You're about to retire from the entertainment industry, yet your concerts are still so popular?

The composure on Li Jian's face vanished completely!

But the hands under the table were twisted into a pretzel!

Yang Can! How much money are you going to give me?!

This isn't a mentor listening to music; it's Louis XVI administering torture!

Li Jian was so angry he wanted to quit the show!

He felt that every "ah" he let out as a fish was like a rusty nail desperately drilling into his temple!

Lin Zhiwei, standing to the side, turned from red to white, and then from white to green!

She remembered her earlier comment, "This is true aesthetics," and her face flushed red with embarrassment.

I wish I could turn back time and slap myself twice.

Yang Can!

Do you think we earn our appearance fees too easily?! To torture us with this kind of underhanded stuff?!

Lin Zhiwei gritted her teeth inwardly!

But when she turned to look at the director's seat, she found that the Advisor Wu next to her had his brows furrowed into the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone!

Consultant Wu adjusted his glasses, intending to patiently continue "appreciating" this avant-garde music.

But her body leaned back uncontrollably, trying to get further and further away from that pale stage...!

"Avant-garde...this is too avant-garde..." Advisor Wu muttered to himself, as if he were possessed.

Celine stared wide-eyed, her blue eyes wide with astonishment!

She glanced at the convulsing fish on the stage, then at her collapsing mentor around her.

Finally, she buried her face in her hands and murmured in heavily accented Mandarin, "Oh my god... Chinese people... Chinese people can fly! No, Chinese people can summon demons!"

Celine was almost in tears!

Is this contestant even singing music?!

I think this is witchcraft! I need to find Ye Chen! Only Ye Chen's "Never Left" can save me!

This moment.

The five mentors, each experiencing a unique breakdown, collectively created one of the most dramatic and memorable moments in the history of Chinese-language variety shows.

……

In the review room.

The cry of "Ah~~~" from the fish was like a rusty saw, cutting back and forth through everyone's nerves.

Su Jinyun was still forcing a professional smile.

But when the person on stage started convulsing and foaming at the mouth, uttering inhuman trembling sounds, the color drained completely from her face!

"Teacher Ye Chen!" Su Jinyun was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she subconsciously hugged Ye Chen's wrist tightly.

"I...I really can't stand it...No, I mean, this song is too avant-garde!"

Ye Chen was desperately trying to shrink into the corner of the sofa when she was startled by her amazing move, and almost fell over with the sofa!

Fortunately, Su Jinyun's hands gripped Ye Chen's wrists tightly like iron clamps, her nails almost digging into his flesh!

That's how working people are; even when she's terrified, she still maintains her professionalism.

Ye Chen was utterly speechless!

He had never been this disheveled since he came to this world!

Even when faced with thousands of people reciting poems to force him to resign, even when singing B5, even when hitting high notes to the point of cracking, he remained calm!

But now, all he wants is to cut off his ear and throw it in the trash!

Yang Can's 800,000 yuan is really not easy to get!

I should have asked for more money for the appearance... No, I should have never come on this lousy show!

This isn't about being a mentor, this is about undergoing a tribulation!

It's the kind of tribulation that happens in the eighteen levels of hell!

Ye Chen desperately covered his head and ears, his whole body writhing in agony!

The accompaniment from the underworld felt like countless icy hands, drilling into the brain through the ear canal.

"Teacher Ye Chen..." Su Jinyun's expression became even more pained, and her voice was trembling with sobs!

Now she understood why Teacher Ye Chen had asked her for earplugs earlier!

So this is where the crisis was waiting!

At that very moment, the fish on the stage unleashed its ultimate attack!

……

"Waaah~"

"Ah~~"

"Yay ya ya~~"

It turned into a fish and went crazy lying on the bed.

The screams of "Ah!" continued to spread outwards!

Through every crack in the building constructed by the production team, the message travels outward, reaching a point where everything begins to wither.

It transformed into a fish with a bizarrely twisted body.

And from his mouth came all sorts of indescribable, eerie cries from the underworld, even a mocking laugh.

Just as the song was about to end, his cancer suddenly flared up, and he almost died from it!

……

The review room.

Su Jinyun covered her ears, her face contorted into a meme-worthy expression!

Ye Chen, standing to the side, couldn't help but recite the Pure Land Sutra:

"The sky is clear, the earth is turbid; the sky moves, the earth is still."

"...

"The pure is the source of the impure, and movement is the foundation of stillness."

"When people can always maintain a state of tranquility, all things in heaven and earth will return to their proper place..."

Finally, after chanting several times, Ye Chen calmed down under the influence of the Qingjing Sutra.

……

And this moment.

A dark stage.

The eerie and unsettling accompaniment made the incandescent bed look like an altar.

Everything about it sent chills down my spine!

It transformed into a fish, lying on its back, its limbs twitching violently, its expression ferocious.

He gripped the microphone tightly with one hand and screamed, while frantically scratching his ears and cheeks with the other, completely engulfed in some kind of uncontrollable madness!

Off stage.

Some viewers burst into tears!

She was so scared she cried!

Many more people remained frozen in their seats, their pupils dilated and their faces deathly pale.

"Good heavens! What's going on here?"

"A top-tier singer, is this how you behave?!"

"Is this...is this really a music competition? Are you sure this isn't some kind of ritual?"

"No, isn't the production team calling an ambulance yet? I feel like if it's too late, they might really not be able to save him!"

"I'm completely numb! Let him win this time, otherwise I'm scared!"

However, it faced dissenting voices.

The fans who transformed into fish were so excited that their faces turned red, and they all stood up to defend their idol:

"This song is called 'Cancer'! Our brother is portraying the suffering of cancer patients!"

"Exactly! That struggling sound perfectly captures the despair of someone with cancer!"

"People with no taste shouldn't blame the song just because they don't understand it, okay?!"

"Our transformed fish is undoubtedly a musical genius!"

"Hehe, I suggest the other singers just withdraw from the competition!"

"Our brother is a singer-songwriter; what can they possibly compare to with this original new song?"

Listening to music is already painful enough, but now being attacked by these die-hard fans has made the audience at the scene extremely angry.

In a moment of panic, a middle-aged man in the back row suddenly stood up!

Suddenly, everything went black before his eyes, and he fell straight down!

"Doctor! This place really needs a doctor!"

"Get him out for treatment immediately!"

While the rescue was underway, the scene descended into complete chaos. Some people were trying to push their way out, while others were rushing in, with screams and curses mingling together.

Meanwhile, in the singer's dressing room.

The singers, including Teng Ge'er, had strange expressions.

Everyone's face bore the same expression of absurdity, yet also of relief at surviving a catastrophe.
