I'm not a theatre god

Chen Ling was helpless.

After returning from the time archive, it was already evening. The sky outside was completely dark, and the theater was extremely dark and quiet because there were no electric lights... He thought that he could finally take a rest today.

But it turns out that he still underestimated the enthusiasm of the people around him.

"Sir Special Envoy." Huang Xuyue lowered her voice and whispered in his ear, "I heard that there was a power outage in this neighborhood, and I was worried that it would affect you, so I immediately sent someone to purchase a batch of lanterns to send to you... …When all these lanterns are hung, the brightness will definitely be no worse than that of electric lights.”

"..."

Chen Ling looked at the lanterns of the two trucks outside the door, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, "...Thank you."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Huang Xueyue smiled and bent her eyes, the light of the lanterns in the room reflected in her pupils, like stars in the sky that could not be hidden.

"By the way, there's no progress in what I asked you to find?"

"Not yet." Huang Xuyue shook her head and her expression became serious, "I have visited several botanical experts and showed them what the petals look like. I even sent people to the South China Sea, but Still no one recognized the flower...most of them thought it didn't look like a flower from Earth."

"...Not a species from Earth??" Chen Ling was stunned.

These petals are spread under Mr. Hongchen. If these flowers are not from the earth, doesn’t it mean that Mr. Hongchen is not on the earth? Where else could she be? Hiding yourself in space? ?

"If that doesn't work, maybe I can go to the South China Sea in person and check with the experts again," Huang Xueyue said.

"Forget it, no need...I'll find a breakthrough somewhere else."

While the two were talking, all the lanterns inside and outside the theater were hung up. Dozens of lanterns were evenly distributed in every area, making this the brightest building in the entire area.

Even some residents who were bored at home in the dark couldn't help but come over to join in the fun when they saw the brightly lit theater. As a result, an unprecedented number of people lined up at the entrance of the theater, and the sea of ​​people almost blocked the entire road.

"Sir! There are too many guests outside today. When will we start the performance?" Kong Baosheng, sweating profusely, ran over and asked.

At this point, it was impossible for Chen Ling to make things worse, so she waved her hand helplessly:

"Get ready and start on time."

"okay!"

As Chen Ling turned backstage to prepare, the entrance to the theater became busy.

Jian Changsheng and Diamond 10 stood at the door with slumped faces and began to sell tickets for today's performance according to the queue order. Their movements were mechanical and stiff, like two emotionless ticket checking machines... Since the number of audiences in the theater has increased, Guang Kong Baosheng alone could no longer complete all the work, so the two members of the "professional team" had to work part-time to check tickets for Chen Ling.

"This life is really boring." Jian Changsheng complained softly.

"It's boring, but it's also part of the disguise." Diamond 10 replied expressionlessly, "Only by doing an ordinary job can you blend into ordinary people's lives... And you don't have to stand every day. Today is the Jack of Clubs and the 9 of Hearts. Let’s go to Yexun Hongchen Base, it will be our turn tomorrow.”

"That's what I said." Jian Changsheng looked up at the endless queue behind him and couldn't help but say, "But there are so many people today...Is it because of the power outage?"

"should be."

"Tsk, it would be great if it had a power outage tomorrow...it chose the day when I was checking in to have the power outage. What a bad luck."

"Speaking of which, the power outages in the main city of Hongchen have been a bit too frequent recently."

"Frequent power outages? So what?"

"You just joined the Twilight Society not long ago, and you haven't had much dealings with other forces... It's normal for your perception not to be that sharp." Diamond 10's eyes narrowed slightly, "Sometimes, you have to be able to see through the phenomena to see the essence."

"……What's the meaning?"

"Have you ever heard of Jiangtian Sect?"

…

Outside the theater.

Liu Qingyan looked at the brightly lit theater building, and when the red dress flashed past, her mind moved slightly.

A red silk thread appeared in her field of vision, as if spanning the void, connecting to the man in red, and the other end of the thread was connected to her heart.

It's him, it's him...

Even Liu Qingyan didn't expect that Chen Ling would play three different roles after entering the world of mortals three times. Moreover, the change in style between the special envoy of the Golden Society last time and the famous actor in the mortal world this time was a bit too big. ...But this also proves Chen Ling's top-notch attainments in camouflage and lurking.

As the ticket checking began, the surrounding crowd began to approach the theater. Liu Qingyan, who was mixed in the crowd, unconsciously moved along the line.

"There are only three tickets left. If you are not in line, don't be discouraged. We will issue number plates for tomorrow. If you are interested, you can enter in advance with your number plate tomorrow~"

Jian Changsheng's shouting voice came from the front.

One performance ticket after another was sold, and people in front of them entered the venue one after another. After a while, most of the audience seats under the stage were filled, leaving only a few seats. When the figures at the back of the line saw this, they suddenly He sighed.

When Liu Qingyan walked to the front of the line, Jian Changsheng only had one ticket left in his hand... This would be the last ticket for Chen Ling's performance tonight.

Jian Changsheng was slightly startled when he saw that the last "lucky audience" was a beggar, but he still said:

"Hello, do you want to buy tickets? One hundred per ticket."

"..."

Liu Qingyan reached into her pocket, and there were indeed a few banknotes inside. Although she lived frugally like a beggar, she was not short of money... She took a deep look at the brightly lit theater. After a moment of silence, he still shook his head.

"Forget it...no need."

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the back of the team again, her figure gradually disappearing into the darkness.

Jian Changsheng was also stunned. He didn't expect that someone would queue up for so long, and just when she was about to get the last ticket, she turned around and left... Even if she didn't want to watch the show, she bought the last ticket. Tickets can definitely be sold for two hundred if they are resold. It is a guaranteed profit without losing money.

However, thinking about the girl's outfit just now, she might indeed be unable to afford the ticket price and had no choice but to leave... Thinking of this, Jian Changsheng couldn't help but feel sympathy.

"Then let's go to the next one."

The figure lined up behind Liu Qingyan was mentally prepared to not be able to buy a ticket. He was stamping his feet in annoyance. When he saw this scene, he was immediately ecstatic and took out the money from his pocket to buy it without hesitation. I took the ticket and ran into the theater jumping up and down.

Liu Qingyan walked silently through the crowd, unaware of everything behind her.
