When I pushed open the door, what caught my eye was an empty ballroom. Not only was the stage empty, but the auditorium below the stage was also empty. There was no one there.
Six players walked into the ballroom.
This ballroom is not very big and can accommodate about 500 people.
There are lights all around the dance hall. The dim lights allow players to have a panoramic view of the entire dance hall.
They went backstage first.
The backstage was also empty, with no one else there.
"There are still ten minutes until three o'clock in the afternoon." Lu Haidi reminded them and looked towards the auditorium. The seats were empty and there was still no one in sight.
According to what was written on the note, there would be audiences to watch their performance, but what kind of audiences they would be has not yet been revealed.
After all, he won't suddenly turn into a living person, right
Gu Jiu looked around the ballroom and didn't see anything unusual. She turned her attention to the other three players who were about to perform on stage. She said, "Are there any additional conditions for the roles you will play later? I'm an injured dancer."
Lu Haidi's mind was slightly moved, and he said, "I am a performer of death music."
The other two players looked at each other and said, "I am a singer with a damaged voice."
"I am a clown trapped in madness."
After the four of them finished speaking, their expressions were not very good, because the roles they played were very problematic. It was clearly a death trap and they had no idea how to avoid it.
Gu Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's just act according to circumstances later."
The other three male players nodded silently.
At 15:00, four players came on stage on time.
The lights on the stage suddenly brightened, shining on the four people.
Lu Ji and Ruan Yuan hid behind the stage, closely watching the situation in the ballroom. When the stage lights came on, they suddenly discovered that the empty auditorium was suddenly full of people.
It's like it appeared out of thin air.
I don’t know if it’s because the lights on the stage are the only ones on in the entire ballroom and everywhere else is dark, so the audience in the auditorium also look like people in the dark and I can’t see their faces clearly.
Don't even know if they are human.
Lu Haidi and others felt their eyes hurt by the sudden bright light and closed their eyes subconsciously.
Gu Jiu narrowed his eyes and accurately saw the scene of chaos in the audience seats below. In the darkness, there was a group of black figures with dark red mysterious light on their bodies. They faced the direction of the stage, waving their hands, with shouting expressions on their faces, as if asking the people on the stage to perform quickly.
This scene was like a pantomime, silent yet noisy.
Gu Jiu quickly reminded: "The performance has begun, hurry up."
After saying that, she sat down softly on the ground, stroking her feet with one hand, and made a very exaggerated expression of pain on her face.
The other three people's eyes were blinded by the stage lights. Before they could see clearly what was happening under the stage, they saw her movements and were stunned for a moment.
"Why not hurry up?"
Gu Jiu's voice sounded impatiently. The three of them didn't have time to think too much and hurried to find their own seats.
Lu Haidi sat in front of the only piano on the stage, while the other two male players stood, one next to the piano and the other farther away. After all, the singers and the clown did not have designated positions on the stage and they chose their own seats.
It is quite unique that a stage can bring together dancers, performers, singers and clowns.
They suspected that the audience had no idea what art was, which was why they came up with such a weird combination.
Then, they didn’t know what to do.
"Start playing!" Gu Jiu reminded them. He thought that these C-level players were too stupid to even have this little on-the-spot reaction.
If Lu Haidi and the others heard this, they would definitely defend themselves.
They were still figuring out the roles they were to play, and had no idea how to act or how to react to avoid the death trap.
Fortunately, Lu Haidi was experienced and reacted quickly, but when he saw the piano in front of him, he was at a loss again.
As a tough guy, he doesn't know how to play something as elegant as the piano, let alone play death music. Could it be that when he dies, he will use his body to crush out the music
There was no choice but to bite the bullet and randomly play the black and white piano.
Chaotic and extremely harsh piano music sounded on the stage. It could not be called music at all. Lu Haidi pressed the black and white keys randomly while keeping alert and paying attention to the surrounding situation at all times.
As he kept pressing the keys, he suddenly felt an invisible force guiding his hands. The chaotic piano sounds gradually turned into smooth music, but the music was extremely cold, like a taut string or torn silk, full of murderous intent, stimulating the brain and driving people crazy.
Lu Haidi's hands moved quickly on the black and white piano keys, but his expression was horrified.
The musician and clown next to them were also stunned. As the terrible music sounded, they found themselves unable to control themselves.
The performer opened his mouth and let out a hoarse sound, like a shout, or like venting. He wanted to stop himself from opening his mouth, but found that he was unable to stop it. His throat hurt as if it was being scraped by a sharp blade. The pain was unbearable.
The clown had gone crazy. He lay on the ground, banging his head against the ground, causing it to bleed. Tears and snot came out, and he cried uncontrollably.
Although the mind is clear, the body cannot be controlled and performs crazy actions.
The only calm person present was Gu Jiu.
She still remained sitting on the ground, one hand on her leg, pretending to be injured, her eyes slightly narrowed, staring at the audience below the stage.
She is an injured dancer, so isn't it normal for her to directly act injured when she goes on stage
Soon after the music representing death started, she also felt a force controlling her body, making her stand up and start dancing.
Gu Jiu remained very calm, allowing the force to pull her body, her eyes fixed on the stage.
The more painful the performers on the stage are, the crazier the audience becomes.
They waved their hands and cheered and shouted enthusiastically to the performers on the stage. Although their faces could not be seen clearly, it could be seen from the dancing of their bodies that the audience was extremely happy and delighted by the performance that was about to end in death.
And the dark red mysterious light on the audience told her that they were not human.
Seeing the appearance of the four people on the stage, Ruan Yuan in the backstage was extremely anxious. If it weren't for an invisible barrier blocking her, she would have almost wanted to rush onto the stage.
"What should we do?" Ruan Yuan said anxiously, "There is a force pulling their bodies, and they can't get rid of it at all."
Lu Ji didn't say anything, his black eyes fixed on the person dancing on the stage.
Her figure is soft and slender, and her waist is so thin that it seems like it will break with a slight bend. Every time she twists her body or bends, her back forms a beautiful arc, which is so graceful that it attracts everyone's attention.
Every movement she makes is beautiful, and her dance is graceful and delicate, like a dancing butterfly.
But every time she spun, she would stagger, as if her foot was injured and she was unable to spin smoothly and freely, which made people feel distressed.
Ruan Yuan suddenly turned to look at Lu Ji. Seeing that she was staring at the stage, she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried about your companions?"
After entering the game last night, she specifically observed all the players and found that the two girls had a good relationship and their auras were very clean, so she chose them as the test objects today.
There is nothing wrong with her probing, which can be regarded as a kind of information exchange. Moreover, every time she chooses a partner, she chooses those with good character and personality. If they are trustworthy, they can form a short-term cooperation.
Seeing Lu Ji's calm expression at this moment, she couldn't help but wonder if she had sensed it wrongly. Are the two girls actually not on good terms
Lu Ji said calmly: "I believe in Ajiu."
"Hmm?" Ruan Yuan frowned.
Before she could ask more questions, the situation on the stage suddenly changed.
Gu Jiu, who was spinning, leaped to the side, and a sharp dagger stabbed down from the top of her head. If Gu Jiu did not dodge, the dagger would go straight to her crown and pierce her head.
Ruan Yuan was so shocked that her round eyes widened.
What surprised her even more was that after Gu Jiu jumped to the side, his body had regained its freedom of movement. He reached out and pulled out the dagger that was stuck on the stage, ran towards Lu Haidi and the others, and used the dagger to slash the black and white keys of the piano, disrupting the death music that was being played.
Then she kicked the singer, who was opening his mouth as if being strangled, and with her other hand she grabbed the clown's head and pressed it against the piano.
This series of actions was smooth and neat, not only interrupting the death music, but also freeing the three people from the bondage of that inexplicable force.
The changes on the stage instantly made the audience explode.
The audience suddenly stood up from their seats and shouted something frantically towards the stage, protesting against her for ruining the performance.
Gu Jiu held the dagger, looked at the crowd of demons dancing in the audience, and shouted: "What are you arguing about? If you want to argue, come up and argue. I will argue with you!"
The audience who were waving their hands in protest seemed to be strangled and their movements became stiff.
Lu Haidi and the other two were still kneeling on the ground, gasping loudly. Only she stood there, facing the audience arrogantly under the bright lights, her soft and beautiful face as cold as frost.
Ruan Yuan couldn't help but cover her chest, her round eyes could only accommodate the figure of the person on the stage.
Oh my god, this guy is so domineering and cool!
Even a woman can't stand it!
Due to Gu Jiu's sudden outburst of power, the lights on the stage finally went out, dim lights lit up around the ballroom, and the dark shadows in the audience disappeared like smoke.
Everyone looked over again and found that the entire ballroom was empty and quiet again. Where was the dark shadow
Noticing that the barrier had disappeared, Ruan Yuan quickly ran over, helped Lu Haidi up from the ground, and asked distressedly, "Brother Lu, are you okay?"
Lu Haidi shook his head. He was just a little exhausted, but he was not seriously injured.
The conditions of the other two male players were more serious. One had such a sore throat that he couldn't speak and would cough up blood whenever he opened his mouth. The other had a bleeding head and had suffered a concussion.
Lu Ji walked over and looked at Gu Jiu's leg, "Is your foot okay?"
Gu Jiu leaned against her and said tiredly, "I'm so tired, and my feet hurt a little... Ah Ji, my feet didn't hurt before, but I didn't expect that when I was dancing just now, I was restrained by that force and it hurt my feet."
Lu Ji reached out and supported her, "You should pretend that your hand is injured, so that it won't affect your walking."
"Yes, I played the role of an injured dancer, and I didn't say that it must be a foot injury." Gu Jiu suddenly realized that she was stupid for once, and soon she didn't care anymore, "Forget it, if it was a hand injury, it wouldn't be good to lie on the ground when I went on stage earlier."
Hearing this, Ruan Yuan asked curiously: "Miss, did you pretend to be injured on purpose before? Did it work?"
"It's useless." Gu Jiu said casually.
"So how did you get out of control?"
Not only was Ruan Yuan curious, but the other players were also extremely curious. They were glad that if she hadn't gotten rid of the control and helped them get rid of it, they would have had no choice but to use the substitute card to get out. However, there was only one substitute card, and if it was used up this time, if there were any death trap performances later, they might really die.
Gu Jiu said: "I used props."
Everyone: “…” Okay, it turns out to be a prop, that makes sense.
After completing today's filming task, everyone left the ballroom exhausted and returned to the lobby on the first floor.
Seven players have gathered in the hall. Their conditions are also not very good. Some have blood stains on their clothes, and some are in low spirits.
Seeing the six people appearing with support, the players didn't pay much attention to them. They just took a look and continued to rest.
Gu Jiu felt a dull pain in her legs, which made her frown and feel bad.
This was truly an unexpected disaster, which could have been avoided, but because she had to play the role of an injured dancer, her foot was injured as well. If the audience members had not run fast before, she would have been unable to resist performing her unique skill of tearing ghosts apart with her bare hands.
"Um, I have a healing patch here, do you want it?"
A weak voice sounded, and Gu Jiu looked at the person who spoke. It was the male player who played the clown just now.
Seeing his head covered in blood, Gu Jiu felt a little sympathetic and asked, "Is this thing useful?"
"It's useful. I bought it from Unbounded City. It can heal minor injuries. Stick it on the painful part of your foot and it will heal quickly." After the clown player finished explaining, he added, "Thank you for what you did just now. If it weren't for you, I would have had to use the Stand Card."
Although he had already thanked her in the ballroom, the clown player felt that he had to show some appreciation.
Gu Jiu took the healing patch with peace of mind. Just as she was about to bend down to lift her skirt, Lu Ji had already helped her pull the hem of her skirt up slightly, took off her boots, and applied the healing patch to the painful area.
The pain in my feet soon disappeared.
A look of surprise appeared on Gu Jiu's face. It turned out that the things in Wujie City were so useful
However, even though she knew that the things in Boundless City were very useful, she couldn't afford them at the moment with her previous wealth as a D-level player, so she was too lazy to pay attention to the goods in Boundless City. If she wanted to buy anything, she could only wait until her points accumulated.
Lu Ji checked her feet, and after finding that her feet didn't hurt, he helped her put her shoes back on.
She felt a little annoyed because she had never thought of preparing these little gadgets because she never got hurt. If she had prepared them, Gu Jiu wouldn't have to use other men's healing patches.
Inexplicably unhappy.
