30. Disappearing tentacles

The theater troupe from Belfast is stationed in the one and only theater in Watchtown.

I learned from the troupe administrator that these people came from a music conservatory in Belfast. They had arrived in Watchtown two days ago and were preparing for tomorrow's opera.

"The opera is called "The Sound of Misery", well... I seem to have an impression of it, while I was still alive."

Anna's voice came from the empty side.

Lu Li didn't move at all, silently raising his head and staring at the top of the dome theater.

Blood-colored tentacles extending from the clouds passed through the dome and fell into the theater.

There is another tentacle that is also above Watch Town, landing somewhere else, and the other five tentacles are scattered everywhere, unknown where they are.

The tentacles in Watchtown are a bit dense, but it's easy to understand. This was once Richard's base camp, and if he wanted to conduct experiments, he would definitely do it nearby.

"I remember this music conservatory. Daisy was a student here." Anna thought of her only friend Daisy and was a little excited: "Maybe she is in there!"

"You'd better hope she's not around."

Lu Li looked away, replied, and walked towards the theater door.

There were employees guarding the door, but Lu Li's temperament and calmness made the employees think he was a teacher from the music school, so they allowed Lu Li to walk into the theater without asking any questions.

"He is not my father! He doesn't deserve to be either!"

"Oh child, he has always loved you deeply..."

On the stage, the actors wore exaggerated and gorgeous costumes and rehearsed in the usual exaggerated style of the stage play. Some actors who had no role for the time being sat in the front row, comparing the scripts or chatting in low voices.

Of the hundreds of seats, there were only a dozen or so people sitting near the stage, and the back row was empty.

Lu Li and Anna simultaneously focused their attention on a person on the stage.

She was a girl with a dark style. The makeup she applied deliberately made her cheeks devoid of any blood, and she had thick dark circles under her eyes. She looked like a vampire who had not rested for a long time. She was wearing impressive clothes.

Skirt. The long black lace skirt has a mysterious color like the Victorian era.

The reason why Anna looked at her was because the dress was impressive. The reason why Lu Li looked at her was because a thin thread of blood fell from the top of the theater and was tied to the girl's body.

"What a beautiful dress."

"She is the victim."

Lu Li's and Anna's voices sounded at the same time.

"Is it that girl?" Anna's voice contained surprise.

"Um."

"it's a pity……"

The actors around the stage haven't noticed Lu Li at the edge of the theater yet, and they continue to perform this part of the program.

"Love me? Will loving me sell me to that scumbag! No, he is not my father-"

The girl who was facing the lines staggered and fell backwards as she had been rehearsing. But when her eyes touched a certain place, she suddenly froze and froze on Lu Li in the back row of the audience. The next moment, she did not hesitate.

Under the eyes of all the companions, they turned around and fled backstage.

"She discovered us!" Anna exclaimed, turning to look at Lu Li, and found that he had left her side at some point and walked quickly towards the stage.

One of the actors suddenly ran backstage. Naturally, the rehearsal could not continue. The other bewildered actors looked around and saw Lu Li approaching quickly in the audience.

"Police officers from the Watchtower Police Station investigate the case."

Leaving behind a few words, Lu Li walked across the stage without stopping, chased backstage, and followed the sound of running into the dressing room.

Bang——

The wooden door that had just been closed but not yet locked was knocked open by the figure following closely behind.

Putting his palms on his waist, Lu Li scanned the dressing room, only to find that the girl he was eyeing was only wearing underwear, collapsed on the ground, and fell into a coma.

"Let's get rid of this bastard quickly-"

Anna's voice came from far away, but Lu Li raised his hand to stop her.

"She's not O'Connor."

"Eh?"

Anna was confused. If she wasn't O'Connor, why did she run away when she saw Lu Li...?

Lu Li also wanted to know why the bloody tentacles falling on her body that he could clearly see on the stage... disappeared at this time.

Suddenly, there was the sound of approaching footsteps from behind, and a few seconds later, the rehearsing actors and staff rushed into the dressing room.

At first glance, they saw their companion lying unconscious on the ground wearing only underwear and Lu Li standing beside him.

"What are you doing!?"

Several male students rushed up to him yelling angrily.

Lu Li's hand on the holster tightened the handle of the gun and pulled out some

He didn't plan to shoot, he only planned to use the psychic gun to warn.

"Don't be impulsive. This was not done by this... Mr. Policeman! There must be a misunderstanding!"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd. Daisy rushed out of the crowd and shouted loudly to stop several male classmates who were about to beat up Lu Li.

"Daisy...!"

Anna, who was floating in the air and unable to be noticed by anyone, let out a soft cry, with a look of surprise on her face.

If it was just Daisy who was blocking him, it certainly couldn't stop a few hot-blooded male students who couldn't hear the explanation clearly. What made them stop was the handle of the gun exposed under Lu Li's windbreaker.

Speaking of which, I heard this man say that he was a policeman on stage...

And regardless of whether this person is a policeman or not, rushing up to him now seems to be a very desperate act.

Seeing that her classmates were no longer restless, Daisy breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, bowed slightly and showed a friendly smile to Lu Li: "Mr. Lu Li, long time no see."

She wore a patched cloth with wrinkles on her face and played the role of an old man in the musical.

Daisy seems to be an experiential person, her every smile, every word and every action carries the flavor of the character she plays.

And soon, she recovered and turned into her usual tomboy character to explain to her companions: "This is police officer Lu Li. We met when we were investigating the Haru Xue incident."

"But what's going on...?" A girl hiding in the crowd at the door asked timidly.

"This was already the case when I arrived." Lu Li said at the right time. "You are only a few seconds behind. Do you think I will catch up with her and knock her out and take off her clothes within a few seconds?"

The students were quiet and thought about it carefully...it is indeed the case.

"How long are you bastards going to hang around here and watch, get out quickly!" Daisy suddenly realized that now was not the time to chat, and waved her arms in shame to drive the boys away.

The boys dispersed loudly, and the girls who were watching the excitement did not dare to stay. Only two college teachers, a boy and a girl, were left standing outside the door, looking embarrassed.

Daisy turned to look at Lu Li, her eyes questioning.

"Daisy stays, you two will stay outside the door for now."

The male teacher came back and said, "Ah, okay, but we need to contact the college about this kind of thing."

"Can."

With Valentin taking the blame, Lu Li was not worried about the matter being exposed.

Daisy closed the dressing room door, leaned against the wooden door, turned her eyes around quickly, and asked in a low voice: "Anna..."
