Chapter 76 Appetite
The performance was still going on in the Feiteng Theater. What the audience did not expect was that during this performance, the dancers who were supposed to be performing on the stage actually jumped off the stage one by one and danced into the audience seats, having close contact with the audience.
The audience, who had been feeling increasingly bored by Adele's long absence, were pleasantly surprised by this scene. They had never seen such a dance before, where the dancers were not even dancing on the stage.
Dancers in red dresses danced happily in the aisles of the auditorium. They interacted with the audience at close range, which surprised and excited many of them. Some audience members who were far away and couldn't see the dancers also stood up at this time, wanting to see the dancers who had entered the auditorium. The whole venue seemed to become more lively for a while.
䭼Obviously, all the audience regarded this as a special program with unique ideas and direct interaction with the audience. Although many audience members sitting inside the auditorium could not see such a program, the special audience members in the box had a clear view of the scene below due to their high position.
"I have to say...these girls trained by Adele dance pretty well, and some of their routines are quite innovative."
Sitting on the sofa in his box, Byron looked at the group dance on the scene and spoke slowly. As he spoke, he ate various snacks on the coffee table, which were all provided by the luxurious box.
"If it weren't for the trouble after the escape, and if I wanted to confirm Adele's condition, I would have thought of breaking the window and escaping her... But fortunately, the snacks here are not bad, and one or two of these programs are occasionally quite innovative, so it's worth staying here to watch..."
Byron thought to himself that his mission had actually been completed when Maria was "killed" in the bathroom. For safety reasons, evacuating immediately was the best option.
However, for the sake of soundproofing, the entire theater was quite closed during the performance, and all the doors and windows were closed. If he wanted to get out, he would have to break the glass or leave directly through the guarded main door, which would definitely leave traces and make people think he was an escaped murderer. This would not only fail to put the blame on Adele, but would also potentially get himself into trouble.
So Byron chose to stay and continue watching the show, and at the same time observe the impact of Maria's death up close and personal, and watch his own achievements. Anyway, he was completely absent when Maria "died", and he had sufficient proof of his absence, so it was impossible for anyone to find out that he was the cause of the investigation.
So, Byron just watched the show at the venue with peace of mind, quietly waiting for the end of the performance and waiting for the public opinion bomb he had created with his own hands to explode.
Before that, he was happy to enjoy the show while eating delicious snacks.
"The snacks in this theater taste good..."
After eating another piece of cake, Byron said with a hint of emotion that he felt the snacks tasted very good, much better than some high-end restaurants he often went to. He did not expect to be able to eat such delicious desserts in a theater.
"What a delicious snack. I think only the blood food in the dumplings can compare to it."
Byron thought this in his heart while eating the dessert on the table. Unconsciously, his movements became faster and faster. He kept picking up the desserts on the table and putting them into his mouth, showing an attitude of wolfing down the food.
While quickly eating the snacks on the table, he was also admiring the dance in the audience. Although there were many dancers dancing in the audience and they were all dressed exactly the same, Byron's eyes were only fixed on one of them.
She was a dancer standing on the central aisle of the auditorium. Although she was wearing the same red dance costume, the same half mask, and had her hair tied up in the same way as the other dancers, and she looked no different from the other dancers in appearance, her dance moves were very different.
This dancer's movements were more powerful, more precise, faster in rhythm, and more difficult. She was able to attract more attention than the other dancers. While she was dancing, the other dancers unknowingly began to dance around her and accompany her.
Originally this was a group dance without a protagonist, but now it gradually has a protagonist. All the dancers began to dance around a dancer. The exquisite dancing skills of this dancer were amazing, and some people couldn't help but have reverie.
In the box, Byron stared at the dancer, and began to quickly grab the snacks on the coffee table and put them into his mouth. He felt that the food in his mouth was becoming more and more delicious, and his stomach was becoming more and more hungry.
Byron grabbed the food faster and faster, from using one hand at the beginning to using both hands. He began to put the food into his mouth frantically without regard for etiquette to fill his still growing hunger. His abnormal behavior also attracted the attention of the servant next to him, who immediately stepped forward to stop him and said something.
"Master Byron, something is wrong with you, please stop immediately..."
"roll!"
Byron, who was stopped, roared angrily, then swung his hand fiercely and hit the servant. The servant was knocked away by the huge force and hit the wall, and his bones were broken.
After knocking the servant away, Byron suddenly seemed to realize that something was wrong with him. He stood there for a moment, all kinds of thoughts flooded into his mind. He gritted his teeth and grabbed his head as he thought.
'Shh... No, something is wrong! Why is this so delicious all of a sudden? Why am I so hungry all of a sudden? It was not like this before! These snacks were just normal snacks before! It was only after those dancers performed in the audience seats that they suddenly became so delicious... Or rather, I suddenly became so hungry! It was those dancers!'
Byron thought so in his mind, but even after realizing that something was wrong, his hands still did not stop and he continued to stuff food into his mouth. While eating, he stared at the dancers who were still dancing in the audience, especially the one who was in the main position, whose dancing was much more outstanding than that of ordinary dancers.
Like Byron, countless eyes in the audience were fixed on the dancer, watching this extraordinary performance, and some people in the audience shouted loudly.
"Adele! Adele! Adele!"
The cheerful cheers for Adele spread throughout the venue. Amid the crowd's shouts again and again, the dancer finally took off her mask and untied her hair while dancing. When her long golden hair flowed down like a waterfall, Adele's face appeared in front of everyone again.
When Adele appeared again, the whole venue was boiling. Waves of people surged above the audience seats, and the deafening shouts even drowned out the music.
