The Haunted

"How was he discovered?" Chi Yan's eyes flashed a hint of pity and fear, his hands were trembling slightly, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Ye Yingzhi.

Ye Yingzhi's expression was still indifferent and calm, he was still watching everything that was happening on the stage intently, without even glancing at his lover beside him, but his hand responded to Chi Yan's question.

Chi Yan was sitting on Ye Yingzhi's right. Ye Yingzhi gently put his right hand on his waist, then slowly slid down, pulled open his neat shirt, gently poked it in from the hem, and then went deep along the hem of his trousers. It didn't stop until it reached the position of his tailbone, and gently pressed the index finger and middle finger on his tailbone, pointing and turning: "Here."

In front of the crowd, and at such a terrified juncture, Chi Yan blushed because of his action and swung his waist slightly, but he didn't dare to dodge too much because he was worried about attracting the attention of the audience, so he could only use a slightly reproachful voice in a low voice. The tone called Ye Yingzhi's name to remind him: "Ye Yingzhi..."

Ye Yingzhi still had a calm and composed expression, and still didn't look back at him, but continued to explain in a calm tone: "Have you noticed? This is where the devil's tail grows. The first half of the concert In the song with a South Asian style, there was a twisting movement in the dance. The other four demons were actually holding their own tails. Only the human’s movement was wrong. His hands were very stiff. That feeling of tail wagging up and down with the melody—his observation and expressiveness are much better than ordinary humans, otherwise he would not dare to apply for an actor and take great risks to earn this point. But even if the devil is formed Humans still have tails; even if humans try to pretend to be demons, they will still show their flaws without the tail."

Therefore, the devil has already discovered the doubts, but it is still acting without revealing its flaws, cooperating with the "game", observing and confirming its guess, and even sending signals to the other three companions without a trace—only humans He was kept in the dark, maybe even until the last moment, thinking that his disguise was perfect, unaware that he was the only person on stage who was kept in the dark.

At this time, the four demons on the stage had revealed their original appearance. They bowed again to the audience and then laughed and ran to the backstage holding the struggling humans desperately asking for help. To the response——people in Devil Town, the first step to learn to abandon is the virtues in human society; or in other words, if there is no strong dark desire lurking in the heart, how can they attract demons and receive invitations?

Even Ye Yingzhi, who only wants to save herself, has an inherently dark soul that attracts demons.

Perhaps the only truly innocent person on this island is Chi Yan who was brought to the island by Ye Yingzhi because he needed to continue his life.

Chi Yan stared blankly at the human being carried to the backstage, and felt uncomfortable. The feeling was indescribable. It was as uncomfortable and oppressive as when he saw the angel fountain in the central square and said "this is a real angel".This time the feeling was even stronger, because the other party, like him, was also a living human being, not a statue that didn't know the truth.

When the stage ended, the audience left one after another. When everyone left, the electronic watch on their wrist would flash a reminder of the point change.Ye Yingzhi and Chi Yan each received fifty points.The fifty points when buying the ticket were all deducted from Ye Yingzhi's watch, so adding fifty points to each other now means that Ye Yingzhi's points remain unchanged, and Chi Yan got fifty points.

The Devil's Theater always releases information about the performances to be prepared ten days in advance and recruits actors for humans and demons, and sells audience tickets on the day of the performance.After Ye Yingzhi pulled Chi Yan out, he began to watch the released performance information - after getting a general understanding of the theater's operation method, he wanted to act in a play, because only being an actor can get a lot of points at once, and the points are his What is urgently needed represents Ah Yan's life.

Therefore, Ye Yingzhi has only one criterion for choosing a performance, which is high salary and more points rewarded after success.Therefore, he will not consider performances that pay less than [-] points, and only look at the details of performances that pay more than [-] points.

When Chi Yan saw Ye Yingzhi started to read the performance information of recruiting actors, he guessed the other party's plan. He also knew that the other party was trying to earn points to renew his life. He didn't want Ye Yingzhi to work so hard to support him. Even if they didn't do anything, they just looked at the information about recruiting actors.He didn't dare to only pick high-paying ones like Ye Yingzhi, but carefully read the performance descriptions, trying to find ones within his ability, which were relatively safe and would not make mistakes.

But when Ye Yingzhi saw it, he pulled him to her side, smiled and nodded his nose: "Don't even think about it, I can't even hide your performance from you, and you will play it when there is a game project that suits you in the future."

Chi Yan knew that what his lover said was the truth, but he still defended himself unwillingly: "...I can't be seen through so easily."

"Really?" Ye Yingzhi casually said while continuing to browse through the information, "When we get back to the hotel, you and I will try acting first, and I'll see if you have improved. It's okay to play a mythological drama, and I will play Shang Zhou Wang, how about you playing Daji who tried to seduce me to trouble Chaoge?"

When he heard it, he felt uneasy, and Chi Yan was so angry that he ignored him.

At this time, Ye Yingzhi also found a performance with the highest salary, which was a stage play telling a story about hell.This stage play needs a total of 25 actors, of which [-] characters are recruited for demons, five characters are recruited for humans, the other four characters have already been recruited, and only one character is still vacant. The reward is [-] Five thousand points.

In order to ensure the gameplay, these actor recruitment information will only release the three information of how many actors are recruited for humans/demons, whether each role needs an actor or actress, and the corresponding salary. The identity of the character in the play and the role on the stage.The recruited actors will not know the identity of the role they are playing until they enter the single preparation room of the theater on the day of the performance and get the corresponding script.

This means that in this play, each person or demon only knows that there are twenty demons and five humans on the stage and their identities, but they do not know whether the identities of the other 24 actors are humans or demons.

So Ye Yingzhi didn't know what role he was going to play at this time, he only knew that this role would at least not appear as a woman.But it is conceivable that such a high reward must correspond to great risks and challenges.

In fact, neither he nor Chi Yan knew that there was a saying among the humans in Devil Town: one must not challenge a character whose salary exceeds [-], because it must be a very difficult challenge for humans, and no humans can do it. Do not reveal flaws.Points are certainly attractive, but if the risk is too great and there is no possibility of survival, then of course life is more valuable in comparison.After all, no one wants to go in to act in a play, but come out to get something.

What's more, the price of this character is [-] points, and the difficulty factor has soared.So the actor recruitment information has been released for eight days, and the other four human roles have been fully recruited, but no one is interested in this role.

There are five theaters in the Devil's Theater, and different performances are shown 24 hours a day. The performance of the stage play called "The Devil Comes" that Ye Yingzhi applied for is scheduled for seven o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow. One and a half hours, it is expected to end at 09:30, and the actors need to enter the corresponding single preparation room three to five hours in advance to prepare.

In order to further familiarize themselves with the venue and deal with various emergencies, Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi specially bought tickets for the theater where "The Devil Comes" was held during the daytime the next day, which was still the cheapest seat.

In the Devil's Theater, "actors" and "audience" follow different rules of the game, and the life and death of the two do not affect each other.If actors can also mislead demons to fight for survival through their own abilities such as adaptation, performance, imitation, and disguise, the life and death of the audience depends entirely on luck.

Every performance will draw 0~3 lucky spectators. In the first a cappella performance that Chi Yan and Ye Yingzhi watched, the audience was very lucky. Good luck doesn't come every time.During the intermission of this drama, two audience members were drawn as "lucky audiences". Soon after the draw, the devil staff came to take them out.

The two followed them away silently with numb expressions, without shouting, calling for help, or fighting, as if they had already expected this day to come, and being drawn this time was just a painting that finally marked the day when they were always worried about the coming of death. a period.

And no matter how many times he sees it, perhaps because of the effect of empathy, Chi Yan still feels uncomfortable in his heart.

On the day of the performance of "Advent of the Devil", Chi Yan bought the cheapest audience tickets early in the morning - he really wanted to buy the best and most expensive seats, after all, this was Ye Yingzhi's first performance on stage, but considering the last A good position also means that the probability of being drawn as the lucky audience is the highest. To be on the safe side, he still had to give up this plan regrettably.

It wasn't until three hours before the performance that Ye Yingzhi bowed his head and kissed Chi Yan's forehead, saying goodbye to him softly.Ye Yingzhi hoped that Chi Yan would go back to the hotel and come out when the performance is about to start. After all, only there is the safest place - the building with the green signboard is exempt from all devil games, and the old devil at the front desk of the hotel will not allow human villains in the hotel. Assault on your own territory.

Chi Yan would not do extravagant things in an environment where he knew there was danger. In fact, his plan was the same as Ye Yingzhi's. Even if the other party didn't tell him, he would choose to go back to the hotel and wait for the performance time.So he kissed Ye Yingzhi's lower lip and chin back, and after watching his lover walk into the theater, he started to walk towards the hotel.

According to the corresponding number, he entered his single-person preparation room, and Ye Yingzhi, who got the script, knew for the first time the identity of the character he was going to play—the most powerful demon in the play "Demon Comes". The upper demon of hell, one of the joint rulers of hell.

Such a big devil, even if it is played by an ordinary devil, it is a bit reluctant, and it is difficult to show the temperament and power of this character, let alone a human being.Almost no human being can not show their flaws, no wonder the reward for a scene is as high as [-] points.

Ye Yingzhi glanced at the script casually, put it aside, smiled, and began to look at other parts of the preparation room.

Now that it's here, give it a try.Ah Yan could be watching him from below.
