Chapter 582 The Theater Opens
"It's indeed the theater opposite." Diamond 10 nodded slightly,
"In order to ensure the safety of our base, we have done background checks on all the surrounding shops. The theater used to be a prosperous business, but then the boss got seriously ill and the theater gradually declined. Now there is only a seriously ill old lady and a The children live there and it has been closed for a long time.”
"The theater has reopened. It seems that the old lady has recovered from her illness?"
"It does not matter."
9 of Hearts took the invitation from Jian Changsheng, glanced at it casually, and threw it aside, "There is no one here to listen to the show, and besides, now is not the time for leisurely entertainment."
"That's right. We have been delayed by the floating paintings for too long. Several months have passed and we still haven't found the location of the Hongchen base." Diamond 10 gradually frowned.
"Although time is tight, you still have to be careful." Meihua J, who had been standing in the corner, said calmly, "We have just got rid of the suspicion, so it is not appropriate to start action immediately. It is best to contact the outside as naturally as possible to understand the situation. After all, we have already We have been closed here for so long that we don’t know what is going on outside.”
"Yes, the Queen of Hearts is still in a coma. We still need to go out and find a reliable doctor."
Jian Changsheng pondered for a moment, then picked up the invitation that had been thrown aside by the 9 of Hearts, and tentatively spoke:
"How about the theater to get in touch with the outside world?"
Everyone looked at the invitation again, thoughtfully.
"The theater has a large flow of people, and it's a good mix of people. It's really good for gathering information."
"The most important thing is that the theater took the initiative to send us an invitation letter. We just went there according to the invitation. Even if there are plainclothes among the casino staff, it will not arouse suspicion."
After careful consideration by everyone, the gold content of this invitation letter has gradually increased. From the current point of view, this is indeed the best stepping stone for them to move forward.
"That's it, Diamond 10 will continue to stay at the stronghold, and the three of us will go to Jinghong Tower to have a look before we take the next step." Plum Blossom J quickly finalized the strategy.
"good!"
evening.
After several months, the three figures finally stepped out of the casino gate.
Jian Changsheng was wearing a black leather jacket and stood on the side of the road, looking at the pedestrians and vehicles passing by on the street. A long-lost breath of life hit his face. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as if he was relieved.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to imitate the talented ancients and lament the hardships of being in prison these past few months, and the joy of regaining freedom, but after holding it in for more than ten seconds, he still said:
"Fuck, I'm finally back!"
"" Plum Blossom J couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Jian Changsheng was also a little embarrassed. After coughing twice, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, did you notice anything strange when you came out just now?"
"No." 9 of Hearts stretched out, "No one paid any attention to us, and no other types of prying eyes were noticed. It seems that there are no plainclothes police officers among the employees inside the casino."
"That's good."
Jian Changsheng glanced at the invitation in his hand and walked straight to the other side of the road. The three of them had just walked a few dozen meters when they saw a group of roaring figures crowded on the roadside, all hunched over in one direction. Looking around, the queue even extended to the entrance of the casino.
"Hey." Jian Changsheng couldn't help but say, "What are they doing? The queue is longer than my lifeline."
"Isn't there a theater in front of you? You should be queuing up to hear the show."
"so many people???"
"You've been in the world of mortals for so long, do you still think it's strange?" 9 of Hearts shrugged, "People here are chasing stars like crazy. I guess the theater opened today and some famous actors were hired."
"But we have the invitation letter in hand. It seems we don't have to queue. Let's go and take a look first."
The three of them continued to move forward. Along the way, there were queues of passionate Red Dust residents, 70% of whom were women. They chatted together as if they were describing something, their eyes full of excitement. To the surprise of the three of them, there were many old men and women sitting in the team with small stools, wearing slippers, waving cattail fans, grinning with big teeth, and it was so lively.
This team has everyone from ten to ninety years old, men, women and children.
"Let me go, what kind of role is this?" Jian Changsheng rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief, "Isn't this audience too broad?! Are old men and women also chasing stars??"
"You'll know if you go in and take a look."
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the entrance of the theater.
Compared with the endless queues outside, the entrance of this theater looks particularly shabby. It is hard to believe that such a place can attract so many people. The only thing with some style in the entire door is the piece that says " Jinghong Tower" plaque.
At this moment, at the entrance of the theater, a young man in formal clothes was sweating profusely and maintaining order.
"Don't squeeze in the back! Come one by one!"
"I'm sorry, our seats are full today. Can I get a new number for you and come back tomorrow?"
"Grandma, please close the bench. People behind you can't leave."
"Oh, you two are from the rouge shop next door, right? Please come in, your seat is in the third row."
""
When the young man saw the three people walking together, he asked:
"You three are"
"Oh, we are from the casino, this is our invitation letter."
As Jian Changsheng handed over the invitation letter, Kong Baosheng glanced at it and made a respectful gesture of invitation, "Okay, three of you, your place is in the first row."
"first row?"
Jian Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and then he entered the theater under the leadership of Kong Baosheng. After passing through the old hall covered with red carpet, he came to the stage.
The decoration of this theater building is very unique. The top of the stage is actually hollow. The gentle breeze blows into the first floor from the gaps on both sides of the roof, which makes people very comfortable. In front of the stage, there are more than ten rows of seats. It can seat about eighty or ninety people, and the distance between each other is just right, so it doesn't waste space and doesn't make people feel crowded.
The seats of Jian Changsheng and the three of them were not only in the first row, but also in the middle. After the three of them took their seats, the eyes of the audience who had waited in line all day to get the seats in the back row were full of envy.
Feeling the fiery gaze coming from the back of his head, Jian Changsheng's expression was a little strange.
"Why aren't we here to listen to the show for free? Why is the location so far forward?"
The 9 of Hearts crossed his legs and said casually, "Whatever, we're not really here to listen to the show anyway. We can sit anywhere."
"That's true."
Although Jian Changsheng felt that something was not right, he still tried his best to ignore the fiery gaze behind him. After all, they came here to inquire about news, so they still had to keep an eye on all directions and an ear on all directions.
At this moment, Jian Changsheng's eyes fell on the door of the theater, and a burly figure walked slowly in front of the young man.
Seeing this figure, Kong Baosheng was suddenly startled:
"Director Wang? Why are you here??"
