Chapter 250 04.0249: ‘Dancer and Assassin’
Anna Princess, an actress as beautiful as a red rose, came on stage.
From her clothes, it seemed that she was playing the heroine of noble birth. Her smile and every move on the stage were vivid and exciting. There was no sense of stagnation between the transitions. It can be seen that she was very accomplished in performance.
Louise watched intently. She was used to suffering and her heart was very tough.
Even if it was a tragedy, she would not shed tears, but if the content was very good, she would be motionless and watch intently like now.
Horatio was distracted and looked at the tall actress herself.
She wore a golden wig, which concealed her original hair color. Her facial features were upright and heroic, and full of feminine and soft tension, which made the audience unable to move their eyes away from her.
[Is she... a member of the Harlequin Troupe?] Horatio has been thinking about this question.
As a Hammer who traveled through time, he heard that there is such a mysterious faction among the Eldar.
They serve the Eldar's God of Laughter, Xigochi.
He is often jokingly called the God of Loudspeakers or the Neurotic Cosmic Clown by the Hammer community. He is known as the Four Great Planners of the Galaxy together with the Emperor, the Deceiver, and Tzeentch.
But in general, He is a positive god who will help the Eldar fight against Slaanesh and is the patron saint of the Harlequin Troupe.
The Harlequin Troupe is a kind of Eldar association. Because it always appears in colorful and weird costumes, the Empire contemptuously calls it "Flower Bean Sprouts".
There are all kinds of fancy actors in the troupe, and everyone usually dresses up as colorful masked actors.
However, this cannot doubt their combat effectiveness. These Eldars have superb performance skills and are all powerful warriors who have experienced thousands of years.
They are different from the mysterious and cold Ark Eldar and the cruel and hateful Dark Eldar.
The Harlequin Troupe occasionally goes to planets with other intelligent life forms to perform on tour, using performances to spread the lesson of the birth of Slaanesh by the Eldar to these intelligent races.
Therefore, although it is rare to see the disguised Harlequin Troupe in the Empire, considering the population size, the Empire is indeed the main touring target of the Harlequin Troupe outside their own race.
They do not reject cooperation with humans, but everything is based on the will of the God of Laughter, Xigochi.
Well, everything is just the task of the God of Laughter.
Horatio looked at the actress, and suddenly, she turned her eyes during the performance, and their eyes met from a distance.
At this time, the scene was performing the play in which the male protagonist killed the Slaanesh priest but was corrupted.
Click!
The lights suddenly went out, the curtain slowly rose, and the stage entered the next scene.
[She just... looked at me? ] Horatio was not sure, the distance was too far, or maybe he was overthinking.
But that look was familiar, reminding him of the beautiful, sexy red-haired woman who appeared at the corner when he and Farida escaped from the Lower Nest Monastery.
The first half of the play was a perfect replica of his experience. Regardless of whether it was a clown troupe, this performance was undoubtedly a reminder for him.
[Wait for her to finish the performance, and ask to see her behind the scenes on the grounds that she was a fan? ]
This idea quickly came to his mind.
"Louise, I think this script is a bit too coincidental. I want to meet this actress and the script writer after the performance." After making up his mind, he was afraid that Louise would misunderstand him later, so he whispered to her in advance.
"Okay, do you need me to accompany you?" Louise was stunned when she heard this, turned her head and looked at him and asked.
Considering that the Eldar clowns would only reveal information to specific people, they would not tell anyone when there were outsiders around, or would only give some seemingly irrelevant and specious metaphors.
"Wait for me at the exit downstairs. I should be back soon."
"Okay, I got it."
The performance finally ended with thunderous applause. Many audience members who were still immersed in the plot burst into tears. When the crystal lamp above their heads lit up again, many people present had already cried red eyes.
Horatio looked at Louise. Her eyes were more moist than before, but there was still no sign of crying.
However, judging from her long silent reaction, she seemed to be savoring the plot and calming down.
"Then I'll go down and wait for you at the exit."
"Well, sorry."
Horatio reminded her slightly and walked along the circular staircase on the second floor to the stairs behind the scenes.
Bang!
Suddenly, the lights in the entire theater went out again.
The waiters were also at a loss. No one notified them that there was still this link. They left one after another. The crowd walking in the aisle gradually made dissatisfied noises in the dark.
"What's going on?" The lobby manager hurriedly asked the backstage operator.
"The power is off, manager. It seems that the backup battery is damaged, causing the main line to short-circuit."
The operator looked at the rows of error messages displayed in high Gothic on the CRT screen and replied.
"Hurry up and find candles in the warehouse, let all waiters turn on flashlights to illuminate the guests and guide the way, evacuate the audience as soon as possible, and don't let the VIP fall. Let the electrician come to repair it immediately, there is another scene in two hours! After the performance today, all the technical maintenance and maintenance will be checked. Such a major accident that affects the reputation of the theater has occurred!"
"Okay, sir."
"I'm very sorry, guests. Due to a power failure, the lighting is not available at this time. The theater is under emergency repair. Please keep order under the flashlight held by the waiter and follow the guidance to the exit. Thank you for your cooperation." The waiter broadcasted to the entire theater over and over again through the portable loudspeaker on the front desk.
The waiters took out soft light flashlights from their pockets to illuminate the way for the guests.
Horatio walked in the opposite direction. There was no one else on this corridor, so he had to walk down the stairs in the dark.
Suddenly, a group of hurried figures flashed past at the end of the corridor in front of him like the wind.
But it was too dark, and he couldn't see what it was.
And he didn't carry a flashlight in his casual clothes.
Just when he was feeling annoyed about this.
The thumb of the iron hand opened automatically, and a beam of light shone out from it.
With the light source, Horatio, who was puzzled by this scene, saw a string of small characters on the inside of the opened thumb joint, which was etched and looked quite new.
'Latti-EB2A1 is here. ’ At the end of the character, a simple Lati head with a smile on his face was engraved.
[? ] Horatio slowly typed a question mark in his mind.
This guy said he didn’t touch my iron hand!
When did she make this thing? The last time it was maintained? Or... when Tadashi operated on me to hypnotize me naked?
But she shouldn’t have done anything bad, otherwise she would have engraved her name on it, which would be too abstract.
Did she just make a small modification and then play a little prank?
He planned to question her face to face next time, but now, it’s better to have a light source than nothing.
Horatio tried it. He only needed to make a fist and naturally extend his thumb forward to illuminate the road ahead. Even if he held a knife or a gun in his hand, his thumb could always rotate freely, and it was defaulted to face forward, and the light beam always illuminated the front. It can be said that the ergonomic planning in this small design is very forward-looking.
Boom! Bang!
A violent collision sound came from the front, and Horatio vigilantly took out his pistol from the inner pocket of his coat.
"Help!" A woman's scream came from the corner in front, and a figure appeared.
Anna Fei was holding her torn dress, wearing flesh-colored stockings and bright red high heels. She broke free from the arms of the masked man who held her hostage, and saw a young man walking with light, and she couldn't help but stumble towards Horatio.
"Please get out of the way!" Horatio immediately raised his pistol, and suddenly, another killer rushed out of the darkness at the corner, knocked Horatio away, and disrupted the trajectory.
Bang! Bang!
A bomb shattered the ceiling.
The huge gunshot instantly resounded throughout the theater.
At first, people were stunned, but Louise recognized that it was the sound of a bomb.
"It's a gunshot! Everyone, get out of here! Go out of different doors!" Louise shouted quickly.
The crowd screamed, and the waiters were busy but not chaotic, reflecting the quality of the staff of the top theater. Although they were uneasy, they still evacuated the crowd according to the emergency evacuation plan that had been rehearsed thousands of times.
Fortunately, the interior of this luxurious theater is spacious and there are many security doors. The crowd can evacuate from several doors. It is just a little crowded, but the process is still relatively fast.
"Horatio, what's wrong with you?" Louise asked, starting the communication micro bead, and at the same time picked up the pistol and ran in the direction he left.
"There is a killer in the theater!" The other end of the communication was very noisy, with the sound of the chain saw sword's motor and the sound of swords colliding.
Louise took a deep breath and quickened her pace.
Buzz! Buzz!
Horatio summoned the Holy Blood Chain Saw Sword from his iron hand, and fought with the killer who attacked from the side with the light emitted from his thumb.
Without the help of power armor, this was a pure competition of combat skills.
Horatio first opened up the distance. In this situation of being attacked in the face, the short blade has an unmatched advantage.
If it weren't for the omen fragment that led his body to perform the first step of evasion instinct, he would have been stabbed in the waist and had to fight with the injury.
Perhaps because of long-term dance practice, Anna Fei was agile and dodged several assassins' attacks and grabs in succession, turning her head and diving into the dark corridor.
Horatio didn't have time to think about it and blocked the assassins' way in time. One of them wanted to rush in by force, but Horatio took a step to the right and swung his sword. The roaring single-molecule sawtooth forced him to retreat and dodge.
Finally, the assassins wearing night vision devices on their heads looked at each other and signaled, and then rushed forward like a pack of wolves.
