Chapter 94 You are the music
The gentleman is not a newcomer to the mysterious field. It is reasonable for him to discover the rat he sent to follow him.
Chen Lun also expected that it would not be so easy, and was ready to find another way.
It was already very late when we returned to Jack Manor from the society meeting.
But he found that the lights were still on in the living room on the first floor of the villa.
Opening the door and going in, he found Floy sitting on the sofa. When he heard the sound of him opening the door, he raised his head slightly.
"You're back."
A familiar voice came.
"I told you many times that you don't have to wait for me, Floy."
Chen Lun said softly, came to the table, picked up the water that Floy had prepared for him, and raised his head to take a sip.
Floy shook his head slightly and did not respond.
After a while.
"Tomorrow... I want to go to the opera house."
she whispered.
Chen Lun was slightly startled, wondering why she suddenly had this idea.
But he didn't ask any more questions and nodded after thinking for a moment.
"Go ahead and ask Connie to come with you."
Floy shook her head.
"Can you go with me?"
She paused and added:
“I haven’t been able to go to the Dolphin Opera House in the outer city before…”
Chen Lun glanced at her in surprise. Floy meant that it was just the two of them.
He gently put down the water glass, hummed, and said:
"Of course."
A smile appeared on Floy's face.
Chen Lun returned to the room.
He turned on the desk lamp, sat by the window, took out the title page, and planned to study it again.
After spending some time, he read the text several times from the beginning. I looked at the front and back and every detail repeatedly, and also tried to look at it backwards and from different angles...
In the end, Chen Lun came to the conclusion that there was no difference.
There is just a rule. Every time he looks at it, his sanity value will be reduced by 1 point.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was a suction force on the title page, which not only sucked away his reason, but also wanted to suck away all his spirit and soul.
It seemed eager.
……
Chen Lun and Floy returned to the outer city again.
They went to visit Mrs. Caroline and were warmly invited to drink a cup of scented tea, which was said to be the latest brewing method developed by Mrs. Caroline. Chen Lun didn't do anything great with the drink, but it did seem to taste a little better under the psychological influence.
After declining the invitation to stay for dinner, Chen Lun secretly told Babu, the border shepherd, to take good care of Mrs. Caroline.
Babu barked twice and licked Chen Lun's big hand flatteringly to show his understanding.
Chen Lun secretly took out a [Low Sequence Conspiracy Faction Mysterious Substance], rolled it into a gray mud ball, and fed it to Babu.
It first backed away in disgust, then smelled something, and the gray pellet had a strange attraction, so it couldn't help but swallow it in one gulp.
"Be good..."
Chen Lun touched its head and chuckled.
After Babu digests this mysterious substance, his body will become more sensitive and his presence in the eyes of others can be reduced. Although it can't be said to be an extraordinary creature, it is still much stronger than an ordinary hound.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Lun took Floy out of No. 7 Denton Street and went to the Dolphin Opera House.
Approaching the gate of the Opera House, Chen Lun saw many numb-looking people walking out of a warehouse on the roadside. Most of them were dressed in rags, and their bodies were dirty as if they hadn't been washed for a long time.
"That's 'Crow Shelter.'"
Floy explained from the side.
"I usually let Connie read books to me at home, and I learned a lot about Amber City... That warehouse is a shelter for the lower-class civilians in the outer city. You only need to pay one copper crown to take a rest there. Evening.”
She shook her head slightly, seeming sympathetic.
"But it's very crowded inside. There are no beds or bedding, and there is no bathing place... There is only a bench to sit and sleep on.
If the seats are full, you can only sleep on a hemp rope. There are often dozens of people hanging on one rope. ”
Chen Lun looked at these people silently.
He understands that tragedy is the keynote of this world.
The so-called laughter is just a treasure that only a few people have.
"Let's go."
The door of the Dolphin Opera House is open, and there are three windows at the ticket office at the door.
Chen Lun bought the ticket and walked in with Floy.
Although it is an opera house, it is actually more like a vast park inside. There are many vegetation and forest gardens, as well as artificial lakes and marine aquariums.
One of the reasons why it is called "Dolphin Opera House" is that there are dolphin performances for viewing in the marine aquarium here.
Next to it is the Opera House.
Chen Lun and Floy walked straight into the opera house and handed their tickets to the ticket inspector at the door. The latter tore the ticket open and left the ticket stub for the two of them to keep.
The ticket Chen Lun bought was for a seat near the front. Of course, the price would be a little higher, but he didn't care about the small amount of money now. Floy has sensitive senses, but after all, he has no vision and cannot see specific pictures.
We can only try to get her as close to the stage as possible so that she can hear the sound more clearly.
After the two sat down, Floy said softly:
"Thank you."
When she bought the ticket just now, she heard Chen Lun's special instructions and knew that the seat was towards the front.
Chen Lun smiled and did not respond, but said:
"It's about to begin."
As the audience takes their seats, ticket takers close the doors to the opera house.
The curtain on the stage opened, and several opera singers in ostentatious costumes appeared.
The play being performed is called "The Mute Clown", which tells the story of a mute boy who was sold by his parents to work as a clown in a circus.
A mute boy was bullied at the circus, but because he couldn't speak, he could only keep it in his mind. He didn't dare to take action when he was angry, so he could only use exaggerated movements and expressions to vent and cry silently.
But unfortunately, the more excited he gets, the funnier he looks, the happier others will laugh.
During the break of the cello solo, the mute boy danced crazily on the stage, and the narration sang to the melody of an aria:
"Promise me that when you suffer, you will not tell anyone for sympathy, because you are unique in the world, and even your pain is unique. It is so unique that no one knows it.
Sympathy from others only trivializes your pain, making it less unique and demeaning you as a person.
Singing loudly caused the mountains to respond, sighing left the empty valley alone to disappear... Why is everything so quiet at this moment? ”
As the tone rises, the violin suddenly breaks in.
The opera reaches its climax.
The circus leader had an affair with an aristocratic lady who came to watch the performance. The noble lady's father was furious because of this, and the circus leader was afraid, so he pushed out the mute clown as a scapegoat, which eventually led to him being killed by a gunman in public. Die on stage.
The leader and the noble lady flew away and lived a happy life.
The song ends.
From beginning to end, no one loves the Joker.
His death was unimportant and his heart was unheard.
Chen Lun and Floy followed the crowd and left the venue, while Floy remained silent the entire time. She listened to the whole opera attentively. The mute clown's experience was very similar to hers, and she easily became involved.
Just one of them opened his mouth and said nothing, and the other looked at nothing.
"Who is the author of this play?"
Floy was a little curious.
Chen Lun looked up and glanced at the poster outside the opera house, which had the author and introduction of the opera on it.
"Howard the Tragedian."
After hearing the name, Floy nodded slightly.
Chen Lun didn't want her to be affected by the sadness of the opera, so he proposed to take her to the Ocean Aquarium, and Floy hummed.
Wow!
Dolphins leap from the water and swallow small fish thrown by the keeper.
With a splash, he got into the water again.
The two stood by the glass fence and watched the performance inside.
"Tell me, do I look like that 'mute clown'?"
Floy asked.
Chen Lun stood beside her and felt that her mood was a little negative.
I sighed in my heart.
"You're different from him, Floy..."
Chen Lun said, wanting to comfort her, but didn't know how to continue.
Perhaps as Floy herself said, she had never been afraid of death before, because being trapped in darkness was the same as death.
But he saved her from the darkness and allowed her to see what sunshine was.
But this ray of sunlight was too dazzling, making her unable to see even her fingers.
And the countdown to death is like the scorching sun, which slowly evaporates the water of life exposed to the sun.
"Sorry, I know I'm too negative."
Floy pretended to be relaxed.
"But don't worry, I'm just feeling a little emotional... It would be great if someone could listen to the 'mute clown'."
"Floy, the deep sound cannot be heard by the ears, but as long as someone is listening, then he himself is music..."
The black-haired young man in front of him looked straight ahead and spoke calmly.
Floy was slightly startled.
She suddenly felt a desire to open her eyes again and see his profile.
Yes...
Even if that person can't hear my voice, as long as he is listening, I am his most beautiful music.
I am not a "mute clown"...
I am your "Sister Silence"——
Floy.
