Chapter 14 Comic Content
As the young man finished speaking, the scenery around him changed completely and they were already in another room.
[Acrobatics room? This is...】The magician looked at the place he had not entered since Hongtao's death.
There happened to be a full moon outside the window, and he couldn't help but be dazed.
The young man reached out and took the white porcelain from his hand, walked slowly to the window, turned around and asked.
[After you get your revenge, what are you going to do?] 】
The magician came back to his senses and said without hesitation: [Of course I will go find her. 】
[Hmm...] The young man nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what he agreed with. "Then I feel relieved."
【? 】
Before the magician could express his doubts, he placed the white porcelain on the windowsill where it could be illuminated by the moonlight.
The cool breeze at night extinguished the anxiety in my heart, and the emotions that had been unable to calm down stilled after I saw that illusory soul.
Hongtao's soul slowly condensed into shape, the dancer had a beautiful face and her long hair was scattered. She was wearing a white dress, floating in the air, gazing at her lover, as if he had never left, with nostalgia and sadness in her eyes.
[Long time no see…]
She sighed, leaned down and touched his face, trying to wipe away the tears that had fallen without her knowing.
The star-crossed lovers finally reunited.
——
The young man politely gave them private space to exchange their feelings, and the comic followed his perspective.
He just walked past the patrolling staff calmly, as if he was alone. No one noticed this stranger who was walking openly in the middle of the road, and some even subconsciously turned sideways to make way when they were about to be hit.
What is this operation? Ye Han had a look of “?” on his face, and he and the rest of the comments raised a question mark. She could already guess how bloody the supernatural power analysis posts on the forum would be.
"I was just crying over someone else's tragic love story, but this guy punched me in the face with his cool attitude (magician shocked.jpg)"
"Okay, the abilities currently predicted for new characters are not limited to space, illusion, functional, etc. Let's see who will come out on top! XD"
"Compared to the protagonists' sneaking in, the difference is too big. If a fight breaks out, there will be no fun, right? (Pray)"
"I love watching them fight, this kind of character is very attractive no matter if they are good or bad. Saha's second creation, Modo Modo!"
"If this kind of esper isn't in the government, then he could be in the union. But I really want to know what the new character's name is. The forum is full of people calling him 'B-ge-ge'!"
…
Lin Muyu and Si Yu'an were preparing to set the fire and arranging the environment to control the fire to prevent the entire circus from burning down.
The bag was well prepared, so of course there was no shortage of lighters. Lin Muyu threw it in. There were flammable materials and oil from the kitchen, and in an instant the fire ignited and the heat rushed directly into people's faces.
The two men had already chosen their escape route and quickly left the crime scene before anyone was attracted. They did not notice that there was someone silently watching the entire process from beginning to end.
The young man put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, leaned against the wall and stared at their backs for a few seconds, as if he found it funny and curled his eyes. He turned his gaze back to the increasingly fierce fire and remained in this position, lost in thought. The flickering flames were reflected in his eyes, flickering.
Without his relaxed demeanor and those frequently raised lips, his temperament revealed an underlying sense of alienation and depression.
He watched the fire start and go out, it was a farce, and he was an isolated spectator.
For some reason, Ye Han felt that he was a little sad.
[It’s almost time.] 】
The young man thought to himself, pulled his hand out, stood up, lazily stretched his solidified body, and walked briskly back to the room. On the way, he passed by the staff who were supervising the magicians and snapped his fingers. With the crisp sound, the expressions of those people froze, and then they dispersed in all directions as if they had received some orders.
The magician was the only one left in the circus room, and Red Heart had disappeared.
[It looks like you guys had a good chat.] 】
The magician was already looking towards the door. He pursed his lips when he heard these words, wanting to thank the young man. Although he didn't know what he wanted, he was sure that he had helped him.
I didn’t expect that Hong Tao had been with him all this time. It turned out that she forgave him the moment she learned the truth. That’s great. But my miserable appearance was seen...
[I'm sorry for misunderstanding you before, and thank you. If it weren't for you, I would probably be immersed in the nightmare of being hated by Red Heart until I die. 】
[We won't meet again, but before that, can you tell me your name? 】
The magician asked sincerely.
The young man raised his eyebrows in surprise, but did not refuse: [You have a strong sense of ritual. Of course, you can call me... Daytime. 】
[Daytime.] 】The magician shouted, and he put aside the heavy pressure of the past and smiled at the young man as if he was meeting a new friend, but the words he said were not quite like: [I know what you want to tell me. Although I don’t know the reason, you came back here... Actually, you came here to kill me. 】
The young man, or rather the daytime, deepened his smile, casually took out a folding fruit knife from his pocket, opened it neatly, and shook it at the magician, proving with his actions that his judgment was correct.
【yes. Since you guessed it, I won’t keep you in suspense. 】
The fruit knife was handed to the magician, who took it calmly: […I’ve only been apart from her for a few minutes and I’m already missing her. 】
With the sharp tip of the knife pointed at his heart, the man looked at the white porcelain under the moonlight and let go of the heavy past with relief. He welcomed the coming of death as if he were longing for a new life, to bring him to the embrace of his lover.
[With your talent, killing the leader is inevitable. When we first met, I had a strange feeling that you didn't belong here. You are very similar to those three people, but also different. 】
The tip of the knife pierced the suit.
[There are so many things in this world that are incomprehensible, and I won’t insist on guessing. Besides, I am already dying, so it would be great if I could repay this kindness. 】
The man's heart was torn apart by the sharp weapon, and he found that he did not feel any pain at all, but his physical strength began to rapidly drain away.
Goodbye, Bai Zhou, thank you. 】
He fell to his knees powerlessly, with a gentle smile on his face. It was a death without pain, as if it was just a simple sleepiness that made him close his eyes unconsciously and fall into a sweet dream.
He died.
After a moment of silence, the remaining person answered: […Goodbye. 】
There were footsteps coming here. Bai Zhou did not stop. He took a last look at the man on the ground and disappeared in an instant.
The next moment, the protagonists knocked on the door.
——
The fighting scenes in the comics are really exciting to watch, with everyone's abilities being used to their fullest potential, and the team's tacit understanding being displayed to the fullest, with no flaws left unexplored for attack.
"The author must have done his homework. Everyone's weapons are used professionally and are very pleasing to the eye, as if they were drawn on the spot."
“Indeed, but there’s no need for the captain’s transformation to be so detailed. My eyes are polluted!”
"Why are you so excited? I'm still immersed in the death of the magician (tears)"
"Where is the daytime? Where is the daytime standing to watch the protagonists fight to death????"
“I was watching openly, hahahahahaha”
"The magician and Red Heart are together, so the only hidden routes left are the two kids from the freak show and Nina. So, Bai Zhou's purpose in coming here is to help the protagonists complete the game perfectly? I'm really curious about his real purpose."
"I find it strange too. Is he really taking the growth mentor route? The high survival rate measured by the commander is probably because of him."
…
The battle was reaching its climax. The further it went, the easier it was for a single blow to decide life or death. Everyone was alert to the other's movements and stopped where they were at the same time.
The plan in Ye Yunhe's mind was revealed by bubbles, and he was preparing for the final battle.
There was a heated discussion in the barrage, and many people felt that it would not be that simple, as there was a Bai Zhou hiding behind and who had not appeared yet. Some people thought that the protagonist group's operations with great side effects would be stopped by Bai Zhou because they did not fit his current behavior; some people said that the protagonist group needed experience, and Bai Zhou should not stop them and let them continue fighting.
Sure enough, at this eagerly awaited moment, another person appeared.
In the picture, the protagonists and a monster heard a sound coming from afar and turned to look over.
The figure of the person slowly emerged in the picture. She was petite and wearing a dress.
It's Nina!
"..."
"?"
「OO」
"yeah?"
"ah?"
…
The scene changes to Nina's room fifteen minutes earlier in the comic.
The girl locked in the corner was still trembling slightly. The door was ordered to be locked, but because of the urgency of the time, no one noticed that something was wrong with her.
Bai Zhou looked at her for a moment, then reached out and patted Nina. As expected, he received fierce resistance. Even though there was no way to retreat, the girl kept pushing back.
[There’s really nothing I can do. It will be your turn to go on stage soon.] 】
With a helpless sigh, he placed his palm on the girl's head. The energy light generated by the activation of his supernatural power glowed slightly, controlling the emotions of those he touched. The violent resistance of his hands stopped, and the girl froze, like a small animal with its neck pinched.
[Don't be afraid, listen to me.] 】
Bai Ri gently held up Nina's tear-stained face. Her dark pupils were as bottomless as a black hole, attracting others' attention and making it impossible to escape. In a trance, her soul seemed to leave her body and her thoughts became silent. The supreme sense of security made her heart peaceful, making her want to sink deeper and deeper into the abyss.
I only heard him lower his voice, his tone seemed to be coaxing: [Are you disappointed with your father's behavior? Nina. 】
The girl stared at him blankly for a long time, then nodded.
The person in front of me smiled and looked very gentle, but every word he said was heartbreaking: [But he doesn't care about your pain at all, Nina. In his mind, you are just a tool to show his image. But you love him so sincerely and desire to receive equal love from him. It's really unfair. Aren't you always blaming him for this? 】
【! 】
Nina's eyes widened, her suppressed emotions resisting in vain, trying to escape from the source that was making her lose control, but she was easily stopped and could only continue to listen to the words that were analyzing her word by word.
[Didn't you ever think about stopping this, Nina? Their wailing and screaming, their panic-stricken eyes, just staring straight at you until they die without a breath... You clearly know how to make yourself feel better, why don't you do it? 】
[As long as you make up your mind, those illusions that have been tormenting you from now on and the wronged souls that have been lingering underground will no longer haunt you. Your father will also truly look at you, just like he did when you were a child. 】
Her senses gradually became confused and the voice faded away, but Nina could still hear every word clearly. It gently entangled her soul, stripping away her fear and anxiety, and magnifying her pain and anger.
Yes, why did my father become like this? When he was a child... everything was so beautiful.
[He taught you to be kind and well-behaved, and to be a good, obedient and sensible child, and you listened. But it's not fair that he himself committed the unforgivable sin. Why does he sleep peacefully every day while you, the innocent one, have been suffering because of his fault? 】
Yes, why... He clearly said that he would set an example, but he did something so inhumane. The father in my heart had died long ago. It was I who was blinded and was still begging a devil in human skin to change his mind.
[…You’ve made up your mind, right? Don't be afraid, just go for it, after tonight everything will be settled. 】
As the words fell, Nina's eyes cleared. She felt that she had never felt so good before. Finally, she had condensed from two fragmented individuals into a brand new person. Her heart was no longer confused, her thoughts were no longer chaotic, and she would no longer be influenced by external things or bound by her father's education.
She knew what she was going to do, and she should have done it a long time ago.
