No Words [Book of Terror]

On stage, the second act ended and the curtain slowly fell.

In Joey's eyes, she only saw a black figure standing in front of Shui Linglan, and then left.The time spent in the middle is only about 0.1 seconds.

Joey didn't go to see Shui Linglan, he already knew that the other party had been killed by a ghost.

This also verified Joey's guess.

Tulips attract ghosts.

Earlier, Chen Ling was holding a tulip in his hand, but he died in the end.

At that time, Joey guessed whether the ghost murder was looking for tulips.Therefore, he gave the tulip in his hand to Shui Lily of the Valley. If Shui Lily of the Valley was killed by a ghost, it meant that his guess was correct.

If the lily of the valley is fine, it means that the ghosts didn't kill the tulips.At that time, just take the tulip back.

No matter what you do, it won't do him any harm.

For this mission, Zibuyu's mission description stipulated that the mission participants should get at least one tulip at the end of the performance.

However, this tulip has become an item that attracts ghosts.

Chen Ling and Shui Linglan also died because of this.

Knowing this, Shui Lily of the Valley decided not to take away Tulip for the time being.

However, although he already knew that it was the tulips that attracted the ghost, he didn't see clearly who the ghost was?The opponent's movements are too fast. For ordinary people, the ghost may have left before leaving any residue on the retina. It is because Joey has undergone strict training that he can see a trace of the ghost .

However, he still doesn't know who the ghost is, but he already has a guess in his mind.

Ghosts always kill at the end of each scene, so the identity of the ghost is likely to be an actor on the stage.

But who is that actor?Anything in Act I and Act II could be a ghost.

Only in this case, the ghost can only kill at the end of the first two acts. If the ghost is someone else, then it can kill at any time, not only at the end of each act.

Thinking of this, Joey stood up again and left his seat.

Joey went backstage, and then saw Ruth, who looked very mature in a blue coat with a tulip brooch pinned to it.

But Joey didn't take it too seriously. After all, judging from the current situation, whoever holds the tulip is calling Death.

And Ruth also hurried past Joey with some dismay.

Joey also had his purpose in coming backstage, so the two just passed each other.

Ruth lost a button on her coat before. She originally wanted to go to the rest room farther away to temporarily put down the coat and put on another coat. But on the way, she met an acquaintance who was in charge of the clothing. After a button of the coat fell off, he took out the needle and thread, and sewed the button back three times.

The coat problem was solved, and Ruth put it on again.

At the same time, Ruth also saw a bouquet of flowers held by the staff member. The most outstanding flower in this bouquet is the tulip, and the other flowers can be said to be the foil of tulips.

"This is……"

"Oh, these are flowers for the group leader at the end of the performance." The staff replied with a smile, "Dancing likes tulips the most."

Ruth glanced at the bouquet of flowers again, but there was a strong contrast in her heart. Are she and Dancing also like this bouquet of flowers, and she can only be the foil of each other forever?

Then Ruth left in confusion.

Ruth was smoking a cigarette by herself in a corridor.

Dancing, dancing, dancing!Everyone will always like her, she will always be so successful, so beautiful, so popular, but what about yourself?It can only be the foil of the other party forever, no one will notice themselves under the dazzling aura of Dancing.

Even her hard work over the years is always considered to be achieved by dancing.Everyone thinks that without Dancing and Queen, she would not be able to be so successful at all.

Who can understand her pain?

Everyone loves Dancing, but only her.Whether it's Jared who passed away unexpectedly for many years, or Evan now, every man likes dancing, and they never see themselves as a hardworking ugly duckling in their eyes.

Why?Why in this world, there is always someone who is smarter, more beautiful, more talented than you, more popular than you, more successful than you, no matter how hard you try, you can't catch up with him.why is that?Isn't she trying hard enough?How many nights did she work hard when others were sleeping, and she even suffered from stomach problems because of her busy work and always missed meals.

She works so hard, but she will never be as good as Dancing.

Never better, she's just an ugly duckling.No one will pay attention to her, no one will like her.

Every time she thought of these things, Ruth felt a surge of injustice and resentment.

If...if Dancing wasn't there...if she wasn't here, how good would it be?

Ruth's idea was not formed in a day or two. Many years ago, she was just a small assistant. At that time, she only hoped to succeed through her own efforts, but the more she found out later, So what if you try harder?No matter how hard she tries, there will still be a Dancing pressure on her head.Everyone will only pay attention to Dancing, but not to her.

Therefore, Ruth sometimes wishes that it would be good if Dancing died, and it would be good if Dancing died unexpectedly like Jared.If she wasn't here, then I wouldn't have to suffer so much anymore.

But Dancing did not encounter an accident because of the curse in Ruth's heart, and she still lived very well.

Sometimes, Ruth even wanted to give Dancing to her herself...but Ruth knew that doing so was against the law, so she didn't do it.

But if there was a way for her not to arouse the suspicion of the police, Ruth would definitely do it.

While Ruth was smoking, a hand suddenly fell on her shoulder.

Ruth was taken aback, and turned around, only to find that it was the young man from the Lin family whom she had seen before. Ruth quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's you."

Lin Ye smiled, "It's me, why are you so nervous?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Ruth smiled awkwardly, "What can you do for me?"

"That's right. I read information about Dancing on the Internet, and it said that Dancing is allergic to seafood. Is that true?" Lin Ye asked, with a very decent smile on his face.No one would have any accusations against Lin Ye's current performance.

But when Ruth heard Lin Ye's question, her face changed drastically, and the cigarette she held between her fingers fell to the ground, "Why are you asking this?"

Lin Ye looked down at the cigarettes that had fallen on the ground, looked at Ruth's nervous expression, and said leisurely, "You seem to be quite unwell, do you want me to take you to rest?"

"No, no need." Ruth waved her hand, then followed Lin Ye's words and covered her forehead, "I do feel a little uncomfortable, please go and rest first, you, you can just go and do your own thing, no need Leave me alone."

"Then how can it be?" Lin Ye held Ruth's arm, "I'll see you off."

Then, under Lin Ye's strong restraint, Ruth was taken to an empty room, and Lin Ye closed the door.

"You, what do you want to do?" Ruth stepped back slowly.

Lin Ye smiled lightly, "What are you so nervous about? What do you think I want to do? For an old lady like you?"

"You!" Ruth blushed angrily.

"If it's Dancing, maybe I'll have some idea to do something, but you can forget about it." Lin Ye deliberately looked at Ruth with disdain.

Ruth's eyes were red.

Yes, what Lin Ye said was right. Ruth is indeed not young anymore, she is not young anymore, but Dancing, Dancing, she is obviously the same age as herself.But for those men, no matter how old they are, Dancing is still their goddess, but she will never be liked by anyone.

"you shut up!"

"You seem very angry." Lin Ye pretended to be puzzled, "Did I say something that made you unhappy? Then I apologize to you, I'm sorry."

"Why, you all like her? No matter how hard I try, I can't compare to her? Why? Why?!" Ruth murmured.

"Are you talking about Dancing?" Lin Ye slowly approached Ruth. "Many media say that you and Dancing are friends who met a long time ago and have a very good relationship. Who would have thought that you hate her so much?"

"That's right, I do hate her, what's wrong with that? All the men I like like Dancing, why should I not hate her?" Ruth said angrily.

"So that's the case, no wonder," Lin Ye said slowly, "No wonder you want to kill her."

"You, what are you talking about?" Ruth panicked.

"Did I say something wrong?" Lin Ye said, "You clearly know that Dancing is allergic to seafood, but you still feed her seafood. Isn't your purpose of doing this just to kill her?"

Ruth took a few steps back in a panic, just bumped into a chair, and Ruth fell to the ground, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Am I not talking nonsense?" Seeing Ruth's performance, Lin Ye knew that he had guessed correctly. Ruth did give Dancing the food with seafood. "That bowl is the proof."

"No, it's impossible." Ruth shook her head, "I've already cleaned that bowl."

"Sure enough, did you do it?" Lin Yedao, "You wanted to kill Dancing because of jealousy, but what you didn't expect was that Dancing looked good, and there was nothing unusual about it. You must be very puzzled, right?"

Ruth finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and slowly stood up, "You're right, I did add seafood to Dancing's soup tonight, but Dancing has nothing to do, right? ? She has nothing to do, so no one will know what I did. Also, I didn't intend to kill Dancing, I just wanted to teach her a lesson."

Ruth really thought so at the time, she didn't want Dancing's life, but hoped to teach Dancing a lesson, and she would be happy to see Dancing uncomfortable, but it's not that Ruth didn't know that some people have serious allergies , Maybe, Dancing will die because of allergies.However, Ruth subconsciously blocked such thoughts. Perhaps, to her, Dancing's death is not bad at all.

Lin Ye suddenly found it funny when he heard Ruth's words, but from Ruth's words, he had already guessed who the ghost of this mission was.

It is Dancing.

In fact, she has eaten seafood that caused her allergies, but now on the stage, Dancing is still performing and jumping well.

In any case, Dancing does have seafood allergy symptoms. After eating seafood, Dancing will show some allergic symptoms, even if it is just red spots on the skin, fever, and vomiting, but it will never be nothing.

However, there is absolutely no problem with dancing on stage.There's only one explanation for this, and that's that Dancing is dead.

And now Dancing has actually become a ghost.

Lin Ye looked at Ruth, and there was obvious pity in his eyes. This kind of pity was easily noticed by Ruth. She had a bad feeling, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lin Ye let out a long sigh, "You stayed behind the whole time, do you know what happened in the auditorium?"

"What's the matter?" Ruth worried.

Lin Ye gave Ruth a meaningful look, "What do you think will happen outside?"

"Could it be..." Ruth's heart skipped a beat, "Dancing has her allergy attack?" Only at this time did Ruth feel scared.

After all, Ruth is an ordinary person, and she will feel scared when she does something bad. If it is Joey, for him, no matter what he does, he will not have such emotions.

In fact, Ruth acted impulsively towards Dancing.

Ruth is actually not young anymore. Most women of her age are already married, and their children can even go to school, but what about her?Up to now, Ruth has not found a good man.

Moreover, Ruth is not willing to casually find a man who is bad in all aspects, she is not willing to accommodate.The men who pursue Dancing are all so outstanding, why can she only find a man who is not good at anything?

For so many years, Ruth has only liked two men, one is Jared who died unexpectedly many years ago, and that was her favorite man when she was young.

Even now, Ruth always thinks about that man.

And now, Ruth likes Evan.Evan has the same brown hair as Jared, and the same charming brown eyes as Jared.

When she first saw Evan, Ruth thought she had seen Jared again.

Soon, Ruth fell in love with Evan while getting along with him.

But Ruth also knew that it was difficult for her and Evan to have any results.Evan is still so young, and I am already so old, I am not worthy of Evan, Evan deserves a younger and more beautiful woman.

However, what Ruth did not expect was that Evan fell in love with Dancing.

This made Ruth extremely jealous and resentful.

Dancing is as old as himself, and he is not young anymore.But Dancing is still so charming, there are always many men bowing down under her tutu.

Now, even Evan is in love with her.

This made Ruth unacceptable.

Why, why Dancing again?

In the past, Dancing was what Jared liked, but now Evan, who she likes, also likes Dancing.Why does every man she likes fall in love with Dancing?

Why does she have to fight against herself?

Ruth's hatred for Dancing has grown to infinity, and it is only one fuse away from a full-scale explosion.

And Ruth saw Evan courting Dancing the day before, Ruth was really angry in her heart, and she finally broke out.

There is a saying that is true, no longer perish in silence, but explode in silence.And Ruth belongs to the latter category.

Ruth secretly added a little seafood to Dancing's soup at night, but later, after Dancing actually drank that bowl of soup, Ruth felt a kind of fear besides the pleasure in her heart.

She regretted it.

Ruth was very afraid of what to do if something happened to Dancing, and she couldn't bear the responsibility at all.

There were thousands of spectators at the scene, and their ballet company had paid so much for the performance. If she really screwed up the performance, what should she do?

Among other things, the tickets of thousands of spectators will definitely be refunded. Who will bear the loss?Of course, I have to bear it by myself, but the tickets for this ballet performance are very expensive, especially the tickets for the front row are even more expensive. Although Ruth is considered a successful person now, compared with ordinary people, there is Money is famous, but if she is really required to bear the loss of the failure of this performance, then she can only go bankrupt.

Thinking of the consequences, Ruth almost fainted.

She really shouldn't have done this.

Fortunately, nothing seemed to happen after Dancing, which made Ruth quietly relieved.Then quickly wash the bowl that can be used as evidence.

Ruth felt that everything was all right.

But the hatred for Dancing in Ruth's heart did not disappear because of this. Although Ruth felt very regretful and ashamed for doing bad things, she still hated Dancing.

Therefore, when Ruth saw the bouquet of flowers, a sense of injustice surged in Ruth's heart.

She feels injustice for her own fate. Could it be that her life will always be suppressed by Dancing like that bouquet of flowers, and will she always be the foil of Dancing?

Ruth would not.She really doesn't want to.

But later, Lin Ye suddenly exposed her dark thoughts in front of her.

Ruth regretted it all the more.

"Tell me, what happened to Dancing?" Ruth asked.

Lin Ye opened the door of the room and finally said, "She's dead." Then he locked the door from the outside.

Ruth slammed on the door desperately from the inside, "What did you say? You said Dancing died? Impossible! Impossible! She is just allergic, how could she die? Open the door! Open the door quickly! Tell me clear!"

But at this time, Lin Ye had already gone far.

After Ruth found that the door could not be opened, she gave up knocking on the door again.

She sat on the ground dejectedly, how could Dancing die?If Dancing died, wouldn't she just...kill someone?

Committed homicide?

no, I can not. Dancing will not die.

She didn't kill, she didn't kill.

Ruth recalled carefully that after she cleaned the bowl, she put it away.But as long as the police search carefully, they will definitely be able to find the bowl.

And although she has cleaned the bowl many times, what if, what if the police still find the ingredients of seafood in the bowl?

Dancing is dead, she committed such a crime, is she going to spend the rest of her life in prison?No, she doesn't want to.

Ruth bit her lower lip.

Why did Dancing refuse to let her go after she died?When she was alive, she kept pressing herself down, and when she was dead, she would not let herself go.

No, wait a minute, is Dancing really dead?

Only the young man said that Dancing was dead, but is what he said really believable?

Although I was backstage and didn't know what happened on the stage in front of me, the backstage was always very calm and there was no chaos. If something really happened to Dancing, the backstage couldn't be like this.

Moreover, if something happens to Dancing, they will definitely notify themselves and call themselves.

Ruth thought so, and touched the phone with her hand, only to find that the phone was not on her body.

Looking back carefully, Ruth put the phone aside because the button of the jacket fell off.Later, there was no time to use the mobile phone, so the mobile phone is not with Ruth now.

In fact, even the phone is useless on Ruth.Because it is impossible to use mobile phones to contact others in the auditorium.

After knowing that the phone was not there, Ruth sat on the ground in disappointment, hugging her knees and bowing her head.

She was very disturbed, but she tried her best to convince herself that Dancing was fine.Only in this way can Ruth be all right.

Now Ruth can only pray that Dancing, which she hates and is jealous of, will be fine, and nothing will happen.
