Lord of Enigma

Chapter 63: Silent Movie

After getting Tang Qi's "unconventional assurance", a plan that sounded unreliable was passed.

The key point of the plan: a handsome guy whose face must be similar to Robert Gable. This task was taken over by Gideon. He just made a phone call and said it was done.

While waiting, they discussed the case with the two receiving police officers. For example, the seven bodies were all killed in one area, in a narrow area at the junction between the Newton and Lopez districts.

Living here were some young people who were not economically rich, such as workers, wandering painters, stall vendors, or writers. This was probably the reason why the case was not as important as those trifles at the city center.

About half an hour later, Gideon left the church. Moments later, he walked in with a young man wearing a black retro suit and with his hair combed back.

As soon as he entered the crowd's eyes, they all lit up.

"So similar!"

Sighed the forensic doctor, Renee.

She was obviously not a fan of old movies, but a fan of handsome men.

She looked at his face, her eyes sparkling

The young man who came in with Gideon was indeed very similar to the young Robert Gable. His angular face, distinct sharp edges, and elegant demeanor made him the perfect lover in many women's hearts.

"This is Chris. He's an actor of the Crystal Theater Company of Moses City. He volunteered to lend a hand."

Gideon introduced the young man's identity to everyone, and then, while everyone got to know each other, he walked to Tang Qi and added, "Chris is auditioning to be the male lead of a fantasy movie and wants to take this opportunity to enter the entertainment industry of Moses City. So he's very interested in the events of the mystical side recently. Let him join this time so that he won't do something reckless."

"Are you and him?"

Tang Qi asked and Steina beside him directly added.

"Gideon is the honorary head of the Crystal Theatre Company. According to him, if it weren't for him being a police detective, the person who won the Eagle Heart Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of actors a few days ago, should be him, not the shortie Hopkins."

"Hahaha ~"

When Stana finished speaking, everyone laughed, Gideon who had just been called off blinked and raised his eyebrows, indicating that Stana was right. Revealing his self-confidence.

After the greetings, the atmosphere gradually became serious again.

Because dusk was approaching, if they wanted to set a trap, it was best to start now.

The trap was simple and crude.

The wraith didn't seem to have much intelligence or her obsession was too deep, or that it was unable to leave a certain area, it always wandered around a few blocks to kill people.

So the plan was to let Chris stroll around in the area in a similar way to Robert Gable, and everyone, or mainly Stana trailing behind him. As soon as the resentful spirit appeared, they would immediately kill it.

The one in the most perilous situation was undoubtedly Chris, who was bait.

So, he was both excited and frightened at the same time.

He was excited because he could take this opportunity to come into contact with the supernatural side. The fear was of course that he could die if he didn't pay attention. When he arrived at the church, he was shocked by the dead bodies on the ground.

Before Chris set off, Tang Qi walked over.

While exclaiming "crazy actor", he handed a white handkerchief to Chris, and at the same time whispered a few words in his ear.

Finally, ignoring Chris's strange reaction, he walked away slowly.

All the preparations were ready, and everyone's figures gradually became hidden.

Only Chris ran out of the church directly, and after turning a few corners, his figure appeared on a street called Lane Street.

It was just before evening, and the coldness of the night had just begun to permeate. This street has become deserted because of the continuous murders in the past few days. At this time, Chris's figure became even more obvious.

After all, at night, a handsome man with a tall figure and a vintage suit walked alone, breathing out white cold air. This scene was exactly the same as those in the old romance movies.

As long as a woman still had a romantic mind in her heart, she probably couldn't resist the urge to step up and talk.

In fact, in the movie called "The Love of Dionysus", there was indeed such a scene, the husband who had just been resurrected, rushed out of the house, ran around in confusion, and then

"Eh, is it a person?"

Everyone watching from behind suddenly saw it.

At the other end of the street, a woman appeared and ran towards Chris, waving her hands as if she was driving him away.

This woman also seemed to be young with wavy black hair, and a bright red lipstick on her lips, which was very conspicuous under the night light.

"She seems to be one of the residents in this neighborhood. Is she prompting Chris to depart from here?"

"It's possible. Everyone here should know that a lot of people have died. Chris is so charismatic, and it's normal for a kindhearted person to remind him regardless of the risk."

"Especially, a woman."

When Renee and Nathan spoke a few words, Tang Qi frowned.

He stood up suddenly and shouted at the front, "Stana, do it."

It stands to reason that in this quiet environment, his shout should be audible across the street.

But strangely enough, apart from the fact that Renee and the others were taken aback, neither Chris himself nor Stana hiding in the front actually moved at all. It seemed that Tang Qi's voice fell on deaf ears.

Instead, at this moment, the running red-lipped woman suddenly looked at the crowd with her head tilted to one side.

"Hiss ~"

All of a sudden, everyone seemed to be frozen, and a terrible chill spread from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

At this time they all reacted together and realized that the wraith had appeared, it was this woman.

They finally found out that the woman was wearing a vintage skirt, a big wavy hairstyle, and a weirdly colored lipstick, all of which were the typical aesthetic taste of the era of upheaval. Even this woman's somewhat wide and fair face belonged to that era.

"Not good, Chris."

"Run!"

"Stana, do it!"

The people who reacted broke away from their fear and shouted together.

Unfortunately, their voices fell into deaf ears.

It was as if the area in front of them had been shrouded in silence, and all the sounds were isolated, just like the scene in a silent movie.

Yes, it was a silent movie.

The Love of Dionysus was the last brilliant silent movie.

In exchange for everyone's shouts, only a strange smile appeared on the woman's face.

She opened her arms wide open and was about to hug Chris.

Another victim was about to appear, and it was under the watch of a group of detectives.

And because of the distance, and the weird "silent force field", they couldn't do anything. Even if they both fired warning shots, or shot Chris directly, it was useless.

Just as everyone was about to fall into despair, a sudden change that no one had expected occurred.

They watched as the woman was about to hold Chris in her arms, but was suddenly pushed away by Chris. Not only that, an angry shout that contained some kind of power came out of Chris's mouth.

"Go away!"

The sounds finally emerged.

The woman who was supposed to possess strange powers that could kill Chris in an instant, actually listened to Chris's shout and was pushed away from his arms.

Then, a dreadful roar appeared suddenly.
