When the ghosts in the audience saw me rushing out from the backstage, they were so frightened that they retreated unconsciously.

"Lin Shisan, you are finally back..." Huo Qingqing ran towards me with a cry.

"Okay, okay! As long as I'm here, nothing will happen."

I comforted her and glanced at the ghosts sitting at the table.

Although there are many ghosts in this theater, they are all lonely ghosts and cannot make much sense.

Under my gaze, they all retreated and huddled together.

"There are rules in the world, why do you want to come out and harm others?"

"We don't want to harm anyone, we just want relief."

"That's right. We have been trapped here for more than fifty years. Only by burning them all to death tonight can we be freed."

The group of ghosts argued with each other.

It seems that just as I guessed, these ownerless souls should be those who were burned to death in the theater fire that year.

"Brothers, don't talk nonsense to him. He is only one person, let's fight him.

When the time comes, we will open the door.

By then it will only take a fire and we will be free."

Hearing the sound, the ghosts raised their hands and took two steps forward eagerly.

I raised my eyebrows lightly and patted the tin box.

A cry of panic!

The black sword was drawn out in response and pointed towards the group of ghosts.

"If you want to find relief, there is more than one way to find a substitute. If you are reasonable, maybe I can help you.

But if you want to play dumb, don't blame me for being rude to you."

I don't know how much human blood was stained on this black sword, and the evil spirit was so strong that ghosts and gods could not avoid it, let alone these lonely ghosts.

The ghosts looked at each other and retreated unconsciously.

"You didn't say you were going to fight him just now. You go first."

"I...I was just talking casually, it's illegal to talk!"

"Actually, we are all civilized people. We don't need to use swords or guns when we commit crimes. We still have to convince others with virtue."

At this time, a gray-haired old ghost squeezed out from the group of ghosts.

"Young man, put the knife away first, we have something to discuss.

Do you really have a way to help us get out?"

If only it had been like this, I have to force me to use a knife to reason with you.

"As long as you don't harm others, I can find a way to open the gate to the Yin and Yang world and help you escape."

"Are you serious?" The old ghost raised his eyebrows.

"I, Lin Shisan, always speak my mind, but now the theater has been messed up by you.

The show is about to start, and you have to be responsible for helping to finish the show."

Now that the theater performance is about to start, if it remains closed, no one may come to see the performance in the future.

These actors have been tortured a lot, and it is unrealistic to expect them to continue to perform on stage.

It's better to let them help put on a ghost show. As long as they don't cause trouble, the audience may not be able to detect anything unusual.

"Okay, we agreed."

The old ghost stroked his beard and nodded slightly.

"Lin Shisan, but we are performing a drama, is this okay?"

The old ghost let out a sinister laugh.

"Little girl, you underestimate our Cao family team too much.

Our opera has been passed down for thousands of years, and what we pay attention to is solid basic skills and rich sounds and emotions.

It's a pity that nowadays people are becoming more and more impetuous, and no one cares about the good things passed down by our ancestors.

The foreign stuff you played is all leftover from our play.

Don't worry, we, the Cao family, will not do anything to destroy the signboard."

Following the old man's wink, a dozen ghosts floated around and re-entered the bodies of the actors from the art troupe.

"Little girl, we still lack a leading role. Do you want to do it yourself, or do you want us to do it for you?"

As the old ghost said this, he looked at the talisman in Huo Qingqing's hand.

With the talisman in hand, these ghosts will naturally not be able to get into her body.

"You're welcome, I'll do it myself."

Huo Qingqing shook her head like a rattle, unwilling to be beaten to death.

"Qingqing, it's almost time.

The current situation is that you can only play with these seniors, and you should just discuss and exchange ideas with them.

I have to do other things, so take care of yourself."

At this time, Ouyang Xuan's figure floated towards Huo Qingqing. Of course, he was no longer Ouyang Xuan at this moment.

"Little girl, I will play with you later. Don't worry, I will take good care of you."

I patted Huo Qingqing's shoulder and comforted me: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Huo Qingqing took a deep breath and looked no longer as scared as before.

I then turned around and walked towards the corridor outside the theater. The theater's Li Tuan didn't show up for a long time. There must be something hidden in this.

Thinking about it, it seems he can only be in one place.

As a group of ghosts took over the bodies of a group of actors from the art troupe, everything was ready soon.

The old ghost with a white beard narrowed his eyes and shouted at the top of his voice: "The auspicious time has come, we are opening the door to welcome guests!"

rumble……

The door of the Grand Theater slowly opened, and there were already many people waiting to watch the show.

"The door is open, the door is open..."

"I said there was no need to delay. We all went for a walk in the woods by the river. The door just opened!"

"Huh! I only stayed here for less than three minutes in total, so I can't delay it!"

As people watching the performance entered one after another, the stage curtain slowly opened...

Zhiyo!

Under the dark steps at the end of the corridor, the chain on the iron door has already been opened.

I pushed it gently, and the iron door opened immediately.

The surrounding area was pitch black, and a rotten and moldy smell assaulted my nostrils.

Under the influence of the snake pupil, the line of sight in the room is clear at a glance.

In the center of the room was a large pit, with many black skeletons piled up irregularly in the pit.

Li Tuan lay in the pit with a dull expression, holding a lit candlestick in his hand.

As long as he throws the candlestick onto the haystack, the entire theater will turn into a sea of ​​flames.

At this time, the basement was filled with haystacks, all of which had been soaked with oil.

As if he felt someone coming in, Li Tuan's slightly closed eyes slowly opened.

The dim light of the candlestick cleared my cheeks.

"You shouldn't have come. The whole theater will be in flames later. There is no need to add another charred body."

Li Tuan sighed softly, and there was no longer any desire to live in his eyes.

"Being able to say such things proves that your conscience is still intact.

Although I don’t know why you did this, but if you light this fire, I don’t know how many more innocent souls you will add.”

Li Tuan shook his head, his eyes full of determination.

"I can't control that much. Only by burning this fire can they be relieved."

I frowned and looked towards Li Tuan.

"Can you tell me why you did this?"

Li Tuan took a deep breath, and two lines of tears fell uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.
Chapter completed!
