Meanwhile, in the contestant hall of the main live broadcast room, Bingbing stood at the center of the stage with a professional smile, interviewing the 8 judges. She occasionally played some past escape clips and sometimes threw one or two questions at the contestants. Ordinary viewers may not have noticed anything unusual, assuming today's program had a special schedule and the broadcast start was slightly delayed. But the more observant viewers had already sensed something amiss—Bingbing's performance completely deviated from the usual smooth rhythm of a variety show, and many questions were obviously improvised, with no signs of prior preparation.
This abnormal situation naturally sparked heated discussion in the live broadcast room:
"Something's wrong! Normally the show starts on time, with contestants directly entering the Virtual Escape Pod. Why so slow today?"
"Could it be a equipment malfunction? Maybe they're debugging?"
