"Isn't it better than telling a story?" No. 12 repeated Pumpkin Head's words, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
"Really? Compared to what?"
No. 17 seemed to see hope. She felt that she could do it again, so she looked at the pumpkin-headed host expectantly.
No. 9 and No. 12 also looked at the host, waiting for him to speak.
However, Pumpkinhead did not speak first. Instead, he threw the three people tied with ghost energy into the circle that suddenly appeared on the stage.
The circle is about five meters in diameter and appears in the center of the stage. There's nothing special about it except that it's a little small.
Then, the pumpkin-headed host laughed and said:
"Now that the third level of the game is over, of course the fastest way is to solve the problem you three have now. Whoever leaves the circle first will be destroyed!"
Then, Pumpkinhead pointed to the countdown next to the circle and said:
"I only give you three minutes. If there is still no toy out of bounds after the countdown, all three of you need to be destroyed. So, you must act as soon as possible~"
What none of the six people present expected was that before Pumpkin Head finished speaking, No. 12 was the first to take action. He pushed No. 17 out of the circle with force.
"Ah! What are you doing?! Are you crazy on the 12th?"
No. 17 struggled desperately, but couldn't break free from No. 12's hand.
No. 12 is too strong. No. 17 has been pampered at home since she was a child. Her strength cannot compete with an adult man.
So, she could only look at No. 9 helplessly and shouted:
"Sister, save me! I don't want to die, please save me! I can go back and give you money. My parents have a lot of money, as long as you save my life...ah!"
No. 12 grabbed No. 17's hair, forcing No. 17 to stop calling for help.
Then, he turned back to warn No. 9 fiercely:
"Don't interfere with me, or you will be the one pushed out later, you know?"
No. 9 stood not far away looking at them, pursed his lips, hesitating whether to help No. 17.
In order to survive in the game, she insists on high-intensity exercise every day, and is now able to compete with three adult men.
But No. 12 has obviously also exercised. His muscles are strong and strong, and he is stronger than the average person. No. 9 actually does not think that he can help No. 17.
If she really goes to help, maybe the final result will be that the two of them are pushed out on the 12th.
Moreover, in the game, the strong are respected, so there is no reason for her to help a player she just met!
After thinking about it, No. 9 suppressed his newly rising compassion and turned a blind eye to No. 17's request for help.
When No. 12 saw No. 9's recognition, he raised his lips with satisfaction, and then continued to grab No. 17 and walk out of the circle.
Seeing that No. 9 was unmoved, No. 17 begged No. 12 for mercy:
"Please, don't kill me! My parents are still waiting for me to come home. I still have a lot of things to do. I can't die. I really can't die! Please let me go!"
No. 12 listened and acted without any hesitation.
He was able to complete many games because of his hard-as-iron heart.
compassion? That kind of thing died with him when he was almost killed by a ghost because of the betrayal of his teammates. Now he has lost his human kindness.
If you want to successfully pass the game, you should first get rid of useless weakness and hesitation.
No. 12 dragged No. 17 and threw him out of the circle.
Without any reversal, No. 17 fell to the cold floor. Feeling the coldness on the ground, she cried loudly in grievance.
However, no one cared about No. 17 crying bitterly. Everyone is secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, they are not the ones who die in this game...
Pumpkinhead announced in a sharp voice on the stage:
"Toy No. 17 is out. The object of destruction in the third game is--No. 17!"
"Oh! Destroy! Transform!"
"Destroy! Transform!"
The ghost audience waved their arms excitedly, and Huan Xiao could even see stumps flying around in the auditorium.
"This is the end of the warm-up session for this show. The remaining five toys can go back~ We are about to start the fourth level that all the judges and the audience are looking forward to, which is the last level of the game in this variety show!"
"Toy City! Toy City!"
The ghost audience unanimously called out this name, as excited as if they had been given a shot of blood.
The six people standing on the stage heard the host telling them to go back. Instead of being unhappy, they couldn't hide their excitement.
No. 11’s eyes shone brightly and he asked several other people:
"Can we leave now? No need to participate in the fourth level of the game?"
No. 7 couldn't believe it. The ghost actually planned to let them go like this? Does this mean that he no longer has to play games with these ghosts in fear? He is safe!
No. 21 carefully asked the Pumpkin Head host:
"Since we don't have to participate in the fourth level, can you let us go now?"
When No. 12 heard Pumpkin Head say that only five people would be released, his face turned pale.
There are six of them here, who will be left behind?
The four players gradually realized the problem of the number of people, and only two aborigines were still having fun.
While Pumpkinhead was interacting with the audience, he impatiently waved a ghostly aura in the direction of the six people.
Everyone subconsciously covered their bodies with their hands.
Opening their eyes, the four players all breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that they were being teleported away...
Huan Xiao was at the judges' table and saw the five people on the stage being teleported away.
There were four players and one native, and they all left the way they had.
But what puzzled her was that No. 11, who was supposed to leave, actually stayed on the stage.
Logically speaking, he should also be teleported away.
No. 11 had the same idea as Huan Xiao. He couldn't help but tremble in his heart after seeing several of his companions leaving together but only him staying where he was.
He didn't know whether his stay was an accident or intentional. If it was the former, it would be fine, but if it was the latter...
No it won't, he got top marks and deserves to leave with the others!
No. 11 comforted himself not to be afraid. These ghosts had already sent the other five people away, so there was no reason to keep him... However, it was possible that they liked his story so much that they wanted him to tell another one. ?
Isn't it because they want to keep him as their permanent guest?
...Quickly dismissing the bad thoughts in his mind, No. 11 plucked up the courage, walked not far from Pumpkin Head, and asked:
"Well, host, you seem to have forgotten to send me away."
"Forgot? No, no, no, are you kidding me? Pumpkinhead is not a human being, how could he forget what he should do?"
The pumpkin-headed host turned his skull microphone, sneered, and said to the audience:
"Eager audience, it seems that Toy No. 11 still doesn't know his mission. Do you think Pumpkin Head should tell him?"
"Don't tell! Don't tell!"
"Say it! Say it!"
There were two deafening ghost screams, and the two voices were incomparable and refused to give way to each other.
The pumpkin head was stroking its pumpkin hood as it seemed a little distressed.
An ominous premonition emerged in No. 11's heart. He took a few steps back and asked in a dumb voice:
"...What are you talking about? What mission? Isn't it over? They have all left! They were all sent away by you, why did you leave me alone and say what other damn mission is there for me?!"
No. 11 spoke fiercely and stared at Pumpkinhead, stubbornly waiting for Pumpkinhead to give him an explanation.
