This is a name, but its actual function has long gone beyond the "grand theater" itself.
This is one of the landmark buildings in Haicheng. It has a long history and has been renovated and expanded several times. It is a memory that many Haicheng people cannot forget.
It integrates cinemas, theatres, dance halls, theatres, and gymnasiums, covering an area of nearly 50,000 square meters and can accommodate up to 60,000 spectators.
At this moment, a football match is being held at the Central Grand Theater.
The stadium was filled with people, and shouts erupted like waves.
It's just that these people who are enjoying themselves "above ground" don't know that in the "underground" of the Central Grand Theater, a game that is far closer to the "essence of struggle" than football is breaking out.
——Underground boxing match!
…
Sixteenth floor underground.
Corridor passage.
"La la la~~ la la la~~ Let's go back and watch the beautiful game..."
The old man hummed a little tune.
Occasionally, he would do such dishonest things, especially when he was particularly happy.
A lot of interesting things really happened today.
Just after waking up from his nap, the old man received a call from Xu Cheng, asking him to be careful about something strange happening in Haicheng.
The old man immediately became energetic.
One thing to say, he has been quite depressed these past few days.
After returning from the Rambalama Desert, the old man had many things to deal with.
Not just about my own business, but also about the transcendent world.
The explosion at the Star Chamber of Commerce headquarters also affected the old man.
He was originally the man behind the underground world of Haicheng, and he had previously tried to get his hands deep into the extraordinary world of Haicheng.
Now the Star Chamber of Commerce headquarters exploded, causing witnesses to intervene, making the old man's previous layout full of loopholes!
If you're not careful, witnesses will blame the old man for your investigation.
Although the witnesses are not from the Metropolitan Police and would not mind the old man's "underground" business, they are still affiliated with the official Weilan after all.
Of course, a real-world outlaw like the old man cannot be allowed to have rash contact with extraordinary powers.
If discovered, they would probably be put under control immediately.
The old man could only pause to reminisce about the great adventure in the Lambalama Desert, and turned his head to concentrate on dealing with the "little tail" exposed by his subordinates.
After a lot of work, the old man finally escaped the screening of witnesses.
Hum, young man, want to play with me?
But playing with witnesses is no fun at all.
The old man is really tired.
That group of people is simply a bunch of ignorant young people who are particularly good at performing miracles with great force.
The old man could only use the oldest and most primitive method of evasion, which was to eliminate all documents and then disappear.
It's not fun.
The reason why the old man can maintain a good mood until now is all because of his favorite underground boxing match.
"Xiao Cheng Yi? Don't be so embarrassed, be happy!"
Cheng Yi followed closely behind the old man.
Blackwater Mirror continues to be activated.
Next to Cheng Yi, Brother Plant's hooded copy was holding his own body, while Brother Plant himself was in a coma.
Xu Cheng's control of his strength was very subtle, and the plant guy would probably have to be unconscious for a while.
Taking advantage of this period, the old man and Cheng Yi moved the plant boy to their own territory.
"Boss, I feel a little uneasy."
Cheng Yi's face didn't look good.
In addition to the dark circles under my eyes caused by staying up late playing games, there was also a strong sense of worry.
The old man curled his lips.
"Remember your teacher's teachings again?"
Cheng Yi's teacher opposed everyone's contact with extraordinary powers. Cheng Yi's thinking logic had been influenced by his teacher for a long time.
But Cheng Yi today is different from what he was back then.
"This is my own idea."
Cheng Yi said seriously:
"My teacher and I are different."
"My teacher believes that contact with all supernatural powers will bring disaster."
"But I think that rashly interfering with the 'unknown' extraordinary power is the real source of disaster."
Cheng Yi already has a theory that is unique to him.
"There is an old saying, plan before taking action."
"I think that in the face of extraordinary power, we must first understand the rules."
"It's like a primitive man facing a fire."
"If you don't know the nature of the 'flame' itself, it is very likely to cause a fire or even a greater disaster."
"But what if we already understand the rules of 'Flame'?"
Cha...cha...
Having said this, the old man took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, while Cheng Yi also lit the cigarette in his boss's hand.
"Yes, that's it, boss."
Cheng Yi explained: "If we understand the nature of flame, we can control it and even use it to light cigarettes anytime and anywhere."
"This is what we can do."
"If you think of 'extraordinary' as 'flame', then extraordinary is no longer synonymous with weirdness and horror, but just a very dangerous 'substance'."
"call……"
The old man blew out a puff of white smoke.
Cheng Yi's theory was certainly interesting, but the old man also read its deeper meaning.
"Are you saying that what is happening in Haicheng now is 'unknown'?"
"Yes."
Cheng Yi looked at his hands.
With the activation of his special ability, black water was surging in his palm.
Cheng Yi turned his eyes to the unconscious plant boy beside him.
"I can create his clone, and naturally I can also sense his status to a certain extent."
"His condition...is very wrong."
The old man raised his eyebrows, "Are you saying that he was affected by extraordinary power?"
"not only that."
Cheng Yi shook his head, "In addition to extraordinary power, he was also affected by something on the level of 'reality'."
The old man shook his head.
"don't know."
"I don't understand either. I can't explain clearly."
Cheng Yi's face was gloomy.
He is considered a scientific researcher, but now he encountered something that he could not understand.
The old man smiled and handed Cheng Yi a bottle of Coke.
"Just wait and see what happens!"
"That's all it can do."
Cheng Yi nodded.
He calls the old man "boss", but the two of them are more like a couple who have been together for many years.
Then again, the old man seems to be friends with everyone.
…
The two sent the plant boy to the underground ward.
The protective measures here are extremely strict, and there are even monitoring probes to issue alarms at any time.
If you are living in the underground world, you should always be cautious.
Cheng Yi snapped his fingers and dismissed Brother Plant's hooded clones, replacing them with two ordinary guard hooded clones.
"It's enough to have them here."
Cheng Yi said: "If there is anything abnormal, I will know it immediately."
"Thank you for your hard work, little Cheng Yi!"
The old man patted Cheng Yi on the shoulder, turned around and headed straight for the underground arena.
Today's game was very exciting.
Their champion, Chu Qianqian, faced off against the curator from Jixin Guild Hall!
The old man arrived at the viewing platform on time.
Off the field, Qianqian and the curator were entering the field one after another.
The old man originally had an excited smile on his face, but when he saw Qianqian, the smile on his face suddenly stopped.
At that moment, the old man finally understood what the "feeling" in Cheng Yi's words was.
Because the old man also noticed a vague sense of abnormality from Qianqian's body.
