Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 487: 2-Way

Chen Chuan's gaze fixed on the armor. Based on his own experience, he could confirm that it was an Anomaly.

However, its appearance on the stage, in full view of the public, was it intentional by the organizers? Or was there some special purpose? Or perhaps a sudden, unexpected situation?

He had no way of knowing.

This musical drama itself had many mysterious aspects, and with the participation of many Martial Artists, it was hard to say whether they would use something for the sake of the show's effect.

For now, it seemed that this Anomaly had not yet influenced the people around it, but an Anomaly was, after all, an Anomaly.

After a moment's thought, he decided to wait and see.

On the stage, the shepherdess character was unable to speak because she was a mute, so the interaction between the two was just the knight speaking with a theatrical tone.

The knight's voice was loud and clear, and even without seeing his face, one could feel that he was a person with great passion, possessing an indomitable belief and courage.

But the actual situation was that the so-called knight was just an empty suit of armor, and when Chen Chuan used Second Self to conceal it, the voice disappeared as well.

This indicated that there was no one else providing a voice-over backstage, and that the Anomaly itself was emitting the sound.

The organizers might not really know about this situation, at least the actors on stage were unaware.

He opened the Boundary Token and used the list provided by the cinema platform to check the actors' information.

There, one could see the relevant background stories of each character and the introduction of the actors, with the main actors rightfully at the top.

At the very top were the main actors. The actress playing the shepherdess was Astrid, a female actress from Norland, Da Shun name: Qiu Hudie, twenty-five years old, a Third Limited Martial Artist, but on stage, she looked only eighteen or nineteen years old.

The actor playing the fallen knight was named Thorsten, Da Shun name: Nan Wang, which meant that this actor was originally scheduled to play the role. So where did this actor go now?

He looked at the panoramic photo of the actors, which was almost identical to the external image presented by the knight's armor now.

His eyes deepened a bit.

Afterward, he also inquired about some information related to the stage performance. To ensure authenticity, the props, costumes, and weapons used in the entire stage play were all transported from Norland.

At this moment, the plot on the stage continued to unfold. Setting aside the existence of that Anomaly, the actors' performances were actually very well done. Even the Anomaly did not show any flaws and completely played the fallen knight's persistence and unyielding, stubborn character in the face of ridicule.

The audience had a feeling that the knight of that year was just such a person, and he was vividly presented before their eyes.

The shepherdess's performance was also qualified. Even without lines, her body language and the emotions revealed in her light green eyes were still enough to move people.

Unknowingly, as the plot progressed, the first six acts ended, and the lights came back on, ushering in a brief intermission.

In these six acts, all the main characters had appeared. Next was a major turning point, which was also the most exciting part of the play. The audience was enthusiastically discussing the plot and these actors during the break.

Pan Xiaode and Tan Zhi were no exception, but they were more looking forward to the subsequent fight scenes.

Chen Chuan did not participate in the discussion, but instead picked up the Snow Emperor Blade and left the box.

He was going to see Chen Bitong.

As soon as he exited the aisle, a person walked over from the opposite corridor and greeted him, "Captain Chen, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Chen Chuan recognized the person as Gu Haiting from the Sea Dragon Company, whom he had met in the training class that day. He said, "So it's Mr. Gu."

"Captain Chen is...?"

Chen Chuan said, "I saw Master Chen just now, so I wanted to go over and say hello."

Gu Haiting smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence. I was also planning to see Master Chen. How about we go together?"

Chen Chuan said, "Okay."

He could feel that the other party seemed to be waiting for him here on purpose, but no matter what the other party's purpose was, having someone go with him to Chen Bitong's place would not seem so abrupt.

The two walked in the aisle. Gu Haiting asked, "Captain Chen, what do you think of this musical drama?"

Chen Chuan said, "It is indeed very wonderful."

Setting aside the Anomaly situation, whether it was the costumes, props, or singing, they all had extremely high artistry. Even someone like him who didn't usually watch stage plays could appreciate it.

Gu Haiting said, "I heard that there are special Martial Arts hidden in these songs. I'm very curious if it's true. Did Captain Chen hear anything from it?"

Chen Chuan said, "No, I think it might be because of the language barrier."

Gu Haiting smiled and said, "Yes, in our Da Shun's land, the ancient heroes of Norland may be a bit unaccustomed."

Chen Chuan said, "Any strength gained out of thin air comes at a price. We have our own heritage and do not need to deliberately seek it."

Gu Haiting nodded lightly, "Captain Chen, do you know that the biggest sponsor and promoter of the entire musical drama is Norland's Bolun Company? These foreign companies in Da Shun's territory will naturally bring their things with them. Some are good, but some are not."

Chen Chuan said, "Inevitable."

"Yes, but some things that are done too much still need to be repaired. Even flowers and plants can't let their branches extend onto the road at will."

Gu Haiting said meaningfully.

He looked at the front again, "Oh, here we are, there are many people."

Many people came to the door of the box. Because Chen Bitong was sitting in Council President Quan's family's box, in addition to those who came to visit Chen Bitong, most of them were people who didn't greet Council President Quan just now and came to pay their respects.

But they knew that once they arrived here, Chen Bitong would definitely sense it. If he could see them, he would naturally see them. If he couldn't, it meant that Chen Bitong didn't want to see people.

At this time, the side door opened, and the waiter outside the door made an inviting gesture.

Gu Haiting said, "Master Chen invited us in, let's go." Chen Chuan nodded and walked in with him.

This box was very large, with two compartments. Chen Bitong was in one of them.

After Chen Chuan came in, he looked around and saw Chen Bitong sitting on a wide sofa with his back straight. His chiseled profile looked very rigid in the light, and his eyes were especially deep and bright.

His wide-brimmed hat was placed squarely on the table in front of him, and his military coat was hung on the hanger on the side. At this moment, he was only wearing a gray shirt, and no weapons were seen on him.

"Come, sit down."

Chen Bitong seemed very relaxed, like a true mentor facing his students. After the two sat down, he said in a casual tone, "What do you think of this opera?"

Gu Haiting smiled and said, "Teacher, although I didn't see what I wanted to see, it's still very good-looking. It's an enjoyment visually and aurally."

Chen Chuan said, "Although I haven't seen it before, I think I can accept this kind of thing, but..." He looked at Chen Bitong, "There seems to be something hidden underneath."

Chen Bitong didn't make any evaluation, and it seemed that he didn't feel anything strange. He just said, "If you think it sounds good, then listen to it. Maybe you can gain something."

After the three chatted for a few words, they heard a prompt on the Boundary Token that the second half of the show would begin in five minutes.

Gu Haiting and Chen Chuan stood up, "We won't bother Master Chen anymore."

Chen Bitong also stood up, but he looked at Chen Chuan: "Captain Chen, wait a moment."

Seeing this, Gu Haiting knew that they had something to say. He smiled and said goodbye to them, then walked out of the box.

Chen Bitong then said in a gentle tone, "Captain Chen, I only have one person here. Can you accompany me to watch the next show?"

Chen Chuan's heart moved slightly. He nodded and notified Tan Zhi and the other three with the Boundary Token, then sat down again.

Chen Bitong asked the waiter outside the door to pour a cup of hot drink and said to him, "Thank you for Little Jin's matter."

Chen Chuan said, "I hope Master Chen doesn't think I'm meddling."

Chen Bitong shook his head, "His talent is limited, and I don't have time to teach him, so it's better not to teach him. That way, he might not be too disappointed in the future."

Chen Chuan said, "But I think Little Jin is talented."

Chen Bitong remained noncommittal.

At this time, the lights outside dimmed, leaving only the light on the stage.

Chen Bitong looked there and said slowly, "Let's watch the show."

After the intermission, it was the second half. The noble woman walked into the royal city with poetry. She passed the test of the palace swordsman and successfully obtained the king's canonization.

At this time, she should have taken out the poetry to prove the fallen knight's correctness. However, at this time, she changed her mind and sent someone to kill the knight. The shepherdess defeated the person and took over the knight's armor and spear, and rushed to the royal court. The two actors would have a real peak duel.

As Martial Artists, the two actors would not only use all their strength, but this was also a two-way ending.

If the shepherdess lost, then the whole play would go to a dark ending. Although it violated the main theme, the audience could understand. If the shepherdess won, it would be the orthodox ending.

But because the ending was unknown, the audience's anticipation and tension were maximized.

Chen Chuan looked at the top of the stage. As the scenes passed, the plot quickly came to the time when the shepherdess was awarded the armor.

According to the display of the Boundary Token, the knight, in a high-pitched and passionate song, asked the shepherdess to take off his armor and guided her to put it on. After he used Second Self to conceal the energy field, what he saw was another scene.

The armor fell off by itself, empty inside, and then the actress playing the shepherdess put it on piece by piece, and then held up the gun high.

The shepherdess was silent throughout, but that determination, that courage, deeply infected most of the audience present. Accompanied by the gradually intensifying music, their eyes were filled with anticipation, waiting for the fierce collision that was about to take place.
