On the night of the New year's Eve, the big national tv event would start at 8 pm. Even though the rating slid as the years went by, many families still tuned into the show. Some through tv and others through the internet.
At the backstage where there was no camera, Phecda members patrolled the stage with the local security. This was not an actual live broadcast, there was a certain delay and some pre-recorded segments. This was to allow leeway for minor accidents. However, if a big tragedy happened, the event would crumble, and it would naturally cause serious consequences. A big stage like this was perfect for the Conqueror Worm so no one dared to let their guard down. Gu Jun had warned Phecda about this concern as well. Because of that, Xie Yiman would be absent from the event. Those attending the Phecda segment were members who had no participation in the Mutated Scale Disease.
