Chapter 36
It was getting dark and the lights were on, and a few people began to walk into the theater.Bai Bi was still wearing black clothes, looking at the poster of "Soul of Lou Lan" pasted at the entrance of the theater, which was drawn by her.She felt that the best time to appreciate this painting was when night fell. The green light at the entrance of the theater just illuminated the poster, and the brightness was moderate. If it was too bright, the atmosphere would be lost.
The eyes of the woman in the picture are looking straight ahead, and that kind of gaze gives the whole picture a three-dimensional sense, just like the woman is going to walk from the painting to the road with her lover's head in her arms. Also took a few steps back.It was only now that Bai Bi began to feel a little surprised. She couldn't believe that such a painting came from her own handwriting, and she even doubted whether she could draw such a painting.At least she was sure that if she was asked to draw the same painting again now, she would never be able to draw it.In particular, the bloody head in the painting appeared so conspicuously at the entrance of the theater on the side of the road that many passers-by had to look at it for no reason.Bai Bi stood at the door and watched people's expressions after seeing the painting. Almost everyone stopped to look at it before entering the theater. Maybe besides the head, there were also the eyes of the woman in the painting. It also attracts the attention of others.
She turned her head and looked around again. When the night lights came on, people were still entering the arena intermittently, but Ye Xiao hadn't come yet.The performance in the theater was about to start, and Bai Bi continued to wait at the door until she saw Ye Xiao hurrying across the road.
"I'm sorry, I got off work too late today, I'm late." Ye Xiao panted slightly.
"Have you been this busy?"
"Yes, I've been like this since I took over Jiang He's case. Come on, let's go in." Ye Xiao said as he walked in, but he suddenly saw the poster pasted at the door, and he stopped to look at it. Look, the brow gradually twisted up.
Bai Bi said softly beside him: "What do you think of this painting?"
"It was like a nightmare."
"What did you say?"
"I mean, when I saw this painting, I felt like I saw a nightmare." Ye Xiao's expression flickered.
"why?"
"No reason, because I had this dream." Ye Xiao fixed his eyes on her, and said softly, "I think the head held by the woman in the painting is me."
Bai Bi was startled, not knowing how to answer.
Ye Xiao continued: "Perhaps, the person who drew this painting is also a person who often has nightmares."
"This person is me." Bai Bi said lightly, "I drew this painting. Go, don't stay here, the inside has already started."
Ye Xiao was startled, and just about to explain a few words for his slip of the tongue, he saw Bai Bi walking into the theater, and he could only follow her in.
It was already dark in the theater, and sure enough, the performance had already started on the stage. The background of the stage looked like a desolate valley and mountains full of tombs. It was eerie. Bai Bi guessed that the stage and scenery of the troupe probably liked to read Stephen King's novels.The young King Loulan is asking and answering himself in an almost monologue.She didn't pay attention to the performance on the stage, she just searched for her own position in the dark, she found it quickly, and pulled Ye Xiao to the seat next to her.Although the two of them are not together, because there are many vacant seats in the theater, there are hardly many audiences who really take their seats.Ye Xiao raised his head and looked around the auditorium in the darkness. Although there were not many people, at least it was better than he imagined. He was always worried that when Luo Zhou's first play was performed in public, the actors would If there are more people than watching the show, this will be troublesome.But it’s okay now, nearly half of the 600 people are seated, which is already very good, maybe because Luo Zhou’s troupe has put a lot of effort into publicity, and made the advertisement to attract some from the Drama Academy. The student audience may also be because of the performance poster painted by Bai Bi.
Soon, the second act began. Such frequent scene changes with short intervals were so rare that some drama students sitting in the audience thought it was an experimental avant-garde play.In the second act, Bai Bi met Xiao Se. Compared with the rehearsals she saw in the previous two times, Xiao Se seems to be in good condition today. She acted very devotedly and realistically, without the pretentious feeling of the past.Bai Bi suddenly remembered the conversation she had with Xiao Se in the bar last time. She felt a little regretful at this moment, knowing that she was too impulsive to walk away that night, which might have hurt her best friend.She shouldn't just leave, Xiao Se needs her, she should stay with Xiao Se, moreover, Xiao Se can't be allowed to drink so much wine.Xiao Se is actually very pitiful, and he is also immersed in fear and sorrow. At this time, what he needs most is the love of a good friend. Maybe this can overcome all fears.Even though what Xiao Se said is true, the matter has already happened and is over, Jiang He has been turned into ashes and buried in the ground, there is actually no obstacle between her and Xiao Se, there is no need for someone who is already dead The man who hurts their friendship, though, she loves that man.
Thinking of this, Bai Bi's body suddenly trembled, and she quietly looked at Ye Xiao beside her. On the dark seat, everyone's faces were in the shadows, and only the outline of their faces could be seen clearly.And at this moment, the facial features of the man next to her were so familiar and kind in her eyes, that she suddenly felt that the person sitting next to her was Jiang He himself.She imagined that she was watching a play with her fiancé, no, not her fiancé, but her groom, because she suddenly remembered that today——is the day when Bai Bi and Jiang He were supposed to hold their wedding.Just today, she should put on a white wedding dress, and drink a cup of wine with Jiang He amidst the blessings of her friends.She should be happy, originally today, she should be the happiest woman in the world, praised by others, envied by others, even envied by others.In the end, her bridegroom should take her into their room, close the doors and windows, and do everything they can in their own world.As a result, her face flushed a little, and she even had the urge to reach out and touch the familiar face of the man beside her.However, all these feelings can only last for a moment, Bai Bi immediately returned to this world, she knew that her groom was dead and turned into a pile of ashes.Today, however, was just an ordinary day. She was not a bride, nor was she the happiest woman in the world. The person sitting next to her was, after all, a police officer in charge of investigating the death of her fiancé.Bai Bi's shoulders trembled slightly again, but Ye Xiao didn't notice any changes in her around her. She shook her head, trying to forget all the thoughts in her mind just now, and then looked at the scene on the stage with concentration. play.
At this time on the stage, Lan Yue appeared.She still covered her face, revealing a pair of seductive big eyes, those eyes seemed to stare into the distance, and seemed to scan everyone in the audience, which undoubtedly shocked all the audience.Bai Bi noticed that before Lanyue came on stage, some of the audience around were chatting in low voices, and some were girls from the drama school eating all kinds of snacks.And when Lanyue appeared on the stage, the audience immediately became silent, and the girls stopped eating snacks endlessly. Everyone focused on the stage, listening to the music and lines on the stage, but more importantly What is the eyes of the blue moon.Finally, Lan Yue read her first line slowly: "The prince fell in love with the princess, not me." That voice did have some kind of magical power, even though it was only a short sentence, it made Bai Bai Bi felt that this sentence was more than a thousand words.Then, the stage fell into darkness, the blue moon disappeared, and the shortest act of the whole play, the second act, ended.
Next, is the lengthy third, fourth, and fifth acts.Bai Bi felt that although the play was ingeniously conceived, the rhythm of the narration seemed a bit slow, which did not meet the viewing needs of modern people. However, the atmosphere of fear revealed all the time in the play was still attractive.Especially the music, which uses a lot of suggestive melodies and rhythms, some of which are played by ancient musical instruments, and there are solo or group accompaniments from the stereo from time to time. The director must have taken great pains for this, but the effect is like Musicals, perhaps it would be better for such plays to be arranged as operas.
In the sixth act, Xiao Se plays again. This is Princess Loulan's wedding night.The princess finally found out that Prince Khotan did not love her, so she was very painful. Xiao Se performed well, and Bai Bi could even realize that when the princess was crying bitterly, she was not acting or acting, but was really crying.She has been with Xiao Se for so long, and she knows what Xiao Se looks like when he really cries, which no one can pretend.She watched Xiao Se on the stage bursting into tears, and that sad look made everyone feel sympathetic.Suddenly she felt that Xiao Se was a little abnormal. The princess's sadness on the stage had exceeded Bai Bi's imagination. Maybe Xiao Se was too involved in the drama, so that she thought she was Princess Loulan.
The seventh act is the play between Lan Yue and the prince, which is still full of tragedy.The eighth act is obviously a bit like Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Because the prince mistakenly thought Lanna was dead, he committed suicide in the valley of the grave.
In the ninth act, Lan Yue and Xiao Se finally got together on the stage.The background of the stage made Baibi creepy. There were hideous gods painted on the background. Some of these gods trampled people under their feet, some ate people into their mouths, and some tore people in half. Some relation to Hindu gods.At the beginning, Lan Yue knelt in the center of the stage, wearing a tattered white dress and hair, like a female prisoner's attire.The princess played by Xiao Se stared at her with hatred, Xiao Se asked Lan Yue loudly: "Lanna, you are just a lowly slave girl, what right do you have to fall in love with the prince of Khotan?"
Lanyue seemed to respect the princess very much, and said in a begging tone: "Princess, please forgive my sins."
"No, I hate you, and I hate the prince." Xiao Se's tone was full of hatred.
"Dear princess, Lanna is just a lowly person. She has never expected to get a prince. As long as the princess treats him kindly, don't make things difficult for him and make him happy." Lan Yue paused, her expression full of contradictions and pain, Then, she said aloud, "For his happiness, Lanna is willing to leave the Prince forever."
Xiao Se shook his head: "No, no, no, you have left him forever, I want to kill you, it's easy. Now I ask you to swear in front of the gods of Loulan that you will never love the prince."
Then, the lights on the stage dimmed and flickered, as if entering another world. The music sounded like chanting scriptures, but the speed of speech was very fast, far exceeding that in ordinary temples. The sound of chanting scriptures, no one can understand what the sound in the music means.A few dancers entered the stage, and under several beams of light, Bai Bi saw that they were all dressed in the costumes of people from the ancient Western Regions, with leather caps and feathers on their heads, and they were waving some strange things in their hands.They stretched their limbs, danced in the rhythm of the music, and surrounded the blue moon in the center of the stage.Bai Bi felt that although the performances on the stage were a bit symbolic, she could still tell that the dancers represented wizards, and that the performance on the stage was the ritual of worshiping the gods of ancient Loulan.As the wizards danced, the princess on the side narrated loudly-swear, swear.
Lan Yue stood up suddenly, and under the guidance of the wizards, she also danced with them.Her movements are very graceful, her limbs are stretched out, like a white crane.Bai Bi marveled at the beauty of Lanyue's dance, and she guessed that Lanyue might have studied dancing in the past.But this is not an ordinary dance. It is obviously abstract and symbolic. The wizards around and her in the center cooperate quite tacitly. It seems that they are communicating with each other while dancing. Simulate a dialogue with God?Wizards represent gods, while blue moons represent people, and humans and gods communicate through body language.While dancing, Lanyue's expression became more and more painful. The wizards around her seemed to be urging her to do something, perhaps forcing her to swear in the name of God.Suddenly, several wizards surrounded Lanyue tighter and tighter, until they grabbed her limbs and made her curl up.But Lanyue pushed all the wizards away with a sudden force. At this time, the music stopped abruptly, and the wizards retreated from the stage one after another, leaving only her and Xiao Se.
The lights converged on Lanyue's face again, she raised her head and said solemnly: "God, what do you want me to swear? Do you want to know my sincerity, or do you want to hear my lies? Forgive me, I can't break my oath, because I know that if I swear to never love the prince again, then every moment, every minute, every second, I will betray my oath, right in my heart. Can I break my oath? No, I can't. Therefore, I am willing to die, but I must love the prince."
The light immediately hit Xiao Se's face again, the princess looked disappointed, and then became furious again, she made a gesture, a warrior came to the stage, holding a box in his hand, and put the box on Lan Yue's body Before, then the samurai went off.
The princess said coldly: "Since you can't help but love him, then you two should be together forever."
Lan Yue looked a little puzzled, and then opened the box.In an instant, her expression changed, as if she had received a huge blow, she trembled all over, and her complexion became pale. Then, she cast her eyes full of hatred on the princess.
"The prince committed suicide. I just ordered someone to take his head and give it to you." The princess said in a victorious gesture.
Lanyue didn't answer, she put her hand into the box, and then took out a human head from the box.
The entire audience was in an uproar immediately, and even Bai Bi's heart trembled suddenly, even though she knew that the head was made of plastic.But the fake human head was indeed made lifelike, and it was painted with red potion. From a distance, it really looked like a human head dripping with blood.
Lan Yue hugged the human head in her arms and stared straight ahead. At this moment, in Bai Bi's eyes, the appearance of Lan Yue in white clothes on the stage was exactly the same as that of the woman on the poster.The same blurred eyes, the same bare and wild arms, and more importantly, the man's head held in both hands.Is this just a coincidence?Bai Bi asked herself in her heart.She seems to have seen the woman in the poster come out of the painting, holding the head of her lover, walking into the gate of the theater, passing through the dark passage, walking through the middle of the auditorium, and now, in the center of the stage.Yes, she is alive, and the characters in each painting are alive, Bai Bi began to believe in this.
Lanyue raised her lover's head high, put it on her lips, kissed it lightly, and then gently put it into her arms, which made her lips turn blood red, as if she had just drunk blood , apparently she rubbed the red lotion on the dummy's head on her mouth.
Then, she raised her head again, not knowing where to look, and finally, she began to speak loudly: "Muyao, the guardian of Loulan who is in charge of the life and death of all things in the world, have you seen it? Have you seen it? You protect Your people are so cruel, and the city you guard is so ruthless, Loulan, what qualifications do you have to exist in this world? Almighty God Muyiao, have you heard my call? I have put you from Wake up from deep sleep, please listen to my curse on Loulan——Loulan, will disappear from this world. Remember, this is an eternal curse, and Loulan will be under my curse forever."
Lan Yue’s voice spread throughout the theater, and someone turned up the volume of the theater’s audio to the maximum, so that everyone was frightened by this deafening curse, and several little girls from the opera school almost cried out of fright Out.Even Bai Bi felt that her ears and heart couldn't bear the sound, and these curse words seemed to penetrate deep into her heart, which would never be erased.
Then, Lanyue looked at the princess again, and stretched out a hand to point at the princess. With her lover's blood-stained lips, Lanyue said: "Muyao—Muyao—Muyao—— I call your name and curse this woman. Muyeo—Muyeo—Muyeo—"
Then, Lanyue suddenly laughed loudly, and this laughter once again shook the entire theater through the sound, making everyone's hair stand on end.Bai Bi thought to himself that the sound engineer in charge of the performance must be crazy, is he trying to scare away the audience?
Then, Lanyue took out a knife from her bosom, first she stroked her lover's head with a smile, and then calmly inserted the knife into her chest.The blood that was used as a prop immediately flowed out from her chest, staining her white clothes all over.She smiled and looked ahead, and after trembling a few times, she fell to the ground with an almost graceful movement.
Just when the audience sighed for Lanna's death in the plot.The princess also fell to the ground suddenly, motionless, and everyone thought that the princess also fainted from fright.However, after both of them fell down, the stage fell silent, and only two women and a man's head were seen lying on the ground. Just like that, several minutes passed.The sudden silence caught the audiences by surprise. They thought they had reached the climax of the whole play, and they were engrossed in anticipating the ending, but they stopped. Could it be that the whole play is over?There was some noise in the auditorium, some people started to leave, and some people started to make noise.
Bai Bi felt a deep uneasiness, she always felt that the sudden collapse of the princess played by Xiao Se was a bit strange, and she faintly felt that such a plot should not exist in the plot.She stood up from her seat with concern and looked at the two motionless women on the stage.
At this time, a young man in modern clothes suddenly appeared on the stage. It turned out to be the director Luo Zhou. Everyone in the audience felt strange, and some people started booing.Luo Zhou rushed to the stage and touched Xiao Se. He seemed to be startled, and then felt Xiao Se's pulse with his hand. A few seconds later, he fell to the ground in panic.At this moment, Ye Xiao suddenly stood up from Bai Bi, and he shouted: "Something must have happened, give way, I'm a police officer." He squeezed out of his seat, ran all the way, and climbed onto the stage. He grabbed Luo Zhou's hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
Luo Zhou seemed to be terrified. He looked at Ye Xiao with terrified eyes. He didn't know how to answer. He just pointed at Xiao Se on the ground and said, "She...she...is dead."
While Ye Xiao on the stage was busy feeling Xiao Se's pulse, Bai Bi in the audience saw Lan Yue standing up from the ground suddenly behind Luo Zhou and Ye Xiao.Lanyue left the prop human head on the ground. The "blood" on her body had run out, her whole body was blood red, and even her face was stained with blood, as if she had just killed someone.Her face was pale, and she looked at Luo Zhou and Ye Xiao expressionlessly from behind, as well as Xiao Se who was lying on the ground. Luo Zhou, who was overly frightened, and Ye Xiao, who was busy examining Xiao Se's body, didn't notice that Lan Yue had passed away. stood up.Bai Bi looked at Lan Yue on the stage from her seat, and suddenly felt extremely terrified in her heart. There seemed to be a special expression on the corner of Lan Yue's mouth. She turned around and faced the audience again. Bai Bi felt that she seemed to be looking at him. Yes, she was looking at herself, and Lan Yue's eyes passed through dozens of rows of seats and pointed directly at Bai Bi's eyes.Then, Lan Yue left the stage slowly, retreated into the backstage from the other end, and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
But Ye Xiao on the stage felt that there seemed to be something moving behind him, and when he turned around, he found that Lan Yue, who was lying on the stage, was no longer there.And Xiao Se, who was lying beside him, the girl wearing the costume of Princess Loulan, had literally stopped her heartbeat.
Xiao Se died.
Ye Xiao was a little dazed, he shook his head and stood up, ignoring to help Luo Zhou who was still trembling on the stage.He turned his gaze to Bai Bi who was under the stage, and with his heavy gaze, told Bai Bi of Xiao Se's death.
Bai Bi sat heavily on the seat again, lowered his head, and sobbed almost in despair.
On the stage, the head of the prop was still rolling slowly.

"Ye Xiao, help me." Luo Zhou said nervously, he stared into Ye Xiao's eyes, as if he was afraid that Ye Xiao would suddenly disappear from his eyes without a trace.The room was very stuffy, filled with an unpleasant smell, he hadn't gone out for a whole day, and all the doors and windows were closed tightly, from morning to now, all three meals were frozen food.So much so that his complexion was even more ugly, and his messy hair smelled like he had just come out of a garbage dump.
"Don't be afraid." Ye Xiao comforted him.
Luo Zhou stood up anyway, circling anxiously in the room, saying as he turned, "It has been more than 20 hours since the accident, and there is still no news about Lan Yue. God knows where she is."
"At that time, I only paid attention to Xiao Se who was lying on the ground. I kept feeling her pulse and gave her artificial respiration, hoping to save her. I didn't notice the blue moon behind. At that time, the audience in the audience said that the blue moon Standing up by herself calmly, she looked at us from behind with an almost expressionless face, and walked backstage calmly. Some viewers said that Lanyue looked very weird at the time, and they guessed that Lanyue seemed to be still immersed in the plot Among them, there is no drama yet, so there seems to be no sympathy or concern for Xiao Se's death in the clothes of Princess Loulan."
"Blue Moon is still in the play? Who knows? We have rehearsed this scene many times. Before the performance, everything was normal, and there was never any accident." Luo Zhou continued to walk around the room.
Ye Xiao watched Luo Zhou turn around in front of him, feeling a little dizzy, he stopped Luo Zhou: "Stop turning, sit down, Luo Zhou, you are too nervous, there is no need for this. Xiao Se's autopsy report has come out, and the cause of death has not yet been determined, but there are no internal and external injuries on her body, and there are no signs of poisoning. It is hard to say that she was murdered, and it may be just an accident. You know, there are many people in the world who died because of unknown Sudden death due to a certain disease, or some kind of congenital gene." He tried his best to comfort Luo Zhou, even though he couldn't understand it.
Luo Zhou finally sat down, and he said anxiously: "I am very scared now, afraid that Lanyue will suddenly appear in front of me, just like she suddenly disappeared. The people in the backstage said last night that they saw her from the stage. I went up and down, thinking that the performance was normal and the curtain was over, so I didn’t bother her, and let her go to the dressing room by herself. By the time we thought of her, there was no one in the dressing room, and no one saw where she was. Maybe she didn't go into the dressing room at all, but just walked out the back door of the theater."
"Then do you think Xiao Se's death is related to Lan Yue?"
"The devil knows." Luo Zhou sighed, "I'm sorry, I don't want to think about it, although according to the script, what Lan Yue performed on the stage is correct, and her performance is indeed very good. And Xiao Se The acting is also good, at least much better than I originally imagined, but Princess Loulan did not die on the spot in the plot, she survived until Loulan was really destroyed due to lack of water, and she was forced to leave her home and come to The truth will be revealed in the Valley of the Tombs.”
"What truth?"
"Princess and Lanna are actually twin sisters."
"Then we should find two actors who look alike."
"No, in the plot, they just look different. In real life, there are many twins who don't look alike. And there are also two people who look alike, but they have no blood relationship with each other."
Ye Xiao was startled suddenly, he thought of Jiang He and himself, isn't it the second situation that Luo Zhou mentioned?He didn't want to think too much, and said lightly: "Indeed, judging from the plot on the stage at that time, it was Lanna who cursed the princess. The princess died on the spot due to her curse. What Muyi did Lan Yue read at the time?" Oh, what do you mean?"
"Well, that's the name of the patron saint in charge of life and death in ancient Loulan. It is said that as long as Mu Yi'ao's name is heard, the cursed will be doomed."
"Who told you this?"
"It's Lanyue, she said she checked it from the library?"
Ye Xiao asked a little strangely: "Is she also involved in the script?"
Luo Zhou lowered his head and said with some shame: "I can only tell you the truth. The idea of this script actually came from Lanyue. It was Lanyue who compiled the framework of the whole story. Got her plan. Do you know? She is a very smart woman, very smart, I must admit that her IQ is actually much higher than mine. "
"Did she say anything about her past?"
"Never, I'm not interested in other people's past and privacy."
Ye Xiao sighed, shook his head and said, "I don't know her past, and I don't know where she's going. Does she really look like a ghost?"
"Don't, don't say it, I can't stand it." Luo Zhou's expression was particularly painful.
Ye Xiao looked at Luo Zhou's terrified expression, but he had to speak out what was in his heart: "Luo Zhou, last time I came to look for you, I saw Lan Yue."
Luo Zhou shook his head and said: "Enough, she said, I will regret it, now, I really regret it. Ye Xiao, please believe me, I am innocent, you don't think I have anything to do with her , just think that she and I are in the same group. In fact, I only have one night with her, that's all, there is no more relationship, this is completely an accident, believe me."
"Luo Zhou, first of all, I didn't say that Lan Yue must have something to do with Xiao Se's death, even though we have obtained evidence that Xiao Se and Lan Yue had conflicts over their roles before they were alive, but they didn't quarrel directly, Lan Yue I have always given way to Xiao Se. It is very likely that Lan Yue was frightened after seeing Xiao Se's death, and did not dare to stay in your troupe anymore, and left you far away. Secondly, even if Lan Yue is related to Xiao Se's death , It doesn’t mean that you are also involved in this matter, the only certain relationship at present is that you are the director and screenwriter of this scene, second only. Do you know? You don’t have to worry.”
"I hope so."
Ye Xiao remembered something again: "Luo Zhou, did anything special happen before or during the performance?"
"Something special? It doesn't seem to be there."
"Then when Lan Yue said those few words at the end, the volume in the theater suddenly became astonishingly loud, frightening everyone present. What's going on? Did you arrange it on purpose when you were writing and directing?" Ye It seemed that the deafening blue moon's curse sounded in Xiao's ears again, especially those few words - Mu Yi'ao.
"No, no, the volume should be normal, it shouldn't be so loud. Later I asked the sound engineer, and he said that the machine that controlled the sound suddenly failed, and it couldn't be adjusted no matter what, the volume automatically jumped to the lowest level all of a sudden. It’s high-end, and there’s no way to control it. However, it’s strange to say that after the end, he re-adjusted the machine, and everything returned to normal.
"It's really inexplicable." Ye Xiao also said to himself.
"Ye Xiao, I'm done, I'm done. The investors of the troupe called me today and told me that the troupe has officially disbanded, and they will never trust me again. They didn't doubt my ability, because they said on the phone The effect of the performance was really good. They disbanded the troupe because they were afraid of being affected by our bad luck. To be honest, it is a very unlucky thing to say that someone died in public during the first public performance. Scared. From now on, I can no longer gain a foothold in this circle, and I have already been sentenced to death by them. Fate...fate is really unfair." Luo Zhou lamented endlessly.
Ye Xiao listened to Luo Zhou's words. He had listened to them countless times today. He could only shake his head and look at his watch. It was already late at night. He stood up and said, "Luo Zhou, I can't be with you all the time. Looking at you, I still have to handle my case, so you can do it yourself, open the window, let the air in, don't be afraid, otherwise you will be suffocated to death by yourself."
"Thank you, Ye Xiao." He finally calmed down a bit.
"Okay, I'm leaving, goodbye." Ye Xiao left here, and walked into the elevator in the middle of the night alone.
Luo Zhou was left in the room again, he walked slowly to the window, looking at the night outside the window, his hands were trembling, he was hesitating whether to open the window.He finally opened the window, and a gust of autumn wind rushed in, icy cold to the bone.
(End of this chapter)
It was getting dark and the lights were on, and a few people began to walk into the theater.Bai Bi was still wearing black clothes, looking at the poster of "Soul of Lou Lan" pasted at the entrance of the theater, which was drawn by her.She felt that the best time to appreciate this painting was when night fell. The green light at the entrance of the theater just illuminated the poster, and the brightness was moderate. If it was too bright, the atmosphere would be lost.
The eyes of the woman in the picture are looking straight ahead, and that kind of gaze gives the whole picture a three-dimensional sense, just like the woman is going to walk from the painting to the road with her lover's head in her arms. Also took a few steps back.It was only now that Bai Bi began to feel a little surprised. She couldn't believe that such a painting came from her own handwriting, and she even doubted whether she could draw such a painting.At least she was sure that if she was asked to draw the same painting again now, she would never be able to draw it.In particular, the bloody head in the painting appeared so conspicuously at the entrance of the theater on the side of the road that many passers-by had to look at it for no reason.Bai Bi stood at the door and watched people's expressions after seeing the painting. Almost everyone stopped to look at it before entering the theater. Maybe besides the head, there were also the eyes of the woman in the painting. It also attracts the attention of others.
She turned her head and looked around again. When the night lights came on, people were still entering the arena intermittently, but Ye Xiao hadn't come yet.The performance in the theater was about to start, and Bai Bi continued to wait at the door until she saw Ye Xiao hurrying across the road.
"I'm sorry, I got off work too late today, I'm late." Ye Xiao panted slightly.
"Have you been this busy?"
"Yes, I've been like this since I took over Jiang He's case. Come on, let's go in." Ye Xiao said as he walked in, but he suddenly saw the poster pasted at the door, and he stopped to look at it. Look, the brow gradually twisted up.
Bai Bi said softly beside him: "What do you think of this painting?"
"It was like a nightmare."
"What did you say?"
"I mean, when I saw this painting, I felt like I saw a nightmare." Ye Xiao's expression flickered.
"why?"
"No reason, because I had this dream." Ye Xiao fixed his eyes on her, and said softly, "I think the head held by the woman in the painting is me."
Bai Bi was startled, not knowing how to answer.
Ye Xiao continued: "Perhaps, the person who drew this painting is also a person who often has nightmares."
"This person is me." Bai Bi said lightly, "I drew this painting. Go, don't stay here, the inside has already started."
Ye Xiao was startled, and just about to explain a few words for his slip of the tongue, he saw Bai Bi walking into the theater, and he could only follow her in.
It was already dark in the theater, and sure enough, the performance had already started on the stage. The background of the stage looked like a desolate valley and mountains full of tombs. It was eerie. Bai Bi guessed that the stage and scenery of the troupe probably liked to read Stephen King's novels.The young King Loulan is asking and answering himself in an almost monologue.She didn't pay attention to the performance on the stage, she just searched for her own position in the dark, she found it quickly, and pulled Ye Xiao to the seat next to her.Although the two of them are not together, because there are many vacant seats in the theater, there are hardly many audiences who really take their seats.Ye Xiao raised his head and looked around the auditorium in the darkness. Although there were not many people, at least it was better than he imagined. He was always worried that when Luo Zhou's first play was performed in public, the actors would If there are more people than watching the show, this will be troublesome.But it’s okay now, nearly half of the 600 people are seated, which is already very good, maybe because Luo Zhou’s troupe has put a lot of effort into publicity, and made the advertisement to attract some from the Drama Academy. The student audience may also be because of the performance poster painted by Bai Bi.
Soon, the second act began. Such frequent scene changes with short intervals were so rare that some drama students sitting in the audience thought it was an experimental avant-garde play.In the second act, Bai Bi met Xiao Se. Compared with the rehearsals she saw in the previous two times, Xiao Se seems to be in good condition today. She acted very devotedly and realistically, without the pretentious feeling of the past.Bai Bi suddenly remembered the conversation she had with Xiao Se in the bar last time. She felt a little regretful at this moment, knowing that she was too impulsive to walk away that night, which might have hurt her best friend.She shouldn't just leave, Xiao Se needs her, she should stay with Xiao Se, moreover, Xiao Se can't be allowed to drink so much wine.Xiao Se is actually very pitiful, and he is also immersed in fear and sorrow. At this time, what he needs most is the love of a good friend. Maybe this can overcome all fears.Even though what Xiao Se said is true, the matter has already happened and is over, Jiang He has been turned into ashes and buried in the ground, there is actually no obstacle between her and Xiao Se, there is no need for someone who is already dead The man who hurts their friendship, though, she loves that man.
Thinking of this, Bai Bi's body suddenly trembled, and she quietly looked at Ye Xiao beside her. On the dark seat, everyone's faces were in the shadows, and only the outline of their faces could be seen clearly.And at this moment, the facial features of the man next to her were so familiar and kind in her eyes, that she suddenly felt that the person sitting next to her was Jiang He himself.She imagined that she was watching a play with her fiancé, no, not her fiancé, but her groom, because she suddenly remembered that today——is the day when Bai Bi and Jiang He were supposed to hold their wedding.Just today, she should put on a white wedding dress, and drink a cup of wine with Jiang He amidst the blessings of her friends.She should be happy, originally today, she should be the happiest woman in the world, praised by others, envied by others, even envied by others.In the end, her bridegroom should take her into their room, close the doors and windows, and do everything they can in their own world.As a result, her face flushed a little, and she even had the urge to reach out and touch the familiar face of the man beside her.However, all these feelings can only last for a moment, Bai Bi immediately returned to this world, she knew that her groom was dead and turned into a pile of ashes.Today, however, was just an ordinary day. She was not a bride, nor was she the happiest woman in the world. The person sitting next to her was, after all, a police officer in charge of investigating the death of her fiancé.Bai Bi's shoulders trembled slightly again, but Ye Xiao didn't notice any changes in her around her. She shook her head, trying to forget all the thoughts in her mind just now, and then looked at the scene on the stage with concentration. play.
At this time on the stage, Lan Yue appeared.She still covered her face, revealing a pair of seductive big eyes, those eyes seemed to stare into the distance, and seemed to scan everyone in the audience, which undoubtedly shocked all the audience.Bai Bi noticed that before Lanyue came on stage, some of the audience around were chatting in low voices, and some were girls from the drama school eating all kinds of snacks.And when Lanyue appeared on the stage, the audience immediately became silent, and the girls stopped eating snacks endlessly. Everyone focused on the stage, listening to the music and lines on the stage, but more importantly What is the eyes of the blue moon.Finally, Lan Yue read her first line slowly: "The prince fell in love with the princess, not me." That voice did have some kind of magical power, even though it was only a short sentence, it made Bai Bai Bi felt that this sentence was more than a thousand words.Then, the stage fell into darkness, the blue moon disappeared, and the shortest act of the whole play, the second act, ended.
Next, is the lengthy third, fourth, and fifth acts.Bai Bi felt that although the play was ingeniously conceived, the rhythm of the narration seemed a bit slow, which did not meet the viewing needs of modern people. However, the atmosphere of fear revealed all the time in the play was still attractive.Especially the music, which uses a lot of suggestive melodies and rhythms, some of which are played by ancient musical instruments, and there are solo or group accompaniments from the stereo from time to time. The director must have taken great pains for this, but the effect is like Musicals, perhaps it would be better for such plays to be arranged as operas.
In the sixth act, Xiao Se plays again. This is Princess Loulan's wedding night.The princess finally found out that Prince Khotan did not love her, so she was very painful. Xiao Se performed well, and Bai Bi could even realize that when the princess was crying bitterly, she was not acting or acting, but was really crying.She has been with Xiao Se for so long, and she knows what Xiao Se looks like when he really cries, which no one can pretend.She watched Xiao Se on the stage bursting into tears, and that sad look made everyone feel sympathetic.Suddenly she felt that Xiao Se was a little abnormal. The princess's sadness on the stage had exceeded Bai Bi's imagination. Maybe Xiao Se was too involved in the drama, so that she thought she was Princess Loulan.
The seventh act is the play between Lan Yue and the prince, which is still full of tragedy.The eighth act is obviously a bit like Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Because the prince mistakenly thought Lanna was dead, he committed suicide in the valley of the grave.
In the ninth act, Lan Yue and Xiao Se finally got together on the stage.The background of the stage made Baibi creepy. There were hideous gods painted on the background. Some of these gods trampled people under their feet, some ate people into their mouths, and some tore people in half. Some relation to Hindu gods.At the beginning, Lan Yue knelt in the center of the stage, wearing a tattered white dress and hair, like a female prisoner's attire.The princess played by Xiao Se stared at her with hatred, Xiao Se asked Lan Yue loudly: "Lanna, you are just a lowly slave girl, what right do you have to fall in love with the prince of Khotan?"
Lanyue seemed to respect the princess very much, and said in a begging tone: "Princess, please forgive my sins."
"No, I hate you, and I hate the prince." Xiao Se's tone was full of hatred.
"Dear princess, Lanna is just a lowly person. She has never expected to get a prince. As long as the princess treats him kindly, don't make things difficult for him and make him happy." Lan Yue paused, her expression full of contradictions and pain, Then, she said aloud, "For his happiness, Lanna is willing to leave the Prince forever."
Xiao Se shook his head: "No, no, no, you have left him forever, I want to kill you, it's easy. Now I ask you to swear in front of the gods of Loulan that you will never love the prince."
Then, the lights on the stage dimmed and flickered, as if entering another world. The music sounded like chanting scriptures, but the speed of speech was very fast, far exceeding that in ordinary temples. The sound of chanting scriptures, no one can understand what the sound in the music means.A few dancers entered the stage, and under several beams of light, Bai Bi saw that they were all dressed in the costumes of people from the ancient Western Regions, with leather caps and feathers on their heads, and they were waving some strange things in their hands.They stretched their limbs, danced in the rhythm of the music, and surrounded the blue moon in the center of the stage.Bai Bi felt that although the performances on the stage were a bit symbolic, she could still tell that the dancers represented wizards, and that the performance on the stage was the ritual of worshiping the gods of ancient Loulan.As the wizards danced, the princess on the side narrated loudly-swear, swear.
Lan Yue stood up suddenly, and under the guidance of the wizards, she also danced with them.Her movements are very graceful, her limbs are stretched out, like a white crane.Bai Bi marveled at the beauty of Lanyue's dance, and she guessed that Lanyue might have studied dancing in the past.But this is not an ordinary dance. It is obviously abstract and symbolic. The wizards around and her in the center cooperate quite tacitly. It seems that they are communicating with each other while dancing. Simulate a dialogue with God?Wizards represent gods, while blue moons represent people, and humans and gods communicate through body language.While dancing, Lanyue's expression became more and more painful. The wizards around her seemed to be urging her to do something, perhaps forcing her to swear in the name of God.Suddenly, several wizards surrounded Lanyue tighter and tighter, until they grabbed her limbs and made her curl up.But Lanyue pushed all the wizards away with a sudden force. At this time, the music stopped abruptly, and the wizards retreated from the stage one after another, leaving only her and Xiao Se.
The lights converged on Lanyue's face again, she raised her head and said solemnly: "God, what do you want me to swear? Do you want to know my sincerity, or do you want to hear my lies? Forgive me, I can't break my oath, because I know that if I swear to never love the prince again, then every moment, every minute, every second, I will betray my oath, right in my heart. Can I break my oath? No, I can't. Therefore, I am willing to die, but I must love the prince."
The light immediately hit Xiao Se's face again, the princess looked disappointed, and then became furious again, she made a gesture, a warrior came to the stage, holding a box in his hand, and put the box on Lan Yue's body Before, then the samurai went off.
The princess said coldly: "Since you can't help but love him, then you two should be together forever."
Lan Yue looked a little puzzled, and then opened the box.In an instant, her expression changed, as if she had received a huge blow, she trembled all over, and her complexion became pale. Then, she cast her eyes full of hatred on the princess.
"The prince committed suicide. I just ordered someone to take his head and give it to you." The princess said in a victorious gesture.
Lanyue didn't answer, she put her hand into the box, and then took out a human head from the box.
The entire audience was in an uproar immediately, and even Bai Bi's heart trembled suddenly, even though she knew that the head was made of plastic.But the fake human head was indeed made lifelike, and it was painted with red potion. From a distance, it really looked like a human head dripping with blood.
Lan Yue hugged the human head in her arms and stared straight ahead. At this moment, in Bai Bi's eyes, the appearance of Lan Yue in white clothes on the stage was exactly the same as that of the woman on the poster.The same blurred eyes, the same bare and wild arms, and more importantly, the man's head held in both hands.Is this just a coincidence?Bai Bi asked herself in her heart.She seems to have seen the woman in the poster come out of the painting, holding the head of her lover, walking into the gate of the theater, passing through the dark passage, walking through the middle of the auditorium, and now, in the center of the stage.Yes, she is alive, and the characters in each painting are alive, Bai Bi began to believe in this.
Lanyue raised her lover's head high, put it on her lips, kissed it lightly, and then gently put it into her arms, which made her lips turn blood red, as if she had just drunk blood , apparently she rubbed the red lotion on the dummy's head on her mouth.
Then, she raised her head again, not knowing where to look, and finally, she began to speak loudly: "Muyao, the guardian of Loulan who is in charge of the life and death of all things in the world, have you seen it? Have you seen it? You protect Your people are so cruel, and the city you guard is so ruthless, Loulan, what qualifications do you have to exist in this world? Almighty God Muyiao, have you heard my call? I have put you from Wake up from deep sleep, please listen to my curse on Loulan——Loulan, will disappear from this world. Remember, this is an eternal curse, and Loulan will be under my curse forever."
Lan Yue’s voice spread throughout the theater, and someone turned up the volume of the theater’s audio to the maximum, so that everyone was frightened by this deafening curse, and several little girls from the opera school almost cried out of fright Out.Even Bai Bi felt that her ears and heart couldn't bear the sound, and these curse words seemed to penetrate deep into her heart, which would never be erased.
Then, Lanyue looked at the princess again, and stretched out a hand to point at the princess. With her lover's blood-stained lips, Lanyue said: "Muyao—Muyao—Muyao—— I call your name and curse this woman. Muyeo—Muyeo—Muyeo—"
Then, Lanyue suddenly laughed loudly, and this laughter once again shook the entire theater through the sound, making everyone's hair stand on end.Bai Bi thought to himself that the sound engineer in charge of the performance must be crazy, is he trying to scare away the audience?
Then, Lanyue took out a knife from her bosom, first she stroked her lover's head with a smile, and then calmly inserted the knife into her chest.The blood that was used as a prop immediately flowed out from her chest, staining her white clothes all over.She smiled and looked ahead, and after trembling a few times, she fell to the ground with an almost graceful movement.
Just when the audience sighed for Lanna's death in the plot.The princess also fell to the ground suddenly, motionless, and everyone thought that the princess also fainted from fright.However, after both of them fell down, the stage fell silent, and only two women and a man's head were seen lying on the ground. Just like that, several minutes passed.The sudden silence caught the audiences by surprise. They thought they had reached the climax of the whole play, and they were engrossed in anticipating the ending, but they stopped. Could it be that the whole play is over?There was some noise in the auditorium, some people started to leave, and some people started to make noise.
Bai Bi felt a deep uneasiness, she always felt that the sudden collapse of the princess played by Xiao Se was a bit strange, and she faintly felt that such a plot should not exist in the plot.She stood up from her seat with concern and looked at the two motionless women on the stage.
At this time, a young man in modern clothes suddenly appeared on the stage. It turned out to be the director Luo Zhou. Everyone in the audience felt strange, and some people started booing.Luo Zhou rushed to the stage and touched Xiao Se. He seemed to be startled, and then felt Xiao Se's pulse with his hand. A few seconds later, he fell to the ground in panic.At this moment, Ye Xiao suddenly stood up from Bai Bi, and he shouted: "Something must have happened, give way, I'm a police officer." He squeezed out of his seat, ran all the way, and climbed onto the stage. He grabbed Luo Zhou's hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
Luo Zhou seemed to be terrified. He looked at Ye Xiao with terrified eyes. He didn't know how to answer. He just pointed at Xiao Se on the ground and said, "She...she...is dead."
While Ye Xiao on the stage was busy feeling Xiao Se's pulse, Bai Bi in the audience saw Lan Yue standing up from the ground suddenly behind Luo Zhou and Ye Xiao.Lanyue left the prop human head on the ground. The "blood" on her body had run out, her whole body was blood red, and even her face was stained with blood, as if she had just killed someone.Her face was pale, and she looked at Luo Zhou and Ye Xiao expressionlessly from behind, as well as Xiao Se who was lying on the ground. Luo Zhou, who was overly frightened, and Ye Xiao, who was busy examining Xiao Se's body, didn't notice that Lan Yue had passed away. stood up.Bai Bi looked at Lan Yue on the stage from her seat, and suddenly felt extremely terrified in her heart. There seemed to be a special expression on the corner of Lan Yue's mouth. She turned around and faced the audience again. Bai Bi felt that she seemed to be looking at him. Yes, she was looking at herself, and Lan Yue's eyes passed through dozens of rows of seats and pointed directly at Bai Bi's eyes.Then, Lan Yue left the stage slowly, retreated into the backstage from the other end, and disappeared from everyone's eyes.
But Ye Xiao on the stage felt that there seemed to be something moving behind him, and when he turned around, he found that Lan Yue, who was lying on the stage, was no longer there.And Xiao Se, who was lying beside him, the girl wearing the costume of Princess Loulan, had literally stopped her heartbeat.
Xiao Se died.
Ye Xiao was a little dazed, he shook his head and stood up, ignoring to help Luo Zhou who was still trembling on the stage.He turned his gaze to Bai Bi who was under the stage, and with his heavy gaze, told Bai Bi of Xiao Se's death.
Bai Bi sat heavily on the seat again, lowered his head, and sobbed almost in despair.
On the stage, the head of the prop was still rolling slowly.
36
"Ye Xiao, help me." Luo Zhou said nervously, he stared into Ye Xiao's eyes, as if he was afraid that Ye Xiao would suddenly disappear from his eyes without a trace.The room was very stuffy, filled with an unpleasant smell, he hadn't gone out for a whole day, and all the doors and windows were closed tightly, from morning to now, all three meals were frozen food.So much so that his complexion was even more ugly, and his messy hair smelled like he had just come out of a garbage dump.
"Don't be afraid." Ye Xiao comforted him.
Luo Zhou stood up anyway, circling anxiously in the room, saying as he turned, "It has been more than 20 hours since the accident, and there is still no news about Lan Yue. God knows where she is."
"At that time, I only paid attention to Xiao Se who was lying on the ground. I kept feeling her pulse and gave her artificial respiration, hoping to save her. I didn't notice the blue moon behind. At that time, the audience in the audience said that the blue moon Standing up by herself calmly, she looked at us from behind with an almost expressionless face, and walked backstage calmly. Some viewers said that Lanyue looked very weird at the time, and they guessed that Lanyue seemed to be still immersed in the plot Among them, there is no drama yet, so there seems to be no sympathy or concern for Xiao Se's death in the clothes of Princess Loulan."
"Blue Moon is still in the play? Who knows? We have rehearsed this scene many times. Before the performance, everything was normal, and there was never any accident." Luo Zhou continued to walk around the room.
Ye Xiao watched Luo Zhou turn around in front of him, feeling a little dizzy, he stopped Luo Zhou: "Stop turning, sit down, Luo Zhou, you are too nervous, there is no need for this. Xiao Se's autopsy report has come out, and the cause of death has not yet been determined, but there are no internal and external injuries on her body, and there are no signs of poisoning. It is hard to say that she was murdered, and it may be just an accident. You know, there are many people in the world who died because of unknown Sudden death due to a certain disease, or some kind of congenital gene." He tried his best to comfort Luo Zhou, even though he couldn't understand it.
Luo Zhou finally sat down, and he said anxiously: "I am very scared now, afraid that Lanyue will suddenly appear in front of me, just like she suddenly disappeared. The people in the backstage said last night that they saw her from the stage. I went up and down, thinking that the performance was normal and the curtain was over, so I didn’t bother her, and let her go to the dressing room by herself. By the time we thought of her, there was no one in the dressing room, and no one saw where she was. Maybe she didn't go into the dressing room at all, but just walked out the back door of the theater."
"Then do you think Xiao Se's death is related to Lan Yue?"
"The devil knows." Luo Zhou sighed, "I'm sorry, I don't want to think about it, although according to the script, what Lan Yue performed on the stage is correct, and her performance is indeed very good. And Xiao Se The acting is also good, at least much better than I originally imagined, but Princess Loulan did not die on the spot in the plot, she survived until Loulan was really destroyed due to lack of water, and she was forced to leave her home and come to The truth will be revealed in the Valley of the Tombs.”
"What truth?"
"Princess and Lanna are actually twin sisters."
"Then we should find two actors who look alike."
"No, in the plot, they just look different. In real life, there are many twins who don't look alike. And there are also two people who look alike, but they have no blood relationship with each other."
Ye Xiao was startled suddenly, he thought of Jiang He and himself, isn't it the second situation that Luo Zhou mentioned?He didn't want to think too much, and said lightly: "Indeed, judging from the plot on the stage at that time, it was Lanna who cursed the princess. The princess died on the spot due to her curse. What Muyi did Lan Yue read at the time?" Oh, what do you mean?"
"Well, that's the name of the patron saint in charge of life and death in ancient Loulan. It is said that as long as Mu Yi'ao's name is heard, the cursed will be doomed."
"Who told you this?"
"It's Lanyue, she said she checked it from the library?"
Ye Xiao asked a little strangely: "Is she also involved in the script?"
Luo Zhou lowered his head and said with some shame: "I can only tell you the truth. The idea of this script actually came from Lanyue. It was Lanyue who compiled the framework of the whole story. Got her plan. Do you know? She is a very smart woman, very smart, I must admit that her IQ is actually much higher than mine. "
"Did she say anything about her past?"
"Never, I'm not interested in other people's past and privacy."
Ye Xiao sighed, shook his head and said, "I don't know her past, and I don't know where she's going. Does she really look like a ghost?"
"Don't, don't say it, I can't stand it." Luo Zhou's expression was particularly painful.
Ye Xiao looked at Luo Zhou's terrified expression, but he had to speak out what was in his heart: "Luo Zhou, last time I came to look for you, I saw Lan Yue."
Luo Zhou shook his head and said: "Enough, she said, I will regret it, now, I really regret it. Ye Xiao, please believe me, I am innocent, you don't think I have anything to do with her , just think that she and I are in the same group. In fact, I only have one night with her, that's all, there is no more relationship, this is completely an accident, believe me."
"Luo Zhou, first of all, I didn't say that Lan Yue must have something to do with Xiao Se's death, even though we have obtained evidence that Xiao Se and Lan Yue had conflicts over their roles before they were alive, but they didn't quarrel directly, Lan Yue I have always given way to Xiao Se. It is very likely that Lan Yue was frightened after seeing Xiao Se's death, and did not dare to stay in your troupe anymore, and left you far away. Secondly, even if Lan Yue is related to Xiao Se's death , It doesn’t mean that you are also involved in this matter, the only certain relationship at present is that you are the director and screenwriter of this scene, second only. Do you know? You don’t have to worry.”
"I hope so."
Ye Xiao remembered something again: "Luo Zhou, did anything special happen before or during the performance?"
"Something special? It doesn't seem to be there."
"Then when Lan Yue said those few words at the end, the volume in the theater suddenly became astonishingly loud, frightening everyone present. What's going on? Did you arrange it on purpose when you were writing and directing?" Ye It seemed that the deafening blue moon's curse sounded in Xiao's ears again, especially those few words - Mu Yi'ao.
"No, no, the volume should be normal, it shouldn't be so loud. Later I asked the sound engineer, and he said that the machine that controlled the sound suddenly failed, and it couldn't be adjusted no matter what, the volume automatically jumped to the lowest level all of a sudden. It’s high-end, and there’s no way to control it. However, it’s strange to say that after the end, he re-adjusted the machine, and everything returned to normal.
"It's really inexplicable." Ye Xiao also said to himself.
"Ye Xiao, I'm done, I'm done. The investors of the troupe called me today and told me that the troupe has officially disbanded, and they will never trust me again. They didn't doubt my ability, because they said on the phone The effect of the performance was really good. They disbanded the troupe because they were afraid of being affected by our bad luck. To be honest, it is a very unlucky thing to say that someone died in public during the first public performance. Scared. From now on, I can no longer gain a foothold in this circle, and I have already been sentenced to death by them. Fate...fate is really unfair." Luo Zhou lamented endlessly.
Ye Xiao listened to Luo Zhou's words. He had listened to them countless times today. He could only shake his head and look at his watch. It was already late at night. He stood up and said, "Luo Zhou, I can't be with you all the time. Looking at you, I still have to handle my case, so you can do it yourself, open the window, let the air in, don't be afraid, otherwise you will be suffocated to death by yourself."
"Thank you, Ye Xiao." He finally calmed down a bit.
"Okay, I'm leaving, goodbye." Ye Xiao left here, and walked into the elevator in the middle of the night alone.
Luo Zhou was left in the room again, he walked slowly to the window, looking at the night outside the window, his hands were trembling, he was hesitating whether to open the window.He finally opened the window, and a gust of autumn wind rushed in, icy cold to the bone.
