No Words [Book of Terror]

On the stage, the closed curtain was slowly pulled back.

The show begins.

The first act of this ballet tells the story of a wandering folk princess returning to the royal family, but when learning the knowledge required by various princesses, she encounters problems because of the difference between commoners and nobles. In the end, the princess uses Her extraordinary wisdom solved the problem.

The plot of the ballet was very simple, and Lin Ye had searched the Internet before when he received the task, so he already knew what the plot of the ballet was.

Lin Ye only occasionally glanced at the performances of the actors on the stage, and then put his mind on other things.

After all, at this moment, if you only watch the show, you are looking for death.

Lin Ye had noticed the golden tulip in the woman's hand in the black dress before, and the golden tulip in the other's hand was the same golden tulip he had seen before.

Lin Ye knew almost instantly that the other party was also a participant in this mission.

And several other mission participants who didn't know Joey, saw the tulip in Joey's hand, and understood that she was a participant in this mission.

It was as if when Chen Xiao was sitting in the first row with a tulip in his hand, apart from Luo Zhengqing who knew Chen Xiao, several other people had already guessed Chen Xiao's identity.

Lin Ye was going to use the excuse of going to the bathroom to take a look at the backstage he hadn't been to, maybe there might be some important clues there.

But Lin Ye wasn't the first to take action.

It was Joey.

Shui Lily has been sitting beside Joey, and she was the first to notice that Joey had left.

Joey left the seat very quickly. Before Shui Linglan could fully react, Joey had already left a long way. Shui Linglan looked at the seat next to her and realized that Joey had left.

In the auditorium, there were many bodyguards and service personnel maintaining order. Joey only asked one service personnel, "Where is the toilet?" Then he walked in the direction pointed by the service personnel under the instruction of the service personnel .

After Joey got familiar with the way, he went to the backstage. In fact, the auditorium could not lead to the backstage, and there were two security guards on the passage.

But this is not a problem for Joey at all.

After knocking them out, she laid them down in a hidden corner, and walked into the backstage as if no one else was there. At this time, everyone was very busy backstage.

Joey watched as she walked, probably because Joey's expression was very natural, so some actors and staff who saw Joey didn't ask who she was.After all, right now, everyone has no time to pay attention to other things.

And Joey's move to stun the two security guards also made it easier for the later mission participants.

In fact, for Joey, it is completely possible to enter the backstage without being noticed by the security guards.

But after a brief consideration, Joey still chose to knock out the bodyguard.

Because she knows what she can do, other task participants may not be able to do it.

And she actually needs the wisdom of other mission participants.

Although Joy is not only powerful in force, but her wisdom cannot be underestimated. In that movie theater mission, it was Joy who first discovered the true identity of the ghost.

However, Joy is not arrogant enough to think that she can do everything alone. Maybe she also needs the wisdom and help of others in the process of carrying out the task.Although this is not necessarily something that will happen, Joey will never do things that cut off his vitality.

After all, Joey is an absolute egoist.She will never do anything that is not good for her.

Lin Ye was the second to enter the backstage. As soon as he entered the backstage, he met the manager of the ballet company, Ruth.

Lin Ye had seen a picture of this woman on the Internet, so he could recognize her.

But what attracted Lin Ye was not Ruth's identity, but a brooch pinned to a coat she was holding in her hand. The brooch was in the shape of a tulip, very beautiful and delicate.

The third one.Lin Ye thought.

Seeing Lin Ye, Ruth was a little puzzled, "Oh, who are you? Why do I seem to have never seen you before?"

Lin Ye smiled, and replied naturally, "I'm from the Lin family, and I wish your dance troupe a successful performance."

Ruth smiled, "Thank you. So you are from the Lin family. You are so handsome, young man." It turned out to be from the Lin family, and Ruth cleared her doubts.

And Lin Ye had known for a long time that the ballet troupe came to China to perform, and one of the sponsors was Lin's, so Lin Ye didn't have to worry about Ruth's suspicion when he said that.

"Thank you for your compliment, where are you going now?" Lin Ye asked.

Ruth held the coat in her hand. "The button of my coat fell off. I want to put it back."

"So that's how it is." Lin Ye was stunned, "The brooch on your coat is really beautiful."

"Thanks. I think it's beautiful too." Ruth smiled.

"Well, I heard that Dancing, the head of the Queen, loves tulips very much. I wonder if this brooch is a gift from her?" Lin Ye asked intentionally.

The smile on Ruth's face suddenly froze, "Oh, no." Ruth didn't seem to want to answer this question, she just said, "I'll go first."

Lin Ye watched Ruth's leaving back, but did not follow. Many reports said that Ruth and Dancing, the head of the ballet troupe, were old friends and had a good relationship.But now it seems...it doesn't seem to be the case?

Otherwise, why did Ruth become unhappy when Lin Ye mentioned dancing?

In fact, Lin Ye just hit Ruth's heart, so Ruth behaved like this.

Usually, the relationship between Ruth and Dancing is really good, and her face will not change drastically when Dancing is mentioned by others.After all, Ruth and Dancing have been friends for many years, and there is indeed some affection between them.

However, if Ruth and Dancing are good friends, that’s not the case. In fact, Dancing’s character is not the kind of very warm or gentle woman. Dancing is relatively cold most of the time, no She is too talkative, and only someone she knows well can make Dancing say a few more words.

Of course, this excludes references to ballet. Dancing loves ballet very much, and only when ballet is mentioned, she will talk endlessly.

However, this is also understandable. If Dancing didn't love ballet, how could she devote so much to ballet and become such a successful ballet dancer?

Several people left in the first row, leaving several vacant seats. If the audience in the back row found out, they might scold Lin Ye and the others, "It's so precious to sit in such a good position and not watch the show. "

In fact, there are quite a few people who like this ballet company, but these fans are not as irrational as chasing stars, and what they are watching is a more elegant art performance like ballet, so they seem more reserved.

In the middle, a woman with brown hair and brown pupils watched the performance with tears in her eyes.

This woman is a European, even in terms of mainlanders' aesthetics, her appearance is very good, but this beautiful foreign woman is not young, and there is a wedding ring on her left ring finger. quit.

This wedding ring is also in the shape of a tulip, worn on the woman's slender and fair finger, complementing each other, it is extremely beautiful.

This woman is actually Jared's sister, Sarah, who has been dead for many years.

As Jared's younger sister, Sarah knew her brother better. Before her brother passed away unexpectedly, Sarah knew that her brother liked a girl, and that girl was Dancing.

Although Sarah thinks that Dancing is relatively indifferent, since she is the woman her brother likes, Sarah will treat her differently.

It is a pity that my brother passed away so early.

And when he died, he was still holding a tulip-shaped necklace in his hand. Sarah knew that tulips were the favorite flower of Dancing, the woman her brother liked, and the necklace Jared was holding must be given as a gift. For Dancing.

However, the elder brother died before he could send it out.

Sarah has kept the necklace ever since.In fact, Sarah has been waiting, waiting for an opportunity to give Jared's necklace to Dancing, because this is her brother's wish, and Sarah wants to fulfill his last wish for her brother.

However, Sarah did not give this necklace to Dancing back then, because at that time, Dancing was still so young and beautiful, and it was possible for her to fall into the arms of another man, so what if she gave this necklace to her? Woolen cloth?Jared will never be the most important person in Dancing's heart.

But, so many years later, Sarah saw that Dancing had always been alone, that she had not had any deep relationships or unraveling with other men except ballet, and that she had been single for so many years.

At this point, Sarah admires Dancing again.Because she may not be able to do this, if her lover dies, will she still love?

Sarah's answer is: yes.

Sarah felt that it was time to give the necklace to Dancing. She had followed the ballet from the first performance of the ballet for a while, and she was going to watch Dancing's performance in place of Jared until this world tour. Finish.And at that time, it was time for Sarah to hand over the tulip necklace to Dancing.

The reason why Sarah's wedding ring is in the shape of a tulip is actually very simple.Because, she felt, tulips represented love.

The elder brother was still holding the tulip necklace at the last second before he died, and refused to let go.She hopes that her marriage and love can be like this, and she can not let go at the last moment before she dies, so she chose a tulip-shaped wedding ring.

Actually, isn't Sarah thinking right?

No one knows.

But at least, when it comes to Dancing, she's not quite right.

Sarah believes that Dancing has refused to marry for so many years because she can't forget her brother Jared.

But, in fact?

In fact, Dancing really liked Jared back then. After all, she was at a beautiful age at that time, and she had longed for love, and Jared, who was in line with her imagination in every way, did give her some ideas. , which is unavoidable.

But, what Dancing loves most is always ballet, no one or anything can surpass the existence of ballet.Moreover, Dancing also found out that her friend Ruth also liked Jared.

What kind of existence is Ruth to Dancing? Dancing is indifferent, has few hobbies other than ballet, and has few friends, so Ruth and Jared are her only friends.But if Dancing regards Ruth as her very good friend, that's not the case.

At that time, Ruth was a little assistant. Compared with Jared, who often faced each other day and night, Dancing's feelings for Ruth were just a familiar stranger, and they could barely be regarded as friends.

Therefore, Dancing will not give up the person he likes for Ruth, but he will not fight for Jared either.Because her nature is like this, she feels that what is hers is hers, and others cannot take it away, and she will not fight for what is not hers; besides, although she likes Jared, it is only a relatively weak liking. I will change myself for this.This is the pride of Dancing alone.

And what was Jared thinking at the time?Jared and Dancing belong to the kind of ambiguous state, more than friends, not full of lovers, Jared is really a little troubled when he knows that Ruth likes him, but he also hopes that Ruth likes him can make Dancing Show her sincerity, so that the two can be together smoothly.

However, Jared didn't expect that Dancing didn't respond at all. This made Jared wonder if his feelings were all illusions, and Dancing actually didn't like him at all?

Therefore, in order to test Dancing, Jared specially spent a lot of money to buy a brooch as a gift for Ruth.He thought, if Dancing really liked him, then she would definitely not be unresponsive.

But even when he was buying a gift for Ruth, he still thought about Dancing, so when he bought the brooch, he chose the tulip shape that Dancing likes.

And Dancing was indeed sad for a while after Jared's death, but after that, she devoted all her mind to ballet. As for the reason why she didn't get married, she just didn't want to get married and didn't want to disturb her because of getting married. It's just her ballet.In fact, over the years, many men have pursued Dancing, including famous and rich men.

But Dancing is not a fool, she knows that if she marries these men, then she may never be able to devote herself to ballet like this again, she can only be a reserved lady.

Dancing is absolutely unwilling to accept such a result, so she doesn't want to get married, and also rejects the pursuit of many men.

For Dancing, love is just a dispensable thing, and ballet is the belief she has been pursuing and giving in her life.

So Sarah thought Dancing was single for so many years because of Jared, which was completely wrong.

On the stage, Evan, as a knight, will appear many times in the plot of this ballet. Even though he may not have any role, he just quietly guards the beautiful princess, but he still needs to appear.

And Evan also showed the knight's hidden love for the princess very well. The knight fell in love with the princess during the process of contacting the princess, but he couldn't show it because he was just a knight.A knight is not worthy of a princess.

In reality, Evan does love Dancing, but he knows Dancing very well. Dancing has no affection for him, and even if he expresses love like Dancing, she will not accept it.Not to mention, Evan can actually be said to be Dancing's disciple, much younger than Dancing. Although foreign countries are more enlightened in this regard, there will still be people who talk about things.So Evan has always been hiding his love for Dancing, which coincides with the feelings of the knights in the play.

Luo Zhengqing entered the backstage after Lin Ye, and he found Tang Ye.

In fact, Luo Zhengqing and Tang Ye hadn't met each other for several years, but they still recognized each other.

Tang Ye was puzzled, "Why are you here?"

Luo Zhengqing said, "My dad asked me to come. Oh, by the way, I heard that Aunt Tang will also come to your performance, but I didn't see her. Uncle Tang is a bit busy and can't come today."

Tang Ye nodded and sighed, "I know this. My dad said he would come back to watch my performance when I returned to our city, so he won't come this time. By the way, how did you come backstage?"

"Why can't I come in?" Luo Zhengqing said, "I walked in after walking." Luo Zhengqing deliberately did not mention the two knocked out security guards in the corner.

"Really? That's weird, there should be security guards not letting in." Tang Yao shrugged, "And aren't you afraid to see us women changing clothes?"

Luo Zhengqing "uh" for a while, then said to Tang Ye, "I actually have something I want to ask you."

"what's up?"

"Do you have tulips here, or anything in the shape of tulips?" Luo Zhengqing asked.

"Why are you asking this?" Tang Ye was very strange, but she still answered Luo Zhengqing's question, "I think about it, it seems that Ruth, our manager, is wearing a tulip brooch today, you know, she Usually, I always dress up very elite and old-fashioned, and we have never seen that brooch. Speaking of which, Ruth is really a bit strange today? I also saw her desperately washing dishes in the bathroom, I don’t know Is there something wrong with her?"

"Tulip's brooch?" Luo Zhengqing asked, "Are you sure? This is the only one?"

Tang Ye nodded with certainty the first time, but not so sure the second time, "I'm not sure about that, maybe who still wears some tulip jewelry or who sent tulip flowers, it all depends It's possible, if you want to know, just go and look around for yourself. I still have to prepare my emotions before the performance, so don't bother me."

Luo Zhengqing could only look around in the background by himself, but he was already very satisfied with getting so much information from Tang Ye.

At the same time, Luo Zhengqing also had some doubts about Ruth mentioned in Tang Ye's mouth.

In the mission description of Zibuyu, there are ghosts in this auditorium, and how many ghosts are uncertain, but ghosts are not objects, so it is easier to understand, which means that ghosts must be people, maybe they are possessed by ghosts In someone, perhaps a ghost masquerading as someone alive.And Ruth's behavior is very strange, which is very suspicious.

After all, Ruth, as the manager of the ballet company, hides in the bathroom to wash dishes at such an important moment of the performance, which is indeed suspicious.

Moreover, Ruth is still wearing a tulip brooch, maybe Luo Zhengqing needs to get Ruth's tulip brooch at the last moment of the mission to ensure the completion of the mission.

In fact, Luo Zhengqing was not very busy getting a tulip. Although he didn't know how many participants there were in this mission, and whether 7 tulips were enough for them, but since there were ghosts in this mission, then People will definitely die, maybe in the end, several mission participants will die, then the fight for tulips will become less important, and in the end, maybe there is more than enough tulips to grab at all.

However, just in case, Luo Zhengqing still got one tulip if he could get one.In this way, there is no need to worry about the last moment of the task.

However, Luo Zhengqing was looking for Ruth in the background, but he didn't find Ruth's figure, so he could only give up temporarily.

At this time, Luo Zhengqing and Lin Ye ran into each other.

Seeing that Luo Zhengqing seemed to be looking for someone, Lin Ye asked, and Luo Zhengqing told Lin Ye that he was looking for Ruth, and at the same time told Lin Ye about Ruth's strange behavior.

When Lin Ye heard what Luo Zhengqing said, something flashed through his mind, but when he thought about it carefully, he forgot what he actually thought of.

Afterwards, Lin Ye told Luo Zhengqing that he had seen Ruth's situation before.

And at this time, on the stage, the first act was coming to an end.
