Chapter 163: Murderous Intent Revealed, See You After The Show!
After setting up the layout, Su Chen went to the restaurant to have breakfast refreshed.
It is worth mentioning that he did not eat according to the rules today.
Insert the chopsticks on the rice bowl and make an offering.
Now that I have gained the favor of the little paper figurine, and I have healing rules beside me.
Then you can safely and boldly experiment, what will happen if you don't enshrine.
After eating and drinking enough, Su Chen felt that his physical condition had finally recovered.
So he stroked his round belly and walked to Estier's room while belching.
When he arrived, Estier happened to go out.
Apparently the meeting was over, and everyone had already dispersed.
Seeing Su Chen coming, Estier asked suspiciously.
"Why did you take in Momoka Sakurako?"
"Seeing that this little girl is more sincere, and also that Babu and her agree, so I accepted it.
Su Chen talked nonsense.
He didn't intend to tell Estier the truth.
Ian is not in the trap yet.
Of course, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.
"Since you think you can accept her, I don't want to comment too much, but I need to remind you to be careful that her purpose is not pure."
Estelle advised.
Su Chen waved his hand after listening.
"It's okay, since you think the rules are fine, it's useless for her to steal information."
"That's right, I was thinking too much."
Estelle laughed to himself.
"By the way, have you read the rules for tourists? What do you think?"
Su Chen continued to ask.
"The logic is completely correct and there are no loopholes. I think there should be no problems with this rule.
Hearing this, Su Chen felt happy.
This little girl really complied with the content of her couplet.
A wise man has a thousand worries, and there must be a doctor.
Like herself at first, she fell into a misunderstanding.
Look for loopholes in the perfect logic deliberately forged by others.
It's a ghost to find it!
However, Su Chen is not prepared to point out this.
After all, Estier still has to be a good role to help Ian firmly recognize the role.
"You're right, I'm a little shaken, but I still stick to my point of view, it's safer for us to investigate separately.
In order to prevent the other party from discovering the abnormality, Su Chen continued to use the previous statement.
"Well, listen to you."
"By the way, according to what you said, if there is no problem with the rules, then why does the supreme rule say that the condition for customs clearance is to survive?"
Su Chen acted in a complete set.
"I have also considered this. I guess the real danger may be that the continuous summoning of the little paper man will bore it. In the end, it will not be able to resist killing. After all, the supreme rule also said that it is to survive before the end. This may It's a hint."
After hearing this, Yin Chen smiled and didn't say much.
Since the logic of the other party's brain is self-consistent, there is no need to say anything else.
"You have a meeting today, did anyone find any new abnormalities?"
Su Chen changed the subject.
Estier frowned, and replied with a worried face.
"It's true. There are more contaminated patients, and there are many more people in the area we are responsible for. I doubt that this curse will really be contagious!"
"Why do you think so?"
"Because the little paper figurines are attracted by us, but tourists are polluted even more today. Doesn't it confirm the contents of the letter, the curse is contagious!"
After hearing this, Su Chen nodded without rebuttal.
Instead start thinking in your mind why this is happening.
Because he checked the situation of tourists being polluted yesterday.
I didn't feel that the pollution was contagious.
From this point of view, the answer is obvious.
It's not that the curse is contagious, but that there are more sources of pollution.
But why does this happen?
Where does the extra pollution come from?
If Poseidon really has a lot of pollution sources, why didn't they just invest all of them in the first night!
After thinking about it for a long time, I have no idea.
In the end, I had to suppress this thought.
"what's on your mind."?"
Seeing that Su Chen had been in deep thought, Estier asked.
"It's nothing, I just feel that bad things will happen if tourists are allowed to pollute like this. By the way, how is the patient who went to the infirmary yesterday?"
"I didn't see any improvement, but some of them became more serious, and my body began to fester."
Hearing this, Su Chen frowned.
If the polluted tourist sees a doctor, the injury will become more and more serious.
Wouldn't the infirmary be overturned by tourists making trouble?
In this way, the panic on board is bound to be stronger.
This kind of atmosphere is not in line with the captain's purpose of sneaking around and polluting all tourists!
Su Chen faintly felt that the captain and the others must have set up a big picture.
Just waiting for everyone to crash in.
At this time, Estier continued to ask.
"Are you going to heal them today?"
Su Chen shook his head.
"Don't worry, didn't the letter tell us to go to a performance today? He also said that after watching the performance, we will know how to cure the pollution from tourists."
"I'm going to see what the so-called cure for all tourists is before thinking about it."
Estelle nodded.
"I think so too, but I think this so-called cure must be very difficult, otherwise the letter wouldn't say that the captain is unwilling to use this method again.
Su Chen's face didn't change when he heard this, but he sighed in his heart.
How difficult it is!
I even think this is a big pit of the chain!
It can be imagined that more and more tourists are polluted.
Then the chosen ones who read the letter will definitely panic, fearing that it will be their turn after the tourists are polluted.
In this way, no matter how difficult this method of curing tourists is, they will try it.
The result is, unconsciously stepped into the trap.
For Su Chen, although he will not step into this trap.
But he can't stop others from doing it.
Be afraid, because Ian and the others fell into the trap, fulfilled the purpose of the captain and the others, and implicated themselves in it.
After all, he can't stand up now and say that the sea god is a wolf and the captain is an accomplice!
This is simply asking for death.
Su Chen estimated that as long as everyone watched this so-called performance.
The murderous intent that has been hanging over everyone's heads, hidden and hidden, is about to really come.
"Do you want to go to the show together? I see that the time is almost up, and it will start soon."
Su Chen suppressed the worries in his heart and asked in a normal manner.
"I'm getting ready to go."
"Let's go, let's talk while walking."
With that said, the two rushed towards the theater on the 15th floor.
Not long after, the two came to the theater.
Walked in with the staff badge.
The next moment, they were shocked by the wide stage.
"This theater is too big!"
Estelle sighed.
"Indeed, but this shows that the performance for a while must be a big scene.
"I'm looking forward to it."
As the two talked, Mai began to look for a seat.
Since the two of them came late, the seats in good positions were basically occupied at the moment.
While searching, Su Chen saw Babu waving his arms in the distance.
"I've got a seat, come to me!"
cried Babu.
Su Chen was overjoyed when he saw it, he called Estier and rushed over.
When he got closer, he found that the fragrant duck was also there.
I couldn't help joking a few words.
"Yo, the relationship progresses very quickly."
"Boss, don't make fun of me."
Babu, who was suffering in his heart but couldn't express it, said helplessly.
The next few people joked a few words, and the lights in the theater suddenly dimmed.
Seeing this, several people knew that the performance was about to start, so they stopped talking.
They turned their attention to the stage.
Not long after, with a rush of gongs and drums, the curtain on the stage opened.
Judging from the layout of the stage, this should be a coastal fishing village.
I saw a group of people dressed as fishermen in the ancient Long Kingdom, wearing scary wooden masks, singing and dancing around a huge sculpture of a raging sea.
Look at those funny exaggerated dance steps, as well as the sacrifices placed in front of the statue of the raging sea.
Su Chen's eyes couldn't help but tremble.
Although he doesn't know much about the ancient culture of the Dragon Kingdom.
But he also keenly discovered that this stage play actually incorporates elements of Nuo opera!
The so-called Nuo opera was born out of the Nuo dance of ancient Long Kingdom.
Later, it gradually evolved into a kind of artistic and cultural inheritance that entertains people.
It is worth mentioning that the two words "wu" and "wu" have the same origin, and they both describe dancing.
This can also be seen from the word "witch".
The horizontal line above is the sky.
The bottom is horizontal.
People connect heaven and earth, singing and dancing.
Aside from the content of myths such as Honghuang, in ancient times, "witch" specifically refers to people who can communicate with the gods of heaven and earth through dance in ancient times.
Here, the gods do not refer to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, but the spirits of nature.
Back to Nuo dance, Nuo dance, also known as ghost opera, is the oldest dance to entertain gods, worship gods and dance ghosts, drive away plagues and avoid epidemics, and express Anqing.
By wearing horrible masks, people achieve the purpose of overpowering evil and scaring away evil spirits.
With the passage of time, the form of Nuo dance has gradually been widely used in various Nuo rituals.
For example, exorcising Nuo, emperor's funeral, sacrifice, and even emperor's enthronement, wedding and so on.
And the Nuo opera performed on stage at this moment is a simulation of the scene of sacrifice.
People wearing strange masks are singing and dancing to entertain the gods.
Immediately afterwards, the scene on the stage changed.
People carried a small boat and walked towards the sea.
On the boat, there are a pair of boys and girls sitting.
The two little dolls didn't know what was going to happen, they were still holding the fruit and eating happily.
At this moment, a couple rushed out of the crowd, crying for the child to be returned to them.
But before they approached the boat, several burly men wearing scary masks stopped him.
As soon as these people grabbed the couple, they dragged them towards an old man at the altar.
The old man looked at the couple and said.
[Do you know that this move will offend the sea god?"
The couple didn't answer, but just cried for the baby to be returned to them.
"Sacrificing to the Sea God every year is a tradition since ancient times. The Sea God enjoys the offerings and blesses us with smooth sailing and a good harvest. You are not responsible to the whole village by doing this! Once the Sea God gets angry and no longer blesses us, you can bear the responsibility wake up?"
The old man asked sharply.
Facing the old man's accusations, the couple had nothing to say but wept.
Seeing this, the old man waved his hand, and the group of big men lifted the collapsed couple out of the crowd.
The farce is over, and people continue to carry out sacrificial activities.
They lowered the boat into the sea and gave it a little push.
Driven by the waves, the boat carrying the two children sailed towards the depths of the sea.
Until it was about to disappear on the sea level, a monstrous giant
The waves rise.
One after another, the boat was drawn into the deep sea.
Seeing this scene, the old man on the altar shouted with a broken voice.
"The sea god enjoys my offering! Promise to keep our village in good weather! Fishing and harvest!"
With this sound, the group of masked people began to sing and dance around the huge sculpture of the raging sea again.
Seeing this, Su Chen frowned tightly.
This is not right!
Even if he doesn't know too much about Wu Nuo culture, he can see that there is something wrong with this stage play!
First of all, it is undeniable that some horrible living sacrifices did exist in all countries in the world and in ancient times.
But this is in conflict with the culture of Wu Nuo.
The birth of Wu Nuo culture (Liao Qian's) is because human beings conquer nature and thrive, and seek spiritual sustenance.
It is not completely surrendering to nature.
The performance of this stage play is obviously that human beings are conquered by the ocean!
At the same time, Su Chen also discovered something wrong, that is, human beings enshrine the sea god.
In his memory, most of the Nuo ceremonies enshrine the Nuo Gong Nuo Po, who is the ancestor of human beings.
That pair of siblings who married for the sake of human reproduction.
This sea god is obviously not right!
At this moment, Momoka Sakura, who was sitting not far from Su Chen, let out an exclamation, interrupting Su Chen's meditation.
"Wow, this stage play actually adopts the culture of our Sakura country! There are Noh elements!"
Hearing this, Su Chen was not happy.
He retorted softly.
"Don't let everything belong to your family. I really think that wearing a mask is your Noh play?"
"Tell you, this is the traditional Wu Nuo culture of our Dragon Kingdom, and even your family's Noh drama is learned from our Dragon Kingdom."
Hearing this, Tao Xiangyingzi obviously didn't believe it, but due to Su Chen's identity, she didn't dare to refute, so she just kept her mouth shut.
At the same time, the viewers of Longguo who were watching the live broadcast were also frantically swiping on the barrage.
"Snatch everything! Everything belongs to your family! You are really capable, and you announced that Long Kingdom is also your Sakura family! You can't beat you to death!"
"Hey, actually, I have to say that our younger generation really doesn't pay enough attention to many ancient Dragon Kingdom cultures, which has caused the current situation!"
"The old man upstairs has a classic 'Reflection on People'. If you don't pay attention, it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't pay attention. Let's open the map gun!"
"Well said, brothers recommend a stage play for you, Pingtan Impression, there is also elements of Nuo opera, search for the promotional video, it is guaranteed to shock you crazy!"
"I'll take a look, the promotion of Dragon Kingdom culture starts with me!"
