The game of gods

Chapter 22: Phoenix Opera

Chapter 22: Phoenix Opera

Phoenix is like the Gotham of the DC world, when night falls, the two most important things are criminals and dead people, with the social turmoil, everyone is venting their grievances in the dark corners, and the slow-paced elegance like the opera and dance company has become less and less noticeable.

The theaters built by the rich in the last century, the majestic buildings that run through nearly half of the history of the country, because they have not been maintained for a long time, the pure white marble has been sprayed with all kinds of foul graffiti, layer upon layer, as dirty as this depraved city.

The oil painting poster at the door depicts a beautiful black gauze girl dancing, and a line of English indicates the content of today's performance here: "Black Swan Lake".

Although it is only a vague oil painting poster, it is still possible to vaguely identify the other party from the graceful outline - Shatia.

Tickets: $20 per ticket.

Rorschach touched his pocket, a little reluctant.

"Harley, you can save 20 bucks by becoming a dog. ”

"Okay!" said Harley, transforming in front of the conductor.

The old dizzy conductor didn't even see it clearly, and he turned a blind eye to a big dog as long as he entered the theater, anyway, there are still dogs willing to watch dance dramas in these years, which is considered an improvement.

As a country established after the Revolutionary War, in order to show that it has the same elegance as the British aristocracy, the greasy and blackened carpet under its feet was once stepped on by countless rich and noble women, but now dogs think it is dirty.

Rorschach and Hallie walked side by side in the dimly lit corridor, and came to the hall where there were few spectators, the half-moon-shaped VIP stage was empty, and most of the densely packed chairs were covered with damaged seats.

Most of the audience who can be counted on one hand are also elderly people, and of course, only they will be interested in this kind of outdated entertainment in this crazy information age.

On the stage at the moment, a group of old swans at the level of aunts are dancing hastily, their love for dance has been diluted by the decaying years and expensive rent, and the perfunctory movements are worthy of their income of $1,500 a month.

"We didn't say hello, isn't it a bit rude to come here so hastily. Rorschach found a central seat in the front row.

"No, no, no, Shatia must have exploded with joy when she saw her old friend. The ticket evasion was successful, and Hallie, who had returned to human form, was a little excited.

"Remember, we're not here to fight today, the three things you need to remember are: protect me, protect me, protect me!" Rorschach slapped the notepad in front of Harry's eyes.

"Don't worry!Today is the night of the full moon, and it's the time when werewolves are at their strongest, just Shatia, I'll be pinched with one paw!" Harley squinted her eyes and grinned excitedly, obviously not putting Rorschach's words into the three things she could remember.

At the end of the ballet, the heavy curtains creaked and there were a few applauses, and a moment later the next song came from the horns on either side.

The curtain opened again, and a beautiful curve jumped out like a flying satin, attracting the amazement of the audience, who were obviously coming for Shatiya's performance.

Sometimes brisk, sometimes soft, the slender and boneless figure is like a flying black swan, roaming gracefully on the green lake.

"Hey!! Shatia!! you're dancing really well—like a flying duck!" said Harley, waving her hands excitedly as she jumped.

Shatia was doing a difficult dance when Harley disturbed her like this, her feet slipped and she almost fell, she raised her head and frowned, glanced at Harley hatefully, calmed down, regained her balance and continued to dance.

"Ahem......" Looking at the angry audience, Rorschach could only pull Harley back to her seat in embarrassment.

A song of black swan performed solo for 70 minutes, Rorschach and others scratched their ears and cheeks, and vulgar people like him couldn't appreciate this kind of classical elegance, so their eyes were still staring at the white thighs, and they felt quite tired of watching too much.

Just as the Black Swan Lake was nearing its end, several bearded men in studded leather jackets suddenly twisted their thick arms into this completely different style of painting, evacuating and mixing up a pool of tranquil water.

"Huh?!" Hallie, who was curled up on a stool and dozing off, suddenly jumped up with a hundred times more energy, and pointed to the three men on the stage excitedly!

"Look! It's Darren, Wood, and Walsh, the three wildest brothers of the werewolf clan, are they going to dance on stage, why don't they wear tutus?"

"Silly...... Dog...... They weren't here to dance...... Rorschach opened his mouth in a daze.

"Three...... You can't come here...... This is the stage ......" A middle-aged man in a suit is at a loss to try to stop three hairy men.

"Get out of here!" one of the brawny men roared and slapped his backhand, causing the head of the company manager to turn 180 degrees.

"European ...... Buy...... Karma......" A crowd of spectators screamed in fright.

"Give you three seconds to disappear from my eyes!!Now!!!" The hairy-faced man led by him roared into the audience, instantly making the old people turn around and run.

"Damn stinky dog......" Faced with the three unkind werewolves, Shatia wrinkled her brows and gritted her teeth, losing her usual grace.

Before the three werewolves could make any moves, Harley suddenly jumped twice and jumped onto the stage, stopped in front of the werewolves who were a head taller than him, and pushed each other's strong chest muscles hard.

"Hey, hey, Darren, she's my opponent, you can't take my prey!"

The werewolf named Darren laughed playfully, revealing his yellowed canine teeth: "I thought it was someone, it turned out to be a small ...... Ha...... Leigh, my little cutie, we've been looking for you for a long time, and you ran out on your own?"

"Looking for me, why are you looking for me, didn't we just meet the day before yesterday?" said Hallie, looking at Darren with a confused expression.

Darren burst out laughing: "Hahahaha...... It seems that little Harley is really like they say, she was cursed by a witch and lost her memory and became an i***t, so when I finish cleaning up this little vampire and come to have fun with you, now get out of the way. ”

"Hey, don't you have ears, she's my prey!" Harley bared her fangs as menacingly.

"i***t, are you still in the era when the werewolf family is your father's rule?"

"Get out!"

"Open!"

A big wolf claw broke through the jacket, and a big slapped on Hallie's face, fanning her directly more than ten meters and falling back to the audience, directly smashing more than a dozen rows of wooden seats.

"Harley......!" Rorschach ran over to check, and the wolf girl's neck had been torn out by the broken neck bone, and hot blood was spraying out wantonly.

Shatiya doesn't care about anything at this time, and it is very difficult to deal with a moonlit night werewolf with her strength, let alone three at this time!

Without hesitation, the incarnated bat flew towards the glass window at the top of the stage, and at this time he could only hope to escape!

However, werewolves have been at odds with vampires for many years, so how could they not know about this little trick of vampires?

The moment Shatiya flew up, a flying net shrouded her in the air, and she was firmly caught, pulled into the circle of three thugs, and raised her rough claws high!

Rorschach, who was too lazy to look at the next inappropriate picture for children, raised a middle finger at the three werewolves, placed the time hourglass, and reset the time.

......

The picture regresses rapidly, and the shattered picture quickly returns to the most extreme hour.

"Hey!Shatia!" Harley, who had just been seriously injured by a slap, was still waving excitedly towards the stage.

Rorschach pressed one hand on Hallie's head and jumped onto the stage, meeting Shatia's resentful eyes and wanting to kill, and said earnestly: "There's no time to explain.

"Hey, don't think I won't dare kill you if I find my place ...... work!" Shatia's teeth itched with hatred, the theater was the last place for her to show her humanity, and it was also the pure place of her heart, and she was very angry that she was so broken by someone.

"Don't get me wrong, we're here to save you, Darren, Wood, and Walsh of the Werewolf Clan are here to kill you, and it's too late to leave. Rorschach felt he should have plenty of time to explain things clearly.

"The notorious werewolf brothers, didn't you lure them in?" said Shatia, frowning, as if contemplating the truth of the matter.

"What are you talking about, how is it different from what was planned?" said Harley, tilting her head, unable to understand.

"The plan?!, are you trying to trick me out and kill me?" said Shatia as she grabbed Rorschach's neck with her slender fingers, and asked viciously.

"f**k you! Lao Tzu is kind enough to save you!" Rorschach scolded angrily.

"Protect, protect, protect!" Harley opened her jaws and bit down on Shatia's arm.

"I want you stupid dog to save me?" Shatia let go of Rorschach's neck and grabbed Harry's face with a wave of her hand, leaving five deep scratches on Harry's face.

"Ahhh

As a vampire, Shatia is naturally not stupid enough to compete with werewolves, and when she opened her mouth, a ball of bloody arrows shot into Harry's chest, causing a lot of penetrating wounds.

The audience was dumbfounded, although they often heard that there were werewolves and vampires in urban legends, but who really saw it?

However, it is also thanks to Lao Mei, who has been poisoned by bullets, and her reaction is fast, and when she saw such a ferocious battle, she immediately bent over with her head in her arms and ran out.

In other words, Chinese people at least surround the inner and outer three layers, and cats and dogs all come to watch the excitement in the circle of friends.

"It's ......" Rorschach was dumbfounded as she looked at the two girls who were rolling on the stage together, especially the black veil on Shatia's body, as long as Harley's claws were pulled down like that, it would immediately be a spring glow......

Sure enough, women fighting or something are the most beautiful.

That's when it happened.

Bang

A spectator's body flew through the entrance of the tunnel and smashed five or six rows of seats, blurring flesh and blood.

"Ha, I can't think of anyone who came before us......"

Werewolf Darren!

Rorschach looked at the time, how did it come so early!

Apparently they had already arrived near the theater!

"Stop fighting! Run! The three wolves are coming, and they will fight you together. Rorschach slapped Hallie on the head.

"I'm going to win right away!"

"......Shh Stupid dog ......" Shatia reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, got up from the ground, and saw three strong werewolves appearing at the entrance at a glance.

Whatever the situation, she knew it was time to escape!

Immediately turned around and ran towards the backstage of the stage.

"Run!" Rorschach grabbed Harley's paw and ran away after Shatia.

"The little mouse under the moon, no matter how hasty it is, can't escape the hunting hound...... Chase!"

The three werewolves jumped more than ten meters and landed directly on the stage, like a humanoid tank, smashing the countless wooden frames on the path to pieces, chasing after the three people who fled from the fire escape.

"Who am I, where am I, why should I run away?" said Harley, walking in confusion.

"The three werewolf brothers said they want to stew nuts with your brains!" Luo Xia did not squint ahead, and the werewolves who were destroying and crashing behind him did not have the slightest fear.

"Ahhhh

"Stupid dog, you don't have any brains. Shatiya mocked mercilessly, "Also, can you not follow me?"

"I'm sorry for Vivien, and I hope you'll ...... when it's safe," Rorschach could finish speaking, as a muscular figure smashed through the wooden door next to him, slamming him into the wall with an elbow blow.

Enduring the sharp pain of shattering bones all over his body, Rorschach reversed the hourglass of time.

"Hopefully we can ...... well Let's talk!" Rorschach calmly took out the alchemy revolver from his waist, raised his wrist without turning his head, and pulled the trigger on the intact wooden door.

Rumble!

The same second that the wooden door was smashed by Werewolf Wood, it was greeted by the swarthy hole of the alchemy revolver, and the next second, dozens of lead shotguns erupted in anger.

The body as strong as a bear fell to the ground with a bang.

Rorschach gently blew away the smoke from the muzzle, only to feel that he was so handsome, even more so if he could load the wheel with one hand like Governor Schwarzenegger.

Shatia turned her head in surprise and continued to run fast ahead.

Darren, the werewolf in the back, crouched down to check on his companion's injuries, "Hey, Wood?

"Fack...... Leave me alone!" Werewolf Wood's face was covered in pitted holes of blood, his flesh was rolling, and one eye had turned into a disgusting pool of blood.

Got up from the ground, in a miserable and painful wolf howl, gray lead particles fell out in the squeezing of flesh and blood, and the injuries were healing at a very fast speed, but in half a minute, except for the hole in the left eye, there was no trace of injury.

It's simply a Wolverine!

The Phoenix Grand Theatre is a once-in-a-many theater with hundreds of performers, and the backstage is crisscrossed with corridors, lounges, props rooms, costume rooms, and a trio of escapees and hunters in this labyrinthine theater.

"i***t, we can't act together!The werewolf's sense of smell will easily track it down!" Shatia had no idea that she was being saved, and frowned at the two temporary teammates.

"Then flee separately, and see you in Vivien's hut if you are sincere. Rorschach suggested.

"Makes sense, but what are we doing here?Escape room?" said Harley, tilting her head.

Rorschach directly took Harley's hand and wrote three messages on her hand: [The three werewolf brothers are enemies] [Shatia and a handsome Chinese are teammates] [Escape to Vivien's hut when you are safe]!

"Take it!" Shatia lifted her slender calf and reached down to remove a pair of black dancing stockings.

!! Rorschach was shocked and took a deep breath in his hand.

"i***t, not for you to smell!Confuse our smell!" said Shatia, furious.

"Sorry, my socks may be too thick...... "Rorschach took off his shoes, ripped off his socks and gave one to each person.

"Huh...... Man. Shatiya was extremely disgusted and pinched it in her hand.

Hallie took it and took a deep breath: "It tastes like an age...... It's dizzy. ”

As the sound of the wooden door being smashed behind him got closer and closer, the three of them separated at the same time: "Scatter!"

Rorschach had just turned a corner and bumped into Werewolf Wood, who had just been hit in the face by himself.

The enemy's eyes were red when they met, and their swollen muscles were filled with infinite power.

"Bastard boy, you're going to get involved!"

Rorschach hooked his fingers leisurely: "Whose dog repairer, why doesn't he have a chain?"

"Die!!!" werewolf Wood roared, raising his claws and slapping Rorschach's neck.

With a snap of the fingers, the timeline rewinds quickly.

Just at the entrance of the passage where the two met, Rorschach entered another intersection in advance, perfectly missing the love around the corner.

No matter how much Wood searched for the scent, the two were like two parallel lines on A4 paper that followed the rules, and no matter how they moved, they would never communicate.

Rorschach strolls backstage in the labyrinth of the Grand Theater.

Werewolf Wood was like a blind mad dog, smelling the clutter in the air, chasing non-existent shadows, and howling in impotent rage.

The goddess of victory always stands behind someone who can master time.
