Chapter Seven: The Unknown Counterattack (I)

【07:45】

The main entrance of the Rainbow Theatre.

“……”

The silent enemies in black suits maintained an astonishing tacit understanding, banging on the door of the Rainbow Theater with their shoulders again and again.

For some reason, when chasing Lloyd and others, the mafia did not launch a barrage to block the road. This time, there was no brutal use of bullets to beat the Rainbow Troupe into a sieve.

Unable to withstand the power of the mafia, with a bang, the door was finally slammed open. The four male crew members who originally used their bodies against the gate were skillfully punched in the stomach by the mafia, and then kicked away.

About thirty or forty mafia members looked around, looking for traces of Lloyd and the others.

But in the hall of the Rainbow Theater, only the four male members who had resisted the door before let out a painful **, and other than that, there was no one else.

The mafia decisively divided into six ways. Two men guarded the gate, and four men guarded the inside. The others split into groups of about six or seven people, and entered the four pathways inside the Rainbow Theatre.

[07:48] [Rainbow Theatre Passage on both sides]

The Rainbow Theatre has three floors of auditorium.

The stairs on both sides are the way to get to these seats with better views on the second and third floors.

There were six or seven mafias on each side, walking up with staggering steps, and the appearance of fierce gods made people think that they were ghosts of hell.

The Rainbow Troupe is so big, Lloyd they can't run. That's what the mafia thinks.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, at the top of the stairs, a human voice was heard. The staircase is a typical back-shaped staircase, and it is difficult to tell who is above from below. Hearing the voice, the mafia immediately raised their guns, but there was no goal.

However, something flowed down.

It looks translucent and has a bit of a sticky feel.

What a trick again!

The mafia didn't understand, so they moved on.

Smack.

Leather shoes fell on the floor.

Thorny slip -

It's slippery!

As soon as the body is out of balance, the mafia's body subconsciously exerts more strength to keep itself balanced. But the power of the moving body was naturally out of direction, and the result was that the viscous liquid had a greater effect, and the mafia fell to the ground with a click, as if bowling, and rolled to the bottom of the stairs with the mafia behind him.

"Oh! Sure enough, I was hit! ”

At this time, the actors who were lying in ambush in the audience on the second floor held plastic bags with a large amount of glue and threw them at the mafiosi who were stacked together like meat balls below. However, the mafia is a mafia after all, and when he sees a flying prop attacking him, he immediately raises his gun and shoots, snapping, and it is accurate.

But......

It was precisely because the bullet shattered the plastic bag that the liquid glue inside spread out in midair, like a huge water net, covering everyone below at once.

Classic staircase tactics.

It's very common in comedy.

Common means classic. Classic means good.

Although it was the first time it had been used on humans, it received quite good feedback.

[07:48] [Actor's Backstage Passage]

The actor's backstage access is the way for the internal staff of the Rainbow Theatre to enter the back of the stage and wait for the stage. There is a prep room and two powder rooms along the way. The passage is not narrow, but because there are various props idle along the way, there is not much room for movement.

The six mafias acted in a formation of four men facing forward and two facing back.

If these people had some intelligence, they wouldn't have done it.

Joachim's means of controlling these people are similar to "orders". For example, now, the mafia's order is to "bring back Kia, don't hurt Kia". So in their hearts, capturing Lloyd was just a means to bring Kia back. The reason for not firing a shot during a chase is also due to the possibility of accidental injury from stray bullets.

Because they were just thinking about how to bring Kia back, it wasn't in the order to eliminate traps and the like, and they didn't care. It was also because of this reason that Lloyd was able to escape. In the perception of the mafia, Kia is a child, and Lloyd and his party are dressed in civilian clothes. So when they changed their body shape and outfits, the mafia minds that they were no longer Lloyd's group.

If it were normal times, these mafias would never mistake the difference between a long black trench coat and a black suit.

Moreover, it will definitely not maintain a dense formation in an empty and narrow pathway.

About halfway there, I heard a muffled clatter.

This is followed by the subtle sound of solids falling into the water.

What is it?!

Although the mafia is controlled, there is still a minimum degree of self-discipline. Hearing a strange sound coming from behind him, he immediately turned around, and six people surrounded the thing that made the sound.

It was a somewhat strange box. The whole is made of broken wood, and the lid is casually tied with iron sheets to strengthen it. From the cracks in the wood, tiny white smoke emerged.

What is it?!

The mafia is completely incomprehensible.

They knew it was a box, but why did it suddenly come out of nowhere?

When I just passed by, there was absolutely no such white gas.

Just when the mafia was at a loss and decided to open the box.

"Boom!"

The wooden box suddenly exploded!

Originally, the things that made up the box were broken wooden boards, and this explosion made the originally loose wood structure into a sharp weapon flying around! The crackling sound is endless!

Without waiting for the mafia to react, in the dressing room and props room, more than a dozen crew members rushed out, the powerful male members hugged the mafia, and the flexible female members tied the mafia with ropes and tape. Although they don't know that the mafia has become extremely powerful now, but in the hearts of ordinary people, the mafia is a ghost-like existence, so when they tie it, they consciously tie it very tightly, as the so-called "tying the tiger has to be anxious".

"Hmph, I've seen it. The power of our prop crew! ”

A small girl wearing a hat and a very energetic girl said proudly. Everyone threw the tied mafia into the prop room one by one, and the first round of counterattack ended like this.

This counterattack is the plan of the props team.

The previous crate was a prop used by the actor in a play when he struggled to lift the box and broke it. In order to ensure that it will definitely break if it falls, and in order to save costs, the crew deliberately put together a box made of broken wood.

And white gas is the artifact that creates the atmosphere of the stage play: dry ice.

The outside of the box is wrapped with waterproof film and filled with some water.

Use a thin rope to hang a large piece of dry ice in the box so that the dry ice and the water in the box do not come into contact with each other. The string runs from the wall to the backstage, and is blocked by various debris in the middle, making it difficult to spot.

Then, it was up to the small, inconspicuous Huley to hide in the backfield, secretly confirm the location of the mafia, and as soon as they walked past the box, cut the string. The dry ice that loses its support falls into the water, and the low-temperature dry ice will frantically absorb the water at room temperature and convert it into gas, because there is a waterproof membrane on the outside of the box, so the expanded gas cannot be discharged - the white smoke seen by the mafia before is because there is a mistake in the urgency, and there are some gaps where the waterproof membrane is not sealed.

In this way, the crate is reduced to **.

This is a weapon that people who are not proficient in stage props cannot think of. Although this success was a great deal of serendipity. For example, dry ice will volatilize at room temperature. For example, the power of the explosion will not be so great. For example, if the mafia walks very slowly, the dry ice will evaporate early.

However, there is also a fate invisible, and there is some unknown force that makes everything go smoothly. It's such a coincidence.

With a desperate mentality, the newcomer to the Rainbow Theater Troupe, Xiu Li, led the members of the props team to beautifully defeat the mafia who should have been in absolute advantage.
