Take out the self-heating rice, open the package, pour the rice, side dishes, and seasoning packets into a plastic bowl, add water, open the self-heating package again, put it at the bottom of the outer packaging bowl, add water, put the plastic bowl on top, and cover it with a lid.

Then just wait for the meal.

Some students may ask, can Lu Ban eat in such a strange and mysterious place?

The answer is yes, of course I can.

Man is iron and food is steel, no one can stop Lu Ban from eating.

While waiting for the grown rice to cook automatically, Lu Ban casually shone the flashlight around the hall.

Due to the hole in the dome, the theater lobby was actually much more severely corroded than the corridors and dressing rooms, especially the area directly under the hole.

Apart from the clean stage, the rest of the ground was covered with thick moss and was very slippery. It was easy to fall when stepping on it. The moisture also spread from the broken parts of the dome. There were some plants growing on the ceiling, but only near the holes.

After nightfall, the temperature dropped, but Lu Ban did not feel cold.

“It tastes okay.”

Lu Ban picked up the chopsticks, put the beef brisket covered with tomato sauce into his mouth, and savored it carefully.

The temperature of the self-heating rice is actually not high, just enough to steam the processed rice. The beef brisket cubes are naturally seasoned in advance, and the rich sauce covers up the smell of industrial production. As far as fast food is concerned, the taste is quite good.

While eating and drinking Coke, Lu Ban felt like he was not here to explore a secret place, but to eat and broadcast in the wild.

"Maybe we can really try it next time?"

Lu Ban thought of some wild food UP hosts. Their videos were about eating in the wilderness and eating better than in restaurants. If he came to such a scary and weird place to do a food broadcast and eat very rich food, would he also be popular?

While eating, he also watched the videos cached in his mobile phone. There was almost no signal in this wasteland, but fortunately Lu Ban was well prepared.

He watched videos about supernatural adventures.

The video is about exploring a hotel that is said to be haunted. I don't know if it has 80 stars, but from the outside, the building is extremely dilapidated. Coupled with the dark green underworld filter and the mumbling of the person shooting the video, it is quite scary.

While watching the video, Lu Ban was eating the rice in the bowl.

When Lu saw the host's flashlight turn and illuminate a face, he took a breath.

“How terrible!”

He couldn't help but take a big bite of his meal.

After the video was over, we still didn’t figure out what the problem was with the hotel and it just ended like that.

I watched it, but it seems like I didn’t watch it completely.

Lu Ban also finished his meal. He drank the Coke in one gulp, put the garbage into the bag and put it aside. He looked at his phone and it was only eight o'clock.

Picking up the flashlight and crowbar, Lu Ban prepared to go to the control room on the other side to check the situation.

Lu Ban habitually shone the flashlight towards the control room on the other side and saw that the model dolls with painted eyes were still standing in front of the window, monitoring Lu Ban's every move in the theater hall.

He shone his light towards the control room across from the stage; it was empty.

Lu Ban also took a look at the window of the control room he had been to before.

I saw that in the originally dark control room, behind the broken glass, a model doll with strange black eyes was standing there.

Click——

Lu Ban felt that his heartbeat suddenly became very loud, and the blood rushed to his eardrums, making his ears hurt. Then, he felt that everything was moving away from him. His gaze was fixed on the faces of the model dolls, and he stared into those strange eyes for a moment.

“Has it started…?”

Lu Ban suppressed all the imaginations and speculations that emerged in his heart.

At this point, he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.

There really is a ghost in this Jiangcheng Grand Theater.

If he didn't know what was causing the trouble, Lu Ban might have to worry about whether he would be crushed to death by a steamroller falling from the sky. But now that he knew it was a ghost causing trouble, Lu Ban had a clear enemy.

Moreover, after what he had just seen and heard, Lu Ban quickly came to some conclusions about ghosts.

"The ghosts in this theater can interfere with reality. Whether it's making the piano sound or moving the model puppet, it must rely on physical means."

"The ghosts here are not evil ghosts that will appear and kill living people immediately. It's either because they are not strong enough to affect me, or because they have other intentions. In short, if these ghosts were extremely dangerous, I would have died when I walked into the control room."

“The goal of the mission is to find the performer, and there is only this one piano here, so I will definitely find the performer on this stage in the end. There is no need to explore elsewhere.”

After getting this information, Lu Ban sat down again.

Although the mission has an exploration level evaluation, Lu Ban feels that as an ordinary person with no power to do anything, exploring the Jiangcheng Grand Theater at night is not a wise choice.

Wouldn’t it be nice to sit here and watch videos to kill time?

He took out his phone again and continued watching another video that he had cached previously.

This video is about a woman who thought her house was haunted, so she invited two "professional exorcists". The two men installed surveillance cameras in the house and slept in the guest room. As a result, they actually captured the scene of the hostess with her head twisted and her limbs crawling on the wall.

Seeing the woman in pajamas slowly crawling up the wall like a spider, when he turned his head, Lu Ban clearly heard the sound of something rolling and falling to the ground at the entrance of the hall behind him.

He paused the video and looked back.

It was already very dark away from the hole in the dome, and even darker at the gate. Lu Ban used the light of a flashlight to see the situation clearly.

The gate was empty, with only thick darkness outside that even the light of a flashlight could not penetrate.

Nothing at all.

No.

Lu Ban suddenly had an inspiration and pointed the flashlight upwards, shining it onto the control room facing the stage.

The model doll in a tattered dress had been standing there at some point, with its face pressed against the still intact glass, its twisted and weird eyes staring straight at Lu Ban.

Lu Ban's breathing stopped for a moment.

As the night progresses, these things become more restless.

Lu Ban picked up the crowbar and used the flashlight to check the model dolls in the other two control rooms.

Then he discovered that the model doll in front of the window of the control room at the beginning was gone!

"These mannequins will move on their own at night?"

Lu Ban guessed.

"Are the performers among these mannequins? Are they victims of the fire at the time, and are they left at the scene of the accident out of resentment?"

"What happened back then?"

As he was wondering, the flashlight swept across the theater lobby.

The circular spot of light swept across the second floor, the VIP box, the back row, the front row, the entrance to the security passage, and the backstage.

At this moment, Lu Ban suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a person in red standing at the entrance of the safe passage!
