Standing on the stage, No. 11 felt the gazes coming from all directions, and his hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably.
He spoke tremblingly:
"Once upon a time... there was a person, he..."
It's over, nothing can come to mind, he can't think of a story!
What should I do? Is he going to score 0 points?
No, think about it again. No. 11 tried hard to remember. Looking at the one-minute countdown, he only remembered that Judge 06 just said that he likes powerful ghosts.
But what does it mean to be powerful? For ghosts, does killing more people count as powerful?
When No. 11 saw the countdown with only forty seconds left, he stammered:
"Once upon a time, there was a ghost. It, it could kill living people and take off people's...skin to disguise itself as a living person.
And...and! Every time it kills a person, it becomes stronger, it has no weaknesses! ...It has only one intention of killing, and every living person it sees will be killed by it...and..."
No. 11 could no longer be numbered, but he saw that the countdown was about to reach zero, so he stopped making it.
He thought the ghost he told was scary enough! ...Shouldn’t it be 0 points?
In order to complete the powerful ghost setting of the ghost in the story, No. 11 added settings in the last few seconds, saying:
"The human ghost will inherit the memory of the people it kills and use it to trap and kill other living people."
When the countdown ended, there was applause from the stage.
No. 11 looked in the direction of the applause and found that it was the Pumpkin Head host.
This made No. 11 feel flattered. At this moment, he seemed to have received the highest appreciation.
"Well told! The story of Toy No. 11 is really great! What do the audience think?" Pumpkinhead said with undisguised excitement in his tone.
The ghost audience laughed in a dignified manner and shouted the number 11 loudly.
Huan Xiao discovered that Pumpkin Head was exuding black mist, and it seemed that the ghost energy was disordered because it was too happy.
But Huanxiao doesn't understand that the story of No. 11 is just a setting that is not even a story. Why is Pumpkin Head so happy?
The long-haired ghost next to him let out a deep laugh:
"Interesting story, I love this."
The devil showed a playful smile and looked at the people on the stage:
"I think he deserves a high score, the story is very replayable!"
"But it's still too weak. If you can add a clone setting, I can give it full marks." The little girl ghost hugged the dead dog, reached out and dug out one of the dog's eyes, and then said:
"Maybe add a description of the appearance of someone who is more than ten meters tall. I like tall ghosts~"
The headless ghost put its head on its shoulders and commented:
"No, I prefer ghosts with separated heads and bodies. How can a ghost with a complete body be considered a ghost? Human beings are human beings and are always trapped in their thinking framework."
"03, what do you think?" The little girl ghost likes to take Huan Xiao with her when talking now.
Huan Xiao saw the other ghosts looking at her, so she thought about it and said:
"I would prefer the eyes to be distributed throughout the body so that the dismemberment operation can be more efficient."
Hearing this, the Bandage Ghost nodded in approval:
"The dismemberment operation is really efficient, but it's easy to get lost if the dismemberment is too far apart."
Hearing its words, Huanxiao turned his head and looked at the bandages on the bandage ghost.
... Could this ghost have wrapped its body so tightly because it was afraid that its body parts would get lost?
On the stage, Pumpkin Head said passionately:
"Please let the judges show their scores!"
Huan Xiao casually picked up the 3-point sign and held it up.
But I saw that other ghosts scored 5 to 8, and Huan Xiao gave the lowest score.
"Congratulations to No. 11 for scoring 34 points! This is the second highest score ever on the show! Let's congratulate Toy No. 11!"
"11! 11!" The ghost audience stood up and waved their arms in the auditorium. The whole scene was like a celebrity concert.
If the ghosts hadn't looked scary, No. 11 might have felt a sincere sense of pride.
But even knowing that those cheering for him were ghosts, No. 11 still felt satisfied and happy.
34 points! A full 34 minutes!
Not only did he not get 0 points, he also got the second-highest score in variety show history!
No. 11 now understands the mood of the top student who always ranked first and second in the school in the past. It turned out that it was such a joy to win against so many people, and it was even more exciting than he imagined!
Seeing the new countdown begin, No. 11 ran back to the others and said to them excitedly:
"Did you see it? I scored 34 points! They said I was second in history. I'm so happy!"
No. 11 was happy, but No. 9, who only scored 0 points, couldn't stand No. 11's showoff.
"Why do you get such a high score? We obviously tell similar stories, but your story is worse than mine. You can't even pronounce the words clearly. I really wonder if you are an undercover agent sent by the ghosts."
No. 9 feels dissatisfied whenever she thinks that she only has 0 points. Why did she get 0 points for the same type of story, while No. 11 got 34 points! If there was no inside story, she wouldn't believe it.
But No. 11 was not angry because of No. 9's unscrupulous remarks. His mood did not drop a bit, but became happier.
No. 11 said with a hint of condescension in his eyes:
"How can you blame me for your poor storytelling? It's not because the stories you told made the judges' ears grow numb. Who likes to hear someone repeat a story? It makes me vomit."
"you……"
There was anger in No. 9's eyes, and he wanted to fight No. 11 to the death.
The striped man saw the paranoia in No. 9's eyes, so he stepped forward to persuade him:
"Number 9, have you ever thought that it's not that the story you told is bad, but that the judges just want to give you 0 points for other reasons?"
"Are you here to gloat? The score hasn't been determined yet, so how do you know you didn't score 0?" No. 9 was in a very bad mood, to the point where he was unwilling to talk to others.
The striped man saw this and said nothing more.
Of course he knows that he can't score 0 points, because he will use the safest method to get points later.
The striped man is number 12, it's his turn to play!
After going up, the striped man did not speak, but stood on the stage and waited quietly.
Since telling a story may get zero points, then he can learn from No. 7 and just say nothing, which will give him 6 points.
After he took the stage, there happened to be only twenty seconds left in the countdown, and it ended quickly.
Seeing that the timer was over, Pumpkinhead said loudly:
"The story of No. 12 has been told. Let the judges give their scores!"
In fact, Pumpkin Head also knows that No. 12 is not telling a story at all, it is just going through a process.
Huanxiao stretched out his hand towards the 1-point sign, but was held down by the little girl ghost.
"02, what are you doing?" Huan Xiao asked with raised eyebrows.
The little girl ghost put her dog on her lap and said to Huan Xiao:
"Toys that don't tell stories will be given a zero score. Otherwise, if the toys that follow are clever and follow suit, our show will not be able to continue."
"But this is my rating board." Huan Xiao said.
The little girl Gui took one of the dog's eyes and played with it in her other hand. She thought about it carefully and said:
"I'll give you a gadget. If you get zero points this time, it's like a deal with me. If you get a few more toys with zero points, we can put on a good show."
