Chapter 774: Do You Think Lin Sanjiu Is The Only One?
It was such an odd feeling .
Lin Sanjiu was very clear of what she was doing right now, and she was still in full possession of her faculties . Her thoughts and actions were normal, and she even had Silvan lead her to a checkpoint to check-in before heading to the Theater of Athens . However, no matter how clear her mind was, she could not respond to Mrs . Manas’s calls . She didn’t even know what she should say to her .
She felt like the three of them had received a common secret mission . Nevertheless, nobody could understand what they were doing and they could not explain it either .
It may not have been normal, but Silvan and Yu Yuan were in the same state as well . Even though they did not speak, through their occasional eye contact, Lin Sanjiu was very certain that like her, they had to carry out this secret mission no matter what .
“You will understand when you see the Theater of Athens . ” Silvan smiled at them after he stashed the communication device away . “It is the most ideal place for us . Why don’t you go ahead of me and wait for me there? I have to return to the Munitions Factory first and join my subordinates . I will meet up with you two at the theater later . ”
“How many people will be going to the theater?” Yu Yuan asked, stopping beside a public transport information board . “Although I came to Heaven Underworld before, I have never been to the Theater of Athens . ”
“Don’t worry,” answered Silvan . He patted the public transport information board, and a handful of coins rolled down the groove . “They are going big this time, and all the people invited are important personages in the Twelve Worlds . ”
Even though the old human society had collapsed in the wake of the end of the world, some of the practices just wouldn’t change . It seemed like the more capable you were or the higher the status you held, the more people would go around you .
A smile crawled upon Lin Sanjiu’s face . She did not know why, but she was happy when she heard a lot of people would be going there .
The information board lit up and a burst of white light erupted on the top . The light slithered downward like a snake and soon vanished into the ground . The trio waited for a while, and then the ground began to shake . Accompanied by a rumbling noise, the ground began to split apart and a tunnel appeared .
“After you come out of the black racer, you will find yourself at a corner behind the Theater of Athens . Remember, don’t try to get into the theater alone before you see me, lest anything bad happens,” Silvan instructed .
After answering him with a “yes”, Lin Sanjiu and Yu Yuan jumped into the tunnel and found themselves inside a rectangular space . It seemed like a subway station platform that was built as an afterthought . There was only a thin layer of cement underneath their feet, and the walls were still covered in soil .
Since both of them were tall, they had to lower their heads so that they wouldn’t bump into the lamps that were dangling on the ceiling . They walked to the edge of the platform and stopped in front of a deep black tunnel . They did not wait too long and a burst of squeals came from the other end of the tunnel and the lamps began to sway . As their surroundings were thrown into a limbo of light and dark, a long snake composed of a number of wooden cars slowly crawled out of the dark .
The wooden snake puffed out a cloud of steam and stopped in front of them .
It looked like some kind of handicrafts and they couldn’t believe that they could actually ride it to their destination . With a little curiosity and hesitation, Lin Sanjiu hopped into the belly of the snake . As soon as the door closed, absolute darkness engulfed them . When a small lamp lit up above them, the snake suddenly accelerated .
Even though it might not look like it, the wooden snake’s speed was fast . Both of them sat quietly on the floor as they waited with bated breaths for the moment they arrived at their destination .
“How many more chances do you have left?” Lin Sanjiu suddenly asked .
“Two more . I spread it to one person when we were at Bliss,” Yu Yuan sighed as he leaned against the wall of the wooden snake . “I’m different from your friend . I don’t think there is anyone who could say no to him . ”
“I have used up all my chances . ” Lin Sanjiu fell into her thoughts for a moment and consoled Yu Yuan even though she didn’t know why she wanted to . “I will see how I can help you . Besides, you look decent . ”
Yu Yuan caressed the wolf head on his cheek . He smiled lightly but did not say anything .
As they were talking, Mrs . Manas’s distant voice once again appeared in her brain, prompting Lin Sanjiu to wonder what the secret mission was again . However, no matter how hard she tried to think, she could not remember anything .

The wooden snake was fast . When they stepped out of the platform and into the night, both of them couldn’t help but take a deep breath .
The terrain that surrounded the Theater of Athens was breathtaking .
It sat beautifully underneath the bluish night sky . It was cold but the mountains were amazing, their graceful undulating shadows stretching far into the distance . There was a lake at the heart of the mountain range, and in the center of the lake was a pure white building that reminded Lin Sanjiu of ancient Greek architecture, splendidly illuminated . Touched by the blowing wind, ripples formed and began spreading in an ever-widening circle . As the wavelets spread out, they shattered the reflection of the theater and caused the entire lake to seem like a pool of diamonds in the people’s eyes .
Standing by the lake, both of them sucked deep cold air into their lungs .
Just as Silvan had said, the exit of “black racer” was at the base of a cliff not far away from the Theater of Athens . Groups of posthumans were walking towards the theater, looking like a string of black dots in Lin Sanjiu’s eyes . Everyone stepped onto the bridge one by one and vanished into the ball of dazzling light .
“I didn’t expect the theater to be on a lake,” Yu Yuan said . “Look, there is only one bridge that links to the theater . ”
“Yeah . ” Lin Sanjiu scanned her surroundings and said, “Once the bridge is broken, nobody can get out of there . ” When she said that, she turned around and looked at Yu Yuan, “Hey, do you think we should…”
‘Should what?’
Before she could finish her sentence, she fell into a trance .
However, Yu Yuan apparently understood what she wanted to say . He lowered his head and frowned as he fell into his thoughts .

“No… Destroying the bridge wouldn’t do anything . ” He shook his head . “Didn’t Silvan say that everyone who was invited tonight is those big wigs in the Twelve Worlds? I don’t think a lake can hold them for long . ”
“That is true . ”
Lin Sanjiu sighed . She leaned against the cliff and said, “I guess we’ll have to wait for him then . ”
Fortunately, Silvan did not make them wait for too long . Soon enough, they heard the dull roars of several choppers from the sky . Several choppers spread and landed around the lake, giving rise to a strong gust in the canyon . According to Silvan, those hopping down from the choppers were the last group of the security department’s members in the Munitions Factory . The figures wearing the Munitions Factory’s uniforms quickly dispersed and stood guard at several entrances to the canyon . Both of them craned their necks and watched for a moment, and then they soon saw a tall familiar figure .
Silvan strode towards them as his subordinates looked on, his golden hair fluttering in the night breeze . He seemed to be particularly suited to the night . His deep blue uniform seemed to have merged with the night sky, and his emerald eyes were especially shiny in the night .
“So? Did you spread it?” Lin Sanjiu hastily asked .
“No,” Silvan replied with a toothy grin . “There is no use in me spreading it in the Munitions Factory, so I decided to save all my chances for the Theater of Athens . ”
Sighing dejectedly, Lin Sanjiu followed after him along with Yu Yuan towards the Theater of Athens . “I can’t believe that I wasted my chance just like that . How come Jezebel was not affected by it?”
Nobody could answer that question . The three of them walked past the security department’s members and stepped onto the bridge . The water was rippling . The wind was comfortable . The stars peppered the sky above the mountain in the distance, but their brilliance was nothing compared to the resplendent white building in front of them .
As a very densely populated area, there was without a doubt a sterilization room behind the door of the theater .

As the posthumans in front of them filed into the sterilization room, Silvan gestured at a guard and led them onto the second floor . The theater seemed to be the product of the modern age, and even though the Twelve Worlds had done some renovations, it still retained much of its original appearance . There was a row of boxes in the second floor . The three of them walked into one of the boxes and looked at the people below as they slowly filled the theater .
“Do you see the woman over there?”
Silvan settled his palm on the baluster and nudged his chin . Yu Yuan followed his gaze and looked ahead . Then he said, “The woman wearing a picture hat?”
“Yes . She has a very special ability . She can exchange information with people by kissing . Go and approach her . Tell her that I am your friend . There is a good chance you can spread it to her . ”
Yu Yuan’s eyes lit up . After he thanked Silvan, he turned around and left . However, before he exited the box, he stopped and asked, “Are you not going down?”
Smiling, Silvan leaned on the baluster .
Beams of light shot out of the theater behind him, casting a halo of light around his body . He gazed at Lin Sanjiu and smiled . “Don’t worry . I can get it done here . ”
