Chapter 63 Hunting
To be honest, Figxin didn't have high expectations for the so-called Demon Shadow. She had heard rumors about it in the North.

Of course, I just heard that the kingdom would regularly send people to comfort the border troops, and they would usually be accompanied by dance troupes, drama troupes, acrobatic troupes and the like, but the most common ones were always bards, mainly because they were cheap.

A wandering poet from the south described "The Journey to the Holy Mountain" in fantastic terms.

However, the story did not resonate with many soldiers. Apart from the unanimous opinion that the manager of the pharmacy died too late, everyone still preferred the story about the female knight's depravity.

In her opinion, Shadow Magic was nothing more than putting those plays that were played to entertain small circles into the magic crystal.

But why did Carina look so agitated?
In the box of the Wrangler Theater, as soon as she entered, Karina began to sob, her handkerchief could be wrung out of water, and she could hardly breathe.

"Does she have asthma?" Figessin asked worriedly.

"It's okay," Yufei said calmly, "She is the president of Mr. Raul's Continental Support Association. She becomes like this whenever she has the chance to see Mr. Raul in person."

"Who is Mr. Raul?" asked Figesin.

Isn’t the name of the Continental Support Association a bit too exaggerated? It sounds like some international organization.

Figgin watched as Carina pulled out a banner from her backpack that read, "Excellent actor, superb acting skills, perfect handsome Raul Mikkelsen."

A banner was hung on the railing of the box, and the words on it were even fluorescent.

"The actor, the lead actor in 'The Journey to the Holy Mountain' and 'The Hunt', should be the best actor in Magic Shadow so far. Although there are not many actors in Magic Shadow, I also think he really acted well." Youfei explained.

That was understandable. Figgin thought about it and realized that she had seen many noble ladies who were obsessed with a certain actor and would wrap their jewelry in a handkerchief and throw it onto the stage when the actor appeared.

However, this kind of thing was later collectively restricted by the industry.

It’s not that the troupe doesn’t want jewelry, it’s just that there was an incident where jewelry wrapped in gold bars was thrown onto the stage.

Coincidentally, the noble lady who threw the gold bar was the daughter of a general and was very strong. Well, guess what, her aim was pretty good.

Right in front of the door!

The poor actor lost consciousness on the spot, but fortunately, he did not die.

Paralyzed.

Good luck to this Raul.

"Ah——" Carina burst into a heart-wrenching scream, "Mr. Raul, thank you for your hard work during this period."

Figgin would rather face the screams of the banshee in the night, because at least that thing can be chopped.

The main creative team took turns on stage to be interviewed about their creative experiences.

It's quite novel. Audiences are sometimes interested in the behind-the-scenes stories of creation, but there has always been a lack of channels to learn about them.

Youngness is Figosin’s first impression of this magic shadow creation team.

They should all be around 30 years old, and even the director looks only around 20 years old.

What was even more surprising was that the person who came on stage to represent the photography team was a goblin.

The Twin Towers City is truly amazing.

When the lead actor Raul came on stage, the audience erupted in loud screams and boos.

One could still vaguely hear shouts and curses directed at relatives.

Why is this happening? Isn't Raul the best actor right now? Figosin is puzzled.

Yufei explained at the right time: "Mr. Raul once had a scandal of molesting a little girl. Although it has been cleared up, there are still many people who don't believe it. Now he is occasionally thrown garbage on the street."

It was a false accusation, Figxin sneered. She was very familiar with it. She had no idea how many dirty waters had been thrown at her. They were really a group of "loving" brothers and sisters.

And she knew even more clearly that after being slandered like this, it would almost always be meaningless to clarify.

Even if he is finally vindicated, his life has already been completely destroyed. What good is justice delayed?
He actually dared to stand on the stage and accept everyone's scrutiny. He was very courageous.

Figesin has come to admire the actor a little.

But what can he do?

Should we accept the reality or fight back? However, confronting the audience is not a rational choice.

"You are a demon who attacks children!" the person holding the loudspeaker shouted directly during the audience question session.

"Is that a question?" Raul said in a relaxed tone, directly teasing. "I am an actor, you are my bread and butter, I accept all your comments, you can think I am a monster, but thank you for coming to see the movie."

Instead of responding directly to the child's questions, he put himself in a low position.

Why? To ask for mercy from his attackers?

Figesin didn't understand why he responded like that.

Begging for mercy and pretending to be weak are useless to these people. They are bullies and afraid of the strong. Showing weakness will only make their behavior more extreme.

Just as Figosin thought, the people who were making trouble became more excited when they heard Raul's answer. The curses were so loud that they were mixed with garbage thrown at the stage.

Supporters and opponents in the audience were about to clash.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the organizers hurried out to smooth things over and started the magic movie screening session.

All the lights were turned off, and the image was projected onto a curtain wall several stories high. The logo of the Drogo Group appeared, and the scene finally quieted down a little.

This premiere was not easy to organize. It was obvious that many people at the scene were there just to find trouble, and it might even be organized.

Surprisingly, unlike the violent-sounding name "Hunting", the opening of Shadow of Demon can be described as bland, even boring.

What is shown in the picture is just ordinary suburban life, with a group of people hunting, swimming and partying.

There was no rare visual spectacle in the world as boasted by the bards at the time, everything seemed to be happening right next to us.

In the film, Raul appears using his real name, and the character he plays is called Raul.

The first few dozen minutes are spent telling about his family life.

His marriage is unhappy, and his lies will be immediately discovered by his good friends. His son is a bit rebellious and works as a volunteer at a church welfare home.

The only thing worth mentioning is that they have a good relationship with the children. It is very common for them to send a friend's lost little daughter back home. Many parents here who do not have time to look after their children will send their children to welfare homes for care and pick them up every night.

You could even hear yawns in the audience.

Raul's character seems to overlap with Raul himself, showing his boring life.

But Figesin could feel the constant sense of oppression in the picture, and his intuition told him that there was a bomb in the plot that could explode at any time.

The scene moves to the kindergarten, where the little daughter secretly gives Raul a heart-shaped gift and kisses him secretly when he is resting.

"Oh--"

There were exclamations from the audience.

Raul quickly taught the little girl that this was wrong and returned the gift.

Figesin knew that when this bomb came, such education would hurt the children's fragile self-esteem, and for the sake of their self-esteem, every child was a potential danger.

However, the plot development once again exceeded Figesin's expectations.

In the evening, the little girl's parents did not come to pick her up, so the director stayed to take care of her.

At this moment, the little girl suddenly talked to herself.

"I don't like Raul, he's stupid, ugly, and has a little stick..."

The little girl in the picture is almost shrouded in darkness.

"Oh, all the boys do," the Dean explained with a smile.

"Yes, but his is different. His is so hard."

"What happened?" The dean immediately became serious.

"He gave me this heart," the little girl said, holding out the returned gift, "I don't want it."

The tone was calm and peaceful.

The audience was silent.

Figesin understood that Raul was tearing open his own tragic experience and showing it to people in a straightforward manner.
