Harry Potter and the Candy Factory

Looking at the dark, bottomless hole in front of him, leading to an unknown destination, a sense of unease crept into Sanchez's heart.

According to the usual movie logic of Muggles, passages that look unsafe often lead to unpleasant places. And someone like him, unprepared, was unlikely to be a protagonist, but more like an unlucky passerby who dies early on to highlight the plot…

Thinking this, Gao Biqi Sanchez hesitated in front of the hole for a moment. After a bit of deliberation, his curiosity finally overcame his unease, and he made up his mind. He took out his wand, lowered his tall frame slowly, raised his vigilance, and began to crawl into the hole.

"Lumos!"

As the familiar spell left his lips, the tip of his fourteen-inch applewood wand began to glow faintly, casting a soft light around. Although it didn't reach the level of Charlie and others, who could illuminate the night like day, it was still enough to light up the surroundings in this narrow tunnel, allowing him to see everything ahead.

Gao Biqi Sanchez struggled to crawl forward. Due to his stocky build and tall stature, the tunnel, which would have been easy for ordinary people to pass through, seemed unusually narrow at this moment, forcing him to curl up to continue moving inward.

"I never knew this wall was so thick…"

Little Sanchez illuminated the gray stone walls, which had been there for who knows how many years, with the light from his wand, while estimating that he had crawled for about ten meters or so. He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

After about two or three minutes, the narrow passage gradually began to widen, and the darkness that had been impenetrable was gradually dispelled by the faint light shining in front of Little Sanchez.

With curiosity in his heart, Little Sanchez quickened his pace. Finally, the light in front of him grew brighter and brighter. When he completely crawled out of the inconspicuous hole in the stone wall, a flat, open space appeared before his eyes.

On the open space were several colorful tents of various shapes, decorated with humorous trinkets and posters of animals and clowns.

Countless colorful lights were strung together and placed in every corner of the scene, illuminating everything around, like fireflies, painting a dreamlike picture under the night sky.

The figures of children, large and small, were clearly visible. They jumped, chased, and frolicked happily, holding various foods and toys, freely moving through this dreamlike place. However, apart from the comical clowns, there was not a single adult to be seen, as if everything here belonged only to children.

Laughter, noise, musical instrument sounds, and animal calls converged around Gao Biqi Sanchez.

He slowly stood up, unsure of what to do, and stood there in a daze, staring at every inch of the scene before him, finally focusing his gaze on the most conspicuous sign in front of this paradise.

On the wooden sign, the words "Skipping Mouse Circus" were written in huge bubble letters. And the skipping mouse that had brought him here had completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.

After a long while, Little Sanchez rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After confirming that it wasn't a hallucination, he finally tentatively took a step forward, walking towards the entrance of the circus.

Soon, a chubby clown with orange, fluffy hair, a red nose, and exaggerated lipstick was the first to spot him. He hurriedly stepped on his clown shoes, which were particularly ill-fitting, and came to him with a comical gait.

"Welcome to the Skipping Mouse Circus, my dear little friend! This is a factory of happiness, a paradise of innocence, a unique dream city, a magical utopia where you can completely realize your dreams!"

The clown grinned widely, opened his arms, and embraced Little Sanchez in front of him. Startled, Little Sanchez quickly took two steps back, raised his hands to separate himself from the clown, and corrected the clown's mistake.

"I'm sorry… I don't know how I suddenly got here, and I still don't understand what's going on… But, I'm not a child, I'm over twenty years old, I'm an adult."

[The old book friend who has known each other for ten years recommended me to chase books app, change source app! It's so easy to use, I rely on this reading to listen to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]

"Oh?"

Hearing Little Sanchez's words, the clown's action of continuing to embrace him in a friendly manner stopped abruptly in mid-air. Even his wide grin unconsciously shrank back to its normal size.

He widened his eyes, looked up at the man in front of him, blinked twice, and after a long while, scratched his head and said in a surprised tone,

"Sorry, I thought you were an Irish boy with gigantism… But, but that's not right, logically speaking, an adult can't come to the Skipping Mouse Circus… It's only open to children."

Hearing this, Little Sanchez's gaze went past the clown and looked into the circus. Indeed, from just now until now, he hadn't seen a figure as big as him.

Although his heart was still full of curiosity and desire to explore, he suppressed his disappointment and politely asked the clown, "So, should I leave?"

It could be seen that the clown's expression behind the makeup was still full of confusion and bewilderment, but hearing Little Sanchez's question, he shook his head immediately.

"No, no, no… Since you've come to this place, it means the skipping mouse guided your direction. The circus will not drive away any curious visitors. Perhaps I should take you to see our ringmaster."

"Ringmaster?"

Little Sanchez raised his eyebrows and said in surprise,

"Yes, the ringmaster, the creator of the Skipping Mouse Circus, the magical wizard from Norway—'Smiling Sambi.' If anything happens in the circus, then Ringmaster Sambi must be the one who knows what the problem is."

Hearing his words, Little Sanchez hesitated. He didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at the gap he had come from not far away, and then said,

"Sorry, although I would love to stay here longer, but my father and…"

However, before he could finish speaking, the clown interrupted him, grabbed his hand without explanation, and walked towards the circus.

"Come on, there's not much time left for the game. If we hurry, we might even catch the lion spitting fire show."
