Chapter 2386 2398 [Who is Kudo Shinichi hugging? ]
Half a minute ago.
Mao Lilan and "Dr. Xinde" entered the venue through the side door and jogged all the way to the backstage.
As soon as they entered the room, they felt that the atmosphere was not right. When they ran backstage, they were surprised to confirm that in the absence of both the male and female protagonists, the drama was still carried out smoothly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief: Although there were reasons for it, it would be too tormenting if nearly a hundred people in the audience really had to wait for her.
Next to her, Vermouth always felt that things were not that simple.
She walked behind the curtain cautiously and suspiciously, and looked at the stage quietly. When she saw the scene on the stage clearly, her eyes suddenly stopped.
"Teacher Shinde? What's wrong?" Mao Lilan noticed her strange behavior and walked over to her side to take a look. Suddenly, her eyes met with the knight who was turning around gracefully on the stage.
"New..." Mao Lilan was about to blurt out, but before that, suddenly, the black knight's hand stretched out with the inertia of his rotation and embraced the heroine in a white dress on the stage.
Mao Lilan: “…”
Vermouth: "..."
Kudo Shinichi: “…”
He looked at Mao Li Ran backstage, then looked at the heroine in front of him who was masked with white veil, and then looked at Mao Li Ran again.
After staring at each other for two seconds, his pupils trembled as he looked away and his eyes fell on the "heroine" in front of him.
Kudo Shinichi: "..." Who the hell are you? ! Why is Xiaolan in the backstage next to you? !
Judy, who was waiting to see the reaction of the "new doctor", said: "…" Who the hell are you? ! Where's that annoying woman? !
"Xiaolan!"
Backstage, Suzuki Sonoko ran over happily along the aisle, holding the script in her hand: "How about it, are you surprised? Are you surprised? That guy is back!"
After saying that, she saw the two people on the stage hugging each other "affectionately", and then saw her best friend's face that seemed to be filled with murderous intent. She slammed the brakes and realized belatedly that something was wrong.
"Uh..." Suzuki Sonoko scratched her head. She looked at the estimated time on the script, then at what was happening on the stage, and muttered in surprise, "The plot is moving so fast. Someone must have forgotten their lines and secretly cut them. Otherwise, you would have caught up."
Mao Lilan kept a cheerful smile: "It's okay! It's just acting. I hugged Dr. Shinde a lot during rehearsals."
Beside her, "Doctor Shindo" said nothing. She stared at the familiar "heroine" with murderous aura all over her: "..." These FBI bastards actually came up with such a conspiracy under her nose... It seems that she had wronged Uzo.
As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, Vermouth suddenly felt something was wrong: these FBI were obviously coming for her, but she was trapped in the bank due to a sudden robbery and failed to arrive in time, and Shuichi Akai was also trapped at the same time... This was not something that a group of FBI who obeyed Shuichi Akai's orders could do.
So there may really be an FBI conspiracy in today's incident, but before that, everything was definitely under Uzo's control.
Thinking of this, the murderous aura in Vermouth subsided a little: "..." Then the question comes back again, what exactly does Uzo want to do?
…
Amid Vermouth's gradually calming gaze and Mouri Ran's gradually brightening smile, the current male protagonist, Kudo Shinichi, hugged his heroine and gradually began to sweat profusely.
The stalemate lasted too long, and the audience began to move.
Judy came to her senses and hugged him as planned while feeling confused. The "Black Knight" was wearing a helmet that covered the upper half of his face, leaving only his mouth and nose exposed. Judy felt that the exposed lower half of his face was different from that of "Doctor Shinichi", but soon she thought of another possibility.
——Perhaps it was the existence of this helmet that caused Vermouth’s disguise to be slightly deformed.
After all, the person opposite was the Thousand-Faced Witch, so it was not strange for her to appear with any face. Visual judgment was inaccurate, and only by taking the opportunity to pinch the other person to see if there was any disguise on him could we determine who the guy opposite was.
Thinking of this, Judy moved her hands and found the right angle to test.
Who knew that just as he was about to pinch him secretly, at this moment, the "black knight" on the opposite side suddenly shuddered, took a step back, and looked frightened and panicked as if he was hiding from a ghost.
Judy: “……?”
What's going on? Did this woman find out that the FBI was involved in this matter, so she wanted to turn around and run away? ... This is too impatient, it's not like Vermouth's style.
But before that, there seems to be another matter that needs to be dealt with.
Judy faced the burning gazes of the audience: "..." Although acting is not her main job, nor is it her hobby, being stared at by so many people... is really sweaty.
But the guy in front of him who was in charge of the acting seemed to be out of shape.
Judy sighed inwardly and took two steps forward professionally, trying to create a romantic atmosphere in which the heroine bravely pursues love and the hero is struggling inside.
However, it would have been fine if she didn't move. Once she moved, it was as if a switch was stepped on. The "black knight" who should have been handsome retreated several steps, as if the person acting with him in front of him was not a beautiful woman in a white dress, but a scary female ghost in white.
Judy: “…”
...What is this person doing? Is he still acting?
Wait, come to think of it, isn't this guy's attitude changing too much? He was calm and confident before, but it seems that after he turned around and saw her, his attitude suddenly changed...
There is something fishy!
Judy suddenly became suspicious and rushed forward and grabbed the guy who was retreating in panic.
The heroic FBI pinned down the struggling rookie and was about to take off his helmet to see what was inside. However, at this moment, a shrill scream came from the audience, abruptly breaking the eerie atmosphere on the stage.
"ah--!!"
"?!" Judy had heard this kind of shout too many times recently. She was startled and suddenly turned to look at the audience.
The person whose arm she was holding was also startled, and instinctively looked towards the direction where the scream came from, and it seemed that he wanted to run towards that direction.
Judy caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of her eye: "..." Why does this feel a bit like Jiang Xia?
...But this face looks different from Jiang Xia, and there is no need for Jiang Xia to run away when she sees her. She is not a scary pervert. She is a cheerful foreign teacher who is loved by everyone.
Judy was confused for a moment, but soon her attention was drawn to the scene below the stage.
——At some point, a space in the originally neatly arranged audience seats became empty.
Looking down from the stage, one could see a tall, thin man lying on the ground with an empty paper cup beside him.
