Ren Li glanced at Pei Jingling sideways, and sneered with an unexplained sneer: "Tie them together?"

Pei Jingling seemed to have not seen it, her eyelashes were slightly closed, covering her eyes, she pressed her fist to her lips, and coughed lightly.

Ren Li's face sank a little, then looked at Bai Xutong again, and asked in a deep voice, "One-way or two-way? Do both people agree when signing?"

Bai Xutong is a little confused about what Ren Li means, isn't he really thinking about signing a soul contract by himself? !

She said cautiously: "The contract... Of course, both people have to agree! But whoever gives his soul to whom, is one-way."

Ren Li was sure that there was nothing about the soul contract in his existing memory, and continued to ask: "How do you see whether this contract has been signed?"

"It looks like a player who gave his soul, so what mark will he leave on his heart?" Bai Xutong didn't expect that he had misled the topic, so he was glad, and quickly added, "But I didn't sign it, I It’s also hearsay, and I don’t know much about it…”

Pei Jingling stared at her with half-squinted eyes, her eyes were cold, but the corners of her lips were smiling, her voice was cold, and she smiled lazily: "Don't be so modest, I think you know a lot."

Under this delicate and beautiful smile, Bai Xutong clearly felt the threat of the coming wind and rain.

One sang the white face, the other sang the black face, and Bai Xutong cried out in his heart.

Ren Li's phalanx slammed on the white jade tabletop, turned to look at Pei Jingling, lowered his voice, and said sternly, "How dare you laugh?!"

Facing Ren Li, Pei Jingling immediately let go of his aura, resting his chin on his hand, lying on the table, looking at him with aggrieved expression: "Why are you killing me again..."

"Don't pretend to be good." Ren Li took care of Bai Xutong next to him. He didn't say it clearly. He just stretched out his hand and squeezed Pei Jingling's slightly puffed cheek because he was lying on his stomach. He gritted his teeth, "Go back and see how I clean up you."

Pei Jingling's cheeks flushed, her eyelashes trembled, her moist eyes looked at Ren Li, looking extremely innocent, and said obediently, "Oh."

Bai Xutong, who was sitting on the side, was stunned: "...???"

No, where exactly is Huo Qing standing? Why did you suddenly start scolding Song Rusheng after targeting yourself

But seeing that they didn't bring up the previous topic, Bai Xutong also kept his mouth shut and didn't interrupt.

"Boom, boom! boom, boom!"

They were chatting here, and the game progressed with time, only the loud drums and the sound of the golden gongs were heard, reminding the audience that today's play was about to begin.

The lobby was silent for a moment, then louder applause and cheers erupted, and everyone looked very excited.

When the business came, Ren Li retracted his hand, and Pei Jingling got up seriously, got up from the table, sat up straight, and looked at the stage below.

The curtain was slowly pulled away, revealing the stage scene, with a table and a chair simply placed on the stage.

Hua Dan came to the stage slowly from the side of the stage, accompanied by the bang flute, lightly opened his lips, and gestured, and sang the scene: "Dream back to Ying Shao, chaos is everywhere, people set up a small courtyard. The deep courtyard…”

""The Peony Pavilion: A Dream in the Garden"! I like listening to this play the most! Hahaha, I can catch up this time!"

"Liuyun sings well! It's so nice!"

"Didn't I hear that Liu Xiaoyu wasn't the former pillar of the Guangde Opera Troupe? Why didn't he sing Du Liniang in this play?"

"Hey, you can take it for a while. How can you just sing it well? You have to be supported by an uncle... I heard that Liu Xiaoyu is playing Xie Liuyun's maid this time."

"And other things?"

"… "

There was a lot of noise below, cheers and gossip chatter and laughter were endless, and the atmosphere was very good.

Kunqu Opera stretches, and Hua Dan sang it for nearly two minutes with just these three lines.

Bai Xutong was leaning on the sofa, thinking about where they were sitting now, no one could see her. She didn't pretend to be emotional, and her face that was never interested gradually turned into impatience.

Ren Li and Pei Jingling still looked attentively, but they were not watching the play, but using the excellent view on the second floor to search for people who might be players and pay close attention to the changes in the game.

But so far, nothing out of the ordinary.

When Hua Dan was walking around and was about to finish singing the sentence "People set up a small courtyard and a deep courtyard", a man in the appearance of a maid was suddenly pushed onto the stage from the backstage.

He was pushed and staggered for several steps, and when he reached the center of the stage, he almost lost his footing.

The accompanying music continued, but he didn't sing anything. He stood on the stage completely bewildered, glanced at Hua Dan who played Du Liniang in a panic, and then glanced at the boss who pushed him to the stage backstage.

His limbs seemed to freeze, and he stood nervously on the stage, daring not to go up or down, and frantically looked at the audience below.

Even with the thick dramatic makeup on his face, it was obvious that he was dazed and overwhelmed.

Ren Li and Pei Jingling sat up instantly.

Pei Jingling narrowed his eyes slightly: "This should be a player."

Ren Li made an "um" and said in a deep voice, "This player should be playing 'Liu Xiaoyu' in this world."

Bai Xutong raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Xiaoyu, who was standing in the middle of the stage at a loss, and sighed: "His luck is too bad, to be selected for such a hard-core role, it would be difficult to think of OOC. Fortunately, I am a concubine... "

The expressions of Ren Li and Pei Jingling did not soften. In a dungeon, the initial difficulty for each player should be almost the same, and maybe they will fall into such a situation that cannot be solved at all.

Just as they sighed for two or three sentences, the accompanying music that had never stopped suddenly stopped, and Hua Dan sat on the chair without moving.

The hilarious audience below also suddenly calmed down. No matter what expression they had before, Qi Qi has now turned into an expressionless face, all of them looking at "Liu Xiaoyu" on the stage.

The entire theater fell silent for a moment.

Ren Li and Pei Jingling also tensed their faces and observed the situation below calmly.

Now no one knows how the NPC will react after the player OOC.

The sudden absolute silence, hundreds of expressionless faces, and the silent stares of hundreds of pairs of dark eyes made Liu Xiaoyu feel like he was about to suffocate, and his whole body was shaking.

He wanted to run off the stage quickly, but his legs were so weak that he could barely stand.

He stood alone on the stage, his whole body was being abused inch by inch by their dark, straight eyes, his hands were clenched into fists in a panic, his eyes were in a panic, his eyes glanced back and forth, and his throat kept swallowing. saliva.

In just ten seconds, a layer of sweat was secreted on his forehead, and soon the sweat droplets condensed into water droplets, which flowed down from the forehead along the face. .

The muscles on Liu Xiaoyu's face twitched uncontrollably, her voice trembling violently: "What do you want to do..."

There was only his voice in the empty hall, and the only response to him was silence and his own faint echo.

The atmosphere was oppressive.

Ren Li frowned, and Pei Jingling's face became very serious.

All the players in the theater are watching closely how the "unlucky" player will be punished.

"Dong Dong Qiang!"

I don't know how long it was silent, but suddenly the accompanying music next to the stage played the big drum and the golden gong again, breaking the depressing atmosphere of silence.

Along with the drums and gongs, the flute player resumed the melody, continuing from where he stopped just now.

Hua Dan also picked up the orchid finger again, made an expression on her face, and babbled to the empty hall and sang: "Dawn come to look at the Meiguan Pass, Su makeup is disabled..."

The audience below seemed to be recalled by Hua Dan's voice, the numb expressions on their faces all became vivid, and the dead eyes staring at Liu Xiaoyu also became soft and crazy.

The frolic and cheers resumed, filling the theater.

"Good singing! It's so good! Sure enough, Liu Xiaoyu sang the best in Guangde Theater!"

"As expected of a pillar, singing a maid's play is also good! Xie Liuyun, I can't hold it!"

"Bah, I thought we Liuyun sang better!"

"… "

Everyone happily discussed the scene on the stage and the gossip of several famous actors. A few servants walked out of the backstage, carrying a basket with the name of the actor in his hand, and there were flowers in it. Whoever liked it would buy which basket of flowers.

Some listeners with spare money and listeners who especially like a certain corner began to buy flowers.

The faction below was harmonious, as if nothing had happened just now.

If you players haven't forgotten the dead silence just now and didn't see Liu Xiaoyu, who was still stunned and shaking like chaff on the stage.

Liu Xiaoyu stood on the stage in a daze, her mouth opened, her eyes horrified, and she shouted in panic, "Am I crazy, or are you crazy?!"

There was another frenzy of applause and applause.

The player looked at the enthusiastic audience below who were calling him "Liu Xiaoyu", his brain was already in chaos, and he didn't understand what was going on now.

And Hua Dan, who was playing against him, didn't seem to see him in a daze, and gave him a beautiful hand in hand, looked at him, shyly cast his eyes, and continued to sing: "The cutting is constant, the rationale is still messy, and the boring is unreasonable. …”

Liu Xiaoyu stood on the stage, no matter how he shouted or howled, and even summoned up the courage to kick the prop table over, everyone didn't react to his actions, just listened to the play fascinatedly.

Bai Xutong, who was sitting upstairs, was stunned. He felt an inexplicable chill hit his upper body. He shuddered and asked in a low voice, "Fuck... what's the situation?"

Pei Jingling leaned back on the sofa, and said in a cool voice, "I've heard of "A Dream in the Garden", and the lyrics and rhythm of this Huadan are all sung with the cooperation of the maids."

"In other words, all the NPCs ignored him..." Ren Li paused and said solemnly, "No, it automatically completes his activities."

"And it's complemented by the character of the character 'Liu Xiaoyu'."

Pei Jingling nodded slightly and said casually, "This player has lost his role and significance in the game, and can't live anymore."

Bai Xutong closed the cloak, trying to dispel the cold.

Ren Li's eyes darkened a bit, and he said softly, "Since there are no players who deal with OOC immediately, then..."

He and Pei Jingling looked at each other and spit out four words: "Execution at midnight."
