I'm not a theatre god

Chen Ling's eyes swept across the entrance of the casino, and her heart sank.

At the entrance of the casino, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and people are coming in and out all the time, which shows that the casino is booming in business and popular... But Chen Ling's focus is not here.

After the original [Secret Pupil] was integrated into [Hua Zhuyan], Chen Ling's observation ability became more detailed and he became more sensitive to other people's eyes. Just like when he was in the Suzhou Embroidery Museum, he immediately noticed the gaze of the embroidered pictures. As soon as he reached the entrance of the casino, he felt a dozen eyes scanning from different directions.

Chen Ling did not choose to go in, but after stopping, she squatted down naturally and pretended to tighten her shoelaces again.

At the same time, Chen Ling's peripheral vision began to pay attention to the direction in which those eyes were looking.

"The rickshaw driver across the road kept looking at the door intentionally or unintentionally. During this period, a gambler passed by and wanted to take a ride, but he was waved away and refused, saying that he was waiting for someone..."

"The drunk guy at the entrance of the casino was holding a few scattered chips. He looked like he was drunk, but in fact he was squinting his eyes to look around..."

"There are also the group of gamblers who came in just now. They are obviously together, but they don't communicate with each other. Instead, they secretly observe the surroundings. Their waists are bulging, and they should be hiding guns..."

"..."

In the ten seconds it took to tie her shoelaces, Chen Ling figured out the source of these glances, and her brain was working rapidly.

It seems that the people in the world of mortals must have become suspicious and actually sent so many people to monitor the casino. What he has discovered now is just the spy outside the door. There must be more inside the casino, all of whom must be disguised as gamblers. , even worse, maybe there are spies among the internal staff...

There is no doubt that this casino is completely under surveillance inside and out.

"The disguises of these people can only be said to be ordinary. They are most likely from the police... But if the main city of Hongchen is really suspicious of this place, we cannot rule out the possibility that [Fu Sheng Hui] is also involved."

Chen Ling tied her shoelaces and did not go inside the casino. Instead, she passed directly by the door and continued along the road.

Seeing that Chen Ling was not going to the casino, the eyes that fell on him gradually moved away, and his tense body finally relaxed.

In this situation, it is naturally impossible for Chen Ling to risk going in, let alone go to the second floor to join Jian Changsheng and the others... If [Fu Sheng Hui] has really targeted this place and believes that there are Dusk Club members here, then it stands to reason that they should be mobilized immediately They were all suppressed by human hands, but that did not happen now.

In this case, there are only two possibilities:

First, [Fushenge] is not sure how many members of the Dusk Club are here, nor how strong they are. Given the Dusk Club’s current “famous reputation” in the nine realms, there is a high probability that they will be extremely vigilant and dare not act rashly. .

Second, [Fushenge] thinks that they can eliminate all the Dusk Club members here, but they want to take a long-term approach to catch the big fish, using this casino as bait to let more Dusk Club members fall into the trap, and annihilate them all in their last breath.

Of these two possibilities, Chen Ling actually prefers the first one. After all, the members of the Dusk Club are extremely powerful. If a fight really breaks out, the entire neighborhood or even half of the main city will be reduced to nothing. . And even so, they can't guarantee that they can retain all members...

In the eyes of [Fu Sheng Hui], this casino is like a nuclear bomb that may detonate at any time in the main city. If you touch it, it will definitely explode. If you don't find a way to dismantle it, it will be a serious problem, entangled and helpless. .

"It's a stalemate..." Chen Ling murmured to herself, "Either wait for the Twilight Society to make a move, [Fu Sheng Hui] has to take action, and the two sides fight; or [Fu Sheng Hui] secretly holds back some big move and annihilates it in one breath Casino... Of course, it may be that I thought too badly, maybe [Fushenge] hasn’t confirmed that this must be the stronghold of the Twilight Club members?”

But no matter what kind of guess it is, one thing is for sure... Chen Ling must not join Jian Changsheng and the others now.

Chen Ling thought for a moment and figured out the current situation in the casino. The question is what's next?

It is impossible for him to never join up with other club members. The deadlock in the casino must be solved... But how to solve it, Chen Ling has no clue now.

"No matter... first find a place to stay where you can secretly monitor the situation in the casino."

Chen Ling made up her mind and started searching this street.

After walking around, Chen Ling's eyes fell on an abandoned theater directly opposite the casino.

The appearance of this theater building is quite retro, or old. From a distance, it looks like a pavilion made of wood. However, the door and the windows on the second floor are dilapidated, and the lights are not turned on at night. , at first glance, it looks no different from the Chinese haunted houses in horror movies.

Not to mention the old facade, the location of this theater is also quite bad. It's not that it doesn't face the street or there is little traffic, but it is diagonally opposite a neon-lit dance hall, and 40% of the pedestrians on this road are We went to this song and dance hall. The splendid door handled a large number of young men and women, and the passenger flow was not inferior to that of a casino.

Compared with this song and dance hall, this dilapidated theater really looks like a ruin from the past. Even though it is right opposite the casino, no one cares about it.

Chen Ling paused at the door of this theater for a long time, then stepped in.

squeak——

The door of the theater was not locked, and it made a sharp sound when pushed lightly. To Chen Ling's surprise, this theater with a shabby appearance was actually very clean inside. Although it was empty and empty, it was spotless, as if Cleaned every day.

Chen Ling glanced around in surprise. Before he could take a closer look, a voice sounded from the side.

"Who are you?! There is nothing in our house that you can steal."

Chen Ling followed the sound and saw behind a broken door, a fourteen-year-old boy looking at him warily. He was holding a singing spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear was shaking nervously with the palm of his hand.

There are people living inside?

"I'm not a thief." Chen Ling raised her hands to show that she had no ill intentions, "I was just passing by and saw a theater here so I came in to take a look... Isn't it closed today?"

"It has been closed for a long time, and the theater will be sold soon."

Seeing that Chen Ling didn't seem to have any ill intentions, the young man's face relaxed a little, but he still did not put down the flower gun in his hand. Instead, he spoke in a deep voice again, "There is nothing to see here... You should leave quickly. If you don't leave, I will call the police." "

Chen Ling's brows rose slightly. He stared at the boy for a long time and suddenly asked:

"What if... I want to buy this theater?"
