I was startled and opened my eyes.

The backstage of the theater was still empty, but I could clearly feel that something was quietly approaching me.

What is that? Could it be the soul of the dead?

I was scared and subconsciously touched my forehead, only to find that my cold sweat was actually running down.

Could it be that Wu Song is back again?"

No matter who Wu Song wanted to kill in the first place, he was my enemy, just like the man in black! He wanted to kill Mary, but I wouldn't allow him to do that. Whoever dares to be an enemy of Mary is an enemy of me, Wu Qiang!

But why did he kill Mary? Is it just because I am jealous of Mary and my love?

But even out of jealousy, it stands to reason that he should kill his rival first, and then kill the woman he loves? However, his original goal turned out to be to Mary? Does that seem a bit out of the ordinary?

It's not impossible, though. Perhaps, because of love and hate, he lost his mind, so he went to kill Mary first, right? If his murder succeeds, then, next, he will kill me too! Anyway, killing one person is a capital crime, and killing one more person is just a capital crime! This kind of crazy guy can do anything!

I suddenly thought of another question, in the play "Wu Song Kills Sister-in-law", did Wu Song kill his sister-in-law Pan Jinlian first, or kill Ximenqing first?

I forgot the content of the original book "Water Margin", but if you follow the lines I heard in the dream, it is obvious that Wu Song should have killed Pan Jinlian first, and then killed her lover, Ximen Qing!

If this actor who plays Wu Song kills Mary first, and then kills me, then this is consistent with the content in the play "Wu Song Kills His Sister-in-law". The difference is that Wu Song killed his sister-in-law in order to avenge his brother, Wu Dalang, but the actor who played Wu Song was for his own selfishness.

However, didn't Wu Song in "Water Margin" secretly fall in love with Pan Jinlian? Don't forget, Pan Jinlian also tried to seduce her brother-in-law Wu Song? Did Wu Song kill Pan Jinlian just to avenge his brother's poisoning? Isn't there any other reason for love and hatred?

The more I thought about it, the more complicated it became, and the more my head hurt. However, discussing the love-hate relationship between the characters in this play seems to have nothing to do with what I am going to do next.

Before, I thought that the doctor named Meng Tianming fell in love with Mary, so he wanted to break us up. Now, there is another "Wu Song" here, and he is also related to Mary, and of course, it is also related to Wu Qiang.

Meng Tianming, Wu Song, and the man in black, by the way, and the headmistress, what is the relationship between these people?

I couldn't find the answer, and I couldn't find any clue other than becoming more and more convinced that I might be Wu Qiang.

I couldn't find any other text on the poster, and it didn't even have the name of the actor who played Juliet, which was really weird. It stands to reason that since there is the name of the actor who plays the male lead, then Mary, who plays the heroine, should also be written on the poster?

On the other hand, I don't know what the name of that "Wu Song" is, and I can't find any clues here.

It seems that in order to unravel these answers, I would better find Mary herself first. Only when I find her, will I know what the relationship between me and her is, what kind of past I-Wu Qiang had, who is hated by the two of us, and who wants to put us to death?

I began to worry about Mary again, if she was still alive, there were at least two men who would be against her, one was the Dr. Meng, who wanted to take Mary away, and even wanted to take her with him to commit suicide! And that Wu Song also seems to be full of hatred for Mary, and he also wants to kill this woman!

Whether I am Wu Qiang or not, I must find this woman and protect her!

At this moment, suddenly, something sounded behind me, and it seemed that something had fallen to the ground.

I looked back and realized: the clown mask on the wall had fallen off.

Strange, didn't I just throw it in the corner? Why is it hanging again?

I crouched down and picked up the clown mask, but I didn't dare look at it.

But just then, suddenly, I heard footsteps!

Could it be that someone is coming this way?

This time, I was nervous again. I threw away the clown mask again, drew my pistol, and looked warily ahead.

Could it be that Wu Song, he is back again?

No, don't be afraid, I still have a pistol in my hand. If he dares to cut me with a knife, I'll give him a shot!"

To be honest, I really don't want to kill someone, even a heinous bad guy. However, in order to protect myself and save Mary, I can only give up!

The sound of footsteps came from behind the red curtain in front. Over there, someone is coming!

However, the voice suddenly disappeared, as if it had disappeared into some section behind the curtain.

However, I still did not dare to move, for I was afraid that when the curtain was suddenly lifted again, a terrible monster would emerge!

After waiting for a long time, there was still no sound.

I mustered up my courage and walked towards the curtain. Then, I jerked open the curtain and rushed in.

But behind the curtain, there was nothing. Ahead, there was still a narrow aisle, just like the one I had just entered.

I walked down the aisle and continued on my way. On both sides of this aisle, there are no forks, only walls.

Not long after walking, a red curtain appeared in front of me, exactly like the two in front.

I was stunned, but I stepped forward anyway and lifted the curtain.

Behind the curtain, there is still an identical passage.

What's going on? Could it be that I have encountered "ghosts hitting the wall" again?

I didn't go back, but continued to walk forward, and found another red curtain at the end of the passage. And then, another, and another.

I lifted the red curtains one after another, but it felt like they had been stained with blood, and they were horribly red.

After lifting more than a dozen identical curtains in a row, I finally came to the real end.

Here, there are no roads anymore, and there are walls all around, black walls.

I looked around and saw that it was a square room. However, there are many half-man-high gasoline barrels here. I counted it, and there were seven in total.

In the air, the smell of gasoline was still in the air.

Strange, what is this place, isn't this the backstage of the theater? Why are there gasoline drums here? This is not an oil depot, nor is it a gas station, why put so many gasoline barrels? Aren't you afraid of fire?

I felt a little sick to smell that gasoline. I was about to leave, when suddenly, something came out of an oil drum and jumped on my feet!

I jumped back, only to find that it was just a mouse.

The rat's body was greasy, and it seemed to have just come out of the oil drum. It didn't seem to be afraid of people, but when it looked up at me, it shook its head and slipped away as if nothing had happened.

I didn't chase the mouse, but on the way the mouse passed, I found a card stained with dust. Because the dust on it was so thick, and the light here was very dim, I didn't see it just now.

I bent down and picked up the card, shaking off the dust from it.

This card is made of plastic, and there is a ** in it to testify. However, there was no photo on the work card, only a few words were written.

When I saw these words, I was taken aback.

"Wu Qiang, prop master, driver"?

I finally saw the name "Wu Qiang" again, but this ** testimony completely overturned my previous assumptions.

What the? Wu Qiang is just the prop master and driver of this troupe? Is there any mistake? Isn't he an actor, or the number one male, how did he become a prop master and driver again? Is he an actor, a prop master and driver?

At this moment, I also had doubts about whether I was Wu Qiang.

Just now, in that scene, which was like a memory and a dream, I only heard Mary call me "help", but she didn't call me "Wu Qiang".

Am I not Wu Qiang?

However, I thought of another possibility.

It's just a small town theater company, and it's not surprising that the actors wear many hats. Perhaps, I, Wu Qiang, am not only an actor, male number one, but also a prop master and driver? Since he can be a prop master and a driver, why can't he be an actor at the same time?

Driver? I looked at the oil drum and finally understood.

Since Wu Qiang is a driver, of course, he usually has to refill a little gas, so it is not surprising that there are gasoline barrels here. However, isn't it just a matter of refueling, and as for the need for so many gasoline barrels? At this scale, you can open a small gas station?

This is indeed a bit puzzling.

So, I walked over to the gasoline drums and shook them.

The gasoline barrel that jumped out of the rat was empty, as I expected. No matter how greedy the rat is, it won't eat this gasoline for food, it probably just hides in the empty gasoline barrel, right?

Here, there are three gasoline barrels, all of which are already empty. This shows that someone has already poured the oil away, possibly to refuel, but it is clear that under normal circumstances, there is no need to use so much oil.

In addition, there are four gasoline barrels that are still full. I found a list of grease stains next to one of the gasoline drums. It was a purchase order, which said "Gasoline, 10 barrels, purchase unit: Wu Qiang"

10 barrels of gasoline? I was stunned for a moment, and counted the gasoline barrels here.

Strange, counting and counting, it's only 7 barrels? How can there be 10 barrels, and where did the 3 barrels of gasoline go?

Also, why did Wu Qiang buy so many barrels of gasoline? Is it just for the troupe's car? It's impossible, these 10 barrels of oil, how many cars are enough? Could it be that he bought so much gasoline to open a gas station?

Also, there are so many gasoline drums here, what if it catches fire?

Fire? Fire? On fire······
