Walking on the steps of the Van Lier Theater, there were many people around, who seemed to have come to watch the performance, and Durin asked curiously, "Why don't they go to perform in a more developed place in the south?

Du Lin knows a lot of things, but he doesn't know enough about the inside story of the "entertainment industry", whether it is the big guy in his dream or himself, he feels that there is nothing in the entertainment industry that needs his deliberate attention. Many people use the circle of fame and fortune to describe the entertainment industry and the society in it, people think that it is glamorous, drunk and gold-obsessed, and everything is so beautiful. But in fact, for the real big shots, whether it is the so-called fame and fortune circle or the entertainment industry, it is at best an adult product vending machine.

Fame and fortune?

That's just a low-level joke, whether it is social status, wealth, popularity, influence, an actor can never compare to a real big capitalist, that is a kindergarten!

Henry obviously knows a lot more about this than Doolin is "ignorant" about this, he is more like a child of a rich family in the traditional sense, and pays more attention to how to eat, drink and have fun better. From the moment he was born, he didn't need to worry about anything about his livelihood except for his IQ, even if his IQ was not up to standard, he also had the career in the west today. A lot of people feel that it's unbalanced, it's unfair, but these people ignore that they are themselves, or that each person is a product of unfairness.

200 million brothers and sisters participated in a marathon together, why can you win alone, why do those brothers and sisters who are only one step slower than you sink into the endless abyss, never to see the sun again? This may also be unfair, but it is the greatest fairness, as an indirect hand to slash 200 million brothers and sisters into this world, from the moment we are born, it means that an extraordinary life has come to this world full of competition, what we have to do is to fight fiercely.

"Because the West makes no less money than anywhere else!", Henry explained to Durin as he walked, "In order to allow the citizens to enjoy higher quality entertainment, the town hall has waived the cost of renting the opera house for the Quinn Opera Company, and they don't have any costs except the fare. Then there is the ticket price, fifteen dollars for a ticket, and the Vanlier Opera House has eight hundred seats, and one is one thousand two hundred. They would hold six performances here for three days in a row, which was 7,200 yuan. ”

"If you think that a certain actor is doing well, you can give them a little flower basket or something else, or even invite them to dinner by bidding, I don't know how much this part of the income is, but it is definitely not too small, and there are tens of thousands of yuan! This is no different from performing in other places, and it may even be because of the gathering of rich people in the west, so that their income is a little higher!"

After so much turmoil in the West, there have been many institutional changes in the rules of the system, such as the fact that more mine owners are now willing to live in the cities, and the destructive power caused by the Freedom Front when it was still alive continues to this day. The massacre of the three mines has caused a great shadow on the hearts of the mine owners, who are no longer willing to live in the mines compared to the safer and more reliable cities, and now there are no slaves, and the number of mine guards has been reduced a lot, everything is on track, and they don't need to do anything to stabilize their authority in the mines.

Most miners choose to live in more developed cities, such as Vanlier, which is not only the capital of a state, but also one of the most developed cities in the west. Memnon has not brought positive changes to the west over the years, at least in urban construction, so that some cities gradually stand out from the 22 cities, and with these outstanding cities as the core, he has created an economic circle.

Vanlier is home to dozens or more miners, as well as tycoons from all walks of life, and is definitely not a poor city with rather terrible spending power.

The two entered the Grand Theater after checking their tickets, found their place and sat down, and before the performance was about to begin, the lights of the entire theater were turned off, and the huge space was dark for a moment, and Durin heard someone exclaim in fear. Before the official start of the performance, the light is usually dimmed in order to highlight the effect of the stage and the actors on the stage, and there are not many people who completely turn off the light like this, but it cannot be said that there are none.

In a cave, there was also a poor fellow in the dark, her name was Caterina.

She was locked up in a water prison, a terrible place, and for many years many warriors in the past few years could not suppress the fear that came from the depths of their hearts, and they even chose to commit suicide rather than be locked up in the water prison. Unlike other places of detention, prisoners spend almost all of their time in the water. The prisoner would be placed in a large cage and sunk into the water, revealing only a small amount of space for people to float their heads on the water, and some of them a little further down so that people could only breathe with their faces on their backs.

There is no chance of rest in such a place, because once a person enters a state of rest, he sinks and is choked up. They must always hold on to the top of the cage to ensure that they can breathe air, so that they can never rest, and at the same time, the body will be soaked in water for too long, and a series of special conditions will occur, such as the body will be swollen, the skin will begin to fester, and then the sudden death rate will begin to rise, or it will completely float up in a few days, and then slowly become stinky.

Caterina had been locked up for three days, and her body was in the same situation, she took off all her clothes and soaked herself in the water. Many people may think that this should be an eye-catching scene, but in fact it is very terrifying. Her body had begun to swell, and clothes that weren't going to swell with her body would suddenly turn into sharp weapons, tearing her body apart if she didn't take it off, hastening the process of her death. In addition to this, there are already dark purple scars in some places, and in two or three days at most, the skin and muscle tissue here will start to decay and deteriorate, and then within three or five days she will become a floating corpse.

She didn't take into account that the people of the Earth God Cult only threw her here and didn't interrogate her, she was also very frightened at this time, no one could face death calmly, not even a saint.

She tied her long hair to the iron hammer at the top of the cage to keep herself from sinking, and had a chance to rest, and every day someone would throw some vegetable leaves and fruits down from the skylight, and sometimes there would be meat, but the meat would sink. Now, she felt that she might not be able to stand it out, and she wondered why these people hadn't interrogated her and drowned her here without asking anything.

Katarina's question is also something that the elders of the Earth God Sect are hesitating about, they have figured out Katarina's identity and arrested her, but now the question is whether to try or not, what to do after the trial, whether to kill or continue to detain her or let her go. These issues have been interfering with the conduct of the interrogation, as no one knows how to decide.

Kill her, it will anger the MIA, and those people will definitely come and bite them like crazy, even if they have completed their transformation, they will continue to stare at them, and then bite them to death. If you don't kill her, it's a problem to keep her, this kind of agent-trained intelligence officer has strong personal abilities, and to be honest, no one in the Saulgod Cult thinks that they will be able to keep Katerina firmly in a cell, so they are now throwing her into a water prison for the time being.

The most critical problem is that they don't have anything to ask and don't know what to do with this woman, which is the crux of the problem, so that they pretend not to know about it for the time being.

Caterina, whose life light was already on, roared loudly during the dinner feeding, repeating the fact that she was dying, and the person in charge of feeding quickly reported the news to the Presbyterian Church. Several of the elders on duty here discussed it and decided to transfer Caterina to a normal cell and hold her. It is said to be an ordinary cell, but in fact, a smaller room is carved out of the inner wall of the cave, and an iron door is a cell.

Half an hour after Caterina called for help, the cage was slowly lifted, much to Caterina's relief, and she untied her hair from the cage and was gradually lifted out of the water. Under normal circumstances, a person who has been in the water for a while will feel cold when they leave the water, but she does not feel the slightest feeling. The puffy body has cut off the epidermis from the outside world, which is not a good sign.

Soon a group of people in religious robes walked up to her, and after a few glances, a believer who was supposed to be a woman squatted down, she took out some oil and applied it to the surface of Katerina's skin, "You may be in pain for the next few days, but it's a good thing, if you still don't feel pain, we can't save you." Caterina understood what she meant, the necrotic tissue would not send signals, and she could only pray that Lady Luck would like her.

Soon Caterina was sent to the cell, and they threw a loose gown at her, and no man could afford to be interested in this "stunner", especially when she saw the constant dripping of pink liquid on her thighs, which made people have no appetite at all.

The situation here was really bad, much worse than Caterina had imagined, she had a fever and a coma since she came out of the water prison, and now she could only hope that Henry's bastard and Durin's bastard would be able to warn the MI in time of what might happen to her.
