The past could be changed, reality could be changed, but at the very least, Life Theater would never change.


    Ning Ning had always thought so in the past.


    There seems to be a group fight ahead, the driver said in a slightly nervous tone, are you sure you want to get off here?


    Just as his voice faded out, a person flew over and smashed on the taxi with a huge bang.


    Both of them eximed in fright as they reflexively bent down to dodge it. A few secondster, Ning Ning slowly raised her head and looked through the cracked window, carefully surveying the scene outside the taxi.


    The outside of Life Theater was a mess.


    There were masked people all over the groundsome of them were heavily injured, some of them were lightly injuredbut even the most lightly injured ones were groaning in pain on the ground, unable to get up at the moment.


    At the same time, there were even more masked people rushing out of Life Theater.


    Rushing towards the person who was standing in their wayBoss Qu.


    Ahhhh!! They screamed their lungs out, the legs of the chairs from the theater as weapons, as if they were a person on the verge of death expending thest of their madness.


    The door of the car was yanked open, the person who had been tossed on the taxi got in. It was a woman with thick wavy hair, on her face was a fox mask with long and thin eyes. She said while catching her breath, Start, start the car quickly Its you!


    Her first reaction to seeing her was surprise, then ecstasy. As long as I catch you, Boss Qu would Ah!


    Boss Qu grabbed her hair and viciously pulled her out of the taxi. He roared into the taxi, Why are you still in a daze?! Get out of here quickly!


    Numerous hands reached out from behind him at the same time. Some grabbed him by the throat, some by his waist, there were also a few who ran past him towards Ning Ning.


    Ning Ning was frozen in fear, she watched as many hands reached out to her.


    Ah


    A horrible scream.


    One of the arms had turned into ashes.


    Boss Qu stood behind him, holding a mask in his hand. The mask that he had just ripped off was warm and fresh. The body that no longer had a mask had crumpled to his knees then turned into ashes. The clothes had fallen to the floor one by one, forming the shape of a human, they very quickly turned into ashes as well. With a gust of the wind, nothing was left.


    Ning Ning stared at what happened in a daze, the other masked people also stared at what happened in a daze.


    All of you get back. Boss Qu said coldly, Dont me me if I punish you


    Before he could finish his sentence, he was suddenly astounded, looking straight behind Ning Ning.


    What did he see?


    Ning Ning also turned around and looked, she was also surprised when she realised that the car behind her was a Cayenne.


    Chen Shuang He? Why was he there? Did he tail herOh no!


    The roof of the taxi suddenly bent down as Boss Qu was standing on it. He rushed towards the Cayenne anxiously.


    Before he even got to the Cayenne, his mask had started to burn, crimson undying mes fanned out from his mask to his shoulders, arms then his entire body, turning him into a fiery figure. He fell from the air to the ground, rolling a few times before he started crawling towards the Cayenne again. He shouted and cursed as he crawled, Why are you stopping me?! You cant stop me! I have been your watchdog for so long, I have already waited for one hundred and two years He is just in front of me!!!


    Oh God! Im going to call the police! The driver was unable to bear the unscientific scene outside. He stepped on the elerator, the tires were screeching as the car sped off. About three meterster, it suddenly stopped, Ning Ning stumbling out of the car. She took off her coat and put it on Boss Qu.


    But the fire could not be put out.


    The fire would only burn him, not the clothes, not Ning Ning either. At this time, Chen Shuang He got off from the Cayenne, grabbing her hand and running back in a hurry.


    Where are you running off to? Boss Qu could not think straight from having been burned. He watched the two figures running away from him. Through his mask, through the mes, their figures had blurred amongst them, the figures had turned into two other characters, he murmured, Dont touch my daughter, Im right here,e at me.


    A voice that sounded like both a human and a beast at the same time rang out from behind Ning Ning.


    Let go. She shook off Chen Shuang Hes hand. She looked back.


    A sea of fire.


    The masked people were screaming painfully in the mes. They wanted to run away, but they would turn intoa ming personbefore they could get far. There was no escape, there was no retreat. They cried, shouted and screamed. One by one, they would either walk or crawl back into the entrance of Life Theater. The instant they entered through the entrance of Life Theater, the fire on their bodies would be extinguished immediately.


    There was only one person whose fire was still burning.


    One hundred and two years, one hundred and two yearsI cannot wait anymore Boss Quid prone on the ground, crawling towards the two figures with difficulty, with mes on his body and tears in his eyes. Even if I cannot kill, at least let me take a bite, just a bitelet me vent my hatred!


    Ning Ning took a deep breath then suddenly rushed towards him.


    Wait! Chen Shuang He reached out to grab her but did not manage to grab anything. He took two steps forward but was forced back by the hatred in Boss Qus expression. This was really a head scratcher. Had he ever met this person, nothis superhumanbefore? Why did he look like he had a deep hatred against him?


    Ning Ning walked gingerly into the fire. The mes brushed past her legs, but it was cooling like a breeze. She breathed a sigh of relief. This fire could only burn the mask people, it couldnt burn her.


    She helped Boss Qu up. He was too heavy, causing her to stagger.


    Papa, dont be sad, she said quietly, Im back.


    Ah. Boss Qu struggled on her shoulders, then he rxed and called out quietly, Ninger


    Ning Ning helped him into the entrance with difficulty. She had wanted to go in together, but he reached out and pushed her away. One of them went forward, the other went backward, then the entrance mmed shut abruptly with a loud crash,pletely separating the two.


    Ning Ning took two steps back, then she slowly looked up.


    Life Theater that seemed to be forever open had closed its doors. The wall which had a new poster every night currently had a nk poster. Finally, the two lines of whitenterns at the entrancefrom the start, to the endwere turning red one by one.


    The wind blew, the two lines of bloodnterns at the entrance gently swayed.


    What exactly is happening in there? Ning Ning muttered.


    A hand suddenly ced itself on her shoulder. She turned around and was met with Chen Shuang Hes eyes. He said in a low voice, Give me an exnation.


    Exnation? How would she exin herself? Tell him that that was his great grandfathers adversary who should have been burnt to death but was now detained by the theater to be a half-dead doorman as he waited for his arrival?


    She was afraid that the moment she finished speaking, she would be sent to the mental institute.


    I dont really get whats going on either. Thus she said while forcing a smile.


    Really? Chen Shuang He stared at her with suspicion. You seem to be very familiar with that person just now.


    Ning Ning, You saw wrongly.


    If you werent familiar, why would you rush into the fire to save him for no reason? Chen Shuang He asked.


    A human life is at stake, I was just doing a good deed. Ning Ning raised her arms and took a look, then she eximed, Thats strange, with such a big fire, why arent even the corners of my clothes burnt off?


    Chen Shuang He frantically grabbed her arm to check. As she said, both her and her clothes were fine, there were no signs of them getting burned. How was that possible? Was what just happened an illusion?


    With theunexinable incidentand being unable to get an answer from Ning Ning, she let go of Ning Nings arm and went up to the door and gave it a few knocks, but no one answered, he looked back at Ning Ning again, Ning Ning gave him an innocent look.


    Since the movie theater is operating here, I will definitely be able to find out who owns it. Chen Shuang He said coldly, Even if you dont tell me, I will get to the bottom of this.


    Who opened the movie theater? Ning Nings eyes sparkled, she took out her phone. Please inform me once you figure it out. Thats right, whats your WeChat ount? Can you let me scan your QR code?


    Chen Shuang He,


    After adding each other on WeChat, Chen Shuang He sent Ning Ning back home.


    This time, Ning Ning did not intend to wander around anymore. She rubbed her face that was reflected in the mirror, took off her coat and prepared to change into her pajamas.


    A piece of paper fluttered down from the pocket of her coat.


    Hmm? Ning Ning looked down at that piece of paper. She slowly bent down to pick it up.


    Once she had a clear look at the content of the paper, the look on her face darkened.


    She had held many different kinds of Life Theater tickets in the past, but undoubtedly, the ticket in her hand was the most exquisite of them all.


    Its texture was harder than regr tickets, but it was as light as papyrus. On it was a stamp of a half-length photograph. The photograph seemed to depict a woman with slightly wavy long hair.


    Wasnt that the woman who had opened the taxi door and almost grabbed her?


    Did she secretly stuff this in my pocket? Ning Ning hesitated for a moment before tossing the ticket into the toilet bowl then flushing it down.


    Unless its ast resort, never ept a ticket from a staff membershe still remembered Mamas exhortation.


    I cannot keep the ticket of a staff member. Ning Ning looked on as the tiny whirlpool in the toilet bowl slowly subsided. She murmured, Not to mention a ticket that had been secretly stuffed into my pocket by a staff member.


    Once she dealt with the ticket, she went back to her normal life.


    She made another trip to Director Chens house on the next day. Chen Shuang He was there as well. Both of them were distractedseemingly because of the incident from the previous daycausing them to get a scolding from Director Chen after a few takes. It was Li Shan Zhu who defended them from the side, twitch made Director Chens rage temporarily subside. He waved his hand impatiently. Ill give you two another week. Go back and think carefully about how you want to portray this.


    A week, this was already the limit of Director Chens patience.


    If they still could not meet his expectations by then, he might really swap them out with other actors.


    Ning Ning returned home dejectedly. When she was about to take her keys out, she was surprised. She slowly took her hand out from her pocket.


    On her palm were a key and a movie ticket.


    On the ticket was a stamp, on the stamp was a woman with wavy hair.


    Why is it back? Ning Ning furrowed her brows.


    This time, she simply burned it up then flushed the remains down the toilet bowl.


    Subsequently, when she turned her head while she was still half asleep the next morning, that ticket was lying on the pillow by her side without a scratch, the woman with the wavy hair on the stamp was looking at her on her side.


    Whats going on? Ning Ning sat up. She held the movie ticket, then flipped and looked at it for a long time before muttering to herself, The reason one should not ept a ticket from a staff memberdont tell me, its because you cannot get rid of it?


    Her guess was confirmed.


    Afterwards, she tested a lot of methodsdrowning it in water, burning it in fire, shipping it overseasbesides giving it to another person, she had tried every other method, but it was of no use. The next morning, the wavy hair woman would always be there on the pillow, looking at Ning Ning while lying on her side.


    This is thest method. Ning Ning looked down at the ticket in her hand, then slowly looked up, up at Life Theater that was in front of her.


    Besides dealing with the ticket and thinking of how to portray Little Ai for these few days, she would asionally take a taxi ride to Life Theater. Yet, every time she was here, the theater would be shut, the poster on the wall would always be nk, but the two lines of blood rednterns were slowly fading,like blood that had already dried.


    What happened to Boss Qu? What happened to Shi Zhong Tang? Ning Ning hesitated for a moment before she walked up and knocked on the door. Is anyone there?


    No one answered. She tugged on the chain on the door. Unexpectedly, the chain actually fell to the ground. The door wasnt even locked.


    Ning Ning held the door handle and pushed on to reveal a small crack.


    Never ever sneak in without a ticket! Ning Yu Rens exhortation shed across her mind. She retracted her leg that was already lifted up, trying to step inside.


    She bent over slightly while standing at the doorway, peeking in through the crack of the door. The interior was pitch ck, she could not see anything. After a long while, an indistinct shadow appeared. It looked a little like Shi Zhong Tang. She opened her mouthjust as she was about to to call out to him, someone suddenly pushed her from behind


    Ah! Ning Ning eximed as she fell inwards.


    The masked people who were walking around had stopped moving.


    A red light shone on Ning Ning.


    She slowly looked up and saw that the entire screen had lit up, but it was not the usual white lighta scarlet red light, like the rednterns at the entrance. After a while, a number even appeared on it. It was 10, but after a second, it turned into 9.


    Clomp, clomp, clomp. The sound of footsteps approached her. Boss Qu stood by her side, panting. What are you doing here? Dodo you have any tickets on you? Quick, quickly, any ticket will do, quickly give it to me!!


    Ning Ning had never seen him so anxious, so anxious he was sweating like a pig, he could not even speak properly.


    She frantically took out the only ticket she had on her.


    Boss Qu snatched the ticket out of her hand before she could hand it over, saying in a hurry, One person per ticket, invalid A main character ticket?


    The number on the screen had already counted down to 3. Boss Qu nced at the number, trembling as he tore the ticket. Invalid upon admissionNing Ning, who is trying to sabotage you?


    I dont know. Ning Ning sat on the floor with a confounded look. I was pushed in.


    The moment the ticket was torn, the number on the screen had just turned to 1.


    The number 1 on the screen stopped and stopped counting down,even the red on the screen slowly faded, from the left to right, the red slowly turned into white.


    White light illuminated Ning Nings body, she breathed a sigh of relief, this was when she realised that she had been sweating. Red light was illuminating Boss Qus body.


    You were pushed in? He murmured before abruptly rushing out of the entrance.
