successfully piqued.
She coaxed and threatened: “If you tell me what you’re laughing at, I promise there won’t be any obstacles on your track for at least a minute. But if you don’t tell me…”
The sentence was unfinished, but the implication was clear.
If Su Yan didn’t reveal the secret, the path ahead would become very twisted.
Su Yan smiled.
“You can fool others, but why try to fool someone smart like me? There can only be one obstacle on a track in a short time, right?”
She had noticed earlier that each track only had one obstacle.
The Faceless Girl’s threat was to make the obstacle on Su Yan’s path more dangerous, but never to have multiple.
So Su Yan boldly guessed that only one obstacle could appear per track in a short time.
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
Number 4 couldn’t help but ask, “What? Are you serious? So as long as we survive one danger, the rest of the time should be smooth sailing?”
Su Yan nodded, staring at the Faceless Girl’s darkening face across from her. “
You see my mouth? Whenever I open it, it’s something you don’t want to hear. Do you still want to know what I was laughing at?”
Faceless Girl: Honestly, she’s given up.
She never expected that this seemingly ordinary yellow-haired girl would so quickly figure out one of her secrets.
Such keen observation!
But before she could admit defeat, the voice of the production team rang in her ears: “Ask! The audience is really curious about what she’s laughing at. This could be a program highlight!”
Faceless Girl: Face distorted. jpg
“I still insist on knowing why you’re laughing. If you tell me, I’ll make your path easy later, okay? Otherwise, I’ll make you experience hell difficulty.”
Su Yan raised an eyebrow, surprised this one was so stubborn. She nodded, deciding to oblige: “I just suddenly thought you look like a bald head.”
See?
No one reacted immediately, including the Faceless Girl, who looked genuinely puzzled. “I have such thick hair, and you can’t see it?”
Su Yan stood with her hands behind her back, silent and composed.
A few seconds later, Number One suddenly burst out laughing: “That’s hilarious!”
Everyone gradually caught on. Looking at the Faceless Girl’s face, something just didn’t add up.
“Hahahahaha, are you even human?”
“I’m done for, I can’t go back now!”
“This is 100% pure silliness now.”
“Hahaha, spare the giant panda some dignity!”
“This woman is toxic!”
All the guests in the arena understood Su Yan’s meaning and bent over laughing.
The venue was filled with joyful laughter, except for the Faceless Girl, who still didn’t get the joke because she couldn’t see her own face.
Seeing everyone laughing without her, the Faceless Girl angrily said, “At least explain it to me first! What are you laughing at?”
The girl who had been terrified of her, Number 4, kindly explained, “Don’t you… think your face looks a lot like the back of your head?”
She was so angry she was speechless.
How dare these hateful people compare her beautiful face to the back of her head—such an illogical and outrageous analogy!
“Shut up!”
The Faceless Girl yanked off her wig, revealing a truly shiny bald scalp.
“Look closely! This is the real bald head! My face and this? They’re nothing alike!”
A moment of silence fell, as if the air had frozen.
Holding the wig in one hand and pointing at her forehead with the other, she turned into a living statue.
After a long silence, uproarious laughter exploded.
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
“I’m literally dying laughing!”
“Hahahaha, it really is a bald head!”
“Laughing with sympathy for the Faceless Girl for one second, hahahaha.”
“‘Yan Mirror’: The Great Prophet”
“‘Yan Mirror’: Is my identity as a prophet about to be revealed?”
“Got it. We’ll take her down tonight.”
“Hahahaha, I’ll never be able to look the Faceless Girl in the eye again.”
“Hahahahahahahaha!”
After the Faceless Girl’s angry outburst, Su Yan was completely baffled by her bizarre reaction.
Did the Faceless Girl’s head really just look like a meatball with nothing on it?
She couldn’t help but wonder: if the Faceless Girl could wear a wig to put something on her head, why not just wear a mask and be done with it?
Even a semi-permanent face would do!
“Ah!”
As everyone laughed happily, the Faceless Girl suddenly screamed, using her wig to cover her face, and quickly left the scene, disappearing from everyone’s sight.
Su Yan thought the laughter had run its course and stopped first.
Looking at where the Faceless Girl had disappeared, she helplessly shrugged.
“Can’t blame me, right? She kept asking.”
Who would blame her for such a hilarious scene?
“Not your fault, not your fault.”
“Ahahaha, if there’s another scene like this, bring it on!”
“How can it be your fault? It’s the Faceless Girl’s fragile psyche that’s to blame. (doge)”
“The Faceless Girl’s leaving now?”
“Honestly, I don’t think she’s coming back.”
Faceless Girl: This crappy game has broken my heart.
“‘Confucian Merchant’ rarely laughs so heartily; he walked over to Su Yan with a smile, placing a hand on her shoulder, affirming: “Although it’s probably not going to work, your approach to the challenge is worth promoting.”
Number 4 happily ran over.
“You’re amazing! You actually chased the host away! Does that mean we pass the level directly?”
The remaining Number 1 guest gathered around and gave Su Yan a thumbs up.
“So ruthless, I like it.”
Su Yan: Innocent.jpg
Honestly, she really didn’t do it on purpose!
She had already decided to let the Faceless Girl off and keep quiet.
But since the Faceless Girl kept pestering her with questions and tempting her with benefits, she reluctantly told the truth!
When the other party couldn’t take the blow and left, whose fault was that? Certainly not hers.
This was the classic case of curiosity killing the cat. Why ask so many questions if you don’t want trouble?
Clearing her throat, Su Yan, experienced from previous talks with the production team, looked up to the sky confidently: “So what now? The host is gone. Can we just touch that wooden post to pass?”
Production Team:
They didn’t expect this!
A few backstage staff stared at Su Yan on the screen with mixed feelings of love and hate, sighing helplessly.
Su Yan definitely gave the show a new talking point, so the ratings wouldn’t be a problem this time.
But with the host gone, it was indeed a problem.
The game was built around the Faceless Girl as host.
Now that the core of the game had fled, the game couldn’t proceed.
However, if they simply let the contestants pass, the production team wouldn’t accept it.
They needed to ensure this comedy remained just a comedy, not a production accident.
If it turned into an accident, their reputation would be ruined.
The director’s face was full of complicated emotions, unsure whether to regret his insistence on having the Faceless Girl dig too deep with the contestants.
Now that she had run off, he shared some responsibility.
But the show’s effect was undeniable—it was close to what he had hoped for.
If the Faceless Girl hadn’t gotten so upset at the end and ruined things, none of this would have happened.
So, it was the Faceless Girl’s fault! The director comforted himself, nodded in satisfaction, and called for everyone to find a new host.
One with a similar flair to the Faceless Girl.
For now, without a host, the site still needed someone to control the atmosphere.
The production team had already decided on that person—it was you: Su Yan!
