13 Mink Street

The circus performance is about to start, buy a ticket to enter.

An ordinary ticket for an adult is 5 rupees, a child ticket is 2 rupees, and a VIP ticket is 10 rupees.

Karen bought 7 VIP tickets and spent 70 rupees, because VIP tickets do not enjoy discounts for children.

Tickets of different colors correspond to different areas. After entering, there will be a special person to check the tickets and guide you to the area where you are. The position of the VIP ticket is in the center of the front of the stage.

The area is here, but there will be no specific seat number on the ticket. There are benches in each area, and everyone with a ticket in an area can sit at will.

Karen chose to sit in the third row, he sat on the far left, Eunice on his right, Mina sat in the right row in turn, and Alfred sat in the aisle on the far right.

The music is very loud and the rhythm is very strong. On the stage, there is a person dressed as a clown who is holding a microphone and constantly directing the position.

"Do you feel noisy?" Karen asked Eunice who was sitting next to her.

"No, I think it's very lively and I'm looking forward to it." Eunice said with a smile, "I've never been to such a lively place."

Karen felt that the "lively" that Eunice mentioned should refer to "down-to-earth".

Finally, the audience was almost seated, and the clown screamed into the microphone. He wanted to focus everyone's attention, but unexpectedly, the speaker broke and the electronic sound exploded;

The VIP ticket sits at the front and is the closest to the speaker, which is equivalent to a sonic attack.

Karen took a deep breath, looked at Eunice and the children, and found that although they covered their ears, they were still smiling.

"Dear ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the performance hall of the Caccilo Circus. The wonderful show is about to begin. The first show is Luo Jia's famous song brought to you by our beautiful queen lady: " Luo Jia's Lover!"

A slightly plump female singer walked to the center with a microphone in a tight blue costume. With the soundtrack, she began to sing "Luo Jia's Lover" emotionally.

A song composed by a Wien-Swiss singer who was born in Luojia City but moved to Wien with his parents when he was three years old;

This song once won an award at a certain music festival in Wien. Although in the eyes of the circus from out of town, this song should be a symbol of Luojia City, but the local people of Luojia City have basically never heard of this song. .

The fact is true, the female singer's singing skills are good, but the lyrics and music of this song are indeed a bit too ordinary, and everyone listens to them very boring.

It’s just that the function of the opening song is to ease the atmosphere, to comfort the spectators who are waiting impetuously, and to buy more time for the spectators who have not had time to buy tickets to enter the venue;

After all, everyone came to the circus, not to the concert.

From Karen's point of view, the speakers, the style of painting, the frozen soil on the ground, and the crowds of people around all of a sudden pulled him into the atmosphere of a rural funeral music team in his previous life.

The female singer is very dedicated, and she tried to interact with the audience halfway through, and even pointed the microphone at the audience at one point, but everyone is listening to this song for the first time, how can they sing?

Fortunately, the song is finally over.

The female singer also felt relieved and bowed to the audience:

"thank you all!"

Immediately, horses galloped into the arena and began to run circles around the stage. Male and female acrobats on horseback began to perform various difficult moves, and the audience immediately began to burst into cheers, especially the children, She screamed with excitement.

The circus performance was officially started at this time.

Next, there was another animal taming performance. A lion was doing various actions under the command of the animal trainer, which looked very exciting.

At this time, Alfred, who was sitting in the aisle at the far right, glanced back at the entrance, then lowered his head and said to Lent, who was fascinated by the circus beside him:

"Lent, uncle go out first, you sit down and protect the sisters, you know?"

"Um!"

Alfred glanced at Karen who was sitting a little far away, hesitated for a moment, and decided to bend down and walk in front of Karen:

"Master, there is something going on outside, I'll go check it out."

Karen frowned slightly and asked, "Is it serious?"

"I don't know, I'll take a look."

"Should we go together?"

Seeing Alfred's expression, Karen felt that things would not be that simple. If there were any accidents and risks, he would take everyone home without hesitation.

Alfred looked around and said, "Master, there are many people here, so it's safe. I'll just go out and check it out by myself."

"OK."

Alfred walked out from the exit, because most people were watching the performance inside, so there were not many people outside except for the Chase hawkers and prostitutes.

However, Alfred went straight to a small Chase tent.

Opening the curtain, I saw a man dressed as a Chase lying on the ground, and a woman was prying a savings box, cursing as she pried it: "He died quickly, but where did he hide the key to store his savings?" gone."

In addition, there was an old man wearing a worn-out leather jacket sitting on a small bench, holding a small knife in his hand, and the edge of the knife was facing an iron ring on his ring finger, tapping it repeatedly, making a crisp sound.

When Alfred came in, the old man raised his eyelids.

Just this one glance directly brought great pressure to Alfred. At this moment, Alfred realized that the old man in front of him was an existence that he absolutely could not resist.

And almost instinctively, he compared the old man in front of him with Master Diss.

The perceptual conclusion drawn is that Master Diss should be stronger.

Because Master Diss once gave himself the illusion that I could barely draw with him even though I worked hard.

Rathma threw the dagger in front of Alfred,

road:

"Dig out an eye for me yourself, dig out carefully, don't leave any scratches."

Alfred looked at the woman who was still picking the lock from the corner of his eye;

There was a smile on the corner of the old man's mouth, and he raised his hand:

"Order—a cage."

In an instant, a black frame appeared around Alfred's body, completely isolating him inside and blocking all the abilities of the Succubus Eye.

Rathma is the high priest of the Cult of Order, and below the temple, he is one of the most powerful speakers. When it was reported that he was coming to Ruilan, the heads of the Ruilan Regional Management Office also I was panicked, and when I saw him, I had to bow down and call out respectfully: Lord Rasma.

Alfred could indeed disregard ordinary magistrates, but this one in front of him was far, far higher than the magistrate.

To a certain extent, he can be regarded as one of the cards of the Cult of Order in the secular world.

But at this time,

Alfred, who was almost desperate in his heart before, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief,

I saw his hands closed:

"Praise order."

immediately,

A piece of identification floated out of his pocket.

Rathma stared slightly,

open your hands,

The identity card fell into his hands,

The inscription was signed by the Luojia City Judicial Office in the Ruilan Region of the Cult of Order.

However, Rathma didn't need to care too much about this title. What he cared about was the name behind the title: Diss Inmeles.

Rathma waved his hand, the cage dissipated, and Alfred fell back to the ground, saying respectfully:

"grown ups."

"Are you from Dis?"

"Judge Diss is my immediate superior."

"well……"

Rathma let out an almost undisguised sigh,

Very straightforward:

"I like your eyes very much. I originally planned to grab them directly. After all, you are a strange demon and I am a law enforcement officer."

Alfred said nothing.

"But since you are also a member of the Cult of Kosmos, I am embarrassed to snatch it away, but I can exchange things with you. I believe I can give you a price that will make your heart beat, and take the initiative to exchange one eye with me."

Alfred remained silent.

"But since you are Diss' subordinate, it's inconvenient for me to do anything."

Alfred shouted in his heart:

Praise Diss!

Rathma patted his forehead and continued: "I used to think that I was no worse than Diss, at least not too much, but later..."

Alfred: Me too.

Rathma pointed to the corpse on the ground and said:

"He insulted the Cult of Kosmos."

"Yes, I will take care of it."

This time it happened to be a hearse.

"Um."

When Rasma stood up and walked out of the small tent, the lock that the woman had been picking was finally opened with a "snap".

"call……"

Rathma looked at the big circus tent in front of him. Since Diss' people were already here, he didn't need to worry about it.

I originally wanted to suppress the emotional fluctuations in my heart caused by coming to Luo Jia, but who would have thought that it would return to the original point.

He looked at the starry sky with some sadness,

While walking out, he shook his head and said:

"Oh, this day is all for nothing."

...

Inside the big circus tent, the circus performance is still going on.

What is being performed at this time is a reality magic show. The magician is a very soft-looking man, and his every move seems to be deliberately feminine.

If you observe carefully, you can find that he is actually the clown player in the opening scene, but now he has removed his makeup.

The performance project is "Underwater Survival". An erected glass container has been pushed to the stage and filled with water.

When the host mentioned the name of the show, Karen was slightly surprised. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be called "Survival Underwater"?

It is the kind of performer who is bound and then put into the water, let her struggle and fumble to untie the rope, and finally push the cover to stick her head out. Those who tie the knot in the middle can choose the lucky audience at the scene. This is survival.

Survival...meaning it is more like underwater survival?

"Welcome our performer, Miss Mandira!"

The magician pointed to the backstage, and a young girl in a skirt walked up to the magician while waving her hand to greet the audience;

Her smile was a bit restrained and unnatural, and it was infinitely stiffer than Mina who was asked by herself to sit with Eunice during the day.

Karen frowned slightly,

instinctive,

This female performer named Mandila made him feel a little uncomfortable.

It's not that he has any opinion on the appearance of this female performer, but that as a member of the Inmeles family, he basically helped out at home in the past few months, and it has long been a habit to transport corpses, and he can even drive the hearse out RV felt;

so,

The female performer on stage gave Karen a "familiarity".

this smile,

this texture,

this look,

If she wasn't moving, Karen would have thought she was a "guest" lying on a stretcher waiting to be sent home.

The other party's expression and smile are very similar to that night in the basement workshop, Aunt Mary introduced a guest to herself, and his wife asked her husband to give a gentle smile at the mourning meeting.

Aunt Mary used a stapler to fix the flesh on the other side's face, allowing the guest to present an "exquisite smile".

Like, Miss Mandira's smile on stage right now.

"Next, we invite a lucky spectator to come up and help us tie the rope."

While talking, the magician walked to the edge of the stage and started looking for someone. Because Karen sat in the VIP seat and was close to the stage, the probability of being selected was high.

And the magician directly selected Eunice, he pointed to Eunice, and said into the microphone:

"This beautiful lady, can you please come on stage and help us complete this great magic show?"

Eunice waved her hand, signaling her refusal.

"Don't be shy, beautiful lady, please come up quickly, we are all waiting for you."

Eunice turned her head to look at Karen, as if asking for Karen's opinion, but saw that Karen's expression was a bit serious, so she looked at the magician at the edge of the stage, continued to smile politely and shook her head to refuse.

"Is that your husband sitting next to you? Oh, then, may I invite your husband to come up and help us with this magic trick?"

Karen kept his eyes fixed on that Mandila.

Mandira still maintains the previous "smile", but she will follow the steps of the magician to turn the direction, and there will be some body movements, even constantly relying on the water tank to change her posture with dancing postures, The spring color under the skirt will also be revealed from time to time.

The target audience for this kind of wild circus is not just children, so it is normal to have some erotic elements.

"Sir, sir?"

The magician called Karen again.

But Karen suddenly heard a girl's voice:

"I'm cold...I'm so cold...I'm really cold..."

The voice was very weak, but in this noisy environment, it seemed so clear. For a moment, it seemed that a chill was sweeping over his hands and feet, and Karen couldn't help shivering.

Seeing that Karen couldn't be called, the magician could only choose another middle-aged man sitting in the front row. The middle-aged man immediately agreed and climbed over the small guardrail to get on the stage.

"Sir, please come here." The magician guided him, "Mandila, come and welcome our guest performers."

Mandila walked towards the middle-aged audience, and the two embraced. When the middle-aged audience hugged, they deliberately inserted their hands into Mandila's skirt and kneaded for a while.

Many male audience members immediately let out exaggerated screams and a series of whistles.

"Okay, sir, please come and help us tie the rope around her hand," said the magician.

The middle-aged audience started to tie the rope. He has no binding skills, just loops and knots.

"Okay, now that the rope has been tied, let's invite our performer, Ms. Mandira, to enter the water tank. Everyone applauds and encourages!"

Miss Mandira, with her hands bound, stepped up the ladder. Before entering the water, she faced the direction of the auditorium and bowed. That very standard smile was still there, almost unchanged.

"Everyone count down with me!"

The magician is worthy of being a guest clown, jumping up, leading the audience to count down together:

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

Miss Mandira jumped into the water tank.

"oh!!!!!!!"

The audience cheered in unison.

"hiss……"

But Karen took a deep breath. He felt that he was the one who just jumped into the water.

"Karen, what's the matter with you, aren't you feeling well?" Eunice asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine, fine."

Karen sat down again.

At this time, on the stage, the magician began to lock the lid of the water tank with a big lock, and the audience could see Miss Mandira immersed in the water through the glass of the water tank.

Her skirt floated up, revealing a pair of slender white legs, presenting a strange and exciting picture.

She was still waving her hands, interacting with the audience in the water, and her standard smile remained unchanged.

"Then let's perform other shows first."

The magician took out the cards and began to perform simple, boring and boring card tricks. The audience had actually seen this trick many times and was not interested, but no one booed and booed at this time.

Because almost no one pays attention to what the magician is doing, even if he is sitting there eating a bowl of macaroni, no one will scold him for his poor performance or ask for a refund;

Everyone is paying attention to Miss Mandira in the water tank. Is she still coming out? How long can she hold her breath?

"Cold...I'm so cold...It's really cold..."

The voice appeared in Karen's mind again.

This feeling made Karen think of when he was standing on the first floor of his house and heard Mr. Mosang crying in the basement.

This Miss Mandira is a corpse!

And when Karen moved his eyes to the water tank,

Miss Mandira in the water tank also pointed her body in the direction where Karen was sitting:

"So cold...so cold...they put me in the water over and over...over and over...over and over...so cold..."

"Who are you?" Karen tried to ask in her heart.

"They call me... Mandila..."

"who are they……"

"It's the leader...it's Mr. Magician...the master who bought me from my parents...the one who drowned me in the water...the one who soaked me in the water over and over again..."

Karen frowned, he instinctively wanted to get out of this weird "communication", because he had already noticed that a strong and complex emotion was rapidly infecting him:

puzzled,

Confuse,

resentment,

And the hatred that is so strong that it can almost drip out!

Karen has always been sensitive to emotions. He didn't want himself to be affected by other people's emotions, so he closed his eyes and gave himself a psychological hint similar to hanging up the phone.

However,

When he opened his eyes again,

His vision suddenly became incomparably distorted. This was blocked by water, and it was blocked by glass. All the figures outside seemed to have become exaggerated and deformed a lot.

But he still saw a group of familiar figures, the group of children...

Lunt, Sarah, Chrissy, Mina, Eunice...

I even saw myself sitting next to Eunice!

Karen put his hands on the glass surface, and he felt a strong sense of suffocation. This feeling of suffocation cannot be described in words. What is more terrifying than it is the despair that no matter how you suffocate, you will not die!

Because, you are already a dead person, you will not die again!

This is a kind of spiritual torture beyond human comprehension, as if falling into the Avici Hell on earth.

The audience present burst into cheers because of these actions of Miss "Mandilla", because from their perspective, Miss Mandira has been maintaining a "delicate smile", and this action of slapping the glass surface is even more impressive. As if interacting with them.

Karen kept blinking,

He wants to get out of this state,

Otherwise he would be crazy, he would definitely be.

finally,

After the next blink, Karen shuddered and returned his gaze to his seat.

"Karen? Are you really okay? You didn't respond when I called you just now?"

Karen hugged Eunice, burying her face in her, while her palms went directly inside her clothes, touching her warm skin.

This is almost an instinctive behavior, like when a person is about to freeze to death, he will subconsciously embrace all warmth, even if he jumps himself into the fire, it doesn't matter, because the brain can't think at all at this time.

Eunice was stunned, but seeing Karen's pale face, she didn't push him away, but used her bag to cover Karen's hand, blocking the possible sight of people nearby;

With the other hand, he put his arms around Karen's neck and pressed his face to Karen's.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is just a normal action of a young couple who are sitting relatively intimately.

"Hoo... ph... ph..."

Karen gasped for breath.

I can hear her voice, I can feel her emotions, I can even enter her perspective.

Karen has experienced similar interactions with corpses several times before, but he has never been able to give him such a strong sense of substitution like this time.

Is it because... is she a living corpse?

Is she different from those corpses that were originally lying on the stretcher or in the coffin and awakened by themselves?

Slowly, Karen's breathing began to stabilize.

Eunice kept patting Karen on the back, and she could feel the man in her arms losing control of his previous emotions.

The enthusiasm of the audience is gradually increasing, because Miss Mandira has been in the water for too long, so long that the magician has performed several long, boring and low-level magic tricks.

At this moment in the water tank, Mandira leaned back, and the floating dress almost completely covered her face, which made everyone think that she had an accident and drowned?

Mina Lunte and the others had already covered their eyes, not daring to continue looking down.

"Okay, next, it's time to witness the miracle!"

The magician finally threw his damn prop card on the ground, walked to the water tank, and turned around on one foot, then walked up the ladder, showed the key to the audience, and then deliberately slowed down while shaking his side. to unlock;

In the middle of unlocking, he pretended that the key could not be opened, threw the key on the ground, and then went down to pick up the key again. All kinds of changes made the audience frightened and cursed.

But anyway, the atmosphere is set off very well.

finally,

The magician unlocked the lock and lifted the lid of the tank.

next moment,

Miss Mandira emerged from the water, raised her arms, and performed a classic dance move, like a ballet dancer in the water.

"Oooo!!!!!!"

"AMAZING, AMAZING!!!"

"Scared me to death, really, scared me to death!"

The audience cheered strongly, and the atmosphere in the circus tent was pushed to the top.

Minasara and Chris clapped their hands vigorously while crying. They were really worried about the safety of the female performer.

And at this time,

Karen, who was lying in Eunice's arms,

Turning away at this moment,

face the stage,

There was a deep chill in his eyes, his lips moved slightly, and he uttered a silent phrase:

"Go to hell."

Miss Mandira, who was performing a dance pose and received cheers from the audience, suddenly reached out and hugged Mr. Magician who was standing on the ladder next to him and was taking off his hat to the audience;

"Plop!"

Mr. Magician also fell into the water,

Miss Mandilla raised her long skirt in the water, completely covering Mr. Magician's face, and even lay on top of him, pressing him down.

The magician's hands frantically grasped and released the female performer, even more wantonly than the middle-aged audience who came to the stage to help!

From the viewer's point of view,

This is the next round of performances,

The magician and the actress are performing a passionate scene in the water tank!

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!"

"Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful!"

"This ticket is worth it, it's worth it!"

"It's great, it's so beautiful!"

No one cares how long the female performer and magician have been hugging in the tank, they'll be fine no matter how long, right?

The female performer stayed in the water tank for so long before, didn't she have nothing to do?

Everyone just cheered heartily, communicated heartily, vented the hormones stimulated by this scene heartily, and secretly decided that after the performance ended and went out later, they must go to the tent of Chase girl to vent!

inside the tank,

The magician's hands had stopped struggling, and his face, covered by the hem of the skirt, was forever frozen with a terrified expression.

Mandira still hugged him tightly, without any intention of letting go.

in the audience,

Karen finally realized how inappropriate his behavior was, and he sat up.

"Are you feeling better, Karen?" Eunice didn't question Karen's actions just now, she just cared.

Karen nodded and whispered to Eunice:

"Thank you."

At the same time, a girl's voice trembling with relief came from Karen's ear:

"thank you."
