Chapter 47 Hate Crimes Act
A sprig of lily of the valley.The stems and leaves are emerald green, the flowers are bright and clean, fresh and moist as new.At first glance, there is nothing special about it. Only a close inspection reveals the small gold nib at the end of the stem.

The blond young man Iden took it off his collar, and then simply drew a square frame against the stone wall.The light blue ink soaked into the wall, and quickly turned dark black after contacting the air.

He reached out and pushed on the stone wall.The ink line turned into a real crack in the door at some point, and the wall opened to the opposite side like a stone door.Behind the stone wall is an ornate room, brightly lit.

"Go to the Nightingale Theater for details."

He stepped into the door first, followed by Jing Juan, and Yale Liga who was hiding in the shadows also followed.

Luo Binhan was still amazed at the "painted door".When he passed by, he glanced carefully, and found that the door seemed to exist in the room, and it was the only exit of the room.

Firewood was burning in the fireplace in the room, and on the left was a whole row of floor-to-ceiling windows, covered by several dark red velvet curtains, with only a few gaps exposed.The mahogany floor seemed to have aged and creaked slightly when someone walked on it.

Eden sat down in an armchair in front of the fireplace.To his right is a bookshelf as high as the roof, and in the distance is an exquisite grandfather clock.The clock face is dominated by dark oak, and four spiral columns support the ruffled brass dial.The reliefs on the side of the clock are densely covered with vines, olive branches, roses, lilies, hydrangeas, irises, laurel, anemones... the dazzling pictures of hundreds of flowers seem to describe the dreamy scene of heaven.

The only thing that surprised Luo Binhan was that the grandfather clock seemed to have been damaged.The pendulum behind its glazed partition is an upside-down lotus, swaying like the wind blowing across the lake.However, the four hands on the lotus leaf clock dial—Luo Binhan counted again—three of the four hands were still.Only the shortest black needle spun wildly like flying.

That obviously exceeded the running speed of the normal second hand, making Luo Binhan feel in a trance that his life seemed to be disappearing mysteriously.

Jing Huang also saw the clock.He said uncomfortably, "Is it necessary to go to this level? Are you too cautious?"

"It's an insurance policy."

Eden, who was sitting in the armchair, replied.He gently opened the jacket, and a mechanical bird with glittering pearls flew out from the inside pocket.

a nightingale.Each of its feathers was made of gold, and at the end of the barn was inlaid with fine gemstones, its wings were of ruby ​​and emerald, its tail feathers were of sapphire and lapis lazuli, and its neck and belly were of diamonds and crystals of various colors.

This priceless artificial nightingale sat on Eden's shoulder.It looks back and forth, observing its surroundings with obsidian-inlaid eyes, and its every move is lifelike.When Eden put his fingers on its head, a series of melodious and crisp chirps came out from the beak carved from white jade.

Eden put it in the golden birdcage on the low table in his left hand.Nightingale leaped onto the crossbar nimbly and stopped with her topaz claws.It continued to look around in the cage, and Luo Binhan could even feel its vigilance and anxiety from that movement.

Jing Huang had no interest in this peculiar mechanical bird, he just sat down on the acanthus pattern cloth sofa opposite Eden.Allerica stood silently behind him, not intending to sit down.

Luo Binhan read an invisible tension from the attitudes of these two people.He realized that Jing Juan was actually more wary of the gentle and indifferent blond man in front of him than the giant dragon with an age of over [-] million.

Momolo tugged at his sleeves lightly, and the two of them sat on the side cushioned bench.The chair was spacious enough for three people to sit together, but Momolo deliberately got close to him, enough to deal with accidents in the first place.

The five were relatively silent, only the crackling of firewood in the fireplace.After a long time, Jing Huang raised her feet on the sofa.

"The atmosphere is not quite right... Even though leaving messages and graffiti at the garbage station is just a matter of local customs, I didn't have so many nonsense content when I looked for you last time. What's going on? As the lord of the gate city, you, No matter how much you dislike fire thieves, you won't deliberately incite others to make trouble in your territory, right?"

He touched his cheek gloomily.

"And that broken stone tablet, is it going crazy? I just cleared the wall. Why did it rush up and beat me?"

"Because you violated a taboo." Eden said calmly, "You let other people's blood fall on the ground, and the Golem will not consider the motive of your actions."

"Then it arrests those who wrote in blood! Don't arrest those who throw things, but you arrest me for washing the wall?"

"That can't be done, because they haven't broken the law."

Jing Huang looked at him inexplicably.

Eden got up from the main seat and walked to the window covered by the red velvet curtain.He looked into the depths of the gap and said: "The tip of the city is an abandoned place, and the damage caused there does not violate the rules."

"I know that. But aren't they written with cursed blood? This is considered taboo for hurting others, right?"

"They used their own blood," Eden said.

Jing Huang raised his head slightly.Eden looked at him indifferently.

"They put a curse on themselves, and then took blood to write those words. It is not clear what kind of curse it is, but the Golden Guard has not found the body so far, so it must not be the type of death."

"...Is it necessary to make this happen? Even if they wiped out the city, the magic power formed would not be able to hurt a single hair of the fire thief? Then again, you are really good enough, you have clearly avoided the fire thief The fireman ran away, and he would inevitably be implicated in the end."

Jing Huang's words were mixed with disgust and schadenfreude, as if she didn't intend to hide from her master at all.He followed up and continued: "Recently, the wind is getting tighter and tighter. It is impossible for a place like yours to be chaotic. This is what you are having a headache for? You want me to write those who wrote curses?" The text mouse caught out?"

"No," Eden said. "Those blood curses are irrelevant. What you need to solve is another matter."

The crimson velvet curtain behind him opened slowly to both sides without wind, revealing the strange scene outside the window.

A theater the size of a basketball court.It has thirteen rows of red cloth seats to form the auditorium, the floor is covered with velvet carpets woven with flowers, and six crystal chandeliers illuminate the entire space brightly.

The room where everyone is located is located behind and above the auditorium, like a box on the second floor specially prepared for VIPs.However, there was no one on the stage and auditorium at this time, making this magnificent and elegant place a bit gloomy.

Eden walked back to the main seat slowly.The golden nightingale in the cage uttered a chirp.

The lights in the theater went out suddenly, the music played softly, and the actors appeared from both sides of the stage.They are all puppets in costumes, with ingenious joint designs on their hands, feet, neck and waist, allowing them to move freely and flexibly.The sculpted face is matched with clever makeup, which can be seen from a distance.

The light and shadow on the curtain change, and the creepy story begins:
——The cat man lives in the pavilion, playing with the mermaid in the water.Suddenly an iron net descended from the sky, trapping him inside.A hunter came running in the distance, shot him dead with a gun, and then skinned and boned him.

——The mother walks in the forest, holding the young child in her arms to comfort her.The wolf-faced monster came out of the darkness.It crushed the mother's head, dyed the dress and necklace red, and left the young son howling on the spot.

——Gnome cruise ship merchant, hidden jewels in the chest.The masked man threatened him with a knife, took away the jewels and then slit his throat and hanged him.

The puppets dance together on the stage. Although there is no line, the details are clear.After the three acts were performed one after another, the bleak music stopped abruptly.

The stage closed, the lights came on, and everything went back to normal.
