Chapter 7: The Midnight Opera
On a rainy night, the thick black ink stains the canvas of the sky, and the sky weeps and leaves clear tears.
As night falls, the city of Gray awakens like a sleeping beast, old but still bright neon lights lit up with dust.
The homeless people who slept on the street hurriedly hid in the corners, because it was the time for the degenerate to move, and the rotten nightlife began, and their garbage was not allowed to be stored on the streets.
If the Holy City doesn't care about ordinary people inside, but still has face on the surface, then the Fallen Organization can be said to be above board and does not treat ordinary people as human beings.
In such a dirty, chaotic, violent and lustful city, there is a petite and beautiful figure walking on the street.
Mia carefully avoided the two fighting drunks, looked at their reddened eyes and said nervously:
"Can't see me, can't see me......"
The people on the street didn't seem to see this cute and beautiful girl, according to the situation in the past, it is impossible for such a girl to appear here, if there is, there is only one situation, that is, a certain old lady's daughter was kidnapped.
If this had been the case, the surrounding thugs would have rushed up to her, coaxing her and exchanging her for higher status, power and wealth.
However, Mia is like a ghost from another time and space, observing the every move of the people around her, but no one can notice her.
The girl was a little tired and stood under a telephone pole to rest for a while.
She doesn't have the so-called physical limitations, but mentally Mia feels tired.
It's been almost two days, and she still hasn't heard any useful information, which makes the girl a little disappointed, because according to the instructions given to her by Su Ling, she still hasn't heard any information for two days, even if this mission fails, she can only wait for the Holy City army to come to the rescue and clean up the ghosts here.
Neither the mastermind behind the Fallen nor the mysterious horror doll can be found, and on the surface there are only a few homeless people and drunks in the city, but secretly there are turbulent waves.
The girl shook her head and cheered herself up: "No, Mia, you can't disappoint your brother!" β
She plucked up her courage and headed for the only place that had not been explored, the Farr Opera House.
It was too far away for her to stay there for long, otherwise the symbiotic link would be unstable and dissipate due to the distance, so if she still couldn't get the information, she would have to go back the way she came.
"May Mr. Rabbit bless me......" Mia prayed with her hands folded before trotting towards the opera house.
The buildings along the route have obviously changed a lot, and the style has begun to be full of art, with various shapes emerging in an endless stream, which is quite like visiting an exhibition.
Mia walked down the Farr Avenue leading to the opera house with some surprise in her heart.
From here, the number of homeless and drunken people decreased significantly, and the thugs who had sucked up were few and far between, replaced by heavily armed guards with piercing eyes.
An addict was visibly skatering and toddler in the direction of the opera house, and a bullet hit him in the head as soon as he stepped on the path leading to the opera house.
The guard guarding the gate put away his gun, looked at the entrance of the road was already full of corpses, and complained helplessly to his companions: "This group of waste, so many people who have died don't know how to be afraid, always cause us trouble, why doesn't the leader dispose of this garbage, the reputation of our organization is about to be ruined by these guys." β
The companion glanced at the pedestrians on the street to make sure there were no suspicious elements, and then turned to him and said:
"Chief, they're negotiating with Miss Mercury Sand...... These miscellaneous pieces are all gifts we are going to give her, and when the time comes, they will all be transformed into puppets and tied to bombs, and it is best to resist the army of the Holy City, hehe, see if they will shoot? After all, this is also a human being~"
He shrugged: "And what reputation do we have, if we can understand, we will understand, we are fighters in pursuit of freedom and independence, not groveling slaves!" β
Their conversations were so quiet that no one should be able to hear them from a distance.
But Mia heard it clearly, and she stood beside the two of them, and the two guards with murderous eyes did not notice her.
The girl glanced at the magnificent building that stood behind the Iron Thorn Gate, this opera house built by the original mayor Farr was quite luxurious, and it was a place where the powerful and powerful always had to go, even if the rise of technology and various forms of entertainment were derived in the future, it was not abandoned, but as a grand stage for annual performances, inviting celebrities.
"The bad guys are talking about the conspiracy inside......
A light raindrop fell, wetting the trees in the nearby green belt, bringing a gloomy and melancholy atmosphere.
Mia shuddered unconsciously as the midnight opera house was now lit up, as if a grand show was going on.
It's only the devil who comes in the middle of the night, right?
But the girl still bravely walked into this opera house because she didn't want to disappoint Su Ling.
Easily passing through the wall, Mia was shocked by the first scene she saw when she entered the opera house.
On the stage, an opera is being performed, apparently "Faust", about the dealings between mortals and devils.
The actors are handsome and beautiful, and every movement is perfect, which is really an excellent opera team.
The audience's mind is not on this.
The auditorium was divided into two sections, with only one person on the left and a full seat on the right.
They whispered as if they were talking about something.
Mia tiptoed up to the audience and saw the true faces of these two groups of peopleβ
On the left, there is a silver-haired girl with her eyes closed, a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, and her beautiful face is like a silver moon in the night sky, and the holy white lotus on the snow-capped mountain, which makes people wonder what kind of style she will have when she opens her eyes.
On the right, Mia is familiar.
At first glance, she recognized the leader of the rampant clan who had come to provoke that day.
But the once swaggering creature is now being trampled under someone's feet, lying on his stomach like a dog.
Linda rubbed the back of the leader of the rampant clan with the sole of her shoe: "Get on your stomach, otherwise your head will not be protected, damn, even if you are acting, it will be difficult to bear if you dare to make a joke about me!" β
Scarface had lost his former rampantness, moved his body, and said flatteringly: "My lord, how about this?" β
"Lie down a little lower and raise your waist."
Linda lifted Erlang's legs and stretched her waist, revealing her plump and sturdy figure without a doubt, but no one around dared to take a look, and turned her head one after another.
Mia was already frozen.
How could this be, shouldn't this "cool big sister" in her opinion be the most innocent and innocent of the four?
She endured her horror and continued to observe.
Although the silver-haired girl on the side had her eyes closed, she seemed to be able to see things, and turned her face to Linda, and said in a playful tone:
"Oh, it's not good to treat your subordinates like this."
"You don't mind my business," Linda replied indifferently, "How's that guy doing?" β
The girl smiled and beckoned: "Nature is foolproof, and the storage is a work of art." β
The servant puppet in the corner brought something and covered it with a red cloth.
Linda lifted the red cloth, and Cillin's head was placed on a delicate platter, her eyes wide with anger, and her mouth opened to scold, her expression was extremely impactful.
The skin has turned a resinous luster, and no one can doubt that it is a wood carving, and with that expressive expression, it is indeed a work of art.
"Dangdangdang~" The silver-haired girl introduced Linda, "How about it, it took a little thought, there was no blood at all, do you like it?" β
Her tone was cheerful, as if it was pleasant for her to tear down a human head and turn it into a sculpture.
Linda held Cillin's head and stroked the skin that had become a wood carving, and the texture was a little hard.
She looked at the eyes that were wide with anger, and let out a long sigh:
"Well, why can't you understand it in the end?"
Linda babbled: "It was I who inadvertently pushed the book about the Fallen to you, it was I who inadvertently revealed the news of the Fallen, I thought you could understand...... In the end, you didn't plan to join us, and sure enough, verbal understanding didn't get in the way of swords. β
She spread out her hand, and the "wooden head" fell to the ground and shattered: "Okay, it was originally just a way to save you as a way to gain trust, but I didn't expect it to be really moved in the end, the only advantage of literary and artistic youth is probably romance?" β
She lit a cigarette and spat out a smoke ring: "Whew, I'm not used to being used to no one to persuade me to smoke less." β
The silver-haired girl spoke, "Do you love him?" β
Linda scratched her head: "I'll kill you if I ask again, don't think I can't do it." β
She patted the broadsword she was carrying behind her.
"Ahaha~" The silver-haired girl was obviously a little jealous of this ferocious woman, "Your Excellency Meat Grinder's prestige is like thunder, how dare I offend?" β
"Hmph," Linda snorted coldly, "Nonsense, how is your army of strong puppets doing?" The Holy City is about to be overwhelmed. β
"Ah, this one...... the silver-haired girl clapped her hands, "It's not bad, the information you gave is really useful, and even A-level psionics can fully control it now." β
A man walked out from behind the stage of the theater and stood gracefully in front of the girl, bowing respectfully, with a vivid expression and a humble tone, not at all as indifferent as a robot before: "Master, it is my honor to obey the dispatch and serve you. β
Mia held her breath.
Aqua blue robes with a strong aura of water elements......
Isn't that Zell?!
Now that all the members of the team have appeared, what has happened?
When she wanted to go back to report, Linda's fierce gaze stabbed at her location: "Hehe, it seems that a little mouse has mixed in, I said how I always feel like being spied on." β
Her figure disappeared in place, the ferocious force like a tyrannosaurus rex awakening, so fast that even a high-speed camera could only see the afterimage.
Mia stared blankly at the broadsword slashed above her head, and there was only one thought in her mind:
"Am I going to die?"
