Huan Xiao was not fooled by the little girl's words. She said:
"Of course it's according to the rules of the game. Why should we listen to a host or a toy?"
The little girl Gui's question was obviously testing Huan Xiao.
Since they are ghosts, they will definitely not listen to humans and will even fight against humans. But the little girl ghost deliberately asked Huan Xiao whether he should listen to humans or the host. Doesn't this mean he doubts that Huan Xiao is a human?
After receiving Huan Xiao's answer, the little girl laughed like a ghost, and her ugly laughter with damaged vocal cords rang out on the field.
The little girl ghost held the half-rotted puppy corpse in her arms in front of Huanxiao and asked:
"Do you think it looks good?"
"It doesn't look good, take it away." Huanxiao replied without hesitation.
When the little girl saw this, her face was full of disappointment, and she took the puppy's body back into her arms:
"It's so pathetic, dogs are unloved."
Huanxiao ignored it. She didn't need to care about this kind of temptation.
On stage.
No. 8 saw the judges whispering and thought things were turning around, so he continued chattering:
"Judges, you are the most powerful beings! Pumpkinhead is not worthy of being the host at all! Please vote Pumpkinhead down. Wouldn't it be more interesting for you to be the host?"
Huan Xiao, who was sitting at the judges' table, knew what No. 8 was planning as soon as he heard it.
He was planning to drive a wedge between the ghosts and monsters. First remove the pumpkin head, and then let the six judges be wary of each other due to the struggle for sovereignty, so there is no intention to torture the players.
...Others felt worried when they saw No. 8 actually daring to sow discord in front of the ghosts, but at the same time their eyes shone with admiration for No. 8's courage.
I didn't expect No. 8 to be so eloquent. It seems that they have great hope of survival!
Just when everyone thought the ghosts would start fighting among themselves, they saw Pumpkinhead pick up the skull microphone and said passionately to the audience:
"Viewers, what do you think of Toy No. 8?"
Just listen, the dark auditorium is screaming:
"Kill him! Kill him!"
Hearing the audience's words, No. 8's face instantly turned pale.
He shouted in fear:
"What do you know! You just started making noise after being incited by the host. That's not how variety shows work! We should listen to the judges' judgment!"
However, the shouts from the audience did not subside, but became even louder.
At this time, Pumpkinhead turned around and asked the judges:
"Dear judges, since Toy No. 8 has raised an objection, do we need to hold a vote for his suggestion?"
The long-haired ghost said grimly:
"Let him die!"
The little girl ghost held up the puppy body and played with it, her mouth curled up:
"No, I don't want to listen to toys."
The speeches this time were in order. It was Huan Xiao’s turn. She said:
"I won't vote." Whatever she voted for, she had no intention of being the savior.
The bandage ghost shook its head and said firmly:
"Toys have no say."
The headless ghost held its head, waited for a long time, and said:
“Why vote on toys?”
The last judge, the demon, said:
"Jiejiejie toys can also be clever. I hate smart toys."
At this point, all judges voted unanimously negative.
Seeing this scene, Pumpkinhead seemed to have seen the expected result. It laughed and pointed the skull microphone in its hand at No. 8 and screamed:
"Toy No. 8 violates the Toy Code and will be destroyed now!"
The audience burst into laughter:
"Destroy! Destroy! Destroy No. 8!"
All the ghosts and ghosts raised their hands and cheered, going crazy over the death of another toy.
Standing on the stage, No. 8 felt a chill in his heart, and even his breathing was filled with a stinging coldness.
He said loudly in disbelief:
"No, you haven't asked me a question yet. You are not qualified to kill me now! You are venting your anger on me, which is not fair at all!"
However, Pumpkin Head approached No. 8 and asked sharply:
"Excuse me, are you a ghost?"
"...I, I am and I am not." No. 8 swallowed nervously, his legs shaking.
He felt that since it was wrong to answer "yes" or "no", then he would answer vaguely. This must be the right answer!
However, he only saw a flash of cold light in Pumpkin Head's hand, and then completely lost consciousness...
No. 8's head fell to the ground, and the audience cheered again.
At this moment, the boy No. 5 only felt a chill creeping up his spine and onto the back of his neck, and the pumpkin-headed eyes were staring at him as if they were real.
Although No. 5 prayed countless times in his heart to make Pumpkinhead ignore his existence, Pumpkinhead still stood in front of him.
Just listening, Pumpkinhead asked a question that no one has answered correctly so far:
"Excuse me, are you a ghost?"
No. 5 didn't dare to grind, he was afraid that Pumpkin Head's neck would be separated from his body with a shake of his hand.
So, he replied without thinking:
"If you think I am, I am. If you say I am not, I am not."
After answering, No. 5 realized what he had said. But there is nothing we can do now, no matter what, it is death, so be it!
But unexpectedly, a turning point came.
Pumpkinhead actually didn't take action against No. 5, but walked past No. 5 and asked the same question to No. 6.
Seeing this situation, No. 5 just felt that he had saved his life in an instant, and his heart was beating faster and faster.
He actually got the answer right!
He didn't expect that his life's luck would be used in this place. After touching his neck and finding smooth and clean skin, No. 5 confirmed that he had really survived.
With the beginning of No. 5, the smiles on the faces of the remaining people couldn't stop.
No. 6 followed the same pattern and successfully passed Pumpkin Head's questions.
However, just when they thought everyone else could pass, they saw Pumpkin Head kill No. 13.
Now, the people behind started to panic again.
"Why did No. 13 die? His answer was obviously the correct answer, and nothing happened to the people in front of him!"
"Could it be that Pumpkinhead couldn't see that too many of us survived, so he deliberately killed people?"
"So insidious, ghosts really have no humanity!"
"It can't be a random killing. The host needs to abide by the rules. There must be some clues that we have missed. We must quickly find out the differences between No. 13 and the survivors!"
Players and native people work together to avoid any doubts.
"Is it because No. 13 has his hair tied? The only person in front of him is No. 13."
People in the crowd who had their hair tied up silently let their hair down and combed it neatly with their hands.
"Is it possible that he is wearing a coat? No one alive in front is wearing a coat!"
Everyone in the crowd who wore coats took off their coats.
"Maybe he couldn't speak clearly. Maybe the Pumpkinhead host didn't hear what he said clearly!"
There were voices speaking quietly in the crowd.
"...Look, there are blood stains on No. 13's body. Is it because of blood?"
"Can't it be stained with blood? Let's pay more attention to it later."
Hearing this, the people in the crowd, whose hair, clothes, and skin were all stained with blood, fell into despair.
