Chapter 68 068. "The King in Yellow"

The Gucheng Hotel at night is wrapped in red mist.

In the banquet hall, cups of wine were intertwined, and there were laughter and laughter.

Located in the middle is naturally Li Qing's table.

Next to him sat the mayor, the chief of police and other persons in charge of the old city's government departments. There was a wide variety of food on the table, but everyone's attention was on Li Qing, watching his words and demeanor, for fear of neglecting him.

Li Qing was playing with the bone china wine glass in his hand. It was said that it was 30 years old, but in his opinion, it was just an ordinary drink.

The performances on the stage continued, nothing more than some juggling, singing and dancing, tacky, mediocre, and lackluster.

"I heard that Tang Xiaomeng will sing a new song tonight, is it true?"

"It is said that her singing really lingered for three days, with an endless aftertaste."

"He is also handsome. No wonder Chief Li is attracted to him."

"It is said that it is the finale project before the New Year, and the song is also newly written."

There were low conversations from other tables, and many people were looking forward to Tang Xiaomeng's visit.

But before that, Xia Yi's play must be staged first.

Everyone is not interested in this drama.

After all, Xia Yi's choreographies before were all the old third songs that sang praises, and when everyone watched them, most of them were echoing and praising Li Qing.

Xia Yi sat next to Li Qing and watched the show with an indifferent expression. He did not drink or eat.

"What is the drama that Mr. Xia is preparing this time, can you reveal a little bit first?"

Someone asked, but Xia Yi only shook his head.

"You'll know when you read it. Some things are meaningless if you know them in advance."

When the people on the side heard the words, they just laughed and said nothing, thinking that Xia Yi was playing tricks.

But when the host's interlude was over and the black curtain was drawn back, the scene suddenly fell silent.

The actors came out one by one and began to interpret the plot.

Anyone who knows a little bit about the popular culture of the old city will know that it is adapted from the work "The King in Yellow" by the famous writer Kiriyama.

The book itself is quite exciting, and Xia Yi's adaptation of the story is also very impressive, and everyone quickly became immersed in it.

It's just a little confused, why Xia Yi staged an adaptation of a work with a tragic ending on this occasion.

Li Qing glanced at Xia Yi.

"Mr. Xia, your repertoire is quite interesting."

Xia Yi remained silent.

With the performance of the drama, all the audience are immersed in it.

They seem to have become the characters in the play, acting for their own desires, step by step contacting those indescribable and irrational things, breaking away from the shackles of human beings little by little, and stepping into the realm of inhumanity.

This is no longer just a fantasy in the mind.

A wealthy businessman suddenly stood up. He grinned. Then he put his hand into his mouth and started to pull. Within a moment, he tore his tongue out, as excited as a child.

A woman screamed, picked up the chopsticks on the table and inserted them into her fingernails, opened the flesh and blood, kept spinning, her shoulders trembled, and she let out a creepy laugh.

The soldiers standing next to the banquet hall noticed something was wrong, but when they tried to stop these people, they found that they could not move.

bang——

A soldier took out a gun, shot himself three times in the legs, and then tried to commit suicide with the gun, but the bullet only passed through the jaw and shot out from the eye socket.

All of a sudden, the entire banquet hall seemed like a spiritual plague spread, and everyone began to go crazy, killing each other, and hurting themselves and the people around them in unimaginable ways.

On the stage, the performance continues.

All the actors were immersed in the plot and were not affected by the scene at all. When the plot progressed to the point where a person was stabbed through the heart by a friend's sword because of a fight for treasure, the actor actually pierced the other person's heart with a long sword. heart.

Blood spurted out and landed on the guests in the front row, but they still continued to harm each other happily, as if this was a grand banquet, and the only theme was to turn the entire banquet hall into a sea of ​​blood.

Crazy, ferocious, weird, and an atmosphere full of indescribable horror spread in the venue.

A few strangers noticed something was wrong, but the most they could do was control themselves from falling into madness, unable to move, and staring at the stage.

Li Qing felt dizzy, as if someone was stirring with red-hot iron tongs.

He looks aside.

Xia Yi remained calm, and even picked up tea that he hadn't drunk before.

"When this play is over, the New Year in the old city will arrive."

He said.

"You betrayed me?"

Li Qing's expression changed slightly and he clenched his fists slightly.

"Do you remember Teacher Wen from Jiangcheng University?"

Xia Yi said in a deep voice, the veins on the back of his hand were bulging, and there seemed to be some insects wriggling in the blood vessels, he pressed gently to calm down the restlessness.

"Do you remember Jia Zixian, Xiang Jingqi, Peng Qianming, Jiang Mengli?"

He read out the names one by one, but Li Qing looked confused. He couldn't think of where he had heard these names.

"You can't even remember the names of the people you executed."

Xia Yi's voice sounded very calm, not full of enthusiasm like his words.

"They are my classmates, teachers, and friends. They are people who are running against you. Your army captured them and executed them. No one even took their bodies back."

"You want revenge?"

Li Qing finally understood Xia Yi's thoughts.

"You don't understand our ideals."

Xia Yi sighed. For a warlord like Li Qing, hatred, wealth, and desire are the fundamental driving forces for a person's actions. He will never understand those shining ideals.

For this reason, Xia Yi did not hesitate to get his hands dirty, climbed in the darkest places, deceived the closest people, and could not get everyone's understanding.

"You are so arrogant that you think you can control everything, and you even dare to put your enemies next to you."

"Is there a possibility that I can really control everything?"

The corners of Li Qing's mouth turned up suddenly, and he said in a deep voice.

"You could actually kill me now instead of saying those nonsense lines about a trial."

"The reason why you didn't do it is not because you don't want to, but because you can't."

"I guess all the killer moves are this drama. Only when the show is over, everyone sitting here will die, right?"

"After all, this is The King in Yellow, a drama where all the characters die until the end."

Hearing Li Qing's words, Xia Yi frowned slightly. The skin on his neck was crawling, and the solidified blood like branches was constantly eating away at his body. Obviously, in this banquet hall, even Xia Yi himself could Very greatly affected.

He saw that Li Qing's trembling and struggling suddenly stopped, as if he was not affected at all.

He saw that Li Qing stood up.
