THE stage stretched wide, dominated by two massive screens - one mounted high on the left wall, another equally large on the right. Their size ensured even spectators in the back rows would see every detail projected.
On the stage itself, ten pod-like structures stood arranged in two groups - five pods on the left side, five on the right. They were sleek, capsule-shaped units with opaque glass fronts, each large enough to comfortably hold one person.
Bright spotlights illuminated the pods from above, making their smooth surfaces gleam under the arena lights. The setup created a clear division down the center of the stage, almost like a high-tech battlefield waiting for its combatants.
Then a handsome man in a tailored navy suit and a stunning woman in a silver qipao-style dress walked confidently to center stage. The moment their images appeared on both massive screens, deafening screams erupted from the audience.
