A flash of light appeared, and Yuan Qingli noticed that the sky above her head had brightened, no longer the dark clouds that had hung there before.
She was lying on the lawn, with the lake not far away.
So you came back after all.
Enjoying the peace and convenience that this identity brought her, she didn't know how much time had passed.
Maybe it was two weeks, maybe it was half a year, Yuan Qingli couldn't remember.
The only sounds were the occasional low growls, clamor, and complaints of the animals.
She began to slowly understand Hua Lulu's helplessness, which lingered in her mind day and night.
As time went by, she became increasingly closer to becoming a national treasure.
Looking at her reflection in the lake, Yuan Qingli tucked another rose into her hair.
A row of withered wooden hairpins had appeared in her hair, the ones that were used to insert roses every month.
In the circus where day and night seemed to know no bounds, Yuan Qingli wore a rose in her hair every month. By this time, she had fourteen wooden hairpins.
With a sigh, Yuan Qingli stood up.
The light blue cheongsam clung to her body, outlining her perfect curves. The collar of the cheongsam was inlaid with delicate embroidery and sequins, shimmering with a faint light.
"We have new customers again."
...
The Other Shore Circus welcomes wave after wave of new players.
This instance has become a true test of players' talent and courage, and also a starting point for new players.
Soon, another group of people appeared out of nowhere at the entrance of the circus.
People looked around, bewildered, clearly not understanding why they had suddenly appeared there.
Those who knew the situation thought for a moment, then their eyes widened in horror.
"I know why people disappear or die for no reason, just like us now, we've been summoned to this place!"
"I worked overtime until 3 a.m., scanned the bikes, and just wanted to go home and get a good night's sleep. Why me? Why..."
"No matter why you came in, as long as you participate in the game and win, that's all that matters, right?"
"Chirp, squeak, chirp, squeak."
The rubber-soled shoes made an unpleasant sound as they rubbed against the floor.
Everyone turned to look in the direction from which the sound came.
The iron gate opened, revealing a tall, muscular figure.
He didn't walk fast, but his strides were unusually long.
He appeared in everyone's sight in just a few steps.
What is that?
"Judging from his clothes, he looks like a butcher..."
"What kind of butcher is this? This is a giant!"
After the first person was cleaved in two by the butcher's axe, everyone else belatedly realized what was happening and screamed in terror.
"Show your ticket! Only those with tickets can enter!"
"The butcher won't attack you once he sees the ticket. Hurry up and hand it over!"
"Tickets?! Oh no, where are my tickets?"
"No, don't take my ticket, boohoo..."
"Tick-tock...tick-tock..."
Blood dripped from the butcher's axe, forming streaks of bright red blood that flowed into the shallow furrows dug by the axe.
"No ticket? Kill him, kill him..." The harsh tone, coupled with the butcher's cold eyes, sent chills down one's spine.
Behind him, players who had been cut in half lay scattered on the ground.
...
Animal training park.
As Yuan Qingli finished eating the last red fruit, a voice she had heard hundreds of times echoed in her mind.
The "Other Shore Circus" instance is now officially open. Staff, please be prepared and give yourselves the best possible performance!
Yuan Qingli looked at the players running from afar, enjoying the fear on their faces.
"welcome."

The End.
