112 Case 9: Battles Outside the Realm (5)

The crimson flowers fill the lower half of the view, and the petals are as smooth as silk, and it looks so precious and delicate that it seems that with a little more force, it can make it fall off the receptacle.

Almost subconsciously, Tang Zeyu held his breath.

He reached out and slowly took the branch. The fingertips of the mid-air leaves inadvertently rubbed the back of Gin's hand, and the touch of the body temperature made his fingertips tremble.

He was speechless for a moment.

In his quiet and trivial daily life, he instinctively created surprises, because the surprise of Gin Yao when it was unveiled would give him a sense of heartfelt satisfaction.

But at this moment, the expectation of the gift Yao suddenly turned into another more intense emotion, he just wanted to send a bouquet, but he never expected this kind of coincidence to happen, far beyond the expectation of the surprise of Yao so that he didn't know what to say for a while.

He chose tonight, and not just because of the barrage prompts. This in itself is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity:

The Spider Leaf Illusion Show will not appear in front of Conan's eyes, which also means that the two of them will not be interrupted by the choice of one of the three at any time, and the monster thief Kidd has also been controlled from acting, this night is completely for two people, and there will be no emergencies to disturb them.

If it's not something else on the table, this trip is like a secret date.

The vehicle drove through the LED screen at the intersection, and the poster with a dark blue background and gold thread passed overhead. The countdown above has been reset to zero, and the promotional slogan of Golden Yao has become:

"So tonight, let's go to the fantasy festival."

Tang Zeyu came back to his senses at this time, he turned his head and looked back, and asked casually, "Is the test manpower arranged?" ”

"Chianti leads the team."

Tang Zeyu remembered that this was a short-haired, irritable old lady, and couldn't help but be surprised: "She? ”

Gin briefly explained: "Grumpy, calm. ”

Tang Zeyu thought about it along his train of thought, and found that this arrangement was indeed reasonable. Some personality traits that may become weaknesses can be used in the unique role of the gin under the arrangement of the gin Yao.

Tang Zeyu turned around and sat upright in the passenger seat, and suddenly became a little curious: "What about Cologne?" ”

- This is a taciturn and introverted man, except as a sniper, Tang Zeyu really can't think of how he can use it.

Gin said, "Take the comic and track the target." ”

Tang Zeyu suddenly laughed.

Indeed, both in character and appearance, Coren is a perfect fit for the characteristics of the abandoned house, a man who is addicted to comics on the street, and it is difficult for anyone to be wary of him.

Tang Zeyu suddenly opened the door of the new world, and he mentioned a few more people in a row, and they all heard their other strange and small tasks outside of their own duties.

Finally, Tang Zeyu asked, "What about you?" ”

Gin didn't hear this sentence clearly, he was returning to the steering wheel, so he tilted his head slightly: "Huh? ”

"I'm asking you, Mr. Kurosawa," Karasawa Yu held his face with one hand, "what else is there to work outside the organization?" ”

The silver-haired man who was driving seemed to chuckle lowly. "Isn't it enough to pick you up and drop you off and work?"

"N-enough." Tang Zeyu lazily dragged out his voice.

The green light at the intersection in front of you turned red, and Toyota applied the brakes at the intersection. Gin's voice grew lower and he uttered a noun. Tang Zeyu recognized this little routine at a glance, raised his eyebrows slightly, but still cooperated to get up.

So a kiss landed on the corner of her lips.

...

*

At half past seven in the evening, the New National Theater in Tokyo, half an hour before the opening of the illusion show.

This is Japan's largest indoor theater, and the identity of the Spider's "World Chief Illusionist GΓΌnter von Goldberg II" and the overwhelming publicity of the Yao made this illusion show finally set at this performance venue. The interior of the theater is divided into two floors, which is large enough to accommodate more than 3,000 spectators.

At night, the Yao Theater is brightly lit, with fragrant clothes and sideburns, and luxury cars and people flow like clouds. The audience at the entrance invariably changed into formal black suits.

The illusion show has only one tour in Japan, and even the most ordinary of them are hard to come by, and in a way, it has become a hidden symbol of social identity.

At the innermost end of the underground parking lot of the theater, in a secluded corner without light, there was the sound of a woman falling at this moment.

Chianti was wrapped in a gorgeous gown, the precious fabric glittering, but in her eyes it was just flashy and fragile. The loss of her self-defense bulletproof tank made her more and more irritable, and in the face of this row of low-level members, she became more and more unpleasant.

She clasped her hands to her chest and said coldly, "Remember? ”

The people in front of him nodded wildly in unison.

These are four office workers in suits and leather shoes, and when their necks are shrunk, their height is almost the same as that of Chianti who is stepping on high heels.

As a low-level member of the organization, except for occasional tasks, they are usually no different from mediocre social animals. The decent status of middle-class Yao allowed them to get a ticket on the first floor of the theater that was not far from the stage, which is why they would be assigned to the mission, if it weren't for that, they might not have seen a single codename member for the rest of their lives.

Chianti was angry when he saw this timid look, but he didn't know that it was his terrifying aura that made these people afraid of this. She bowed her head and said, "Now, repeat." ”

The four of them were lined up according to their height, and Chianti didn't bother to remember their names, so he simply numbered them one by one in his heart. Now that he is a stupid big one, he flashed the earbuds in his hand: "I need to plug my ears." ”

The stupid big number two took out a nasal plug: "I plug my nose." ”

Number Three: "I close my eyes. ”

In the end, Yao No. 4 was more special, he took the eye mask and earplugs, and said tremblingly: "I don't listen or watch." ”

Not a single person misremembered the task. "Good," Chianti waved his hand perfunctorily, "and let's go." ”

The calloused hands with the gun were too obvious, and she also wore a pair of black gauze gloves, and the loss of her fingers made her feel even worse, Chianti strode out of the parking lot, and kept muttering in her heart: ...... I don't know what the boss is going to do.

Behind him, the big ones from one to four glanced at each other, and hurriedly followed.

*

The reason for this arrangement was because Tang Zeyu wanted to know through which the Spider Yao Illusion took effect.

With just one shot in the air, the cunning Monster Thief Kidd lost consciousness. The passage of Black Feather Kuaidou Yao's move made Tang Zeyu initially lock the scope of speculation on either the auditory or visual Yao.

Smell is also a common means of influencing Yao, but the wind is strong at high altitude, and any smell should be blown away by the strong wind, for the sake of safety, he also set up a control group of olfactory Yao.

He changed out of the police uniform, and the gin was still the same black coat for 10,000 years, and the inside 的...

; The sweater was changed to a white shirt.

Tang Zeyu pushed the door and got out of the car, looked up and asked Gin to adjust his tie, reached out and took off his black felt hat, and held it in his hand.

"The two seats are in the box on the second floor, please turn right and go upstairs."

The first floor of the theater is a row of crowded auditoriums, and the second floor is set up around the wall to provide for big people who don't want to show up. The waiter opened the curtain with a long pole, and the teapot was refilled, and the Tang Ze Yuhe Gin almost arrived at Yao, and there was no one else in the passage all the way, and as soon as he sat down, the headlights of the venue suddenly went out.

The waiter quietly withdrew, and darkness covered every corner.

Yuyao Karazawa's back stiffened imperceptibly, and then another body temperature came up. In the darkness, Gin took his hand.

A snow-white spotlight is lit up above the stage, and the golden spider web shines under the halo of the fan-shaped leaf.

The audience at the bottom let out a whisper of amazement, the spider silk is intricately arranged, and the gorgeous gold color makes it look like a work of art. A person slowly descended from the sky, and the perspective of the second floor was clearer, and he could see two long threads hanging behind him, the material of which was the same as spider silk.

β€”GΓΌnther von Goldberg II, Spider.

The spider silk dragged him to a halt in mid-air, looking like he was standing on the giant web. The sound of gasping came and went, and the blonde man opened his arms, as if he was hugging everyone:

β€œWelcome to——”

Tang Zeyu subconsciously held Gin's hand back, his eyes were still firmly fixed on the stage, and he didn't forget to repeat in a whisper: "Don't look at it, wake me up as soon as there is a situation." ”

Among the two people, he experienced the illusion of Yao for a long time, and Tang Zeyu argued with Gin for a long time at home, and finally won by a narrow margin. Gin sighed helplessly, and in the next second, the person next to him suddenly shook!

Tang Zeyu was still open, but his body lost his center of gravity like a kite, leaned forward and lost his support, and immediately fell to the side.

The aftermath continued, but there was a strange silence in the venue, and all the sounds of the living disappeared.

Gin's heart sank.

He supported the unconscious Yu Karasawa, his eyes avoided the stage, and looked at the audience on the first floor. Nearly 3,000 Yao seats were full, but the rows of Yao people below were staring blankly, leaning back on the back of the chair, looking at the front in a daze.

The theater seems to be dragged into a large nightmare, and the only sobber onlooker is Gin, who takes a deep breath and barely resists the urge to check the stage.

On the stage, the people are buttoned up with a mask and three rotating red lanterns on it.

*

Tang Zeyu's eyes flickered, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in the darkness.

This space was weightless, and he couldn't use his strength, so he could barely maintain his balance. The darkness slowly faded like a tide, and a spotlight lit up not far away, illuminating a circular stage that appeared at some point, and the purple and red curtain slowly opened, which was a theater that was about to start.

Everything is exactly the same as a few minutes ago, except that this time it didn't happen in reality, but directly simulated in front of him with illusion.

A very amazing opening.

Tang Zeyu slowly calmed down, and at this time,...

He felt the tightness on his wrist steady and forceful.

It seems to be in a state of confusion by illusion

, people can still feel the stimulation of the outside world.

Tang Zeyu shook it back, but he didn't know if his body had reacted under the manipulation of consciousness. In the illusion, the stage opened, and Tang Zeyu took advantage of the situation to look ahead.

This is a retro Yao stage play that tells a medieval love story.

The male protagonist's costume is decorated with layers of intricate white lace, wearing tight socks, and high-top Martin boots are polished. This is a young man of the aristocracy, who knelt down on one knee in front of the heroine, and said with affection:

"I dedicate this unique gem to you, symbolizing that your love is indestructible and will always shine."

The heroine is the daughter of a farmer, with a dark gray skirt and a few freckles scattered on her face. She was moved to cry red in the corners of her eyes, and solemnly accepted the gift with both hands.

…… In all fairness, Spider Yao's artistic attainments are good, if the content of the story is not so old-fashioned.

This is a play similar to Cinderella Yao, in which the prince fell in love with the girl in the countryside at first sight and gave a gem as a token of love. The young sister was very jealous of her good luck, and secretly plotted to take away the gems, and constantly assigned her dirty and tiring farm work.

Next, Tang Zeyu had to endure dozens of minutes of long and high-pitched opera singing, and the girl and the prince exchanged thoughts about the moon. The performance finally came to the climax, the noble and elegant Prince Yao personally came to the countryside to look for the girl who fell in love at first sight, the girl was assigned to the horse pen to scrub, and the sisters raised their hands to recommend themselves, and dug out the clip of Yao getting along with the girl and put it on their heads. Even the gem could not identify the identity of the maiden, and the prince couldn't, so he had to announce loudly in front of everyone:

"Whoever can tell the secret of the gem is my future wife."

The sisters looked at each other, they only cared to inquire about the stories of the flowers before the moon and the moon, who would have thought that there were secrets in a gem? At this time, a hand was raised timidly behind the crowd, and the freckled girl spoke, "I know." ”

Tang Zeyu suddenly perked, he had a premonition that he had endured nearly half an hour of boredom, just to wait for this last word.

"Just look at the moonlight, and the gem will shimmer with a mysterious red glow,"

The girl took a breath and added in a whisper, "You also told me that its name is 'Pandora'." ”

*

In an instant, the lights went out and the stage sank into darkness. In the boundless weightless space, only one voice rang in my ears.

It seemed to be there and nothing, looming, and the magnetic tone seemed to have a kind of demagogic magic, and the voice said word by word:

"You're interested in Pandora."

Karasawa muttered and repeated, "I'm very interested in Pandora. ”

His temples jumped suddenly, and Tang Zeyu was suddenly startled, and suddenly broke free from this semi-hypnotic state. There were thousands of echoes in the boundless darkness, and it seemed that countless people were speaking to themselves neatly and mechanically: "I'm interested in Pandora. ”

In the next second, a cloud of light suddenly erupted in the darkness!

When I opened my eyes again, there were already thousands of figures near Yuyao Karazawa: the entire theater audience was floating in the dark. Unlike Yu Karazawa, they are wooden like dolls, like blocks being hung high的...

; Pork, eyes blank, arms hanging limply at his side.

The audience formed a three-dimensional Yao hemispherical shape, and the center of the ball was a golden giant spider web, and in the middle of the spider web stood Yao Ren who still maintained the posture of opening his arms and embracing the air, which was the illusion showman, the spider.

In the illusion, he did not wear a snow-white costume, but a pitch-black tight-fitting suit, wearing a mask, and three red lights on it, which kept turning round and round.

His tone is also like that of the hero and heroine of the theater, and he said the next sentence in a high-pitched and aria tone:

"You're going to go crazy looking for him."

Everyone followed him and muttered, "I'm going to go crazy looking for him." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Tang Zeyu gradually understood what was happening in front of him.

The audience is immersed in a dream, they have just experienced the same as themselves, everyone has seen the same theater performance, and in the process of enjoying the performance, they will gradually be manipulated by spiders and lose their minds.

It is not wrong to say that the scene in front of you is hypnotic, at this time, the spider Yao command is directly imprinted in the subconscious.

When they wake up, the audience will probably only remember the theater performance, and they will not have any impression of spider hypnosis, but the order he gave will be firmly engraved in their hearts.

…… It's like these thoughts come from them spontaneously.

Tang Zeyu frowned slightly. The spider in the web continued, he was immersed in the scene in front of him, opening his arms and waving continuously, like a preoccupied conductor:

"And all this is because the great monarch GΓΌnther von Goldberg II needs it!" His voice became more and more high-pitched, more and more intoxicated: "His will is my will, his will is my will, his expectation is my expectation, and my great monarch needs Pandora!" - Good at conquering Yao's subjects, bring it to me! ”

Although Tang Zeyu broke free from the influence of hypnosis, the echoing voices of Yao couldn't get rid of it, they hovered in his ears like flies, and his awake mind gradually became dim...... But suddenly he stepped on the air!

The feeling of falling made Karasawa Yu wake up suddenly, and the audience, the darkness, and the cobwebs all disappeared, and the crimson leaf was a vast sky, low overhead.

Not far away, the fire was blazing, the wings of the helicopter were spinning in circles and circles, and his consciousness suddenly returned to this scorched earth.

Tang Zeyu stumbled up from the ground, his brain as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and he fainted for a while.

He felt that he might have inadvertently triggered some self-protection mechanism to wake up...... I'm not too awake to come back here. Tang Zeyu frowned and looked around, the helicopter was still parked in place, its wings spinning quietly.

When he turned to the back, Tang Zeyu suddenly saw something, and his pupils suddenly dilated in an instant-

*

"Yu. …… Abundant? ”

Lifting his eyelids, the pupils of the sleepy man were still dilated, and he did not respond to his call.

Gin's eyebrows gradually twisted.

A moment later, a biting chill hit his arm. As if an arrow had penetrated the drowsy head, Tang Zeyu was ruthless, and then he slowly woke up.

...

"I ......," he still hadn't reacted to, "what's wrong with me?" ”

His wrist was still tightly clasped by Gin, and his consciousness slowly returned, and there was a wet and cold touch on his right arm, and Gin poured half a glass of ice water on his arm.

The disconnected brain began to receive information belatedly, and the next second, Yu Tang realized that "I lost consciousness?" ”

"Almost, not very good."

Gin handed a glass of water to the corner of his lips, and Tang Zeyu took a few sips of his hand. He finally came to his senses, frowned and recalled, "It seems like I had a dream...... Hmmm......"

He tilted his head, "Content...... I don't remember. But not a good thing. ”

"There may be some self-defense mechanism, because the content of the second half of the Yao doesn't seem to match the style of the previous one, and the spider seems to be ...... Wait,"

Tang Zeyu finally remembered the most important clue in the illusion.

"Spider has revealed Pandora's signature!"

*

Tang Zeyu said that he was a little anxious, and the next second he wanted to get up from the chair, but he pressed him back to his seat.

Gin Yao pressed one hand on his shoulder, half-clasped his chin, and forced him to swallow again.

The cold temperature slid down his stomach before he said, "What's the hurry?" Isn't that what you planned? ”

Tang Zeyu was stunned for a moment, and his strength gradually weakened.

"yes......" he shook his head in annoyance, "yes, this is...... How did I forget. ”

Gin calmly pointed out: "The influence of the illusion is deeper than you think. ”

"What do you see in there?"

Tang Zeyu fell into a memory, his pupils were inevitably a little dilated, and his expression was confused and distant.

Gin paid close attention to the side of his face.

In the first half of the coma, Yuyao Karasawa behaved no different from the lifeless audience below, and Gin stayed by his side. Immediately after, Tang Zeyu's brows furrowed, his fingers curled up unconsciously, and he seemed to have experienced great pain and struggle in the illusion.

The voice couldn't wake him up, and Gin couldn't, so he picked up half a glass of ice water.

After a moment, Tang Zeyu came back to his senses.

"I can't remember......," he said, "I just feel like there's one thing that needs to be done." ”

"If you don't finish your words quickly, something bad will happen," he muttered, rubbing his temples vigorously, "but what is that?" ”

"Let it pass in your dreams. I'm here. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well. ”

Yu Karasawa burrowed into his black coat and took a deep breath. Sitting quietly for a moment calmed him down, and then he stood up again.

"After that, it's the next step."

The vast hall was silent and silent, and the stage was covered with golden cobwebs, and Yu Karasawa pressed the button.

The smoke generator that had already been installed on the top of the hall was activated in an instant, the fire emergency device was awakened, and countless hidden corners rushed out of the water column!

However, it was all silent, and there was no shrill fire alarm - the radio circuit was controlled by another button, and Tang Zeyu did not turn it on.

He was woken up by half a cup of cold tea from Gin, and it can be seen that the fire alarm spewing out a column of water should have the same effect.

However, my own situation is special, so I have to make sure that...

Whether the water flow can crack the spider illusion still needs more people to verify.

Tang Zeyu activated the device, stepped back, and Gin opened the black umbrella with one hand, covering him.

TBC.
