Entertainment Life With A Camera

Chapter 127:

Chapter 127

Idol Game Olympics. (3)

Before the next game started, the cast members moved to another stadium. It was the same stadium where the opening ceremony was held, but now there were computers installed on the stage.

“This is a special stage prepared for the game we are going to play!”

“It’s called the ‘social distancing’ seat!”

The computer desks were lined up in a row, with a lot of space between each person. The cast members sat in the audience seats.

“Control is important, but talk is also more than half of the game, so many of you applied for it!”

“So we’re going to randomly pick the participants from the front of you! Please spin the roulette!”

Behind the stage, on the LED screen, the names of the cast members who applied for ‘Space Mafia’ flashed by quickly.

“The first one is… Pluto’s Park Hwi-chan!”

It was the same Pluto who had appeared with him in ‘Legend Together’.

“I didn’t know Pluto was here too.”

“I haven’t seen him on music shows.”

“By the way, do you think we’ll get picked? I hope we do.”

Ian and Jo Tae-woong whispered to each other. Pluto had been inactive since his group dating scandal with Pinky Lady.

[He flew to Japan after the scandal and waited until it died down. I can see it clearly.]

Then, Shy Girls’ Moon Joo-sol, MyKit’s Park Jae-hyung, and Eos’ Lim Yui were picked.

“Fifth, Awi’s Park Jin-hyuk!”

“Oh, it’s me.”

“Ah, we’re screwed.”

Park Jin-hyuk snapped at Kim Hyun’s words.

“Why? I can do well too!”

“Sixth, another one from the same team! Awi’s Lee Joo-hyuk!”

“I feel relieved if it’s Joo-hyuk hyung.”

Park Jin-hyuk made a resentful face at Kim Hyun’s quick change of attitude.

“You don’t have to be good, hyung. You just have to be funny.”

“That’s right. You’re fun, so it’s okay.”

“You guys already have an image of me being bad at games in your minds.”

Ian and Kim Joo-young cheered up Park Jin-hyuk.

The remaining members were Miracle’s Kim Seung-hyun, A1S’s Min Chang-jo and Yeon Jun-seo, and Jasper’s Min Gyu-jin.

“Good luck, hyungs.”

“Win!”

The participants went up to the stage one by one and took their seats. The cast members in the audience put on earphones that were prepared on their seats. They were to listen to the hosts’ commentary, who were in a separate studio.

“Alright, let’s start ‘Space Mafia’!”

“The person with the most points as a mafia or a citizen will be the final winner!”

‘Space Mafia’ was a space mafia game where two out of ten people were mafia. The citizens had to complete their missions before they were all killed by the mafia, and they could also perform missions as ghosts after they died.

“The cast members can communicate freely with their headsets! But you have to turn off your mic when it’s discussion time or when you become a ghost.”

“Instead, those who are ghosts can chat.”

The mafia could activate other devices that would interfere with the mission completion besides killing citizens. They could turn off the lights, close doors suddenly, and so on.

The citizens had to report when they found a corpse killed by the mafia, and as soon as they reported, a discussion session would begin. Then, they had to deduce and vote out the mafia.

“We still don’t know who the mafia is.”

“They’re all working hard on their missions.”

The characters wearing spacesuits ran around busily.

As Shy Girls’ Moon Joo-sol passed through a corridor, Jasper’s Min Gyu-jin stabbed her character. Moon Joo-sol covered her mouth with both hands.

Min Gyu-jin escaped through a hole in the wall. He couldn’t kill anyone else right away because he had a kill cooldown.

At that moment, Pluto’s Park Hwi-chan found Moon Joo-sol’s corpse and pressed the report button.

“Who reported? Was it Hwi-chan?”

“Yes.”

“Where did you find it?”

Lee Joo-hyuk led the discussion with his gentle tone.

-He’s smooth at hosting

-He’s like a leader of a mafia addict group lol

-His voice is totally like a kindergarten teacher lol

“You know the corridor that leads to the infirmary? I found it on the right side there.”

“Where were you all? I’ll start first. I was in the cafeteria with Chang-jo and Yui, right?”

“Yes. We three were doing our mission there.”

The other participants gave their alibis. They didn’t see the murder scene or the use of the hole in the wall. Nothing was certain yet.

“The discussion time is almost over, should we skip the vote for now?”

“Yeah.”

“There’s nothing out yet.”

As the others were turning off their microphones one by one, Park Jin-hyuk suddenly spoke.

“I have a feeling that Jasper’s Min Kyu-jin is the mafia.”

Min Kyu-jin opened his mouth silently. Everyone was looking at the monitor, and there was a partition to prepare for any possible situation, so the only ones who could see his expression were the other singers sitting in the audience.

“Oh, Jin-hyuk hyung. You’re not having a bad intuition today?”

“He’s got a good sense today.”

“But what’s your basis for suspecting him?”

“I don’t know.”

Ian and Kim Hyun-do looked at the direction of the game with interest.

“Wow, he’s got a great sense. Where is he?”

Kim Seung-hyun of Miracle was busy looking for someone.

“He’s here.”

Kim Seung-hyun smiled slyly. He stabbed Park Jin-hyuk’s character who was doing a mission to fix the circuit. Kim Seung-hyun quickly left the place.

It was advantageous for the mafia to have the body discovered as late as possible. But Park Jin-hyuk’s body was found almost right after he died.

“I found him inside the lab. But I think I saw someone running away!”

As soon as the discussion started, Yeon Jun-seo of A1S spoke quickly.

“Wait a minute, before we brief our locations, didn’t Jin-hyuk suspect Kyu-jin earlier? But Jin-hyuk is dead now?”

“Huh? That’s right?”

Lim Yoo-i of EOS widened her eyes. The announcer and the caster raised their voices.

“Ah! Ju-hyuk is amazing! He’s leading the discussion from the start! Isn’t Ju-hyuk the leader again? He’s showing his leadership here!”

“Plus, if he gives such trust at first, he might be able to avoid being caught even if he becomes the mafia later!”

The discussion time was getting shorter, and if they skipped this turn again, it would be disadvantageous for the citizens later. Ju-hyuk made a decision.

“Then shall we vote for Kyu-jin first?”

“Hold on! Ju-hyuk, aren’t you deciding too fast? It’s not me. Don’t you think Ju-hyuk is more suspicious for pushing me like this?”

“Then vote for Kyu-jin, and if he’s not the mafia, press the emergency call button and vote for me.”

The kindergarten teacher rhetoric of Ju-hyuk worked well, and the cast voted for Min Kyu-jin without doubt.

“Ah! No!”

Min Kyu-jin’s character was ejected out of the spaceship.

<Min Kyu-jin was the mafia.>

“As expected, our Ju-hyuk hyung.”

“You’re doing so well?”

Park Seo-dam and Kim Joo-young laughed. Min Kyu-jin left so pitifully, and it was time for the mafia to strike again.

“I went too far. I’ll avoid other people.”

Ju-hyuk said while looking at the camera that was filming him.

“Ah, why did I do that? I killed him so obviously?”

Kim Seung-hyun of Miracle also moved cautiously. He had hastily killed Park Jin-hyuk because he felt threatened.

“Ju-hyuk is the most dangerous. I have to kill him first… But I can’t see him?”

Kim Seung-hyun sabotaged. He turned off the gravity device inside the spaceship. The characters floated around and it was hard to control their movements.

“Here… Seung-hyun stabs Chang-jo!”

“He stabbed him and reported right away!”

“He must be thinking of securing an alibi and playing politics at the same time!”

As soon as the microphone turned on, Kim Seung-hyun briefed his location.

“Here, in front of the electrical room.”

“Really? How about the others’ routes? I was going from the medical room to the control room to fix the gravity device.”

“I was also going from the cafeteria to the medical room. Someone was following behind me?”

“That was me.”

Ju-hyuk opened the map and collected their routes. He narrowed his eyes and thought.

“The ones who were close to Chang-jo were… Seung-hyun and Jae-hyung…”

“Couldn’t he have killed him and reported himself?”

“That’s possible too? Right. I didn’t think of that.”

Lim Yoo-i giggled at Ju-hyuk’s answer. Kim Seung-hyun hardened his expression.

-Mafia lost

-Seung-hyun!! Just confess!!!

Kim Seung-hyun watched the situation for now. He thought he would be suspected if he talked too much here. Park Jae-hyung, who was picked as another suspect, raised his voice in frustration.

“Hyung, everyone, it’s not me! You’ll regret it if you vote for me!”

“Hmm… I don’t think it’s Jae-hyung.”

“Hyung! You’re the only one I can trust!”

Park Jae-hyung cheered at Ju-hyuk’s words. Park Hwi-chan of Pluto asked.

“Why?”

“Jae-hyung becomes quiet when he’s a mafia, right? You can tell by his voice. But when he’s a citizen, he’s loud.”

“Oh… You two have played a lot of mafia, haven’t you?”

Park Hwi-chan’s words implied something. It was as if he was saying, ‘You guys, did you only play mafia after every meal?’.

-Is this a friendship deduction?

-Why? Why them? Are they close?

The announcer and the caster explained for the viewers who didn’t know.

“Oh, this is a friendship deduction! Aren’t MyKit and Awi members close to each other?”

“Plus, they are the pioneers of the mafia game during the Arimpyeong Olympics!”

“That’s right. They became friends through the mafia game! They are famous as the ‘mafia game addicts’ in the entertainment industry!”

Ian looked at the members with a puzzled face. The other members also widened their eyes.

“Did we do that?”

“I guess so.”

“How much did we play mafia without a break…”

Kim Hyun sighed as the camera zoomed in on the Awi members sitting in the audience. They smiled awkwardly.

“Then, shall we vote for Seung-hyun? Seung-hyun, do you have anything to say?”

“Everyone, you will regret it if you vote for me.”

Kim Seung-hyun pretended to sob. But the other participants had no mercy. They all voted for Kim Seung-hyun.

<Kim Seung-hyun was a mafia.>

<The citizens won.>

“Yes! The first round is a victory for the citizens! The citizens get one point first!”

“Ju-hyuk’s smooth hosting was impressive! The next mafia should be careful!”

Lee Ju-hyuk looked at the camera with a confident expression. His face filled the screen as the Awi members clapped and cheered.

There was some time left before the next round started. As soon as the first round ended, Lee Ju-hyuk turned on his mic.

“Hey Jin-hyuk, how did you know that Kyu-jin was a mafia?”

“Yeah! How did you know? I was really sneaky!”

Min Kyu-jin also raised his voice, curious. Park Jin-hyuk scratched his head.

How should he explain this? He just said he was a mafia because he looked like one. He said with a laugh.

“Well… Isn’t it weird if I say I just suspected him?”

“Yes, it’s very weird.”

“Kyu-jin’s movement was like a mafia movement.”

-Huh?

-What is a mafia movement?

-You have good intuitionㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The participants except Park Jin-hyuk made doubtful noises and then the mic was turned off. The second round started right away.

As they scattered to do their missions, four of them gathered and entered the control room.

“Jae-hyung… Let’s go.”

Lee Ju-hyuk signaled to Park Jae-hyung by going back and forth near him. Park Jae-hyung said in a low voice.

“Hyung, now.”

As soon as Park Jae-hyung stabbed Pluto’s Park Hwi-chan, Lee Ju-hyuk stabbed Aiwons’ Min Chang-jo.

Lee Ju-hyuk and Park Jae-hyung escaped through the hole.

“Double kill! A double kill has occurred!”

“That was very clean!”

-?

-Wowㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-So thrilling

-Crazy
