Chapter 318: Chapter 242: The Gradually Changing Audience

"Why?"

The audience grew noisy.

"Why was he the one who got picked?"

"Exactly. It’s obvious he doesn’t know how to do anything."

"I could do a job like that. It’s just that no one ever gave me the chance."

"That bedroom is way bigger than my entire home."

"It’s just a Shadow of Evil story. You can’t believe it."

"It has to be a kidnapping, using the caregiver job as a cover."

That one audience member was still fixated on the kidnapping theory.

And in the film, the Tiefling’s performance was indeed very unprofessional.

He accidentally spilled hot water on the Sir’s leg while pouring it, and upon discovering the Sir didn’t have much feeling there, he poured a little more just to test it.

While feeding him, he was so busy sneaking glances at the female secretary’s butt that he tried to feed a potato to the Sir’s eye.

When a phone rang, he immediately handed it to the Sir, completely forgetting that he had no hands to take it with.

Waves of laughter rolled through the movie theater.

Everyone was now watching it as if it were an absurdist comedy.

But this Tiefling was not without his merits.

He constantly told the Sir all sorts of dark jokes, poking fun at every part of his body that couldn’t move.

The Sir, who was uncomfortable at first, gradually began to get the punchlines, and they would roar with laughter together—oh, wait, the Sir couldn’t hold his sides, so they would just roar with laughter together.

He was a serious and quick student when it came to the professional skills related to being a caregiver.

Many intelligent people simply never get the opportunity for an education, and thus never have a chance to show their talent.

He had a snowball fight with the Sir, though the Sir was just on the receiving end.

He even took the Sir street racing.

Yes, in that same luxury car from the opening scene.

Before, whenever the Sir went out, he could only ride in a specially made, slow-moving vehicle for patients, but the Tiefling clearly didn’t care for such rules.

Here, the Tiefling finally showed a rare advantage of his race.

Another car was always parked blocking the Sir’s driveway. The butler had repeatedly tried to reason with the owner, who would always say he understood but would continue to block the entrance. Every time, he’d claim he forgot and promise to do better next time.

The Tiefling’s method was much simpler and more direct.

He dragged the man out of his car, pressed his face against the "No Parking" sign by the gate, and made him read it over and over.

And just like that, his "amnesia" was cured.

No car ever blocked the gate again.

Sometimes, threats really do work better than polite conversation.

The audience found themselves gradually drawn in by the comical yet harmonious daily life portrayed in the film.

Their perceptions were being subtly changed, little by little.

This Tiefling might not be a good professional caregiver, but he was definitely a fun friend.

The Sir didn’t lack for professional physicians; a sizable team was already responsible for maintaining his physical condition.

But what he really lacked was a good friend who could ignore his status and his disability, and just tell him jokes without a care in the world to make him happy.

A thought started to form in the minds of most audience members: maybe the next time they met a Tiefling, they should try to get to know them before passing judgment.

After all, what was the harm in getting to know them a little?

Besides, weren’t plenty of Tieflings originally human to begin with?

It wasn’t as if becoming a Tiefling instantly made a person evil.

Their previous attitude toward Tieflings had been, they had to admit, a bit unfair.

The film’s atmosphere reached a high point during the Sir’s birthday party.

High-end symphony music, an elegant ball.

The Sir obviously couldn’t dance, so the Tiefling stayed by his side, making fun of every famous piece of music he heard.

"Ha, I’ve heard this one! It’s from Tom and Jerry!"

The comment sent the audience into a fit of laughter.

They deeply sympathized.

They had only heard that those famous classical pieces were brilliant, but had never actually listened to them in full. Even if they had, they couldn’t tell what was so brilliant about them.

But Tom and Jerry?

Every single person in the theater had actually seen it.

When the elegant ball ended, the Tiefling, finding it rather boring, started playing more popular music.

The hottest songs from Feilin’s Best Songs.

The popular contestants from the show also made brief cameos in this scene.

The show was so popular that a sing-along even broke out in the theater.

For a moment, the audience believed the film would end in this light and cheerful atmosphere.

But then, things took a sharp downturn.

The Tiefling’s younger brother got into trouble.

He was caught by the Guard Corps and locked up for a while. After getting out, he showed no intention of changing his ways and went right back to hanging out with his no-good gang friends.

Here, the film directly and cruelly displayed the dark side of a Tiefling’s life.

After several months of life as a caregiver, the protagonist felt he should take on the responsibility of disciplining his brother.

But his energy was limited.

If he wanted to save his brother from that life, he would no longer have time to care for the Sir.

Every person in the audience realized that it was time for them to part ways.
