Chapter 437: The Masked Singer
"Selina?"
Lindsey turned to look at Wah Wah Wah.
He had always thought this name was unusual, not something a regular person would come up with.
As he observed the reaction of the people from Fimbull Theatre, it seemed to confirm this—the girl indeed had another name.
Wah Wah Wah ignored the lady's interrogation and looked straight at Lindsey.
"That was my stage name back then."
"As an actress, I needed a code name or something. That's what I went by."
Ignoring Wah Wah Wah, the lady was so furious that her whole body trembled.
If this wasn't Fimbull Theatre, she would have shouted out her questions, but at this moment, she could only suppress her voice and trembled as she asked again:
"Selina."
"Answer me immediately! What is your purpose for being here?!"
Wah Wah Wah affectionately put her arm around Lindsey's arm and walked up to the lady.
"What am I here for?"
"Of course, I brought my student to learn from your advanced music performance techniques."
"The prestigious Fimbull Theatre wouldn't deny entry to even a regular visitor, would they?"
"..."
Lindsey blinked and nodded in agreement.
Upon careful thought, this explanation seemed quite reasonable! The rows of musical instrument playing abilities on his attribute panel were all learned from Wah Wah Wah.
In contrast, the lady's facial expression turned cold.
She replied with a chilly tone) "Fimbull Theatre would never refuse entry to its audience."
"But if the person has malicious intentions, we also have the right to deny them entry!"
Wah Wah Wah laughed mockingly.
"Look at what you're saying."
"As if you're afraid that your popular actress will have her soul taken by someone else?"
"Selina!" The lady almost couldn't contain her anger. Seeing Savat beside her, she had an idea. "You, a remnant of Black Tide Island, dare to associate with the Azure Robe?"
She addressed Savat seriously.
"Sir, do you know who your friend really is?"
"..."
Savat's reaction was unexpected.
His previous assertive attitude vanished, and he stared at Wah Wah Wah. It was as if he was using memories to confirm something.
"Are you... the Masked Singer?"
Wah Wah Wah replied with a dismissive attitude.
"Unfortunately, no."
"When a performer declares their retirement from the stage, it means they are truly leaving."
"..."
Incredulous.
Savat, who was once difficult to deal with, now seemed to have lost his composure.
He was like a fan who had just seen their idol, unable to even look directly at Wah Wah Wah. He forced himself to turn to the lady beside him.
"Lady Salara, please step aside. We are on official business."
"Official business?" The lady noticed this term and looked at Wah Wah Wah, who didn't wear the Azure Robe, with a mocking smile. "A remnant of Black Tide Island, you must have done something shameful to be caught by them."
"Sir, I suggest you immediately expose this fraud..."
Savat interrupted the lady.
"Ma'am, please don't slander people's reputation."
"We are currently investigating a case involving the White Star Clan, and these two are my assistants!"
Hearing this, the lady took a step back.
"The White Star Clan?"
She was a mid-level manager at Fimbull Theatre, responsible for managing the theatre hall, but her status didn't reach the decision-making level.
Facing such a situation, she wisely stepped aside and allowed them to enter.
"In that case, I wish you all a smooth journey."
"Heini, come and keep these 'gentlemen' company!"
The noblewoman emphasized her tone, calling over a theater girl to keep an eye on Lindsey's group.
She herself hurried inside the theater.
After all, reputation was of utmost importance to the theater.
This investigation, being on their home turf, must be reported immediately, whether it was to disrupt the performance or for other reasons.
...
And so, under the 'company' of the staff, Savat began his inspection within the theater.
Although he realized that Wah Wah Wah was once a renowned masked singer.
His duty, however, overrode his astonishment, and he started meticulously examining each location within the theater.
Every time he reached a spot depicted in the sketchbook, he found nothing.
Savat would also sincerely ask Lindsey for guidance:
"Mr. Lindsey, can you find any traces here?"
Lindsey approached for an inspection, but the answer was often disappointing:
"There are no traces here."
And so, they continued searching in a few more places.
While walking, Lindsey whispered to Wah Wah Wah:
"He's very clear about his targets, and it seems he's memorized all the scenes from the sketchbook."
Wah Wah Wah nodded:
"After all, he's a professional painter."
"With their memory for scenes, since they've flipped through that sketchbook, they can naturally recognize every corresponding corner."
Lindsey steered the conversation to what he was truly interested in:
"Wah Wah Wah, what's the real story here?"
"Can you tell me about Selina and the masked singer?"
Wah Wah Wah, with her arm around Lindsey's arm, spoke with a hint of boastfulness:
"You know, I've mastered quite a few artistic skills."
"When I tried to use these things to find my true self, I became somewhat famous too."
"..."
Lindsey's mind quickly processed the information.
That actress named Remstar was an important member of the Fimbull Theatre, a rising star with immense popularity.
With the theater's reputation, she was probably quite a famous figure in the entire Thousand Sails City.
And Wah Wah Wah—
As long as she wasn't lying.
Then in the past, her acting abilities surpassed that of Miss Remstar!
At this moment, Wah Wah Wah added:
"Lindsey, remember I told you I have my own studio in Thousand Sails City?"
Lindsey nodded:
