After the Blood Puppet's performance concluded, his supporters fell silent. The disparity between the two artists was obvious. Under these circumstances, the Wolf Fang team was essentially out of the running for this round. The expressions of the judges on the judging panel relaxed. If Wolf Fang were eliminated, Moyan's difficulties on the show would be significantly reduced. Judging by the Blood Puppet's performance, the audience's decision to vote for him was understandable. Finally, they wouldn't have to vote for that repulsive Wolf Fang!
"Unbelievable, Blood Puppet actually has such powerful skills. The competition situation truly changes in an instant. Now, let's invite the last singer from the losers' bracket, White Day Rabbit!"
As the host finished speaking, White Day Rabbit took the stage. Her headwear differed from Dark Night Rabbit's. Dark Night Rabbit had a completely black head, giving off a strange aura, while White Day Rabbit's was a white rabbit head with pink ears, looking exceptionally cute. However, her first song, sung with a husky voice, didn't quite match her image. Typically, such a cute rabbit would sing cute songs.
"It seems White Day Rabbit isn't very nervous either?"
"Indeed, White Day Rabbit's steps onto the stage clearly indicate she's at ease."
"Does she have a trump card too?"
"Impossible, even with a trump card, she couldn't possibly defeat Blood Puppet. After all, Cheng Hongtao is the king of rock!"
"It's also possible that White Day Rabbit knows she's bound to lose and no longer cares."
Amidst the audience's speculation, the final match of the losers' bracket began. The stage lights gradually dimmed. The stage was bare, with no surrounding set or even microphone stands. White Day Rabbit stood at the center of the stage, bathed in a spotlight, exuding a sense of loneliness. Then, the song information appeared.
"Suffering"
Performed by: White Day Rabbit
Lyrics: Ting Yu
Music: Ting Yu
When the audience saw the song's information, there was a moment of silence, followed by a flood of comments that completely obscured the screen!
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap! Ting Yu's new song???"
"Hahaha, surprised, aren't you?"
"Does this mean White Day Rabbit is really Ting Yu's singer?"
"Hiss… I can't accept this. This rabbit is really the singer Ting Yu chose. Then why didn't she sing Ting Yu's song for her first performance?"
"Who knows? Maybe Ting Yu hadn't finished writing enough songs, since he had to write for Dark Night Rabbit and White Day Rabbit."
This news was too unbelievable. Although everyone had suspected before that this rabbit might have a connection to Ting Yu, that suspicion vanished after her first song. After all, White Day Rabbit's performance wasn't particularly stunning, and she didn't sing one of Ting Yu's new songs. Yet, now this situation had arisen, with White Day Rabbit singing another new song by Ting Yu. This left many viewers struggling to accept it.
"Back then, you were just a fleeting bird,
After the embrace, only feathers remained in my hand.
Why did you bother to waste,
So much coffee and roses, to disturb me…"
The accompaniment was only the low hum of a piano, with a very slow tempo. The husky voice from the previous song was gone, replaced by a low, melancholic tone. On stage, White Day Rabbit seemed trapped in a dark room, her voice echoing within, creating a sense of lonely oppression. It made the audience's chests feel heavy.
"I want to think quietly,
On the scales, let love and hate no longer waver.
One thought of you and I can't find balance,
I turn off the lights, but I can't turn off this storm…"
This depicted a common scenario: after a breakup, someone heartbroken reminisces about the past, recalling the early days of their relationship, yet unable to escape the pain. Often, a good cry or a loud argument can help one move on quickly. However, many people, after breaking up, remain calm as if nothing happened. These individuals often suffer more intensely. They don't break down, but they find it hard to forget. Late at night, to avoid thinking of that person, they prefer to sleep with the lights on, knowing that when the world turns black, that person deep in their heart will emerge clearly. At this point, the breakdown is merely one's own torment.
"It's uncommon for Ting Yu to release love songs…"
"I have to say, the emotional rendering in the verses of this song is definitely top-tier for love songs!"
"I'm stunned. I just broke up, and every lyric is piercing my heart…"
Ting Yu rarely released purely romantic songs, which is why netizens had always wanted him to participate in "Love Song King." Ting Yu had released many ancient-style songs and inspirational songs, but the proportion of sad love songs was not large. However, listening to this one, it truly evoked a sense of sadness, especially for those who had experienced similar emotions, having been infected by the suppressed feelings.
"With a skip of my heart, love begins to suffer,
Every minute, every second.
The fire burns, how good it would be if it turned to ashes,
To quiet the longing.
I believe I'm almost there,
Almost forgetting you,
Making peace with loneliness…"
The moment the chorus hit, many audience members gasped. Was the chorus of this song that high? Although White Day Rabbit's delivery was gentle, using falsetto and head voice to soften the impact of the high notes, the explosive difficulty was still palpable. Furthermore, her control was astonishing. Was this the same White Day Rabbit who had sung folk music earlier?
"What cannot be obtained, do not beg for,
How to act, no one needs to tell me.
At the bottom of the sea, where I've fallen too deep,
I can only rely on myself…"
However, as the accompaniment gradually intensified, the feeling of loneliness gradually spiraled out of control. It was like a person quietly crouching in a corner suddenly erupting with immense power. Before anyone could react, the second chorus of the song exploded, stunning the entire venue!
"With a skip of my heart, love begins to suffer,
Every minute, every second.
The fire burns, how good it would be if it turned to ashes,
To quiet the longing!!"
Invisible waves of sound washed over the venue. The sudden burst caused the faces of the audience members to contort! Just as everyone had anticipated, the first chorus was intentionally rendered softly, while the second was the main event. Moreover, this outburst directly hit the core. It was like a loss of sanity, a hysterical outburst, or a desperate attempt to shake off the heart-wrenching past!
"Ahhh! Such strong explosive power!"
"Indeed, such immense vocal pressure!"
"She sings so well, it's making me frantic!"
"Too strong, and the difficulty of this song is practically insane!"
At this moment, everyone finally realized that White Day Rabbit's strength was not as weak as they had imagined. On the contrary, it was outrageously powerful.
