Atlas of Heaven and Man

Chen Bitong said, "Team Leader Chen, regarding this stage play, which ending do you want to see?"

Chen Chuan responded without hesitation, "The King-Slaying ending."

Chen Bitong said, "But many people don't want to see that ending. They want to see another one."

"What difference does it make?"

And only in places where the music has never been played before, the first performance of such a piece will have such an effect.

The ending looks like a choice between two, but the actual direction is not completely as people wish. Sometimes, when the actual ending contradicts the prior arrangement, then there may be uncertain factors."

He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "And I'm here to eliminate that uncertain factor."

Chen Chuan understood at this time, because they could benefit from the musical, the upper echelons certainly preferred to see the ending where the king judges everything, rather than the king-slaying ending.

Of course, if the king-slaying ending was beneficial to them, they would probably kill the king again and again.

He thought for a moment that using anomalies naturally required confronting anomalies. This was unavoidable. The real ending of this story might be the king-slaying ending.

The appearance of that old armor anomaly was likely to correct this ending and kill that king.

And the king is not just the king on the stage, he should be the person who can represent 'king' in the entire venue, the person who ultimately benefits the most.

Similar problems should have occurred in the past, and there was already experience, so the Chairman of the Assembly brought Chen Bitong by his side early on.

He asked again, "Then what are the so-called positive benefits?"

Chen Bitong shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's nothing more than those things."

Chen Chuan said, "Isn't there a price to pay?"

Chen Bitong said, "There may be bad effects on the actors, but those are the actors selected by Bolun Company, and it has nothing to do with us. They have already reached a stable agreement in advance."

Chen Chuan understood that this was an exchange of interests. The Chairman of the Assembly had the opportunity to obtain some kind of benefit, and Bolun Company might also be able to gain something through this arrangement.

After learning this, he saw the audience below preparing to leave and didn't want to stay any longer.

"Teacher Chen, since this performance has come to an end here, then I'll leave first."

Chen Bitong slowly said, "Team Leader Chen, you are still young. There is no need to rush many things. Listening and watching slowly will give you a chance to correct and change things."

Chen Chuan glanced at him, nodded, and left here, returning to the original box.

Originally, there was supposed to be a scene after this and the final curtain call, but the two leading actors were taken to the infirmary, so it ended hastily.

After meeting with Tan Zhi and the other two who were waiting here, they walked out together. Pan Xiaode finally couldn't help but ask, "Classmate Chen, was that just now... arranged in advance?"

Chen Chuan shook his head and said, "That was just an accident."

Tan Zhi looked at him and patted Pan Xiaode's shoulder: "Now you know how powerful Classmate Chen is, right?"

Pan Xiaode immediately perked up when he heard this. "Yes, I couldn't even see Classmate Chen's movements just now. If Classmate Chen showed such strength when sparring with us, then we wouldn't even think about winning."

He said to himself, "Intensity is everything..."

Tan Zhi said, "The fight on stage just now was quite lively. I thought the two leading actors were very powerful, but I didn't expect Classmate Chen to solve the problem as soon as he went up."

Pan Xiaode then asked curiously, "Speaking of these two endings... which is the real ending of the hymn? Did the shepherdess defeat the noblewoman, or did the noblewoman defeat the shepherdess?"

Tan Zhi shrugged and said, "Who knows? There used to be a ruin in that place. Some people went to see it. It is said that the old palace collapsed and nothing was left. No one knows the real ending."

"What about the fallen knight?"

"There are too many records, and it's hard to tell. It is said that only the armor has been passed down."

At this time, they had already left the corridor of the box. Chen Chuan stopped and said, "Everyone, please go back first. I may still have some things to deal with."

Tan Zhi and the other two knew that he had an identity with the Bureau of Anomalies and guessed that there might be follow-up to the matter just now, so they said okay, said goodbye to him here, and turned back.

Chen Chuan returned to the place of the fight just now alone. After looking at it a few times, he walked onto the stage and entered the backstage through the passage. There were crew members packing things up here. When they saw him coming in, one person came over to inquire about his intentions.

He showed his name card and said, "I am very interested in the props used in the performance here, so I would like to buy a few pieces."

The crew member replied, "Sir, we will go through a public auction process after the performance is over. We cannot sell them to the public now. Please forgive us."

"Wait a moment."

At this time, a fat man with yellow hair walked out. He could tell that he was a Norlander, but his Da Shun language was very fluent. "I am Gao Hong, the person in charge of affairs here." He squeezed past the crew member and came up to shake hands enthusiastically, "Team Leader Chen, hello, I wonder which prop Team Leader Chen is interested in."

Chen Chuan directly said, "The knight's armor just now."

"That set of leading actor's armor is indeed very memorable..." Gao Hong said with a flattering smile, "Although we have performances coming up, we still have spares. This set can certainly be sold to Team Leader Chen, but the set just now was damaged and has not had time to be repaired..."

Chen Chuan said, "It doesn't matter."

"Okay, okay, it's our honor."

Gao Hong called two people over and carried out the set of armor that had just been sorted out, as well as the rusty sword that he had interrupted, were also inside.

Don't look at how easily the shepherdess put it on, but it is actually very heavy. This set of full body armor and sword weighs at least hundreds of pounds.

Chen Chuan glanced at it. Generally, items involving anomalies will be transformed into something else after the disposal is completed, but this one does not seem to be.

Either it has something special about it, or the main body of the strange tale is not on this, but has another source. He guessed that it might be the song itself.

Now this one just looks like an ordinary prop.

He asked about the price. Gao Hong only charged a symbolic amount of money and also gave him a sturdy package to put it in.

Chen Chuan thanked him, took it, and walked out of the theater.

In another direction, Tan Zhi's guidance teacher, Teacher Wei, was walking to the parking lot with a councilor who was on good terms with her, and they sat in together.

The councilor said, "That Team Leader Chen, is that the one Xiaoying you mentioned last time?"

"Yes."

Teacher Wei said, "He has a very good relationship with my student."

"If you have the opportunity, then try to get on good terms with him."

"I know, I've been doing it."

"I'm not talking about that matter."

The councilor said, "This one now seems to have caught the eye of the Chairman of the Assembly, and his future is limitless." He waved his hand to signal the driver in front to drive.

The armored limousine gradually started to move, and Teacher Wei looked at the gradually receding and blurring light curtain and neon lights outside, and she was also filled with emotion.

A pure fighter may have social status and possess considerable wealth, but only by holding power can one truly be strong.

She was a little regretful that those few tickets were for Tan Zhi. Although they were not in the upper-level boxes, they were considered good seats, separated from the surrounding seats.

Her original plan was to take the opportunity to talk to Tan Zhi between acts and get closer to Chen Chuan, and to bring up the matter from the beginning, but she did not expect that Chen Chuan did not choose to sit there at all, but went to another box.

Forget it, there will still be opportunities in the future.

After Chen Chuan left the theater, he drove back to the dormitory. After washing up, he put the package containing the armor in the training room, preparing to ask the logistics team of the Bureau of Anomalies to repair it later.

This kind of strange tale remnant should be stored separately from the weapon collection room to avoid any mutual influence, after all, there is no guarantee that the remnants will not have problems at all.

Then he came to the window and contacted Counselor Pei with the Realm Token. After connecting, he generally talked about what he had experienced today, as well as what he said after meeting Chen Bitong.

After listening, Counselor Pei said, "It's not surprising that Chen Bitong wants to give you a chance. In the past, he often gave opportunities to the juniors he favored, which is why so many people admire him.

This shows that you have caught his eye, Team Leader Chen. Remember to go to the training guidance class once. That way, if Chen Bitong is transferred back to the Convergence Zone, then we will try to transfer you to his side."

Chen Chuan asked, "How likely is he to go back?"

Counselor Pei said, "There is a great chance." Speaking of this, he hesitated, "It also depends on the decision from above. There is a situation that may have an impact, but it is not yet certain. Perhaps we will know soon. I will tell you when there is definite news."
