Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager Chapter 234

Chapter 234 The winner is—

 The finals are proceeding in an orderly manner.

 Xia Mi sat in the front row seat, always paying attention to the changes in popularity.

 So far, the popularity of the 11 players is at a relatively balanced level, and there is no obvious gap.

 Although voting has now begun, viewers are not in a hurry to cast their only chance to vote.

Soon, after several rounds of team performances, judges began to comment on different contestants.

It was then that Xia Mi learned that the popularity vote was divided into two aspects, one was the audience's vote, and the other was the judges' vote.

Theo has a special status. As an invited judge, the contestants he votes for can win the Best Newcomer Award.

There is no doubt that Theo's vote will bring considerable exposure, which will greatly affect the voting preferences of the audience inside and outside the stadium.

 “In this case, Theo can't vote randomly...”

Xia Mi murmured and found something wrong.

"Huh? Aren't there 12 contestants? From the beginning to now, there is no skeleton at all, and the popularity value has always been 0."

Xia Mi looked for traces of the skeleton on the stage in confusion.

At this time, he saw Rooney, who was so angry that his beard was bristle, walking out from behind the stage.

“Director Rooney, where is the mannequin you recommended?”

Xia Mi asked curiously.

"Don't mention it, the guys from the organizer actually refused to let the mannequin participate in the rehearsal on the grounds that [the mannequin cannot move independently]. The mannequin finally passed through many competitions, but unexpectedly he lost his performance on stage just before the finals. Qualification! Shady story! Rematch!”

Rooney gritted his teeth angrily, but did not dare to speak loudly, so he could only growl angrily.

Xia Mi smiled apologetically.

 No, the fact that the skeleton has reached this point is already the biggest shady story.

“However, there is still a glimmer of hope. Teacher Edogawa, have you seen the cross at the top of the stage?”

Rooney sat next to Xia Mi, raised his hand and pointed at the center of the stage.

Xia Mi followed Rooney's gaze and noticed that there was a skeleton nailed to a cross.

 “Wait! Isn't that a skeleton?! I thought it was a stage decoration!”

“That's right, because of my presence, the organizer didn't dare to blatantly disqualify the mannequin from participating. In the end, it gave a mannequin a chance to appear.”

“It doesn't matter whether you have this opportunity or not…”

Rooney looked at Xia Mi sincerely and took out two voting crystals.

“Edogawsensei, let's join forces! Vote for the hidden 12th contestant and make him a real idol, thereby breaking the organizer's ugly racial discrimination!”

“Director Rooney, you must be responsible for saying such things! The organizer obviously has no racial discrimination!”

Xia Mi immediately drew a clear line.

“Furthermore, the audience present did not notice the fact that the mannequin contestant was not there. Everyone did not remember the existence of this contestant at all.”

How could Xia Mi vote for a skeleton who had no chance of winning? The latter had already been left hanging in a strange place.

 But Rooney didn't seem to hear Xia Mi's words and ran out of the field alone.

 “Next, let's take a short intermission and have a more exciting final performance later!”

 Not long after, the host's voice fell.

 half-time break.

 At the judges' table, Theo stood up and walked slowly to the back of the stage.

 Xia Mi followed.

 The two met for the second time in the men's restroom.

“I said, Theo, your vote seems to have a lot of impact on the outcome of the final.”

Xia Mi hung a sign under maintenance at the door, then sensed the situation in the entire bathroom. After confirming that there were only two people, he slowly spoke to Theo.

Theo, who was standing in front of the urinal to urinate, slowly raised his head.

“Yeah, I didn't expect that I would sometimes influence others to stay or go.”

Xia Mi was about to say something when Theo turned his head.

“But don't worry, I've already decided who to vote for.”

Xia Mi was a little surprised. It was only halfway through the finals, but Theo had already found a suitable candidate based on his aesthetics?

Theo looked around and whispered.

 “I'm going to vote for No. 9, the girl with gray hair.”

Xia Mi has an impression of this gray-haired girl. She has always been in the middle of the popularity rankings.

 “But contestant No. 9 looks very normal!”

Xia Mi was extremely puzzled.

Theo waved and asked Xia Mi to come to him.

“The main thing is, if I vote for her, I won't have to sleep in the old teaching building anymore.

Haven't I told you before that after I arrived in San Carno, I was the only one left in the entire convoy? Although I successfully connected with the school, I didn't even have a penny, so it was a problem where I could settle down. In order to protect my identity, I couldn't tell anyone about my actual situation, so I had to secretly camp in the abandoned old teaching building of the school. "

“It turns out that the protagonist of one of the seven incredible events on campus [there are aliens secretly building a base in the old teaching building] is you!”

Xia Mi got the truth at an unexpected time and became the detective who successfully solved the seven incredible incidents on the two campuses.

“It is true that many students liked to run to the old teaching building at that time. In order to prevent myself from being discovered, I had to hide here and there.”

 Theo explained, returning to the topic.

"That girl with gray hair is the daughter of the Mushroom Group. An agent found me. As long as I vote for her, I will get 100,000 gold coins at the end of the game. I have been out for so long, and I have the most streaks. I don't even have 10 gold coins. If I have this money, I can go back to the village.”

 “Is there any interest involved behind the competition?”

Xia Mi frowned, not expecting that Theo had already reached such an underground agreement with others.

However, Theo's willingness to tell him this matter shows that Theo does regard him as a buddy.

Theo sighed.

"This is how the game is...otherwise I would have voted for No. 8. No. 8 is the most powerful player. - Although it is a bit against his conscience, he really gave a lot..."

Theo said slowly.

 Xia Mi immediately remembered which player No. 8 was.

 That 200-pound, 1.5-meter beautiful girl with multiple identities such as black, gay, vegetarian, environmentalist, animal rights activist, and openly LGTBQ.

  No. 8 is a proper fake contestant. The organizer specially selected him to enter the finals in order to avoid attacks from niche groups.

After entering the finals, the public's aesthetics has not been affected by extreme groups, and the popularity of contestant No. 8 has been at the bottom.

If Theo voted for No. 8, it would not have much impact on the game. According to normal development, the four girls would still be able to secure the top four positions through audience votes.

 The situation is not certain for player No. 9. The gray-haired girl is still a pretty pretty girl. If Theo votes, it might change the situation.

Xia Mi couldn't possibly change the outcome of the final, so he looked at Theo with sharp eyes.

 “Don't let a little money blind you, Theo.”

"I know. But I can give you 10,000 gold coins."

 Theo looked at Xia Mi seriously.

 Xia Mi was touched by Theo's sincerity for a few tenths of a second.

  NND, now it's not a question of whether to divide the money or not!

Xia Mi stepped forward calmly and shook Theo's shoulders.

"Theo, do you think it is easy to reach the finals? What do the other nine players on the court think? Are you abandoning fairness and justice because of your own selfish interests, thus making all their hard work come to nothing? ” ˆ ˜ Theo was also lost in thought.

 “Why 9?”

 “Don't worry about this.”

“Theo, I know what kind of person you are, don't do things that go against your heart.”

Xia Mi used his mouth escape, poured some chicken soup into Theo, and pushed Theo's chest with his fist.

Having been together for so long, Xia Mi knew that Theo still had the last bit of humanity left, even though his usual behavior was very bad.

“Follow your heart, Theo. Think about what your choice would be if the other contestants were a village widow and a lamb..."

 “This kind of scene is completely unimaginable!”

 The intermission ended quickly.

 Xia Mi and Theo returned to their respective seats.

Looking at Theo, who was sitting at the judges' table with a thoughtful expression on his face, Xia Mi knew that his mouth escape was successful.

As the finals entered the second half, everyone voted one after another, and the popularity of the contestants gradually widened.

 The four girls quickly took the lead in popularity, but other girls were also quietly catching up.

A portal slowly appeared in the woods on the outskirts of San Carno City.

A figure over two meters tall slowly walked out of the portal. The moonlight passing through the treetops slowly fell on the figure, illuminating the pink skin of a very macho man.

The pink cow looked around furtively and then waved back.

 After a while, hundreds of tauren walked out of the portal, and the scene became very strange for a while.

“Does everyone remember what I said?”

 The pink bull stood in front of the tauren and once again emphasized the purpose of coming here.

“We are here this time to vote for Lulea, the most beautiful demon girl in the world! You are not allowed to wander around later. You must obey my command and make absolutely no noise. Do you understand?”

 “Moo!”

All the tauren shouted in unison, and the sound resounded through the sky, frightening the birds in the entire forest.

 The tauren hugged each other.

After a while, there was no other movement.

"Bastards! Have some brains! Fortunately, the teleportation point is far away from the city, otherwise we would have been discovered."

The pink bull scolded the bulls, but he did not blame his compatriots too much. After a few warnings, the minotaurs put on the black robes they had prepared in advance and walked slowly towards the city of San Carno.

Tonight is Carnival Night in the City of San Carno, and the whole city is intoxicated in the joyful atmosphere of the Idol Contest.

 The city of San Carno is brightly lit, and in front of the polling stations set up on the streets, people come to vote from time to time. Compared with buying a voting crystal to vote, going to a polling station to vote does not cost money, and it is the only choice for many supporters of free prostitution.

On the outskirts of San Carno, a small polling station stood alone in the darkness.

 This is a polling station very far away from the city center. It looks like a newsstand. There is only one girl in charge of the polling station.

　　A girl with many freckles on her cheeks sat in the voting booth, holding her cheeks up in boredom, looking out into the dark night.

“This place can no longer be called a suburb, but a suburb... Until now, not a single person has come to vote... In fact, to be honest, no one lives near here at all..."

 “It's useless to memorize this completely unnecessary manual...”

The girl was complaining and throwing the staff handbook on the ground, when suddenly a gust of cool wind blew.

 The girl slowly raised her head and looked outside.

A group of tall figures in black robes slowly walked out of the darkness and came to the polling station. With the lights of the polling station, the girl saw the thick arms of the people in front of them, who were almost three meters tall, like hills. muscles.

 I wipe it! A gathering of fitness geeks?

Xia Mi has given many monsters human language packages so that when these monsters are abducted, they can know where they were abducted and the identity of the other party.

 Pink Niu Niu slowly opened his mouth.

“Is this the voting station for the idol contest?”

"Yes, it is."

 The girl nodded.

 “We want to vote.”

Pink Niu Niu looked at the girl. At this time, a gust of wind blew Pink Niu Niu's robe open, revealing the pink muscles all over her body.

 Oops, I was seen!

 Pink Niu Niu panicked.

 The girl's expression just changed briefly and quickly calmed down.

“Then come on over. Each person can only vote once.”

 Pink Niu Niu was slightly surprised and pointed at himself.

"that…"

"Ah, I'm sorry if I misunderstood you, but I completely respect this kind of thing. Whether you like to be furry or tattoo liberal, our competition side fully respects your personal behavior. "

 The pink cow touched its horns and its pink skin.

“Also, I don't like big muscular men. If you want to force me, I will press this button and the police will be called directly.”

“We just wanted to vote.”

Seeing that the girl didn't realize the demon's identity at all, Pink Niu Niu and his tauren warriors lined up neatly and started voting.

 “Is it true that one person can only have one vote?”

"Of course. Unless you are not a human being, if the voting crystal recognition is wrong, you can cast a few more votes."

"oh…"

 In the gymnasium.

Originally, the popularity of the four girls increased evenly, but it seemed that due to some unknown off-site factors, the popularity of the four girls skyrocketed and quickly surpassed the others.

 Xia Mi was very nervous.

 He also needs to cast his crucial vote.

 Looking at the four girls, he hesitated.

 It seems that no matter who you vote for at this time, it will be unfair to the remaining three, but if you don't vote, you will waste an opportunity.

 “I'm sorry, Lulea is a fool, let's take care of her.”

 Xia Mi finally voted for the flat golden retriever.

 In the cheers of the stadium.

 The finals are gradually coming to an end.

 There are only fifteen minutes left before the deadline for popularity voting.

 The current popularity ranking is roughly as follows:

 Lureia, Lina, Seri, and Elze are the four demon girls in the lead, and their popularity is evenly matched.

The remaining normal players have different popularity levels, but they are far behind the top four girls.

The number 8 anti-counterfeiting player is at the bottom.

 Skeleton: 0
