Chapter 362: Pseudo-Yi
Nantivian, Episcopal Square.
In the dark night and the cold wind, the passionate performance continued. Adele, who took the stage for the second time, performed her third dance of the evening.
Gentle, sad... The tone of Adele's third dance is completely different from the previous ones. Under the sad music, Adele's own movements also look miserable and graceful. The white swan she plays who keeps struggling in the predicament arouses pity from the audience below.
Unlike the previous dances, due to the tone of the dance, the crowd below was much quieter when Adele was dancing this dance. Although it was quiet, everyone's attention was still focused on Adele. The audience looked at the stage with worried and nervous expressions. They were really infected by the emotions conveyed by Adele's dance, and everyone was really paying attention to the fate of the swan.
Finally... at the end of the dance, both the music and the movements became gradually more uplifting, and Adele's dance posture gradually changed from heavy and slow to light and powerful, as if she had found an opportunity of hope in the hardship, and struggled bravely towards that opportunity with all her strength. Finally, after experiencing all kinds of hardships, the downed swan finally spread its wings and soared into the sky, and at the same time, the audience below the stage also burst into thunderous applause.
Another song ended, and Adele breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the audience cheer and applause. Then, after she bowed to the audience for the last time, she slowly retreated off the stage.
After retreating behind the scenes, Adele smiled and welcomed the welcome from her own dance troupe members. Amid the laughter, a deep sense of fatigue was revealed in the depths of Adele's eyes.
"Ah... It's been a long time since I've danced so hard..."
After dealing with the crowd that came to greet her, Adele sat down on a seat nearby and thought to herself that her inherent spirituality was almost exhausted due to excessive use of her abilities.
"Although the impact on each person is very slight, it still affects thousands of people at the same time. If I hadn't integrated the spirit of the teacher's group beforehand, which allowed me to improve my abilities and spiritual reserve, I would have found it difficult to do this with my previous abilities..."
Covering her forehead, Adele thought to herself that it would be difficult for her to perform the scene just now if she was an ordinary lust dancer.
"Hmph, but I didn't expect that group of spider perverts would actually infiltrate the royal family. How did they do it? I don't know what method the detective lady will use to deal with the assassin."
Sitting in her seat backstage, Adele thought so. At this moment, she understood that the only person who could target those Spider Assassins was the famous detective off the stage. Now she was also looking forward to what kind of actions the other party would take.
…
"Ah... another impressive dance, but the final turn was a little abrupt. I can feel that Adele's dance this time should be a tragedy from beginning to end. The swan may never fly again. This ending may be a temporary change by Adele."
On the VIP balcony, Barrett said as usual while appreciating Adele's dance, and Isabel beside him nodded in response.
"Hmm... I feel the same way. Maybe it's because it's not appropriate to perform pure tragedy works at this time of year. If the ending is good, most people can accept it, especially the public who like good endings. Although tragedy can pursue deeper artistry, only a few people can appreciate this art. Here I can see that Miss Adele is more inclined to perform her dance in this evening party to be closer to the public."
Princess Isabel continued to comment, and then she and Duke Barrett began to have a more in-depth discussion on this topic. At this time, behind them, there were three bodyguards standing in a row, who were listening to their discussion while keeping a focused look on their surroundings.
Among these bodyguards, the one sitting closest to him was a sturdy man with a scar at the corner of his eye, slightly dark skin due to the sun, and a ferocious face. There was a hint of deep murderous intent hidden in the depths of his eyes as he looked forward.
…
On the other side, in the still bustling audience, Dorothy, standing in the crowd, had no intention of watching the show on the stage. At this moment, she was watching the scene on the VIP balcony from the perspective of a zombie, staring intently at the disguised assassin of the Eight-Pointed Nest standing behind the two royal members, and thinking quickly in her heart.
"Assassinating the royal family... So that's the real purpose of those guys? Then among the princess and the duke... did anyone do something to become the target of the Eight-pointed Nest? Did the duke have some results in his research, so the Eight-pointed Nest noticed it?"
Dorothy thought about this, and after thinking about it, the only reason why the Eight-Pointed Nest suddenly took action against these two royal members was this. According to Misha's previous statement, Duke Barrett was a consultant to the Security Bureau.
Because the Eight-Pointed Nest frequently took actions against the Mirror-Moon Statue, the Security Bureau also began to study the Mirror-Moon Statue. However, in order to avoid contamination, the Security Bureau would not conduct in-depth research on the mysticism, so in the end the research on the statue was entrusted to Duke Barrett.
And now that Barrett has become the target of assassination by the Eight-Pointed Nest, it is possible that he has made some progress in his research, and the Eight-Pointed Nest wants to strike first.
"It seems that Barrett must have known something, so the Eight-Pointed Ones are now in a hurry to get rid of him. If that's the case, then Barrett must not die. But the problem now is how to save Barrett from this backstab and sniper environment."
Dorothy thought so, but she didn't understand why the Eight Pointed Ones were able to infiltrate so close to the Duke and even replace his personal bodyguard.
There are two assassination points. The sniper's side is easy to deal with, but the bodyguard behind Barrett is a bit difficult to deal with. At such a close distance, it is very difficult to stop his assassination.
"That bodyguard assassin... If I send someone to stop him, I'm afraid he will be regarded as an assassin and be stopped by other normal bodyguards. If I remind them to talk, why would they believe me? This is very difficult..."
Scratching her head, Dorothy thought in distress that the only person on her side who could possibly alert Barrett was Adele, but doing so would inevitably expose Adele's identity in front of the royal family and the Eight Peaks. Now Adele's previous wide-area ability to release spiritual power was no longer enough, and if she was exposed like this, she would likely be in danger.
If Adele didn't use a normal zombie doll to remind him, why would the other party listen to her? If she went straight to the person, she would be considered a real assassin.
Dorothy also thought about forcibly ending the performance by creating chaos, but this would only allow those guys to take action in advance. After they succeeded, they could put the blame on themselves for creating the chaos. By that time, she would be playing a role like Sadow and the others, and the Eight-Pointed Nest would be even more desirable.
They couldn't create chaos to end the performance, nor could they go up to stop the assassin directly, let alone go up to warn him directly... Under these conditions, it was extremely difficult to stop the assassination.
Just like that, Dorothy was stroking her chin and thinking seriously in the crowd, and he was still firmly locking the positions of the two assassins through the perspective of the zombie. This was the first time she encountered a situation where she was still unable to take action after knowing the whereabouts of the enemy.
"I feel that we still need to remind the royal family in the end, but what method can be used to successfully remind them without being noticed by the Eight Points and without arousing suspicion from the royal family?"
Dorothy was thinking silently in her heart, and at this moment, she felt her shoulder suddenly patted. She was frightened and turned around to see that the person who patted her was none other than Gregor.
"Hey! Dorothy! Did you see that just now?! That magic trick is amazing! The person entered the box and then opened it and became another person. How did they do that?"
With an excited look on his face, Greg patted Dorothy's shoulder and pointed at the show on the stage and spoke loudly. Dorothy was startled, then looked at Greg and then glanced at the magic show on the stage, and agreed with a slight twitch of her lips.
"Ahh...yes, it's really magical..."
