Chapter 1364 – Mysterious Ballroom
Above the vast ocean, a luxury yacht cut long snow-white traces out of the sea surface, humming towards the distance.
Chubby Baili was sitting at the dining table on the top floor of the yacht, wearing sunglasses and carrying a bottle of champagne in his hand, feeling the sea breeze blowing in his face, his face written with coziness.
Cao Yuan forked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, swept his eyes at Chubby Baili’s unruly hairstyle in the wind.
”Chubby, your hairline has moved back again.”
”Puh cough cough cough ……”
The champagne in Baili Chubby’s hand shook and nearly spilled, he glared at Cao Yuan, “What do you know, this is a symbol of a man’s maturity!”
He slowly leaned back in his chair and looked at the distant sparkling sea, “Besides, what’s wrong with a receding hairline? After all, what woman can reject a rich man who drives a yacht with one hand?”
Cao Yuan raised an eyebrow.
”What about Molly?”
Baili Chubby’s right hand, which was shaking the champagne, suddenly paused.
”I can remember that at one time, your relationship was quite good.” Cao Yuan thought carefully, “Back then in Guang Shen, you guys even almost ……”
Baili Chubby’s mind once again surfaced that bus traveling in the rain, with that silhouette wearing a long goose-yellow dress, and complexity surfaced in his eyes.
He was silent for a moment.
”Once upon a time …… don’t mention it.”
Baili Chubby seemed unwilling to continue this topic, directly sat up, “Right, where is Seven Nights?”
”He’s downstairs at the KTV,” An Qingyu spoke at the right time.
”KTV? “Baili Fatty and Cao Yuan exchanged glances, “What’s he doing there? Doesn’t he dislike singing?”
”…… I don’t know, he unlocked the door and we couldn’t get in.”
An Qingyu sighed.
Cao Yuan looked down at the chart in his hand, “Then again, how come this island is so far away? It’s not on the border of Da Xia, and it’s far away from the mainland’s …… feeling that the neighborhood is desolate.”
”Normal, if it’s too close to the land, our forbidden ruins might make a big commotion and be discovered by them.” An Qingyu turned her head to look at the end of the sea horizon, the outline of an island looming, “Go and call out the Seven Nights …… We’re arriving.”
As the luxury yacht gradually docked, the crowd finally saw the outline of the island.
Although it was just an island, the area was far larger than Lin Qiye and the others thought, at least the size of two prefecture level cities, the coastal territory was mostly sandy beaches with small hills, and looking deeper, the outline of a tall mountain could be seen.
Lin Qiye and the others stepped off the yacht and stood on the golden sandy beach, looking around.
”This place, it doesn’t look like it has a training base either ……”
”Commander Zuo only said that he told us to come to this island and didn’t say exactly where it is, so I’m afraid we’ll have to find it ourselves.”
Lin Qiye closed his eyes and his mental power quickly spread out, with the strength of his mental power into today, covering the entire island wasn’t a problem.
A moment later, Lin Qiye opened his eyes with a somewhat odd expression.
”How is it, did you find it?” Baili Chubby asked suspiciously.
”…… I’m not sure.” Lin Qiye sighed, “Let’s go over and take a look first.”
Under Lin Qiye’s leadership, the crowd crossed the beach and walked straight towards the depths of the island.
The vegetation on the island was so lush that there were almost no traces of human activity, and the crowd walked along the rugged path for a long time before finally arriving at an open wasteland.
”Over there.”
Lin Qiye reached out and pointed to a certain corner.
Everyone’s gazes followed, and a gravel downhill path built an unknown number of years ago appeared amidst the clumps of weeds, and at the very bottom of the ramp, an iron gate filled with rust and dust stood tall.
”What is this place? A bomb shelter?” Baili Fatty walked to the front of the iron door, carefully surveyed a circle, “Not right ah …… this air raid shelter looks like no one has opened it for decades, how can it be a place for us to train?”
”But on this island, other than this place, there are no other man-made structures.” Lin Qiye helplessly spread his hands.
An Qingyu took a step in front of the iron door, pinched a piece of rust with her finger, and a deep grayness surfaced in her eyes.
”Judging from the degree of rust, it really should be a product of the 1920s of the last century, the workmanship is very rough, and it really hasn’t been opened for a long time.
Theoretically, no one can live behind this door unless ……”
An Qingyu glanced back at Jiang’er, “Unless it’s a ghost.”
”Anyway, let’s go in first and take a look.”
Lin Qiye pressed his hands on the rusty iron door and gave it a push!
Creak-!
As the iron door slowly opened, a deep and lightless dark tunnel appeared in front of everyone.
”Do you guys smell anything strange?” Baili Chubby probed and sniffed in the air, opening his mouth suspiciously.
”A …… musty smell?”
”No, it’s a …… fragrance?” Baili Chubby said uncertainly, “It feels like some kind of perfume.”
”You’re overthinking it, how can there be a perfume smell in here.”
”Seven Nights, did you hear anything?”
”What did you say? Speak louder! My ears aren’t healed yet!”
”…… Forget it, pretend I didn’t say it.”
The crowd traveled along the deep and lightless dark passage, and after walking forward for an unknown amount of time, a faint fragrance surged into everyone’s nostrils.
At the same time, the sound of extremely rhythmic music came clearly from the depths of the dark tunnel, not to mention the others, even Lin Qiye, who had bad ears, could vaguely hear some of it.
”What the hell …… is there really someone in this place?” Cao Yuan said in disbelief.
Under the crowd’s continuous advance, a ray of light, gradually surfaced in the field of vision ……
The dark and narrow dark passageway opened up, and after seeing what was in front of them, everyone’s eyes widened in shock!
”Crap!” Baili Chubby opened his mouth with a nationalist phrase.
Only to see that at the end of the dark passage, a glorious ballroom stood tall!
The gorgeous crystal ceiling hung down from the ceiling, a dream-like light, slowly sweeping through every corner of the ballroom, golden floating tiles paved the ground, and the dance floor was covered with a golden color.
In the center of the dance floor, dozens of men and women wearing suits and cheongsams are hugging each other, along with the jazz music of Pangwu, rhythmically moving their bodies, looking very intoxicated.
Light songs and dances, fragrant temples and shadows, shaking the eyes of the crowd dazzled.
”This, this is ……” Looking at this unimaginable scene in front of him, Cao Yuan held back half a day, hard not to hold back a sentence.
In this island far away from the land earth, this has been abandoned for a hundred years no one opened under the air raid shelter, how could there be an old ballroom from the 70s and 80s of the last century?
The most bizarre, there were so many people dancing inside?
If it wasn’t for the faint moldy dampness still emanating from the dark tunnel behind them, the crowd would almost think that they had arrived at the old Huaihai’s Bund.
”Something’s not right.” Lin Qiye’s gaze, swept over the crowd in front of him and spoke with a grave expression on his face.
”Here, it’s very wrong!”
