Chapter 369 Let the Carnival Begin

Unexpectedly, the first person to express her willingness to participate was Liu Yuan. Nightingale could not sit still anymore. She grabbed Liu Yuan's hand. The touch of the zombie's cold skin immediately passed through her palm, but Nightingale still did not let go.

"Liu Yuan, are you crazy...! This is from the Special Management Bureau!"

Liu Yuan's pupils, half covered by the talisman paper, glanced at Nightingale, and then said indifferently: "Just right."

"Captain!" Nightingale turned back to look at Xingli, a pleading look in her eyes: "Is there something wrong with Liu Yuan's talisman paper? Why is she still talking nonsense in this state?"

Unexpectedly, Xingli and Xingluo also picked up a few pieces of paper: "Xingluo and I are not very strong in combat, so we will be responsible for these areas."

"Captain! Xingluo! Are you two crazy too? We are a circus! Not a mercenary group! Don't do anything stupid!"

Amidst Nightingale's cries, Luo Chenming didn't take the initiative to pick up the paper. Instead, he conjured up a few more cards from the playing card in his hand, and then handed them to everyone: "I have even less combat power, but my realm characteristic is spatial transfer, which can help you teleport your line of sight over a short distance."

When Li Muhan heard about space transfer, he was stunned at first, because a similar space transfer method had appeared in the previous Moriarty incident, but it was somewhat different from Luo Chenming's. That method must be achieved through a special device in the realm decree, but Luo Chenming's method seemed to be a characteristic of him as an alien.

This made Li Muhan curious about what Luo Chenming's true identity was.

"The enemy will never stand still. We will take the initiative to attack, and they will wait for an opportunity to counterattack. They are even searching for us now. It's like a sophisticated game of chess, and every move requires careful consideration. My ability exists to meet such challenges."

As Luo Chenming spoke, he produced a King of Spades from thin air in his hand and handed it to Li Muhan cautiously.

Then he emphasized again: "Please rest assured, as long as you still have a glimmer of hope, I have the ability to rescue you from danger and transfer you to a safe place." Li Muhan nodded slightly, took the card, and felt the breath contained in it.

Luo Chenming then turned his gaze to Xia Yue, a Queen of Hearts in his hand, which he gracefully handed to her, as if delivering a silent promise. He continued, "You two are undoubtedly the backbone of our forces, and the enemy's primary target is you, so you must be extremely cautious. If either of you falls into their hands, all Nightingale Circus operations will cease immediately, and we will not risk a rescue. Do you understand and accept this decision?"

He looked at Li Muhan and Xia Yue in turn, waiting for their responses.

Xia Yue nodded slightly to show her understanding and agreement.

Li Muhan smiled gently and put away his cards to show his acceptance: "Of course, I don't want to see any of you get into an accident. Your safety is equally important."

Nightingale seemed to have given up resisting. Her fingers trembled slightly as she tried to touch the map, but the fat clown got there first and quickly grabbed the piece of paper.

His voice was firm: "Miss Nightingale, you are not good at fighting. Staying here will be a valuable backup for us."

Nightingale opened her eyes wide and looked at the fat clown in surprise. This usually timid clown had become her protector at this moment.

"Gaoh, gaoh!"

At this moment, the bear-shaped doll costumed handing out flyers that had been standing by the wall suddenly moved on its own, rushed over, grabbed a piece of paper, and then shouted to everyone, "Gahh ...

"Oh my god! Is this thing fucking alive!?"

Li Muhan was so scared that he took a step back. He thought it was just a doll costume. After all, Li Muhan didn't feel any aura on it.

I didn't expect it to move now. Could it be some high-tech thing?

"This is Ah Xiong, one of our members. He's a little different from other creatures. He was once a little bear in our circus, but unfortunately died young. His soul became so powerful that it attached itself to this doll costume."

Xingli said to Li Muhan while she tiptoed and touched the teddy bear's head.

"Gaoh! Gaoh!" The teddy bear also waved its hands, as if to show that it was very powerful.

"Oh my god, this is not a circus, it's the SCP Foundation..." Li Muhan couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't worry, Axiong is very strong, there will be no problem leaving it to him." Xingluo patted Li Muhan's shoulder and gave him a firm look.

"So cute..." Xia Yue also looked at the bear doll with surprise, but Xingli pulled Ah Xiong aside as if holding a grudge, deliberately keeping it away from Xia Yue, and even stuck out her tongue at Xia Yue.

In the end, everyone was assigned their own tasks, but there were still many local forces on the map that no one had dealt with.

"I'll take care of all these." Xia Yue gathered all the pieces of paper in front of her.

"Ah?! Are you crazy!?" Nightingale once again uttered her beautiful, high-pitched voice: "This, this is, this is no joke! No matter how strong you are, you can't take on so many enemies, right!?"

"......." Li Muhan also fell silent. Although Xia Yue was very strong, the number and strength of the enemies should not be underestimated.

Xia Yue took the lead and took out a ruby pendant from her arms. The pendant looked as scarlet as blood under the indoor light.

"...Hey, I don't remember this being..." Li Muhan suddenly remembered something after seeing the pendant. Wasn't this the gift Xia Luer had asked him to give to Xia Yue? He had thought it was just an ordinary gem pendant, but now that Xia Yue took it out, it seemed to hold other secrets.

"...This thing is called a blood gem. Although it still makes me very unhappy,...don't worry, I can handle these places."

Hearing Xia Yue's words, Li Muhan nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, but be sure to pay attention to safety."

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on the lonely piece of paper left on the map, and that was the existence that everyone feared.

"Xuanwu..." Li Muhan reached out and held the piece of paper in his hand.

"Leave it to me."

No one said a word. Even Nightingale swallowed her saliva because of the tense atmosphere, because everyone present knew what they would encounter when facing Xuanwu.

The four sacred beasts of China, no matter which one, are all terrifyingly powerful, and the Northern Black Tortoise is an important role in guarding the northern land of China, where the capital is located. Perhaps in terms of combat power, it is slightly inferior to the true form of the White Tiger, but its earth-shaking characteristics can make every alien standing in front of it tremble.

"Everyone!" Li Muhan broke the tense atmosphere. He suddenly jumped onto the table and said to everyone, "Now that we've decided, let's make a big scene! They want the Mask Gang! Let's give them a Mask Gang! They want to put an end to our Mask Gang this night, so let us, the Mask Gang, light up this night! Tonight! Pingjing City is ours! Get ready to party!"

......

At the same time, in a command center in Pingjing City, Shuo Bai was drinking tea while watching the busy staff below.

"Hehehe... I'm old and can't stay up all night anymore. Haven't you found those mice yet?"

Shuo Bai looked at a staff member and asked.

"Director Shuo, we can't mobilize the intelligence department, but please rest assured, we will be able to resolve this tonight."

"Hmm..." Shuo Bai put down the teacup slightly, and a cunning light emanated from his squinting eyes.

At this moment, another staff member came over with a cell phone: "Director Shuo, Director Lu is calling."

"This old man... he really has spies everywhere."

When Shuo Bai heard Lu Shan calling, he didn't seem panicked at all. Instead, he picked up the phone and said in a gentle tone, "Old man, what's the matter? Why are you still awake at this time of night and want to chat with me?"

"Old woman, we are all quite old now, why do you have to compete with a few youngsters?"

"Hehehe..." Shuo Bai gave a kind smile, but the words he said sent chills down one's spine: "I don't really like others touching my things, old man... These kids' hands are stretching too far. It's time to trim their nails."

"Old woman, listen to my advice and go to bed early. The Yunyin Chamber of Commerce is already strong enough. You single-handedly supported it and made a great contribution to the Special Management Bureau. But the Rinyue Church you founded afterwards is really a bit too much. You are greedy, old woman."

"Lu Shan, we don't interfere with each other. You should also know that the only way to maintain stability is deterrence. The Lingyue powder can greatly reduce the number of those alien species that are not contained. There is too much garbage, so it must be cleaned up. With the Lingyue powder, we can convert that garbage into energy. Isn't this a good thing?"

[Then how are you going to explain to Chang Yue? You've already made him lose one disciple, and now if you make him lose another...]

"Don't worry, old man, I'll handle this behind the scenes..."

Finally, Lu Shan sighed and said to Shuo Bai earnestly, "Old woman... there are some things that we old friends can't say, but I hope you can understand that a small move can affect the entire body. These youngsters may really make you fall."

Shuo Bai didn't continue to talk nonsense with Lu Shan. She hung up the phone. Since Lu Shan didn't warn her or order her to stop in the form of an order, it meant that this old man wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers.

Just as she raised her glass to savor the fragrant tea, the tranquility outside the window was broken by the sudden sound of fireworks launching into the sky.

She turned her head slightly, her gaze darting through the window into the distance. She saw a firework with a long tail, shooting up into the night sky like an upside-down meteor, instantly bursting into life against the pitch-black sky. The brilliant fireworks transformed into the pattern of a Prajna mask in the air, illuminating the entire sky.

"Shuo Ju! A mysterious figure wearing a mask was spotted at the West Street intersection!"

"Masked men appeared in Oriental Plaza!! A firefight is underway!"

"A masked figure has also appeared on Xishan Shengtai Road! Shuoju, Elizabeth has made contact with the enemy!"

"A large number of unidentified creatures have appeared on Nanping Road! The police have intervened!"

The alarms sounded one after another, and it seemed like a tense symphony was ringing in my ears.

Outside the window, fireworks bloomed continuously, and mask patterns intertwined in the night sky, making the night as bright as day.

Faced with this series of unexpected events, Shuo Bai appeared unperturbed. She took a sip of tea and said calmly, "The children are quite fiery... But how long can this fire last? I'll wait and see."
