Chapter 834

The Joyous Theater and Kraun

It should be very reasonable for the past of Sandlais to be filled with the aura of 【Memory】; after all, all pasts can be considered 【Memory】, but the strange thing is... don't forget, why some people came here.

Ear of Secret-Peering!

Why would this thing, which is clearly a creation of 【Deception】, exist in the 【Memory】 of the past?

No one knows, but this is indeed the past of Sandlais.

So if one wants to know why a 【Memory】 play is being performed inside this theater, perhaps one can only follow the "plot" and walk slowly.

But Cheng Shi clearly didn't want to be "manipulated by others," so he turned around and left, drilling back through the gap in the theater door once again.

Seeing this scene, Watching Ai Si and Zhang Jizu looked at each other, their heads full of black lines.

"Zhang Shenxuan, don't tell me you're going to be like the one surnamed Cheng, walking the same path back and drilling out through that door gap."

Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes and looked at Watching Ai Si, smiling meaningfully.

"You are very brave, different from what I imagined."

After finishing, he lifted his feet and followed Cheng Shi, passing through that door.

Watching Ai Si frowned slightly, looking at Zhang Jizu's back thoughtfully; not long after, she nodded in sudden realization, then sneered, ignored the two, and chose to pass through the marketplace and walk toward the theater at the other end.

This road was not far, but Watching Ai Si walked very cautiously; she observed the actions, expressions, language, and posture of everyone around her as she walked, wanting to see if these NPCs, who looked like background boards, were truly real.

In the middle, to confirm the state of these "actors," she even snuck into a cramped alley and killed a few residents.

When the warm blood of those residents splashed on her hands, she confirmed that this was indeed the past of Sandlais, the real past.

So she accelerated her speed, rushing toward the steps in front of the theater, and then, just as she looked up at the theater door, her figure faltered abruptly, and her whole body froze at the foot of the steps.

Because she saw clearly that on those long steps, two people were looking down at her with playfulness.

One was Cheng Shi, the other was Zhang Jizu.

They actually appeared in front of her!

Watching Ai Si was shocked; she turned her head abruptly to look at the door in the direction she had come from, seeing that the door still existed perfectly there, but in front of her, there was indeed another door.

She frowned, as if thinking of something, walked quickly up the steps, arrived in front of her two teammates, and looked forward...

Sure enough!

The door of the second theater was exactly the same as the door in front; even the angle of the push and the size of the gap had not changed.

She widened her eyes abruptly, stunned: "So..."

"So the key is not the direction." Although Cheng Shi was smiling on his face, his eyes were extremely solemn; he sized up the surroundings and said in a condensed voice, "But the 'plot'; we seem to have missed something, so this memory has trapped us; do you think my guess is right?"

Whether it's right or not, verifying it will tell.

Watching Ai Si didn't believe it, dragged her giant blade and walked into the door, and then appeared behind the very first door, looking at Cheng Shi and squinty old Zhang from afar again.

Now, she had to believe it.

So she frowned and walked back to the two, puzzled: "How did you know it was the 'plot'?"

"Guessed, Inspector; we saw your behavior just now; you'd better pray that the few residents you killed weren't key characters, otherwise...

Not necessarily, those three dogs might also be trapped somewhere.

Let's go, elimination method, simple and effective, speed up."

Saying this, Cheng Shi glanced at squinty old Zhang and was about to let the other party go down to explore first, but unexpectedly, Zhang Jizu didn't move at all, instead suddenly pointing to a young man standing motionless at the bottom of the steps:

"Perhaps it's him."

The other two were stunned, looking at that young man.

"Why?"

"Everyone, no matter what they are doing, is moving, even the marketplace stall owners, there is no time for rest or vacancy; only this young man is standing there motionless, as if the entire Sandlais has forgotten him.

If something is abnormal, there must be a demon; perhaps we should go ask him."

Saying this, Zhang Jizu slowly walked behind Cheng Shi, pushing him down the steps.

Watching Ai Si wanted to hide, but didn't succeed, and was dragged to the front by Cheng Shi, becoming the vanguard again.

The three of them walked down in a strange formation, arriving beside the young man, and only after surrounding him did they realize this young lad was actually sleeping while standing.

"..." Cheng Shi laughed dumbly; he pointed at Zhang Jizu, then pointed at the young lad, teasing uncontrollably: "If something is abnormal, there must be a demon; ah, indeed, sleeping while standing is too demonic."

"..."

Zhang Jizu's eye corner twitched; he ignored Cheng Shi's teasing and directly shook the young man awake.

The young man woke up abruptly from his sleep, took off the hat covering his face, and looked at the three people in front of him with sleepy confusion; when he saw the dusty appearance of the three, he blinked and rubbed his eyes in bewilderment, immediately squeezing a standard smile from his face, and then quickly tidied his collar and messy brown hair, extremely skillfully taking a stack of flyers from his pocket, distributing them to the three in front of him one by one, and said with great passion:

"Are the three of you here to watch the performance?

The Joyous Theater has a performance tonight; invite friends with the flyer, the second person can enjoy a 20% discount on the ticket, it's very cost-effective, do you want to see it?

Uh... there are three of you, the third one is not discounted, but...

I can pay out of my own pocket and give your friend a 20% discount, how about it, the performance is very exciting, it will definitely be worth the ticket price."

Cheng Shi took the flyer, glanced at it casually, and then looked at this young man who looked very much like a theater employee, shaking his head and laughing:

"What is your name?"

"Kraun, sir, my name is Kraun, and I am an actor in the Joyous Theater."

"Kraun..."

Cheng Shi tasted the name with raised eyebrows, nodding in approval:

"Good name; you look quite like an old friend of mine; if I didn't know you weren't lying, I would have thought you were her.

Her name is Sha Man, do you... know her?"

Kraun's smile stiffened; he touched his head and said awkwardly: "Sir, it seems you are saying a girl's name."

Cheng Shi smiled; he patted the other party's shoulder and laughed:

"Don't be so rigid about gender; who says a woman can't be a man.

Don't you agree, Zhen Xin?"

Kraun was stunned again; he looked at these three weirdos in front of him with a strange expression, gathered his courage, but still corrected with a bit of trepidation:

"It's Joyous, sir; we are the Joyous Theater here, not the Sincere Theater."
