The kestrel in the cab of the front of the car recited a secret word, and the secret technique that Luke had arranged here in advance was activated. The door to the cab opens and stretches, and the light curtain blurs and becomes transparent in the stretching, revealing a stage behind it.

The lights shine from above, and several puppeteers appear in the middle of the stage.

The set for the stage is a secret room, where one of the puppeteers falls to the ground on his back with a blood-dripping dagger stuck in his chest, and the other puppeteers are dressed in different clothes to represent their different identities.

The black and white puppet show was also started at the same time.

Luke patted the empty seat next to him and said to Sandpaper, "Sit next to me." This secret technique is very dangerous, I have to remind the kestrel what to do, she and Boiling will die if she makes a mistake. ”

Sandpaper immediately obediently sat down beside Luke and asked, "Lord Governor, hasn't the secret technique you arranged activated?" ”

"It's activated, listen!"

A musical prelude sounded at this time.

Kestrel and Boiling then walk onto the stage from backstage, and the puppet show begins to recite a narration about the murder of Eucalyptus. The combination of the melody of the music and the narration of the puppet show is like a BGM specially added to the plot, which can bring out the artistic conception of the plot.

Sandpaper asked with some surprise, "Could it be that the two secret techniques are mixed together?" ”

"It should be ......" Taking advantage of the fact that the narration of the puppet show is not over, Luke quickly said to Sandpaper: "Now Kestrel and Boiling are detectives and detective assistants in the puppet show, they can't leave the stage range, they can't cast magic and combat skills, they can only make inferences about the murderer's guilt based on the clues found in the plot."

As for the secret art I have arranged...... After the prelude to the song, everyone in the secret art must sing along with the lyrics, and those who can't sing will be punished, and the mental attack will be thirty seconds, during which the body will dance to the music.

After a song is over, the person who has been mentally attacked for the longest time will be severely weakened. ”

Sandpaper said with a strange face, "How can there be such a strange secret technique?" ”

"The secret art is originally weird, and the people who develop this secret art like to fight with others." Luke smiled and said, "I originally wanted you to activate this secret technique, but I didn't expect it to be a kestrel. It's not bad to listen to the kestrel sing, this kid is usually too serious. ”

Sandpaper didn't expect to be almost calculated by Luke, but she could hear the kestrel singing, and she immediately forgave Luke.

But after thinking about it, she couldn't help but worry and said, "If the kestrel can't sing, won't it be troublesome?" ”

"What's the trouble with this. If you can't sing and dance, and when your strength is weakened after a song is over, aren't there still us outside? What worries me is ......"

"What are you worried about?"

"My secret art and Belga's secret art have fused, I'm afraid we're going to see a musical show."

"Ahh

Luke's fears turn out to be correct, and the prelude to the music ends with the narration of the puppet show, the singing part is interrupted, and the plot begins.

Due to the lack of connection between Luke and the puppet waiter, the puppet show is randomly assigned to "Cobb's Toast Room".

The plot is a serial murder in a manor. In the whole of the eucalyptus, seven people were killed one after another, the lord of the manor, the second son of the lord of the manor, the cook, the groom, the guard, the maid, and the gardener. All the dead died in the secret room, although after investigation and reasoning, all the murder methods in the secret room were cracked, but the murderer was still not found.

Now on the stage is the first act of the puppet show, the lord of the manor dies in a closed cellar, and the detective appears to investigate the matter.

Those who are trapped in the occult art do not think about how to find the murderer first, but how to avoid killing themselves. Although this secret technique has never been cracked by players, it is also a popular competition among players to see who lives long.

At the beginning of the puppet show, Luke says to Sandpaper, "Let Kestrel talk to the cook first, go to the kitchen to check on today's dinner, and you can find a dinner knife in the kitchen." ”

Sandpaper uses telepathy between the sisters to inform Kestrel of Luke's strategy.

The kestrel then went to the cook with a boiling and asked to check for today's dinner.

The cook agreed, and the set on the stage became a kitchen.

Kestrel was given a dinner knife at Luke's instructions.

Then the kestrel took the cook and boiled back to the eucalyptus scene.

At this time, the music suddenly plays, and the lyrics come after a short prelude.

The name of the song is "Moonlight Song in the Night Wind", which is a song written by a well-known composer in the city of angry waves, Brutov, which tells the story of a pair of lovers walking in the night wind.

The melody of the song is extremely beautiful and the popularity of the song is very high.

In the sandpaper notice, Kestrel learns the secret rules of "Give Me Time for a Song", and immediately hums along to the lyrics after the prelude.

Surprisingly, Kestrel has an excellent voice, singing the mood in the lyrics along with the melody, making people feel as if they can really see a couple in love walking under the moonlight.

As for the rest......

The puppeteers certainly don't sing "Moonlight Song in the Night Wind", and dance to the song of the kestrel one by one. Even the puppets on the ground that play the role of corpses dance along, and the gentle dance steps are like professional dancers.

Boiling can't sing, just dance along. He walked with a light step, and he was not at all recognizable as a heavyweight war machine.

In addition to the puppeteers and the boiling, there is also an extra dancer on the stage.

He wears a black smock and hides his face in the shadow of his hood. In the song, his dance steps are very unnatural, as if he is being grabbed by some force in resistance. He fled several times as if he had turned into a black mist, but each time he was pulled back and continued to jump, his movements stiff like a zombie.

In this way, Luke and Kestrel in the audience drank tea while admiring the grotesque appearance on the stage.

Between the tones of black and white, the horror carries a bit of comicality.

A song "Moonlight Song under the Night Wind" ends, and the plot of the puppet show continues. In Luke's strategy, Kestrel obtains a worn-out piece of leather armor from the manor guards. With weapons and protective gear, the murderer does not dare to kill people easily, and Kestrel and Boiling can live until the beginning of the next scene.

Luke then directs the kestrel to gather information, and before the end of the first act, he is imprisoned on the suspicion that the second son of the owner of the manor is the most suspicious.

The second deceased of the serial murderer in "Kob's Toast's Secret Room" was the second son of the owner of the manor, and the place of death was in the prison of the manor. Give the murderer a head, and he won't kill the detective.

The first act of the puppet show ends, and the music starts again in the cutscene.

"The Thousand Nights Away from Home" tells the story of a traveler who suddenly feels homesick when he is camping in the mountains.

This song is not as widely sung as "Moonlight Song in the Night Wind", and the continuous pitch change in the bass part also makes it difficult for most people to sing it completely.

As a result, after the intro, the kestrel sang along to the tune.

The bass pitch change was clear and smooth, and Luke couldn't help but applaud. He said to Sandpaper, "I didn't expect the kestrel to sing so well!" If I had followed my plan, you would have absolutely no such effect when you sang on it. ”

Sandpaper grimaced: "I'll tell Miss Sunny Sky about what you want to trick me, and she'll definitely help me out." ”

"Don't be so careful." Luke laughed and said, "Actually, your voice is very distinctive, it is unique and metallic. I think you five sisters could form a band...... Consider considering. ”

For Luke's joke, Sandpaper actually thought about it very seriously.

On the stage, the puppets and the boiling kestrels danced to the singing of the kestrels, and the hidden third apostle, Belga, was once again dragged out and danced awkwardly.

At this time, Berga wanted to die.

He couldn't understand how anyone could develop such a perverted secret technique. Because he can't sing, his spirit is constantly attacked, and his body is not controlled, and he is dragged into various poses like a marionette.

This secret technique is placed in the cab of the locomotive.

That's a trap!

This assassination had long been expected by the other party.

After the train was pulled into the space laid out by the abyss mage, the person arranged by the other party in the cab at the front of the train immediately started the train, so that the abyss mage who did not enter the carriage in time fell into the spatial turbulence. At the same time, the spatial coordinates of the train change also make it impossible for the joint secret art to be compounded, and the power of the secret art is greatly reduced.

The other party calculated that he would come to the driver's cab of the train first to stop the train, and arranged a secret technique here in advance.

Now that one's own secret art is fused with the other party's secret technique, a stage of the puppet show will force a song and dance.

After dancing, your body will become weak.

One more dance, the body is even weaker.

It's like dying in the other party's secret art before anyone.

At the end of the second song, Berga retreats backstage to the stage, where his power is lost once more, and he fears that he will die of exhaustion if he does a few more songs.

On the contrary, the other party is confident and confident in his puppet show.

Thinking that the man in the audience could get stuck and not let the puppet show start, Berga lost the confidence he had in the secret technique he had designed.

Can he crack this death-defying secret art?

Thinking of the deaths of the four abyss apostles, thinking of the mysterious elf clear sky, and then looking at the man in the audience drinking tea and applauding.

Berga felt that he was the harlequin of the whole show.

End the arcane art and escape before you die.

Halfway through the second act of the puppet show, the moment the music starts again, Berga immediately dismisses the secret technique of "puppet show in black and white".

The black and white receded, and the carriage regained color.

The puppets all dispersed into dust and disappeared, but the stage was still there. The music stopped abruptly, allowing the kestrel to breathe a sigh of relief, as it was ready to sing.

Two secret techniques merge, one of which is dissolved, and the other is difficult to maintain.

Dressed in black robes, Berga appeared on the stage, and then turned into black smoke and flashed behind the kestrel, and a black mist-like rope strangled the kestrel by the neck.

Berga hid behind the kestrel and poked out half of his head to look at Luke, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a meteorite." ”

Luke pressed the sandpaper that wanted to fly, sat firmly and replied to Belga, "You guessed it, I'm the Meteorite." ”

A red light flashed in Baikal's eyes: "Answer my question, and I'll let her go." ”

"Just ask!"

"How do you know more about my secret art than I do?"

Luke smiled and replied, "Belga, you like reasoning and you're smart. If it weren't for the Abyss's influence and transformation into the Abyss Apostle, he would have been a very famous detective.

Using your reasoning, is the life of my retinue enough to exchange this secret? ”

Berga thought for a moment.

This secret has killed four apostles of the abyss, forced the first apostle to flee, and he himself was deeply ambushed, and it is indeed not the life of an entourage that can be exchanged.

"Good...... I'll change the question. Is there anyone among the apostles who provides information for the clear sky? ”

"Nope!" Luke said truthfully.

But Belga didn't believe it: "Don't lie to me! If it weren't for the Apostles providing you with information, how could you have known so many secrets of the Abyss Temple.

Tell me the truth, or I'll really kill her!" ”

"Yes!" Since the other party didn't believe the truth, Luke had no choice but to lie: "But I won't say who he is, it's not you anyway." ”

"Sure enough, someone betrayed us." Having received the answer he wanted, Berga said, "Actually, when Victor left, I guessed who betrayed the temple, and now I am even more sure that it was him."

You said that the Tedgar Hills have officially begun the process of being incorporated into the Empire, because you control the Abyss Temple, and the Celtic Duke thinks he controls the Abyss Temple.

You shouldn't get too carried away with your plan and let me see the face of a traitor.

Goodbye, Meteor, I'll go find Victor, and we'll retake the Abyss Temple. ”

This......

It can only be said that reading comprehension is such a thing, and everyone has their own ideas. And abyssalization will completely change a person, not only the body, but Belga will not have the spirituality in the previous reasoning, and the professional will become an amateur.

And he himself is not aware of this, and he feels that his reasoning is still very good.

It was to let him go and let the Abyss Temple continue the infighting. Or take this opportunity to kill Belga and pick up another bead.

Belga, behind the Kestrel begins to atomize.

The stage also began to shrink.

The occult influence ended, giving Berga a chance to escape.

The stage closes into a door.

Luke said to Sandpaper, "Let Kestrel recite another whisper: 'Give me another song'." ”

The connection door that had just been closed suddenly reopened, the light curtain dissolved, and the driver's cab at the front of the train changed back to the appearance of the stage.

The lights shine down from above.

This time there are no puppet show sets, and there are no puppets.

On the stage, there were only kestrels standing side by side, boiling kestrel, and the third apostle Baikal in a daze.

What's going on, isn't the secret art over?

How did it start again!

Music plays.

The kestrel cleared its throat and prepared to sing.

Boiling moving his legs and feet, his power comes from steam, and the weakening of energy does not affect his actions, and he is ready to dance a few more dances for Sister Kestrels.

In the audience, Luke crossed his legs and said to Sandpaper, "The new stage is set up, go and get a new cup of tea for Governor Ben." ”

Sandpaper saw that the kestrel was safe and sound, and immediately agreed to go to the teapot.

In the melody, the kestrel sings.

Boiling and Belga swayed to the song.
