Train to Moscow
The colorful circus is always filled with laughter and joy, and the cold wind makes the colorful flags on the big red tent flutter gracefully.
The giant dome tent stands tall in the center of the square, like a magnificent castle, which is even more charming under the night sky.
From the tent came the roars of various animals, the sound of horse hooves, and the laughter of the actors.
A figure was standing outside the Moonlight Charming Tent, his hands behind his back, his expression confused, and the corners of his mouth tense.
It was night time. Colorful lights were wrapped around the outside of the circus tent, finally hanging down to the ground. The figure was stepping on this line. After stepping on it for a while, Jiang Kexin felt annoyed. This feeling prompted him to kick forward hard. The sound of the kick startled the man behind him.
It turned out that there was someone behind Jiang Kexin. The figure looked like an adult. When he saw Jiang Kexin's somewhat childish movements.
He smiled lightly, then took the cigar out of his mouth. The half-burned cigar was thrown ruthlessly on the ground, and Stanf crushed it with his shoe almost nonchalantly.
Then he walked gracefully beside Jiang Kexin, put his arms around Jiang Kexin, as if hugging a lover gently but full of malice and desire. At the same time, he lowered his head, and his white wig rubbed against Jiang Kexin's face, and his slightly hot breath dyed Jiang Kexin's ears red.
Jiang Kexin heard Stanfu say to him.
"Okay, dear, you have just recovered. Stop running around. It won't help your recovery. Your body won't be able to take it. If you want to watch a circus performance, I will satisfy you. But, dear, not now." Stan chuckled. He stretched out his hand and let Jiang Kexin hold his as well. His meaning was very clear: go with him.
Jiang Kexin didn't move. He frowned and had a cold face and refused to move. He wanted to pass the level. He couldn't go on like this. Therefore, he was hesitating and betting on Stanf's tolerance for him.
When Stanford saw this, he looked at her as if he was looking at an ignorant child, with a doting look on his face. He turned his head to look into the distance, where there were stalls and some amusement facilities. Then he turned around and walked behind Jiang Kexin, stroking her hair with his white-gloved hands, stroking from her soft hair downwards, his tone sounding coaxing.
"Okay, come on, come back with me, dear, don't be angry. I know you like the hustle and bustle, but there will be another day of celebration after today. We have no shortage of celebrations here. Haven't you experienced this before? Hmm..."
Yes, Jiang experienced this. When he just woke up, he was in Stanford's room. Stanford took him to rest and listened to him say he wanted to go out with a smile.
So Stanford fulfilled his promise and took Jiang Kexin out, but Stanford took Jiang Kexin away when the next day was about to begin.
At that time, Jiang Kexin stood by the crowd and watched them move away. The amusement park became quiet, leaving only Stanford with a confident look on his face and Jiang Kexin who didn't understand what Stanford was going to do. But a minute later, Jiang Kexin understood what Stanford wanted to do, and those who left appeared again from a distance with smiles on their faces.
The celebration has begun again.
Stanfu smiled and said, "Look, how are you going to get out? You might be like us. Your appearance at the entrance of the amusement park and my rescue might be destiny. You are destined to belong to the amusement park. My Jiang, do you still want to get out now?"
Stanford's meaning was very clear. Jiang Kexin understood the implication. Even if he went out, he would come back again. If he couldn't find a solution, it would be better for him to stay where he was.
But this does not mean that Jiang Kexin has to accept this result. Jiang Kexin felt the other person's breath with a cold face. To be honest, he had to repeat it several times that he did not like the touch of strangers.
Jiang Kexin wanted to get rid of Stanford, but she knew she couldn't. If she still wanted to explore the secrets here safely, pass the level and go home, she couldn't easily reject this man. This man was an absolute leader and controller, and Jiang Kexin hated his control and leadership.
But no matter how disgusted he was, Jiang Kexin sighed. He knew what kind of unscrupulous person the man behind him was. If he wanted something, then that thing had to serve him. If not, he had other ways to force those things to satisfy and serve him. This was the conclusion he came to after just three days of being with him.
Especially Jiang Kexin did not trust him. No one would easily trust someone who smiled at him and said that he saved him after waking up, when his last thought before passing out was a monster.
"Don't be so bitter and vengeful, Jiang. Smile and come back with me. Be obedient. Do you really want to stay here with me until the circus is over? Is this really okay? Aren't you tired?" Stanford had medieval white curls on his head and wore a suit. He lowered his head and raised one hand elegantly. With a "click", he turned on the lighter. The flame jumped in the air and smoke filled the air.
Jiang Kexin ignored him and continued with a cold face, stepping on the rope on the ground with her foot.
Listening to the roar of the lions and the cheers of the audience in the circus, it was obvious that this was the destination of the crowd he had seen at the beginning. Moreover, this place looked very much like the clue, the grand amusement park in his dream. Unfortunately, his cell phone was taken away by Stan.
But he was now at a loss as to what to do. Everything that was happening was beyond his comprehension, including the strange black shadow of the recurring celebrations and the even stranger Tana, Ellisted, and their dice.
He also never understood what these things had to do with the Ascension Competition, and why the Ascension Competition chose this as the background.
Thinking of this, he wondered what was happening with Ellisted and Tana. He also didn't know why the shadowy figure had brought him here, and whether the shadowy figure was the one who claimed to have saved him. Jiang Kexin looked at Stanford suspiciously.
For Jiang Kexin, there are too many mysteries here, but he has no way to explore this strange place. Jiang Kexin is restrained by Stanford, and he has only left Stanford's room today and that time in the past three days.
"Jiang, are you listening?" Stanford waited for a long time without receiving an answer, and his gentle voice finally became cold and hard.
His feet tapped the ground heavily, making a rhythmic clicking sound.
"Whether you want to leave or not, I've given you plenty of time, Jiang. Don't try to ignore me. Why don't you reply to me?" Stanf sneered. He walked around twice with his hands behind his back. He could have just pulled the person away, but that was different. What he wanted was Jiang Kexin to show weakness on her own initiative.
He wanted Jiang Kexin's love, respect, awe and fear.
"Okay, okay, since you're not interested in going back, then there's something you might be very interested in. Three days ago, my guest came here and saw three strangers and a steam train crashed on the snow. I met you that day and rescued you. That's interesting, isn't it? We never have strangers coming here."
Stanford picked up the handkerchief and put it under his nose, sniffing the fragrance to calm his anger. Then he approached Jiang Kexin with great satisfaction and saw that Jiang Kexin's beautiful face was full of indifference and her pupils had shrunken.
The cheers from the circus grew quieter until people began pouring out, chatting with one another. They were all dressed in medieval formal attire, holding fans like the upper class. When they met Stanford, they folded their fans and saluted him: "Good evening, Earl Stanford."
"Good evening, ladies, please enjoy the National Day celebrations, it is our most beautiful day."
Finally, fewer and fewer people came out, until the boy with clown makeup ran out excitedly. He opened his arms and hugged Jiang Kexin who was still there.
"I missed you so much, Jiang."
——
Ellisted and Tana took a lot of time to find the final destination of the group that Jiang Kexin mentioned. Now they can only bet that Jiang Kexin was brought here.
They stood in front of the amusement park at night, looked at each other, and knew what was going on.
The copy takes place in an amusement park, and the train is at most an introduction, but this amusement park is exactly the same as the one they dreamed of in the background.
