Behind the door was a large theater that seemed to hold two or three thousand people, with rows of seats like endless mountains with no end in sight. The light of the entire theater was extremely dim, except for the two corridors where there were neatly arranged lights in the sky, and the lights were not bright, and they were extremely dim.

The three of them stood at the end of the theater, not knowing what to do for a moment. Jun Yao groped towards the wall on the right, as if looking for a switch, and Jiang Xian also groped around the wall on the left, but both of them were about to touch the large wall behind them, and they didn't find the switch.

Jun Yao clapped her palms suddenly, as if she remembered something, "Ah, I forgot!" In a large-scale theater like this, the switches are generally in a unified lighting control room, mainly to facilitate the presentation of the theater stage. ”

"It's too dim to see what's in front of us, so it looks like we're going to have to get closer." Xu Qingran looked up at the row of lights above his head, and looked around again, the compass in his hand was still stable, he raised his feet and stepped down the steps, walking down step by step.

Jun Yao also took out her prop [Bone Flute], and she followed behind Xu Qingran, always on guard.

Only Jiang Xian didn't move, her eyes fell on the darkness at the bottom, there seemed to be something there, as if there was a force calling her, but it was shrouded in darkness, and Jiang Xian couldn't see it clearly. But she didn't have the idea of going down closer, obviously she wanted to do it, but her body was unwilling to move, as if her nerves hadn't reacted to the danger yet, and her body had taken the first step to respond.

"Bang-" There was a sudden loud sound in the theater of time and space, and before the three of them could clearly identify the source of the sound, a bright white light passed forward from the last row like ocean waves, and the dim theater was instantly illuminated, stabbing people's eyes.

Jun Yao subconsciously closed her eyes and blinked hard, only then did she adapt to the light.

She and Xu Qingran both stopped, and their eyes fell on the stage at the bottom.

The red curtain obscured the entire stage, and there was a row of lights shining directly above the stage, although the curtain was very thick, but under such strong lighting, the things behind the curtain had a faint outline.

"Is there something hanging there?" Jun Yao looked at the vague outline and asked with some doubts, Xu Qingran shook his head, saying that he didn't know either.

Would you like to get a closer look?

Xu Qingran and Jun Yao obviously had the same thoughts, and the two took their right feet almost at the same time.

Suddenly two different footsteps sounded behind him, and three voices rang out at the same time.

"Stop—"

"Don't go!"

"Please stop!"

Jun Yao and Xu Qingran both heard these words, but due to the inertia of their bodies, they still stepped on it, and the two of them looked back, and before they could see who was speaking, they heard a loud "bang-" again, and the entire theater fell into darkness.

In the midst of the panic, five meteors suddenly appeared in the sky, and they flew in the direction of Jun Yao Xu Qingran, illuminating the path between the gate and the position where the two of them were standing.

"Come back soon!" Jun Yao heard clearly that this was Yin Weiyu's voice, so she grabbed Xu Qingran's hand without thinking about it and rushed towards the gate.

[Meteor Track: Attack prop, you can throw up to fifteen meteors and set their trajectory. The area where the meteor passes will briefly illuminate its area, causing a burn effect for 5 seconds if it hits an enemy while it is running, and a 10 second stun effect if it hits an enemy at the end of the trajectory. Each time you use a total of fifteen meteors, you will enter a cooldown of ten hours when you use them.

In the silence of the theater, the two of them could clearly hear what seemed to be something behind them flying towards them quickly, but they didn't have time to defend themselves, and at that moment, they heard a dull sound like something hitting the shield.

It is Jiang Xian's prop [Ying'e Umbrella].

Jun Yao reacted instantly.

Thanks to Yin Weiyu's light and Jiang Xian's use of props to block the attacks behind them, Jun Yao and Xu Qingran finally returned to their position at the original gate.

"It's not good to stay here, let's go!" Lin Mo's voice sounded very weak, but she said loudly, for fear that the people present would miss something and not be able to hear it.

The doors of the theater were slammed shut, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qingran looked at the people standing around, six, seven, eight ......?

Two more people?

James and Linda clinged to the red door leading to the theater, as if protecting the passage behind them, Xu Qingran frowned, looking at the two of them with puzzled eyes, as if waiting for them to explain why they were here and what their purpose was.

Xu Qingran and Mayor James stared wide-eyed, and the two stalemate for four or five minutes, and finally James was defeated, and sighed, "Linda, go prepare some tea, and ask the detectives to go to the hall to rest." ”

Linda bowed to James and slowly left.

"Detectives, please." James said with a tough attitude, as if he would not move if he did not invite you to leave in front of this door, so Jiang Xian opened her mouth and asked, "May I ask, why did you appear here, Mayor Town?" ”

James smiled meaningfully, and did not answer Jiang Xian's question, but asked them instead, "I'm curious, how did all the detectives appear here?" How did you get in? ”

Everyone was silent suddenly, after all, they had deceived the security guard who was guarding the door outside before they came in, and Jun Yao had let them in only through the name of James in front of them.

"This ......" Jiang Xian couldn't say anything, Linda appeared not far away with a plate at this time, which broke the embarrassment that Jiang Xian was about to face, "Everyone, the tea and biscuits are ready." ”

"Please." James repeated this sentence again, Xu Qingran sighed, shook his head slightly, or he compromised first.

So everyone followed James and Linda to the sofa that had just been used in the morning, sat down, Linda carefully poured tea for everyone and handed it over, "Don't worry, I didn't add anything." ”

"Ah, okay, thanks." Jun Yao was stunned for a moment, smelled the aroma of the tea, everyone was looking at each other, Jun Yao took the head and drank the hot tea.

It is a very unfamiliar taste, with a strong fruity aroma and a little sweet.

As Linda said, she didn't add anything to it, it was just a simple cup of tea.

Jun Yao nodded and praised, "Very delicious fruit tea." ”

"If you like it, if you like it." Linda responded with a smile, so everyone started drinking tea, after all, Jun Yao's words had already given them a hint - there was no problem with this tea.

"Mayor Mayor, why are you ......" Before Lin Mo could ask why James and Linda were here, James interrupted her, "Detectives, don't do such a dangerous thing next time." ”

Dangerous? The situation in the theater just now was indeed very dangerous, and Jun Yao and Xu Qingran, who were at the front, actually didn't know what was going on, and they were busy fleeing when the theater fell into darkness.

Jun Yao wanted to ask what happened, "I was ...... in the theater just now"

"We call this theater 'Pandora's Box.'" Linda had already put down the teapot and sat down next to Mayor James, and she replied, "There are many theaters in the Yongxing Grand Theater for different performances, but the theater in the main hall on this floor is not open to the public. Because in the early years, this theater had caused several lives, and the theater actors who were preparing for a new play stayed in the theater day and night, and they had great expectations for this new play that was about to take shape, because it was a play that had been their hard work for many years, and if it didn't succeed, it would be a success. ”

Just when the new play was announced to the public that it was about to be staged, an actor fell off the high platform because of a mistake, and the height of the high platform was not very high, that is, three or four meters, but the actor actually fell and separated his head from his body. And this is just the beginning, another actor accidentally slipped while practicing ballet, and as a result, her foot fell and broke it, and with the injury to help the crew coordinate the stage, she suddenly died of shortness of breath. ”

"There were about seven or eight actors who died in a variety of unpredictable accidents, and the crew was missing more than half of the actors, and the play was gone, and the theater was abolished forever. You shouldn't be in here......" James shook his head, looking like he hated iron.

"That'...... We didn't know anything like this had happened, so we're really sorry......" Lin Mo apologized.

James didn't seem to intend to blame them, he just sighed slowly, "It's just that I didn't make it clear to you in advance, the Yongxing Grand Theater is the oldest existence, as old as the clock tower in Sunset Square, we often hear that some strange things happen in the theater, but it happens too strangely, there is not the slightest clue to look for, and these things are finally gone." That's why I've put a ban on people who have received my wholesale mayor's permission to enter the theater. ”

James got up from the couch and seemed to be leaving, "Let's go, let's go out together." ”

Xu Qingran was a little hesitant, they had just come in, they saw this strange theater, and they had heard some strange rumors from the mayor and Linda, he felt more and more that the Yongxing Grand Theater was hiding a very huge secret, but they had just lifted the tip of the iceberg, how could they just let the opportunity to get it fly like this.

"Have you heard of the legend of Pandora's Box?" Seeing that they did not move, James did not urge, but just stood there and looked at them, and said softly, "Zeus, the head of the gods, gave the beautiful goddess Pandora a box containing all kinds of evils such as disease, madness, calamity, sin, jealousy, theft, greed, etc., and he told Pandora not to open this box, but Pandora, who could not resist his curiosity, finally decided to open this box and brought all the misfortunes in it to the world. So the box that Zeus gave to Pandora was called 'Pandora's Box'. ”

"Once the box is opened, misfortune kicks in, and no one can avoid it. So before we do, let's get out of the way......"

The hint in James's words had been understood by everyone, so Xu Qingran took the lead and stood up, and the six people bowed to James, as if to express their apologies, "I'm sorry for causing such a thing, we...... Leave now. ”

"But trust us, we'll take care of it."

James nodded, "I trust you, you will definitely solve it." ”

"Oh, interesting, Pandora's box was actually opened? Looks like you're going to lose again this time...... Avarice”

"The story is not final, how can you easily draw conclusions? After all...... Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is at the bottom of the box, hiding hope, isn't she? ”
