Chapter 1563 Drama Shadow Box
In addition to Jebo, Qili actually mentioned a few players she cared about.
They were "Philosopher" Onassis, "Phantom Deer" Trom, and "Cold-eyed Cat" Ye He.
Angel had heard of two of these three. One was Onassis, and the other was Ye He.
In Qili's words, she was confused about Onassis. She had watched Onassis's games, but she didn't understand every game, so she cared about him.
Although Qili didn't say it clearly about Ye He, Angel could hear that Qili obviously had a kind of rejection towards Ye He. Moreover, when Ye He was mentioned, the one who reacted the most was not Qili, but Luna, who was squatting on Angel's legs and pretending to sleep.
This was the first time Angel saw Luna's hair standing up except during the battle. In her lazy eyes, there was a rare flash of anger.
Luna's big reaction made Angel couldn't help but wonder if Ye He did something to Luna?
As for the "Phantom Deer" Trom, Qili just mentioned it calmly, saying that he was a strong opponent.
Among the three, Qili was most concerned about the "philosopher".
According to Qili's description, so far, no one among the contestants has figured out how Onassis defeated his opponent. If Onassis's methods are not correctly deciphered in the future, she may lose if she meets Onassis.
Seeing Qili's serious look, Angell also became interested in this "philosopher".
He looked at the battle schedule and planned to see when the philosopher's next game would be. If he was free, he could go and see.
However, when he found the philosopher, he found that he had won seven games in a row, and he only had one game left in the semi-finals, and it would be in the early hours of tomorrow morning.
According to the original plan, Angell would be busy with the transplantation of the deformed soft worm skin and the lucky scroll, so his game would probably not be able to be watched.
Angell felt a little regretful, and it seemed that he could only wait for the final ranking game and the finals.
After saying goodbye to Qili, Angel returned to the manor.
After entrusting Toby to Graya, Angel entered the secret room alone to prepare for skin transplantation.
…
The night sky was starless, the moon was covered by thick clouds, and the world was dark.
A girl about ten years old ran through the forest in panic and came to the coast. She was wearing a tattered long skirt and barefoot, running away on the beach, but she was tripped by a shell after running a few steps.
Not only did she fall to the ground, but her calf was scratched with a bloody wound.
The girl gasped, with obvious pain on her face.
At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the forest behind her. The girl turned her head, her eyes widened, and her face was full of panic.
"Oh no, they are chasing me, I must leave here, I have to find my mother..." The girl supported the blood-stained sand and slowly stood up.
She wanted to drag her injured feet and continue to run forward.
But she fell down again after running less than ten meters. This time, she didn't trip, but someone threw a stone from the direction of the forest, hitting her ankle, causing her to lose balance and fall.
As she fell, a scarecrow with a crooked neck jumped out of the forest.
"Don't think about running away until you finish playing all the projects on the toy island." The scarecrow made a buzzing sound.
The girl showed a helpless look on her face: "No, I want to go home, I want to find my mother..."
"No, you must go back with me. Children should play with toys, and put other things aside." The scarecrow jumped towards the girl.
The girl slumped on the ground and kept backing away. The wet and cold sea breeze messed up her hair, making her look even more desolate.
"It's obviously not like this. Doesn't the book say that Toy Island is a paradise? Why is it like this?"
"Of course Toy Island is a paradise. You have to continue to experience it to know."
"I don't want it. I saw it. Those people were dismembered by you. The puppets are crying. They are crying blood and tears. They are not toys at all, but people!"
The scarecrow's voice, which was originally tempting, suddenly changed: "So you have seen it... Then there is no way, only to take you back to the toy pool... Let you become one of us. Do you want to be a puppet without eyes or a headless doll?"
When the voice fell, the curtain of the night was suddenly torn apart, revealing Greya's expressionless face.
Greya yawned and turned off the weird box in her hand.
"What the hell is this? It's totally out of place. It can't be compared with the alchemical illusion refined by Angel." Greya couldn't help complaining.
The scene changes just now are actually something called "Drama Shadow Box".
When Graya went to the main city during the day, she accidentally saw a popular alchemy shop, which sold this thing. According to the shop owner, the origin of these "drama shadow boxes" is a special drama playback device made by Angel. The ones sold in the shop were imitated and made by an alchemist who had attended Angel's class.
They started selling yesterday and became very popular as soon as they were sold.
Graya also saw that a large number of apprentices were rushing to buy them. Although the shop owner did not directly sell them under the banner of Angel, the focus of the gimmick was definitely Angel.
The so-called drama shadow box looks very similar to the "Shadow of the Cage", which shows that what the shop owner said is also partly true, and the refiner must have seen the "Shadow of the Cage".
Greya had experienced "The Shadow of the Cage" before. It must be said that the experience was indeed very interesting, but what Greyya was not satisfied with was that she did not like the story of "The Shadow of the Cage" very much.
So, when she saw this drama shadow box, Greyya was also very curious.
She walked in and found that the stories in these drama shadow boxes were quite colorful. Among them, the most popular among women was "The Twelve Knights of the Saint", and the most popular among men was "The Phantom of the Fog City".
According to her own preferences, Greyya chose a more popular fairy tale: "The Bloody Nightmare of Toy Island".
Greyya went to see it with great expectations, but unfortunately the more she watched, the more bored she became.
This illusion was definitely not made by a real illusion wizard. It was probably a cross-training practice, and it seemed that he had only practiced illusion for a short time. The illusion full of loopholes made Greyya, a perfectionist, crazy.
The sea breeze blows, the hair flutters in the wind, a few strands of hair brush past the corners of the lips, and the girl's crystal tears make the picture really beautiful... But! You have to follow a basic logic! The hair just brushes past the corners of the lips, not resting on the lips. The secretion from this girl's mouth is not saliva, but glue, right? Can it last for half an hour? !
Also, your hair is flying, which means the wind is strong, and your skirt is motionless. Is it made of iron?
This scene that does not conform to basic logic, Greya is really powerless to complain. If it is just one place, it's fine, and there are more than one place! This instantly reduces the sense of substitution.
The transition between shots and scenes is completely incomparable with the shadow of the cage.
Although the story is "The Bloody Nightmare of Toy Island", the ability to tell stories is completely inconsistent with the illusion itself.
If Greya had not read the fairy tale "The Bloody Nightmare of Toy Island", she might not even understand the plot.
Of course, it is not without merits. A real drama cannot have such a large setting. But other than that, Greya could not see any artistry.
Moreover, it ruined a fairy tale that she liked very much.
Greya was very upset and wanted to rush to Angel immediately to let him see what he taught.
However, Angel was carrying out an important skin transplant of deformed soft worms at this time, so Greya resisted the urge.
When Greya was feeling depressed, the voice of housekeeper No. 1 "Welcome Master" came from outside the hall.
Greya looked up and saw Sanders pushing open the door and walking in.
Because Horus came to the Sky Mechanical City, Sanders was basically stationed in the Savage Cave and rarely appeared in the manor. It was rare to see him come back once, Greya squinted and walked over.
"I have an alchemical illusion here, do you want to come and see it?" Greya spread her hands and revealed the "Drama Shadow Box".
Graya deliberately didn't say that this drama shadow box was not made by Angel, just to make Sanders think that it was made by Angel, and to watch it with expectation... Then, with Sanders' vision as a "master of illusion", it would be very interesting to nitpick the inconsistencies in the illusion.
However, Sanders glanced at the drama shadow box and said lightly: "This is not made by Angel."
"Ah?" Graya was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Sanders saw through it at a glance.
"He would not choose such expensive materials when refining alchemical illusions, because it is a waste."
Having said that, Sanders still took the drama shadow box and asked about its specific origin.
Graya shrugged: "It should be that someone learned it when Angel was teaching. The refining is actually not bad. Are you really not going to take a look?"
Sanders thought about it, and still opened the drama shadow box and watched the whole process.
After watching it, Greya looked at Sanders with expectation, but found that he had no reaction at all. Instead, he pondered for a moment: "It's not bad."
Greya: ? ? ?
"If the audience is an ordinary apprentice, it is difficult to see the sense of disobedience. Moreover, there is still room for improvement." Sanders said pertinently.
Greya: "..." Why does she feel that she has cheated herself, because she specially watched it again for Sanders to watch.
Sanders really praised, because any form of artistic expression cannot be achieved overnight and reach a high level immediately.
Maybe this refining is really not good, but through the drama shadow box, a gap has been opened in this new type of artistic expression, and there will naturally be opportunities for a hundred flowers to bloom in the future.
Greya felt unhappy, but it was because of her preconceived ideas. If she looks at it with a long-term perspective, this discomfort will be reduced.
Sanders is very happy about the future.
After handing the drama film box back to Greya, Sanders changed the subject and asked, "By the way, where is Angel now?"
