Chapter 185: If she says first, it's first, the Empress is ruthless and doesn't talk much!

Backstage control room.

Chief director Xu Xiangdong looked at everyone at the scene and the reactions of the singers in the lounge, and was almost crazy with joy.

Dancing with excitement, his heart surging.

This was the god-level scene he wanted!

"Such a stage, once broadcast, will definitely shock the whole internet!" Xu Xiangdong thought with quickened breathing.

"Maybe it can even compete with *I Am a Singer* for ratings!"

Thinking of *I Am a Singer*, Xu Xiangdong's eyes glowed.

The public loved to compare music variety shows, especially shows like *I Am a Singer*, *The Voice of China*, and *Masked Singer*, which took singers singing as their main selling point.

Before this, whether in ratings or influence, *Masked Singer* was not as good as *I Am a Singer*.

Even those singers in the music industry, when choosing between the two, would prioritize *I Am a Singer*.

Over time.

It became a vicious cycle.

Because powerful singers were unwilling to come, his program became worse and worse.

But now.

Xu Xiangdong suddenly had the ambition and confidence to compete with the *I Am a Singer* program team.

His gaze turned to the beautiful, tall figure on stage.

Because the person behind that ghost-face mask that looked like it was laughing yet crying was Xu Mingyue!

He already had a trump card in his hand!

Just waiting to play it!

He was looking forward to this trump card shocking the whole internet, shocking the music industry!

……

Studio recording scene.

After Ruthless Empress finished singing, and everyone came back to their senses, the audience, professional judges, and celebrity guests started voting.

Urgent music rang out in the studio.

But the young girl wasn't nervous at this time.

On the contrary, the singers backstage were extremely nervous.

As long as their eyes weren't blind and their ears weren't deaf, they could guess that Ruthless Empress's votes must be very high.

During the time of counting the votes, host Zhao Yong took the stage.

Even though he had hosted *Masked Singer* for who knows how many episodes, he took a deep breath before taking the stage, adjusting his emotions.

"Thanks to Teacher Ruthless Empress for the performance!"

He glanced at the audience below, then looked at the Ruthless Empress beside him, his eyes full of deep curiosity:

"I think the audience at the scene must have the same curiosity as me, wanting to guess your identity. Can you reveal your gender?"

This should be the biggest doubt of the audience at this moment.

In the song "Dala Dala Bengba," Ruthless Empress played five roles, making it impossible to distinguish the tone.

Completely unsolvable!

And looking at the appearance...

Although it looks like a woman, how can you be sure it's a woman?

After all.

Chests can be bought as fake chests.

Wigs can be bought.

If you want a perky butt, you can buy butt pads.

Even skin tone can be whitened with cosmetics.

Moreover, the Ruthless Empress's figure curves were wrapped in a long cloak, making it hard to guess.

"You guess," Xu Mingyue replied in a male voice with the dragon's tone.

Zhao Yong: "..."

Damn.

You guess if I guess.

He felt his head was getting bigger.

Ruthless Empress's answer was clearly the kind of answer girls usually give.

But this voice... was so rough.

Zhao Yong smiled helplessly, his eyes looking at the celebrity guests:

"It seems Teacher Ruthless wants to keep the mystery for a while longer!"

"This difficult problem, let's leave it to our guests to handle, Teacher Dula..."

Dula was the female celebrity among the celebrity guests.

She leaned close to the microphone, her beautiful eyes examining Ruthless Empress and asking: "May I ask Teacher Ruthless, when you go to the bathroom, do you go to the men's room? Or the women's room?"

As soon as the words fell.

The audience was a bit restless, praising Dula one after another.

This question really hit the nail on the head.

As long as it was determined whether Ruthless Empress was a man or a woman, half of the singers in the music industry could be ruled out.

Mingyue picked up the microphone and replied: "Women's room."

However, this time she used the boy's male voice.

The high level of lying is to be half-true and half-false.

Let them guess.

Sure enough.

The audience and guests were confused again.

"Listening to your words is like listening to words."

"She gave the answer, but I don't dare to believe it."

Next.

The celebrity guests asked some more questions.

But they were all easily handled by Xu Mingyue.

Subsequently.

It was the professional judges' evaluation of the song.

In the end.

Ruthless Empress received 895 votes.

93 votes more than Queen of Hearts.

It was almost close to a full vote.

The whole scene was another exclamation.

However, backstage.

The fifth singer to take the stage, wearing a "forgive-me-green" color and dressed as a dinosaur, was panicking.

Ruthless Empress had already blown up the stage, even more fiery and explosive than Queen of Hearts' performance!

How could he follow this stage?

……

After learning the vote count, the young girl left the stage.

At the entrance of the passage, in the waiting area.

Cao Dan opened her mouth slightly, widened her beautiful eyes, and stupidly watched the Ruthless Empress, wearing a cyan cloak and a ghost-face mask, walking toward her!

From the moment Ruthless Empress sang the first voice, she had been in a state of shock.

She still hadn't come back to her senses.

She didn't expect that this contestant, whom she had determined in her heart would only last one episode, would have such strong strength.

"First!"

In a daze, the words Ruthless Empress had said in the lounge rang in Cao Dan's ears.

"She just told the truth," she thought to herself.

At the same time.

She took a reassurance pill.

Indeed, when the program aired, Ruthless Empress would definitely be mocked and criticized by the audience for that "first," but when the program aired to the part where Ruthless Empress sang "Dala Dala Bengba," those audience members would definitely be slapped in the face.

Thinking of this.

Cao Dan couldn't wait to see the program broadcast.

"Let's go, off work."

Suddenly, Ruthless Empress's cold voice rang in Cao Dan's ears.

She woke up instantly.

At this time.

That cyan figure had already walked into the passage, aura fully unleashed, walking forward.

"She might be able to make it to the end of the program..." For no reason, this thought popped into Cao Dan's mind.

Tonight, the shock Ruthless Empress gave her was truly a bit too much, and then she followed quickly, her heart already full of confidence.

Following Ruthless Empress, her screen time would definitely not be small.

Of this, she was certain.

Even if Ruthless Empress was always "ruthless and doesn't talk much," the audience would still pay attention to her.

This was the charm belonging to the strong!

……

Around 8 PM.

All six masked singers finally finished singing.

In the end, Ruthless Empress received the most votes and became first for this episode.

The fifth singer, [Pure Little Dinosaur], failed to follow Ruthless Empress's performance, receiving only 437 votes, a miserable count, the lowest of the night, and was eliminated.

Without comparison, there is no harm; his stage compared to Ruthless Empress's stage was too different.

The third singer, [Rusty Robot], entered the waiting list.

Surprisingly, the sixth singer, [Wandering Mage], actually received 780 votes, becoming third for the episode.

[Queen of Hearts] became second.

At the end of the program.

[Pure Little Dinosaur] walked onto the stage alone and took off his mask; it was actually a first-tier actor from the entertainment industry, and the audience was surprised.

But they also understood why he couldn't follow Ruthless Empress.

After such a god-level stage bombing, even if a Diva or King came, they might not be able to follow it.

Let alone a non-professional singer.

Thus.
