If you think about it carefully, Zhang Xu's analysis is actually quite reliable.

This stems from Zhang Xu's background as a fisherman. To him, ownership of a ship is very important, which means that at sea, whoever has the most say will be the one to be listened to.

This is true for small fishing boats, and it is also true for large ships like the Silence.

At critical moments, the right to speak can determine the life, death and fate of a ship. That is why Zhang Xu understood the truth and knew how important the ownership of a ship is.

Lin Mo didn't expect that the problem that had been puzzling him for a long time was actually explained by Zhang Xu in just a few words.

This is definitely an unexpected bonus.

It seems that it was the right decision to bring Zhang Xu here.

Although it has not been confirmed, Lin Mo thinks this possibility is very high.

At this time, all the passengers had entered and the theater was almost full, but most of the passengers did not really come to see the show. To them, this was just a process that they had to go through.

But for Lin Mo, he really came to see the performance, and he was very much looking forward to the upcoming dance drama.

The curtain on the stage slowly opened at this moment.

This time there was no host dressed up to make gestures, and the show went straight into the plot after the first half.

The dancer appeared as a dancer.

The heroine she played has grown up. She wears gorgeous clothes, goes to high-end places, and enjoys a refined life that she never dared to imagine in the past. Whether it is a cocktail party or a dinner party, she is the most dazzling pearl.

This is obviously inconsistent with the origin of the first half and forms a sharp contrast.

Apparently, the heroine had unknowingly completed the transformation from an ugly duckling to a white swan.

How the transformation took place was not shown on stage.

As for the part of the plot that has not been shown, it all depends on the audience's imagination.

There is a very big difference here, which Lin Mo noticed the moment the dancer playing the heroine came on stage. In fact, not only him, but anyone who pays the slightest attention to the dancer can see it.

The dancers in the first half had no mouths, but they did in the second half.

Zhang Meng was the most excited one. He held Lin Mo's arm and winked at him. Finally, he wrote on paper: "Isn't this the portrait we saw in the painting world?"

Lin Mo said yes.

This was the dancer in the unfinished portrait they had seen in the eerie studio.

Zhang Meng wrote another paragraph.

"Lin Mo, you didn't draw her mouth, did you?"

Her words were grammatically incorrect and incomprehensible, because the mouth on the portrait was indeed painted by Lin Mo, and to say anything more was completely nonsense. Of course, Zhang Meng actually meant that because you, Lin Mo, painted a mouth on the portrait, the dancer also has a mouth.

Lin Mo understood, and he was also considering whether this was the reason.

If so, then the portraits they saw in that studio actually had a lot to do with the dancers.

We can study this matter later.

Let’s focus on the plot right now.

Lin Mo noticed that although the heroine was now dressed gorgeously and lived a much better life than in the first half, the innocence and romance on the heroine's face were gone.

She is very depressed now.

It seems that there are too many worries hidden in my heart.

It's the kind of life that is not going well.

The same is true for some of the subsequent plots, where the heroine becomes more and more miserable.

Although she smiled, one could read her thoughts from her eyes and graceful dance moves.

Lin Mo still felt that the dancers’ performance was quite good; every move they made was perfect, and they really brought the heroine to life.

He decided that after the performance, he would have to have a good talk with the dancer alone.

Gotta make a friend.

This is entirely Lin Mo's personal preference.

Of course there are other reasons, for example, Lin Mo feels that this dancer is most likely "Jane".

That is, 'I play myself'.

But if this is the case, then another paradox arises.

The people of the Guterres family said that the taboos and curses on the ship were all created by this "Jane", such as the curse of the "Mouthless Man" who wiped off the mouth.

The Guterres family said this was because 'Jane' did not want others to know that she was an imposter and a fake family member.

This is certainly plausible.

But if that is the case, then the dancer is not 'Jane', because she has exposed the whole thing through dance.

Where can you expose yourself?

But Lin Mo stubbornly believed that the dancer was 'Jane'.

Lin Mo really wanted to figure out the twists and turns.

And if the other party is "Jane", then you have to communicate with the other party when discussing the matter of borrowing the boat.

So Lin Mo felt that for both public and private reasons, he had to get to know this "dancer" better.

The performance on the stage continues.

What comes next should be a highlight.

A wedding.

A very grand wedding.

The heroine and the heir to another prominent family.

It can also be seen that the other party's family power is stronger.

Normally a wedding is a happy occasion, but at this moment the dancer showed her most superb acting skills. What she showed was a kind of resistance and unwillingness.

That kind of painful emotion was completely integrated into the graceful dance moves. I don't know about others, but Lin Mo felt a strong resonance at this time.

But even though there was resistance and even though there was great reluctance, the wedding still went on.

The heroine married the man she didn't love and even hated.

After the wedding, the heroine never appeared again.

The dance drama ended at this moment.

Lin Mo took the lead in applauding.

He thought the other party performed very well and deserved applause.

Zhang Meng also clapped her hands. She was also watching the scene intently, and even had tears in her eyes. She must have felt that the heroine had finally succumbed to fate.

As for the other passengers, they probably weren't in the mood to watch it. To them, this was just a fixed show that was performed every day.

No matter how good-looking it is, it can’t be eaten.

However, the terrifying cold creature did not appear this time, which surprised the other passengers.

Obviously, some changes began to occur on the Silence after Lin Mo and his gang came aboard.

This time, Lin Mo did not wait for the other party to bow and leave, but walked over in advance, and then climbed onto the stage in front of everyone's surprised eyes.

Zhang Meng was not surprised at all.

Lin Mo can do this.

She climbed up immediately afterwards. This was Lin Mo's order. Not only her, but Zhang Xu and the others had to come up as well, because what was going to happen next might be very big.

We stay together and can deal with problems together.

The dancers on the stage looked at Lin Mo and others strangely.

"Every one of you is amazing, really, your performance is full of passion, and your dance is like a beautiful prose poem."

Lin Mo was generous with his praise at this time.

The dancers on the stage were all embarrassed by him, and since Lin Mo had a mouth, it showed that the other party was not ordinary, at least a strong man who could suppress the "curse", so they all saluted.

Very elegant.

"Especially you, you're amazing, both your expression and dance moves are impeccable. Come, let's get to know each other. I'm your little fanboy, my name is Lin Mo, what's your name?"

Lin Mo walked over and was about to shake hands with the leading female dancer.

From a close distance, the other person looked exactly like the "Jane" in the portrait that Lin Mo had seen.

Just like what I drew myself.

At this moment Lin Mo was certain that the dancer in front of him was the person in the painting.

If the other person did not walk out of the painting, then he must have a great connection with the painting.

The dancer looked at Lin Mo, then reached out and shook hands with Lin Mo.

"My name is Maloney!"

This should be the dancer's name.

Not 'Jane'.

This matter is not difficult for Lin Mo. If you have any questions at this time, just ask directly.

So Lin Mo asked the other party if he was "Jane" and if he was a member of the Guterres family.

Does this have a double meaning?

One is true and the other is false.

But no matter whether it is true or false, as long as it is 'Jane', she is considered a member of this family.

The dancer opposite did not answer immediately. She looked at Lin Mo curiously and said, "Let's talk somewhere else."

After saying that, he pulled Lin Mo forward.

The next moment, they arrived at a place Lin Mo had never been to.

A powder room.

Teleport?

It looks like that.

At this time, Lin Mo could be sure that the other party must be "Jane". Only the real controller of the Silence had this ability.

The dancer at this moment sat down on the chair in front and began to remove her makeup.

At the same time she began to speak.

"Thank you for helping me break the curse, allowing me to have a mouth and regain the ability to speak."

This is the first sentence.

There is a lot of content inside.

Of course Lin Mo never helped the other party. The only thing he did was to draw a mouth on the other party's mouthless portrait.

That's all.

"You mean the painting?"

"right!"

"You're welcome. It was unintentional." Lin Mo told the truth.

"Do you understand the content of the ballet?" the dancer continued to ask.

"Of course, how about I tell you about it..."

Lin Mo's conversation is never dull, no matter if he is chatting with a person or a ghost, he can always make you feel comfortable in the end.

Without the other party's consent, Lin Mo began to talk on his own.

It was just like discussing the plot with each other after watching a favorite movie. Lin Mo told them everything he knew and understood.

He spoke very seriously, and even on some details, some things that were not expressed in the dance, he made very good expansion and extension.

Lin Mo felt proud when he saw the dancer's surprised expression.

I thought that the other person must be very happy. It was simple: I had met a close friend.

How could she not be happy?

To be honest, among so many people in the Grand Theater, Lin Mo thought he was the only one who watched this dance drama so carefully and expressed such profound impressions after watching it.

That's confidence.

After listening to this, the dancer was silent for half a minute before speaking.

"Who told you that I killed the real Jane? And who told you that after I killed the real Jane, I took her place and entered the rich and powerful aristocracy?"

The dancer was visibly annoyed.

This was different from what Lin Mo had expected.

Wrong? That shouldn't be the case.

Lin Mo asked if the colorful hairband and red high heels were evidence, and the playmate who played with you at the beginning was missing, how do you explain this?

“Under normal circumstances, you should have killed her, and then…” Lin Mo made a gesture of strangling her neck, and didn’t say the rest.

But the meaning is self-evident.

The dancer sighed.

There was a sadness in her expression.

Lin Mo caught this emotion in an instant.

He thought about it carefully and indeed, according to what he had said before, many of the micro-expressions of the dancers behind him conflicted with the actual situation.

Obviously there is something else going on here.

So Lin Mo told the other party, don’t be anxious, I just mentioned a possibility. In fact, I have another speculation, you might as well listen to it.

The dancer obviously didn't have high hopes for this. She was even too lazy to look at Lin Mo, but continued to remove her makeup.

But it can be seen that she seems to have closed herself off again.

Maybe just now, she really thought she could find her confidant.

Lin Mo didn't care either.

He began to continue talking about the second possibility he could infer.

The inferences are generally similar to the previous ones, but there are two completely different conclusions on some key issues.

"You didn't kill the real Jane. She begged you to take her place. Perhaps the real Jane didn't like this aristocratic status and life. She might yearn for freedom more, or something else."

When Lin Mo reached this point in his story, the dancer's movements paused noticeably.

Look.

She cares.

This shows that Lin Mo hits the point.

So he also became excited and continued to tell the story.

"The real 'Jane' let you live the life she was originally going to live. This may not be a gift, it is just selfish. You, Maloney, don't want this, because it means your own life will be ruined. But your kindness made you agree to your good friend."

"After that, you were bound by fate and became another form of 'prisoner', losing your freedom."

“This is not the life you want!”

“And it’s very painful.”

Lin Mo thought of something at this time and continued: "You even have to bear some unwarranted accusations. For example, the Guterres family believes that you stole the identity of 'Jane'. They hate you to the core, but the strange thing is that they are very afraid of you."

The dancer stood up at this time and looked at Lin Mo.

There was some emotion in her eyes.

It’s hard to tell whether it’s excitement, anger, or even hatred.

"It's not me they fear!"

The dancer spoke this in a low voice, as if afraid that something might hear it.

After saying that, she looked around, her eyes filled with anger, hatred, and a hint of fear.

When Lin Mo heard the other party's words, lightning flashed through his mind, and at this moment he suddenly thought of something.

"Maloney, let me ask you, were you the one who went into the bottom of the cabin to fix the pipe?"

Just as Lin Mo expected, the dancer opposite shook his head blankly.

I’m not feeling well because of a cold and my nose can’t stop running. But even so, I’d like to ask for a few monthly tickets!
