There was no catwalk, and the contestants were staircased by a wide carved wooden staircase.

They came over at just the right time, and after listening to the band's loud warm-up music, a beam of chasing light hit the stairs.

The students on the dance floor stopped dancing frantically, standing or sitting, looking up at the stairs from the hall on the first floor, and the people pouring out of the rooms on the second floor stood on the hollow-shaped verandah, looking down at the movement on the stairs.

William appeared under the chasing light, and he solemnly announced: "The 178th Halloween Costume Contest is about to kick off!" There are 181 contestants who take turns to show off their attire, and each has only 30 seconds. After all the contestants are displayed, the student union will announce the voting results, and we will award the top three in this competition with crystal trophies specially made by the organizing committee of the competition. In addition, they will also receive 3,000, 2,000 and 1,000 yuan in summer program scholarships for these students to participate in the summer camp. This year's competition is sponsored by Sir Sidney Jr., our Class of '83 (graduated in 1983), and on behalf of all of us, I would like to thank Sir Sidney Jr. for his generosity ......"

William left the stage, and the demons and monsters took turns to appear, and they did their best to show off their costumes to the onlookers.

After Isabella, dressed as the Mother of Dragons in Game of Thrones, sang a high-pitched opera, the competition seemed to turn on the talent show.

Dressed in a blood-stained kimono and cloaked in a cape, Kim Sun-young performed a dance on the stairs, flying lightly and kicking her legs, swinging her waist gracefully, and her beautiful dancing posture was amazing.

Dressed in colorful Arabic costumes and holding a magic lamp in his hand, Rogers defied the usual norm of not smiling, and stood on the stairs and told a political talk show, which drew laughter from upstairs and downstairs.

Samson walked up the stairs in heavy armor and a visor, and was surprised by a rap to the applause of his weight-bearing locking moves.

Bai Xinrui, the cold dark demon queen dressed in black, said a pre-written canvassing declaration in a sweet baby voice......

The onlookers commented on the contestants' costumes, makeup and catwalk performances, some liked this, some liked that, and the scene was spectacular.

Halfway through the game, Vivien came on.

Chasing the light hit her feathers, she first made a few simple and clean movements, showing off her feather crown, feather skirt and big wings, suddenly, she spread her wings and flapped hard, swooping down from the upper floor, and when she reached the last few steps, relying on inertia, she actually floated steadily to the ground after a few seconds in the air, like a real big bird.

The upstairs and downstairs classmates responded with long-lasting applause, and they all said that Vivien's costume was perfect.

After a while, Daniel took Lauren's hand and appeared in the center of the light chaser, one of them was tall and handsome, and the other was graceful and weird, forming a strong visual impact.

Lauren is a professional model, leaving her mark on the world's best fashion runways, not to mention the catwalks in the school's old wooden house.

Lauren walked up and down the stairs, the long wedding dress that dragged the floor made her look like a real bride, her slender figure was unmatched, the bright red blood on the wedding dress and the ghostly makeup looming behind the veil, as if it was just to show a kind of alternative youth.

Undoubtedly, she was successful. Her every move firmly caught everyone's attention, and people watched this illusory and real picture with bated breath, for fear that she would disappear like an epiphany.

When she was about to leave, she suddenly took off her veil, revealing a terrifying and hideous face, and in just this second, everyone's heartbeat soared up collectively.

The contrast between beauty and horror is so strong that it's a suffocating shock.

After a long time, the students realized that this was not real, but just a kind of costumed dress. It's all just for this fashion show today.

A tidal wave of applause rang out for Lauren.

Chenchen saw some clues, and said to Wen Jin and Yi Ting: "I can see clearly, the Halloween costume show is basically divided into two major factions, one is the handicap party, such as Kevin and your brother Wei, they can only rely on all kinds of strange costumes and headdresses to win; On the other hand, there are makeup experts, who can use their own conditions to create a terrifying effect by applying smears on their bodies and faces. If you can say that you can blend the two into one, and the most outstanding performance, it is Lauren. Look at how elaborate her costumes are, and her makeup is absolutely scary, both of which are first-class and not lost to professional makeup artists......"

"Stop, stop!" Wen Jin didn't like to listen to it, "Lauren is indeed impeccable, and she is also our good friend, but, who said just now that his vote was definitely for Vivian?" You're going to talk and count! In any case, we must support our own people in the United States. ”

Chenchen smiled: "Okay, good, I will never break my promise...... However, you have to admit the reality, even if you add the votes of the three of us, it will be difficult for Wei Ge to come out on top this year. ”

"The second place is also very good, the 2000 US dollar summer program scholarship is enough to take one credit at Harvard University, if it is a summer program with a little water, the family basically does not have to pay a penny." Wen Jin said enviously: "So, you must vote for Vivian and put her on the top of the ranking!" ”

At this point in the competition, the first place in everyone's hearts seems to have already settled, and there is no strong response to the subsequent displays.

"Brother Wei has to be second, there is no suspense at all!"

On the long staircase, the crowd died down, and William reappeared, and with a wave of his hand, the noise and chatter of the upstairs and downstairs immediately stopped.

With the domineering spirit of a king, he looked at the classmates upstairs and downstairs, and said loudly: "Next, please continue to dance, continue to carnival, and wait patiently for a few minutes, and our statistics will come out immediately." ”

The music on the dance floor started again, but most of the students had no intention of dancing, and they were talking about the Halloween costume contest in groups of five, guessing who would win the top three prizes.

"Please vote for Stella, her Night Demon Queen is the most vivid!"

"The Night Demon Queen with both god and form, the undisputed best costume look!"

Amy, Amanda, and Vicky are promoting Bai Xinrui, and Miss Bai, as the heroine, is only responsible for smiling and waiting for her classmates to come and sign autographs and take photos with her, however, the annoying thing is that everyone's attention does not seem to be on her.

"I'm Vivian, she looks like an archangel from heaven today!" Nicholas, a black boy dressed as the Hulk, said as he loosened the white straps that had been tied to his body for hours for Mr. Luke, who was dressed as a mummy.

"Oh, don't you see? The crown on Lauren's head is a one-to-one replica of the coronation crown of Queen Isabella of Spain, look at her makeup, and look at her costume, only if she wins first place I believe that this competition is fair. Bastian, who played Gandalf, spoke impassionedly.

When everyone was talking about it, Chenchen saw Vivien and Lauren appear, the two of them looked at each other sympathetically, and then, amicably hugged each other, and talked very intimately, Lauren seemed to have handed over something to Vivian, and when they walked to the door of the house, they both politely asked each other to go first.

As soon as they appeared, the crowd immediately swarmed around them, some took out their mobile phones to take pictures of them, some competed to take pictures with them, and some asked them all kinds of brain-opening questions.

Vivien and Lauren patiently and enthusiastically responded to the students' questions and small requests, and the room of demons and monsters actually got along in a harmonious atmosphere.
