Chapter 94: Chapter 94 It Gets Brain-Burning Again

The judging panel discussed for a while and finally decided to let the remaining two "female" guests go onstage as the second group.

Hearing the host calling out his alias, Wu Mu perked up and stood up.

It was finally his turn to go on.

Not goofing off and having to pretend to be seriously watching the show was undoubtedly boring.

He was almost nodding off.

The detective guest sitting opposite him also stood up, nodded to him in greeting, and then they walked out together.

They approached the front stage.

Zhao Xue smiled and asked, "Which of the two guests would like to go onstage first?"

The order in which contestants go onstage can be decided amongst themselves, or they can play little games like rock-paper-scissors to determine it.

Wu Mu had also intended to decide by playing rock-paper-scissors, but to his surprise, the detective guest took the initiative and said, "I’ll go first."

Huh, quite confident in your abilities, aren’t you?

Wu Mu was slightly surprised. With just two contestants, there wouldn’t be a huge advantage in going first or second, but if one performed significantly worse, then the one who went first could end up like Xu Zhiwen from the previous episode, completely overshadowed.

Since the detective wanted to go first, Wu Mu had no objections and nodded in agreement.

The detective walked to the center of the stage.

Chen Jian looked at her, curious, and asked, "Does your outfit have any special meaning?"

The detective laughed and replied, "There’s no special meaning really, I just like reading various detective novels."

Like reading detective novels?

The judges started discussing, trying to recall which celebrity had such a hobby.

But there were no leads; they had never heard of any celebrity revealing such a hobby.

Cai Wanhai joined in the fun, "Since you like reading detective novels, you must be very observant, right? So, can you tell what I’m holding in my hand right now?"

He held up his fist, asking the guest onstage.

It was just for effect; he didn’t actually expect the guest onstage to answer correctly.

But to their surprise...

The detective laughed and said, "It’s the cufflink from Teacher Cai Wanhai’s sleeve; you just slipped it into your hand when you tucked your hands behind your back."

Wow!

That’s some sharp observation.

Cai Wanhai was shocked; he sat on the far right and his subtle movements to hide something behind his hands were hardly noticeable. He truly did not expect the guest to notice it.

The other guests also got excited, quickly following Cai Wanhai’s lead and secretly hiding small items, only to be surprised when the guest onstage noticed every one.

As everyone was in awe, Chen Jian challenged her, "Since you’re so observant, can you tell which of the six guests this episode is the Mechanical Warrior from the last episode?"

This question was still for effect; they didn’t really expect an answer.

But...

The detective guest laughed and nodded again, "I know."

Huh?

Huh?

The judges were definitely perked up, "Who? Who is it?"

Standing at the side, Wu Mu was also stunned, Ah, have I been revealed?

Amidst everyone’s surprised and curious gazes, the detective in the center of the stage spread her hands, "It’s me."

What?

Not only were the judges bewildered.

Even Wu Mu was confused.

If she’s the Mechanical Warrior, then who am I?

No, it’s like a real game of Werewolf, with shifting identities?

The guessing panel was momentarily flummoxed before they realized what was happening. Zhao Xue shook her head, "You don’t seem like the Mechanical Warrior."

The detective was quite puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

"You don’t have that certain aura the Mechanical Warrior had last time," Zhao Xue explained.

Yue Li also nodded, "You seem more serious and earnest."

She pointed at the detective guest’s posture, "Take the way you’re standing right now, for example. Your whole person is very upright, in a serious and earnest manner. Whereas the Mechanical Warrior from last time had a more relaxed and casual air about him; even though he also stood tall, his attitude was lax, a more leisurely posture."

No way, you guys pay attention to such details?

Wu Mu mumbled to himself, secretly adjusting his own posture.

"Is that so?" the detective laughed a little and insisted, "But I really am the Mechanical Warrior, and if you don’t believe me, I can prove it to you."

How is he going to prove that?

Everyone was curious and wondering when the detective on stage spoke up:

"I actually wanted to say this when I was among the singer-songwriters, but that time..."

Damn!

The guessing panel was instantly dumbfounded, staring at the detective guest.

This person had just repeated the phrase said by the previous Mechanical Warrior, but more importantly, she turned off the voice modulator!

They all heard her real voice, which was a relatively soft female voice.

What’s happening?

Was this the real Mechanical Warrior changing their voice, or was it another guest messing with effects to confuse them?

Everyone undoubtedly felt their brains overheating again.

The detective on stage continued, laughing in her natural voice towards the audience, "Director, your voice modulator is broken again."

The live director sitting below had a strange expression on his face. Can you guys not play like this? If you keep this up, our voice modulators will really break.

Having learned from the experience of the last episode, he didn’t actually go up on stage to check this time.

But the odd feeling in his heart didn’t diminish at all, because he knew the identity of the person on stage; she wasn’t Wu Mu.

But...

After frying their brains, the guessing panel’s first reaction was still that it didn’t seem right, and the person more likely was a previous guest trying to distract them.

But someone spotted something off.

Liang Jun hesitated a bit before asking, "Isn’t that Mo Mo’s voice?"

Huh?

After a moment of confusion, Cai Wanhai exclaimed in shock, "It really is Mo Mo’s voice!"

Mo Mo’s voice was highly recognizable and coupled with her strong popularity. After overcoming their initial surprise, everyone quickly realized it.

...Sure enough, things started to get mind-bending again.

If it were just an ordinary singer, everyone would definitely lean toward the idea of someone messing with the effects to confuse them.

But if it was Mo Mo’s voice, that completely changed the situation.

After all, Mo Mo was such a big name and had just finished recording the singer-songwriter show, so her immediate participation in their program was undoubtedly strange.

And considering the previous Mechanical Warrior’s terrible impersonation of the singing king...

Everyone really couldn’t get a handle on it.

Was it possible that the real Mechanical Warrior was indeed playing a psychological game with them, throwing down the gauntlet to see who could outwit whom?

Uh oh, I’ve become a stand-in!

Mo Mo, you’ve started to play dirty.

Standing at the side, Wu Mu’s expression grew more ambiguous. He hadn’t expected someone to impersonate his identity, especially not someone like Mo Mo.

He had already figured out that the person on stage was really Mo Mo, showing up on their show.

And to think of his own previous plan to mimic Mo Mo’s voice while singing...

Wu Mu’s expression grew ever more ambiguous.

Planning a little identity swap, are we?
