"Woo, woo, woo —"
Waves of enthusiastic cheers came from the large screen on the wall. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what kind of technology was used, but the sound was three-dimensional and real. It surrounded every listener, giving them the illusion that they were in the middle of a crazed celebration.
Huge colorful flowers bloomed on the screen one after another. Dazzling lights flashed across the dark blue sky. All kinds of colorful lights and shadows were cast on the pale faces in front of the screen, flickering between light and dark.
Lin Sanjiu was sitting on a high chair. Her body was as straight as a board. She couldn't move at all because a black leather rope had tied her body to the back of the chair. Beside her, the ten or so women who were sent here together were also sitting in the same position. Even though their gags had been removed, none of them spoke.
"Hello, fellow citizens of Garden of Eden!"
A petite and sweet female streamer appeared. She was dressed in white tights, and her plump red lips parted as she smiled and said, "… It's the New Year's Day again. Every time it's the end of the year, everyone is especially excited!"
"Of course!" The male host walked in from the other side of the camera and said with lines that he had obviously memorized, "In addition to food, fireworks, and visiting friends and family, the highlight of our Garden of Eden that will last for a month is about to begin!"
"For this year's event, we have the honor of inviting the renowned experts of Garden of Eden to give us their comments …"
Compared to the lively celebration on the screen, the room was dead silent, except for the rustling of people's clothes as they worked.
Just then, a brush dipped in powder swept across Lin Sanjiu's face a few times. Then, a young female voice said, "Look up."
Lin Sanjiu shot a glance at the makeup artist beside her but didn't move.
"Really, if you have a temper, save it for the critical moment!" The young woman with ear-length hair was very unhappy, but she couldn't do anything about it. She could only use her rubber gloved hands to wipe away the powder on her eyes reluctantly.
She was now standing behind Lin Sanjiu. The other beautician who had been helping Lin Sanjiu with her hair said, "I heard that she is very stubborn. Don't waste your time with her. Isn't that the one who became famous in the last competition? "
"Aiya, I quite like him. I have to see this." The makeup artist turned back to look at the screen, and the brush stopped moving.
"Let's have our makeup done and watch at the same time. Don't waste time," the beautician said. The hairpin in Lin Sanjiu's hand was still fluttering in the wind. Half of Lin Sanjiu's short hair had grown into a loose, slightly curly waist-length hair.
The person they were talking about was a strong and wild-looking man. He was only wearing a strange triangular cloth, revealing his well-developed muscles. He grinned at the camera.
Just as Lin Sanjiu was feeling puzzled, she suddenly heard a faint clicking sound. She turned around and saw that it was the fair-skinned, black-haired girl. His eyes were glued to the screen, and his teeth were chattering uncontrollably.
Did she know this person? Lin Sanjiu looked at the woman's face, which was draining of blood, and thought to herself. Even at this moment, Lin Sanjiu was still very confused about her current situation.
She had never expected that she would be sent into the glass sphere city.
It was already yesterday morning when Lin Sanjiu was placed in a large capsule and sent all the way to the glass wall. Initially, Lin Sanjiu thought that the glass ball city was isolated from the rest of the world, but when she got closer, she realized that she was wrong.
Through the glass wall, she could tell that the area where the capsules were sent was different.
There was not a single person in the vast area. There was only a small isolation zone surrounded by a thick, lead-made anti-radiation shield. A group of people were wrapped in anti-radiation suits from head to toe. Not a single part of their skin was exposed, and their eyes were hidden behind their hoods. They looked at the capsules that were sent into the isolation zone without any expression on their faces.
The moment the capsules that were contaminated with external radiation entered the isolation zone, they were immediately targeted by a faucet. A large amount of transparent liquid with white smoke gushed out of the faucet, washing the capsules from top to bottom. After that, the anti-radiation suits went forward and pulled the women out of the capsules. Following that, the women received the same treatment.
Even though Lin Sanjiu was drenched in cold water, she felt a lot more comfortable. Being inside the glass sphere city and being bathed in the unknown liquid, she could feel the effects of the radiation immediately lessen. Her body felt like it had just received a good rain after a long drought. She breathed in and out of breath, and she felt alive again.
Her stamina and strength were gradually recovering, but she did not act rashly. On the one hand, there was a group of fully-armed soldiers eyeing her like prey. On the other hand, she wanted to see what the glass sphere city was going to do to these women.
After the radiation was cleaned, the women were pushed back into the capsules. Just like before, they were sent into the room with the large screen. Following that, groups of makeup artists and beauticians entered the room one after another. They spread out rows of strange cosmetic tools and started working on the women's bodies.
During this period of time, some of the women begged and some tried to resist. However, the ropes on their bodies were Special Items that limited their strength. Moreover, Sandwhale and his men were still following behind a group of soldiers, closely monitoring the women's every move.
A voluptuous woman struggled and fell to the ground along with her chair. Then, a soldier rushed forward and pressed an electric baton on her stomach. This was definitely not the low-powered baton that Lin Sanjiu had used before. After the woman convulsed violently for a while, the room was filled with the stench of incontinence.
After she was dragged away, the remaining nine people did not say a word.
"What are these people going to do to me?"
This was the question that hung in every woman's mind. As their makeup became more refined and their hair became more shiny and beautiful, the dark clouds that hung in the air grew thicker.
The light from the screen danced on everyone's face. Another skinny man squinted his eyes and said, "So, I think that the moment the contestants find out the content of the competition, their performance is worth paying attention to and analyzing …"
The sensual female streamer laughed, "This view seems to be very popular recently. This time, I will also take Mr. Fang's view into consideration when I place my bet …"
"What content of the competition? Are you referring to us? " Just as Lin Sanjiu's heart was in her throat, the door was suddenly opened. An anxious voice shouted, "It will be your turn in 15 minutes. Hurry up and get ready!"
The person who shouted had a thick layer of makeup on his face. His foundation was light pink. If he didn't open his mouth to speak, it would be hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.
He scanned the room and cursed, "Hurry up!" Then, he slammed into the door.
The people in the room were a little anxious. The woman who was helping Lin Sanjiu quickly finished applying the eyes. She stopped. The beautician looked at Lin Sanjiu from head to toe and played with her hair for a while. Then, she turned to her colleague and said unhappily, "How did you end up like this …"
The makeup artist rolled her eyes, "She looks like this. I can't do anything about it."
"But, I don't think she will be popular with this look …"
"Ahem. What does that have to do with me? "The makeup artist laughed. She packed her things and walked out. "No matter how much they bet on her, they won't share it with me — Oh, this bandage should be removed."
Just when Lin Sanjiu realized that she was indeed a contestant, the makeup artist stretched her hand in front of her.
The Pygmalion Choker was under the bandage. Lin Sanjiu couldn't let it be exposed no matter what. Lin Sanjiu tried her best to turn her head and avoid the makeup artist's hand. She rolled her eyes and looked at the makeup artist coldly.
Both of them were in a stalemate for a while. Lin Sanjiu said calmly, "I'm injured. It doesn't look good when I remove the bandage. "
The makeup artist rolled her eyes and ignored her. By then, the makeup artists were almost done with their makeup. Just when the makeup artists were about to leave, the pink-faced man rushed in again. He waved to the people behind him, "Quick, quick! Come in and give them the camera!"
A group of dozens of small cameras hovered above the makeup artists and flew into the room. Behind them were two men who were controlling the equipment with their heads lowered. They seemed to be controlling the cameras.
Each woman was immediately surrounded by three to four cameras.
Just when everyone was bewildered, the voice of the female streamer came from the big screen in the room. On the big screen in the room, the female streamer's voice sounded again. "… After listening to the pre-match opinions, it's time to introduce the contestants. After all, most of the contestants have already appeared. Compared to yesterday, there aren't many contestants who will be meeting us today. I heard that there are only nine of them. Are you guys ready? "
"Nine …?" "What happened to the buxom woman who was dragged out?"
Lin Sanjiu's thoughts were immediately interrupted. A smile appeared on the pink-faced man's face. He stood in front of a small camera and shouted, "All the contestants are in position!"
Following that, a pale, familiar face appeared on the big screen.
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She looked at the screen and then at the black-haired girl who was crying beside her.
That's right. She was still the same person. If there was anything different, it was probably because of the makeup on her face.
It was obvious that the black-haired girl's makeup artist had captured her charm and painted her face as white as snow. There was not a trace of blood on her cheeks, but her eyes and the tip of her nose were purposely smeared with a faint redness. Her dark eyelashes were pressed down and hung at the corners of her eyes. The tears in her eyes made her look even more like a frightened bird.
"This is our contestant No. 92. She is so adorable!" The pink-faced man's voice came from both the room and the screen at the same time. He leaned closer to the black-haired girl and took a deep breath. He smiled and asked, "May I know your name?"
The black-haired girl's teeth were still chattering. She couldn't answer him at all.
"Oh, it seems like she is very timid. Her personality is also very pitiful!" The pink-faced man didn't seem to mind. He seemed to be used to this. He waved his hand and said, "Let's see what the audience in the bullet screen has to say!"
The moment he finished his action, the screen was immediately divided into several sections. The female host and the pink-faced man each occupied a small corner. In the middle was the black-haired girl's profile picture. At this time, on her profile picture, there were countless words scrolling past — — —
Lin Sanjiu stared at the screen with her mouth agape. Her eyes swept across the bullet screen and she was speechless for a long time.
After a few seconds, the pink-faced man deliberately raised his voice to get her attention. "Ah, contestant No. 92, what did you say? Speak louder so that the audience can hear you. "
A trembling voice came from the big screen, "I, I have a name. My name is Hui Chuyan."
As the black-haired girl's tears fell and her voice fell, the dense text once again flooded the screen, covering it.
The pink-faced man seemed to be very satisfied with the audience's reaction. He walked away from Hui Chuyan and strolled to another woman with short brown hair. A small camera immediately rose and shot the woman from above. Of course, her voluptuous chest appeared on the screen. Compared to Hui Chuyan, there were fewer words, but the response was just as enthusiastic.
As each contestant was only given one to two minutes, five contestants passed by very quickly. Lin Sanjiu had to admit that the makeup artists were pretty good. Even though the women all had stiff expressions and looked doubtful, after they were done with their makeup, some were charming, some were sexy, and some were pure. Every single one of them was very attractive.
After introducing Number 96, the pink-faced man turned and walked toward Lin Sanjiu. The camera switched to the one following Lin Sanjiu.
The bullet screen section, which had been shouting "Watch the next contestant, don't watch the pink-faced sissy", suddenly became silent.
At that moment, in the entire Garden of Eden under the glass dome, almost everyone's eyes were on a big or small screen. When Lin Sanjiu's image appeared, for some reason, it was as if someone had splashed a bucket of cold water on them. The excitement and liveliness from before had all faded away.
There was not a single trace of fear or anxiety on her honey-colored skin.
At first glance, no one could notice her long hair or her red lips. On the contrary, the sharp, cold glint in her eyes seemed to be able to stab anyone who dared to sit in front of the screen. It made people feel as if they weren't looking at a woman, but something behind this feminine facade. It was like an ancient beast, sitting majestically between heaven and earth.
In the 27 years of the Lunar New Year Tournament, there had never been a female contestant who held her chin so high when she made her debut.
After a long time, a few sparse comments appeared on the bullet screen.
Four or five comments appeared on the bullet screen. Even the room was silent. The pink-faced man probably didn't want the atmosphere to turn cold, so he quickly asked with a smile, "Contestant 97, what's your name?"
Lin Sanjiu glanced at him with an indifferent gaze.
"It's none of your business." (To be continued)
