Chapter 140 Negotiation (Two Chapters in One)
Thirty minutes before the end of the movie, in the screening room behind the auditorium.
Mrs. Nishizawa completely remodeled the entire performance hall for the not too cold premiere of this demon, including the establishment of a projection room at the back of the entire performance hall.
In this small projection room, the primordial stone that stored the movie images of the devil is not too cold is placed in the center.
Mrs. Caesar sent two of her most trusted attendants to guard it, and outside there were a group of knights holding long swords to guard against any strangers who came.
This ultra-high-level treatment is completely comparable to a treasure house that stores countless gold coins and gems.
And this demon's not-so-cool demo definitely has that value.
Among the two cronies guarding the screening room, the leader of a certain black dove, also known as Miss Dark Elf with Thousand Faces, was honored to be among them.
"Why does that devil just not accept Miss Jialuoli's confession? What a pity!"
Another attendant in the projection room was a spellcaster who seemed to be in his fifties. Judging from the magical aura he possessed, he should have a seventh-level spellcaster rating.
But the dark elf didn't care whether the opponent was strong or not. When the caster was immersed in the scene where Matilda said to Leon, "I may fall in love with you", she quietly stretched out her hand to the screen. The original spar in the center of the chamber.
"Stop it! Ron, don't touch this primordial stone. If you break it, you probably won't be able to pay it for the rest of your life."
The old caster instantly noticed the young man's reckless behavior, and shouted loudly.
But in the face of his stop, the dark elf drew a magical inscription with his fingertips.
The inscription was not offensive at all. The moment the old caster saw the inscription, a strong drowsiness swept over him. Before he could use his magic power to dispel the drowsiness, he smelled a strange fume. fragrant.
This kind of fragrance has actually permeated the entire projection room since the movie started, but he didn't notice it at all until he saw the inscription released by the dark elf.
When the caster fell to the ground and passed out, the dark elf showed her true appearance, and the first thing she did was to wipe away her tears with her hands.
This time she sneaked into the Faluoxi mansion for nothing else, just to steal the movie sample of this demon who is not too cold and bring it back to the devil world.
Originally, he could start working more than ten minutes ago, but after careful consideration for a while, the dark elf decided to sit down and watch the movie before starting work.
As a result, she found that her tears seemed to be too low throughout the movie.
Because she has already assumed the role of Leon, and it is far from the end, her heart that has been cold for many years has been touched several times, and she burst into tears several times in a row.
After she changed her image into that of other people, she couldn't cry or sweat. This is not a good thing, and it will make her very uncomfortable.
So she had to choose to do it before the movie ended.
After wiping away his tears, the dark elf adjusted his emotions, and began to get ready for business.
She reached out to the primordial stone placed in the center of the projection room, but felt resistance the instant she touched it.
There is a magic barrier!
Mrs. Caesar would actually set up such a tricky barrier for such a raw spar.
But for this level of magic barrier, the dark elves can break through it as long as they concentrate.
Picking locks and deciphering the enchantment left by the caster belonged to her old profession.
But once you focus on the magic barrier, you can't continue watching the next plot.
Why don't you go to work after reading it? But she wasn't sure how long her sleep magic could affect a seventh-level spellcaster.
Just when she was struggling, someone opened the door of the projection room.
At this moment, she dodged and landed on the other side of the room door as lightly as a cat.
She stared closely at the figure who was about to enter the projection room, holding a dagger covered in venom in her hand.
These toxins are not fatal, and can make people fall into a complete coma. Originally, when performing such tasks, the dark elves would choose to silence them without hesitation.
But this demon is not too cold and let her go to the girlish heart that was thrown away decades ago, so she chose a more friendly attack method this time.
The moment the person who opened the door stepped into the projection room, the dagger in her hand would be on the neck of the other person.
The plot of the movie continued while she was on guard, and her eyes were attracted by the new developments on the movie screen several times.
But soon she still focused on the figure who was about to enter the room.
"Why do you have to go to such trouble to hide here?"
A familiar voice rang in her ears, and the dark elf froze slightly when he saw the figure, and finally retracted the weapon in his hand helplessly.
"If you want to attend the premiere, I can definitely arrange a seat for you in the auditorium. There is no need to hide here, Miss Dark Elf."
Joshua pushed open the door of the projection room and looked at the dark elf stuck to the wall.
The dark elf didn't answer Qiao Xiu, but just took a few steps back and looked at Qiao Xiu's side. No one was following him, but there were a few daytime banshees floating beside Qiao Xiu.
If the Banshee's fighting strength was insufficient, the death aura emanating from the mark in Qiao Xiu's hand would be enough to persuade the dark elf to give up resistance.
"I'm not here to watch a movie."
The purpose of the dark elf's coming here was indeed not to watch a movie, but to steal the primordial stone that stored the not-so-cool image of this demon.
So she didn't lie, it's just that she looked at the movie screen outside the projection room from time to time, making this sentence really unconvincing.
Qiao Xiu saw the struggle of the dark elf lady, finally let out a slight sigh, and made a gesture of please to her.
Although the dark elf lady entered the movie theater without buying a ticket, Joshua should treat her as an audience for now.
"Why don't we talk about it after reading it first?" Qiao Xiu said.
The Dark Elf frowned slightly, as if she was engaged in some kind of struggle, but when the plot of the movie progressed to the stage where the army of law enforcers overwhelmed the situation and Leon and Matilda were in a desperate situation, she finally chose to click slightly nod.
Even though she agreed to Joshua's proposal, her expression was still tense and there was no change at all. Joshua just silently waited for the movie to end.
But at the end when Leon died, the dark elf lady seemed to be holding back something, her eyes twitched slightly.
The plot of the movie has been going on, and Leon's death did not make the cold dark elf killer have any emotional fluctuations.
Until finally Matilda buried the potted plant in the ground and said, 'We are safe now, Leon. ’, the dark elf seemed to be holding back a lump in his throat.
In the end, when the melody of Shapeyheart sounded, the situation was completely out of control. The dark elf lady who had maintained a cold attitude since Joshua came in, tears instantly overflowed from the corner of her eyes.
But in order to be brave, she still kept trying to wipe away the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes, but maybe it was the reason why she hadn't shed tears for nearly decades, this time the burst of tears completely broke out the sad emotions she had accumulated in her heart for many years out.
The way the dark elf lady cried bitterly made Qiao Xiu fall into a brief daze.
Ever since she came into contact with the leader of the black pigeon, Joshua had always had the impression that she was aloof and a little cunning, as if she would never reveal her true side to anyone.
Maybe that's why she's called a thousand faces.
But her tears were much lower than what Joshua had imagined, or what kind of sympathy did the movie story of this devil not too cold resonate with her?
In short, the image of this dark elf seems to have completely collapsed like that of the frost elf.
"Wipe your tears with this."
Joshua didn't have such a handkerchief on him, so he found a tablecloth and handed it to her.
This made Qiao Xiu feel a little pity. If he had a handkerchief, he would probably gain a lot of favorability. After all, any girl is most vulnerable when she is crying.
The dark elf didn't hold back, took the tablecloth from Joshua and wiped away all the tears that fell down his cheeks.
She didn't want to cry like this at all, exposing her weak side to a stranger like Joshua.
But the tear gas bomb that Joshua threw called this demon not too cold was too powerful.
No matter how strong the dark elves are, they still can't resist the appeal of the shapeyheart song in the end. The last scene can be said to burst out the tears accumulated in the whole movie at once.
It was the same with Qiao Xiu's first time watching this killer. There was no fluctuation in the whole movie, but he burst into tears at the end.
Although infected by the movie, the dark elf exposed her most vulnerable side in front of Joshua, but as a professional intelligence officer or killer, she still showed her due emotional adjustment ability.
The tablecloth was like a cover cloth used by a magician. The dark elf was still crying one second, and then changed back to the cold face just a second later.
But the way her eyes were red still proved that she was still in a state of extreme sadness in the first few seconds.
"Is that the only possibility for Lyon's final fate?"
Before Qiao Xiu could speak, she asked suddenly.
"Let me think about it. The real plot is that Leon didn't die in the end, and built a hotel on Squirrel Street. By the way, he adopted two gray cat people and half dragon children. Are you satisfied with the ending?"
What Joshua was talking about was the experience of the actor in Leon, that is, the fraudster Pluke.
After hearing these few explanations from Joshua, the dark elf suddenly laughed.
This was also the first time Joshua saw the dark elf's smile. The smile she showed before was just a disguise for negotiation, but this time the smile didn't last long.
She walked to the window next to the auditorium, through which she could see the scenery below the auditorium.
A little girl who looked only about thirteen or fourteen years old discovered that the villain in the movie, 'Stan Phil', was actually sitting next to her. She resolutely chose to avenge Leon and began to sing a dangerous song. The magic of the lightning system.
It was sitting next to her who seemed to be her mentor's spell caster to stop it, so that the actor who played Stanfield, that is, Sir Baijinghua, might come to the stage to express his thoughts with a post-century afro hairstyle.
"If it were me, I would do the same, just to vent." The dark elf said.
"Then my goal has been achieved, and I won the bet between you and me."
Joshua leaned against the other side of the window, looking at the audience hall below. When the behind-the-scenes cast list appeared on the movie screen, the whole premiere was not completely over.
Mrs. Nishizawa stepped onto the stage, followed by the actors who participated in this demon, who were not too cold, stepped onto the stage one after another.
When the last two leading actors, Jia Luoli, the flower of Faluoxi, who played Matilda, and Pruc the fraudster, who played Leon, stood on the stage together, almost all the audience applauded, this applause Even hotter than at the end of the movie.
The applause lasted for a long time.
Joshua looked at the dark elf, her expression seemed to be thinking about something.
At this moment, the Dark Elf clearly understood that the applause was all for the demon standing on the stage!
These humans stood up and applauded a demon, and many humans were even moved by the survival of this demon.
If this was the case before, if someone described this scene to the dark elf, she would definitely think that the other party was telling a joke, or something that wasn't very funny.
But the fact has been placed in front of her, a demon is standing on the human stage, and it is also the focus of the entire stage.
In the end, even the Dark Elf applauded.
Although she knows that the stories in this movie are fictitious, the scene where Matilda and Leon can still stand together is too touching for any audience who has just watched The Devil Is Not So Cold up.
After the dark elf gave him his applause, he turned his gaze to Qiao Xiu.
The person who made all of this a reality was Joshua Joshua who did something that she never believed in.
That is to make demons acceptable to humans.
"Although they were only applauding the fictional demon killer in the movie, at least the fictional movie did affect reality, didn't it?" Qiao Xiu said.
This is the 'destructive power' brought about by culture. In more mysterious terms, it is the 'magic that can reshape the three views of human beings'.
"You won, Master Joshua."
The dark elf admitted frankly that the bet he made with Qiao Xiu ended in his failure.
"Then" Joshua was ready to recruit this 'hero'.
But the dark elf's fingertips traced an inscription symbol, and the moment Qiao Xiu saw the inscription symbol, sleepiness surged up in an instant.
Joshua's vision began to blur. Could it be the 'Yakesi' seal?
As the eyelids became heavier and heavier, Qiao Xiu supported the window next to him to barely stand still.
Sure enough, is there such a thing as cunning in the setting of dark elves in this world? I just don't know if they believe in Rose the Spider Queen as much as the drow elves.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Joshua, I can't work for you now."
She watched Qiao Xiu's body staggering and fell down, then turned around and walked towards the original crystal.
But the next second her hand was grabbed, which made her turn around in surprise.
"How can it be"
She didn't expect Joshua to be so resistant to sleeping magic.
"Don't underestimate the programmer's ability to stay up late." Qiao Xiu said. (.)
