Chapter 62 Performance

 The sound came from the second floor of the theater's main hall.

A mysterious man wearing a silver suit and a moon mask stood on the railing on the second floor of the theater with his feet in a pair of shiny crocodile leather shoes.

Yi Chen was also slightly surprised. The smell of the sick person he felt through the gentleman's clothes was stronger than that of the old man in the sewer.

The four of them immediately got into a fighting stance, and Edmund's gun was pointed at the man's abdomen. The loaded large-caliber bullet between the barrels was ready to cut off the target at any time.

However,

Facing the constant murderous intentions of the four human youths,

This mysterious man made no defensive moves at all. Instead, he walked on the railing with an elegant gait like walking a tightrope and began to introduce himself.

“My name is [Elton John], and I am the current owner of this theater.

Although it has only been a few years since I took over from my father, I have been continuously improving the theater, integrating new era style with theater retro style, and am committed to presenting better dramas to the audience.

 But an accident also happened: no audience in this city could enjoy the show here anymore.

 As you can see,

I have been marked by the false moon. Although I have gained abilities beyond imagination, I have been deprived of the qualifications of being a human being and cannot return to my former life.

 Even if my thinking is affected to a certain extent and my world view changes,

 But I still can't let go of the theater inherited from my family. Even if you kill me, I still hope to die in a dramatic way.

certainly,

If you can let go of your inner guard, you are willing to accompany me to perform the final drama.

 As long as it is a qualified performance, I am willing to provide assistance to the best of my ability.

Even if you want to kill me or cut off my skin, you will never resist... As long as you can die on stage, you will be satisfied. "

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

The theater owner had just finished walking a full circle along the railing.

　　With one hand in front and one behind, bow and salute.

　　The four members of the team standing downstairs did not reply immediately, but were waiting for ‘information within the team’.

ˆThe boss is introducing himself

Yichen used his special vision to complete the entire inspection of the main hall of the theater.

 Juliana also sensed the vibrations and confirmed that the only patient here was the boss.

 After comprehensive consideration,

Captain Edmund made a decision and reached out to pat Yi Chen on the shoulder.

“William, it’s up to you to negotiate... As before, if we detect any abnormalities during the conversation, we will take action directly.”

 Yi Chen made an OK gesture, stepped to the center of the stage, and bowed to the boss on the second floor.

 “How to perform?”

"I'm very glad that you can accept my request. The temporary drama requirements are not high. Here are four "character cards"... You need to complete the role adaptation within ten minutes, and then follow my guidance to start the "False Moon Incident" ” performance.

Among these four character cards, Dr. Mycroft is the main character, which determines the quality of the play. Please be sure to let the person with the most acting talent among you play the role. "

He said,

 The boss shoots four cards from his sleeves.

In addition to Dr. Mycroft of the Twilight Clinic, there is also a clinic apprentice and two gentleman investigators stationed in the city.

 The back of the head squirms and the pages of the book turn

Yi Chen completed reading and memorizing the character card in less than thirty seconds.

He then threw three of them to his teammates and said at the same time: "I'll play Dr. Mycroft."

"OK."

Ten minutes were not up yet, Yi Chen raised his hand to signal to the theater owner.

“Oh...have you prepared it in advance? Don’t let me down.

Let us start the final performance of the Old John Theater - "Moonlight".

I, Elton John, will personally play the role of the creator of the fake moon incident, the greatest ‘Moonscar Lord’. "

The boss jumped lightly and landed firmly in the center of the stage.

Snapped!

 Except for one light that shines on the boss, all other lights are turned off.

　　Raise your arms up,

 Two self-luminous moon props are suspended above the stage by thin wires.

 “Ah! What a beautiful full moon,

 Either in pairs, or the reflection of the night sky, or the projection of people's desire for the moon.

When people move their eyeballs and try to peek at the scars on the moon's surface, they seem to see these traces moving, conveying a message.

 Activating and transforming the human brain through visual reception,

 Or inject some kind of virus into it.

 Erase the roots of being a ‘human being’ in your brain, and re-engrave the new identity of a ‘moon citizen’.

 Being drawn by the moon, follow Master Yuehen. "

 At the end of the line,

 The wooden floor used to build the stage began to stir, click! The floor was destroyed, and a hairy hand stretched out.

follow closely,

More and more individuals covered with silver hair crawled out from under the broken stage, howling like wolves at the moon prop hanging in the sky.

Such a scene made the team members slightly shocked.

　　　These are...the Mooners in the early stages of infection? Did it turn out that he was controlled by the boss, piled under the stage, and acted in this drama in his true colors?

 Great, this way you can collect enough inferior moon skins. 』

 At this time,

The boss continued to read the lines.

 “Oh! Invisible guardian of the city of Vinal,

 Elite human beings who call themselves gentlemen,

And Dr. Mycroft’s team from Twilight Clinic, they quickly noticed the large-scale lesions caused by the moon.

 Due to the emergency, they chose to use the most effective and direct treatment method - [massacre].

Our great Lord Yuehen temporarily hid behind the scenes, quietly observing the progress of events. "

While the boss was reading his lines, his body was slowly wrapped in the moonlight and disappeared.

but,

  The visual enhancement provided by the little grape can still capture a human silhouette.

At this time it was Yi Chen and others’ turn to appear.

Hand in every possible way, use your true skills to peel off the moonlight citizens who play their true colors.

 The most efficient one is Juliana,

 The speed, accuracy and completeness of the cut skin are the highest.

 As long as the skin with white hair and moon marks is cut off, these 'actors' will die directly.

 Wait until the stage is completely cleared.

The boss read the lines again:

“Effective ‘treatment’ temporarily suppressed the riots in the city, but the brave and fearless gentlemen also suffered serious casualties.

At this time, our Dr. Mycroft actually used special means to find Master Yuehen hiding in the dark, and the final bell rang in advance. "

 Edmund and the other three exited the stage,

Yichen was the only one left on the stage, and the hidden boss gradually took off his moonlight disguise and revealed his true identity.

 When the two faced each other, the boss read out the lines again.

 “Oh! The moment has finally come!

Dr. Mycroft met Master Yuehen on the top of an abandoned building... However, Dr. Mycroft was very surprised. He seemed to know this silver-haired young man. "

 “How could it be you!”

At this moment, Yi Chen took the initiative to pick up a line, his eyes widened, his face showed shock, and he was completely absorbed in the drama.

“Why can’t it be me, dear Dr. Mycroft~ Thank you very much for the [special treatment] you provided in the clinic, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to stand on the moon.

Please allow me to thank you properly. "

 Fighting broke out.

Yichen fought directly with the boss.

Of course, this kind of ‘fighting’ has a certain performance quality, and some onomatopoeia will even be used to restore the fierce battle situation at that time.

 But Yi Chen deliberately added an element of authenticity to this dramatic fight.

According to the description of the character "Dr. Mycroft loses his right half" in the character card, Yi Chen took the initiative to damage his right half, and was destroyed to a **** pulp by the boss.

finally,

 Screaming with all his strength, he chopped off the boss's head with his knife.

　　The mask on the boss's face was cut in half and fell to the ground... The moon prop hanging above the stage also fell down together, closing!

 The performance is over.

 “Ah! That’s great, you’re great! William, are you okay?”

The boss quickly put on another mask. While satisfied and excited, he immediately stepped forward to care about Yi Chen's injury.

However, Yi Chen controlled the plants to lay a defensive line under the skin beforehand. Although it looked like a mess of flesh and blood, it actually did not damage the core parts, organs or nerve tissue.

This level of pain is just a minor pain.

The boss supported Yi Chen and said excitedly:

“You actually exposed the right half of your body and deliberately let me destroy it.

 Furthermore, there are quite a few performance details in it that I can’t tell the difference between real and fake! What a wonderful presentation of the character, and it doesn’t look like it was a temporary appearance at all.

 Have you had any experience performing before? "

Yi Chen shrugged, "It's not a formal performance. It's just that when I was a kid, I needed to use my 'acting skills' often to make sure that I wouldn't be the unluckiest person."

 “That’s great, you are definitely a real actor.

 According to the agreement, I will assist you as much as possible and inform you of the information I know.

 As for my "Moon Seal" right here, you can peel off my face and kill me at any time. "

  Different from the sewer’s [watchdog], the moon mark is located on the back of the neck.

 The boss took off his mask, and the moon mark fell right between his eyebrows, which seemed to have a special meaning.

 Seeing such a sincere boss, Yi Chen conceived a bolder plan in his mind.

“Mr. John, our mission here is not to purge you... Through the performance exchange just now, I also hope that the theater can continue to be passed down and have the opportunity to be shown to more audiences.

 We won’t kill you, we just need a favor from you,

If you can succeed, please continue to live as a ‘moon citizen’. "
