I became the strongest beater in the thriller game

Chapter 7 Puppet Tourist Town (5)

The audience in the audience had a unified expression of sadness and anger, as if they were the puppets in the play. It is indeed rare for people to have such empathy.

Just when Su Yun wanted to take a closer look at what was being performed on the stage, a young woman walked from the side.

She looked about 26 years old, with big wavy hair, exquisite makeup, wearing a well-tailored cheongsam, and a plush vest draped over her shoulders. She looked very noble. She was very tall, about 1.7 meters tall, standing He was a few centimeters taller than Su Yun, holding a wooden folding fan in his hand, and had a friendly and touching smile.

She said: "Guest, do you want to watch a show?"

"My name is Aya, and I am the owner of the theater."

Su Yundao: "What kind of play is this? It's not like the plays on the canvas."

After saying this, something outrageous happened, and the originally sad singing stopped abruptly and turned into a somewhat cheerful tune.

Aya looked surprised, "How could it be possible?" She covered her lips with a folding fan with a smile, "Why are the guests looking at it again?"

Su Yun glanced past Aya, looked at the stage, and found that the puppets on the stage had been changed at some point, replaced by a group of exquisite puppets on the canvas, and the faces of the guests in the audience no longer looked sad and angry. They had different expressions. Some were interested in the music on stage, while others were bored.

Su Yun opened her eyes slightly and her heart beat faster. The scene in front of her seemed familiar. It was similar to the scene on the bus she saw on the first day of the game when she opened her eyes.

Aya curled her lips and began to introduce the song performed by the silk puppet on the stage. It was a romantic love story with a cheerful tone. Su Yun listened politely without interrupting. After Aya finished the introduction, she This explains the purpose of this trip.

"Boss, are you still recruiting apprentices here?"

Aya was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "It's a trick."

She looked at Su Yun intently and said, "You should have read the apprenticeship requirements. I don't have any requirements for your academic qualifications or industry. Now that traditional culture is declining, I just want to accept someone who can develop the puppet show." Yes, as long as you are interested in puppetry."

Seeing that Su Yun had no objection, Aya turned around and said, "Come with me, I will introduce you to him."

Su Yun nodded and followed. Aya, who was walking in front, introduced her and said, "Here you can get paid on a daily basis. Go to the theater at nine in the morning and get off work at 09:30 in the evening. I will let the puppet show master give you your salary, including Lunch, but accommodation is not included.”

"This is the stage. If you succeed in learning, you can perform on stage."

After walking past the stage and arriving at the backstage of the theater, Aya pointed to the closed door on the left, "That's the canteen over there. It's usually closed. It won't open until [-] noon. It will close at [-] o'clock. When you arrive, Just go in when the time comes.”

With that said, he led Su Yun upstairs. On the way, he met several theater staff who nodded and said hello to Aya.

Aya introduced in detail: The first floor is where employees often stay. Some scenery and props will be placed. Puppet shows should keep pace with the times. Not only puppets, but also more scenes, which makes it more attractive to watch. some.

The second floor is where the puppets are placed and where apprentices are taught.

There are some old objects placed on the third floor that are easily damaged and employees are not allowed to enter.

When she said this, she continued with a smile: "If you are curious and insist on going in, if you encounter something and get hurt, you will stay forever."

When she said this, her eyes were extremely soft, even faintly encouraging.

Su Yun guessed that players must meet certain conditions before NPCs in the dungeon can attack players.

As long as those conditions are not triggered, there is no life-threatening danger, and there is no need to be overly afraid of the dungeon NPC.

As long as the sudden noise didn't startle people, Su Yun could accept the fact that he was in the dungeon without changing his expression.

Seeing that Su Yun had no intention of exploring the third floor, Aya was a little uninterested. She led people into the second floor. There was a classical wall clock on the wall of the second floor. It swayed and swayed, showing that it was past eleven o'clock.

A small stage was set up in the middle, and there were many puppets in the hall. They were all kinds of puppets, but they were also traditional puppets. They were not as realistic as the ones hanging under the eaves of the B&B, but they were better than the impression. The appearance of the doll is more beautiful.

Su Yun took a quick look around and found that there were no ancient puppets that were performing on the stage at the beginning.

Aya smiled and said, "Isn't it much prettier than what you have seen before?"

Su Yun nodded honestly. These puppets are indeed beautiful. She has seen a kind of resin-type jointed puppets in reality. The price is not cheap. They are called bjd. The makeup on the powder paint looks very much like a real person, and it also achieves a beauty that cannot be achieved by real people.

The faces of the puppets here are not too generous to bjd.

Aya is very proud, "Puppet theater naturally has to keep pace with the times. Some people were afraid of the appearance of the puppets in the past, and few people watched them. Now the puppets are made into beautiful shapes,"

There will still be people who are afraid.

Su Yun thought silently, some people are born with a fear of humanoid things.

However, such a beautiful existence, if coupled with a brilliant script, would indeed be more attractive to watch.It seems that the mayor of Puppet Town and the owner of the theater really want the puppet show to flourish... Why?
Is it because of the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage, or... some other reason?
Not sure.

In addition to the hall with puppets on the second floor, there were also two rooms with doors. Both doors were closed. Aya knocked on one of them, "Xiao Zhang, here is the apprentice."

After saying this, the door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged woman walked out. She looked to be in her forties or fifty, her body was a little thin, but her eyes were very bright. Her eyes fell on Su Yun, she was slightly startled, and then she was delighted. .

Aya said, "Her name is Zhang Mu. She will teach you the silk puppet. You can call her Master."

Zhang Mu said with a smile, "If you don't take it seriously, just call me Sister Zhang from now on, or Xiao Zhang."

"..." Su Yun smiled, "Okay, Sister Zhang."

Aya obviously looks like she is in her twenties, still very young.

Are you of high seniority?Still have some weird quirks...

"My name is Su Yun. I will trouble Sister Zhang from now on."

Along the way, Aya didn't ask Su Yun what her name was. Su Yun was going to say it at first, but was interrupted. She seemed to have already known her name, or didn't care at all. Then she led Su Yun to introduce her, and all the way If you keep talking, you won’t have a chance to speak.

Zhang Mu didn't react much to Su Yun's name, and her joy did not change at all.

Aya's eyebrows were curved: "From now on, Ayun, you can study with Xiao Zhang. When you get off work in the evening, I will ask Xiao Zhang to pay you the salary. Although it is not too early now, it is also your first day here. , I will pay you a salary of one thousand after get off work tonight."

Su Yun was a little touched. She seemed to be a pretty good boss. At least she was much better than the boss who always made people work overtime and pointed fingers even though he clearly didn't understand.

After Aya finished speaking, she left.

Zhang Mu led the people to introduce the hanging silk puppet. A rope is tied to each of the puppet's hands, feet, shoulders, ears and the bottom of the spine, and is pulled by the fingers.The puppet will move according to your finger movements, and on this basis, it will be given charm.

Su Yun first followed Zhang Mu to learn about the hanging silk puppet. When it was time to eat, he asked Zhang Mu to go to the cafeteria to have lunch together. During the lunch break, Su Yun sat on the open-air stage on the first floor for a while.

The people watching the puppet show seemed to be the same group. They were eating the lunch provided by the theater while watching the play performed on the stage. The play was still the same one narrated by the boss. It was the time when the two happy enemies in love came to the stage because of a little The misunderstanding is resolved and the heart is opened.

Su Yun is not particularly interested in love dramas. The following content leads to a happy ending without any surprise. There is nothing special about it, and it does not trigger any tasks.

After that, during working hours, I continued to follow Zhang Mu to learn how to operate the silk puppet.

It doesn't take a day or night to learn to perform on the stage as a string puppet. Even if you remember it in your brain, you still need to practice it to give it the charm and make it look like a real person and interpret the life of an ordinary person.

Zhang Mu was very satisfied with this smart apprentice who studied hard, and the joy in his eyes came from the bottom of his heart. At 09:30 in the evening, Zhang Mu handed Su Yun his salary and told Su Yun to put the puppets away and clean up. Leave early and don't linger.

Zhang Mu said when leaving: "Everyone has gone back to their homes after get off work at this time. Ayun had better go back to the hotel quickly and stop playing at night. It will be time to turn off the lights in the town. It is dark at night, so don't walk at night. If you fall, it won’t look good for such a big beauty.”

She actually seemed to be really reminding herself.This made Su Yun very surprised.

After all, the receptionist and the boss could tell from their words that they really wanted her to stay.

After Zhang Mu left, Su Yun cleaned up the practicing puppets and put them back to their original positions. He also cleaned the stage and the second floor, and went downstairs after doing this.

Just like what Zhang Mu said, the old employees of the theater had left long ago, and she was the last to leave. When she arrived on the first floor, she saw the door of the cafeteria open, with dim lights on inside, and an alluring smell. The aroma hits your nostrils.

She couldn't smell the specific dish, but it was very tempting to a greedy person. In addition, the theater did not include food in the afternoon, so she had no money to go out of the theater to buy food, so she was starving now.

Lured by the scent, my stomach rumbled happily, unusually loud in the quiet theater at night.

Su Yun didn't say anything, just raised his legs and ran away.

The cafeteria is usually closed except for one hour at noon.

Although he was very hungry, he only had one life.Don't try it easily.

When he came to the amphitheater in the theater, Su Yun paused.

Logically, the theater should have dispersed by now, and the staff had gone home, but a puppet show was being performed on the stage, with faintly desolate background music and the plaintive singing voice of the female puppet.

There was only one person sitting in the auditorium, and the others were empty. That person was sitting in the center of the auditorium, and his figure looked very familiar.

...Aya?
Su Yun's expression was solemn, no, that's not Aya.
