The Haunted

The strange dressing room will dress up the actors to match the appearance of the role they play. Generally speaking, the appearance of this role will be far from the reality of the actor, so it will not be recognized by people.

For example, Leng Xin looked like a petite and lovely girl, but she was disguised as an arrogant and vicious devil lady in the dressing room. Her appearance was not even half similar to her; Old George was played by a 1.9-meter-tall round face The young devil was dressed up as a stubborn and arrogant middle-aged devil with a square face and a height of only 1.7 meters who was hundreds of years old.

But Ye Yingzhi's appearance didn't change much.He was originally a dignified and graceful prince, when he was not smiling he was indifferent and unapproachable, sometimes when he smiled casually, he looked gentle and indifferent, especially when facing Chi Yan, his eyebrows and eyes were softened, with a gentle and gentle look It looks very deceptive.In this performance, the plastic hands of the dressing table only briefly sketched and smeared some on his face, erasing his masked appearance, and did not make any more modifications. You can still see his true appearance, but he and Chi Yan are all newcomers who have just arrived, and no one knows them, so it is not a big problem.

At this time, the actor of Uris is sitting by the edge of the spring of props, and he is powerless in his heart to cast aside the unreliable plot of "Demon Comes" - how slow-witted and unresponsive Uris in the story must be, Lacking common sense, Cai Cai never discovered the identity of the Lord of Hell, but instead regarded the other party as a poor ordinary demon with fading power.

How could the superior demons, especially the great demon, one of the rulers of hell, have the same aura as ordinary demons? Even if Adeyas hides his own demonic characteristics-horns and bone wings, his temperament and coercion are not comparable to ordinary demons. comparable.

For example, the actor of Adeyas next to him, even though he has restrained all his coercion according to the requirements of the game rules, even if he now disguises himself as a human being according to the script requirements, he has not revealed his bone wings and double horns, I will not mistakenly believe that the other party must be a high-ranking demon from hell, maybe also from a traditional and powerful demon noble family, because the high-ranking demon temperament on the other party is too obvious.

However, this big man may not often come to such a cheap playground like Devil Town, and he is not very familiar with some code words commonly used among devil actors. It may even be his first time in Devil Town and Devil Theater.

"Uris" felt that his guess was very reasonable. The noble and powerful high-ranking demons can find all kinds of fun in hell, and they don't want to work hard for a year like them and save some food and money. Money, just to come to Devil Town to revel and relax, and eat a few people-or the worst people.Although people in Devil Town attract demons because of their dark and strong desires, their souls are often dirty and not tasty.Devils like to eat people with clean and clear souls. Unfortunately, according to the law of hell, devils are not allowed to sneak into the human world, let alone capture and devour human beings, otherwise they will be thrown into the abyss of hell.

But like the high-level demons, they must be able to enjoy several human beings with pure and delicious souls every day! ——"Uris" has never really come into contact with the upper demons in hell, so these are just his baseless conjectures.

Just like Leng Xin and Ryadov confirming each other's human identities and secretly using stage performances to send messages to each other to discuss strategies, demons also have their own code words.But the "code word" between humans and demons is not fixed, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered by the other side and show flaws, and it will also be easy to be learned by the other side to imitate and violate the rules of the game.These "code words" must be understood in combination with the performance environment at the time and the expression and actions of the person delivering the message. That is to say, the identity of each other must be confirmed first, and then it is possible to discover and understand these messages and hints by observing each other carefully.

Stupid demons will be squeezed out by their peers; dull humans can hardly live long in the demon town.

Uris has already been able to confirm the identity of the other party, so he has fully expressed his recognition of the other party in physical performance-this is similar to the performance of Uris’ pity for the sudden appearance of the devil in the script. It is consistent, so it is not a violation of the rules of the game, but if the other party is an experienced player, he will definitely understand what he means.

However, "Adeyas" did not give a response for a long time. He just perfectly restored the indifference, silence, unapproachable but tolerant appearance of Adeyas in the script-although Uris felt that it was not tolerance, but just The aloof hell lord doesn't care about these little things.

So when the other party didn't respond, Yuris could only understand that it was because the high-ranking demon lord didn't often come to the low-end demon town to play. He was not familiar with the situation here and the usual gameplay flow, but he didn't doubt his own judgment and the other party's. identity.

The actor who played Adeyas must be a devil, and he must be a devil, so according to common sense, there will be at least one human being between Christine and Old George.But those two guys played really well, and it was hard to tell which one was human for a while, Juris thought distressedly.Contrary to humans, demons have to pay Hell Coins as an entry fee to participate in the game, and they can enjoy a [-]% discount after applying for a membership card in Demon Town. For demons, Demon Town is like their theme park. It is a place for pure play, pure leisure and pure consumption.So the demons are of course not happy to spend money but not eat people.

The situation in this scene is a bit confusing. The human side has never been able to confirm who their "trump card" is, and the demon side has not been able to find out the human being in the main role.Because Christine, Old George, Uris, and Ed Yass all acted too much like demons, the demons even began to suspect that all the humans in this scene were mixed in the secondary characters, and began to pay more attention to those who did not Actors in many roles.

Leng Xin and Ryadov are both very experienced and accurate in their judgment. Under their leadership and promotion, the four human beings mixed in the secondary roles have all confirmed each other's identities: they are Christine's stepmother, City hall officials, Christine's human friends, and the palace messenger who conveyed the news of Juris' visit to the palace.In the case that the ace played well and never took the initiative to get in touch with them, they could only confirm that Ryadov, who had only two unimportant scenes and superb acting skills, would take on the role of the hermit, and determine the role of the hermit. Strategy - Regardless of whether Ace is finally discovered or not, they must ensure that Ryadov is not identified by the demon.

However, situations like today are not uncommon. Some very confident and powerful human actors are worried about being dragged down by other humans on the scene, and are unwilling to cooperate with other humans. They just try their best to perform their roles well without revealing their flaws. Demons circle around.It is cold to guess that the ace they met today is such a cosplayer.

Soon came the last scene. Under the leadership of the palace envoy, Julius and Christine's father and daughter came to the palace one after another. It is also one of the reasons why the role of Aedias is worth [-] points, because in the last scene, all the players in the audience except Aedias are demons, and there is no one on the field. Humans can provide him with cover and cooperation.

While everyone was waiting, Ed Yas appeared.At this time, with the help of Qi Qi's dressing room, he has changed into a full set of demon monarch costume.

Leng Xin and Ryadov murmured in their hearts at the same time: There is no doubt, this must be a demon.

So their trump card should be between the old George and Uris.

Apart from Uris, who had concluded that Edeas was a demon early on because of his contact with the play, Christine and Old George also turned their suspicious eyes on the other two of them at this time.They had the same thought in their hearts: Adeyas must be a demon, even a high-level demon they can't afford to mess with, so there is a high possibility that there is a human mixed in Uris/Christine/Old George.

Accompanied by court servants, the ruler of hell appeared on the stage in a solemn black court dress.

There are two powerful black magic horns on his head, and there are strange and gorgeous black bone wings between the two ribs on his back. It is not difficult to imagine that when the two bone wings are opened, they will definitely cover the sky and block the sun , making the sun and the moon dark.

The king of hell sits on the throne indifferently, with his bone wings slightly spread, quietly looking down at the demon under his seat. He has a natural and inviolable kingly demeanor, like a real hell king who rules the world. The monarch is noble, lofty, inaccessible, and evil.

In an instant, the demons on the field almost had the urge to kneel down.They almost thought that what they saw was not Adyas in "Advent of the Devil", but their real ruler of hell, His Majesty the Lord of Hell, Aimer.

"Demon Comes" is a relatively classic stage play in hell, but the designer who moved this play to the Devil Theater in Devil Town and assigned the role of Ed Yas to the human side obviously has bad taste— ——Isolated and helpless human beings sit on the throne, facing the crowd of demons, uneasy, but they have to act calmly; and the demons may have discovered that the person on the throne is a human being, on the surface Acting respectfully, while laughing in their hearts, passing news to each other, and thinking about how to share the superior human beings.

But this scene is destined not to happen in this field.

His Majesty Adeyas sat on the throne, boredly announcing the marriage to Uris and Christine. Uris and the other three knelt down tremblingly, not even daring to breathe, seeing the real ruler of hell The fear and uneasiness even overwhelmed Juris and Christine's joy when they heard the news that they could be together smoothly.

But at that moment, Uris felt that if the story of "The Devil Comes" really had a prototype, the real gardener Uris' reaction should be like this.

According to the records of the history of hell, the great demon Emer, conceived from the abyss of hell, woke up at the bottom of the abyss, spread his huge black bone wings and crossed the abyss to hell.At that time, Hell was in chaos. Lawrence, the demon duke in the north, and Tesul, the great lord in the south, both wanted to compete for the dominion of Hell.But Emer, who came to Hell, quickly established his own huge power in the eastern part of Hell with his own strength. His rapid rise attracted the attention of Duke Lawrence and Lord Tesur, and they decided to temporarily join forces to eliminate Emer.

But during the confrontation, Lawrence was gradually overwhelmed by Aimer's strength and ability, and Tesur also realized that Aimer was an extremely terrifying opponent, and they also found that although Aimer was powerful, he did not annex everything ambition and desire for power.So in the end, led and proposed by Lawrence, the three giants of hell reached a consensus to jointly rule hell. non-interference.Hell also ushered in a prosperous period of stable development.

The coercion and momentum of such a high-ranking demon who has risen rapidly and dominated the eastern part of Hell, making the two major demon leaders avoid his edge, is definitely not something ordinary demons can bear.The Adeyas player on the stage may be just a rare high-level demon in Devil Town who can give him such a lot of pressure. It is conceivable that if he really faces the real hell lord Aimer, he will definitely I couldn't even stand up, my mind went blank, and I didn't have any thoughts.

Uris, Christine, and Old George thanked His Majesty Ed Yass for his will, and prepared to leave to prepare for the wedding.At this moment, Mr. Clown, who also put on an exaggerated hell court costume, stepped onto the stage respectfully, and made a court salute to the monarch on the throne: "Your Majesty, please give me a few minutes, my The Clown Club has prepared a few fresh lucky humans for Mr. Uris and Miss Christine as wedding gifts for the two. Please allow me to select and bring them up now."

Because the show had no intermission, he improvised a scene for a lucky draw.

Adeyas just looked down at him without saying a word, and after a while, he turned his head slightly to look at the actor who played the role of the palace chief.

Facing that gaze, the clown actually felt his body stiffen.

But he knew the inside story.As one of the Devil Town staff who guided the newcomers to the island, he could recognize that Adeyas on the throne was actually the human being who impressed him that day, he just couldn't show it on stage.But he clearly knew that the other party was a human being, but he still couldn't help but want to show his surrender. Mr. Clown lowered his head, suppressing a little uneasiness in his heart. He always felt that he seemed to have overlooked something.

The palace manager was also very involved at this time, and quickly realized His Majesty's intentions, stepped forward and said to the clown, "Your Majesty has agreed to your request."

Only then did the clown stand up and start the routine drawing of lucky audiences.It's just that this lottery draw is very quiet, there is no background music, and the audience is silently waiting for the result.

Mr. Clown held the white card with the results of the lottery that appeared out of nowhere, as if he was holding a gift list, and he said in a solemn tone: "The wedding gift we are going to give to Uris and Christine this time is two lucky people. Presents, they are number 16 and number 470, congratulations to them."

A sudden announcement.

Chi Yan, who had been concentrating on watching the performance, looked at the ticket with the seat number and serial number written in his hand, and froze instantly.

No. 16 was in the third row on the first floor, and was quickly taken to the backstage with a pale face by a demon staff member.Another demon appeared on the second floor and forced the unfortunate young human being drawn to stand up.

At the same time, the demon on the throne slowly stood up from the throne, raised his hand, his eyes were dark.

"Wait a minute." He said in a deep voice, pointing to the human being drawn on the second floor, staring at the fresh flesh and blood body, squinting his eyes intoxicated, dark flames burning faintly in the black eyes, he used He whispered in a firm and undeniable tone, "...I want him."

Following his voice and movements, Uris and Christine also looked at the human being on the second floor at the same time—a clean soul, fresh flesh, and a look that makes people move their index fingers. No wonder it even caused such a panic. For the first time, the interest of a high-ranking demon moved him to the point of attacking someone important.

The lucky audience was supposed to be rewarded to the demon actors who participated in the performance on the spot. The demon staff nodded, obediently obeyed the order, and directly brought human No. 470 onto the stage and dedicated it to the king here.

Chi Yan hadn't recovered from the shock and fear of being suddenly drawn, his face was a little pale, and the fear on his face didn't need to be overly disguised.He doesn't know what Ye Yingzhi is going to do, but he understands that the two of them are in a very dangerous situation now, and if they are not careful, they will lose everything.

So he pretended not to recognize the "devil" in front of him, his body trembling slightly, and he looked at him in horror, his black eyes were even filled with a faint glint of water.

Ye Yingzhi squinted his eyes and looked at him, slowly showing his first smile in the audience tonight, he stretched out his right hand to caress Chi Yan's cheek, leaned slightly close to him, and said with a low laugh : "It's so pitiful, you're so scared, poor little boy, I can't bear to eat you."

Saying this, his voice was filled with unconcealable joy and unfeigned desire, which was the joy of discovering an extremely exciting and precious prey.All the demons present would not suspect that this lord demon couldn't restrain himself from wanting to eat this human being.

Chi Yan's body trembled even more, but he shrank back towards the demon's embrace. He kept his head up, beseechingly looking softly at the demon in front of him, as if he was begging the other party to be merciful and let him go. Own.

Christine couldn't help but licked her lips.This human being is so good at tempting demons that even demons might not be able to resist falling for him again.It's a pity, looking at it like this, she shouldn't have a share of this big meal.

Sure enough, the well-informed master demon couldn't help but hugged the human being into his arms, bit the back of the human's neck and earlobe, held it in his mouth for a long time, and then reluctantly spat it out.

Under the illumination of the stage lights, the eye sockets of the human beings suddenly became red and wet. With just this level, they were already bullied to the point of crying.

The devil's eyes became deeper and deeper, and suddenly he stretched out his hand and directly hugged the human being in his arms and pressed it to his chest. He couldn't help but spread his huge bone wings in an instant, and looked back at the other actors on the stage, showing a faint smile. With a smile, he said softly: "You guys continue to play, I will take my little baby back to enjoy it first... is that okay?"

No one disagrees.No one dared to object.

Old George has already figured it out in his mind, there is one lucky audience, and there are five humans on the stage. As long as they find out those five humans, their nineteen demons can divide six humans equally, which is pretty good.Anyway, probably no one would dare to interfere with this high-ranking demon lord.It is also fair and reasonable to directly give the best share to the Lord Demon, even if the Lord Demon wants to monopolize all the spoils, they dare not object, after all, hell is such a place where the weak prey on the strong - demons are divided into ranks, There is a huge difference in power, ordinary demons need to win the game to eat people, but high-ranking demons don't even need a reason to kill ordinary demons, and they are rarely punished for it.

After all lucky audiences are drawn, the audience game in the theater is over; while the stage is actually a game among actors, as long as other game participants do not object, of course one of the participants can leave early.

Satisfied, His Majesty Adeyas embraced the human being in his arms, gathered the bone wings behind his back, and left the field gracefully and unhurriedly.

Yuris looked at his back enviously—it's good to be a powerful demon, he can monopolize the best, and no one dares to object.It is conceivable that after winning such an alluring human being, this lord will definitely live a full, satisfying and enjoyable night.

No one knew that the moment their Majesty Adeyas stepped out of the theater, he took off all his demonic attire and returned to his human form.At the same time, a line of numbers flashed on the electronic watch on his left wrist: "+15000".

The demons on the stage of "Advent of the Devil" probably couldn't imagine at this time that they would not be able to find a fifth real human being tonight.They will be doomed to lose this game.

*****

Standing at the door of the Devil's Theater, Ye Yingzhi put Chi Yan on the ground, leaned over against the night wind and kissed his wet and reddish eye sockets, lowered his head and smiled: "Little idiot, did you really cry from your husband's fright?"

He lowered his voice, put it close to Chi Yan's ear and said, "What? Are you really afraid that I will eat you?"
