Chapter 033 Mirage (Ten)
Under the influence of the tsunami last night, the atmosphere on the first floor of the B&B was obviously much more solemn today.
Dong Jin, who was stabbed twice in the morning, was like nothing happened. He walked into the kitchen to make breakfast for himself and the little fat man, while he started a live broadcast and chatted with the audience on the other side of the screen. Judging
from the unprecedented popularity of the live broadcast room today, the big cake he drew for this group of people has been broken up and eaten by them. At this moment, the table full of delicious food on the screen and his casual attitude when feeding the monster made the audience who had been anxious all night slowly relax their nerves. Some viewers even opened their mouths and sighed:
"This is really the most peaceful style of all the live broadcast rooms today. Even if it's not for helping the anchor maintain his No.1 popularity, I'd still like to keep watching. ]
[The anchor's mental state is pretty good. I just went to other live broadcast rooms and they were all a little bit crazy in order to make enough money quickly. I even saw blood on some people who got tickets. I really don't know what they did in private... Compared with those dangerous elements, anchor, you have no offensive power at all. Remember to hide well for now, and whoever survives to the end will win! ]
Peaceful painting style? No offensive power? Hide well and survive to the end?
Dong Jin glanced at these bullet screens and thought about his future plans. He couldn't help but look subtle for a moment.
Is there a possibility that the biggest dangerous element in this copy is actually him?
"Delicious! Woohoo! So delicious! Why are all the dishes you cook so delicious! You don't know how much my friends envy me for being able to eat so many good things. Brother Jin, I call you brother, do you really not want to be my chef?" Dong
Jin, whose attention was drawn back by the exaggerated howl of the fat boy, glanced at the dining table. Even though he was sweating all over from the spiciness, this monster who was hit by the dimensionality reduction of 5,000 years of food still ate all the dishes cleanly.
Dong Jin rubbed the poison powder wrapped in paper in his pocket after seeing this. After thinking for a moment, he said apologetically, "You know, this island will be flooded by a tsunami soon, so I will be gone in seven days at most..."
"You want to leave?! But the tsunami obviously..." The fat man's voice suddenly stopped halfway through his words. As his expression kept changing, he finally changed his words stiffly, "The tsunami obviously may not come." Seeing
that this monster who had been his companion for three days did not reveal the meaning of "the tsunami is fake", Dong Jin, who was already hard-hearted and prepared to kill monsters quickly, no longer had any need to show mercy, so he pretended to be unaware and continued his performance:
"Whether it comes or not, it won't be wrong to run away first. I don't know if I'll have the chance to come back after this. Seeing that you like my cooking so much, I'll cook a big meal for you when I'm free in the next two days. You can call all your friends then, and we'll have a hot and lively meal together, as a farewell. What do you think?"
The monster, who had already decided to keep the tsunami a secret, no longer showed any entangled look when he heard this, but responded happily, "Of course."
"Since it's a farewell banquet, you'll have to cook a few more dishes, after all, you won't be able to eat them in the future... I'll contact my friends now, and tell me as soon as you're ready. They'll definitely be free anytime."
In response, Dong Jin just smiled and said, "Okay."
This was indeed a farewell banquet - a big farewell banquet for you.
Sending you off with a full Manchu-Han banquet is worthy of the food expenses you have paid these days, right?
After fooling this fat guy who didn't know his death was approaching, Dong Jin returned to the room upstairs and opened a locked notebook.
In the notebook was the rough script and all the dialogues that he had memorized after listening to the opera yesterday afternoon.
Taking advantage of the free time now, Dong Jin picked up a pen and began to revise something on the paper. It was not until the afternoon when the rain stopped that he took a taxi to the Water Opera House with this notebook that had been revised into something unknown.
"You despicable little liar, how dare you show up here openly?!"
As soon as he arrived at the door of the opera house, he ran into Xin Ge who was talking on the phone in a corner with an irritable look on his face. The moment she saw him, Xin Ge no longer cared about the phone in her hand.
She quickly hung up the call and started to curse with her soprano voice.
Dong Jin, who was scolded by this lady every time they met, could only smile apologetically.
He was indeed at fault in this matter.
After half a response, Xin Ge's anger finally subsided a little with the scolding without any repetition.
Although she calmed down a little and stopped cursing, she started a new round of ridicule without stopping: "What are you doing here this time? Are you delivering something to Xite again? Xite is in the private room now. Why don't you continue to pretend to be blind and see if you can find another sucker to take you in?"
When it comes to "pretending to be blind", Xing Ge's anger, which had just subsided, tends to rise again.
Yesterday, in order to let her fans listen to the opera live, she took people into the theater. After that, she was not only blamed by Xite, but she almost lost her position as the lead singer.
Originally, Xing Ge thought it was nothing. After all, it was her own decision, and she had the awareness to bear the consequences.
But after the tsunami last night, a group of anchors were on the hot search list one after another. Xing Ge, who occasionally went online, looked at Dong Jin, who looked very familiar, and suddenly realized that she had been completely deceived!
What kind of blind person is this? This person is probably not her fan at all!
She almost lost her job for such a liar! How could she not be angry?
"Madam, this time I didn't come to the theater, I came to see you." Dong Jin said, shaking the theater ticket that Lei Ming gave him this morning, indicating that he really didn't lie this time.
However, after seeing the ticket, Xin Ge became extremely angry: "Since you have the ability to get the ticket, why did you play tricks on me yesterday? Although I have a bad temper, I have never offended you, right?!" "
Please listen to me." Facing Xin Ge's increasingly unfriendly gaze, Dong Jin naturally showed a bitter smile: "I have my reasons for pretending to be blind."
Xin Ge sneered when she heard it, then she raised her head and hugged her arms and looked at Dong Jin, as if saying, "I want to hear what other nonsense you can make up."
"People with normal vision can see the world but cannot see people's hearts. Although a blind person cannot see anything in the outside world, he can only see through the good and evil in people's hearts. There is no doubt that among kind people, you are still the kindest one."
Xin Ge, whose expression was slightly softened by Dong Jin's sweet words, did not speak, but just motioned for him to continue.
"There is one thing I need the help of someone who is both brave and kind enough." When Xing Ge was about to change his expression again because of the word "help", Dong Jin continued in a calm tone: "Although it seems to be boastful. But what I am going to say next is not my personal matter, but a matter concerning all human beings."
Hearing this, Xing Ge had been attracted by Dong Jin's words. Even though she wanted to interrupt, sneer and ridicule several times, she still managed to keep quiet under the drive of curiosity.
"I want you to perform an opera for me and for this world." Dong Jin handed the notebook in his hand to Xing Ge.
Xin Ge glanced at it casually at first and was about to say, "Isn't this the 'Mirage' she has been rehearsing?" However, she fell silent after seeing the differences between this new script and the previous ones.
"The tsunami was not a punishment from God but a hoax. It was not God who caused the tsunami but a monster pretending to be God?" Xin Ge quickly read the revised lyrics of the first act and read to the end at a glance:
"When the tsunami was about to come, humans did not pray or kill each other, but chose to take up weapons and bravely kill God? In the end, the monster pretending to be God died, the false tsunami completely disappeared, and humans ushered in a full night of carnival in the long-lost peace..."
The more Xin Ge read, the more shocked and uncertain she became. After reading it all, there was only an unconcealable look of shock on her face: "What exactly are you implying through this script?"
Although she was always deceived, it was just that she was willing to be deceived, not that she was really stupid.
Now the news that the city will be submerged by a tsunami in eight days is spreading like wildfire, and it has long been known to the world.
Dong Jin came up with such a script at this sensitive time, combined with what he said before that this is a matter concerning all mankind... Could it be that what is written in this script is the truth, and the so-called tsunami is just a lie made up by monsters to destroy mankind?
Dong Jin silently observed Xing Ge's expression.
What he said to Xing Ge was half true and half false, and this script was also his impromptu idea.
Since Lei Ming chose to use a carefully rehearsed opera to build momentum for the tsunami, why couldn't he also use an opera to end this fake tsunami early?
And this soprano and opera star is undoubtedly the best person to realize his plan.
Not only because Xin Ge was so kind that she believed his disguise without saying a word, and not only because she dared to break the rules and bring him into the theater, but also because when she mentioned Xite before, she had said, "That guy is a monster after all."
- She was born distrustful of these aliens.
This is the basis of their cooperation, and it is also the root of his decision to give it a try today.
"...Even if I want to help you with this matter, the content of an opera is not something I can change alone. What's more, the owner of the theater is Xite, he basically comes to watch our rehearsal every day, and it is impossible for us to do anything under his nose."
As soon as these words came out, Dong Jin knew that the matter was already half successful. So he smiled again and said, "Is this really impossible?" He
was obviously smiling, but this time his smile was free of the apology that just floated on the surface, and from the inside out, there was only the sense of ease that a perennial winner has:
"Some people choose the path of opera for art, some for fame, and some for money."
"If it's for art, what could be more artistic than this hymn of humanity's victory over monsters?"
"If it's for fame, no matter whether this script is true or false, once it is performed, you will definitely become famous."
"If it's for money..." Dong Jin raised his hand and handed over a bank card, saying, "There are eight digits here. I don't know much about opera, and I don't know how much money it would cost to get those people to temporarily change the performance. If it's not enough, just tell me, and I'll find a way to make up the difference."
This card is the result of all his three pseudonyms' struggles so far. If the money in it is still not enough, he can only exchange the popularity points accumulated in the past few days for money first - anyway, he had no intention of changing the cruise ship from the beginning.
As long as the world is afraid of this tsunami, even if you escape from this island, you will still die.
It is better to use a shocking drama to completely shatter this mirage-like lie.
"As for Xi Te... I won't let him disturb you before tomorrow afternoon. You have one night and half a day to rehearse. I hope this play will be performed in the opera house tomorrow night."
The lyrics of the entire script were not much changed, and Dong Jin did not insist on 100% perfection, so they should be able to go on stage if they practiced hard.
Thinking of this, he took out another mobile phone and handed it to Xing Ge, saying: "If possible, I hope you can use this mobile phone to live broadcast during the performance. At that time, I will connect with the live broadcast room in the mobile phone and expose the monsters' lies at the same time."
The mobile phone that Dong Jin gave was taken from the trialer who died in the morning. Originally, he wanted to see if there was his companion's number or something like that in it. After searching for a long time and finding nothing, he simply took it and recycled it.
After making the general arrangements, Dong Jin looked at Xin Ge, who was holding the card and seemed to be hesitant to speak for a long time, "Any other questions?"
"There is one most important question." After a long silence, Xin Ge no longer spoke in the high tone before, but lowered his voice and asked hesitantly: "Everything you said today is true, right? You swear you are not lying to me again?"
Dong Jin did not continue to say some empty and beautiful words as Xing Ge thought.
He just lowered his head and looked into Xinge's eyes, and said briefly and sincerely: "Maybe I was once an unforgivable liar. But this time I promise you that after tomorrow, you and I will be the saviors of this world."
After a while, Xinge's answer was: "...Is the new script going to be renamed?"
To this, Dong Jin just smiled and denied: "No. It's called 'Mirage'."
Because after tomorrow, all the delusions of the monsters on this island will become an unattainable mirage.
He said long ago that the opening song has just sounded, and it is still unclear who will write the play and who will take the lead in the starring role.
