The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 351: improv

Ten minutes before Katherine stepped onto the stage.

The three of Sean quietly sneaked into the background.

At this time, it was close to the last big play in the palace. All the actors had already made up and dressed and were ready to appear.

Walking into the backstage, what shocked Yueguang's soul was that he found that all the waiting actors were standing in the dark backstage like puppets.

"They..." Sean and Moonlight smelled a strong corpse stench when they looked at the actors with thick makeup on their faces.

"they are……"

Catherine was obviously a little nervous, but she shook her head and motioned Moonlight not to say it.

Led by the actress, the three of them walked among the standing actors.

Their bodies were rigid, they smelled of dead people, and their faces painted with white and red oil had no expressions.

At this time, Sean entered that state again, the state that shielded the senses and emotions.

He just gritted his teeth, bit his head, and walked forward.

It felt like walking through a dark, deadly, putrid wax museum.

The eye sockets of those wax figures suddenly widened, and their cloudy eyes stared at a few uninvited guests!

Can't look at them, can't look at each other...

Sean meditated.

After walking like this, finally, the three of them came to the costume stand.

Catherine hurriedly found two costumes on the hanger. One set to wear, the other to Sean: "I'm going to play a duchess, and you're my knight...

"We will play the person who doesn't tell the truth in the story!"

Moonlight asked, "What about me?"

"You are in charge of the accompaniment - their orchestra will not adjust the soundtrack because we modify the plot without authorization."

"Okay..." Yueguang suddenly realized that he didn't need to squeeze through the pile of dead people together, and sighed helplessly.

While putting on a costume with obvious flavor, Sean asked, "Is this possible?

"We modified the script without authorization, will these actors cooperate with us?"

"They can only cooperate." Catherine had already put on a luxurious purple dress, "No matter what happens on the stage, it is the nature of actors to keep the performance going smoothly.

"They can't spoil the drama itself, they can't spoil the feelings of the audience.

"So, even if the story is changed, as long as it can end successfully, they can only cooperate!

"That's the essence of the show."

Sean immediately understood that only the actor Catherine could think of the idea: the most important thing in a drama is the integrity and uninterrupted experience.

And all the elements in the drama itself, including the actors, will be hijacked helplessly in order to maintain this integrity and smoothness.

Unless, there are more autonomous actors on the stage, forcibly reverse Katherine's improvisation.

But... Sean looked around at the actors with pale faces.

He knew that it was impossible for these "puppets" to be autonomous.

Therefore, although Catherine's plan is bold, it is feasible!

"However, we may anger the owner of this theater." Catherine said, "unexpected things may happen. However, at least a normal story can keep the safety of the souls of this group of audiences.

"As for what kind of conflict we will have with 'that', that will be after the curtain falls."

On the stage, George is breaking through the first level.

The curtain was pulled open little by little, and the lights illuminated the "puppets" who were originally in the background.

The originally quiet puppet suddenly came alive...

Unspeakably weird.

In a hurry, Catherine handed over a mask.

Sean put the iron mask on his face, covering his face without makeup.

Catherine herself donned her "Violet Nightingale" - which went surprisingly well with her character and outfit.

At the last moment before the light of the stage illuminated them, Catherine said with her lips: Don't panic, just follow me...

Acting? How to act? Acting what?

A burst of white light made the confused Sean dizzy.

At this moment, he was helpless: how could he still perform on stage after a mission? ! -I'm just a reporter!

……

"It's you!"

Seeing George with blood-stained armor raising a big sword at a guest, Catherine shouted in a tone that ran throughout the hall.

Like the sound of a thunderbolt, with the moonlight just right, overshadowing the piano sound of the original soundtrack...

Made George stop and looked suspiciously in the direction of the sound.

Catherine, wearing the "Violet Nightingale" mask, walked out of the crowd dignifiedly, and behind her was Sean wearing an iron mask.

The focus of the performance on the stage was obviously biased towards the woman in the gorgeous purple dress, and the spotlight naturally slid onto her.

Catherine observed George and said aloud, "I see your posture and movements, just like that heroic knight who surpassed my attendants...

"Are you the knight who won the championship?"

Catherine looked at Martin, the nobleman, and sighed doubtfully, "Then who is he?"

The script was temporarily overhauled, and Groom George didn't know how to react, but just stopped the action.

The king sitting high on the throne leaned down, as if interested in what happened.

Princess Lopetti looked around in surprise, wondering what happened.

Martin, who was already in the role, squeezed through the crowd with twitching corners of his mouth, and came between Catherine and Groom George.

He knew that it was George who killed the meeting—but he had to cover up everything, so he tried to take control of the situation: "This lady, I don't know who you are, but you seem to have done something wrong..."

Catherine suppressed Martin's weak voice of defense and said, "I'm afraid there are some hidden secrets...

"Mihawk, my knight, no one in this world can beat you, except the masked knight...

"You go and try the two of them~lightnovelpub.net~ Who is the real hero?"

The spotlight shone on Sean. He had never performed before. He nodded and made a gesture: "OK."

Catherine looked at Sean with some dissatisfaction, and tilted her head toward the auditorium.

The knight "Mihawk" looked at the audience, and his heart suddenly shuddered.

He saw more than 300 pairs of eyes, illuminated by the light on the stage, staring brightly at the stage——

At this moment, the audience is fully engaged.

Perhaps, the next scene will be remembered by them for a lifetime.

Can you treat me frivolously?

Sean suddenly felt a pressure, and this pressure made him feel that he had really transformed into an ancient warrior.

He elegantly bowed his sword to the archduke he was loyal to: "I will obey your orders, my lady!"

The princess in purple robe nodded in satisfaction.

The moonlight in the background began to play impassioned music.

In order not to show confusion, the entire orchestra had to play along with the sound of the piano.

Sean pressed his sword and approached the panic-stricken Martin step by step...
