Performance
Ling Shi was holding a large box filled with a bunch of messy things and following Lu Tingxiao.
He walked all the way to the stage before putting down the heavy box.
When he looked up, he saw Zuo Hao placing the puppet prop in his hand flat on the floor, with a confused look on his face: "This, this..."
I couldn't come up with a suitable question for a long time.
In fact, Ling Shi also wanted to ask, but for some reason, when he saw Lu Tingxiao's annoying face, he didn't want to ask too much, for fear of being insulted by him again.
Unfortunately, for someone like Lu Tingxiao, even if he doesn't have anyone else to play with him, it doesn't stop him from directing and acting on his own.
He squatted down in front of the puppet prop and stretched out his hand towards Zuo Hao: "Knife."
Zuo Hao said "Oh" and obediently took out the knife from behind his butt.
He was obviously not used to using a knife. He had just had a fierce fight with the corrupt man without even taking out the knife.
Lu Tingxiao took it and gestured on the puppet prop.
The puppet props consist of two figures, one male and one female, both of real-life proportions. The male is dressed in a suit and a gentleman's hat, while the female is dressed in a red court dance dress and a lace-trimmed hat.
Lu Tingxiao flipped the man puppet over, making it lie face down. With a knife in his hand, he cut a long gash from the back of the neck to the tailbone. With a pull of his hands, he stretched the gash to the left and right, and pulled out the cotton filling.
After a few tries, he stopped, looked at Zuo Hao, and said, "Help me."
Zuo Hao, who was watching him work, finally reacted: "Oh."
Hurry up and help dig it out.
Ning Fu, who was standing by, also came over, sat down cross-legged, and started digging with them.
Lu Tingxiao stepped back and kicked the puppet forward. His gesture made it clear that the job of removing the cotton would fall to the two men opposite him.
Ling Shi was about to step forward to help when Lu Tingxiao leaned towards him, blocking his path. He spread his hands in front of him but said nothing.
After taking a look at the hand in front of him, Ling Shi slapped it.
It took a lot of effort.
Let you pretend.
Finally, I found a chance for revenge.
Lu Tingxiao hissed and retracted his red, beaten hand: "I'm helping you. Do you have any conscience?"
Ling Shi said with a cold face: "What do you want?"
Lu Tingxiao: "Alcohol."
Ling Shi took out a large bucket of 75% high-purity disinfectant alcohol from the box, swung his arm and threw it over.
Lu Tingxiao placed his big hand on the alcohol barrel and used a little strength to hook it, immediately reducing most of the force that Ling Shi threw out. He took it with his other hand and hugged him smoothly.
He opened the barrel of alcohol and carried it to the puppet props.
The outer shell of the puppet prop is made of hard cowhide. Even if the cotton inside is hollowed out, it does not dent, but instead becomes an airtight cowhide container.
Zuo Hao looked at Lu Tingxiao's movements and asked, "Mr. Lu, are you going to..."
Lu Tingxiao didn't wait for him to finish and directly ordered: "Open the opening a little wider."
Zuo Hao subconsciously helped to open the crack on the back of the prop.
A bucket of alcohol was poured into the doll's body in one go.
Lu Tingxiao threw the empty bucket aside, without turning around, he stretched his hand back.
This time Ling Shi was too lazy to argue with him and handed over another bucket of alcohol.
After repeating this several times, half a human's volume of high-density alcohol was poured into the puppet prop.
Zuo Hao took a look and asked hesitantly, "Are you going to throw it on the corrupted people? Will it... not hit the target?"
Zuo Hao didn't dare ask why he had to go to the trouble of pouring it into the doll and then splashing it. He always felt that asking would make him look stupid.
Lu Tingxiao nodded. "Yes, the alcohol will drip down the doll onto the back of your foot. When it's ignited, 'whoosh!' and it will burn you all over."
The corners of Zuo Hao's mouth twitched. Although he knew that Lu Tingxiao must be joking, he still unconsciously retracted his foot.
Lu Tingxiao continued to stretch his hand backwards.
This time, Ling Shi handed over a handful of nails.
The hand took it, threw it into the doll, and then reached back out.
He handed over another pile of metal tools: wrenches, pliers, electric pens...all the small metal tools that could be found in the warehouse were here.
Finally, a tube of 502 super glue.
Lu Tingxiao's lips curled up when he saw what he had in his hand. He unscrewed the bottle cap and quickly taped up the crack on the back of the doll.
However, he deliberately left room for a fist at the uppermost part of the cervical vertebrae and did not block it.
Zuo Hao scratched his head and knew it was a stupid question, but he couldn't help but say: "This, this... aren't you going to splash it?"
Lu Tingxiao ignored him completely and stretched his hand back as usual.
Ling Shi almost couldn't hold back from slapping her again, always feeling like he was a good and helpful wife.
However, he still took out a long string of firecrackers from the box, rolled them into a ball, and stuffed it over.
Lu Tingxiao took it in his hand, glanced at it, and smiled: "You still understand me."
The two hadn't discussed the details of how to use the puppet props, but watching Lu Tingxiao pick and choose in the warehouse, Ling Shi almost guessed his intention.
On the other side, Zuo Hao sighed sincerely: "Wow, Brother Ling Shi, you are really amazing. You can even guess this."
Lu Tingxiao stuffed one end of the long firecracker into the doll along the cervical vertebrae, leaving the other end outside.
The same method was used to make the noble female doll in the red palace dress.
By the time everything was finished, more than half an hour had passed.
Outside the glass wall, the noise became more and more obvious.
The corrupt people have forgotten the pain after their wounds have healed and are planning to attack again.
Lu Tingxiao picked up the two puppets, one in each hand, and said, "Let's go and say hello to the audience outside."
Ling Shi looked at his arrogant appearance and muttered softly, "Psycho."
You really treat this place as a stage and the gay people as the audience.
The illness is serious.
However, Zuo Hao also looked very excited, holding up the red palace skirt with one hand: "Brother, let me help."
Oh.
So quickly, he went from being Mr. Lu to being called Brother.
Lu Tingxiao walked to the crack in the glass wall and kicked the glass at the edge of the crack twice, breaking it into pieces. This time, the crack was more than twice as big as before.
He leaned out, holding up the puppet in his hand, and shouted outside: "Hey, idiots, look here."
The corrupt people outside were attracted by the noise. Those who were climbing ladders and smashing doors and walls all became quiet and looked over here.
Seeing the three "people" on the left, center and right, many of the corrupt officials were stunned, their rigid brains twitching and unable to process.
Lu Tingxiao smiled at the audience and said, "It's an honor to be performing in this theater for the first...ahem, I don't know how many performances in my life."
"You should feel honored. A world-class performer like me usually charges a lot of money."
More corrupt people on the periphery were attracted by his voice and slowly gathered around.
On the stage, Ning Fu moved towards Ling Shi and sat next to him.
He looked at Lu Tingxiao's back and asked, "Have you... known each other for a long time?"
Ling Shi shook his head: "We just met on the road, we've only known each other for a few days."
Ning Fu seemed relieved and asked again, "What kind of business is he in? An actor?"
Ling Shi shook his head again: "I don't know."
Lu Tingxiao did say that he was guarding the gate at the Chinese Embassy in Country M, but that sounded like a lie.
Absolutely not credible.
I have guessed a little about his true identity.
After all, the other party's method of tying knots and commanding the formations of the corrupt people are too similar to those of the Chinese military.
But if he was really a soldier, why was he in Country M and was forced to be one of the first human experimenters?
Could he be a veteran?
Ling Shi shook off the messy thoughts in his head.
Given Lu Tingxiao's habit of talking nonsense, there's little hope of him revealing his true identity.
Ling Shi got up from the floor and patted his butt: "Go over and take a look."
Ning Fu also stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Due to Lu Tingxiao’s ostentatious “performance”, all the corrupt people around the theater gathered together and crowded around the gate.
They looked very excited, baring their teeth and claws at Lu Tingxiao.
Lu Tingxiao was still talking nonsense:
"The show that will be performed today will definitely not disappoint you."
"No, no, it's not what you think it is, that handsome man and beautiful woman, you and I are in love, that kind of love stuff, no one wants to watch it."
"Now, I solemnly introduce the most exciting live performance of this century: 'Storm-Ridden'. I hope you will enjoy it."
After a lot of weird talk, Lu Tingxiao pushed with both hands, and the two puppet props fell directly from the second floor into the pile of rotten people.
Zuo Hao, who had been eagerly watching the "performance" nearby, became anxious: "Just push it down like that? It hasn't even exploded yet!"
As usual, Lu Tingxiao didn't turn around, but stretched his hands behind his head.
The puppet has fallen and detonation is imminent.
Ling Shi sighed, took out a lighter from his pocket and threw it at Lu Tingxiao.
The lighter drew a beautiful parabola in the air and fell accurately into Lu Tingxiao's hands.
Lu Tingxiao squatted down and lit his lighter.
Under his feet, he was always stepping on one end of a firecracker tied to the backs of two dolls, with the fuse exposed.
The moment the flame jumped up to the fuse, Lu Tingxiao loosened his foot, and the firecracker slid down the wall, accompanied by crackling sounds, and fell into the group of corrupt officials.
The firecrackers seemed to ignite the "passion" of the corrupt people, and they couldn't help but roar along.
Lu Tingxiao looked down and said, "Wow, let's just celebrate the New Year for them."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang" and the man doll filled with high-density alcohol was completely ignited by the sparks and exploded.
The group of corrupt people surrounding them were instantly blown away, with wounds of varying sizes on their bodies.
The big ones were so deep that the bones were visible, while the small ones only scraped the skin and black-brown blood flowed out.
Many of the wounds on the corrupted people came from the metal tools inside the puppets. A nail or a metal fragment was stuck in the flesh, like bullet fragments, causing them to howl constantly and temporarily lose the ability to move.
After just a few seconds, there was another loud "bang" and another female doll in a red palace dress also exploded.
The corrupt people guarding around it looked on stupidly, and before they could react at all, they were dragged into the abyss of fire.
Lu Tingxiao patted Ling Shi's shoulder and gestured towards the theater entrance with his chin: "Let's go?"
Ling Shi nodded.
He kicked the ground with his legs, and jumped out of the floor-to-ceiling window as light as a swallow.
Bang, both feet landed on the ground.
Lu Tingxiao beside him reached the ground almost at the same time as him.
Anyone who dares to jump from the second floor without thinking must have been trained or have a problem in his brain.
Zuo Hao shouted anxiously from upstairs: "Hey, wait for us!"
"Wait until we get down the stairs!"
Lu Tingxiao grabbed Ling Shi and walked through the crowd of corrupt officials lying on the ground.
