”Your answer is correct!” With a wave of Mr Yoo's hand, the question card burned, and cheers and applause cahed ”Participant No 1 has answered all four questions correctly from the first section, and it even includes one special question With his current total of fifty points, it is basically confir into the second round”
He turned to Xiao Tan ”But what about Participant No 2?”
Xiao Tan was already breaking out in cold sweat, and he laughed drily ”Ha… ha ha… I've already made the preparation to enter that so-called coliseum…”
”Is that so? Hue hue hue…” Mr Yoo chuckled ”But it is true that the questions for this last round will be more difficult, so… please listen carefully!
”We all know… there is a fictional character known as Kick-ass When he is not donning the superhero costuht crime, he is actually a student The question is, what is the name of this student?” Mr Yoo put down the question card and turned to look at Xiao Tan ”Your countdown starts now!”
Xiao Tan was stumped after he heard the question He was one as not used to hiding his real emotions, so from his facial expression… it was clear that he did not know the answer
”Hmm…” Xiao Tan had seen this movie before In fact, he had seen it more than once, but for some reason, the name of the main character refused to come to him
”You have thirty seconds left” As Mr Yoo reminded hilance at Participant No 1, I know that he must know the answer Unfortunately, this is not his turn to answer”
The sound effect of the ticking ti Xiao Tan's memory
”You have fifteen seconds left”
”Fine, I don't know the answer” Xiao Tan could not bear to shoulder this overly nervous atmosphere Before the time ended, he announced his surrender Boos echoed froret that I announce the score of Participant No 2 has once again returned to zero, and he is currently the participant with the lowest score,” Mr Yoo said as heRain's panel ”Participant No 3, if you answer this question correctly, you will be safe As long as Participant No 4 does not run into yet another special question, even if she gets her question wrong, the result will not change In other words… this fifteenth question will most likely decide the result of the first section”
”H Rain's reaction was si the previous round
Mr Yoo's lips twitched twice He had said so ave hi that he could do about it, so he lifted his question card ”H of hell, who are the kings for the second layer, fifth layer, and tenth layer? Your countdown…”
”Jiang Chu King, Yan Luo King, and Lun Zhuang King” Passing Rain gave the answer before Mr Yoo even finished
”Your answer is correct!” Mr Yoo burned the question card
The audience clapped, and at the same time, the intuitive cameraman turned the camera to Xiao Tan, and he obtained a close-up of a pouty, saddened face
Mr Yoo returned to theat the last question card in his hand, he said, ”This sixteenth question…”
He purposely paused for around ten seconds
”… is…”
It felt like the man had to pause every time a word tumbled out of his mouth
”Another special question!”
A heavy silence instantly fell over the audience
”Now, Participant No 4, Laughing Soul's score is twenty points,” Mr Yoo explained ”If she answers this question incorrectly, her score will drop down to zero”
His way of speech was meant to draw in the audience's attention ”Looks like… we're never going to know the result until the last moment”
”Hey, fatty, if both our scores are zero, ill enter the coliseu Soul asked from her seat
”Er… Fatty…” Mr Yoo's face darkened ”Fine, that sounds like it was meant for me…”
He would have to admit it no matter what It was only hie If they placed the cah no rams
”Hmm… If there's a situation where both participants are number one, then we have add an additional question, and the quickest to ansill be the winner” Mr Yoo cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment ”If there are two participants who have the lowest score, both participants will enter the coliseuhtly ”In that case… I volunteer to surrender this question”
The audience drew a sharp breath collectively while Mr YooBujue raised his thu the suitable strategy considering the situation, and the compliment was for a sense of friendshi+p and camaraderie
Xiao Tan was so overwhelmed with appreciation that he al it with a friend wasit alone It made him feel much better
”You chose to surrender without even hearing the question… Looks like I don't even ask for your confirful so to the coliseu Soul's seats spun, and they lowered They dropped into the black space underneath the floor The tere once again pulled away by this shapeless force, and they returned to the slide, h speed toward an unknown location
The screen inside the studio changed The screen showed an expansive desert-scape Soon after, in this picture of rolling sand, Xiao Tan dropped down froracefully Several seconds later, Laughing Soul dropped from the sky She landed on her two feet on Xiao Tan's sto
”So, who shall be the first executioner ill grace us with their presence at the coliseuh neither of our participants today belong to any for on the verge of death, even the lowest forood show”
He used his high voice to work up the spirit of the audience ”Who or ill be given this bloody responsibility? Who will have the luxury of facing two of our participants today?”
He walked closer and looked into the camera The music in the studio also turned intense

”Why would you have a request like that? Do you look down onaway his sweat ”But… unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to fulfill your request”
”Hu
Then, the camera turned directly to Hephaestus The cameraman seemed to have realized that it was the best solution to have Mr Pestilence, who had given relatively normal comments, speak last
”Will the executioner be a cyclops?” Hephaestus's comment was equally useless
”If it is, you should find a quiet corner and go kill yourself!” Fatty Yoo grumbled
