Chapter 63 Carnival (5) Shi Yu will not admit his mistake, it is Bo...
The performances that the carnival arranged for Shi Yu and the others were indeed not serious ones.
It was one of Fei's guesses, darts.
"I think maybe we can add another performer?" As Fei pulled out a chair and sat down, Blueberry jumped onto his knees, wagging its furry tail. He did not miss this good opportunity and stroked the blue and gold tabby cat from time to time.
Fei propped his chin up with his free hand. His eyelids drooped lazily as he leisurely watched the clown's bizarre makeup being applied. "Don't newcomers need assistants for their performance? I'll help them."
"No," the person opposite him refused flatly. In between finishing his pre-stage preparations, he had time to add his reasons. "If it were you on stage, who do you think would be the main performer?"
Whether it is the audience's attention or the focus of the lights, Fei will undoubtedly become the only focus of the stage.
Fei picked up the new, untouched paintbrush on the table and twirled it casually between his fingers. He raised his eyes and said, "I forgot to tell you. I just wanted to let you know in advance because I was afraid you'd be scared when you saw me on stage."
After all, if Fei really decides to do something, probably no one can stop him.
"And who knows, it'll be a fantastic show." Fei handed the clown a brand new brush and jokingly said, "Do you want to start rumors that the carnival is bankrupt and can't afford to entertain the guests?"
A cold look was cast over, and the brush was finally taken by someone.
Fei went on stage as scheduled after the show officially started.
A huge turntable was placed in the center of the stage. A frightened young man was fixed to the red turntable. His mouth was tied with a black cloth so that he could not make any calls for help. He could only watch another person walk up to him.
Fei's outfit was not as formal as yesterday's, but rather more casual. He wore a white coat, and his outfit was rarely dominated by white, which made him look noble and cold. The silver layered necklace and earrings sparkled in the light.
It was completely inconsistent with the bloody theme of the carnival and didn't look like a performance at all.
[Sir, this is not a show venue. You've come to the wrong place. I know where it is. I'll take you there!]
Our carnival's pure white jasmine (x) husband is so charming, he's like an unshakable white moonlight. Are the audience secretly happy? I'm so envious.
[Brother Fei is described as a masterful person just for breathing, and everyone in and outside the comics falls in love with him without hesitation]
[Is no one paying attention to the little fish tied to the turntable? Brother Fei is indeed so handsome that he doesn't know what restraint is, but... well, I'm also fascinated by him, so forget it.]
[Great! Brother Fei is here! My baby won’t be used as a target for darts anymore.]
"Considering that traditional darts programs are too boring, we temporarily added some changes to the program."
Fei took a few steps forward, untied the straps that bound the young man, and led him back to the stage floor. Then he took off the black cloth on the young man's face and covered Shi Yu's eyes with a new black cloth.
Shi Yu's body was stiff, still in a state of panic. Out of trust in Fei, the young man showed no sign of resistance. He allowed the person behind him to hold his shoulders and then turn him to face the audience.
He felt something being stuffed into his hand. It was cold to the touch and seemed to be the playing cards Fei used in yesterday's performance.
"The new show will add more unknowns and a sense of participation. Your performance can also affect the show. The whole venue is part of the stage."
Fei lifted Shi Yu's arm. The young man was like a docile and clumsy puppet in his hand. Even if he was holding a gun and the person behind him asked him to pull the trigger, he had no choice but to do it.
"Our new actor will throw out this poker. Of course, even I'm not sure whether the card will turn into something else." Fei's fingers tapped lightly on Shi Yu's arm, as if to soothe the young man's tense nerves.
"Maybe it's a flower petal, or maybe it's a white dove." Fei's lips curled into a faint smile, which was accentuated by the red dye and looked particularly fake. "Or maybe it's a sharp blade."
It should be said that this was more of a gamble than a performance, Shi Yu thought slowly as he could not see anything. He felt that the audience probably would not participate, but in the next second he heard excited shouts that almost overturned the entire venue.
Shi Yu, who was unable to empathize, could never have imagined that these audiences who pursued entertainment to death would enjoy it even if they themselves were put in the gambling game.
"It seems that all the audience are looking forward to this performance. We certainly can't let them down." Fei tapped the skin of the young man's arm with his finger and whispered to Shi Yu, "Throw the cards in your hand."
Shi Yu had no idea what would happen next. He hesitated for a moment, and finally followed Fei's instructions and threw the poker card. The young man, who had lost his visual sense, could only hear the high-pitched shouting in his ears.
He couldn't tell whether this reaction was caused by panic. He raised his hand to tear off the black cloth covering his eyes, but Fei did not stop him.
Fortunately, Shi Yu did not see any bloodshed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fei slowly took off his white gloves, revealing a brand new deck of cards lying quietly in his palm. He gripped Shi Yu's shoulders, causing the cards in his hand to bend. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't move. I'll send you away."
After he said this, he distanced himself from Shi Yu and instructed people to stand at the edge of the stage. He turned over his palm and the cards in his hand had turned into sharp daggers. The audience, who had anticipated what he was going to do, became excited again.
"Stab him through the throat! Eyes!"
The audience below did not even hide their malice and were extremely hoping for a bloody scene. Shi Yu felt uneasy and his palms were soaked with cold sweat. He raised his eyes and met the tip of the knife in Fei's hand that was pointed at him.
He didn't move away and closed his eyes, not daring to look.
Barrages of bullets popped up in front of his eyes one after another, trying to block Shi Yu who was not far away, but Fei was so calm as if he was just playing an ordinary dart game in the club. He calmly adjusted the angle of the dagger until it was precise enough without any unnecessary deviation.
Then he threw the dagger.
The dagger left his hand and suddenly changed when it was only an inch away from the young man's eyes. Countless cards flew around, covering the figure at the edge of the stage.
By the time all the cards had fallen to the ground, the young man had long since vanished. The lone performer on the stage seemed oblivious. He politely asked the audience, "The dart game is over. Is there anything else you'd like to see?"
The performers originally scheduled for the show were sent to the single-person lounge backstage by him.
Shi Yu was still a little confused. He stood in the bright and spacious lounge with gorgeous decorations. For a moment, he didn't understand whether Fei wanted him to hide here like he did yesterday.
He waited for a long time but no one came in. It was past midnight, and Fei didn't show up even after the doll game started. Shi Yu, who had turned into a white puppy doll, hid under the dressing table, nervously staring at the door that was suddenly pushed open.
When a friend who was also a doll came in, Shi Yu finally felt relieved.
They waited in this place for a while, and only prepared to leave after everything was back to normal. Shi Yu was about to open the door when Wen Tingxu suddenly stopped him: "Don't go out yet, something's not right outside, it seems like there's something else."
But before he could finish his words, the dark liquid flowing out from the gap between the doors interrupted him unexpectedly. Shi Yu hurriedly stepped back. The sticky black fluid corroded the entire door, and the ground was inevitably eroded and dented.
A monster whose appearance could not be seen clearly appeared in their eyes. It could only be described as a vague black shadow, and black liquid kept dripping from around its body.
When Yu and Su Yang sensed the danger, they looked at each other, their brains working at high speed as they thought of ways to deal with the situation. However, the monster had no intention of giving them more time, and in a blink of an eye, the distance between them had become extremely close.
Su Yang clenched the silk thread tightly, ready to try to stop it no matter what. Just as she was about to switch her ability, the monster in front of her suddenly staggered a few times and then fell to the ground.
Shi Yu and Wen Tingxu, dumbfounded, turned their heads at the same time to look at Su Yang, the only main fighting force present.
Su Yang, who hadn't had time to make a move yet, said: "...It wasn't me."
"...Then who is this?" Shi Yu turned his head in confusion. He originally thought it might be Fei, but looking past the monster's body, he did not see him in the corridor. He only saw a harmless and cute light golden cat.
"Strange, there are normal kittens in the world of ghost stories?" Shi Yu was extremely surprised by the blue-gold tabby kitten without any abnormal features. He squatted down and tried to touch the kitten, but unfortunately the cat avoided his hand and jumped onto the cabinet next to him.
The blue-gold gradient cat swung its long tail, and the furry tail extended infinitely in an instant, slapping away the other monsters approaching at the end of the corridor, and then quickly returned to its original shape.
Shi Yu's hands froze in the air, and he was completely stunned.
The blue-gold tabby cat didn't bother to pay attention and lay on the cabinet, licking its fur. The exquisitely crafted pet nameplate flashed across his sight, but it caught Shi Yu's attention again.
"...Blue, Blueberry?" Shi Yu called out the blue-gold tabby's name in disbelief. When he stretched out his hand again, Blueberry did not dodge. The young man took out the nameplate and saw a beautiful crimson bow with a golden bell hanging on the collar.
The nameplate is hidden at the back, with the word "Blueberry" written in neat Chinese.
Shi Yu would not make a mistake, it was Bai Bei's handwriting.
"No...wasn't my brother sending you away? How did you end up in this ghost story?" Shi Yu's mind was in a mess. "My brother gave you to Fei?"
The completely wrong guess made Blueberry not even think of responding. It swung its tail speechlessly, wondering how could its younger brother be so stupid when Baibei was so smart.
Even his own brother couldn't recognize him, even though Bai Bei had changed his appearance.
Su Yang stood beside Shi Yu. She stroked the cat that had helped them and tilted her head curiously. "What's wrong? Have you seen this blue-gold tabby cat?"
"Um... yes." Shi Yu hesitated, not knowing how to explain. He thought for a while, and finally said, "It looks exactly like the cat my brother picked up and gave away before, and it has the same nameplate."
"My first reaction was that my brother gave it to Fei, but you also saw what happened just now. It should exist in the strange stories. But if that's the case, my brother...he has been exposed to strange stories for a long time?"
