At 1:30 PM, Chen Chuan, along with three others, arrived at the ticket check. The ticket inspector told them that they had second-class tickets and needed to wait until the official start at 3:00 PM to enter.
"Another hour to wait," Pan Xiaode grumbled.
Tan Zhi was also helpless. He didn't buy the tickets; Teacher Wei, the guiding teacher, gave them to him. After all, space was limited, and these tickets were hard to co by, so having one was already good enough.
At that mont, most of the people in the square were like them, waiting outside. Only those who looked like high-ranking officials and dignitaries didn't have to wait and went straight through the VIP passage.
Chen Chuan then rembered the tickets Councilor Pei had given him. They seed different from the tickets Tan Zhi showed, so he took them out and looked at them, saying, "I have a few tickets here too. A friend gave them to a few days ago. Take a look."
Tan Zhi took them and his eyes lit up, saying, "These are first-class tickets." He excitedly told Pan Xiaode and Qi Huixin, "We don't need to wait outside the barrier; we can enter directly."
Chen Chuan nodded, saying, "That's good. I thought I wouldn't need them."
Tan Zhi and the others were very happy. Not only could they enter early, but they could also sit in the inner boxes, which was much better than the original plan.
The four squeezed out of the crowd and ca to another ticket gate. After showing their tickets, they walked through the VIP passage. Once inside, there were special attendants to guide them to their box.
While passing through the hall, the high-ranking officials and company executives who had arrived earlier were gathered in groups of three or five, talking animatedly.
These people weren't just here to see the musical; they were using it as a large social gathering. When they saw these young, outstanding individuals walk in, they assud they were young descendants from so high-ranking official's family and couldn't help but glance over.
However, the martial artists accompanying them tensed up simultaneously.
A governnt official noticed the strange behavior of the advisor beside him and asked, "Old Liu, what's wrong?"
Old Liu whispered, "Council mber Ai, those young people are all martial artists."
Council mber Ai looked at them and said in an admiring tone, "Really? They are all very talented young people."
Martial arts are popular all over the world now. Even if they can't beco true martial artists, middle and upper-class families hire one or two martial combat instructors for their children. Inevitably, many talented individuals erge, so it's not surprising that so young people are martial artists.
Old Liu still looked serious, saying, "Council mber Ai, the leader among them might be a Third-Limit Martial Artist, and he gives a very strong sense of threat."
"Really?"
Council mber Ai was a little surprised. He restrained his smile, looked around, and instructed, "Have soone check them out, but rember not to make too much noise."
The Majestic Light District has very good security, and people usually don't dare to cause trouble. However, with frequent malicious incidents recently and their push for certain security proposals, this shouldn't be ignored.
Old Liu nodded, "Yes."
Chen Chuan and the others had just arrived at the box door when internal security personnel ca up to inquire. However, they were very polite and courteous, as those who could co here were not ordinary people, and they tried not to offend anyone.
Chen Chuan showed his na card, and the security guards imdiately verified his identity through the Boundary Token. They respectfully saluted and said, "Captain Chen, sorry to bother you. Enjoy the show."
Tan Zhi and the others didn't feel it much outside, but at this mont, they could clearly feel the difference between Chen Chuan and them, not only in personal martial strength but also in status.
Although, with their backgrounds, they had plenty of contact with middle and upper-class people, there was nothing rare. However, Chen Chuan could be considered their peer, and that feeling was completely different.
Moreover, they knew that Chen Chuan's background was not as good as theirs, and he had achieved all this through his own efforts, so they couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration and envy.
Council mber Ai also received a report from the security personnel, and he was a little surprised. "Processing Bureau Execution Captain? So young?" He wondered whose offspring he was, but as long as there were no issues with his identity, it was fine.
After Chen Chuan and the others entered the box, they sat down in the comfortable seats. From here, they could see the entire stage, which was a very good view.
There was also a small bar and beverage display cabinet, and each box had a separate attendant outside to provide various catering services at any ti.
At that mont, people could be seen entering and exiting the opposite box from ti to ti, shaking hands and talking, and so nodding in greeting.
Pan Xiaode curled his lips. He didn't like these occasions. When he was a child, he hated being taken to various parties.
After joining Wuyi Academy, he had fewer such troubles. Especially after he and Qi Huixin both got the "sister and brother" look, his family gave him very bad looks, and he was happy to have so peace.
Chen Chuan slowly drank his hot beverage. He logged into the theater's platform, which had many recordings of past musicals and dramas, though they weren't as effective as watching them live.
However, there was still plenty of ti, so he prepared to browse casually.
At that mont, the sound in a certain box suddenly beca loud. A young man was fiercely yelling at a well-grood middle-aged man, attracting frequent attention from people in other boxes.
Pan Xiaode glanced over, "Oh, isn't that Lv Miao, that kid?"
Tan Zhi imdiately asked, "Do you know him?"
Pan Xiaode said, "Not well. I've seen him a few tis. His father is the deputy director of the Security and Defense Departnt. He started martial combat earlier than us and is usually very cocky. The person he's yelling at should be his uncle, Bao Yun, who is his father's assistant."
Chen Chuan glanced over. The city's Security and Defense Departnt was theoretically the superior departnt of the City Patrol and Processing Bureau. The head of the departnt was directly responsible to the mayor and had a very high rank, so he could be considered his superior.
From their words, it seed that Deputy Director Lv had arrested soone, and Lv Miao was demanding that his uncle release the person. However, even if the latter could really do so, he couldn't do it publicly in this setting.
At this ti, the theater's security personnel quickly stepped forward and escorted the person out.
Assistant Bao didn't seem to mind losing face. He apologized to the people around him and followed them out to deal with the situation. As the two left, there were bursts of discussion in the various boxes.
About ten minutes before the official opening of the musical, Chen Chuan noticed that the noise outside had increased. Then, a very refined old man and a dignified woman walked in arm in arm.
The old man was wearing an imported formal suit. Although he looked old, his steps were steady, and his eyes were bright. As soon as he entered, people in the boxes stood up, applauded, and greeted him.
The old man waved to the people around him. Chen Chuan noticed that the figure walking in almost at the sa ti as the two was Chen Bitong, whom he had seen in the Convergence Zone before.
When he looked over, Chen Bitong also looked over. After their eyes t, he nodded to him. Chen Chuan also nodded in return.
Tan Zhi said, "That's Council President Quan and his wife, right?"
Pan Xiaode noticed Chen Chuan's gaze and curiously asked, "Classmate Chen, the person next to him seems very powerful. Do you know him?"
Chen Chuan said, "I t him not long ago."
After Council President Quan exchanged a few words with the people who were waiting there, he went to the box on the second floor in the center, which was the best location in the entire venue.
Chen Chuan saw that it was almost ti, so he stopped paying attention to Chen Bitong, put on the Boundary Token needed to watch the musical, and waited quietly for the musical to begin.
A few minutes later, the bright light curtains around them dimd, and only the lights on the stage lit up, showing a green wilderness with undulating terrain.
It is worth ntioning that the scenery was not entirely realized through the Boundary Token. The foreground was a combination of real objects and lights, and only the distant scenery was presented by the Boundary Token.
After waiting for a while, a ethereal female voice was transmitted, as if floating from the wilderness, rising from the heart, seeming to drive the soul.
Chen Chuan could feel that it carried a Influence Spirit Strength, but the singer herself should not have martial strength from the breath.
It's not that only martial artists can carry out Spirit Cultivation, many religious people in the old tis walked this road, but unlike martial artists, their spirits are usually empty and not condensed, and do not have substantial Strength, but in certain specific occasions, it can cause certain Spirit infection and Resonance.
What is in front of should be the prologue, the dumb shepherdess picked up the down-and-out knight, this chapter is the beginning of the whole article, that is, the 1 chapter of the divine song.
Chen Chuan listened carefully. Unfortunately, perhaps because of the singer, or because of the language barrier, he couldn't hear anything special from it.
However, according to the introduction, the content of the song will gradually advance according to the plot. The more the content is presented later, the more the essence of the whole play is in the second half, that is, when the conflict is most intense. In this case, he is looking forward to the following.
In the singing, a young woman with long white-gold hair walked onto the stage. She wore a windproof hat, a multi-layered skirt that reached her ankles, and so dirt on her face, but her light green eyes were very impressive, reminiscent of the clear lake water.
According to the established repertoire, the shepherdess ca to a tree after taking the stage, and then she pushed aside the grass and found the down-and-out knight lying on the ground.
It seed to be a young man wearing old armor, and the firm lines could be seen from the exposed chin.
At this mont, Chen Chuan felt a trace of strangeness. He tried to turn off the Boundary Token and didn't see anything wrong, but when he used Second Self to shield all external Field data and then looked at it, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Where was the young man, it was just an empty armor.
