It was a strange feeling.
Lin Sanjiu was very clear about what she was doing, and her mind was still stable and coherent. Her thoughts and actions were the same as usual. She even asked Silvan to bring her to a nearby checkpoint to sign in. After that, they set off for the Theater of Athens together. However, no matter how clear-headed she was, she could not explain to Mrs. Manas, who was hiding in the depths of her mind, because she did not know what to say.
If she had to describe it, it was as if the three of them suddenly had a common secret mission. They could not let others understand it, and they could not explain it either.
It might not be normal, but Silvan and Yu Yuan seemed to be in the same state. Even though none of them said it out loud, Lin Sanjiu could tell from their occasional exchange of glances that they were just like her. Their mission was to carry out this secret mission.
"You will know when you see the Theater of Athens," Silvan smiled at the two of them after he put away the communicator from the Munitions Factory. "It is a very suitable place. Why don't you go there and wait for me? I have to return to the Munitions Factory first and work with my subordinates. "
"Are there many people in the theater?" Yu Yuan stopped beside a traffic information board and asked, "Even though I have been to Heaven Underworld before, I have never been to the Theater of Athens."
"Don't worry," Silvan replied. He tapped on the traffic information board and a handful of coins rolled into the groove. "The scale of the auction this time is huge, and the people attending are all people with some influence in the Twelve Worlds Centrum."
Even though the old human society had collapsed during the apocalypse, there were some rules that would never change. It seemed that the more powerful a person was, the more people he would be surrounded by.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help smiling when she thought about this.
Somehow, she was happy about the fact that there were many people.
The moment Silvan tapped on the black information board, the top of the board shone with a white light. The white light slithered downward like a snake and disappeared into the ground in an instant. They waited for a while, and the ground under their feet began to tremble. With a buzzing sound, a tunnel slowly opened up.
"Remember, when you come out from the land snake, you will be at the corner behind the Theater of Athens. Don't try to enter the theatre before you see me--in case something unexpected happens. "
Silvan instructed.
"Okay." Lin Sanjiu and Ji Shanqing jumped into the tunnel and landed in a rectangular space. It looked a little like a subway platform, except that it had been hastily dug out of the ground, and the walls still smelled of earth, except for a thin layer of flagstones.
Both of them were very tall, so they had to duck their heads to avoid the yellow electric lights hanging low from the ceiling. They came to the edge of the platform and stopped in front of a dark tunnel. Soon, a series of strange creaking sounds came from the other side, causing the electric lamp to shake. In the flickering dim light, a long snake made of wooden compartments slowly crawled out of the darkness.
With a hissing sound, the wooden snake stopped in front of them.
It looked like some kind of handicraft, and it was hard to believe that they could ride it to their destination. Lin Sanjiu crawled into the snake's stomach, feeling a little curious and a little doubtful. Once the door closed, both of them were plunged into absolute darkness. When a small lamp lit up above their heads, the wooden snake suddenly sped up.
As the wooden snake moved forward at high speed, they sat on the ground and waited quietly for the moment they arrived at the Theater of Athens.
"How many more times do you have?" Lin Sanjiu asked abruptly.
"Two. I just sent one at Bliss," Yu Yuan sighed as he leaned against the wall of the wooden snake. Yu Yuan leaned against the wooden snake wall and sighed. "But I'm different from your friend from the Munitions Factory … I don't think many people can resist him."
"I have used up all my chances," Lin Sanjiu consoled him softly after she thought for a while. However, if she were to tell him why she was consoling him, she would probably be tongue-tied. "When the time comes, I will see if I can help you a little … Besides, you look pretty good."
Yu Yuan caressed the wolf head on his cheek and smiled. He didn't say anything.
Even though their conversation was smooth, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but feel puzzled when she heard Mrs. Manas's voice in her mind. If she and them had really undertaken a secret mission, then what was this mission again? No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember...
The wooden snake moved very quickly. When they walked out of the platform and into the night, both of them couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The terrain of the Theater of Athens was perfect.
The dark blue night sky was surrounded by mountains. The valley formed a tall shadow under the sky, surrounding the tranquil and gentle lake in the center. A white two-storey Greek-style building stood in the middle of the silent night, illuminating the surface of the lake. Ripples formed on the surface of the water, and the wind gently pushed the reflection of the Theater of Athens in the water. The reflection of the Theater of Athens was shattered by the water and turned into shards of light that were as dazzling as broken diamonds. The people on the shore of the lake were dazzling.
Both of them stood by the lake and took a deep breath of the cool night air.
Just as Silvan had said, the exit of the "land snake" was located at the foot of a cliff. It was a short distance away from the Theater of Athens. Lin Sanjiu didn't know how the posthumans managed to cross the mountains, but they were just shadows in the distance. They stepped on the wooden bridge that spanned across the lake and were gradually immersed in the dazzling light.
"I didn't expect the theater to be on the lake," Yu Yuan said softly, "Look, there's only one bridge that connects the theater and the shore of the lake."
"Yes," Lin Sanjiu paced back and forth for a while as she observed it, "Once the bridge is broken, the people inside can't get out." As she said that, she couldn't help turning to look at Yu Yuan, "Do you think it's possible …?"
'Is it possible? '
Lin Sanjiu's voice trailed off, and she was at a loss for a moment.
Yu Yuan, on the other hand, seemed to understand what she meant. He frowned and thought for a while.
"No … Breaking the bridge here might not make much sense," he shook his head. He shook his head. "Didn't Silvan say that those who came here tonight are all important people? It's just a lake. I don't think it can stop them. "
"That's true," Lin Sanjiu sighed and leaned against the cliff wall.
"Let's wait for him to come." Lin Sanjiu sighed and leaned against the cliff wall.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait for long before the roar of helicopters came from the sky. Several helicopters spread out and landed on the shore of the lake, stirring up a strong gust of wind in the valley. According to Silvan, the people who jumped out of the helicopters were the last batch of security personnel from the Munitions Factory. The people wearing the Munitions Factory uniforms quickly spread out and each took control of a few entrances and exits in the valley. Lin Sanjiu and Lin Sanjiu looked around for a while and soon, they saw a familiar tall figure.
Under the watchful eyes of the Munitions Factory personnel, Silvan strode toward the two of them. His golden hair fluttered in the night breeze. He seemed to be especially suited for the night. His dark blue uniform seemed to blend with the night sky, and his eyes glowed green in the dark.
"How did it go? Did the news get out?" Lin Sanjiu asked as soon as she saw him.
"No," Silvan smiled at her, revealing his pearly white teeth. "I was in the Munitions Factory just now, so there's no point in spreading the news. I purposely saved all my chances for the Theater of Athens. "
Lin Sanjiu sighed and followed Yu Yuan to the Theater of Athens. "I can't accept the fact that I wasted a chance. Why didn't it work on Jezebel?" Lin Sanjiu sighed and followed behind Yu Yuan.
No one had an answer to this question. The few of them walked past the security personnel of the Munitions Factory and arrived at the wooden bridge. The water under the bridge rippled gently, and the wind brought the cool water over. The stars shone on the mountains in the distance, but they were dimmed by the bright white theater in front of them.
In a place as densely populated as the theater, there was naturally a space behind the main entrance to be used as an infrared disinfection room.
When the posthumans in front of them filed into the bathroom, Silvan greeted a guard and led the two of them to the second floor of the theater. The theater seemed to be a relic left behind by the apocalypse. After the Twelve Worlds Centrum, it had been renovated a little, so most of its original appearance was preserved. The few of them walked straight into the rows of dark private rooms on the second floor and watched as the people below slowly squeezed into their seats.
"Do you see that woman over there?"
Silvan leaned against the railing of the private room and raised his chin. Yu Yuan followed his gaze and asked, "Is that the one with the wide-brimmed hat?"
"Yes. She has a special ability. She often uses her lips to exchange information with others. Go and look for her. Tell her that I introduced you to her. I think there's a high chance that you can successfully pass the message to her. "
Yu Yuan's eyes lit up. He thanked Silvan and immediately turned to leave. When he reached the door of the private room, he stopped and asked, "Aren't you going down?"
Silvan smiled and leaned on the edge of the railing.
