Thirty minutes before the end of the movie, in the projection room at the back of the hall.
For the premiere of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold", Mrs. Sizer had completely remodeled the entire hall, including the construction of a projection room at the back of the hall.
In this small screening room, the Primordial Crystal that stored the movie "This Demon Isn't Too Cold" was placed in the center.
Mrs. Sizer had sent two of her most trusted servants to guard it, and there was a group of knights holding swords outside, vigilant against any strangers who came to visit.
This kind of high-standard treatment was comparable to a treasure vault that stored countless gold coins and gems.
And the sample of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" definitely had this value.
Among the two trusted servants guarding the projection room, a certain leader of the Black Pigeons, the Dark Elf lady known as Qianmian, was honored to be among them.
"Why didn't that demon accept Miss Carolee's confession … Sigh, what a pity!"
The other servant in the projection room was a Spellcaster who looked to be in his fifties. Judging from the magical aura that he had, he should have a seventh-grade Spellcaster rating.
However, the Dark Elf didn't care whether the other party was powerful or not. While the Spellcaster was immersed in the scene where Matilda told Leon that "I might have fallen in love with you", she quietly reached for the raw crystal in the center of the projection room.
"Stop! Ron, don't touch this raw crystal. If you break it, you probably won't be able to pay for it in your entire life. "
The old Spellcaster instantly noticed the rash action of the young man beside him and shouted loudly.
However, in the face of his obstruction, the Dark Elf drew a magic inscription with her fingertip.
The inscription was not aggressive at all. The moment the old Spellcaster saw the inscription, a strong sense of sleepiness swept over him … Before he could use his magical power to dispel the sleepiness, he smelled a strange incense.
This fragrance had actually filled the entire projection room before the movie started, but before he saw the inscription released by the Dark Elf, he didn't notice it at all.
When the spellcaster fell to the ground unconscious, the Dark Elf revealed her true appearance. The first thing she did was to wipe away her tears with her hands.
This time, she sneaked into the Falosi Mansion for nothing else but to steal the movie sample of "This Demon Isn't Too Cold" and bring it back to the Demon Realm.
The Dark Elves could have started working ten minutes ago, but after careful consideration, they decided to sit down and watch the movie first.
However, throughout the entire movie, she realized that her crying threshold was too low.
Because she had already substituted herself in the role of Leon, far from the ending, her heart, which had been cold for many years, was touched several times, and she burst into tears several times in a row.
After she changed her appearance into someone else's, she couldn't cry or sweat. This wasn't a good thing. It would make her feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, she had no choice but to make a move before the movie ended.
The Dark Elf wiped his tears, adjusted his emotions, and began to get down to business.
She reached for the crystal in the center of the projection room, but she felt resistance the moment she touched it.
There was a magic barrier!
To think that Mrs. Caesar would actually set up such a troublesome barrier for the sake of an Origin Crystal.
But a magic barrier of this level could be broken by the Dark Elf with a little concentration.
Picking locks and breaking enchantments left by spellcasters were her old profession.
But once she focused on the magic barrier, she couldn't continue watching the movie.
Should she … do it after watching it? But she wasn't sure how long her sleeping spell could affect a seventh-grade spellcaster.
Just as she was in a dilemma, the door to the screening room was opened by someone.
In an instant, she dodged and landed on the other side of the door like a cat.
She stared at the figure that was about to enter the screening room, a dagger covered in poison was held in her hand.
The poison wasn't fatal, but it could make people fall into a deep sleep. Normally, when carrying out such a mission, the Dark Elves wouldn't hesitate to kill them.
But "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" had brought her back to the girl's heart she'd abandoned decades ago, so she chose a more friendly attack this time.
The moment the person who opened the door stepped into the projection room, the dagger in her hand would be pressed against the person's neck.
While she was on guard, the movie continued. Her eyes were attracted by the new developments on the screen several times.
But soon, she focused on the figure who was about to enter the room.
"Why do you have to go through so much trouble to hide here?"
A familiar voice rang in her ear. The Dark Elf froze the moment she saw the figure. She reluctantly put away the weapon in her hand.
"If you want to attend the premiere, I can arrange a seat for you in the audience. There's no need to hide here, Miss Dark Elf."
Josiah pushed open the projection room door and looked at the Dark Elf who was stuck to the wall.
The Dark Elf didn't answer Josiah. She just took a few steps back and looked at Josiah. There was no one beside him, but there were a few Day Banshees floating beside Josiah.
If the Day Banshees weren't strong enough, the mark on Josiah's palm would be enough to convince the Dark Elf to give up resisting.
"I didn't come here to watch the movie."
The Dark Elf's purpose wasn't to watch the movie, but to steal the crystal that stored "This Demon Is Not Too Cold".
So she wasn't lying. But her eyes kept looking at the screen outside the projection room, so her words weren't convincing at all.
Josiah could see the Dark Elf lady's dilemma. Finally, he let out a small sigh and gestured for her to enter.
Although the Dark Elf lady didn't buy a ticket to enter the theater, Josiah still treated her as a member of the audience for the time being.
"How about … we talk after watching the movie?" Josiah said.
The Dark Elf frowned slightly, as if she was having some kind of struggle. However, when the plot of the movie progressed to the part where the law enforcers were pressing on and Leon and Matilda were in a desperate situation, she finally chose to nod her head slightly.
Although she agreed to Josiah's suggestion, her expression was still tense. Josiah just quietly waited at the side for the movie to end.
But at the end … when Leon died, the Dark Elf lady seemed to be holding back something. Her eyes twitched slightly.
The movie continued. Leon's death didn't cause any emotional fluctuations in the cold Dark Elf killer.
Until the end, when Matilda buried the potted plant in the ground and said, "We are safe now, Leon." The Dark Elf seemed to be holding back something, and her throat choked.
Finally, when the melody of "Shape Of My Heart" sounded, the situation completely went out of control. The Dark Elf lady, who had maintained a cold attitude since Josiah came in, suddenly burst into tears from the corner of her eyes.
But in order to show off, she kept wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands. Perhaps it was because she had not shed tears for decades, but this time, her tears completely broke out the sadness that she had accumulated in her heart for many years.
The Dark Elf lady's crying appearance made Josiah fall into a momentary daze.
Ever since he came into contact with the leader of the Black Pigeons, she had always given Josiah the impression that she was cold with a hint of cunning … as if she would never reveal her true self to anyone.
Maybe this was why she was called Qianmian.
But the amount of tears she shed was much lower than what Josiah had imagined. Or perhaps the story of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" resonated with her?
In short, the image of this Dark Elf seemed to have completely collapsed like the Frost Elf.
"Use this to wipe your tears."
Josiah didn't bring anything like a handkerchief with him, so he could only find a tablecloth and pass it to her.
This made Josiah feel that it was a bit of a pity. If he had a handkerchief, he would probably be able to increase her favorability points. After all, any girl would be at her weakest when she was crying.
The Dark Elf didn't mind. She took the tablecloth from Josiah and wiped away all the tears that had fallen down her cheeks.
She didn't want to cry like this and expose her weak side to a stranger like Josiah.
But the power of the tear gas Josiah threw, "This Demon Is Not Too Cold", was really too strong.
No matter how hard the Dark Elf tried, in the end, she couldn't resist the influence of the song "Shape Of My Heart". The last scene could be said to be the release of all the accumulated tears in the entire movie.
The first time Josiah saw this killer is not too cold, he was also like this. He didn't have any emotional fluctuations throughout the whole movie, but in the end, he burst into tears.
Although influenced by the movie, the Dark Elf exposed her weakest side in front of Josiah. But as a professional intelligence officer or killer, she still showed the necessary emotional adjustment ability.
The tablecloth was like a magician's covering cloth. The Dark Elf was still crying non-stop a second ago, and the next second, she returned to her previous cold expression.
But the red corners of her eyes still proved that she was in a state of extreme sadness a few seconds ago.
"Is that the only possible fate for Leon?"
Before Josiah could speak, she suddenly asked.
"Let me think, the real plot is that Leon didn't die in the end, built a hotel in Squirrel Street, and adopted two gray cat and half-dragon children … Are you satisfied with this ending?"
What Josiah was talking about was the experience of Leon's actor, the deceiver Pluck.
When she heard Josiah's explanation, the Dark Elf suddenly smiled.
This was also the first time Josiah saw the Dark Elf smile. In the past, she showed a smile for negotiation, but this time, the smile didn't last long.
She walked to the window next to the theater, through which she could see the view below the auditorium.
A little girl who looked to be only 13 or 14 years old, because she found that the movie's villain, Stamfield, was sitting next to her, she resolutely chose to avenge Leon, and began to chant a dangerous lightning magic.
It was the spellcaster who sat next to her who seemed to be her mentor who stopped her. Only then did the actor who played Stanfell, Lord White Thorn Flower, avoid the tragic situation of having to go on stage with an afro hairstyle in the later centuries to express his thoughts.
"If it were me, I would do the same, just to vent," said the Dark Elf.
"Then … my goal has been achieved, and I've won the bet between you and me."
Josiah leaned on the other side of the window, looking down at the auditorium. When the backstage cast list appeared on the movie screen, the premiere was not yet over.
Mrs. Sizer walked onto the stage, followed by all the actors who participated in "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" one after another.
When the last two actors, Carolee, who played Matilda, and Pluck, who played Leon, stood on the stage together, almost all the audience applauded. This applause was even more enthusiastic than when the movie ended.
The applause lasted for a long time.
Josiah looked at the Dark Elf, whose expression seemed to be thinking about something.
At this moment, the Dark Elf clearly understood that the applause was for the demon standing on the stage!
These humans stood up and gave a round of applause to the demon, and many of them were even touched by the demon's survival.
If this was in the past, and someone described this scene to the Dark Elf, she would definitely think that the other party was telling a joke, and the kind that was not very funny.
But the truth was already in front of her, a demon was standing on the human stage, and was the focus of the whole stage.
In the end, even the Dark Elf herself applauded.
Although she knew that the story in this movie was fictional, the scene of Matilda and Leon standing together was too touching for any audience who had just finished watching "This Demon Is Not Too Cold".
After giving her applause, the Dark Elf turned her gaze to Josiah.
The person who made all of this a reality, was Josiah … Josiah did what she once refused to believe.
That was to let the demon be accepted by humans.
"Although they are only applauding for the fictional demon killer in the movie, at least the fictional movie did affect reality, didn't it?" said Josiah.
This was the 'destructive power' brought about by culture, in a more mysterious way, it was' magic that could reshape the three views of humans'.
"You win, Lord Josiah."
The Dark Elf very frankly admitted that the bet she made with Josiah previously ended in her loss.
"Then …" Josiah was ready to recruit this' hero '.
But the Dark Elf's fingertip drew an inscription symbol. The moment Josiah saw the inscription symbol, he instantly felt sleepy.
Josiah's vision began to blur … Could it be the Yaxi Seal?
As his eyelids became heavier and heavier, Josiah held on to the window next to him to barely stand.
So, the Dark Elves in this world also had such a cunning element? He just didn't know if they believed in the Spider Queen Lolth like the Drows.
"I'm sorry, Lord Josiah … I can't serve you right now."
She watched as Josiah's body swayed and fell, then turned around and walked towards the raw crystal.
But in the next second, her hand was grabbed, which made her turn around in surprise.
"How is this possible …"
She didn't expect Josiah to be so resistant to sleeping magic.
