The control room door appears to be locked.
After more than 20 years of trials and hardships, this lock is still sticking to its post and never giving up.
Lu Juan spontaneously felt a wave of respect.
Then he decisively pried open the door with a crowbar.
Bang Dang——
With a loud bang, the lock that lasted for more than 20 years finally came to an end.
Lu Jian came in to the control room.
The control room is responsible for the opening and closing of the stage curtain, the projection of lights, the playback of music, and the operation of the field control. There are three other rooms in Jiangcheng Grand Theater, which are located above the two sides of the stage and directly opposite the stage.
There should have been many instruments in this room, but there is nothing now.
But the control room is not dark.
Transparent windows look into the theater hall, the dome has been burned and half collapsed, so the outside light can shine in, and the control room obviously gets a twilight, but only a little light.
The sky is getting late, and the last swipe of sunset glow is also quickly dimming. The sky seen from here is already dark, and night will soon fall.
Lu Jian looked down from the heights and saw the stage shrouded in twilight.
Surprisingly, except for some scorched black marks, the stage turned out to be quite empty. Even though the seats were empty and messy, the stage was the only one that stood alone, and the dim light fell on it, like a spotlight during a performance. , persistently whitewashing the passing prosperity.
The line of sight moves, and there is a piano on one side of the stage.
"piano?"
How could there be a piano left?
Lu Jian had this moment of doubt.
deng——
The quaint piano suddenly made a crooked sound, but Lu Juan clearly didn't see anyone beside the piano!
Hairs stood up along his back, Lu Jian leaned forward slightly, clenched the crowbar in his hand, trying to see more clearly.
Bang——
At this moment, his foot suddenly stepped on the ground, and his whole body quickly lost his balance, and he was about to fall.
ka——
Lu Jian's crowbar hooked the sill of the broken window, and he managed not to fall.
Lowering his head, Lu Jian saw that there was already a hollow under the left foot he had just stepped on. The floor under the protruding control room may have exhausted the last bit of life due to the arrival of the guests he hadn't seen for many years, and it was broken and collapsed.
If Lu Jian didn't have a crowbar just now, or if he had walked a little further, he might have fallen from the control room and broke at least one leg.
He hurriedly took a few steps back, wanting to exit the room.
But Lu Jian's back quickly leaned against something, and the lines of that thing came through the touch behind him, and it looked like a person!
Lu jian's heart skipped a beat, he turned around hastily, and at the same time as the flashlight illuminated, the crowbar in his hand was raised.
He saw several pale human figures standing in the corner of the control room, where the sunlight from the theater hall had not yet set foot.
That is a mannequin doll.
These model dolls are still wearing tattered tuxedos, skirts, etc., just like guests who are about to attend a grand banquet.
"Why are these things piled up here?"
Lu Jian looked up and down at these model dolls.
He saw, not knowing whose prank it was, the blank faces of these mannequins were painted with crooked eyes.
These eyes seem to be looking in the direction of the theater hall, with a strange taste.
Lu tripped the front one with a crowbar.
like a statue.
He then used a flashlight to illuminate the rest of the control room, which was empty, only these few mannequins were placed here abruptly.
He turned around to leave, and took another look at the mannequins with some anxiety.
Didn't move at all.
It's just the eyes of these dolls, which seem to have turned to the direction of the door where Lu jian is.
"The problem is really big."
Lu Jian took back the flashlight and quickly returned to the front hall.
It was completely dark. He glanced at his phone. At 7:30, he had been exploring the corridor for more than an hour.
At the same time, the text on the phone screen distorted and turned into a cold reminder text.
[Mission Start]
[Find player: 0/1]
[Survive until dawn: 10:29:43]
"Ten hours. Will the sun rise at six o'clock tomorrow morning?"
Lu Jian set the alarm clock for six o'clock tomorrow morning on his phone, put it in his pocket, and then pushed open the door of the creaking theater hall.
Even in the dilapidated present, Lu Jian can still feel the glory of this grand theater. It can accommodate more than a thousand people, which was quite a large scale at that time.
However, the fire burned down half of the auditorium, and the second floor was almost reduced to charcoal. Even after so many years, Lu Yi could still smell the hot and suffocating breath in the air.
The once gorgeous dome was shattered, and the starlight spilled from the gap, making the stage glow with a white mist.
Lu Jian came to the first row, tapped the stage with a crowbar to confirm its firmness, and then jumped up.
His shoes stepped on the wooden boards, making crisp, rattling footsteps, echoed in the hall, which was broken but still had a loudspeaker structure.
All the way to the piano carefully, the light of Lu Jian's flashlight brushed over the piano shrouded in night.
He doesn't understand the maintenance of the piano, and he can't recognize the brand, but the piano gives him a simple and old feeling, but at the same time it has a brand-new meaning. Lu Juan shines the light on the keys, and he doesn't find any dust.
Not only the keys, but even the strings of the open piano, there is no dust.
Thinking of this, Lu Jian finally realized that something was wrong just now.
He leaned down slightly, rubbing the back of his fingers against the ground.
Clean and spotless.
The ground of the stage is clean.
After so many years of abandonment, and no one cleaned it, logically it should be full of ashes.
But
"Wait a moment."
Lu Jian came back to his senses.
The clothes of the mannequins in the control room just now seemed to be not covered in dust except for being tattered! ! !
da——
At this time, there was a slight sound from the direction of the control room on the other side. Originally, this sound should not be noticed at all, but it is so quiet now, and the echo effect here is so good. Therefore, The voice clearly entered Lu Jian's ears.
He glanced over there, only to see, behind the glass in the control room, a human face was peeking at his position.
"!"
The light of the flashlight quickly shone over, and only then did Lu Juan see that it was also a model doll with weird eyes painted on its face.
"Is there something on the other side too?"
He shone a flashlight into the control room across the stage, unfortunately, there were no mannequins there.
Lu Jian walked off the stage, looked around, and there seemed to be no more abnormalities.
He walked off the stage, found an unbroken chair in the first row, patted off the dust on it with a crowbar, and then put down his backpack.
Take out the self-heating rice and water, and Lu jian is going to have dinner first.
