Chapter 334 Weird Circus
The performance kept pushing the atmosphere to a climax, but Li Muhan found that after Xia Yue's initial novelty wore off, her expression became more and more solemn.
"What's wrong?"
"...Those animals have a certain aura, just like the one I sensed just now, but they are indeed just ordinary animals."
Xia Yue's perception ability is stronger than Li Muhan's. Even after the realm is opened, Li Muhan's perception is still not as good as Xia Yue's. This may be the racial advantage of the vampires. But after hearing what Xia Yue said, Li Muhan also felt something was wrong.
That kind of smell should be acquired after being in contact with something for a long time. Could it be... that there is an alien in this circus?
In fact, there is nothing wrong with having weirdos. Li Muhan has met many weirdos who have their own jobs before. The guy who delivers takeout is very fast and is said to be a dog demon. The uncle named Ma Liao who unclogs the sewer is even more awesome. He wears a red hat and overalls. He is a monster living in the pipes and he does his job with ease.
No, if I say any more I will offend the strongest legal department in the Eastern Hemisphere.
So it’s not surprising that there are some weird people working in the circus.
But this strange aura... made Li Muhan and Xia Yue feel a little uncomfortable.
Just at this moment, the music stopped abruptly, and a host dressed as a magician suddenly appeared on the stage. He opened his arms and shouted loudly to the audience on all sides.
"Ladies and gentlemen!! Thank you for coming to the Nightingale Circus. I promise that tonight's performance will open your eyes!! Next! Let's look forward to tonight's main performer!"
"Here it comes! The grand finale of the Nightingale Circus."
"It's coming, it's coming! What a lucky day today! I heard some people book tickets for this show weeks in advance!"
Those who had looked it up online or had seen the Nightingale Circus performance began to get excited, including the couple sitting next to Li Muhan.
Li Muhan was also curious. What else could the circus offer that no other circus had? Would the nightingale sing? Would it dance? Would it be able to lean on the Iron Mountain?
"Today! The Nightingale Circus will also bring you a beautiful visual presentation!! Let's applaud and welcome today's star!! Miss Nightingale!!"
As the magician waved the scepter in his hand, a huge circular curtain slowly descended, covering the entire stage.
Then, the whole audience held their breath, as if waiting for something.
Soon, a melodious and pleasant singing came from behind the curtain.
The singing is ethereal and profound, making people feel as if they are in a silent forest, feeling endless desolation and sorrow. All of this combines to compose a beautiful song.
"Li Muhan..."
Xia Yue looked at the curtain, and then winked at Li Muhan.
Li Muhan also nodded. The moment the curtain appeared, they felt the breath of an alien. In other words, the one singing behind the curtain was an alien.
"It should be fine, right? After all, it's a legitimate circus performance, and this is Pingjing City, the territory of the Special Management Bureau. I guess they've registered it."
Li Muhan said to Xia Yue, and Xia Yue nodded without comment.
The singing continued, melodious and graceful. The curtain gradually rose, revealing a huge golden birdcage, and in the birdcage, a young girl was kneeling on the ground and singing.
But the moment they saw the girl, Li Muhan and Xia Yue's eyes revealed an indescribable anger.
The girl was indeed an alien. She had slender hands and feet and bird-like feathers, but she was tightly bound by several chains. The iron chain buckles directly pierced her wings, and blood and rust merged together.
Her eyes were covered with a black cloth, and a line of blood and tears was flowing from under the black cloth.
"What...what the hell is this?!"
Li Muhan couldn't help but let out a roar.
"Hey, hey! Brother, don't shout, don't shout. Miss Nightingale's singing is not something that everyone can hear. Hurry and sit down and enjoy it!"
The couple next to him saw Li Muhan stand up and gently pulled his sleeve, motioning him to sit down. The person behind Li Muhan also urged him dissatisfiedly: "Hurry up and sit down, do you have any manners?"
Li Muhan knew that in their eyes, this might be a kind of art, an exquisite performance.
But in the eyes of Li Muhan and Xia Yue, this is a kind of imprisonment, a kind of torture... The alien singing in the birdcage is not there voluntarily, but has been imprisoned here after suffering some kind of inhuman torture for people's enjoyment.
The melodious singing filled the entire tent, as if at this moment, people were not in a circus that brought laughter and joy.
But in a luxurious opera house.
A dark and quiet forest.
A mirror lake that reflects the vast galaxy.
Everything is interpreted by the girl's melodious and graceful singing.
Everyone was immersed in it, like a thin breeze slowly following the singing, entering this world called the caged bird.
But Xia Yue and Li Muhan had already clenched their fists.
After seeing the girl with wings and feathers all over her skin, they felt sad.
After hearing the girl's melodious voice convey something called a song, what they felt was despair.
And after seeing the chains that clasped the girl's wings and shoulder blades, they felt...
It's anger.
"I'll go save her."
Just as Xia Yue was about to rush off the stage, Li Muhan grabbed her.
"Wait, we don't know the other party's background, and there are too many people here, so we need to take a long-term approach."
Xia Yue looked at Li Muhan, and saw the same anger in his eyes, so she nodded: "What should we do?"
"I think this circus is very problematic. I'll sneak into their inner venue to see if there's anything else going on. You stay here and use the phone you just bought to record everything. It'll be like having evidence for the future."
"...But, but she is in pain now."
"I know, Xia Yue, don't worry, we will definitely save her."
Li Muhan patted Xia Yue's shoulder gently, then bent down and began to move slowly to the outside of the row of seats. He was complained by the audience along the way.
He could only apologize and speed up, and finally moved to the passage.
Fortunately, everyone is now attracted by the singing of the alien named Nightingale, and Li Muhan also activated the power of Baal's realm in a small range. Like a flash of lightning, he avoided everyone and entered the interior of the circus.
Along the way, he turned around and went through various offices and warehouses, but didn't find anything strange.
He stopped when he saw a door with an old copper lock, because he could feel that the unusual and alien aura he had sensed before came from here.
He stretched out his finger, a flash of lightning passed by, and the copper lock broke. Then Li Muhan pushed the door and entered the room.
The room was dim, without a trace of light, but the darkness was not a problem for Li Muhan.
While crouching down and moving towards the place where the breath came from, he took out his mobile phone and sent a video invitation to Lin Ziyu.
"Captain? What's going on? Are you in the bathroom? Is there a power outage? You don't have any toilet paper? Aren't you in Pingjing City? I can't bring you toilet paper from such a distance."
"Get lost, keep your voice down, I've discovered a criminal den!"
"Fuck, so awesome? Aren't you on a government-funded trip? What's going on? Have you been fooled by Director Chang again?"
"No! Listen to me, we saw an abused alien in a circus at Pingjing City's theme park. Now I've sneaked into the circus's lair and smelled a very strange scent."
Li Muhan was talking to Lin Ziyu as he walked forward. Suddenly, he saw a coffin standing upright in the deep corner of the room.
"What the hell! Captain! That's a coffin?! Are you sure you're not in a haunted house!?"
Through the light of the mobile phone, Lin Ziyu also saw the coffin.
Li Muhan swallowed his saliva. Damn it, this really felt like a haunted house. "Record everything I'm showing you now. Once I have the decisive evidence, I'll take action immediately!"
"Exciting, exciting! Captain! Great! I love this kind of action!"
Li Muhan ignored Lin Ziyu. He walked to the coffin and gently touched the wall of the coffin with his hand. A strange feeling immediately came from between his fingers.
He quickly retracted his hand, and at this moment, there was a sudden noise behind him.
Li Muhan quickly turned around and suddenly found a cat huddled at the door where he came from.
"Captain? What did you see?"
Lin Ziyu asked.
"It's just a cat. It's okay. I'm going to open the coffin and take a look." Li Muhan switched the camera to the front camera: "Remember, Ziyu, take a picture for me."
"...Oh, okay, I'll get right to it..." Lin Ziyu's voice suddenly became intermittent.
"Hello? Hello? Lin Ziyu?" Li Muhan saw the video start to freeze and became a little annoyed. "Damn it, is there no signal in here or what?"
"Team...Shuasha--Hou!!!"
Li Muhan discovered that Lin Ziyu's expression suddenly became terrified under the frozen screen.
"What? What did you say? No signal! How about I call you?"
“Team!! Rustle – Rustle – Team…!!… Rustle – Back!! Coffin!!”
"Huh? What? A coffin?"
Li Muhan seemed to understand what Lin Ziyu was going to say. He slowly turned around and found that the coffin that was closed just now was now open, and there was no one inside...
At this moment, a faint female voice came to his ears: "...Are you looking for me?"
