Chapter 400 Read "The King in Yellow" (10,000-word chapter, please order)(2/4)

In the first scene of the second act, Qin Zhibo’s impression after watching the film was still dull.

Adonis is still scheming, but Cassilda has lost her aloof demeanor as a queen and punishes weirdos crazily.

If the will can be investigated, Cassilda should also be gradually entering madness.

As for the white blood oozing out of the weirdo, this means that the weirdo is not a human being, but some other creature.

This reminded Qin Zhibo of MI-GO again. A white liquid would flow out of the seemingly dead MI-GO's body, and this white liquid would quickly fade over time until it turned into an almost transparent oil.

After thinking for a short time, Qin Zhibo took advantage of the intermission to move his head freely and hurriedly looked at where Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan were sitting just now.

However, there was no one there at this time. Not only that, the seats in the entire theater were also many empty.

Among the helpless audience, Qin Zhibo saw another familiar person.

Ghana beauty release

Kanami sat on the seat in the third row, leaning slightly forward, with her beautiful eyes fixed on the dark stage that had temporarily come to an end due to the intermission.

At this time, the curtain on the stage opened again, and Qin Zhibo's eyes were forced to the stage again.

The end begins.

Act two, scene two.

It started with an insignificant conversation between two guards, and then Queen Cassilda appeared.

She fell into infinite grief, because she already knew that it was her order to execute all the prisoners in the city that killed the third prince who was imprisoned for forging documents.

Cassilda collapsed on the throne in pain, while Adonis continued to slander, saying that it was the third prince who had been arrested under the order of the second princess, and there was no doubt that she was a traitor.

As for the person behind the scenes who instigated Camilla, it was the high priest. It was the high priest who saw that the second princess was prone to being emotional, so he wanted to control the naive girl to gain control of the kingdom.

At the instigation of Adonis, Cassiluda revised the law and asked the royal guards to rush into the originally sacrosanct temple and capture the high priest from inside.

This is where the collapse of rituals and music begins.

The captured high priest began to angrily expose Adonis's lies and deception, and Adonis also accused the high priest of being a nihilistic fantasist, imagining the non-existent god "The King in Yellow".

Cassiluda was caught between the two, and her will gradually wavered.

At this moment, the eldest prince Tyre, who had been offline for a long time, finally came back, but his eyes were blind and leaking pus.

Just because he walked out of the battlements and saw the terrifying beauty outside the city. It was a beauty that belonged to the future and was about to be staged in the city.

Adonis believed that the eldest prince was deceiving the public with his lies and wanted to order the captain of the guard to arrest him, but the captain of the guard had an affair with the eldest prince and refused to obey the order.

Cassilda, who had begun to distrust Adonis, also rejected Adonis's suggestion and allowed the captain of the guard to take the blind eldest prince out of the city to escape.

At this time, Adonis remembered that the eldest prince had just said that there were war flags outside the city, and quickly ordered the guards to block the city gate and not let anyone in.

The crazy second princess entered the stage at this time, holding the "Yellow Seal" in both hands, and told that she was instigated by her uncle (Adonis).

Unable to listen any longer, Adonis grabbed the guard's musket and shot the second princess dead.

Queen Cassilda finally determined that Adonis was the traitor and asked him to raise his sword, and the two engaged in a one-on-one duel.

Sister Cassilda's swordsmanship was obviously superior, and she easily defeated Adonis in a duel while communicating and knocked the sword out of his hand.

However, just when Cassiluda was about to deliver the fatal blow, the stage suddenly burst into light.

This light does not seem to come from any kind of light in the known world, it is an almost eerie purple-red light.

At the moment when the light bloomed, the royal flags on both sides of the throne suddenly changed and were replaced by banners with yellow seals.

Everyone was shocked. Cassiluda was so frightened that she dropped the sword in her hand. Adonis quickly picked it up, but he did not dare to act rashly and looked around in surprise.

The wall scenery representing the city walls and palaces began to collapse, smoke erupted from the gaps, and the infinite sound of gongs surrounded the stage.

Until the yellow light replaced the gradually subsided smoke, and a tall figure gradually appeared.

The King in Yellow Appears!

The King in Yellow is about three meters tall, with his ragged robe and hood rippling in the air.

His face is hidden behind a flowing veil of yellow silk, and his hands are covered with yellow silk gloves of infinite majesty.

Every time He took a step forward, the rags around him flapped in the wind.

He spoke to those around him in a deep and commanding tone.

(To Cassiluda): Did you see it? Do you see reality now?

(To the High Priest): You long for the revival and survival of the empire. I promise you that our empire will last forever, and you will never see the end.

(To Adonis): Your dynasty has devoured its own children and will never be able to rule this place again. What has your reason and faith brought you?

When the King in Yellow pointed his finger at Adonis, Adonis instantly became hysterical and cried incoherently.

"No! No! This is mine! Mine!"

"I will not be snatched away by you again! Don't even think about it! Everything is mine!"

He raised the sword in his hand and swung it hard at the King in Yellow Clothes, but the moment the blade of the sword came into contact with the strand of yellow clothes, it quickly bounced away, twisted, and hit himself instead.

Adonis died instantly.

Seeing this, the high priest was so frightened that his faith collapsed, and he wanted to cast an invisibility spell to escape, but the king in yellow also raised his hand and pointed at the high priest.

"You long to witness the beginning of a new era, and I promise you we are the new era."

"Of course, we have come to the throne, but we don't need priests, because the eternal dead will serve us. Where will your fanaticism and belief send you?"

The moment the King in Yellow spread his hands, the high priest died instantly, with gray smoke emitting from his body.

The King in Yellow looked at Cassilda for the last time and promised that Cassilda could survive.

But Cassiluda insisted that the King in Yellow killed his child, and believed that finding the eldest prince would allow the dynasty to continue its rule.

The King in Yellow: "Tyre is the ancestor of kings, and I am the last of kings."

Cassiluda: "I won't give up!"

King in Yellow: "You have already given up the throne."

Cassilda: "Will you conquer all of Hastur?"

King in Yellow: "We are Hastur, and we are the ones who liberated Yiti from the suffering of mankind. We acquiesce to those who continue to be parasitic here."

Cassiluda: "Iti is not your city, Carcosa is!"

King in Yellow: "Now, this is Carcosa, Carcosa has come to all of you."

Cassiluda knelt on the ground, wailing and begging, "Don't happen to us! King! Don't!"

The lights on the stage suddenly went out, and the theater fell into darkness.

Final act.

Qin Zhibo stared at the silent stage, feeling that "The King in Yellow" was nothing more than that.

Compared with other mythological classics, Qin Zhibo even felt that "The King in Yellow" was too mild, like a weird palace battle drama with occult colors.

It begins with the struggle for the heir to the throne and ends with the arrival of the final heir to the throne.

The scheming Adonis believed in reason and insisted on the belief that Iti should be ruled by a dynasty.

In the end, he never expected that his scheming would be in vain in front of the King in Yellow, just like an ant playing tricks in front of humans.

Do humans care what plots the ants are planning?

But the final scene of Adonis madly attacking the King in Yellow reminded Qin Zhibo of Hideo Kawashima who shot Aldebaran on Moon Shadow Island.

They are all true braves!

Nautauba, the high priest with fanatical beliefs, was a firm defender of the prophecy of the end of the world at first, and firmly believed in the coming of Carcosa and the King in Yellow.

But when the King in Yellow came to him at the end of the world, he cowered in fear and was sentenced to death.

This reminded Qin Zhibo of an idiom: Ye Gong loves dragons.

Perhaps his fate has been doomed from the first scene of the second act, because the messenger of the King in Yellow does not recognize the so-called "service" of the high priest.

As for Queen Cassilda, she has no firm stance and is an unstable ruler.

She sometimes believed in the rule of the dynasty, and sometimes believed in the prophecy of the end of the world, which indirectly led to the death of her two children.

The King in Yellow "compassionately" allowed her to survive. She refused to obey at first, but when death came, she knelt down and begged for mercy.

The eldest prince was blinded in both eyes and fled the royal city with his lover, but the whole world was not the "king".

The second princess went crazy and was shot and killed by her uncle.

The third prince was the worst. He never appeared again after the first scene of the first act, and he was executed on the order of his biological mother for no apparent reason.

All the members of the royal family of a dynasty met a bad end. The collapse of reason, the collapse of faith, and the insignificance of human power under the influence of supernatural forces are all vividly demonstrated in this script.

But what else?

Qin Zhibo felt that although this second act was very meaningful, that was all.

Originally, the part that should bring people madness the most is the scene where the King in Yellow Appears, but when the King in Yellow Appears, Qin Zhibo didn't feel any discomfort.

Even a little friendly?
