Chapter 3 Theater Performances

Looking at Marianne's retreating back and thinking about the theater director's attitude, Karl was very sure that something was wrong.

He knew very well that he, the original owner of his body, was definitely not someone who deserved such treatment due to his abilities.

Faced with this inexplicable development, his confused brain could hardly guess what would happen next.

"Am I being asked out?"

How is it possible? The appearance of this body is just that of an ordinary person. There is nothing to attract a girl, let alone a beauty of this level to fall in love with her.

Karl couldn't help but think of Edward, the owner of the theater just now. His enthusiasm when receiving him was a bit too much. We are all strangers who have never been in contact with each other, why do we have such an attitude towards ourselves?

"Anyway, let's go and have a look tonight. I don't expect to have an affair or anything like that, but something will happen, right?"

Although things are getting more and more bizarre, Karl still feels that it would be better to follow the development of things, and at least he might be able to understand the situation he is in now.

So after sitting in the lounge for two minutes, Karl got up and went to the largest theater, intending to watch the play being performed first.

The show being performed in the theater is "The Rumor School", which is one of the seven major works of the British playwright Sheridan. This play has achieved good results on the stage and is even regarded as a masterpiece second only to Shakespeare.

.

The main story it tells is that Mrs. Schnievel and a group of aristocratic men and women enjoy spreading rumors and causing trouble, specifically destroying other people's reputations and family happiness. For this reason, Mrs. Schnievel's home has become a "rumor school"

”.

Part of the content is that one night at a party at Mrs. Pontau's house, the topic turned to the difficulties of breeding Nova Scotian sheep in this country. One of the ladies slandered Miss Lydia for marrying a Nova Scotian sheep and offered her

A pair of twins were born.

It is this part of the plot that is playing out on stage now.

However, as for the performances of the actors on the stage, as long as you look at them with your eyes and listen with your ears, you can see that the acting skills of the actors on the stage are really terrible.

His movements were like a marionette's, stiff and rigid; his voice when reciting his lines was like a crow's wail, hoarse and unpleasant.

But there is only one person who is different, and that is Marianne, who plays the protagonist.

The slightly exaggerated movements when performing in dramas appear natural and expressive under her performance. Her sweet voice is like an oriole out of the valley. The right voice is delivered to everyone in the theater without being too loud.

It won’t make people on the fringe unable to hear clearly.

And as the plot progresses, Marianne's talking eyes are constantly conveying her emotions to the audience. She is simply a natural actor.

Seeing Marianne's performance on the stage, Carl couldn't help but have this idea in his mind.

But when he broke away from the idea of ​​watching the drama and looked around the hall.

The scene he saw made him feel seriously uncomfortable.

At this time, the audience's reaction to this performance was chilling. Each of them was smiling, ignoring the poor acting skills of others, and seemed to only have eyes for Marianne.

You must know that although Marianne's performance is extremely good, but mixed with other people's poor performances, watching this drama gives people the feeling of suddenly losing power while taking a bath at night, and then falling into the darkness all wet.

It also makes people feel intensely uncomfortable.

It would be fine if it were just some men admiring Marianne's beauty, but everyone in the audience, men, women, old and young, all had the same expression. How is this possible?

Karl is now very sure that he is involved in some strange crisis. Apart from himself, he can't even confirm whether there are any living humans around him!

"Tsk."

Without any hesitation, Karl immediately left the theater where the performance was taking place. He originally planned to stay in the theater for a while to see what would happen.

But after watching the performance just now, any talk of beauties throwing themselves into their arms or any search for the truth of the matter have all gone away!

Sure enough, your own life is the most important now!

Leaving this dangerous place immediately is the first priority.

Karl thought like this, and walked towards the theater door according to his memory when he came. He must leave here immediately, and wait until he is safe to talk about work and other things!

However, what Karl didn't know was that after he walked out of the theater, both the audience and the actors on the stage stopped moving at the same time and became silent.

At the same time, their heads were all looking towards the place where Green disappeared. Hundreds of expressionless people stared there in unison, motionless.

There was only one exception, and that was Marianne, who was still performing. She seemed not to notice the changes in the theater, she was still intoxicated in her performance, and she didn't care about other people's reactions!

When Carl followed his memory and came to the theater door, a new problem thwarted his escape plan.

The door that was supposed to be here has disappeared, and now there is only a cold wall facing him where he should have gone out!

"What's going on?"

Karl was sure that he was not going the wrong way. You must know that this theater has only one main aisle on each floor. The deconstruction of the circle means that even if you go in the wrong direction, you can still get back here.

But now the question arises, where is the door?

Maybe I misremembered the location?

Carl tried to convince himself and continued walking down the corridor.

It wasn't until he walked around the entire theater three times and returned here again that he was 100% sure that this theater no longer had a door.

Walking closer to the wall, Karl carefully inspected the wall. It was indeed a intact wall. It was not a disguise like a curtain, nor was it a new wall that had just been built. There was no difference between it and the surrounding walls.

, it seems that it has been a real wall standing here since it was built!

"What's going on here that doesn't want me to get out?"

Faced with this fact, Karl stood there helplessly. He did not have the ability to knock down a high wall with one punch. He had no choice but to face this situation.

etc!

Karl suddenly remembered something!

Then he immediately started to run wildly, rushing into the room assigned to him without looking back. It seemed that it was the only place that would bring him a sense of security.

After closing and locking the door, Karl collapsed on the ground with his back against the wall, gasping for air.
Chapter completed!
