Chapter 782 The inescapable yellow nightmare(2/2)
No one expected that the item with the highest transaction price was Haihara Ai's mysterious capsule.
When promoting the capsule, Haihara Ai said that it was a universal detoxification potion that was carefully refined by mysterious alchemists from the East for seven, seven and forty-nine days, and sold for 10,000 yen.
In this era of underdeveloped information, the far East is often associated with mysticism.
Coupled with the yellow skin and faces of Conan and others, this statement is even more believable.
In this way, the capsule, which was originally priced at 10,000 yen, was snapped up by passers-by and finally sold for 14,500 yen.
Including other sold goods, the total is 24,750 yen, plus the initial capital of 2,755, which is exactly 27,505 yen.
Before the ticket sales stopped, Mao Lilan ran to the ticket office and bought nine tickets with the money she had just collected.
Everyone walked into the theater with fresh tickets and happily.
Only Conan walked behind, standing in line with Haibara Ai.
"When you get out, you can also sell me an antidote~"
"You decide the price."
Faced with Conan's request to go further, Haiyuan Ai threw him away for a month and a half.
"Dah-"
Entering the theater, since several people entered the theater a little late, the seats were located very far back and out of the way.
However, the purpose of these people was not to enjoy the show, but to look for Sherlock Holmes.
Qin Zhibo said that Holmes might be someone like the leader of a theater troupe. After the performance, he could sneak from the auditorium to the backstage to have a look.
Just as Conan was thinking about it, the performance officially began.
The first performance was a cliché comedy of misplaced identities.
The male protagonists are two twins who have never met. They have the same appearance, but they are tricked by a series of coincidences and become engaged to a woman together.
The woman also thought she was engaged to the same man, so she made many hilarious jokes.
When the heroine appeared on the stage, both Mao Lilan and Conan looked shocked.
Mao Lilan pointed to the heroine on the stage and said in surprise: "Isn't that Shinichi's mother?"
Conan:Mom?
The heroine on stage looks almost identical to Kudo Yukiko, even her voice is very similar.
Conan thought carefully and first ruled out that Yukiko had also entered the game.
Since it is a game designed by my father, it is normal for my mother’s image to be used as a game character.
And my mother’s role might be “The woman”.
Conan asked the audience in the front seat and his thoughts were confirmed.
"The heroine is Irene Adler. You don't even know this, so why are you still coming to the show?"
Conan really couldn't laugh or cry when he learned that "Yukiko" was Irene Adler.
Since Irene is in this theater, it is more likely that Holmes is also in this theater.
And Holmes most likely is.
The comedy performance in the first act ended, with some band performances and clown rap songs interspersed, and then the performance of the second act began.
The second scene tells the story of an orphan girl who sold greenhouse violets and died of hunger and cold on a snowy night.
Eventually, the girl's grandmother recognized her as the baby kidnapped by bandits ten years ago, but it was too late.
This is a tragedy.
After watching Conan, I felt okay and didn't feel too emotionally disturbed. I just felt that this drama was a bit like a replica of "The Little Match Girl".
As a detective, no matter whether it is pain or sadness, I will never shed tears, and I will not believe in tears easily.
On the other hand, Mao Lilan and the three little ones next to them felt very uncomfortable after watching it. Mao Lilan and Ayumi even wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs more than once.
Including Haihara Ai, who was usually very cold, Conan quietly observed her, and there was actually a sparkle in the corners of her eyes.
As for that?
Conan, whose tear glands were sealed, couldn't understand.
At the end of the second show, the troupe presented some traditional performances in the interlude, including clowns, acrobats, and actors wearing animal skins pretending to be animals, with bears riding bicycles and the like.
After the fun is over, the third act begins.
This is a historical drama.
The time was seven hundred years ago, and all the actors in the troupe acted as residents of a seaside fishing village.
One day, they fished and rested as usual.
A huge shape suddenly rose from the distant sea.
The madman in the village cheered and announced to the villagers.
"As the prophecy indicated, the ancient gods have arrived!"
"They come from Ruilei City, from the dark city of Carcosa, and from the Cold Plateau!"
"They returned to our world from those places where they slept, waited, and spent their long hours of death!"
Next, there are some scattered dramas.
A muscular man, acting as a priest of the gods in ancient Rome, declared that the giant figures in the sea were monsters and demons that must be destroyed.
In order to fight against the "ancient gods", the ancient Roman emperor announced the construction of a gladiatorial arena to release what the monks called the "forbidden power" in an attempt to create the most powerful fighter.
However, when the gladiator contest reached its climax, the followers of the "Old God" rebelled.
They beat the priests to death with crosses, overthrew the rule of the ancient Roman emperor, and prepared for the coming of the "old gods".
The saint among the believers began to recite sweet and moving hymns, summoning the eternal "ancient gods".
Under the magical stage lighting effects, the figure of an "ancient god" passed over the stage that symbolized the sky.
Queen of Britain, with a majestic figure and green tentacles.
The Black Lord of Egypt, whose dark skin reveals an indescribable attraction.
The ancient goat had hooves for standing under its huge lumpy body.
The father of all snakes, a half-snake and half-man covered in scales.
The Yellow Emperor of China wears a ragged yellow robe and a pale mask.
When Mao Lilan saw the yellow figure floating by the corner of the stage, her eyes instantly dilated and her body became stiff and unable to move.
It's Him!
It's Him!
In countless dreams of New York, that yellow figure chased me like a nightmare.
Mao Lilan never dreamed that she could still see the terrifying yellow nightmare here.
"ah--!"
