At that time, Solomon leaned back on the chair in the theater and carefully watched the story happening on the stage.
A young groom who was caring for the horses of a certain nobleman was discovered to have been blessed by the God of War. He was able to win no matter how powerful the enemy he faced.
The noble boy was not good at martial arts. After facing the instigation from his peers, he had no choice but to let his groom put on a knight's armor and fight in the knight's duel on his behalf.
As a result, he became famous in one battle. The noble children were considered to have strong martial arts skills and gained a lot of favor and attention.
The young man who didn't know how to restrain himself, in order to gain his own reputation, forced the groom to fight in his own identity again and again, until...
Until the children received an invitation from the king to fight to become the princess's husband.
The young groom no longer wanted to replace others, but he was still unable to resist due to his status as a young man.
In the final battle of the knights' duel, the groom fell in love with the princess at first sight.
After winning the duel, the groom decided to go to the princess's balcony to tell the truth.
Unfortunately, a nobleman discovered his whereabouts, and was cursed to prevent him from telling the truth.
The princess heard the noise and went to the balcony, only to see a strange young man hesitating in pain downstairs. He was caught by the patrolling guards and put in the dungeon.
The despicable noble son is going to marry the princess in the king's castle. On the day of the wedding banquet, the son specially comes to the dungeon and humiliates the lowly groom...
"A low-class person who smells like horse manure also wants to win the princess's heart?"
The young man's words made the groom furious.
That night, the groom managed to escape from the dungeon, found the knight's armor, mounted his horse, and rushed towards the brightly lit castle...
After hearing this, Sean shrugged: "A very classic story...
“It seems to refer to a lot of legends.
"I would say, if the script and actors can perform well, it should be very fascinating."
"Yes." Solomon nodded, "As I said before, it is indeed a good drama.
"The development of the story in the first half is still expected."
"It's just that the final climax..."
As he continued to talk, Solomon's mind returned to the illusory memories.
The furious groom, wearing armor and riding a horse, rushed into the castle.
According to common sense, he should break through the siege, tell the truth to the princess and the king, expose the ugly face of the noble son, and become the true prince-in-law and heir to the kingdom...
However, what happened on the stage became increasingly strange.
In order to enter the castle, the young groom defeated the blocking guards, and his shiny armor was stained with blood.
The Avengers rushed into the grand reception. The two dancers representing the mounts were like crazy, attacking and trampling the guests who were screaming and fleeing.
The blood gradually dyed the horses and armor a bright red color.
"He doesn't seem to be trying to break through...
"It's just killing...
"When I found out, there was a river of blood on the stage."
The plasma used has filled the stage and reached the actors' knees.
"I swear," Solomon shook his head slightly, as if he couldn't believe what he said, "I even smelled a smell of blood...
"God knows what that plasma is made of."
The crazy groom fought his way to the wedding venue.
Fortunately, the marriage ceremony between the son and the princess has not yet taken place.
However, his killing did not stop when he reached his destination and saw the princess.
The knight in red armor rode his horse and continued the slaughter. The despicable nobleman and his two followers who followed the wind died under his gun.
In order to stop the sudden arrival of uninvited guests, the palace guard who stepped forward died under his gun.
Fearing that the princess would be harmed, the personal maid who rushed out of the crowd was also hit and killed by a horse...
…
"I suddenly felt that there seemed to be no wronged soul under that red armor...
"But a completely crazy will for revenge."
"That armor doesn't seem to care if the truth comes out to the world."
The king was overly shocked and had a heart attack. He clutched his chest and sat paralyzed in his throne, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
It was only after no one stepped forward to stop him that the avenger finally jumped off his horse, waded through the bloody water, and walked to the stunned and pale princess.
And the princess, because of the sudden killing just now, has fallen into a state of madness.
She kept shaking her head, her eyes wandering.
Extremely scared, but unable to act.
The groom didn't seem to care that his wedding partner had gone crazy. He directly lifted the princess up without taking off his helmet, intending to continue the interrupted wedding.
“The blood-red moon rises behind the stage…
"I seem to have seen some kind of strange existence, becoming the witness of this unspeakable blood-red wedding."
The narration was over, and both Sean and Moonlight fell into a long silence.
After a long time, Sean said: "It is indeed... a bit of a strange ending."
In Sean's mind, the first half of the story is obviously the kind of comedy written by Shakespeare with a happy ending.
He could even imagine that the young groom rushed to the scene at the last moment of the wedding and heroically proved himself. Amidst the sound of blessings, he washed away his grievances and embraced the beauty...
Rather than a completely twisted "wedding" that kills innocents, causes bloodshed, and even drives the bride crazy...
What does the playwright want to express?
All-consuming rage?
An indictment of oppression that transcends reason?
The nothingness of life and its content?
"To be honest..." Moonlight said, "I really want to watch such a special play."
“Right.” Solomon sighed, “Actually, after I walked out of the theater, I was almost completely sober.
“I couldn’t believe that I saw such a bold play…
“That shocking feeling kept me awake all night.
"So, in order to know more about the play and its author, I started looking for relevant information during the next day..."
After a pause, Solomon continued: "I walked back and forth on White Street three times, but I couldn't find the theater again...
"I also bought the latest version of the Drama Guide, and I didn't see any information about "Blood Red Wedding" at all."
Although she knew in advance that this might be the case, Yueguang still raised her eyebrows in surprise.
“Of course I’m not going to put this behind me so easily.
"To this end, I interviewed several musical theater veterans in New York City..."
The detective sighed: “They’ve never heard of this drama.
"That is to say, if we follow the logical deduction, the really possible situation is,
"That night, after I came out of the 'Hometown Lamington' pub, I went straight back to the hotel, probably because I was very drunk.
"On the bed in the hotel, I wanted to go to the White Street, so I had a dream to make up for the regrets in my heart."
His chubby fingers rotated along with the narration. After all, he was a explorer. When Solomon told this, he did not have much fear: "If you look at it according to the 'dream theory', then the weirdness of that drama is Everything was explained——
"That was a dream constructed by my subconscious mind, so it makes sense for it to have such a weird and counterintuitive ending.
"Since I couldn't find any proof of the existence of that show, in the end, I could only accept the conjecture that it was a dream."
"But..." The detective looked out the window and blinked.
"That feeling is so real, how could it be a dream?" When he said this, his voice was soft, as if he was talking to himself.
“As a detective who has been working as a detective for twenty years, how can I not be able to distinguish between reality and fantasy?
"Perhaps the reason 'dreaming' can appease any other soul who has not experienced the mysteries.
"However, it didn't really answer my doubts...
"I really want to find out the truth-"
Solomon turned his head and looked directly into Sean's eyes: "Even if it was really a dream, I need complete evidence to prove it.
"This mystery that has troubled me for five years, this time, I have to know the answer."
