It's clearly a ghost, but it doesn't seem to have a soul?
"It's a joke that's not funny at all."
Ouyang Qianjin muttered something.
These ghosts did not attack Ouyang Qianjin after she entered; instead, they turned their heads and continued to look at the female singer in the oil painting in the center of the stage.
It was as if they were watching something important.
Sudden!
The sound of instruments filled the vast and quiet opera house.
It was as if it were some kind of mysterious magic.
The sound of musical instruments awakened the ghostly dancers who had been sleeping on both sides of the stage.
Dressed in magnificent dance costumes, they emerged from the darkness and began a breathtaking dance performance.
The ghost dancers' movements are light and graceful, moving across the stage like phantoms. Their figures are dreamlike and ethereal, making the audience feel as if they are in a ghostly world.
Their dance movements were fluid and coordinated; each dancer seemed to be conversing with the music, expressing the emotions within it to the fullest.
At the same time, the female singer in the oil painting also began to sing.
Her clear and melodious voice echoed the dance of the ghost dancers, creating a mysterious and romantic atmosphere that made people feel as if they were in a dream world.
"Damn it, I drew the worst possible lot!"
The moment she heard the singing, Ouyang Qianjin knew she had come to the wrong place.
Or rather, compared to the door on the right, the opera house door on the left put her at a greater disadvantage.
Psychological attack!
Another psychological attack!
Although Ouyang Qianjin has abundant mental energy.
But compared to these ghosts that can launch mental attacks, she would much rather encounter an enemy with whom she can 'fight on a physical level'.
"ha!"
Ouyang Qianjin once again used the mental reflex she had used in the castle hall to try to break free from the illusion.
However, at this moment she noticed two things.
One good thing, one bad thing.
Good thing, I didn't fall into a hallucination because of the oil painting singer's singing.
This is bad news. The singing alone is comparable to the mental attack that previously put me into a hallucination.
You should know that this kind of 'genuine emotional outpouring' is the most terrifying.
Because you have no idea when the other party will launch an attack.
However, until the very last moment, when the singing and instrumental music stopped, nothing had happened.
It's as if it was specially made for this song.
After the performance, Ouyang Qianjin clearly saw the female singer in the oil painting holding the hem of her skirt with both hands, bowing slightly to her in gratitude.
grateful?
"Could it be my imagination?"
Looking at the opera house, which had returned to calm as if nothing had happened, Ouyang Qianjin was completely bewildered.
Waaah—
Just then, a chilling wind swept through the entire opera house, and the ghosts who had been sitting quietly on the dilapidated chairs instantly rose to their feet.
The previously expressionless, numb face immediately showed a look of panic after feeling this gust of cold wind.
As if it were afraid of something, it screamed and vanished from the spot in an instant.
"Wow, the main character has arrived?"
Seeing the opera house like this, Ouyang Qianjin couldn't help but feel curious.
What can make those ghosts disappear completely?
That's right, although those ghosts disappeared, they didn't die; they all escaped.
As for where she ran to hide, Ouyang Qianjin had no idea.
Click! Click!
Just as Ouyang Qianjin was unaware of what was going on, the stage lights came on.
Then, all the ghost dancers from before appeared on stage.
Besides them, there are also ghostly musicians holding various musical instruments.
However, compared to before, the ghost dancers' outfits now lean more towards a dark style.
"This looks like it's about to turn into a big fight! This is how dungeons should be."
Miss Ouyang nodded in agreement.
Then we just waited, waiting for the real protagonist to appear.
After all, these mass-produced products have already been launched, so the people who manage these things must step forward to take their final bow.
really.
Not long after, Ouyang Qianjin saw a red figure walk onto the stage and take the center position.
This was a person dressed in magnificent red attire, draped in a vibrant red cloak, wearing a mysterious white mask, and with a slender sword at their waist, drawing attention.
He was tall and upright, with light yet firm steps.
It's like a dance, making one think of the heroic figures in martial arts novels.
His red attire shone with a magnificent light, showcasing his nobility and majesty.
His cloak billowed with his movements, like a burning flame, adding to his endless charm.
The mask concealed his true face, but through the gaps in the mask, one could see his eyes gleaming brightly, revealing a resolute and courageous spirit.
The slender sword at his waist had a jeweled hilt that gleamed with an alluring light.
The blade was incredibly sharp, seemingly capable of easily slicing through the air.
His mysterious identity and glamorous attire aroused curiosity and longing in people.
His existence seems to be a symbol, representing power, courage, and mystery.
[Phantom of the Opera, Vantem: A half-vampire, unwelcome by both humans and vampires, this monster lives in the lowest level of the opera house. He became enamored with the singing of operatic genius Christine and sealed her within an oil painting to admire her daily. He's like a voyeur and stalker; be careful not to get targeted.]
[Hidden message: Be careful, something seems off about this vampire.]
What's wrong?
Can't you see that?!
That's a pervert, of course! A terrible guy in every sense of the word!
Mixed-race, rejected by both races, relegated to the darkest level of the opera house...
This looks like the 'psychological distortion' buff has been fully stacked, doesn't it?
It appears to have taken on a human form, but it sealed the other person inside an oil painting simply because it liked their singing voice, so it could listen to them every day?
Look at this! Is this something a human being could do?
Oh! Not a human, but a vampire?
That's alright then...
Ouyang Qianjin stared intently.
It was as if there was no disguise at all; they immediately knew the other person's identity.
"How dare you! How arrogant!"
Seeing that the other party didn't even bother to conceal their identity, Miss Ouyang couldn't help but think more highly of them.
After all, there are things here that can block perception skills.
But they just won't cover up! It's all about the thrill!
Or perhaps some people simply look down on the young lady from the Ouyang family who came here.
Of course.
Miss Ouyang wouldn't get angry over this.
Because the other person exuded an aura that was very familiar to him.
This aura is the same as that of the insects, centaur khans, abyssal messengers, and so on that we encountered before.
Looks like this is going to be fun.
