How to break into a Chinese book

The man who played the queen was named Choate.

He is tall and straight, with a high nose bridge, and a pair of deep blue eyes. He looks at people with a sense of casual alienation. He is a standard European handsome man.

Shen Yi always felt that he was a little familiar.

Choate didn't talk much, and after helping him put on the crown, he stuffed this line for him: "It's about to start, let's look at the script at the end."

Shen Yi flipped through the script book, which was not too thick, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he doesn't have many roles.

In this scene, after Hamlet learned that the current king, that is, the uncle named Claudius played by Shen Yi, had killed his own father and usurped the throne, he was angry and entangled in his heart, and acted in front of the king and queen. It was a drama of brother killing brother.

As the king, Claudius was of course enraged, and finally threw a sentence in a strange way: "Hamlet is such a good and filial boy" and left.

So Shen Yi didn't feel much pressure in the whole scene.

All he has to do is honestly play a spectator.

Soon, the voice of the front desk announcer sounded.

Choate, who was already waiting at the entrance of the stage, grabbed Shen Yi behind him, and then the burly man who was half a head taller shyly tilted his head on his shoulder, and said while walking towards the center of the stage: "Honey, Hamlet said he would give you a present today!"

The dazzling spotlight hit Shen Yi's face.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye, and the audience was full of audiences, all of them engrossed.

He had no choice but to turn his head and cooperate, "What gift?"

Choate whispered in his ear.

The stage play requires that all the lines can be heard by the audience, so he whispered so loudly that Shen Yi's ears were almost deafened: "He has prepared a wonderful drama for you!"

As soon as the words fell, Hamlet came on stage with his filial son.

The actor who plays Hamlet is the same as Shen Yi, a handsome foreign guy with black hair.

The difference is that he is taller, and there is a mysterious gloomy feeling between his brows and eyes.

Choate whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Ham seems to have forgotten to tie his tie."

The actor who plays Hamlet is called Hamm?

Hamm raised his eyelashes, his gloomy gaze fixed on Shen Yi: "Dear Your Majesty the King, in order to congratulate you on your ascension to the throne, I specially arranged a drama for you——"

popping.

He clapped his hands, and the lights on the stage went out suddenly.

Originally thought it was the effect of the show, but suddenly there was a scream from the backstage, and Shen Yi realized that not only the stage, but also the lights of the auditorium off the stage were also turned off.

The audience was plunged into pitch-black darkness.

Strangely, the audience in the audience didn't seem to respond.

"Is this a plot effect?" Shen Yi asked in a low voice, wanting to stand up and take a look.

Choate, who was beside him, held him down: "Don't move."

"There is no such part in the plot."

After the shrill scream in the background, Shen Yi vaguely heard someone crying, "It's Polo! Polo is dead!"

The next moment, the emergency lights on the stage came on.

Shen Yi didn't go backstage immediately.

Because something far more terrifying than a dead person appeared—the auditorium, which was still full before the lights were turned off, was empty at the moment.

In the entire theater hall at the front desk, there were only these three people left on the stage.

Shen Yi, Choate and Hamm.

Suddenly someone pushed open the backstage door, and it was a thin and handsome guy who was dressed as a man and said, "Something has happened!"

"Everyone... all the staff have disappeared!" His voice trembled, "And... Polo is dead!"

Choate and Hamm didn't go backstage directly.

Choate pulled out the complicated bustle of the European skirt, flipped off the stage and ran towards the gate of the theater hall, while Ham rushed towards the windows on both sides of the auditorium.

The retro and heavy European-style door was tightly closed. Choate pushed hard a few times, and said in a deep voice, "The door can't be opened."

Hamm over there also said, "The windows are also locked."

The other handsome blond boy dressed as a woman had tears streaming down his face, and his body was trembling: "It's him...it must be him! That theater evil spirit!"

boom -

There was a sudden burst of thunder outside the window, and the gloomy sound like the chains of the soul-devouring hell, completely trapped several people in this cage.

The bustling theater turned into an empty hell of dead souls, and all the audience and staff disappeared together with the breath of the world, leaving only a few of them—those who were chosen to be companions with the devil.

Shen Yi had long been prepared to experience a terrifying dungeon, so compared to the restlessness of others, he seemed calmer: "You said Polo is dead?"

Who is Polo?

The handsome blond guy dressed as a woman glared at Shen Yi, with some resentment in his words: "I knew that brother Polo hangs out with you all day, nothing good will happen! You must have killed him!"

Shen Yi who doesn't even know who Polo is:? ? ?

"Okay, Offie." Hamm interrupted the blond boy to complain, and walked over to hold his hand, "I know you're sad, but my brother is innocent too."

"He is innocent, isn't my dead brother Po Luo innocent!"

Saying that, the handsome blond fell into Ham's arms.

Hamm ruffled his hair and lowered his head to place a kiss on his lips.

Shen Yi:? ? ?

Wow, the amount of information is a bit big!

Choate whispered in Shen Yi's ear: "You should know, your brother and Ophelia are lovers."

Shen also vaguely sorted out the relationship between the few people.

The handsome blond guy named Ophelia in women's clothing should be the actor who played Hamlet's girlfriend Ophelia in the play. Coincidentally, the two actors are also lovers in reality.

According to Joate's reminder, there is a high probability that Shen Yi and Hamm are brothers, and the dead Polo and Ophelia are brothers again...

So roughly summed up, this dungeon should be a story of love and hatred between the two brothers of the Ham family and the two brothers of the Offie family.

Shen Yi glanced back at Choate, hoping that he was on his side: "What's the relationship between you and me?"

Choate looked at him expressionlessly: "Husband and wife."

Shen Yi:? ? ?

Choate said: "You are playing the usurping king Claudius, and I am the remarried queen Gertrude. Of course we are husband and wife."

Shen Yi's face was full of black lines: "I'm asking you what is the relationship between us in reality."

Choate glanced at him faintly, his eyes were dim and unclear: "It's a friend."

A few people came to the backstage very quickly, only then did they see Polo's death.

He was leaning upright on the back of the sofa chair in the lounge, his eyes were wide open, and there were no wounds on his body, as if he had been frightened to death by something.

Shen also found that he recognized Polo.

The dead man, named Polo, was the blond man who had just started urging him onstage in the dressing room.

What's even more frightening is that on the wall behind the polo sofa, someone wrote two English words in blood: alldie.

All must die.

Shen Yi raised his hand and touched it. The blood hadn't completely dried up, and there was a faint fishy smell on his fingertips.

"What's the matter with the theater ghost you just mentioned?" Shen Yi remembered what Ao Fei said.

Offee was shaking all over, and didn't dare to look up at the line of blood: "It is said that every five years, a group of "Hamlet" actors will be killed by evil spirits! This year happens to be the fifth year!"

Shen Yi looked around, counting the deceased Polo, the five people present in the play "Hamlet" were all dead ends.

The first to die was Ophelia's father Polonius, and if nothing else happened, Polo was the actor who played Polonius;

The second person to die was Hamlet's girlfriend Ophelia. In the play, she fell into a river after learning the news of her father's death. The actor was Ophelia;

The third deceased was Hamlet's mother, Queen Geortrude, played by Choate, who died because she accidentally drank the liquor prepared by the king for Hamlet;

The fourth is King Claudius played by Shen Yi.

As for Hamlet himself, he was shot in the sword fight.

alldie.

Exactly the same as the bloodstained prophecy on the wall.

"If the evil spirit that Offee said is true," Shen Yi frowned, "Polo's death seems to indicate a certain order."

"According to the order of death of the protagonists in "Hamlet", the next one is..." He pointed at Ofe, "Ophelia."

Offie immediately threw herself into Ham's arms in fright.

Hamm didn't believe in the so-called theory of evil spirits. His eyes fell on the empty coffee cup on the coffee table: "Instead of believing in unsuspecting ghosts and gods, it's better to say..."

He picked up the coffee cup: "Someone is more direct to Poirot."

Polo should have been sitting in the lounge drinking a cup of coffee. Judging from his death without any external injuries, his death from a shotgun is justified.

Offie asked sadly, "Then who killed my brother?"

Ham glanced in Shen Yi's direction, and said without silver 300 taels, "I don't know either."

With Offie's obedient character to Hamm, she successfully pointed the gun at the enemy.

"It's you?!" Ofi suddenly realized, "It really is you! You've been dissatisfied with my brother for supporting Ham, right?!"

"How can old Mr. Hamm be so old-fashioned and stupid! He actually handed over the candy factory industry of the Hamm family to an adopted child of yours!" Offee scoffed, "You probably didn't expect that, did you? Although my brother usually Seeing that I have a good relationship with you, I still support Ham at the critical moment! After all, he is the legitimate heir of the Ham family!"

So everyone's destiny trajectory is even similar to "Hamlet".

The candy factory is like a throne, he, a man with a bad name, inherits the family property, and the real "Prince" Hamm holds a grudge... Wait!

Didn't Ham think he killed Old Ham?

No wonder the vibe between the brothers is weird...

"Okay." Choate stopped the farce, "Of course we hope that this matter has nothing to do with evil spirits."

"But how do you explain the sudden disappearance of the audience and staff, and the theater doors that can't be opened at all?"

Offie's face turned pale.

Ham quickly squeezed his palm gently, and said to the others: "No matter what, we can't keep Polo lying here like this."

"Send him to the upstairs room first, and when we can go out... then we can find a way to bury him."

Hamm and Joate lifted Polo and walked out, and Offie was a follower, sticking behind Hamm all the time.

Shen Yi felt that he couldn't intervene, and was about to see if there was anyone else in the theater, when he saw a man with brown hair in a costume walking in through the back door.

"you are?"

There was a gentle bookish look between the man's brows, and he smiled gently at Shen Yi: "I'm Horatio."

"I also played Horatio in "Hamlet". I'm a newcomer. You probably haven't seen me."

Horatio is Hamlet's only true friend. When others betray Hamlet, he is the only one who stands firmly behind his friend.

Of course, he is also the only survivor among the protagonists of "Hamlet".

Does he belong to the range of alldie?

"You may not know me, but I know you, Teece." Horatio said, "Horatio in the play is Hamlet's friend, but I am willing to believe you."

"I don't think you will be Claudius."

"To be honest, the candy factory of the Hamm family is a mess. It has been losing money all year round and is on the verge of bankruptcy. You released a new product and temporarily saved its life."

"And..." He leaned closer to Shen Yi, with a faint ambiguous smile on his lips, "How can a person who can make such sweet candies be a bad person?"

This Huo Laxu was clearly showing his favor, but Shen Yi always felt hairy all over his body.

He bypassed the people in front of him and walked towards the aisle. When he saw the lounge with his name printed on it, he quickly opened the door and went in, blocking Horatio from the door: "I want to take a break, sorry."

Hearing the sound of the other party's footsteps getting farther and farther away, Shen Yicai reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.

This lounge is not too big, but maybe because of Shen Yi's identity as the owner and designer of the candy factory, there is a small kitchen.

Shen Yi pushed open the kitchen door and saw a box of colorful macarons frozen in the freezer, and the words newproduct were printed on the exquisite packaging.

The candy factory is on the verge of closing down, so as the boss, Tice is going to launch macarons as a new product. The candy factory produces desserts, which can be regarded as an innovation.

Shen Yi pinched a macaron and stuffed it into his mouth, he almost vomited.

Is it too sweet?

Although foreigners like sweets, this level of sweetness can be served by insulin every minute.

How can such a thing that has no other taste except sweetness save a company?

The chef has a sense of social responsibility, and Shen also feels that it is necessary for him to let these poor foreigners have a taste of Chinese food.

He is going to make a special dessert for the Chinese Tomb-sweeping Festival - Qingtuan.

Chop wormwood into green juice, mix it with glutinous rice flour and knead it well, wrap the green glutinous rice dough with sweet bean paste filling, knead it into a round green body and steam it in a pan.

The qingtuan are plump, round, oily and green like jade, and then the skin of the qingtuan is brushed with a layer of clear oil, which is even more shiny like jadeite dumplings.

After 10 minutes, a pot of emerald green green dough came out of the pot.

The fresh scent of wormwood is mixed with the soft, glutinous and clear glutinous rice flour. The green dough formed is soft and not sticky to the teeth. One bite is the sweet bean paste. .

Compared with Deiss's box of sweet macarons, the taste of Qingtuan seems to bring people back to the green grass in early spring, and the natural freshness of the blue sky and boundless wilderness can be felt deep in the soul.

As soon as Shen Yi put the Youth League on a plate, he heard someone banging on the door viciously.

It was Offie and Hamm.

Ofi, the leader, sniffed the smell coming from the kitchen, and rushed in angrily: "What dark cooking are you doing again?"

He saw the green green doughnuts on the table at a glance.

"This kind of color is so sexy at first glance... Sure enough, you are the one who killed my brother with a gun?!"

Shen Yi said helplessly: "I just got out of the pot..."

"My brother likes to eat sweets while drinking coffee, so your dessert actually killed him?" Offee suddenly said, "Is this it?!"

Shen Yi looked at him expressionlessly: "If you feel that there is a dick, you can eat one and see if you will be killed by the dick."

Offee said angrily: "Am I stupid! Knowing that there are dicks and still eating?!"

"Anyway, according to the order, you should be the next one to die. It's different in whoever dies?" Shen Yi shrugged.

Offie: ...

Qingtuan tastes best while it's hot, Shen Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he squeezed one and stuffed it into his mouth.

Perhaps it was the scent of wormwood that made several people move their index fingers, or maybe it was Shen Yi's food that made them relax their vigilance. Ofe swallowed and stared at Shen Yi: "No **?"

Shen Yinu pouted: "Try?"

Offie tentatively took one and stuffed it into his mouth.

The mouth is full of the taste of green grass in spring. The bean paste is not as sweet as other candies, but it is the sweetness that is conveyed to the heart through the tip of the tongue.

He quickly finished one and went to get the second one.

After eating five in a row, Shen Yicai asked him: "How is it, are you dead?"

Offee's eyes widened, his mouth was stuffed: "Dead!"

“Delicious to die for!”
