Chapter 180: Law of Beauty
Silence, complete silence————·
As the final scene ended, everyone in the theater seemed to have lost their souls.
Even though everyone had guessed the ending of the story was destined not to be happy. However, they had completely not expected that the story's ending would conclude with Olivia's self-sacrifice. There was no love line, and no grand wedding at the end;
All motives had been premeditated. Olivia's sacrifice had already been foreshadowed in the first act.
And what the new version of the final act left behind was only a Curse protecting the sea tribe, and Olina's figure constantly reaching out to grasp the foam, only to suddenly become powerless. Thus, the entire play ended.
"Clap clap—"
"Clap clap clap—."
"Clap clap clap clap—"
After a brief silence, the entire theater erupted in thunderous applause. It was like a tsunami, wave after wave, that lingered throughout the theater, unable to stop for a long time.
"Why did Olivia die in the end—"
Hidden beneath the applause were several audience members who were unable to calm their emotions for a long time because of Olivia's sacrifice.
And in order not to let others see their embarrassment, they would quietly wipe away the tears from the corners of their eyes while the lights were not yet on.
Among them was Vivian, who usually wasn't easily moved to tears.
"Damn it—. It's Lunar New Year, why did Jia Na invite me to watch this play—. It's really annoying......"
Gently sniffing, as long as she recalled the sorrowful tears on Olina's face when Olivia sacrificed herself, Vivian, who had immersed herself as Olina throughout, couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her nose.
"So annoying!"
"Richard, did you bring tissues."
Just as Richard-Eva was still immersed in the final emotions, applauding continuously, a faint voice transmission suddenly sounded beside his ear.
"No, just make do with your sleeve—"
"Shhh— Seeing that Richard-Eva completely disregarded his private voice transmission and directly exposed Suo Luo-Lie Yan's careful thoughts in a loud manner, Suo Luo-Lie Yan, whose snot was almost flowing into his mouth, couldn't care less about anything else. After quickly wiping his snot with his sleeve, he immediately covered Richard-Eva's loose mouth.
"What are you talking about? I didn't cry!"
"I didn't say you cried—"
Seeing that he had fallen into Richard-Eva's trap in his haste, Suo Luo-Lie Yan viciously rubbed the sleeve stained with snot on the other party's back. Then, grinding his teeth, he turned his head away, no longer paying attention to the snickering Richard-Eva beside him.
"It's okay, crying while watching a play isn't embarrassing, let alone Jia Na's play—"
"Alright!"
Bang. Just as the two were still bickering, the lights in the theater suddenly brightened. Perhaps because they had been accustomed to the dark environment for a long time, the sudden turn of the lights made people feel like they couldn't open their eyes.
"Jia Na— What's wrong?"
Backstage, Liji-Xiaosi, who saw Jia Na keeping her head down ever since she came down from the stage, thought the other party was temporarily unable to pull herself out of her emotions. After wiping the tears from her face, she walked over and gently held Jia Na's hand.
"Your hand is so cold—"
"Everyone was amazing————Hmm? What's wrong with you all, why are you all gathered together— Jia Na, are you okay? Are you tired?"
David-Berg, who originally wanted to rush backstage to praise all the main actors, saw everyone gathered around Jia Na. The words that were already on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down.
Immediately, David-Berg also quickly walked to Jia Na's side, looking at this "opera treasure" he had discovered with concern.
"I'm fine, I was just caught up in the emotions and hadn't had time to pull myself out yet."
Speaking with unspoken words, her breath was like a gentle orchid.
She merely sat there, and everyone would spontaneously gather around, starting to inquire about her well-being and offering sincere greetings from the bottom of their hearts.
And just a brief sentence could make everyone present unconsciously choose to believe.
It was as if Jia Na was their most concerned, most trusted central figure. Whatever she said, whatever she did, even if it was wrong, they would unconsciously start to make excuses for her in their hearts, assuming she must have some unspeakable difficulties that were inconvenient to mention. "Jia Na, if you're not feeling well, rest well backstage. At worst, you won't go up for the curtain call later—"
As he said this, David-Berg's back suddenly shivered. Immediately, he began to regret the words he had just spoken.
After all, the main actors' curtain call has always been a tradition in all opera circles, and at the same time, it is a major way for the audience to voluntarily offer flowers to their favorite actors and increase revenue for the theater.
If Director Roman-Roland knew that David-Berg dared to say something so outrageous as letting Jia Na stay backstage to rest instead of taking a curtain call without his permission, he might just rush onto the stage and slap him to death.
But—.
Looking at Jia Na, who was currently being supported by Liji-Xiaosi and sitting on the sofa, although most of her face was covered by the hair hanging down on both sides, there seemed to be a peculiar magic that made David-Berg not want to, and unwilling to force Jia Na to do anything she didn't want to do.
Even if he was scolded by the Director, this thought did not waver—
At this moment, Jia Na, who was unaware of David-Berg's rich inner activity, was indeed in an "inconvenient" state.
The moment the "Daily Task system" prompted Jia Na that the task was completed, in addition to the skill experience and talent experience rewards, Jia Na naturally also saw the "Charm +0.1" reward prompt.
And it was precisely this Charm reward that caused the 【Charm: 9.9】 entry on Jia Na's character panel,
To directly break through to 10 points.
The moment her Charm broke through the 10-point limit and entered the extraordinary realm, a murmur, as if from the void, suddenly sounded beside Jia Na's ear.
As the sound became denser and more concentrated, a beautiful star emitting a dazzling diamond-like light suddenly appeared before Jia Na. Accompanying it were clusters of colorful flowers blooming around her, including roses, monthly roses,
And climbing roses— As if the Goddess of Beauty had descended, a vast sea of flowers, carrying intoxicating fragrance, surrounded Jia Na. "This is the power of the Law again—·
"Jia Na— Jia Na—"
Just as Jia Na was immersed in the boundless sea of flowers, unable to extricate herself, the calls from the outside world successfully pulled Jia Na out of this "unable to extricate herself" state.
"Thank you everyone, I'm really fine now."
Just as David-Berg was still engaged in a heavenly and human struggle in his heart, Jia Na, who had been keeping her head down, stood up from the sofa again.
Accompanying this was her calm face hidden beneath her hair—
