02. We should not be afraid of them, they should be afraid of us.
Amidst the applause, the second beam of light came down, and the host came to the second contestant's seat: "Second contestant: Li Man, a Martian actor, whose masterpieces "Grandma Is Crazy" and "The Call from Outer Solar System" have both made a lot of money.
score."
The person called Li Man was a young woman in her twenties with a good-looking face. She playfully waved to the audience, eliciting a burst of cheers and applause.
Then Clark continued to introduce: "The third contestant: Harris, the chief household synthetic human appearance designer of Film Machinery Factory. Maybe the synthetic human lying on your pillow was made by Mr. Harris~"
"I don't have that much budget to hire celebrities, so I can only find a few cheap ones." In the audience, Charlie, who was solely responsible for the program, sighed.
Amidst the applause, Clark came to the last contestant seat and made a mysterious appearance: "The identity of the last contestant is very mysterious. The director team has been keeping it secret. Applause welcomes Mu Su——"
A beam of light fell from the sky and hit Mu Su.
"Because we don't know who he is." Charlie muttered to himself, becoming less optimistic about this show.
He glanced at the chief director who was several staff members away. But as said before, he could win no matter what.
On the stage, Clark stood in front of Mu Su, and a dragonfly-shaped camera spread its wings and stayed in the air, taking pictures.
"Mr. Musu, what is your occupation?"
"Famous writer." Mu Su stared with a pair of dead fish eyes.
"Wow." Clark pretended to be surprised and looked back at the camera: "I don't know what your pen name is. Maybe the audience here will have——"
"With the famous detective." Mu Su suddenly added.
"...?"
The scene fell silent. The host stared at Mu Su, who was obviously a little proud because he had just come up with it. He didn't come back to his senses until the director's shout sounded in his ears. He smiled and said, "So that's it. You are using a pseudonym?
What?"
"Handsome guy Mu Su." Mu Su crossed his arms, raised his head slightly, and said without shame.
He actually said it shamelessly!
The host roared in his heart, but had to pretend to keep a smile on his face: "It seems that Mr. Musu is a very humorous person."
She walked away from Mu Su and returned to the center of the stage. The prison searchlight-like beam finally dimmed, and normal light came on on the stage.
On one side of the stage, four contestants were each sitting on a loose and comfortable sofa, with sponsor's products placed in front of their respective tables: a bottle of perfume; a can of beer; and a box of fried chicken.
No matter how you look at it, it's all sponsored by the merchant downstairs.
"The four contestants have been introduced. Next, let's proceed to the part of this program: Super Q&A!"
"In this round, the production team will randomly select two questions from the question bank and ask the four contestants. After the answers are announced, all viewers will score. The one with the highest score will be the winner of this round."
The host began to explain the rules of the first round. For the contestants, it was a bit boring to have only the host there during the whole process. However, from the audience's perspective, there were pictures to explain at this time.
After spending less than a minute explaining the rules, Clark pulled out a card from the box brought by the staff nearby, looked at it, and cast a meaningful look at the camera.
"Contestants, please listen to the first question. From the beginning of human civilization, the concept of ghosts began to appear and became people's sustenance. To this day, we still wishfully believe that there will be another world after death. So, what are your views on ghosts?
What?"
Clark came to Charles' seat: "You should often come across this type of theme in games. I wonder what you think of it, Charles?"
Being on the show for the first time, a somewhat nervous Charles scratched his cheek: "If you believe there are ghosts in the world... then there will be too many things you need to believe in next. Devils, angels, Satan, Jesus and so on."
Clark nodded and commented: "It seems that Player Charles and I have similar ideas."
After the audience's applause passed, Clark came to Li Man and said, "Ms. Li Man has played skillful characters in several movies she has appeared in. Let me guess, your answer will not be to beat the devil."
Head."
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and Li Man also chuckled. He opened the curtain on his forehead and answered generously: "In reality, I am still a timid girl. So I had to force myself not to believe it."
"It sounds like our big star Li Man doesn't have a boyfriend yet. Audiences in front of the media should be careful." Clark hit the end and teased Li Man, which caused a roar in the audience, and then walked up to Harris.
"It's not like I haven't designed ghost-like synthetics. Some clients are quite good with them. In fact, that's about it."
Harris' reply is very consistent with the views of his age and class.
Clark commented on Harris's reply and then turned to Mu Su. He seemed to have forgotten the previous embarrassment and joked: "Mu Su has a great advantage. As the last player, he has enough time to think. So Mu Su
What's your answer?"
Mu Su glanced at the "compound eye" of the dragonfly-shaped camera, which is also the lens. His eyes gradually left, and his tone was full of reminiscence.
"The first time I realized the existence of ghosts was when I masturbated."
The contestants, host, staff, audience, and everyone watching the show were stunned.
The entire studio was silent.
They are doubting their ears.
Clark came back to his senses and cast a questioning look at the chief director, revealing his meaning in words: "What do you think we should do now?"
Ignoring other people, Mu Su said to himself: "I was thinking, what if a ghost happened to be around when I was masturbating? It's okay for a female ghost, but what if it's a male ghost? To be honest, the male ghost doesn't care.
No problem. But what if...what if my grandparents, my grandparents, and their grandparents are around? What will they do if they see me? Is it embarrassing or not? How can I raise my head in front of them after I die?
"
Mu Su told absurd stories in a serious manner.
"So I didn't masturbate again for a long time. But then a friend who was a psychic told me that he had first-hand information on this."
Clark had to look at the chief director again, she could no longer take charge.
This is a live broadcast! This is a normal program!
"Just treat him as talking about family matters." The deep voice of the chief director sounded through the communicator.
"I just said that my friend can be a psychic. A few months ago, something evil began to lurk in his house. Whenever night fell, it began to approach the bedroom and wanted to attack him. By chance, he
Unable to control himself, he took out the thing and felt it trying desperately to escape from him. Later, he also found that when he masturbated and looked in the direction of the ghost, it would run away faster."
"So when you feel like you've encountered something ominous, just pull out the tube and scare it away."
