Yokohama Survival Guide

==============================

Afterwards, old Charlie took you to experience the fun of sea fishing—unfortunately, neither you nor Zhongya could get a peak experience from waiting for uncertain feedback, so you quickly moved to nearby islands, unique The natural scenery soothes your tired soul; and the fresh fish caught by old Charlie comforts your stomach even better-as he said, he is very good at fishing and sailing!Thanks to him, you enjoyed a wonderful half of the day.

When the sun was setting, you and Zhong Ye walked a little bit to the ancient theater of Greco accompanied by the cool sea breeze.

As soon as you enter, your eyes widen in surprise. This place is completely different from the last time!Compared with ordinary ruins, it looks closer to the backstage of those professional theaters: in the center, a metal scaffolding builds a brand-new stage frame, and several giant exhibition boards are suspended from the metal connectors, on which are delicately painted Different lifelike scenes; Dozens of boys and girls dressed in costumes, holding the script and are nervously playing, during which some people sighed in frustration; in the corner of the stage, a huge grand piano is hidden behind the white gauze, and there are several Zhang's seat should be reserved for other performers; and in the fan-shaped auditorium, there are also many interested people, the most conspicuous ones are the group of white-haired old men sitting in the front row in the center—you After a quick glance, it is exactly the visiting group you have seen before, but the strange thing is that neither Mr. Zane nor the two young women appeared in the crowd.

Zhong also glanced around, turned his head to you and whispered:

"Didn't you say it was an unofficial performance? Doesn't it look decent?"

"I didn't expect Hannah and the others to be so prepared, I feel more looking forward to it!" You also responded in a low voice, and then tugged on Zhongya's sleeve, "Let's go, I think they are about to start, the first row There's still room on the right, let's go there!"

"it is good."

After the conversation, you quickly take your seats. 【Note [-]】

After a while, the performers pushed to the back of the stage, only a young man with freckles hurried to the center and held up a huge black sign.

The repertoire of this performance is written on it in beautiful cursive characters——

"The King in Yellow"

The audience present fell silent, and all eyes turned to the direction of the stage.

Immediately afterwards, the young man bowed and retreated.After two or three seconds of silence, a heavy bass sounded suddenly. Accompanied by the heavy music, a tall figure in a black robe swayed and walked to the center of the stage step by step.

When he stopped, the spotlights that were turned on all around turned off simultaneously.In the scarlet sunset, this guy's shadow stretched long in front of him, and his raised hands seemed to have turned into some kind of dead branches or vines, spreading from the stage to the auditorium little by little.

"This is the final chapter, this is the final chapter."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the man's deep and melodious voice exploded to the maximum loudness,

Slamming hard on the eardrums and atriums of you viewers—

"I am the door that connects absolute reality with the truth you desire, I am the key that connects fantasy with reality;

In the voice of the call, cross the bridge to come to you, in the lie of a few steps away, I will lead you there;

Just hold my hand,

For I am the shadow of reality, for I am the last king,

After my last generation——

Great king in yellow and queen in red;

Behind the shackles of the mask,

This is the final chapter,

This is the final chapter. "

Every time there is a pause, his singing will raise a beat, and at the last finale, it is already screaming; the piano accompaniment also soars all the way to the highest level, and at the same time it stops abruptly.

After the shocking opening, the black shadow quickly retreated, and the panels on both sides closed silently to the middle, representing the transition of the scene in the play.

You often let out a sigh of relief, staring intently at Hannah in a scarlet dress, and approaching the high window in the background panel step by step from the stage on the right.With her head tilted to one side, the silver-haired girl shook her hands facing the void, and when she opened her mouth, she spoke in an ethereal and melancholy voice——

"That is far away Carcosa,"

A strange girl in a white dress stepped forward with her skirt in her hand, and she seamlessly joined her flexible and lovely singing voice——

"My queen, which dress should I choose?"

What was falsely connected was still the queen's monologue at a loss:

"That's Carcosa, which is very close at hand,"

The princess in the white dress turned around, she frowned in distress, and stretched out her left and right hands one by one——

"The blue one is nice, but Tossa says the green is better. I can't make up my mind..."

It is clear that the two are singing duet, but the audience can see clearly that the two in the story are just a one-man show.The queen in the red dress sings obsessively, and the princess in the white dress is sweet and distressed... After several repetitions, everyone gradually knows that there will be a grand ball tonight to commemorate the passing king.

The first act of the story is a simple foreshadowing. The most brilliant is the duet between Queen Calcida and the mysterious shadow after the princess complained and rushed out:

Sombra: "Sing, Queen, sing for me,"

Calcida:

"Along the shore, cut through the clouds

The twin suns sink into the lake

The long shadow gradually spreads

right there in Carcosa

The Wonderful Night of Black Star Rises

The Wonderful Moon that Runs in the Night

But even more amazing is that

Gradually Returning Carcosa"

Shadows:

"The song of the Hyades no one hears

The king's rags blow in the wind

The singing voice faded away silently

dim carcosa

my soul sings

My song flows like tears

where is the dryness and silence

The Return of Carcosa"

Sombra/Kalsida [look at each other, duet]:

There, in Carcosa, so close at hand!

It was a very infectious duet, far beyond the tacit understanding of others, and the soprano and bass were integrated.

When the singing of the two stopped suddenly at the commanding height, they also quickly left the stage, and the spotlights were turned off again.

There was silence for five seconds, and in the darkness, the audience immediately burst into applause!

Zhong also seemed to be more involved. He sat up straight and applauded earnestly.

You were equally excited, and you slapped your palms so hot that you couldn't help but mutter to Zhong——

"It's amazing! The stage effect is amazing! Hannah performed better than that day... Roy played that black shadow? I've seen him before, and that kid didn't sing so well before!"

"Indeed, it's very contagious, and I'm starting to wonder about the story behind it!"

Zhong Ye nodded, yes, before you can say more, the lights on the stage are turned on again, you both shut up tacitly, and concentrate on the plot of the play.

In the next scene, the Queen's eldest son Wachter and second son Uhert will appear on the stage. In the background of the snowstorm, they are arguing fiercely: From the dialogue lines, you gradually understand the cause and effect of the story—— The queen Calcida, who seems to be considered mad by excessive grief, claims to see the ghost city across the lake of Harry, the non-existent Carcosa; the queen's children plot to overthrow her rule, kill The king usurped the throne; the queen's people were dissatisfied with the queen's rule due to the defeat and the plague, and planned to set off a revolution when the black star hung high... At this moment, the queen suddenly announced that a masquerade ball would be held to commemorate the dead king .

"...Ucht is actually Roy? It's too unexpected..."

You opened your eyes wide in surprise and couldn't help murmuring,

"Is this actually a story involving revenge and political struggle? Does Calcida have her own plan? Is the shadow her guardian spirit?"

"It's probably a magical element. Others can't see the shadow here." Nakaya stared at the stage and whispered his deduction, "Look, every time he appears, Calcida will turn his head to look at him accurately, Sing a duet with him!" After finishing speaking, the orange-haired young man looked admiringly, and praised, "The actors cooperated so well! It's really wonderful, you see, Calsida didn't even need to be reminded to realize that the black shadow appeared!"

"That's right... I wouldn't have realized it if you didn't tell me..."

You also nodded, not bad looking at the lonely and self-admired Calcida on the stage. As expected, the moment the black shadow appeared on the stage, the girl turned her head tacitly, and the black shadow also spoke like a prophet—there was no need between the two of them. By looking at each other, you can perfectly connect every duet and duet.

Before I knew it, the surroundings had darkened.

Only the spotlights on the stage shone brightly, and the dim auditorium was dead silent.

It seems that everyone, like you, is fully committed to this wonderful show.

Accompanied by the weird background sound, the scene changed again——

This time, what you see is the resplendent throne.In front of the hall, Camilla in a white dress is half leaning against Ucht. This overly intimate posture undoubtedly reminds the viewers that the entangled relationship between the brother and sister is as it should be. In the center of the stage, the two embrace each other After the kiss, a new duet is sung:

Camilla in the white skirt had a lazy voice, and the tone was drawn out: The time is almost ripe, my brother.

Ucht circled around her, with a playful tone: You know, sometimes your ambition scares me.

They were conspirators!After murdering the queen, the vicious pair of siblings also intend to kill the elder brother who stands in their way!

You looked at the glamorous Camilla on the stage, and suddenly recalled Roy's suggestive words that night, and couldn't help but smile:

Combining the words of old Charlie, it is not difficult to guess the style problems of Hannah's mother; it is estimated that Roy inferred from this that he would claim that Hannah, who is shy and introverted, is more suitable for the role of Camilla, right?

This kind of little easter egg that only you know, somewhat distracts your attention and makes you a little distracted from the wonderful performance.

On the stage, the duet between Camilla and Ucht continued——

Camilla: The country shall be between you and me,

Ukhet: King and Queen, come to rule,

Camilla: Come and take control, as is traditional,

……

First there was a low-pitched plot, followed by an excited chant.

The performers on the stage were fully devoted, with every frown and smile, singing and singing, they happily portrayed the images of the crazy brothers and sisters to the fullest!

If it was a second ago, you probably would have applauded it wholeheartedly, right?

But it was just a moment of distraction that made you see the changes around you——

Quietly, a faint mist permeated the venue without knowing when; it should not appear at this time, only the morning is the most natural time for dew and mist to appear; but, this mist is Silently spread throughout the Greco ancient theater!

It is within reach, but it is far away in the sky; it does not destroy the view of the theater, but it prevents you from seeing the thousands of lights in the town behind the stage; no one in the audience noticed this weird situation, even He is the most cautious Nakahara Chuya, and he is just gazing at the brightly lit stage with all his heart, and he won't let his eyes go wrong!In those cobalt blue eyes, an unprecedented brilliance shone even more!

At the same time, this play has come to the end, the climax part——

On the stage, Ucht and Camila held hands, facing you together, and often recited the first perfect duet, which is a perfect match comparable to Carla and Sombra! ! !

Ukhet: The King in Yellow...

Camilla: After the red dress,

Uhert: Warlocks and whores!

Camilla: It should be, it should be, it should be!

The black shadow came out of them silently. He stared at the men and women who raised their hands in a frozen frame, and laughed in a low, nervous way——

Shadow of Truth: This is the Final Chapter!

When his eyes fell on the auditorium, everyone seemed to be hypnotized:

on stage, off stage;

in front of you, behind you,

Everyone, even Chuya beside you, even you who is terrified,

They actually sang the same sentence loudly with one voice——

"There, in Carcosa, which is close at hand!"

The author has something to say:

I'm sorry I'm late, because it took too much time to describe the chant of this chapter with reference to the commemorative version of Dracula and the Phantom of the Opera drama... Don't worry, I'll go to the bathroom and continue to the next chapter 233333, comrade How about this style?Hehehe, I did my best, come and encourage me, does it smell like that?

Note 1: The story of the whole play is not my original creation. It comes from Chapter [-] of the King of Yellow Clothes, which has been widely circulated on the Internet.There is a terrible saying about the king in yellow—that is, the content of the same script is different for everyone

Question [-] of this chapter: Have you discovered this?I hinted at it earlier

Smile, keep typing
