As soon as Zhang Luo said this, not only the little girl in front of him was stunned, but most of the people who stood in front of the church to "watch" also widened their eyes slightly in surprise.

A mysterious silence hung over the streets, and above the heads of those who were still figuring out how to get the matches, it seemed as if an ellipsis was slowly rising.

Then, they were surprised to find that the little girl, who had been extremely calm even when killing people before, was so nervous that she couldn't even speak:

"Male...... Boy? No, you don't have proof......"

The emaciated girl frantically shook her blonde hair and tried to retreat, but was blocked by the wall behind her.

She looked up tremblingly, only to see that the dark thin figure with a smiling skull mask on his face was already approaching her.

"If you want to talk about evidence, you just have to look at it with your own eyes, right?" There was a hint of a smile in Zhang Luo's voice.

Hearing his shameless speech, the blonde girl's little face, which had been frozen bloodless, suddenly turned crimson. The "onlookers" behind also began to discuss:

"Do you want to be embarrassed...... Why didn't the girl kill him? A "punk youth" with his hair dyed red, shaved Mohican, and a black leather jacket was completely unable to comprehend what was happening.

"Don't you see? Charles. Standing beside this person, the short-haired glasses lady wearing a navy camouflage uniform sighed: "That child's attack is obviously triggered under certain conditions, and this masked man is very clever to avoid the triggering conditions." ”

"What trigger?" The young man named Charles frowned, apparently not reacting.

"You're hopelessly stupid, Charles. Haven't you seen from the killing of those two people just now? The little girl's attack was launched under two conditions. ”

The short-haired woman lifted the frame of her black-rimmed glasses and continued: "The first condition is that she finds that the other party's copper plate is not enough. The second condition is that the other party takes the initiative to attack her. The man didn't mention the copper plate at all, and he had no intention of attacking at all. So that little girl won't attack him at all! ”

"Oh...... That kid is very smart. Charles narrowed his eyes and whistled lightly at Zhang Luo's back.

"Indeed." The glasses lady nodded, and her voice suddenly became gloomy:

"This man is too threatening, and if he does succeed in passing, I will make him the highest priority target in the theater later."

……

Zhang Luo naturally didn't hear the whispers in the crowd behind him, because at this time, he was still continuing to communicate with the "little girl" in front of him.

"Do you want me to keep it a secret?" He asked.

"Okay, sir, I'm here to live......"

Speaking of this, the thin "little girl" had a trace of tears in her eyes: "I am indeed a boy, but my family is too poor, and I heard that girls come out to sell things, and some people will buy them out of sympathy." That's how you ......."

"I see."

Zhang Luo stretched out his right hand to the trembling "little girl": "Give me a box of matches, I can act as if nothing happened." ”

Hearing this, the "little girl" hurriedly took out a box of matches from her pocket, stuffed it into Zhang Luo's hand, and then immediately asked, "You won't say it, will you?" ”

"Of course, I'll keep my word."

After speaking, Zhang Luo waved his hand to the little child dressed as a man and a woman, and then walked through the street under the grateful gaze of the other party, returned to the open space in front of the church, and handed the matchbox in his hand to Faust.

After taking the matchbox, the black devil, thin as a hemp rod, cried out loudly, "Oooh! The first person to make it through Act One shows up, and congratulations on your qualification to skip Act II! Just use this key to open the wooden door facing the cross inside the church and you will be able to enter the lounge! ”

"Thank you."

Zhang Luo raised his hand and grabbed a silver key thrown by the devil, casually put it into the pocket of the black trench coat, and then asked, "Can I stay here temporarily?" ”

"Of course! You are both an actor and an audience, how can we deny an audience admission? ”

Faust even used honorifics when he spoke to Zhang Luo, and then, the devil's voice suddenly became low: "I still need to make sure, how did you tell that the child was male?" ”

Hearing Faust's question, Zhang Luo looked at the scarlet-eyed devil and explained slowly: "Indeed, when you see the little match seller, and then think of the 'fairy tale' you mentioned before, most people will have a preconceived idea that this first act is the story of "The Little Match Girl". I thought so at first, but then I noticed that something wasn't right with what you said......"

"Are you saying I'm showing a flaw?" Faust spoke in a higher pitch than before.

Zhang Luo nodded: "That's right, I found that every time you mention that child, you use the word 'child'." There was no mention of his gender once, as if to imply something. And you only said that it was a fairy tale, and you didn't mention the name of the story "The Little Match Girl" at all. ”

Speaking of which, the "ripper" wearing a black trench coat finally answered the confusion of everyone present:

That's why I thought that this fairy tale is not "The Little Match Girl" at all, and the child whose gender you deliberately concealed is probably not a girl. Right, devil? ”

Hearing this, Faust was silent for a moment, and then suddenly clapped his hands with his skinny hands:

"Well done, you did the first act perfectly!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

Zhang Luo didn't mean to be modest at all, just strode back to Frankenstein's side and whispered a few words in her ear.

Then, the girl in white, who had been silent before, stepped forward and said coldly to Faust, "I want to play." ”

Looking at the girl, who seemed to be weak, Faust's red eyes were slightly raised, and he asked, "Are you sure?" Now that the 'wisdom' method has been used, are you trying to influence that child? ”

"No, I rely on strength." Frankenstein said as he rolled up his white sleeves, revealing his white, slender arms.

As soon as these words came out, the other participants except Zhang Luo fell silent again, and then, a man's sarcastic voice sounded in the crowd:

"Do you think this is a playhouse, little girl?"

"Shut up." Frankenstein's answer remained concise and to the point.

Taking the copper plate from Faust's hand, the girl in white took out the other two copper plates that Zhang Luo had left for her before, and walked over to the little match seller without looking back.

Seeing this scene, the man in the suit and leather shoes who spoke just now questioned Zhang Luo: "Are you asking your companions to go up and send them to death?" ”

Zhang Luo didn't bother to pay attention to the other party at all, just looked at Frankenstein's back with interest.

Under the gaze of everyone, Frankenstein stood in front of the "puppeteer" and threw three copper plates on the ground at his feet.

Then, while the child was picking up the copper plate, the girl in white kicked out without warning and kicked the other person on the head.

"Ha, how can it be ...... with such an attack?"

Before the man in the suit finished speaking, he was forcibly choked in his throat by himself, because he saw that the little boy who killed people without blinking an eye actually fainted!

"It's ...... What's going on? He couldn't help but rub his eyes, and even thought that he had a delusion in a dream.

It wasn't until Frankenstein picked up the box of matches that had fallen on the ground and walked back briskly that the man in the suit finally realized that there was nothing wrong with his eyes.

- This girl in white did kick the kid unconscious!

"Oh oh, this girl also made it through Act I! So now, of the three victories in Act I, only the last one remains! Faust said as he pulled out a silver key and respectfully handed it to Frankenstein.

"What are you kidding? How could she possibly knock that child unconscious? The man in the suit couldn't help but shout.

"Let Faust explain, we're going to go inside to keep warm." Zhang Luo said and stood in front of the man in the suit, provocatively raised the silver key in his hand, and shook it in front of the other party's eyes.

Then, "Jack the Ripper", who was in a black trench coat, walked into the brightly lit church behind him with a thin girl in white.
