"We made it, Jenkins."
He vaguely heard Hathaway talking in his ear, but Jenkins is still not fully awake, it seems that he really needs to pay attention to rest recently.
After the curtain was drawn, the gas lamps overhead had already been turned on, and the actors of the opera troupe had to call five times before ending.
The critics stood together and discussed loudly, while the reporters dispersed backstage to interview the actors. While Jenkins sat on the seat and massaged his temples, people still tried to get close to him, but they were all stopped by Mr. Nelly's bodyguards.
"Mr. Williams, I don't know how to praise your talent anymore."
Perhaps a tenth of the excitement of the fat businessman was genuine. He must have seen that script and earlier previews. After the initial excitement subsided, all he could show was acting.
But he was able to show this emotion, which also showed that he was really praising Jenkins, and Jenkins was willing to have a few words of hypocrisy with him.
"No, no, if my talent is not complemented by your opera troupe, I certainly can't show such a perfect effect."
The hypocritical men talked about hypocrisy, and Hathaway and Britney went backstage to meet the actors.
And when Jenkins finally finished his conversation with Mr. Nelly and agreed to come to join him at the first performance, he had no idea where his girlfriends had gone.
Most of the people in the opera house were concentrated in the backstage now, and he didn't want to squeeze in to join in the fun, so he sat in the front seat of the auditorium. He planned to go there before there were fewer people, or the two ladies came out to look for him by themselves.
The plan worked, and he didn't even have to wait three minutes before he saw Hathaway walking from behind the stage with her skirt in hand. Instead of taking the steps at the side of the stage, she walked straight to the edge of the center.
There was some distance from the ground, and Hathaway was wearing high heels now, so she obviously couldn't jump off.
The red-haired girl looked at Jenkins with a smile, Jenkins nodded, stood up and put the cat in his arms, and then climbed onto the stage neatly.
That way she doesn't have to come down.
"Where's Britney? Still behind?"
he asked curiously.
"I'm talking to the leading actor, Ms. Jin, in the back. I think I'll be here soon. Congratulations, the script is a success."
"Congratulations to you too, the music is also very successful."
The next second he regretted mentioning the word music, because Hathaway immediately asked:
"Have you considered the proposal last time?"
Now playing dumb and asking "what's the proposal" is the most embarrassing answer. But Jenkins didn't know what answer he should give at this moment, more precisely, a more perfect answer.
"Why, do you still want me to beg you like last time?"
Hathaway continued to ask, still with a smile on her face, which made it difficult for Jenkins to guess her true intentions.
At this moment, the two were standing on that grand stage, with a red curtain behind them and a spacious auditorium in front of them. And the lights above their heads hadn't been turned off yet, somehow they all shone on them.
Jenkins felt a little hot.
If Hathaway got down on one knee again at this moment, holding Jenkins' hand and making a plea, then the picture is really unimaginable.
"I promise that I will not abandon the performer. My guide said that it is strange. It is best to keep it for a while."
Chocolate's head finally opened the front button of Jenkins' suit, and the cat's head was exposed. It vigilantly observed the surrounding situation, and then looked at Hathaway with a cat's paw mouse expression—even though it never caught mice.
"But this ability is completely useless if you keep it. If you can't use it, it will only hinder you. According to my understanding, Jenkins, your knowledge of music is as shallow as my knowledge of great gods."
As he spoke, he wanted to hold Jenkins' hand. Jenkins shrank back subconsciously, knowing that if he didn't do something, the lady in front of him would not let it go.
"About music, I actually have a shallow understanding. Yes, I once obtained inexplicable revelations in...dreams. You should know that I have received revelations many times, and people in the church believe that it is the favor of sages reason."
This is an excuse to the outside world. It can not only cover up the talent that does not belong to the original owner Jenkins, but also explain why he is favored by the Church of the Sages.
"Yes, knowledge of music is also knowledge. I'm sorry, I don't mean that the sage intends to get involved in the priesthood of the great and wonderful music, but I have indeed heard a few beautiful songs superficially."
He continued to explain, but he felt that his words were a little sensitive, and he felt that he had wrapped himself in for a while.
Hathaway just looked at him and explained that if Jenkins didn't come up with some evidence, she would take everything she said just now as an excuse.
"Please don't resist, let me prove it."
Seeing no one around, Mr. Writer was in the center of the stage. On the right sleeve of the black formal suit, two winding silver bands of light formed little by little.
The band of light is like a gurgling brook, which gradually turns into a rushing river from the right arm, and countless overlapping images, words and more indescribable things flow in these two rivers.
Hathaway is not the owner of these two light bands, so she cannot discern the specific information in them. But she can at least feel the horror of those two things, especially one of them, just focus on it to analyze, there will be an illusion that the world wants to destroy itself.
She subconsciously leaned back, but remembering who was standing opposite her, she immediately pretended to be calm and composed. Chocolate, which only showed the furry cat's head, stared wide-eyed to observe the things in the light band, especially one of them. The knowledge and information in it were really interesting.
[Knowledge Bestowment] is originally the ability to share knowledge, but he has always regarded it as a must-kill skill. Get rid of this time, and only when purifying the evil spirit that entangled Mr. Nellie did it really play its role. At this moment, it will help Jenkins get rid of the awkward dialogue. This is the first time that Jenkins has shared the knowledge of the other world with the living people in this world in this way.
He took the initiative to take a step forward to get closer, and seeing that Hathaway didn't dodge, he flicked his fingers slightly, and flicked some of the silver light fragments into Hathaway's forehead. In order to avoid hurting the girl, Jenkins only selected a very small amount of memory, and also processed it with the identity of "Jenkins Williams" in this world to prevent knowledge from different rules from causing harm.
This was obviously useful. Hathaway's expression changed from doubt to relief. After slowly closing her eyes, she did not show any pain.
