Chapter 250 Don't worry, nothing will happen
While Leon was looking a little confused, the puppet actor hanging by silk strings on the stage had already recited his opening remarks with great emotion.
Next, he walked towards the next "plot point" with a very beautiful stage step, seemingly fast but actually slow. While the tavern scenery was being set up on the stage, Leon leaned close to the princess' ear and asked suspiciously:
"Veronica, look at the male lead on the stage, is he a human or a puppet?"
Hmm? What's the problem?
Princess Veronica was slightly startled when she heard this, not understanding why Leon asked this question. However, after remembering Leon's "job", her expression immediately became serious, and she also tilted her head and whispered in his ear:
"A human! In my eyes, he is a human! Do you think Elijah is just a puppet?"
"Um……"
Looking at the tavern gradually lighting up under the stage lights, and the heroine dancing in the tavern with a prop tray and her skirt flying, Leon frowned and said:
“It’s not just the male lead. In my opinion, all the actors currently on the stage are talking puppets wearing clothes. We must have encountered an abnormal event.
Veronica, you are a loyal audience of Master Wilde, so you should have been paying attention to the developments of the Morning Star Theater, right? Is there any news about this theater worth noting recently?"
Any news worth paying attention to?
Realizing that Leon was gathering intelligence and preparing to complete the abnormal cleanup, Princess Veronica took a regretful look at the stage and did not rush to ask questions. Instead, she cooperated and tried to recall the past.
"If you put it that way, there are some strange things."
After searching her mind for a while, the princess frowned and narrated:
“Andre, the lead actor of the Morning Star Theatre and the one who had worked with Master Wilde the longest, was boycotted because of the scandal, and no suitable replacement has been found.
The performances that followed received very low reviews from drama lovers because of problems with the new actors. Master Wilde seemed very annoyed by this and took the initiative to reduce the number of performances by the troupe and began closed training.
But some reporters found that the food sent to the Central Cross Theater during the training was not touched at all and was thrown directly into the surrounding trash cans, so they suspected that the closed training was just a cover, and there was a lot of commotion for a while..."
The food delivered to the theater was left untouched?
Leon frowned slightly when he heard this, feeling that the news seemed a little familiar. After carefully flipping through the notebook he carried with him, he finally remembered it suddenly.
After Ryan's bloody night, I had basically recovered and ran back to the Cleanup Bureau from the hospital. Before I was trapped in the dungeon of the Police Department, the chief had given me some investigative tasks.
These include a lost herder in Buff County looking for his goats, an arsonist roaming around Lowther Arcade, and food problems at the Morning Star Theatre, to name a few.
After looking through them, I felt that these tasks did not seem unusual, and finally chose to take the task of going to Rose Manor to rescue Amy.
However, when he later infiltrated the rebel group, he discovered that the arsonist was none other than Tiger, the burned man who possessed the rebel group's abnormal objects and liked to sniff people. Now, something really happened to the Morning Star Troupe again.
If we include the Archbishop of the Scales Church whom we met at Rose Manor, three of the four tasks we received at that time have been confirmed to be related to anomalies. It seems that our director's level of "assigning tasks" is extremely high.
……
"Leon?"
After waiting for a while without hearing Leon's answer, the princess couldn't help but ask softly:
"How is it? Did you find anything? Are these people who came to see the play in danger?"
"There is a discovery, and it's good news."
Leon came back to his senses and nodded: “If what I saw is true, then the reason why the food sent by the theater was thrown away is because all the actors in the troupe have become puppets that do not need to eat.
A long time has passed since then, but during this period, there have been no large-scale disappearances or casualties among the audience who came to watch the drama, proving that this abnormal event is relatively stable and is unlikely to affect the audience. "
"That's good……"
After hearing what Leon said, Princess Veronica couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then leaned over and asked softly:
"What can I do to help you? Have someone secretly organize an evacuation? Or..."
"No, don't do anything!"
After rejecting the princess’ proposal, Leon tilted his head and said softly:
“Since the audience was able to leave safely in so many past performances and there were no large-scale incidents that would alert our police station, then simply watching the show should be safe.
According to Emma Sheng... according to the experience taught to me by a senior, when the specific capabilities of the anomaly are uncertain and it is unlikely to cause large-scale harm, you should never rush to break the current balance.
So what we should do now is to wait in the box for six hours until the performance is over and most of the audience, including you, have evacuated safely. Then I will find a way to bring back the seniors in the bureau and complete the cleanup as safely as possible."
"Okay, I listen to you!"
Princess Veronica nodded, holding Leon's palm with her cold little hand, and putting her lips on Leon's earlobe, and said softly with some concern:
"Remember to be safe, and if there is anything I can do, please tell me and I will do my best to help."
"Um……"
The breath from the princess tickled his neck. After asking for information, Leon shifted his body slightly uncomfortably, trying to return to a sitting position.
But at this moment, he found that the princess's soft palms were slightly damp, her upper body leaning over was trembling slightly uncontrollably, and her legs under her long skirt were slightly closed together, seeming to be very nervous.
After a slight hesitation, Leon freed his right hand from her grasp, put his arm around her back, leaned over to her ear and whispered in her ear:
"Don't worry, this abnormal incident is not very dangerous, and with me here, you will be fine."
"..."
The princess was a little surprised to be hugged suddenly. She looked up at Leon in the dim box. When she noticed his concerned expression, she lowered her head and hummed softly, then leaned obediently in his arms.
I'm not afraid, I just drank too much hot water in the carriage and felt a little urgent... But it's not bad~
Following Leon's movements, the princess leaned into his arms, feeling someone's firm and hot young body. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip slightly, and at an angle that Leon couldn't see, she showed a satisfied smile.
You also know how to take care of my emotions. That's good. It's not in vain that I've been nice to you.
