Chapter 253 The Beast of Humanity
"Ha~ I'm really not suitable to see this thing." Aaron said slowly while yawning and rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"I'm not suitable either, so I can't appreciate it." Lan Tian nodded in agreement.
If you say these two are really a waste of resources. They are enough to live a month's ticket for those slums outside. They were wasted by them. Not even ten minutes after the drama started, the two people who had passed the novelty could no longer focus on the actors who performed hard on the stage. In the play for several hours, Lan Tian stared blankly without blinking. Obviously, he simply gave up the terminal here and ran to the Internet. Aaron even made up for the scene. Although the two who came to make trouble last night were not very capable, they disturbed Aaron's dream. The musty old sofa was not a good environment to contribute to high-quality sleep. It was not as comfortable as the high-end seats in the theater that were sitting in a cloud.
Fortunately, these two people were not originally here, and they didn't feel sorry for it. Their real purpose was to investigate Jeona's previous whereabouts, and without a reliable official identity, they could only take secret investigations.
Logically speaking, the people should part with each other, but after singing the opera, few of the guests left directly. It was not that the opera at the Paris Opera was so moving that the guests were lingering, but that most of these guests were not very interested in the opera itself. The reason why they spent a lot of money to buy tickets was more to visit the Paris Opera, a cultural relic building that had been standing for hundreds of years, to satisfy their petty bourgeois mood.
This is the benefit of the profound heritage. Although the city of Paris is now known as the city of crime, the heritage of the romantic capital in the first two centuries is still there. Many people come to visit with curiosity even though they know that it is dangerous. Every year, Paris still enters more than one million foreign tourists to visit. Even the local gangs have made an agreement with each other that although they can make money when treating tourists, they must not be detrimental to life, otherwise the tourists will be scared away and no one will do business.
Since there was such a consensus, Aaron and Lantian simply pretended to be tourists lingering in the opera house to see if they could find out some past news about Jeanna.
But before they could take two steps, a middle-aged gentleman-looking terminal took the initiative to come up and stop them.
"Is there anything wrong?" Aaron looked up and down at the terminal that seemed to have come out of the late nineteenth century, and was secretly guarded.
"The two seem to be quite interested in the opera house, why don't I introduce you to the two?" The terminal seems to be a tour guide of two people.
"Is it charged?" Aaron was not sure whether the other party was doing business or had other plans, so he asked tentatively.
"There is no charge. The two have already paid the fee when purchasing the tickets. How can I pay for it again? But I saw that the two guests were not very concerned about watching the drama, so I thought they should have come with the intention of visiting." The terminal smiled gently.
"That's how." Aaron was calm on the surface but was shocked. The machine said that they were not concerned about watching the show. The meaning of the words was obviously that he was monitored by someone when he was watching the show. Otherwise, who would stare at the two tourists in the dark audience?
"Since there is no charge, why bother to go shopping?" Lan Tian relied on her own that she was very bold. Her military-type drone could not be seen on the surface. If she really made a powerful move, she would probably be able to tear down most of this cultural and material heritage.
"Please follow me, I promise not to let you down." The terminal that stopped them smiled warmly, and took them leisurely across the sunny side corridor, all the way to a separate small screening hall.
This small screening hall is not big, and at most it only takes a dozen people. The promotional posters on the wall should be the place to do the troupe's historical exhibition. There is also a holographic projector right in front of it, which may be used to play some famous dramas.
"Please sit two people." The terminal brought the two to the front seats, and then the holographic projector released a few minutes long image. It was the opening part of the drama "Phantom of the Opera" they had just watched, but the actors seemed to be different from the scene just now.
"What are you doing for us?" Ah Long Er was confused. Since he was watching a show and watching a sleeping scene was in the eyes of the other party, he still didn't understand that he knew nothing about drama and was not interested in it?
"Don't be impatient, please take a look at this again." The terminal smiled and didn't explain, and then released a record video on the terminal for a few minutes.
It’s still "Phantom of the Opera" or the scene just now, but the actors are different, and this time there is no set or makeup, so it’s obviously a rehearsal, not a formal performance.
But this time Aaron and Lantian were both focused on it because they noticed at first sight that the girl who played the heroine was no one else but Jeanna who was going to investigate. Moreover, Jeanna in the image was younger than Jeanna who was a perverted peeping record. She looked at at most fourteen or fifteen years old. What made the two even more amazing is that although Jeanna's performance was very astringent and tender, far less outstanding than the actors she had seen before, she felt that it was indescribable and could attract people's attention.
"You know what we are doing." Aaron glanced at the terminal, and the business smile on the other person's face was like a mask that made people unable to see through.
"Yes, I know that the two are here to investigate her disappearance." The terminal nodded.
"Missing?" Aaron noticed the other party's words.
"Yes, I'd rather treat her as missing. I don't accept her death." The terminal's voice finally trembled, which was caused by the direct emotional fluctuations of the person who controlled the terminal behind him.
"Tell me, no matter what your plans are, we will listen." Aaron wondered for a moment whether this person would be the perverted client who disappeared after he arrived in Paris. But after thinking about it carefully, he decided not to point it out, because even if he was right, he might not admit it, but if he guessed it wrong, it would cause misunderstandings in vain.
"Do you two know what is the most expensive thing in Paris?" The terminal nodded and suddenly asked a question that seemed irrelevant.
Aaron and Lantian didn't say anything. They were not natives from Paris. Just guessing casually would only make people feel superficial.
"Human nature." The terminal sighed and gave the answer.
"Human nature?" The blue sky is unclear.
"Yes, human nature." The terminal sighed deeper, "I'll tell the truth. This city of Paris is the hell on earth. Everyone born here, no matter rich or poor, conservatively conservatively the torment of the fire of hell. In order to survive, the poor abandoned human nature early and became cruel and cunning like wild animals. The rich used extravagance to numb themselves, and lost their human nature in the process of trampling on others' dignity and life. When they discovered the glory of human nature, these people seemed to smell the smell of blood and attacked them, wishing they could pull out the man's brain and suck the last trace of human nature inside to satisfy the black hole in their hearts."
"It's worthy of being at the Paris Opera House, you can tell the cruel things so artistically." Aaron smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"I just watched the clip for you not a moment. You two think Jeona's acting ability as an actor?" The terminal ignored Aaron's sarcasm and asked seriously.
"It's very immature and lacks basic skills." Aaron commented as objectively as possible, "But... how to say it? The drama she acts are touching, which is touching compared to those before."
"This is the power of human nature." The terminal nodded in agreement. "By modern technology, actors no longer have to rely on their talents. Nano machines can make a person who doesn't understand the drama at all perfectly imitate any performer in history. What the two of them saw on stage today are just puppets dancing with technology, but Jeanna is different. She is a natural actor and she has the talent to motivate people's emotions."
"But as far as I know, she has only worked as a handyman in this theater?" Lan Tian said strangely when he heard this.
"Yes, this was arranged by me." The terminal nodded.
"Why? Since you have talent, isn't it good to let her be an actor?" Lan Tian felt very surprised.
"Miss, I just said that human nature is the most expensive, right?" Terminal sighed deeply, "If I let her become an actor, she will definitely become a hit. People in Paris have a sharp sense of human nature, especially those 'top people' who climbed up on other people's bodies. They will notice Jeanna at the first time. Do you think Jeanna can still maintain her appearance as before she became an actor? Even if luck is not forced, how long can she hold on in the face of the corrosion of wealth and reputation?"
"This..." Lan Tian stopped talking. Although she was not a star-chasing person, how quickly those Internet celebrities fell into depravity often heard about it, let alone a large dye vat like Paris.
"In this way, you don't let her become an actor to protect her." Aaron said.
"Protection? No, no, no." A distorted wry smile suddenly appeared on the gentleman's face of the terminal. "I am just a beast that demands human nature, but compared to those more hungry guys, I only like to appreciate quietly, which makes me feel that I can still live as a human being."
