The rain in Egrim always came and went, and last night there was still thunder and rain, and by morning everything was calm, and although there was still a lot of water on the ground, and the temperature had dropped considerably, the warm sun was still the same, and the crescent manor was quiet and peaceful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Completely different from Crescent Manor, the guards who came to the Royal Grand Theater early in the morning to change shifts shouted the name of the chief several times at the door, but no one answered, and he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, so he had to open the door and go in to inspect it. There was no one in the room on duty, and the bed was cold, and the guards felt that something was wrong, so they shouted and walked into the theater, through the antechamber and the stage, all the way to the backstage. It didn't take long for his hysterical shouts to echo over the Grand Theater.

It all started three days ago, when the Royal Theatre had never been open since Alex and the Praetorian Guards disrupted the performance of "Pandora" that night. On the one hand, the pillar of "Pandora", Rhodes, has disappeared, and it is difficult for the battered troupe to regain its strength in a short time. On the other hand, there was such a big incident, and other troupes retreated one after another. As a result, the Grand Theater, which used to sing every night, became unusually quiet these two nights, and the stage without lights was also lifeless.

There were five people in charge of guarding the Grand Theater, including the chief, who took turns on night duty, and the guard who had been working here that night had been working for three years, and was used to the excitement of every night, and he was a little uncomfortable when he suddenly became cold. It was estimated that at twelve o'clock in the morning, he got up from his bed on duty, lit a small oil lamp, and went into the Grand Theatre to make his rounds, which was his routine, and had done so for the past three years, but the atmosphere was particularly strange tonight.

In the cold moonlight, the flickering lights cast their huge and eerie shadows onto the walls. He walked briskly through the windowless corridor and put his hand on the handle of the theater door, when suddenly, he felt someone flash behind him, and looked back vigilantly, and there was still a dark corridor opposite, and there was nothing but his own shadow.

Opening the door of the theater and past the auditorium, he saw a person standing in the middle of the stage from a distance, because the light was too dim to see very clearly. He shouted, "Anyone?"

The figure remained motionless.

The guard walked in the direction of the stage, shouting as he went, "At this time, the Grand Theater is not allowed to enter!"

The figure still hasn't changed.

The guards thought their voices were loud enough, especially in the empty theater. There was no reason why he couldn't hear him, and he drew closer to the stage, and through the light of the oil lamp, the figure on the stage became slightly clearer, it was a little girl in a pink lace dress, standing on the stage with her back to him, she was wearing a gorgeous hat with a feather pinned to it. At first glance, it is the dress of a rich family's daughter.

The guard frowned. In order to take a look at the idol in her heart, the unruly aristocratic lady who secretly stayed in the theater in the middle of the night has met a few before, all of them are coming for Rhodes, such a noble lady is really difficult to deal with, not only to drive her away, but also not to be rude, and you must not be rude to her. The previous ones made him suffer a lot, so he walked on the stage respectfully and stopped a meter behind the other party.

"Miss, you ...... Are you looking for Rod?" the guard said cautiously, "he's not here. ”

The aristocratic lady remained motionless and did not make any sound.

The guard added, "I'll call you a carriage, the ladies should be in their boudoir at this time." ”

The other party was still indifferent, and the guard was a little impatient: "I said this young lady, you have something to say!" He stepped forward and patted the man's shoulder, this pat didn't matter, the whole arm fell off in an instant, and the fleshy arm slid down the pink sleeve with a "poof" and fell to the ground.

The guard bounced in fright, but the young lady was still motionless. He raised the oil lamp in front of his eyes, walked around to the young lady to look at it carefully, and then let out a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a doll. Thinking that he was still talking to this puppet just now, he couldn't help but laugh. It's not surprising that there are such doll props in the troupe, but today it was moved to the stage by someone for some reason, and the guard remembered that it wasn't here in the evening, was it a prank?

He didn't think much of it, turned around, and wanted to go down from the side of the stage to the backstage reads; But as soon as he turned around, the doll's eyes blinked, and the hand that fell to the ground moved on its own, crawling like a worm, climbing up his trouser leg delicately, and constantly climbing upward.

The guard felt a foreign object on his leg, and subconsciously shook his hand, but unexpectedly, the hand grabbed the crook of his arm. By the light of the oil lamp, when the guards saw the "foreign object", they were so frightened that their blood was cold. He frantically waved his arms to shake the weird thing off, but to no avail.

At this time, the oil lamp was quietly extinguished, and it was dark in the theater, and the guard shouted, he dropped the oil lamp, and tried to break the hand with his hand, and at the same time kept slamming the strange thing to the ground of the stage, and finally, the hand was released, and he got up and jumped off the stage in a few steps, and ran back with his legs.

Three steps and two steps, came to the front door of the theater, pushed open the door and just wanted to run out, but saw the sound of "stepping" in the dark corridor in front of him. The guard trembled, and he watched as a pair of small pink leather shoes loomed in the dark depths of the dark light, and they were getting closer and closer, revealing an indescribable weirdness. Soon, he noticed the strangeness, the shoe was moving backwards forward. Finally, a girl's back appeared in front of Simon, and yes, she came upside down!

Pink lace dress, large pink hat, and feather decoration on the hat. This is clearly the same as the puppet on the stage! The guard was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, and the girl still walked backwards into the theater, and it looked very weird!

The guard stumbled all the way back, and soon retreated to the front of the stage, and it was not until his body touched the plank of the stage that he realized that he subconsciously looked back at the strange arm that he thought of coldly. It didn't matter what it looked like, it almost scared Simon, and the puppet in the middle of the stage actually moved, slowly walking backwards, approaching his side.

Seeing that the one in front was approaching, and there was no way to retreat behind, the guard who was caught in the middle squatted down with his head in his arms, crying and chanting: "Please, spare me! Please, spare me!" After a few minutes, the trembling guard raised his head slightly, and there was silence all around, although it was still dark, but there was no trace of the pink lace dress, and he was stunned, and at this moment, the oil lamp that had been thrown on the stage rolled to his feet, and suddenly lit up again, he trembled and picked up the oil lamp, and stumbled back to the room on duty while chanting "God forbid".

As soon as he entered the room, he locked the door behind his back, jumped onto the bed and covered his head with a quilt, unable to control his violently shaking body, and shivered until dawn.
