Chapter 56 Fantasy Circus (6) Lucky Guy
"Let's welcome these two lucky viewers!"
The light stayed on the two people, and there was warm cheering in the circus. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at Tan Yue and Shen Lan, making them seem like big stars on the stage.
But Shen Lan didn't want this kind of audience at all. She moved her mouth, wanting to say something? But because of the fear imposed on her, she felt as if her lips and teeth were still glued together, and she couldn't open her mouth to refuse.
As the chosen one, as the "lucky one" being stared at by so many pairs of terrifying eyes, who knows if the consequence of refusing will be immediate death.
Tan Yue obviously had no such concerns. He was very unhappy about being chosen to perform: "The ticket did not require the audience to cooperate with the performance."
He said, "I refuse."
"He refused!" "How dare he refuse?!"
The thick malice enveloped Tan Yue like a tide, and Chen Lan could even see the concrete black air approaching Tan Yue.
She was glad that she didn't refuse, but at the same time, she felt a tingling sensation on her scalp as she mentioned Tan Yue.
"Change your words!" She urged him silently, but they were so far away and Tan Yue didn't even look at her, so he definitely couldn't read her lips.
Tan Yue remained mentally stable despite the malicious attack. He was fine, but something happened to the chosen person. The lighting engineer collapsed to the ground in the backstage.
But it stood up again firmly and refused to change!
“Pah…”
The weirdness of selecting people is that the person himself is a ghost living in the light, and the lighting artist who controls it is the puppet.
The host said awkwardly: "Since this audience member is unwilling to cooperate, let's choose someone again."
Shen Lan watched this scene with joy. If Tan Yue could change, could she also change?
However, the second time the light fell on Tan Yue again, her eyes suddenly dimmed.
At this time, a white dove flew over, with a note saying: "Promise to cooperate."
Every human visitor who attends the Fantasy Circus will be selected to participate in the project as long as they can create an interactive segment.
Today's unlucky people are also lucky people in a sense.
If I don't participate in this performance, I will participate in other performances. Compared with other projects, this project is actually more controllable.
The more activities you participate in, the more hidden benefits you will get. Of course, the greater the benefits, the higher the risks.
As long as the mountain is there, it will make the risk disappear into thin air, so it is pure profit with no risk.
Tan Yue then relaxed and agreed to cooperate. He didn't trust the circus, he just trusted Mr. Rabbit, and since Mr. Rabbit asked him to cooperate, he just cooperated.
But when he was on the stage, he said again: "We are just audience members, not actors, and we require high-altitude protective equipment."
When traveling on a cruise ship, even if there is no risk, according to regulations, life jackets must be provided to tourists. The premise for his willingness to cooperate is that the circus must be standardized.
"What's wrong with this guest? Why is he so troublesome?"
"He is a guest in the VIP area!"
"His request was legal and compliant."
There was nothing wrong with Tan Yue's request, but most humans were already scared when they were selected. If there were no humans in the circus and they were selecting local audiences, they would deliberately choose those audiences who could fly to cooperate.
As long as there are humans present, they will be given priority. If not Shen Lan and the others, then other humans.
The circus is not just populated by the six members of the production team. There are about a thousand humans among the 10,000 spectators, a large number of whom are pets brought by the townspeople, i.e., the "children".
As we all know, neither children nor pets have the right to make their own choices, and their guardians will never refuse an invitation from the circus.
Even without a guardian, the selected humans would never refuse the program team's request. They don't have the courage to do so.
The circus people reluctantly helped Tan Yue put on protective measures. Seeing this, Shen Lan quickly said, "I want one too!"
She finally spoke, and her voice was normal. She didn't really become a mute.
Tan Yue has helped to this extent. If she still doesn't know how to learn and imitate, there is no need for her to stay here any longer. She could just find a rope and hang herself and wait to die.
With the protective measures in place, regardless of whether they were true or false, Shen Lan felt much more at ease, his mental state became more stable, and the pressure that was like a mountain pressing on him seemed to have been alleviated a lot.
Two acrobats start to "push the box"
Tan Yue and Shen Lan are the boxes they are going to push in the sky.
There will be many thrilling parts, such as pretending to drop the "box" by mistake, which will leave them hanging in the air and play various tricks on the partners.
The two working together are like being at the two ends of a scale, one going up while the other going down. When one person is in danger and the other is in a safe state, they will be eager to exchange positions.
The ugly appearance of human beings in panic, the jealousy and relief, and the complex emotions that change from time to time... are the magic weapons of the circus to make the audience laugh.
But Tan Yue's emotions were too stable, and his expression hadn't changed much since he went upstairs.
After all, he could feel that his protective measures were very solid. Even if he was pushed off the wire, he would be hung there and could find his way back to the wire with his own abilities.
Although he had never walked on a tightrope, his balance ability was very good. If he really couldn't do it, he would break the tightrope. The tightrope was several hundred meters long, and he would slowly fall to the ground while pulling on the tightrope.
Tan Yue's mentality was extremely stable, and his expression did not change much. When he was not smiling, he looked very cold. He was obviously a toy being played with, but he was high above everyone else, like a king looking down on the audience.
The audience couldn't stand it anymore. They felt like they were being mocked. They were sitting in the audience, but they were the clowns in those cold eyes: "Pull it up, pull it up!"
The high-altitude box-pushing show ended quickly amid the boos of the audience. When the whole person was put on the ground, Shen Lan's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground like cotton. Tan Yue helped her up: "Are you okay?"
Shen Lan nodded, and nodded with lingering fear: "It's okay."
Although it was very thrilling at high altitudes, she was safe in the end. If she could escape this time, she would definitely push hard to ban circuses and cancel animal performances!
Considering that disbanding the circus may create victims again, the animals and acrobats must also be properly resettled. This is a huge project and we cannot be impatient. We must go back and think about it slowly.
The main thing is that you can't get out now. If you keep indulging yourself in the horror atmosphere created by the circus, your sanity value will continue to drop. When it drops to a certain level, you will become a madman.
If you really go crazy, you may not be able to return to reality even if the channel is opened.
An hour had passed since the second event ended, and there were several regular circus performances that followed.
Each column requires the audience to come forward and cooperate, which is actually a torture.
One of the magic tricks is to put people into a box with grids, chop them into several pieces, and then close them again.
But how could the performance of the Fantasy Circus be based on sheer illusion? The people were really broken into pieces, because the circus performers bowed to the audience and apologized: "Sorry, we made a mistake today."
In the rest of today’s show, the people around Shen Lan were not selected, but those who were selected were obviously also human.
Gao Mei asked Shen Lan: "Captain Shen, are those people also human like us?"
Shen Lan's expression was livid, and he clenched his fists tightly: "It should be."
They haven't worked out the mechanism for pulling people in from the other world, they just know that most of the time it's a random selection.
Some of these people may be people who originally lived in the other world, but in the other world, they were not treated as humans, but as pets, food, or food reserves.
Just like humans raise poultry and livestock, the strange animals in the other world will also raise humans, allowing them to reproduce and thrive, so that there will be a constant supply of food.
Shen Lan had never felt so powerless before, but at this moment she could only be a quiet and obedient spectator.
At the end of the time, the host Xiao Ting said: "It was just a failed magic show, an imitation of a successful one by a clumsy one, just to make everyone laugh. Your smile is the best compliment to our circus."
Xiao Ting paused and said, "Next is our last show of the night. The one who will appear is the greatest magician of our Fantasy Circus, David Sher! During the seven days in Animal Town, David Sher will bring everyone a wonderful magic show every day."
Finally it was the last show of the evening and the human audience breathed a sigh of relief.
In the VIP audience seats, Tan Yue, who had returned safely to his seat, sat upright. He adjusted the height of the telescope and aimed his camera equipment at the stage to shoot.
As a great magician, his appearance was certainly not as simple as before. Thousands of pigeons flew over from all directions of the stage and then pieced together to form a giant rabbit several meters high.
"Snap." The rabbit giant raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, and Mr. Rabbit in normal appearance appeared in the middle of the stage.
"David Sher!" "David Sher!"
The moment the star magician appeared on the stage, a huge wave of cheers rang out, with everyone shouting his name.
Tan Yue also stood up excitedly and clapped his hands loudly.
Chen Lan and the others had been looking at Tan Yue from time to time, and now they all stood up and applauded with him.
"Today, the great magician will perform a magic trick to transform a living person!"
The host Xiao Ting said: "Our great magician needs an audience to cooperate with him."
"Choose me, choose me!" As expected of a star magician, Shen Lan and her friends discovered that this time many residents of the surrounding animal towns were calling on the circus to choose them.
The light hit everyone's face, and all the animals looked very excited. Obviously, cooperating with the great magician's performance was something they could brag about in the future.
They didn't say anything. Weird won't die, but they will die. It's better for the audience to choose Weird. If this is the last column today, then today's danger should be over.
Shen Lan breathed a sigh of relief, but they couldn't completely relax until they successfully left.
The lights flickered to the sound of music, and finally, in full view of everyone, Tan Yue in the VIP seat was chosen again.
