Global wonders have descended, and only I possess the treasure-hunting radar.

The crowd erupted in chaos upon seeing what was in front of them.

"What is this?"

"Wasn't this underground? Where did this theater come from!"

"Illusion? Strange power? Or calamity?!"

Several civilians carrying weapons instinctively stepped back.

But behind them was no longer the underground river they had come from, but an old wall with red lanterns hanging on it.

The walls were covered with faded theatrical paper.

It was as if eyes were watching them from every single play sheet.

The four-person team looked puzzled upon seeing this.

The reason Gu Jingnian invited them was to protect him and, if things went wrong, to kill the others.

But the current situation is beyond their comprehension.

Let alone killing others.

They weren't even sure if they could get out.

All four of them looked at Gu Jingnian at the same time.

Gu Jingnian's expression was also not good, but he still said in a deep voice, "Don't move around."

The voice just fell.

The main gate of the opera house suddenly opened.

A servant-like man walked out from inside the door.

He looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a light blue short jacket, and had a smile on his face.

He didn't even raise an eyelid when faced with the strange objects that everyone was showing off, and only spoke indifferently.

"Distinguished guests, please be patient. Once you have your tickets, you may enter the theater."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's hands suddenly felt heavy.

An exquisitely crafted brass-colored theater ticket appeared out of thin air in everyone's palm.

Everyone looked down, their expressions varying.

It was written on Su Man's theater ticket.

[Character in the play: A femme fatale]

[Title: The Treasure Hunt at Qingfeng Tower (Six Acts)]

[Scenes: Three Acts]

Su Man's face turned pale.

This title made her feel very uncomfortable.

Xing Lie's theater ticket reads:

[Character in the play: Rough Martial Artist]

[Title: The Treasure Hunt at Qingfeng Tower (Six Acts)]

[Scenes: Act 5.]

Xing Lie sneered and tried to crush the theater ticket in his hand.

"Five acts? Who are they looking down on?"

But as soon as he applied pressure with his fingers, the edge of the theater ticket cut his skin like a knife.

Fresh blood dripped onto it.

The three characters "Mang Wusheng" suddenly became even more popular.

Xing Lie's face immediately darkened.

Something's not right about this.

Lin Youyou also looked at her theater ticket.

[Character in the play: Leading actress]

[Title: The Treasure Hunt at Qingfeng Tower (Six Acts)]

[Scenes: Five Acts]

She gripped the theater ticket tightly, her heart pounding.

The female lead.

These two words don't sound like a bad thing, at least she's one of the main characters.

But at this moment, she didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Gu Jingnian's theater tickets were even more special.

[Role: Troupe Leader]

[Title of the play: The Treasure Hunt at Qingfeng Tower]

[Responsibilities: Director's Duties]

Unlike the others who are characters in a play, he is a character in the opera troupe.

The same applies to the four-person team that came with him and Hanshan.

One is the gong-beater, two are the pomp and circumstance bearers, one is the stagekeeper, and one is the writer.

Gu Jingnian's eyes flickered slightly.

The troupe leader.

Director's duties.

They're a bit better off than the people on stage.

Wang Yan also looked down at his theater ticket.

At first, what appeared on the ticket was...

[Role in the play: Martial Arts Performer]

But the next second, the treasure map on his chest suddenly felt hot.

Those two words looked as if they had been crossed out by an invisible pen.

New content quickly emerged.

[Martial arts performer (crossed out) spectator]

Seat: Last row, number 13.

[Not yet immersed in the role]

Wang Yan's eyes lit up.

This is truly an unexpected delight.

Unlike others who were dragged into the drama, he was just an observer.

If I'm not mistaken, the rule for S-class artifacts should be that you act out a play according to the character on the ticket.

Everyone else is involved in the play, and they might face crises due to the plot, but he is just an audience member.

There is basically no danger.

At this point, the group began to talk.

"Why does my ticket say 'thief'? And why is there only one scene?"

"I am a bandit, and there are four acts."

"What happens if you lose your scene? A curtain call? Are you allowed to leave?"

The servant looked at them with a smile.

"If you lose your scene, you'll die."

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

The next moment, the protests erupted completely.

"Are you kidding me!"

"I'm not acting!"

"A lowly servant dares to scare people?"

A hot-tempered weapon-bearer charged directly at the servant.

He conjured a short, knife-shaped object in his hand, and the blade flashed as he slashed at the servant's neck.

The servant didn't move.

Before the knife even touched him, the man's body suddenly froze halfway.

The anger on his face gradually disappeared.

But a smile slowly spread across his face.

That smile was frighteningly stiff, as if it had been forced out.

Then, he was dressed up as the character from the movie ticket.

Gray night clothes.

Black cloth belt.

The short knife in his hand was transformed into a stage prop knife.

His companion cried out in alarm, "Old Zhou! What's wrong with you?"

The person did not respond.

He seemed like a different person; he turned around and walked step by step toward the opera house.

He sang in a strange operatic style: "At midnight, I knock on the breeze, and find golden and silver seals in my hands."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

He can still walk, and he can still sing.

But it's obvious to everyone that the original Old Zhou is dead.

The servant then slowly spoke.

"If you've taken the ticket, you have to follow the rules."

"You can't go against your identity."

The group finally realized the danger they were in, and some of them immediately tried to run away.

But as soon as they turned around, their bodies moved uncontrollably into the theater.

Some people struggled desperately.

Someone activated the strange object.

But as soon as all the strange phenomena began to emerge, they were suppressed by the theater tickets.

Gu Jingnian said in a deep voice, "Don't resist, go inside first!"

Upon hearing this, no one had a better solution and could only do as instructed.

Wang Yan followed the crowd inside, his expression remaining calm throughout.

He didn't make any sudden movements, nor did he rush to attack.

The rules within the S-class artifact realm have begun to operate.

Whoever is in a hurry now will die.

Upon entering the theater, the ending of "Mu Guiying Takes Command" was being performed.

On stage, gongs and drums resounded.

The seats in the audience were almost all occupied.

The audience members were all wearing old long gowns and sat upright.

They have no faces.

Even when the parts are exciting, people still applaud and cheer.

Several faceless spectators also threw coins and snacks onto the stage.

"good!"

"reward!"

"One more!"

The scene was as lively as a real opera house.

But to everyone else, it only made them feel a chill in their hearts.

As soon as everyone entered, their bodies went out of control again.

The actors walked onto the stage.

The opera troupe members walked to the side of the stage.

Wang Yan was then seated in a corner of the last row.

The seat number was thirteenth from the last row.

The moment he sat down, four lines of text appeared on the armrest.

[Applause.]

【hooting.】

[Donation/Tip]

[Refund.]

Wang Yan's lips curled up slightly.

Although I don't know the purpose of these functions.

But from a common-sense perspective...

Boos and ticket refunds from the audience are definitely not good for a theatrical troupe.

After assessing that he was not in immediate danger, he turned his attention to the system radar.

He has already located the other three S-class artifacts.

One is currently in the hands of Gu Jingnian, the troupe leader; another is in the hands of the gong and drum player; and the last one is the red cloth on the stage.

However, he couldn't find a trace of the S-class artifact, as if it didn't exist.

Has it not appeared yet?

Wang Yan was puzzled.

At this moment, the song "Mu Guiying Takes Command" was finished on stage.

Wang Yan pulled his attention back.

A host walked onto the stage and bowed to the four directions.

"Distinguished guests, the previous performance has concluded."

"Next up, 'The Treasure Hunt at Qingfeng Tower'."

The faceless audience erupted in cheers.

"Let's begin!"

"Let's begin!"

"Sing to Win Treasure!"

The sound of gongs and drums suddenly became more urgent.

The people who had just entered were all dressed up as the characters from their theater tickets.

Lin Youyou donned flowing sleeves, and her face was adorned with the makeup of a Peking Opera actress.

Su Man's head was adorned with numerous hairpins, and the "Charming Heart Earrings" on her earlobes were bound together with red thread, making them appear as if they were part of her costume.

Xing Lie donned the martial arts flag and carried a wooden spear.

Gu Jingnian changed into his headmaster's robe, and in his hand he had a blank wooden plaque and a booklet.

At the same time, lines and scenes were forcibly crammed into their minds.

Some people were deathly pale.

Because they already knew that their scenes were short and that they would die soon.

The host flicked his sleeve.

"The Treasure Hunt at Qingfeng Tower" consists of six acts.

"Act One: The Night Thief Knocks on the Tower!"

The set design changed immediately.

The vermilion gates of Qingfeng Tower were tightly shut.

Two armed men, disguised as master thieves, crouched low as they emerged from the side curtain.
