Chapter 14: The Golden Mask
From the moment she saw Rod's face, Lucia was completely confused. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Big star or thief, which is his real identity?Rhodes and "Wolf Spirit", which is his original name? or neither. So what Lucia heard in the box was really the wolf's plan, or did she have other intentions?
There are too many questions for Lucia to calm down, but now that she is still on stage, she can't make too many moves. She wriggled her toes, controlling her emotions.
Finally, at the end of the first act, Rhodes said, "Jack, let's go, this is not our world anymore." After that, Lucia finally finished the last line of this scene: "Okay, young master." ”
The curtain slowly fell, and amid a burst of applause, Rodra picked Lucia and ran backstage, hiding in a quiet room where no one was around. Lucia's appearance really startled Rod, whether it was the time or place of her appearance, it was so unexpected, or it caught him off guard.
Of course, Rod understood that Lucia was here for the gem, and no matter how she touched it, how could she be on stage. Tonight alone, Rod didn't want to get entangled with Lucia, he didn't have time or energy, he had more important things to do and didn't want to be disturbed.
"I don't care how you got in, and I'm not in the mood to know, but tonight, please, don't spoil my business!" Rod pushed Lucia into a corner, aggressively.
"Don't spoil your business, do you mean robbery?" Lucia said lightly.
"What?"
"No wonder you have to be masked, it turns out that the big star Rhodes has a part-time job? Or is it not easy to mix up the bandit industry, and you want to act and deceive ignorant women to supplement the family?" Lucia's tone was full of mockery.
"Whatever you want, now is not the time to discuss this. ”
"Of course, we'll have to play in a while, won't we, young master?" continued in a mocking tone.
Rhodes had no choice, he spread his hands: "Although the wild wolf is a gang of robbers, it really hasn't done anything harmful. As for being an actor, I naturally have my purpose. ”
Before Lucia could reply, she was distracted by an eager knock at the door. Rhodes stared in the direction of the door and put his finger to his lips to signal Lucia to remain silent. He cautiously: "Who?"
"Rod, the rabbit is in the hole!"
A sentence that seemed incomparable to Lucia made Rod extremely excited, and he changed three steps to two steps to open the door. Standing outside the door were two sturdy men, with cautious faces.
Rod let them into the room and locked the door. The two of them saw Lucia at a glance and couldn't help but be surprised. One of them pointed at her and said, "Isn't this the little witch of the Golden Monkey Tavern?"
The other apparently knew Lucia as well: "Why is she here?"
I see, not only the "wolf spirit", but also the other members of the wild wolf. Could it be that the entire "Pandora" troupe is the base camp of wild wolves? No, it can't be, if so, will the "wolf spirit" still need to be so sneaky?
"Leave her alone," Apparently, Rod's excitement wasn't on Lucia, "but what you just said is true?"
"Uh-huh, Victor saw him!" said one of them, gesturing at the other. At this time, the two of them remembered that they were still down to business.
Rhodes turned to the man known as Victor, and he nodded: "Just now at the gate, I saw him go up to the second floor, and now he should be in the box." ”
Rod clenched his fists, and Lucia seemed to hear him clenching his teeth: "It's finally time for this day!"
"What do you need us to do?" said the two of them.
Rod patted them on the shoulder: "There is a break of about a quarter of an hour after the end of the second act, and there is no scene for the first thirty minutes of the third act that follows, and I will go to him during this time." Until then, please keep an eye on me. ”
"Are you on your own?" Victor thought, "will there be any danger?"
Rod took a deep breath: "Broken cauldron!"
Lucia is not a person who likes to inquire, and besides, with her friendship with Rod, I am afraid that even if she asks, the other party will not say. Just from the conversation between the three people, Lucia can still tell that this is not a robbery, but it is not a good thing either. Whether it is Rhodes or "Wolf Spirit", at this juncture, no matter what you do, there is a sense of urgency to walk a tightrope. Danger or not is it dangerous, Lucia just has a sense of foreboding.
"Why don't I go with you. Lucia's tone was flat, but the effect was amazing, and the three of them turned their heads at the same time and opened their mouths wide.
"Miss, do you know what I'm going to do?" said Rod helplessly.
Lucia leaned her whole body against the wall, her hands crossed in front of her chest: "Whatever you do, I will follow, unless you give me back the gem." To put it more clearly, I don't care if you're dead or alive, what I care about is where I find gems if you die. ”
As she said this, Lucia's face flashed in her mind, and she couldn't help but shudder again, after all, there were only a few hours left before the deadline she had promised Moan.
"Well," Rod said helplessly, "I promise you, when this matter is over, I will personally visit Mr. Moan at Crescent Moon Manor with the gem, and I ...... There's a business to talk to him about. ”
Some people speak, even if they say it out of the blue, it gives people the impression of being treacherous and slippery. And some people, when they say it, they are loud, and the momentum shown between the lines makes people have to believe and even surrender. Rhodes is such a person, knowing that such a promise is like a blank check, but Lucia just thinks that he will definitely keep his promise. Thinking about it, he became the leader of the wild wolf at a young age, and at the same time played the role of the public lover to the fullest, in addition to his strong martial arts, Rhodes obviously has other characteristics.
Even if she believed in Rod's promise, Lucia still couldn't let it go, the time limit was about to expire, and she was very reluctant to imagine the picture of Mo An throwing out ten thousand taels of gold all over the world to spread a wanted warrant, of course, this was obviously her overthinking. But it's terrible that anxiety is so much with the hands of the clock that it is madly chasing her!
Soon, the second act began. Lucia, who originally needed to be on stage, was forcibly replaced by Rhodes, and in front of the big stars, the unknown director had no right to speak. In this way, Lucia fell easily, and she could also quietly observe and monitor Rod's every move from the side stage. In addition, she paid special attention to another place, the second floor of the stands, facing the box of the stage, and even Rhodes on the stage often skimmed there, and Lucia was of course very interested.
Secretly opened a corner of the curtain, cautiously poked out a little, and the box appeared in the field of vision. Although it was far away, it was still clear that there was a gorgeously dressed man sitting in the box, wearing a strange gold mask, which completely covered his face, leaving only the part of the two eyes, which was eerie.
Oh, this one should be the "rabbit". The more Lucia looked at it, the more furious her heart became, how could all the people she met recently be masked, could they not be seen, or behind that mask, there were some secrets that could not be told to anyone?
