Chapter 140: Negotiation (2-in-1 Chapter)
Just thirty minutes before the end of the film, the screening room is located at the back of the auditorium.
Mrs. Nishizawa completely remodeled the entire performance hall for the sake of this demon's not too cold premiere, including the establishment of a screening room at the back of the entire performance hall.
In this small screening room, the original hedron that stored the not-so-cold movie image of this demon was placed in the center.
Mrs. Nishizawa had two of her closest squires guarded it, and outside there was a group of knights with swords guarding against any visiting strangers.
This kind of ultra-high standard treatment is completely comparable to a treasure trove of countless gold coins and gems.
And this demonic not-so-cold dailies definitely have that value.
Among the two cronies guarding the screening room, the leader of a certain black dove, Miss Dark Elves, known as the Thousand Faces, was honored to be involved.
"Why doesn't that demon accept Miss Caroli's confession... Alas, what a pity! ”
The other attendant in the projection room was a spellcaster who looked to be in his fifties, and judging by the magical aura he possessed, he should have a seventh-tier caster rating.
But the dark elves didn't care whether they were strong or not, and as the caster was immersed in Matilda's telling Leon that I might be in love with you, she quietly reached for the protocrystall in the center of the projection room.
"Stop! Ron, don't touch this primordial crystal, if you break it, you probably won't be able to afford it for the rest of your life. ”
The old spellcaster instantly noticed the reckless behavior of the young man next to him, and shouted loudly.
But in the face of his resistance, the dark elf's fingertips drew a magical inscription.
The inscription was not aggressive, and the moment the old caster saw the inscription, a strong sense of sleepiness swept over him... Before he could use his magic to dispel the sleepiness, he smelled a strange incense.
The scent had been permeating the entire projection room since before the movie even began, but he hadn't noticed it until he had seen the inscription released by the dark elves.
When the caster fell to the ground and fell asleep, the Dark Elf revealed her true form, and the first thing she did was wipe her tears away with her hands.
This time she infiltrated the Falosi Mansion for nothing else, but to steal the demon's not-so-cold movie samples and bring them back to the Demon Realm.
Originally, he could have started working more than ten minutes ago, but after thinking about it for a while, the dark elf decided to sit down and finish watching the movie before working.
As a result, throughout the movie, she found that her tears seemed to be a little too low.
Because she has taken on the role of Leon, far from the ending, her heart, which has been cold for many years, has been touched several times, and she has burst into tears several times in a row.
After she transforms her image into someone else's appearance, she can't do tears or sweat, which is not a good thing, and it will make her feel very uncomfortable.
So she had to choose to do it before the movie ended.
The dark elf wiped away her tears, adjusted her mood, and got ready to get down to business.
She reached for the Primordial Crystal placed in the center of the projection room, but felt resistance at the touch of it.
There's a magic barrier!
Mrs. Nishizawa would have set up such a tricky barrier for such a primordial crystal.
But with this level of magic barrier, the dark elves can break it as long as they concentrate their minds.
Unlocking locks and breaking the enchantments left behind by spellcasters was a thing of the past.
But once you focus on the magic barrier, you can't continue to watch the rest of the story.
Simply... After reading it, then work? But she wasn't sure how long her sleepy magic would affect a seventh-order spellcaster.
Just when she was struggling, someone opened the door of the screening room.
At this moment, she dodged, and landed on the other side of the door as lightly as a cat.
She stared intently at the figure who was about to enter the screening room, a dagger coated in venom in her hand.
These toxins are not lethal and can make people fall asleep completely, and the dark elves would not hesitate to choose to kill them when performing this kind of task.
But this demon is not too cold to make her reach the girl's heart that she threw away decades ago, so she chose a more friendly attack method this time.
The moment the person who opened the door stepped into the screening room, the dagger in her hand would be pressed against the other person's neck.
The plot of the movie continues while she is on guard, and her eyes are drawn to the new developments on the movie screen several times.
But soon she focused her attention on the figure who was about to enter the room.
"Why are you so bothered to hide here?"
A familiar voice sounded in her ears, and the dark elf froze slightly when she saw the figure, and finally reluctantly took back the weapon in her hand.
"If you want to attend the premiere, I can give you a seat in the audience, there's no need to hide here, Miss Dark Elf."
Qiao Xiu pushed open the door of the projection room and looked at the dark elf stuck to the wall.
The dark elf didn't answer Qiao Xiu, but just took a few steps back and looked at Qiao Xiu's side, no one followed him, but there were several daytime banshees floating beside Qiao Xiu.
If the banshee's combat power during the day was insufficient, the aura of death emitted by the mark in Qiao Xiu's hand was enough to convince the dark elf to give up resistance.
"I'm not here to watch a movie."
It is true that the Dark Elves are here not to watch a movie, but to steal the original hedron that stores the not-so-cold image of this demon.
So she wasn't lying, but she looked at the movie screen outside the projection room from time to time, making this sentence really unconvincing.
Qiao Xiu saw the entanglement of this dark elf lady, and finally let out a slight sigh and made a gesture of please to her.
Although this dark elf lady entered the movie theater without buying a ticket, Qiao Xiu still treats her as an audience.
"Or... Let's talk about it after reading it? Qiao Xiu said.
The dark elf's brow furrowed slightly, as if she was fighting some kind of struggle, but when the plot of the movie progressed to the point where the army of enforcers was overwhelmed and Leon and Matilda were in a desperate situation, she finally chose to nod slightly.
Although she agreed to Qiao Xiu's proposal, her expression was still tense and she couldn't see any change at all, Qiao Xiu just waited silently for the movie to end on the side.
Just to the end... When Leon died, the dark elf lady seemed to be enduring something, and her eyes twitched slightly.
The plot of the movie continues, and Leon's death doesn't give the icy dark elf slayer any emotional turmoil.
It wasn't until finally Matilda buried the potted plant in the ground and said that we were safe now, Leon. The dark elf choked as if holding back something.
Finally, the moment the melody of shapeofmyheart sounded, the situation was completely out of control, and the dark elf lady, who had maintained a cold posture since Qiao Xiu came in, tears instantly overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
But in order to be strong, she still kept using her hands in the hope of wiping away the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes, but perhaps it was the reason why she had not shed tears for nearly decades, and this time the tears completely exploded the sad emotions she had accumulated in her heart for many years.
The way this dark elf lady cried bitterly made Qiao Xiu also fall into a momentary stunned.
Since coming into contact with the leader of the black dove, she has always given Qiao Xiu the impression of being cold and a little cunning... It never seems to expose his true side to anyone.
Maybe that's why she's called a thousand faces.
But her tears were much lower than Qiao Xiu imagined, or what resonated with her from the story of this movie where the demon was not too cold?
In short, the image of this dark elf seems to have completely collapsed like the frost elf.
"Wipe your tears with this."
Qiao Xiu didn't have a handkerchief on him, so he could only find a tablecloth and hand it to her.
This makes Qiao Xiu feel a little pity, if there is a handkerchief, it is estimated that he can brush a lot of favorability, after all, when any girl cries is the most vulnerable.
The dark elf didn't dislike it, took the tablecloth handed over by Qiao Xiu, and wiped away all the tears that had slid down his cheeks.
She didn't want to cry like this at all, exposing her weak side in front of Qiao Xiu, a stranger.
But the tear gas canister that Qiao Xiu threw called this demon was not too cold, and the power was too great.
No matter how strong the dark elves are, in the end, they still can't resist the infectious power of the song shapeofmyheart, and the final scene can be said to explode the tears accumulated in the whole movie at one time.
Qiao Xiu didn't watch this killer for the first time, and it was the same way, and there was no fluctuation in the whole movie, but he burst into tears at the end.
Although she was infected by the movie, which exposed the most vulnerable side of this dark elf in front of Qiao Xiu, as a professional intelligence officer or killer, she still showed the ability to adjust emotionally.
The tablecloth was like a magician's covering, and the dark elf was in tears one second, and the next second it was back to its cold face.
However, the red appearance of her eyes still proves that she was in a state of extreme sadness for the first few seconds.
"Is Leon's fate the only way to end up being like that?"
Without waiting for Qiao Xiu to speak, she suddenly asked.
"Let me think about it, the real plot is that Leon didn't die in the end, built a hotel on Squirrel Street, and adopted two gray cats and half-dragon children by the way... Are you happy with this ending? ”
Josieu is talking about the experience of Leon's actor, the fraudster Prucker.
When he heard Qiao Xiu's explanation, the dark elf suddenly laughed.
This was also the first time Qiao Xiu had seen this dark elf's smile, the smile she had shown before was just a disguise for negotiation, but this time the smile didn't last long.
She walked to the window next to the screening room, where she could see the view below the auditorium.
A little girl who looks to be only about thirteen or fourteen years old finds out that the villain in the movie, Stanfield, is sitting next to her, and she resolutely chooses to avenge Leon and begins to chant the magic of the dangerous thunder and lightning system.
It was still the spellcaster who seemed to be her mentor who was sitting next to her to stop it, so that the tragic situation of Stanfield's actor, that is, Sir Bravitex, might come on stage with a post-century explosive hairstyle to express his feelings.
"If it were me, I'd do the same, just to vent." The Dark Elf said.
"So... My purpose has been achieved, and I have won the bet between me and you. ”
Joshew leaned against the other side of the window and looked out at the auditorium below, the whole premiere not quite over when the behind-the-scenes cast appeared on the movie screen.
Mrs. Nishizawa walked onto the stage, followed by the entire cast that had participated in this demon that was not too cold.
When the last two lead actors, Caroli, the flower of Farlosi, who played Matilda, stood on stage with Pluck, the fraudster who played Leon, almost all the audience applauded, a applause that was even more enthusiastic than at the end of the film.
The applause went on for a long time.
Qiao Xiu looked at the dark elf, her expression as if she was thinking about something.
The dark elves clearly understood at this moment that all this applause was for the demon standing on the stage!
The humans stood up and applauded a demon, and many humans were even moved by the demon's survival.
If someone had described the scene to the Dark Elves before, she would have thought that they were telling a joke, or something less funny.
But the facts are already in front of her, a demon is standing on the stage of humanity, and it is the focus of the whole stage.
In the end, even the Dark Elves themselves applauded.
Although she knew that the stories in this movie were all fictional, the sight of Matilda and Leon still standing together was too touching for any viewer who had just watched this demon was not too cold.
After sending their own applause, the dark elf turned their gaze to Qiao Xiu.
The person who made all this a reality was none other than Qiao Xiu... Qiao Xiu did what she once refused to believe.
That is to make demons acceptable to humans.
"Although they are just applauding the fictional demon slayer in the movie, at least the fictional movie does affect reality, doesn't it?" Qiao Xiu said.
This is the destructive power brought about by culture, in more mysterious terms, it is the magic that can reshape the three views of human beings.
"You've won, Master Qiao Xiu."
The dark elf frankly admitted that the previous bet with Qiao Xiu ended in his own failure.
"Then ......" Qiao Xiu is ready to recruit this heroic character.
But the dark elf's fingertips crossed an inscription symbol, and the moment Qiao Xiu saw the inscription symbol, sleepiness instantly surged up.
Qiao Xiu's vision began to blur... It can't be the Seal of Axifah, right?
As his eyelids became heavier and heavier, Qiao Xiu leaned on the window next to him to barely stand firm.
Is it true that there is such a thing as cunning in the dark elf setting in this world? I just don't know if they believe in Rose the spider like the drow elves.
"I'm sorry, Master Qiao Xiu... Now I can't work for you. ”
She watched as Qiao Xiu's body staggered and fell, and turned around and walked towards the primordial crystal.
But the next second, her hand was caught, which made her look back in surprise.
"How could it be ......"
She didn't expect Qiao Xiu's resistance to sleeping magic to be so strong.
"Don't underestimate the programmer's ability to stay up late." Qiao Xiu said.
