Chapter 487

In the end, he received 970 votes.

Only 30 votes away from a perfect score of 1,000.

Terrifying!

This was the highest vote count received by a masked singer since *Masked Singer* began airing, refreshing the highest vote record set by the Ruthless Empress in the previous episode!

At this moment.

Countless Guo Yu fans were excited, even shouting crazily:

"It's steady, completely steady, only 30 votes away from 1,000! How can the Ruthless Empress win?"

"The pressure is on the Ruthless Empress."

"The camera is on her, still no reaction; it seems she doesn't know the severity of the situation."

"Just admit defeat; losing to Heavenly King Guo is something you can brag about for a lifetime."

"What can the Ruthless One use to surpass this vote count?"

"Guo Yu can open the champagne to celebrate!"

"..."

The audience was certain!

Guo Yu receiving 970 votes and taking the championship for this episode was definitely a done deal.

In the comment section,

Many fans of the Ruthless One were also speaking up for her, while at the same time, worrying for her.

"Go Ruthless One."

"I support you."

"Zhou Ru... believe in yourself, you can do it!"

"Even if you lose, it's nothing, after all, the other party is a Heavenly King."

"Pfft, what kind of crow mouth are you? We haven't even competed yet, and you're already saying my Empress lost?"

"I don't see any hope of winning."

"Wife, go! I know she's a wife, but I just like this taste."

"Thief, draw your sword."

"..."

*Masked Singer 3* backstage studio.

General Director Xu Xiang Dong was responsible for on-site control while occasionally looking at the audience's comments.

At this moment, his eyes were flashing with brilliance.

"Guo Yu is a steady winner? Not necessarily!"

He knew the Ruthless Empress was Jiang Yuyan, but the reason he said this wasn't because of their identity.

After all, for an opponent like Guo Yu, even if Jiang Yuyan encountered him, she would need to be cautious to have a chance of winning.

It was because he had heard the Ruthless Empress's rehearsal, heard that song called "Jiu'er"...

That was a song that, even hours after he finished listening to it, still made him feel fiery, explosive, and deeply shocked!

Another representative work of Jiang Yuyan was about to be born!

Guo Yu?

Could he slaughter the charts in last year's December battle of the gods in the music industry?

Probably not.

But Jiang Yuyan plus this song they created could definitely do it!

Xu Xiang Dong could be certain!

"All teams prepare, nuclear energy ahead!" Involuntarily, he shouted to other staff members through his headset.

At the same time.

In the singer's backstage lounge.

Su Xue was sweating for Jiang Yuyan, feeling very nervous.

Although she had great confidence in those twins, Guo Yu's vote count for this song was simply too high.

She might not be able to win.

"Go for it." Su Xue prayed secretly in her heart.

Amidst the reactions of all parties, the Ruthless Empress stepped toward the stage.

On her face was still the ghost mask that looked both laughing and crying; on her body, she wore a red ancient-style Hanfu inside, and a long red cape outside, her aura still fully open as she walked.

Only, this time she didn't wear the hood of the cape, but let her smooth, waterfall-like hair naturally scatter behind her back, letting the evening breeze blow her hair.

Wearing a ghost mask, robes fluttering, hair flying... this was the Ruthless One.

At this moment.

Swish, swish, swish!

All eyes on-site and in front of the livestream were staring at her.

At the same time.

Countless people were discussing.

Many viewers thought she was in a bad situation and couldn't beat the Avenger.

Even the fans supporting the Ruthless Empress didn't have much confidence.

Soon.

The Ruthless Empress stood in the center of the stage.

The live band was also ready.

At this time.

The camera gave the live band a shot.

Generally speaking, for this type of music variety show, because the protagonist is the singing singer, they wouldn't give too many shots of the live band, but here, they did.

And they even gave a close-up of one of the musicians and one of the instruments.

Just a Suona held in that musician's hand!

Fearing that the audience wouldn't see it clearly, the camera stayed on this instrument for at least five seconds!

Suona?

Some viewers with good memories vaguely remembered that at the beginning of this episode, in the shots given to the live band, there was no such musician, nor this instrument!

Immediately, many people were very surprised.

The comments began to surge.

"Holy crap! Why is there a Suona?"

"Never expected to see this underworld instrument on the masked stage."

"What kind of song could possibly use a Suona? I'm very curious."

"Remember the last time I heard the sound of a Suona, it was Jiang Yuyan's song 'Xi'."

"Me too, Jiang Yuyan's use of the Suona is simply amazing."

"Once the Suona comes out, it's either joy or sorrow! Who is the Ruthless Empress trying to send away?"

"Anyway, it won't send me away, I'm sure!"

"Good guy, even the hooligan instrument was brought out! But I feel the Ruthless One can't beat the Suona."

"Suona: Other instruments and singers move aside, I am the protagonist."

"..."

On-site.

The audience and professional judges off-stage were also discussing it one after another.

But it didn't affect Xu Mingyue.

She slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Three seconds later.

Xu Mingyue opened her eyes and nodded to the live band.

Immediately. ===== CHAPTER 488 =====
