Chapter 10 Nina Circus
Nina knew about it. I just don’t know how much I understand.
But she would only react when she heard relevant words, and seemed unaware of the situation at other times. Even so, she still suffered from anorexia due to psychological reasons and became extremely skinny.
Maybe schizophrenia? Could it be that the severe blow caused the brain to block that memory?
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder. When the patient is ill, he will have confused thinking, hallucinations and delusions, become depressed, and even have violent tendencies. By comparison, Nina should still be in the early stages of the disease.
But with such obvious symptoms, her father didn't even call a doctor to check it out?
Lin Muyu bent down, looked at the girl huddled in the corner, and gently called her name.
"Nina? Can you hear me? It's safe here. No one will hurt you."
The girl ignored him, immersed in her own illusions, fearing everything.
There was no way. There was a message coming from the field of vision that the team leader was about to finish the greetings and come back. It would be bad if he asked the staff if anyone had entered the deep part.
It’s a pity that I didn’t find out what Nina’s wish was. It would be easy if Xiaoye was here.
It would be difficult to blend in later. Forget it, the hidden route doesn’t have to be reached anyway, so just take it one step at a time.
Lin Muyu put the bow back on the dressing table and left quickly with Si and An.
The answer to the puzzle in the copy was found, and the next step was to go to the menagerie and set a fire to cause a riot.
———
The freak show had not yet ended. The group leader looked at the time and apologized to the people around him, saying that he had other things to do and would leave first. He told them to do as they pleased and go upstairs to rest if they were tired. The employees would serve them and solve their needs.
The guests nodded in understanding, and after the group leader left, they gathered in groups of three or four to chat and laugh.
Ye Yunhe paid attention to the movements of the two children, fearing that they would not be able to hold on and die.
After her observation, she found that they were a brother and sister. The elder sister's hair was longer, stuck together in clumps, covering her face and back like seaweed; the younger brother's hair was short, with bangs covering half of his face, making him look even thinner. He was terrified of these people who brought him pain, and he turned his head with difficulty to the side and snuggled into his sister's neck.
The elder sister looked more hostile. She noticed Ye Yunhe's long gaze and raised her head to glare at her even though she had no strength left. Her eyes were sinister and full of hatred. If she wasn't chained, she might have pounced on him and bit off a piece of her flesh.
Ye Yunhe turned his eyes away and stopped looking at them.
Finally, he got a chance. While the lights were dim and no one was paying attention, Ye Yunhe nimbly walked to the door, went back to his original room along the stairs, and breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know what the situation is over there, let's gather as soon as possible.
Unlike the usual situation where a staff member would refresh every few steps, this time she walked for a while without seeing a single NPC.
Ye Yunhe realized something was wrong and ran forward for a distance. He vaguely heard hurried and mixed footsteps and anxious shouts of "Water! Water!", and the smell of smoke was also in the air.
On Fire?
Her intuition told her that it was her teammates who did it, so she covered her mouth and nose and blended into the crowd, pretending to be desperate to put out the fire, but in fact she was helping, making the fire even worse.
Because he was wearing a staff uniform and hiding behind others, he was not discovered at all! Leaving others in horror at the uncontrollable fire.
Still, don't go too far. Seeing the employees becoming even more panicked, Ye Yunhe stopped what he was doing, otherwise it would be too ridiculous to burn himself to death.
Tsk tsk, look at these NPCs, their expressions are so vivid because they are scared.
The leader of the group was desperately directing with a loudspeaker in a safe area that was not affected. His throat was about to split. Looking at the burnt props and venue, his heart was broken. All I can say is that fortunately the material of the circus tent is fireproof and the source of the fire was discovered early, but the menagerie was definitely destroyed.
"Captain!! All the animals ran away!!!"
An employee stumbled over and shouted heartbreakingly.
"??!What!!?"
The head of the group completely lost his usual composure. He was in disbelief and fury, and his hand holding the trumpet was shaking.
Who is it? ! Which damn thing is targeting him? ? !
Magician? No, he was under strict supervision and staff were patrolling back and forth. How could he have the ability to do all this? ?
By the way, the person who reported today said that the magician met three tourists today. Did they cooperate?
Is this true? They did such a thing based on a few words from the magician. Are they stupid? They are causing trouble on my turf. They really don't want to live!
The circus was his life's work, and to hurt it was like rubbing him underfoot and spitting at him in mockery. Whoever did this would be hacked into pieces and put into a freak show as an exhibit!
The leader had a sinister look in his eyes. He stopped an employee and asked, "What is the magician doing now?"
"Captain, the magician entered the circus room alone thirty minutes ago and locked the door. He hasn't come out yet. Do you want us to force the door open?"
"Force it open and bring the person here." The leader sneered. He didn't believe the magician was innocent. It was not certain whether the person was still in the room. "Are you sure those three tourists have left?"
"The people monitoring them said they had already left, along with other tourists. One of them was a writer who came to collect materials, and many staff members reported being harassed. I guess they went to the magician to collect materials as well."
"That's not necessarily true. They look unusual, maybe they have sneaked in. How ridiculous, do they think they can change anything?" The team leader showed a weird, superior expression.
"First, have the patrol teams search the circus piece by piece. Once the fire is out, have everyone move together. I'll see where they hide. Remember, the office must be strictly guarded. If those documents are discovered, we'll all be dead."
"Okay, then does Miss Nina need to be arranged to go to the office?"
"…She's been acting strange lately. Maybe she knows something. Let's lock her in the house first, so she won't be taken hostage."
———
Behind this farce, there are two spectators who have been watching from beginning to end. They stood aside openly, watching the fire grow and the panicked crowd walking hurriedly around.
Because of some tricks, no one noticed that there were two new faces here.
Shi Xu regretted not having popcorn in his hand. The monotony didn't match such a scene. "This is the first time I've seen such a lively atmosphere. The main characters were chosen well. The show is first-rate."
"That was a carefully planned group of protagonists." The light ball holds a world line every day, "But I didn't expect that we were so idle. I thought we would be too busy to stand, but the show ended like this."
"Yeah, after all, I'm the one who's been busy all the time, and you just float there and watch me work hard."
Shi Xu glanced at the ball that was floating around and spoke without any hesitation, expressing his dissatisfaction indignantly.
"I haven't seen a fight between superpowers yet, so I'm a little curious. But I still have to go get Nina, and I hope it goes smoothly. At least I can see a little tail, so that my efforts along the way will not be in vain."
The light ball appeared confidently, proving himself by fulfilling his partner's wish: "If you want to see it, I'll project the screen for you. This world is full of people with special powers fighting. Feel free to change the channel."
"Oh - thank you very much."
"But..." The light ball hesitated, looking towards the leader in confusion, observing his expression and trying to analyze, "This man is really strange, does he love his daughter or not?"
Are you curious about this kind of question? But true.
Shi Xu pondered for a moment and looked like he was distracted.
In the end, he just curled his eyes happily and explained briefly: "That's not the level of love. But don't worry, I'm sure his end will not be what we expected."
———
Ye Yunhe met his teammates in a remote corner with a hint of pride on his face.
"I increased the intensity of the fire. It will probably take them some time to put it out."
Si Yu'an's eyes lit up: "Well done, Xiaoye, I've wanted to burn down the animal training ground for a long time."
Lin Muyu's eyes were also filled with smiles: "Well done. We went to find the magician, but he was not in the magic room."
The magician actually left the magic room? Then where else can he go?
"Acrobatics room!" the three said in unison.
The leader must have discovered that the secrets were diluted and started searching for them. The magician was on his watch list and would be arrested and controlled as well.
After the dungeon is cleared, an electronic voice will automatically appear, congratulating them in a calm tone for their survival, congratulating them on meeting the clearance conditions and looking forward to seeing them next time, which is really annoying.
The area outside the circus is also a dungeon activity space, and it is not certain whether the magician is one of the requirements for passing the level, so it is best not to let him fall into the hands of the leader. Although he seemed to want to commit suicide for love, maybe it wouldn't even require the three of them to do it, but it was not a good idea to pin your hopes of passing the level on others.
Those rich people are still in the freak show. By the time they realize something is wrong and come over, they can delay the leader for a while.
Ye Yunhe thought of spades and clubs and couldn't help pursing her lips.
The trio has been exposed to the captain's sight. In this case, let the storm come even more violently. They drew their weapons and attacked all the way forward, and started beating any staff members they saw, using violence to clear their way.
What a cautious and reckless team.
The patrol team lay peacefully on the side. They were originally planning to force the lock open, but three gangsters with weapons rushed out, who were more vicious than them and looked like villains. The system crashed for just one second, and the next second attacks rained down on them. As their heads were hit hard, they fell into a baby-like sleep with a buzzing sound on their crowns.
The three knocked on the door, telling the magician that it was safe and to open the door quickly, but there was no movement from inside.
Lin Muyu raised his long knife and chopped off the door handle with one stroke. Si and An followed closely behind, raising their powerful long legs and kicking hard. The impact made the door whimper. After a few more kicks, it fell peacefully to the ground, revealing the scene in the room.
"!"
The three people's pupils suddenly shrank and they looked at it in astonishment.
The magician knelt on the ground with his back to them, and the faint sound of dripping water could be heard regularly in the room.
Like a pantomime, with the loud noise of the door panels falling, the world was full of drama.
The magician hung his head, his hands fell limply at his sides, he had a smile on his face and looked relaxed. If you didn't see the knife stuck in his heart, you might think he was in a sweet dream. This contrast is full of sense of fragmentation.
He died where his lover died, and went to the underworld with her.
but why? The leader hasn't died completely yet, so why did the magician die? Was he killed? If it wasn't the captain who did it, then who did it? Why was he smiling? It was as if death could not bring him pain and having his heart pierced was a blessing. There was not a trace of pain on his face, but relief and satisfaction instead.
The three of them went forward with serious expressions to check.
The knife was just an ordinary fruit knife, and there was no clue at all. The magician's body was facing the window. He had just died and his blood was still warm, dripping onto the ground and forming a small pool of blood.
Only then did they discover that there was a white porcelain item on the window.
It was the previously broken porcelain, which was roughly glued together, barely in its original state, and placed right in the middle of the windowsill. There was a full moon in the sky, and the moonlight was pouring down. Even though there were hideous cracks on the porcelain, it somehow looked holy.
This scene is weird and absurd. A dead man is kneeling and smiling, high up is a piece of white porcelain that he once gave to his lover, and a ballet girl is frozen in her dance pose, all pure white, with her eyes closed and smiling, like an angel. Against the backdrop of this scene, even the moonlight seemed bleak.
