Chapter 19: A Beautiful Girl Ruolan (17): Falling into a trap that is inextricably linked
There was music in my ears, far and near, and then, a light came on from the front, as if it was the beginning of "Liao Zhai", drifting in front of my eyes like a will-o'-the-wisp. I opened my eyes wide and looked forward, but I couldn't see it at all. Clear. I tried groping forward, and then I touched a wall, so I walked forward quickly.
The road was a little bumpy and there was even the sound of water dripping.
The music got louder and louder, and the lights got brighter and brighter. Finally, I came to the place where lights and music meet. This is a stage.
This is the stage of Sing Kee Theatre.
The composers wore white clothes and played music with numb faces.
In the middle of the stage, there was a woman dressed in plain clothes, with the makeup on her face gone and mottled, and crying constantly. She waved her sleeves and sang softly, and the music became more and more ghostly with her lament.
There were people sitting under the stage, neatly arranged, with white masks on their faces, without any expression, and sitting upright, as if they were zombies that had long since died.
I scanned the audience, and suddenly, I saw an acquaintance in the crowd. It turned out to be Shen Yao. He also saw me, so he waved to me.
I immediately walked over, walked from the side seat, walked to the side of Shen Yao, and sat down.
"Where have you been?" I asked.
"Shh." Shen Yao raised his finger at me mysteriously.
I wanted to say something else, but I saw the people around me turned to look at me. They were all wearing identical white masks with no facial features, and their eyes were full of fear.
Damn it, I turned around and saw that Shen Yao beside me had also put on a mask at some point. Their eyes were all focused on me, as if they wanted to shoot through my internal organs.
"Lover, lover, come here." Suddenly, the woman on the stage sang, and the others immediately sat upright. I raised my head in panic, and saw the woman on the stage looking at me.
"Come here." The woman said again.
Following the woman's words, the people next to me immediately picked me up, and then they carried me, singing a song as they walked towards the stage. I struggled hard, but to no avail, and was finally carried by them. When I got to the stage, someone came over and put me in a costume.
"I miss Li Daitao's stiffness and miss his body, I hate that he turned into rain and covered with clouds, I pity the pink and green duckweed. My tears stain my lapel, just like the fire of anointing in my heart, self-immolation from time to time in pain, self-immolation from time to time in pain."
The woman sang opera lyrics and came to me. Her makeup was completely gone, revealing her true appearance. It turned out to be Wu Ruolan. She looked at me sadly, her eyes full of love and affection.
"Self-immolation in times of suffering." Wu Ruolan shook her head as she said it, and suddenly there was an ax in her hand.
At this time, two people suddenly walked over and pressed my arms down, then pushed them to the ground.
"What are you doing?" I struggled hard, but the two people were very strong and held me down, and I couldn't break free at all.
Wu Ruolan walked over while singing, and then raised the ax in her hand. As her lyrics became louder and sadder, she swung it over in an instant.
Ah, I was shocked and opened my eyes.
There was silence in front of me. There was no stage, no lyrics, and no axe. My back was covered in cold sweat. The nightmare just now made me shiver all over, and I didn't recover for a long time.
"You're awake." Suddenly, someone next to me spoke.
I looked back and saw Wu Ruolan sitting next to me, looking straight at me.
"You, why are you here?" I shouted all of a sudden, and the nerves that had just relaxed suddenly became tense again.
"We found you at the door of Gulou. You fainted at the time." Wu Ruolan said.
"Wait, you, who are you now? Wu Ruozhu?" I suddenly remembered something.
"I am Ruolan. Shen Yao and the others helped me heal. Now I am just Wu Ruolan. My sister's personality is gone." Wu Ruolan said.
"Yes, we have already done it for her." At this time, Shen Yao walked in.
"W-when did this happen? Shen Yao, weren't you there at the time?" I was a little confused.
"What are you still talking about? You said that Ruolan's incident was initiated by you, but then you were nowhere to be seen. It's really irresponsible. By the way, when I went upstairs just now, the landlord seemed to have some objections to me. Jiji Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai, Ruolan, go and tell her for me, I will leave in a moment." Shen Yao said to Wu Ruolan.
"Okay, I'll go now." Wu Ruolan looked at me, then stood up and walked out.
Shen Yao walked over and closed the door, then listened at the door for a while, and finally walked over.
"What the hell are you doing?" I asked looking at him.
"It wasn't me who did it, it was us who did it." Shen Yao said with a frown.
"What do you mean?" I became more and more confused.
"Tell me where you were when Teacher Gu and I were at Chengji Theater?" Shen Yao asked.
"I was at the scene, but you didn't come!" I said.
"Lu An, we have known each other for many years, do you trust me?" Shen Yao looked at me seriously and asked.
"Nonsense, can I not believe you? What on earth are you going to say?" I looked at Shen Yao, wondering what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"I want to tell you that we treated Wu Ruolan at Chengji Theater, but you were not there. Do you believe it?" Shen Yao said.
"How is this possible? What time were you here?" When I heard this, I screamed.
"It's the time we agreed on. It's eight o'clock in the evening. Wu Ruolan will finish at about that time. We are always here, but you are not here." Shen Yao said.
"This is impossible. I was also at Cheng Kee Theater at eight o'clock. I was watching Wu Ruolan's performance. I even looked for you, but you were never there," I said.
"So, we fucking bumped into each other. This is unbelievable. How could we be at the Cheng Kee Theater at the same time, but not see each other? I also have people to prove it, Teacher Gu and the people we invited Everyone can prove that you were not there at that time. I called you but couldn't get through," Shen Yao said.
"I really can't prove it." I was stunned.
"No, you have a way to prove it." Shen Yao spoke, "When we came back, we found you fainted at the door of the lonely building. After sending you back, I picked up your phone and looked at it, and found that there were several videos on your phone. , I opened it and saw that it was Wu Ruolan singing on stage at Cheng Kee Theatre. I checked the recording time, and it happened to be around eight o'clock in the evening."
"Yes, I recorded that. I thought Wu Ruolan sang so well, so I recorded it." I suddenly remembered this incident.
"That's it. If you said the video was not recorded by you, we thought there might be something wrong with the video. Now that you have said that the video was recorded by you, how should we explain this?" Shen Yao said.
When Shen Yao said this, I was also confused. What on earth is going on?
"Not only this, Meng Jiajia also discovered something." Shen Yao said.
"What happened?" I asked.
At this time, the door suddenly rang, and Wu Ruolan pushed the door open and walked in. She didn't even knock on the door, her face was a little gloomy, as if she heard what we just said...
