Chapter Eighty-Four: The Opera
Although the hound lost the fight, but her physical fitness is really powerful, she was beaten fat, flew from the top of the building to the bottom of the building, fainted for only three or five minutes, shook her head and got up, and spit out the two molars in her mouth with blood, and the bruises and swelling on her face have begun to heal.
Of course, she must have been in a bad mood when she was beaten in public, Leticia's hound was like a water dog at this time, her head was downcast, probably the bridge of her nose was broken, and her nose was full of blood, she didn't even pay attention to the fact that the suitcase was too touched and a pair of stockings were missing, so she didn't say a word and picked up the package of the maid's suite, and squeezed the subway back.
Li Pan was also not angry enough to follow her behind, girl, you said you were more stable! Delay a few more rounds, then Lao Liu Tou himself flashed his waist and went to see a doctor, okay! Waves, waves, waves! Hurry, hurry! He lost four million! Four million! Oh my gosh......
The hound was also restless, and he didn't notice being followed, so he came to the center of the city in frustration, entered through the side door of a huge palace-like building, and used iris identification to punch in and enter the employee passage.
Seeing that there were security guards and drone cameras everywhere, it was too eye-catching to break in like this, so Li Pan went around to the front to take a look.
Oh, the Phantom of Midnight Opera House.
Yes, there is still opera in these years.
Although the people at the bottom like to watch the explosion ball Black Mewtwo, pass the time on the QVN network cable, and if you have a little spare money, at most you can go to the dance hall to pick up a corpse and take a bath in the sauna.
But the upper circle is obviously detached from this low-level taste, probably people need to cultivate cultural sentiments to be energetic. In short, places like the opera house have always been a paradise for the elite to socialize and pretend.
And each company has its own corporate culture, just like Gao Tianyuan's dogs like to sit together and cough cough and drink tea, and in the blood slave circle of the Ye Group, opera and dance parties are the most popular.
It's midnight, it's the time when the lower-level social animals return to the nest, and the upper-level cadres come out to socialize, the main entrance of the theater is full of traffic, and the shuttles take off and land from time to time, and from time to time a pair of elites and celebrities are in formal dresses, suits and leather shoes, and dog-like elites and celebrities, among which there are naturally many vampire elders, a large number of bodyguards and military police at the door, and even night knights on duty.
Li Pan saw that he couldn't get in at the main gate, so he checked it on the Internet, obediently, a ticket for a single game is at least 3,000, which is worth a month's salary of a salaryman! And you can't buy it if you want to, these plays are chartered by bank companies in advance, which is considered a social benefit for elite cadres, and you can't buy them at all if you don't make an appointment to grab tickets three months in advance!
Unable to find a way to infiltrate for a while, Li Pan had to stand at the door, observing the nearby terrain and estimating where to put a fire to take the opportunity to sneak in. While briefly recording today's report, he was about to send Leticia's hound information to K, to see if she had any channels to infiltrate the opera house to reconnoitre, and by the way, she would also be reimbursed for tonight's losses, one million to mention one hundred or eighteen.
Suddenly, a faint fragrance penetrated his nose, and as soon as Li Pan looked up, he saw that the knight chief Emilius, who had dealt with him before, was coming down the marble staircase of the theater.
She was dressed in a silk evening dress, stepping on crystal high heels, coming from the high stone steps, the bottom of the skirt looming, bumping and turning, Li Pan was worried that she would fall out of the air.
"Isn't this Manager Li, what kind of wind is blowing you here? Do you want to come to the opera? ”
After standing so far away for a while, I was captured by the guard camera, and the guard was really well-guarded.
"Your Excellency the Knight, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much, so I just walked around, but I didn't expect to make an appointment......"
This Emilia stretched out her hand to her face, and Li Pan, who was in public, also gave her a face, and kissed her lightly on the back of her hand to show respect.
Probably to attend a formal occasion, Emilia also used perfume today, although I don't know what it is, but it smells quite good, the top notes are fruity notes of pear and lychee, the middle notes have some fresh jasmine and peony floral notes, and the end is musk and laneige.
Every minute she stays by her side, she can feel the unique charm that changes in the air, I don't know if it is spiced, anyway, Li Pan feels a little good now.
It's estimated that it's another five-figure thing in one ounce, and it's worth every penny.
Emilia smiled and said,
"I wanted to have a drink. It just so happens that there is a performance tonight, and it's boring to be alone, so it's better to stay with me. ”
Well? Can you blend in so easily? Let's go.
"The beautiful woman is invited, and she dares to disobey her fate."
Emilia smiled and rubbed over, hit Li Pan with the ball, and then took his hand into the field.
She is the chief knight of the Aemilius clan, the blood of the ruling prince, and the powerful faction of the night clan, and she is a company licking dog and nodding her head all the way.
And Li Pan took the opportunity to sneak into the theater, swept around, and saw the corridor at the end of the garden at a glance.
Hey! There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
Isn't that it? Where he was kidnapped by a werewolf last time for blood!
I thought it was some kind of manor castle, but it turned out to be a theater.
It's no wonder that there is a mistake, this place is a kind of cultural exchange center and museum of the Ye Clan, which basically restores the castle of the blood clan one-to-one, and can occasionally be used as a location for filming. It is also convenient for people to move around.
Werewolves are actually hiding under people's noses, this is the darkness under the lights, right? But if you can sneak into this kind of place in a grand way, I'm afraid there are 'werewolves' within the Ye Clan......
Now Li Pan can't explore independently, so she has to temporarily go upstairs with the knight chief and come to the private room specially arranged for her by the theater.
There were already two men and two women lying in the private room, all four of them were handsome and slim blood slaves wearing only masks and silk nightgowns.
The clearly visible tooth marks on their limbs and torsos were clearly a small snack specially prepared by the theater for Emilia.
Seeing that Li Pan didn't seem to be interested in these gifts, Emilia also waved his hand to let the four blood slaves retreat, and the two sat down on the sofa, and the maid brought them blood plasma and red wine.
From this vantage point, you can see the performance of the amphitheater outside, and the audience seats below with men and women dressed up and wearing masks. And the robot vacuum cleaner on the stage is also sitting and preparing.
"Tonight's play is 'Medea,' which tells the story of the revenge of the desperate Medea, the wife abandoned by the hero Iason."
Li Pan checked on the Internet,
"Oh...... Oh grass? She even killed her own son. ”
This is the opera of the night plane, to put it simply, this Medea's husband Iazon empathizes with love, covets glory, and abandons his wife and children.
However, Medea is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she is a witch, in order to elope with Iasson, she murdered her own brother and broke the corpse, and now after being betrayed, she also murdered her rival cleanly, and stabbed her two sons to revenge on Iazon.
Emilia Channel,
"Don't worry, Grand Knight Captain Cornelia won't chase us because we watched a show."
Li Pan was also a sweater, swallowed his saliva and said with a forced smile,
"Oh, I'm a good-hearted man who can't see these tragedies."
Emilia laughed when she heard this,
"How is this a tragedy, didn't Medea take revenge, didn't Iazon suffer, the princess and the king who ruined other people's marriages were punished by God, and the ignorant teenagers who became accomplices were also betrayed by their own mothers and atoned for the blood on their hands.
This is the story of revenge in which every guilty person has been sanctioned, and it is clean!
I don't know about others, but this play, the manager of the monster company, I think I will definitely like it. ”
Li Pan was stunned,
"What do you mean by that?"
Emilia laughed,
"Spoilers won't be interesting, be patient, and we'll get there later."
As she spoke, she picked up her glass, sucked her red lips one by one, and slowly tasted the blood wine in the glass.
Li Pan had no choice but to be patient, while observing the structure of the theater to find out if there was a werewolf among the maids, and at the same time watching the opera singers perform with subtitles.
The heroine who plays Medea is a professional singer, and her singing skills are really good, although she can't understand it, but she feels so powerful, and the acting skills of the other supporting roles are also very good, and she is amazing. Li Pan couldn't help but be fascinated when he saw it.
And behold, Emilia seized his hand,
"Here, this is the scene."
This scene?
In this scene, Medea's two sons, in order to ask the king not to exile them with their mother, presented Medea's family robe and crown to the princess.
Of course, all this was Medea's plan for revenge, and the golden robe and crown were cursed.
And so everything happened as if the script was written.
The princess put on a golden robe and a golden crown, and suddenly a terrible scene happened.
Her face changed abruptly, her complexion was pale, her whole body trembled, she screamed in horror, her pupils rolled up at the foaming mouth, and she cried out in horror and pain.
At this time, the orchestra under the stage began to play passionately, and in the climax of "Medea's Revenge", wave after wave, in the center of the stage, in front of everyone's eyes, the princess 'boom'! Gotta burn!
The golden crown on her head emitted a golden light like the sun, and the raging fire lit her beautiful face and brilliant blonde hair into a torch, and in an instant her delicate skin and graceful curves were ignited into a burning man, and the golden robe shone in the raging flames, as if the whole person radiated into a brilliant torch.
After such a short performance of a few seconds, the movement ceases momentarily after a climax, and in the silent silence, the sebaceous muscles burn like a princess with pine resin, and falls to the center of the stage with a 'bang'. And the golden crown and the golden robe seem to be as bright as new.
In the midst of the deathly silence of the audience, the king dragged his legs into the middle of the field, whining and crying, and whispering, and turning back three times at a time, as if he did not want to act, but had to act, as if someone had forced him with a gun in the back.
The king didn't know if it was because the feelings he had substituted were too rich, or if he had forgotten the words, and his mouth was intermittently muttering,
"My poor ...... Daughter...... What the hell is ...... Which deity...... Such a mutilation...... Let me, let me, let me old man...... I'm going with you! Ahhh Ahh——!hh ”
As if he could not wait for him to finish his lines, the golden robe suddenly rolled up, and with the charred bones of the princess, was wrapped around the king at once.
The king screamed, the skin of his whole body was burned by the hot golden robe, and the whole person seemed to be burned by a cannon, and he had to smoke and drip with corpse oil, and he couldn't get up if he wanted to, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to, and the roasted flesh stuck to the robe and was torn off piece by piece, and after a few seconds of screaming and struggling, he died on the spot.
And throughout the whole process, the two young men who presented the 'golden robe' and the 'golden crown' stood aside and watched the two living people being roasted.
There was a charming smile of satisfaction on their lips, and a brilliant golden light emanated from their eyes, and the figures behind them were intertwined in the glow of the golden robe and golden crown, and in the strange light and shadow, there seemed to be a human figure standing behind them with an unclear face.
Then Medea's actor appeared, holding something in her hand, holding a dagger in both hands, as if it were some kind of wooden bayonet, or the tip of a slender spear, and tremblingly approached the teenagers in the field.
Trembling so much, in the thick scorching and corpse stench, her lyrics have also gone out of tune. But Medea still approached the two teenagers step by step. Then, in their quiet, even somewhat kind eyes, he threw himself over with all his strength, and stabbed them in the heart.
As the blood flowers bloomed, the two teenagers closed their eyes and fell into their mother's arms, and the glow of the golden robe and crown disappeared like smoke, and the light and shadow behind them disappeared in an instant.
Ending.
The audience was silent for a moment, and then burst into thunderous applause.
Li Pan turned his head, and Emilia looked at him,
"You're pinching me."
Li Pan stared at her,
"That's not 'acting' at all, is it?"
Emilia licked her lips,
"Of course, it is acted, once a year to sacrifice to the 'golden robe and crown of Helios', so that the sun god can see with his own eyes the blood of others, the revenge of his granddaughter Medea, and beg him not to come to the world in person, exactly as you want."
Li Pan narrowed his eyes,
"I want you to burn people like this? Oh, is it a custodial measure? No other way? ”
Emilia crossed her legs,
"Then what do you say, just leave it alone and let those two things fuse on the ground and ignite the atmosphere?
Or throw it into a vacuum and light up two more stellar objects in the solar system?
Throw it farther? How far can it be thrown? What if it swells all the way to a red giant? What about collapsing into a black hole? Is this earth still uninhabitable? ”
Li Pan had nothing to say. In this case, it would be a super easy solution to sacrifice only four people a year.
"So the golden crown and the robe are the monsters of our company......"
Emilia corrected,
"It's not your company, it's ours, and you just gave advice on safekeeping.
There are also similar things, almost all of which have this strange 'ritual' and 'sacrifice'......
But it seems that you don't know anything at all, why, you don't have internal handover procedures or anything like that? ”
"Anything else...... How many? ”
Emilia smiled,
"Knowing what you want, you can't buy it from the Ye Clan, so you can find a way to steal it, right? It's like this every time, can you change some tricks? ”
Li Pan looked at her, "Divide you into thirty?" ”
The chief knight put his head to Li Pan's ear and said softly,
"I want half."
Li Pan squinted his eyes and sneered, "Hehe, half, can you eat it." ”
Emilia scratched his palm, "Do you want to try it, I can't swallow it." ”
Scald! Burn the goods! I just watched Medea burn the junior and seduced Lao Tzu! Is there a bit of a forced number?
Li Pan glanced at her, turned his head, and looked at the stage,
"So what's the use of those two monsters besides burning people, and it's worth keeping like this?"
"Can't you see this, used to 'crown', even a thousand-year-old prince, wearing the crown of the sun god's treasure, will be burned to ashes.
Of course, everything in this world that can cause fatal injuries to Methuselahs must be strictly monitored, otherwise the elders will not be at ease when they sleep. ”
Also, the longer you live, the more afraid you are of death, this 'sun god's clothes' is like a vampire, it took five hundred years to get to the end, and no one wants to be burned to ashes.
Emilia stretched out her hand, followed Li Pan's formal clothes, touched his belt all the way, and blew softly in his ear.
"You don't have to worry about these two, this is the holy relic that our clan is responsible for guarding, and I won't be so stupid as to steal it from the guards on my own head."
Li Pan frowned and pulled her hand out of her belt,
"Eh, if you have something to say, don't move your hands and feet."
Emilia was not angry, and stretched with a smile,
"Don't be embarrassed, I've heard that you really please the great knight, and she even took you to the knight's castle for fun, didn't she?
It's really unheard of, and people really want to learn what you are capable of! ”
As she spoke, she hugged her like a black widow hunting for food, and hugged Li Pan into her arms like a prey.
Li Pan just wanted to throw this woman out, but he heard the other party whispering in his ear,
"The Blood Grail is hidden in the castle of the Cornelius family, isn't that thing coveted by your company for a long time, as long as you promise to give me the Holy Grail to use once, I will help you steal it."
Li Pan was silent for a while.
Emilia took the opportunity to rub his oil,
"Don't worry about your knight chief, she is in charge of going out on duty, and the indoor security is not under her control, and she can't be implicated.
Hehe, maybe she'll help you out. I don't believe she doesn't want to use it. ”
"What's that? You'd better not try to trick me. ”
Li Pan grabbed Emilia with a clasp, and her fingertips were just a few centimeters away from her heart.
Emilia didn't care that Li Pan's right hand could break her through her chest, and she took the initiative to get closer......
"As long as the heart and head are not completely destroyed, our blood clan is basically immortal, and it can be healed and resurrected by putting it in a dead coffin. But eternal youth and immortality are just appearances.
If you are hit the battlefield, you will still be in a dying sleep, and if you go to the coffin for too long and inject too much artificial blood for first aid, it will lead to a significant decrease in ability, and even lose your past memories and skills, and it will take a long time to recover.
If you don't lie in a dead coffin and sleep, you can't do it, if you stay alive, your body functions will always continue to decline, and even worse, because you drink too much human blood, triggering the 'blood mourning', you should be a cyber psychosis of the blood clan.
Once it attacks, it will be swallowed up by the memories of others, and even completely lose itself, becoming a blood beast that runs out of control, and the older the blood clan, the greater the risk.
But as long as we exchange the Blood Grail for blood, we can activate our bloodline memories, heal the 'Sorrow of Blood', and regain our lost power. In short, as long as it is a blood clan, it will not refuse the gift of the Holy Grail.
It's just that the Holy Grail has always been exclusive to the Prince, and only the triumphal ceremony of the elders and the promotion ceremony of the blood servant are given.
I am now the Knight Captain of the House of Aemilius, and I have access to the Holy Grail, and you are a dependant of Cornelius, so we have the opportunity to do so, and we will work together to take advantage of the change of consuls. ”
Li Pan was a little puzzled,
"Aren't you also a knight chief, so you're about to be promoted, right? Won't you be done waiting? ”
Emilia grabbed him angrily,
"Do you think you'll be able to get on the throne when you're old? How many people in the council are vying for places! And the promotion will only give you two or three sips! Not enough for me to heal the Sorrow of Blood!
My term of office is coming to an end, and I will wait at least two hundred years for her to sleep! Do you want me to go to the streets to keep vigil like Catherine?
If you touch my figure, I'm not a fighting type at all, okay? I don't want to become one of those disgusting blood beasts! ”
Li Pan Khan is one, too, she is a fighting figure in another sense......
"Well, I'm thinking about ......"
"Huh! It's all done here, do a full set of acts! I'd like to see what you have to fool K! ”
The knight turned over and rode up, bared his fangs, and bit down on Li Pan.
I'm sorry guys, sometimes it's a card review, thank you for your support!
