While everyone else in the theater bowed their heads in prayer.
Gu Xinghe and Teresa stood on the stage, facing each other across the sea of people in the audience.
She looked at Gu Xinghe with a smile.
In that instant, Gu Xinghe felt that Theresa was like a goddess who lived on a cloud, but had now returned to the mortal world.
Before long, the audience around them looked up from their prayers and opened their eyes again.
At this moment, the red curtain on the stage was finally slowly drawn up, and Teresa's figure left the stage.
After Teresa left the stage, the audience members also began to leave in an orderly manner, somewhat regretfully.
Gu Xinghe watched as Teresa's figure gradually disappeared behind the drawn curtain.
At this moment, a person who was originally sitting behind Gu Xinghe stood up, walked to his side and said to him.
"Sir, Miss Theresa asked me to inform you that you should leave on your own and do not need to wait for her."
Because we still need to work with the theater staff to handle the follow-up matters, Miss Teresa cannot leave with you. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Seeing the familiar face, Gu Xinghe recognized the person in front of him as the one he had spoken to in front of the theater earlier.
At this moment, the well-trained bodyguard, who had met him before, quickly changed into a set of casual clothes.
"Okay, I understand. I'll leave first and tell her not to worry."
"Yes, sir, I will pass on your message to Miss Theresa."
Gu Xinghe nodded in agreement, indicating that he understood.
The matter that Teresa was dealing with before meeting him clearly also required coordination with the theater.
Now that this special commemorative performance has ended, she naturally cannot leave immediately.
Moreover, if Gu Xinghe were to leave with Teresa right now and walk out of the theater, it would be a disaster.
He would undoubtedly become the absolute center of attention at the scene immediately.
It is also the focal point of attention in every sense.
There will likely be many more inquiries and assassinations from the Thorn Cult or from the general public.
Gu Xinghe couldn't help but start thinking about what would happen next—
Perhaps the saintess, in a fit of rage for her lover, would single-handedly wipe out the entire sect to avenge him.
Gu Xinghe suppressed the urge to laugh that was about to burst out.
He calmly put the glass bottle that Teresa had handed him before leaving into his pocket.
After gaining the superpower to hear other people's thoughts.
Because he couldn't show too much abnormality on the surface, Gu Xinghe felt that his imagination seemed to be getting richer and richer.
He watched as the plainclothes bodyguard who had just spoken to him prepared to leave.
Gu Xinghe took out the replica of the Eris Mirror, which was a reward from the game system in the previous instance, and handed it to him.
As a replica of the Magic Mirror, it naturally has some connection with the true fragment of the Magic Mirror of Eris in Gu Xinghe's possession.
It's like a robot soldier who has been separated from the organization and is developing on its own.
However, upon encountering their former organization again, they can easily be taken over by the "superior artificial intelligence" from the same source.
Then it was reintegrated into the rule and administration.
A mirror copied from data analyzed from the real Mirror of Eris is naturally considered to have been tainted by the power of the Mirror of Eris.
Gu Xinghe could then use the special relationship between the two mirrors as a medium to contact Theresa.
This seemed to be subtly hinting at him—
The rewards provided by the game system are not absolutely safe.
Naturally, the way players are rewarded with accommodation addresses from beginner dungeons already hints at this trend.
The [Rose Nebula] potion and special cocktail flavoring liquids are separate items.
But rewards such as replicas of fragments of the Mirror of Eris are also possible.
There might be some "self-aware superiors" involved.
"Wait a moment, please pass this mirror to Theresa."
The replica of the Mirror of Eris has a small, oval mirror about the size of a palm.
The black border is decorated with raised, delicate floral patterns around the edges.
Compared to the somewhat shabby fragments of the True Magic Mirror, the system's reward looks more like a genuine, authentic item.
"Yes, sir."
The bodyguard, dressed in plainclothes, respectfully and somewhat tremblingly took the mirror from Gu Xinghe's hands.
Seeing that the other party had already taken the mirror steadily and turned around, Gu Xinghe was also preparing to leave the theater.
Not far away, Gu Xinghe saw waiters at the theater entrance distributing a souvenir gift to each departing audience member.
The commemorative gift was placed in a small gold cloth bag.
The tied-up opening of the bag does indeed make it look somewhat similar to the golden apple.
As Gu Xinghe walked to the entrance of the theater.
He saw that the woman who had checked his ticket and shown him his seat earlier was the one who was about to hand him a gift.
Compared to her previous panic and lack of professionalism when facing him, she now seems much more "mature".
The look in his eyes was no longer filled with fear, and his movements were no longer hesitant.
It seems that in this short period of time, the other party has made some kind of great progress.
Seeing Gu Xinghe's gaze fixed on her, Huang Sihui seemed to sense it and looked up at him with a smile.
Her smile seemed to lack all the fear she had shown during their brief time together, instead carrying a strange infatuation.
"Sir, this is a souvenir gift for you. Please accept it."
I wish my gaze could stay fixed on him forever, that I could keep watching him!
Huang Sihui handed Gu Xinghe a small gold cloth bag containing a commemorative gift with both hands.
I heard what the other person was thinking.
Gu Xinghe didn't feel disgusted or get goosebumps, nor did he feel excited because a girl seemed to have a crush on him.
Gu Xinghe, who could remain unfazed no matter what he heard, gave Huang Sihui a cryptic look.
Although her face was always smiling, there was no smile in her eyes.
Black lines were spreading across her cold pupils.
The black lines, like wriggling nematodes, kept moving towards the center of the pupil.
"Thanks."
Gu Xinghe accepted the Golden Apple Theater souvenir gift handed to him by the other party.
You're welcome, sir.
Huang Sihui's face revealed a sweet smile, just like any other girl's.
Gu Xinghe lowered his eyes, no longer paying attention to the person in front of him, and turned to walk out of the Golden Apple Theater.
Congratulations to the player for clearing the dungeon - Golden Apple Theater!
After leaving the theater, Gu Xinghe walked back to the deserted street that led to the Golden Apple Theater.
A moment later, Gu Xinghe's figure disappeared from the street.
