0250 Rest assured, it'll be fine
In Leon's somewhat confused expression, the puppet actor hanging by silk threads on the stage had already finished reciting his opening words with emotion.
Next, I saw him stepping on the stage with great aesthetic strides, and his figure seemed to walk quickly and slowly towards the next "plot point", while Leon took advantage of the "transition" gap when the tavern set was being built on the stage, leaned into the princess's ear, and asked suspiciously:
"Veronica, is that actor in your stands a human or a puppet?"
Well? What is the problem?
Queen Veronica was slightly stunned when she heard this, and she didn't understand why Leon asked this, but after remembering Leon's "work", her expression immediately became serious, and she also tilted her head and bit her ear and said:
"People! In my eyes, it's human! Do you think Elijah was a puppet? β
"Hmmm......"
Looking at the tavern gradually lit up under the stage lights, and the heroine in the tavern with a tray of props and dancing in her skirt, Leon frowned and said:
"There is not only one actor, in my eyes, all the actors who appear on the stage are all talking puppets wearing clothes, and we should have encountered an abnormal incident.
Veronica, you're a big fan of Wilde, so you should be keeping an eye on the Morning Star Theatre Company, right? β
News worth paying attention to?
Knowing that Leon was gathering information and preparing to complete the anomaly cleanup, Queen Veronica did not rush to ask questions after glancing at the stage pitifully, but tried to recall it quite cooperatively.
"There's something strange about that."
After searching in her mind, Wang Nuxiu frowned slightly and said:
AndrΓ©, the chief actor of the Morning Star Theatre Company and the longest-serving collaborator with Maestro Wilde, was boycotted because of the scandal and never found a suitable replacement.
After that, the few performances that followed, because of the run-in problems with the new actors, were very low in the mouths of theater lovers, and the master Wilde seemed to be very annoyed by this, and took the initiative to reduce the number of performances in the troupe and began to conduct closed training.
However, some reporters found that the food sent in by the Central Cross Theater during the training was not touched at all, and was thrown directly into the surrounding trash cans, so it was suspected that the closed training was just a cover, and it was very noisy for a while......"
No one touched the food delivered by the theater?
Leon frowned slightly when he heard this, feeling that this news seemed a little familiar, and after carefully flipping through the notebook he was carrying, he finally remembered it suddenly.
After the bloody night of Lane, the basically recovered self ran from the hospital back to the Cleanup Bureau, and before he was trapped in the police department dungeon, the chief had given himself some investigative tasks.
These include herders who have gone missing in search of goats in Pavshire, arsonists roaming around the Lauther Arcades, food problems with the Morning Star Theatre, and so on.
At that time, after turning around for a while, I felt that these tasks did not look abnormal, and finally chose to take over the task of going to Rose Manor to rescue Amy.
And when he infiltrated the chaotic party later, he found out that the arsonist was the owner of the anomaly of the chaotic party, and he liked to smell people with his nose to smell the burning man Tiger, and now the Morning Star Theater Troupe has really had an accident.
If you count the Weighing Gold Sect Priest you met in the Rose Manor, three of the four tasks you got at that time have been confirmed to be related to the anomaly, and it seems that the level of your own director's "sending tasks" is not ordinarily high.
β¦β¦
"Leon?"
After waiting for a while and not hearing Leon's answer, the princess couldn't help but ask softly:
"How? Did you find anything? Are these people who come to see the drama dangerous? β
"There's a discovery, and it's good news."
Leon, who came back to his senses, nodded and said:
"If what I see is true, then the reason why the food delivered by the theater is thrown away is because all the actors of the entire troupe have become puppets who don't need to eat.
From that time to now, a long time has passed, but during this period, there have been no large-scale disappearances or casualties among the audiences who watched the play, which proves that this anomalous event is relatively stable and will most likely not affect the audience. β
"That's good......"
After hearing Leon's words, Queen Veronica couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then leaned over and asked softly:
"What can I do for you? Secretly let people organize an evacuation? Or ......"
"Don't, don't do anything!"
After rejecting the princess's proposal, Leon tilted his head and said softly:
"Since there have been so many performances in the past, the audience has been able to leave safely, and there have been no large-scale events that can alarm our sub-bureau, so it should be safe to simply watch the show.
According to Emma's leftovers...... Following the experience taught to me by a senior person, when the specific capabilities of an anomaly are uncertain, and it is unlikely that it will cause large-scale harm, it is absolutely not to rush to upset the current balance.
So what we should do now is to wait in the box for six hours until the performance is completed and the vast majority of the audience, including you, have been safely evacuated, and then I will find a way to bring back the seniors in the bureau and complete the cleanup as safely as possible. β
"Okay, I'll listen!"
Queen Veronica nodded, her cold little hands grasped Leon's palm, her lips pressed against Leon's earlobe, and she whispered softly with some unease:
"Remember to stay safe, if there's anything I can do, just let me know and I'll do my best to help."
"Hmmm......"
His neck was a little itchy from the breath spit out by the princess, and Leon, who had finished asking for information, moved his body slightly uncomfortably, trying to return to a posture of sitting upright.
But at this moment, he found that the princess's soft palm was slightly damp, the upper body leaning over was also trembling uncontrollably, and the legs under the long skirt were also slightly together, acting very nervous.
After a slight hesitation, Leon broke away from her right hand, wrapped his arm around her back, and whispered softly in her ear:
"Don't worry, this anomaly isn't dangerous, and with me, you'll be fine."
ββ¦β¦β
The princess, who was suddenly embraced, was a little surprised, looked up at Leon in the dim box, and after noticing his concerned expression, she lowered her head and hummed softly, and then obediently leaned into his arms.
Actually, I wasn't afraid, but I drank a little too much hot water in the carriage, and I was a little anxious...... But that's not bad~
Matching Leon's movements, leaning back into his arms, feeling someone's strong and fiery young body, the princess couldn't help biting her lower lip slightly, and showed a satisfied smile at an angle that Leon couldn't see.
I also know how to take care of my emotions, I can, it's not good to you in vain~
