"So, what am I nervous about?" Below the stage, Xi loosened her fists with a smile on her lips.
"But is this all part of his plan? Since the post this morning? "Xi looked at Meg with curiosity in her eyes.
Meg did not show any signs of discomfort when she came to the Buried City. He made all kinds of arrangements with ease, and his constant trickery gave her the illusion that she was a fake Buried City resident.
His extraordinary performance in the professional field had successfully convinced the judges to give him a rare high score and advance to the semifinals. For the mission, he had taken a step forward.
The semifinals were out. First place was Angelina with 92 points, second place was Iman, and third place was Meg with a slight lead of 0.4 points.
The other four contestants were eliminated.
"Referee, I have a question!" Denton stood up with grief and indignation.
Everyone looked at him with pity in their eyes.
According to the original script, he should have successfully advanced to the top four by now, instead of being pitifully swept into the elimination list like he was now.
The referee looked in the director's direction.
Johnny nodded slightly, indicating that he could make his statement.
"Contestant Johnny, do you have any questions?" The referee looked at him and asked.
Johnny pointed at Meg and said, "Hades just joined the King of Chefs' competition this morning and his basic PK value is zero. It's only been a few hours, so how did his online score reach three points? That's impossible! "
The other contestants had similar expressions as they looked at the referee and judges.
"This is indeed strange." Dave nodded.
As a veteran judge for three years, he knew that Hades's PK value had exceeded 30 million by the time he reached the quarter-finals.
Although this score was far lower than the average score of the contestants, it was already beyond the normal threshold for a contestant who had just joined the competition less than five hours ago.
In the face of the contestants and judges' doubts, the referee calmly raised his hand and said, "Director, please switch to the real-time PK list."
A list of the semifinals appeared on the big screen. Angelina was at the top of the list with 150 million points, followed by Iman with 130 million points, and Hades with 35 million PK value was at the bottom of the list.
Thirty-five million, and the number was still rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, the score calculation formula appeared on the screen. According to the formula, Meg's current online score was 3.1, an increase of 0.1 from the previous score.
"What did this guy do?!"
This was the most shocking thought in the minds of the judges and contestants.
"Are you kidding? Hades is Brother Justice with over 100 million fans on the Internet!"
"I understand. After all, the contestants and judges have been offline for two hours. They don't know that times have changed."
"If you and I don't vote, when will Brother Justice reach the top? Brother! Go and vote for me! "
The netizens were overjoyed.
"This …" Denton almost lost.
"Are you crazy? This is the live broadcast of the King of Chefs' competition? Even if I I I I I not! " But at this moment, his manager's slightly trembling voice exploded in his ears, instantly waking him up. The rest of his words were stuck in his mouth, and he didn't dare to say them out loud.
"This is unbelievable. I'm convinced. Congratulations, Hades." Denton tried to control his emotions and squeezed out a smile at Meg.
"Thank you." Meg looked at Denton's smile, which was uglier than a crying face, and found it funny. The smile on his face became even brighter.
After the contestants' doubts were resolved, the program team kindly gave the eliminated contestants time to bid farewell to the stage.
Although this was a cooking competition, because of the many halos and popularity, the contestants themselves already had the attributes of celebrities.
In the past, most of the top eight contestants would sign a contract with Moka Group's management company and debut according to their attributes.
The eliminated contestants bid farewell to the stage, and the qualified contestants successfully took their seats. While the judges congratulated them on their success, they also announced that the semifinals would be held tomorrow. The rules of the competition would be announced on the spot tomorrow.
At this point, the two and a half hour semifinals of the King of Chefs' competition came to an end.
"The live broadcast is over. Thank you all for your hard work," said Johnny as he took off his headphones and stood up.
The cameras were all turned off, and the judges also got up one after another to move their stiff bodies that had been sitting for more than two hours.
The contestants got off the stage and were taken away by their respective managers.
"Did you help me gain fans?" Meg followed Xi down the long corridor and asked through telepathy.
"No." Xi shook her head.
"Isn't 30 million a little too much?" Meg still found it hard to believe.
"The incident this morning is still brewing. At the same time, the King of Chefs' competition also gave us a huge boost in popularity," explained Xi.
"Has Horace been arrested?" Meg stopped smiling and asked.
"Charlie and Bart have been arrested by the Investigation Department, but Horace hasn't been arrested yet."
"Given how ruthless Fergus is, it's questionable whether Horace is still alive or not." Meg shook his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Give me Horace's location. I know you can get it."
"What do you want to do?" Xi stopped and looked at him with deep eyes.
"As I said, justice may be late, but it will never be absent." Meg smiled.
"This kind of thing should be left to the Investigation Department. What you're doing is not in line with the rules of Buried City." Xi shook her head.
"Killing him to silence him is in accordance with the rules of the Dungeon." Meg's smile had a hint of mockery. "That's right. They were the ones who set the rules in the first place."
Xi kept quiet and continued walking.
"He should be put on trial to atone for those girls who died unjustly and were still trapped in their nightmares. He shouldn't die quietly and be disguised as a suicide," Mag said as he looked at Xi's back.
Xi took a deep breath and looked back at him. "According to the rules of the show, contestants are not allowed to leave Mocha Building during the competition without permission. So, you have to leave your bracelet in the building. You only have two hours."
"I think you're getting cuter." Meg smiled brightly and followed her.
Ten minutes later, "Xi" drove the flying car out of Tucker Building.
"Women's clothing is a little awkward, but the dress is pretty cool." Meg took off the balaclava and unbuttoned the tight-fitting dress.
There was a red dot on the screen that was located in a mountain valley three thousand kilometers west of Tucker City. It was currently parked.
This should be Horace's location.
"Let's go and meet this scumbag." Meg turned on the autopilot and started to change.
