I really don't want to work in the world of weird rules!

While the host and those headless employees are not paying attention to themselves, is there no way to find a way out?

Gu Changyuan frantically checked all the items he was carrying, frantically reviewing the various characteristics of this bizarre incident in his mind.

I don't ask for anything else, I just want to escape from this godforsaken place.

He didn't even dare to hope that this crazy Q&A show could end, etc.

What if we just want it to pause for a moment?!

Gu Changyuan suddenly raised his head.

The host's back was very close.

The monster with the head of an old-fashioned television set was about to ask Han Yan a question.

It seems you're all set! That's fantastic!

The distance is very short, so let's give it a shot!

He quickly hid his trembling hands under the platform, using his slightly bent body as cover, and swiftly pulled two items from the inside pocket of his suit jacket.

A cheap smiley sticker with a smiley face printed on it, and a can of drink from the Alice picnic set.

The action must be quick.

He pried open the pull tab on the can with one hand.

I tore open the sticker packaging and pressed the smiley sticker into the drink without hesitation.

Faster, faster.

Han Yan's voice was dry and hoarse.

Before I answer, may I say a few words to the audience?

【sure!】

Han Yan pretended to be looking at the camera, but his gaze was actually fixed on Gu Changyuan and Yang Shiyin.

Look at the platform where they are.

"There's a sick person in my family lying in the hospital. Once filming is over, I hope some kind person can go and check on them for me! Please."

Oh my god, this is so touching!

So, what is your answer?

Han Yan's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and a bitter smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"I don't..."

"Wait a moment."

Gu Changyuan suddenly raised his left hand.

"host."

In the instant that captures all attention.

He suddenly stretched out his right hand and slapped the several wet, beverage-soaked smiley face stickers onto the bottom of the old-fashioned television set, which served as the host's head.

A deathly silence.

Drip, a drop of water slid down the bottom of the television and hit the ground.

Was it captured on camera? Did the monster notice?

No, if he were discovered, his own head would be smashed into a rotten watermelon right now.

【Oh, Mr. Deer! Do you have anything to add?】

It didn't find it.

Gu Changyuan's Adam's apple bobbed suddenly.

He turned his head away without making a sound, and Han Yan was staring at him with the look of someone looking at a madman.

They were clearly shocked that he had openly interrupted the recording process and hadn't been immediately burned to ashes.

It's a big gamble.

But it's not a gamble without any logic.

The host just clearly stated: "The best part is that this time it's a pre-recorded broadcast, which is definitely a million times easier than before! Haha!"

Since it's a pre-recorded video, there must be a margin for error.

Unless it's intentional sabotage of the show or refusal to cooperate, a simple unexpected situation does not constitute "disrupting the recording of a program".

Raising your hand to signal or interjecting with a few words is entirely within the rules!

Mr. Deer?

It tacitly approved of this behavior.

"Yes."

Gu Changyuan casually glanced at the bottom of the television, where water was still dripping.

He deliberately lowered his voice, whispering at a volume that only the two of them could hear.

"Um, I suddenly feel really dizzy, could I rest for a bit?"

The host fell silent.

The principle behind the operation he just performed is very simple.

Smile stickers.

This item can forcibly generate a slight level of goodwill when attached to a target with independent consciousness.

Pair it with the canned beverage in the Alice Picnic Set.

After soaking, the effect of the sticker will be forcibly doubled.

Of course, there is a fatal flaw in this.

Does this host truly possess independent thinking?

It is clearly a monster.

However, judging from its ability to host programs, it should possess a basic sense of independence.

No, it must have independent thought, because Gu Changyuan has staked everything on this inference.

Open the bow without turning back the arrow.

What if I'm judged to be disturbing the peace and burned to ashes? It doesn't matter, I'm going to die anyway, maybe being burned to death will be a quicker death.

Cold sweat had already soaked through the shirt he was wearing underneath, sticking damply to his back.

The host finally spoke.

【oops!】

Gu Changyuan held his breath.

[Was it because he was too enthusiastic about the show that he exhausted himself? That's understandable, completely understandable. Mr. Lu really worked very hard.]

Since that's the case.

The TV screen went black instantly.

It raised its right hand high and then chopped down fiercely.

[Cut! Everyone take a short break!]

The shrill band music abruptly stopped.

The headless staff began to whisper restlessly.

[Haha, I'm so sorry, my screen got a little dusty, so I can't see very well, makeup artist!]

The camera's red light suddenly went out.

[Wipe carefully, hmm, not bad!]

A faceless staff member rushed onto the stage carrying a makeup case and frantically wiped the old-fashioned television screen with a rag.

The host grabbed the makeup artist who was about to leave and pointed in Gu Changyuan's direction.

[Could you please take that contestant to the waiting room? It would be a huge help; he just promised to get me a glass of water.]

A playful winking emoticon flashed across the screen, followed by a few lines of text.

Have a drink of water and take a good rest!

"Thanks."

The bet was won.

We're safe for now.

Gu Changyuan's legs went weak, and he staggered off the platform, following closely behind the makeup artist.

Even though filming had been paused, the eerie pig-headed monster in the center of the stage still stood like a statue, stiffly waving its baton.

Manipulating the human heads on the silver plate, it tirelessly squeezes out a chilling dirge.

Don't look.

Don't watch it.

He endured his physical discomfort and dragged his stiff legs across the entire stage.

Recording will resume in 30 minutes!

Just as he passed the platform on the other side.

Yang Shiyin, who was standing on top, moved extremely quickly. In the brief moment of their crossing, she secretly slipped a hard object into his hand.

Gu Changyuan's fingertips trembled suddenly.

He immediately glanced at Yang Shiyin out of the corner of his eye.

The other person was silently lip-syncing to him.

"Find a time when you're alone to check it."

What is this?
