Chapter 36 Performers (3) Jinjiang exclusively authorized the first release, protecting...
Annie looked embarrassed and tried to prepare herself mentally. Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable sense of grievance. She looked at her hand holding Liu's and subconsciously thought, "Why not let go... and find a smart partner."
but……
Annie didn't know what she wanted to say "but". In such a brief moment of hesitation, she had already given up the option of letting the other person be swallowed. She freed one hand and touched the surface of the multi-eyed monster. The red mucous membrane and capillaries began to heat up and swell as she touched it. The monster's eyes stopped rolling and stared at her hand.
Smells so good.
Smells good...
This mutated monster had a limited IQ. While it was attracted by Annie's gentle touch, the only thing left in its limited brain was - she had something softer and more intimate to touch, what was that? That is...
It loosened up unconsciously.
Annie gently touched its eyes and couldn't help but complain quickly in her heart: "You have no teeth but long eyelashes, baby, you are really unique." At the same time, taking advantage of its unpreparedness, she suddenly pulled out the stream with her left hand and threw it down, then picked up the huge, squirming body of the multi-eyed monster and threw it back into the cage without changing her expression or heartbeat.
How could such a slender body burst out with such shocking power?
The audience was stunned by her, and the floating comments on the screen stopped for a second.
It watched the hands moving away from it and subconsciously jumped out. Annie raised her knees and slammed the cage lid that had just been opened, pinching the loose cage lock.
The multi-eyed monster pounced on the cage, making a "swish swish" scream.
Ani was one of the few people who understood that the sound it made was a scream. Most of the audience thought it was a protest, but Ani guessed that the other party meant "I want to touch you again". She closed the cage again and said to it, "Be quiet, be quiet, be obedient, I will come to see you again."
The sound of licking the air stopped. It looked at Annie, with one part of its eyes forming a heart shape and the other part holding tears. It turned its head up and down in horror and made a pitiful expression.
...Why do I feel that this expression means it is pitiful?
Ani coughed lightly, feeling that she had shown too much concern for this mentally retarded creature. She shouldn't show pity for it just because it had no other tribesmen. She lowered her head and began to look at the other mentally handicapped person.
The mermaid fell to the ground, half of her body covered in some kind of diluted blood. His long light blue hair was stuck into clumps, and it seemed as if he was only breathing in but not out.
Ani kicked his leg with the tip of her shoe.
After a while, Liu slowly got up from the ground as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, with a wooden face and as if his soul had left his body.
"You..." Annie paused, took a deep breath, and corrected her words for the sake of her relationship with the teacher, saying, "You useless piece of shit."
Liu didn't say anything, his soul hadn't returned yet. The first thing the senior did was to lower his head and start vomiting. His stomach was empty, and he vomited out some of the bile. Then he coughed madly, with an expression of humiliation as if he had been defiled.
Arrogant mermaids are always like this, subconsciously looking down on other races.
Annie had also seen a similar expression on her teacher's face. But when the teacher endured the humiliation, she just frowned slightly and blamed her in a low and hoarse voice for being a nuisance and a troublemaker, asking her to be gentler... or begged her to be gentler.
Ani was absent-minded for a moment, then walked over and handed him a pack of wet wipes. This idiot was still acting stupid, so she tore open a wet towel and grabbed his hair, roughly wiping his face clean. She stared at him coldly, her voice harsh and cold, emitting ice chips: "I'll take you to take a bath. If you cause me trouble again, I'll kill you."
Liu didn't refute, so Annie assumed he understood. She picked up a new, unstained dancer's costume, walked out of the warehouse and asked Sister Li where she could take a shower. Li glanced at Liu behind her, chuckled, and pointed to the dormitory where the actors rested. "It's a shared dormitory. Is it okay? Why don't you live with me?"
She liked the new member, Ani, very much and was willing to make an exception.
"It's okay." Ani said.
When we arrived at the dormitory, the other beds were still empty. Annie threw the mermaid into the bathroom and reached out to silently count the beds. There were seventeen of them.
That is to say, there are seventeen new members, her competitors, colleagues, and hunters.
This obviously doesn't match the number of investments, so it seems that there is more than one circus. If you want to complete goal one and kill all the other hunters, it will obviously be a time-consuming and difficult task.
Goal 2: Solve the Joker virus? Tianqiong Technology has no way to deal with this virus.
Annie thought for a while, and the sound of water in the bathroom downstairs stopped.
She walked down, and the mermaid's silver-blue tail was reflected on the frosted glass of the bathroom. The shadow swayed, and the fish tail turned into a pair of straight legs. The door was opened a crack, and mist was thick, revealing only his coral ears, which were steamed by the hot mist and were flushed with pink.
"Are you there?" He clearly saw Annie standing there, and he called her tentatively, "Junior, please help me get my clothes."
Ani: "Oh? Junior." She stretched out her tone, "Junior - you're calling her junior now, idiot."
“…”
I don't know what was in his mind, but he didn't say a word.
Annie threw the clothes to him, and after a few minutes, Liu walked out of the bathroom with a dazed expression, as if the monster had swallowed half of his brain as well. His long hair was still wet and had a hint of heat and moisture as he sat opposite Ani.
Seems to have become a lot more honest.
This time, Ani didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Where is Lin working now? Just tell me the planetary coordinates."
"I don't know." Liu said, "I haven't contacted him for a long time. He seems to be sick. He stays in the institute all day and doesn't want to see anyone. Even my father is always rejected."
Get ill? Annie stopped thinking and thought of Lin's expression when he saw her off, as he had a cold and his eyes and nose were all red. She suddenly felt that it was quite reasonable for the teacher to be in poor health, and blurted out: "He can't even take good care of himself now."
This statement sounds a lot like blame.
Liu suddenly raised his head. They had a bad relationship as brothers and were not in harmony with each other. He should have gloated over the fact that Lin was abandoned by such a cold-blooded woman, but for some reason he couldn't laugh.
Ani quickly got back to the point: "I've thought about it. Goal 1 and Goal 2 are both unrealistic. In fact, the official only prepared a way for us to win by getting the best performance and first place. Did you hear what Sister Li said? Acrobats and dancers need to cooperate with each other to perform together. I hope you won't hinder my training progress."
"It's you who should stop dragging me down." Liu's competitive spirit is extremely strong.
"Okay." Ani nodded, her tone calm, "If you can't do it, I will help you."
-
This circus is called "Crown" and is one of the top ten circuses on the planet M359.
Except for the released hunters, everyone inside is an omnic. There are big problems with the cognition and logic of these intelligent machines.
For example, Li would point to a height of ten meters and say to her, "three meters."
Ani looked up and saw the rings in the air at different heights. She sighed softly and said, "If I fall down, I will get bruises all over my body."
Liu: "...It was broken into pieces here and there."
Sister Li excitedly told her, "Jump up from this platform, then go through these rings, there will be a ladder of flames below, and you can fly in."
Ani nodded without changing her expression, and turned back to ask Liu: "Senior, please translate for me."
Liu: "She told you to die."
Sister Li slapped him and said unhappily, "How can you talk like that? The flames are just props for the scene. The costumes will be sprayed with fireproof materials in advance. Then the animal trainers will come in, the music will start a duet, and the lions, tigers, etc. will perform below."
Liu shuddered when he heard the word "lion".
"You and the beast trainer have a coordinated alternation design." Li stretched out her hand and pulled out a virtual screen in the air. The omnics were so unreasonable. "Just like this."
Ani leaned over to take a look and saw that it was all garbled. She looked at Li, who was beaming with joy, and suddenly realized that they were sick. For the robotic race, it should be a serious mental illness.
"Go over and give her a high five, then interact with the little leopard, and then you can go down and rest." Li said, "The project is not difficult. As long as you cooperate well and complete it well, it will definitely be a complete success."
The chaotic data streams on the screen were graphically pasted together and interacted for a moment.
Ten days later is the circus's budding night, which is a regular performance for newcomers.
The budding night is to introduce new actors and actresses. On the annual carnival night, the audience will vote for the best performer.
Ani nodded, but before she could say anything, she saw another hunter in a tamer's outfit running wildly from the edge of the field with a look of fear on his face, followed by a dozen strange creatures.
“Aaaaaaah——!”
It went by like a trumpet.
As the creatures ran past, the tall and sexy Anne angrily swung the whip in her hand: "Stop right there! Stop right there! What are you afraid of? They are still babies!"
“Aaaaaaah——!!”
The horn went around again.
Ani tried her best to block out the noise over there and pointed at the fast-running speaker: "What if the trainer doesn't cooperate?"
Li thought she was talking about high-fives: "Oh, then just improvise."
Ani remembered this and turned to look at Liu.
The male dancer behind him was playing him a dance video, which was full of viruses, and a scary picture popped up after a while, and the dancer continued to talk with an "this is normal" look on his face.
Liu's expression changed again and again, and after watching the video, his face was paler than the ghost on the screen.
The first day of rehearsal.
Annie estimated the distance and felt that even if she fell, there would only be a "pop" sound. She jumped over without changing her expression, and the acrobat's flexible body landed steadily on the rings.
Sister Li's excited applause was heard from below.
And the cry of pain from spraining her ankle while wearing high heels on stage.
There is also the sound of smacking lips. Annie glanced over and saw a hunter in animal trainer's clothes with only half of his body exposed, while the other half was in the stomach of the "little leopard", eating it happily.
Anne lashed out with the whip with a sullen face, making loud cracking noises, but she only managed to save half of the thigh.
The voice of "Hunter-1" automatically sounded in Annie's mind.
Second day of rehearsal.
Annie has learned to jump lightly on the high-altitude rings, performing various fancy moves like a dragonfly skimming the water. Sister Li was so happy that she praised her endlessly and kissed her on the face several times.
The comments were so anxious that they were spinning in circles: "Do you know how to be an NPC? Let me be one too! I want to kiss Nini's face too!"
Liu's stiff body was severely scolded by the male dancer.
The clown group is practicing their comedy performance, and the animal taming group has lost one member today.
On the third day, Annie jumped into the fire with a calm face, not because of the fire-retardant paint that Sister Li mentioned, but because she firmly believed that she would not be ignited.
After all, she was soft and wet, and could turn into a pool of semi-liquid and extinguish the flame at any time and anywhere.
Li happily told her the history of the "Crown" Circus, saying that she wanted to help Ani restore its former glory. She smiled and nodded obediently, looking at Liu who would soon be training with her.
The mermaid's legs hurt so much that every step felt like walking on broken glass. He hugged his knees and said nothing. Ani saw that his fingers were trembling slightly as he pinched his legs.
It is a fish after all.
She said nothing, looking far ahead. The clown team was progressing normally, and the animal taming team, uh, members - 1-1-1...
Anne's face looked quite bad. She was mumbling something and frantically introducing to all the newcomers how cute and harmless her animals were, and said that these lions and tigers could become vegetarians!
The second half of the sentence was too abstract, causing Annie to fall into some strange contemplation. Liu, who was sitting next to her and rubbing his legs, didn't hear clearly and muttered, "What do you mean by eating humans to supplement vitamins?"
Ani suddenly laughed out loud.
Day 4, Day 5…
The progress of their collaboration was the fastest in the entire circus, and even the male dancer named Luo Feng looked much more relaxed. Luo Feng and Li stood by and chatted leisurely, checking the rhythm of the music and the progress of the performance. They could be said to be the two most relaxed mentors in the entire "Crown".
Furious Annie was scolding the newcomer again.
After each training session, Ani would help Liu with his lessons. The performance between the two involved a lot of close collaboration and interaction, and she didn't want the other party to influence the outcome of the performance.
It's in that warehouse that no one usually goes to. Annie skillfully held down his shoulders and pried open his straight, slender, and bruised legs, stretching the dancer's extremely tortured muscles again to help him get used to the pain of being pulled and pressed to the extreme.
The blue hair draped over the mermaid exudes a slightly warm and moist air. The soft little hairs at the roots of his forehead were soaked and had shiny beads of sweat on them. Every time Annie stretched his muscles, Liu would gasp in pain and shout at her hoarsely, "No, no more...ah..."
It was originally a scream, but Liu bit his lower lip hard in the middle, drowning out the scream and turning it into a muffled gasp.
The little mermaid did more than just come ashore.
The Little Mermaid is dying.
Annie didn't care how loud he screamed, she just wanted him to progress faster and not delay her. She grabbed the man's waist and dragged him over, turning his legs over and over, stretching and pressing them.
For the sake of his own competitive spirit, Liu had no choice but to cooperate with her. After completely relaxing his muscles, he slid down from the cold, hard pile of debris in the warehouse, trembling as he tried to breathe, his voice hoarse: "... Water... I want... I want to die."
Ani handed over a bottle.
But his wrists were also shaking. The circus training consumed a huge amount of physical strength even for a merman, not to mention that he was better at fighting and not good at dancing.
Without unscrewing the button, he subconsciously glanced at Annie.
Ani was touching the multi-eyed monster. When she felt the mermaid's gaze falling on her, she knew what he was going to do. She naturally took it and unscrewed the cap, but she didn't give it to him immediately. Instead, she suddenly remembered something: "I have a... healing potion? It can make your physical strength recover faster. Do you want to drink it?"
Liu looked at her suspiciously.
Ani reached into her pocket and pulled out a small bottle of pink slime.
"There's no label, and no instructions." Liu stared at her hand and said, "Who knows if it's a healing potion or an aphrodisiac."
Ani interrogated him with a scrutinizing look.
Liu's face suddenly became hot. He was actually being picked and stared at by her like he was buying vegetables in the market, and she clearly showed an expression that she felt it was not worth it.
A fire broke out in his heart.
What am I not worth? You're willing to chase after a useless guy like Lin, why are you showing me that expression? Am I not younger and prettier than he is?
He snatched the small bottle from her hand, drank it down with some water, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. Then he stood up and limped back to the dormitory because of the pain in his legs.
Ani: “……?”
What a fickle guy, man.
Her mucus does have a certain therapeutic effect, and the subsequent training process was obviously less painful. On the evening of the eighth day of training, Annie suddenly called everyone together, lit an electronic bonfire in an open-air venue, and held a meeting.
She distributed energy blocks to each omnic. While eating the energy blocks and drinking juice that sent electricity through them, she said in a heavy voice, "I have good news and bad news to announce."
Luo Feng: "I want to hear the bad news first."
A string of codes flashed through Anne's bionic eyes. She said, "...the newcomers in the animal training team have been completely wiped out."
Everyone: “…”
Because of the special circumstances, after other groups identified the actors to be trained as key actors, they sent almost all the others to Annie. This means she has at least ten new people at her disposal.
As soon as the words "annihilated" came out, the 170 in Annie's mind suddenly turned into 160, and this was just the loss of the "crown".
Li covered her face, Luo Feng's mouth twitched, and asked: "What's the good news?"
Anne perked up: "They are all full!"
Everyone: “………………”
The fierce and stern female animal trainer stretched out her hand, palm up, and said humbly to her colleagues, "Give me another one!"
Liu, who was sitting next to Ani, was a little dazed and whispered, "Is she looking for a new actor?"
Ani calmly grasped Liu's fingers to sharpen the pencil: "I want animal food."
-
The outer periphery of M359.
After the live broadcast of the hunting began, the "Angels" set up strict shielding devices near the planet, not allowing unrelated personnel to enter or leave. The shielding covered the two neighboring planets and only avoided the location of a branch of the Science Association.
This branch is located in a small human city that is not too prosperous.
Mo Wan could only stay here.
He couldn't get any closer.
He had given up everything, including his reason. After obtaining the coordinates, he traveled alone without any hesitation and headed towards the hunting ground where Lady Ani was.
The former Mo Wan would never have believed that he dared to run out alone.
He doesn't care what has become of Mon'en Star. He didn't care what trouble Imoris might bring upon him. He only looked in the direction of M359 every day, fixed the communicator in the Star Network live broadcast room, and only paid attention to Annie's perspective.
He hated "Angels".
When its camera moves past ambiguously, a lot of lustful words like those in erotic mood will float in the barrage. Mo Wan recognized his wife's charm. He looked at the praises, his nails digging into his flesh. The spider's blue blood was imprinted on his fingertips. He forced himself to be patient, repeatedly telling himself not to be jealous.
But in the end, he still wrote down the first name in his notes with trembling hands.
That was an account that had insulted Annie during the live broadcast.
Mo Wan followed the abusive account, and coincidentally, he was very close to the IP address of this person. So Mo Wan chatted with the man, got information from him, and finally killed him with his own hands.
It turns out that killing is so easy. Mo Wan thought so as he gently put down the body that was torn in half.
With the first one, there will be a second one.
He followed these people and wrote their names down in his notes. As Ani's traffic increased, the base became larger, and the number of people who spoke ill of her in the live broadcast room gradually increased. Mo Wan remembered them patiently, and would kill those who were closer, and those who were farther away would be killed sooner or later.
But his hatred did not dissipate at all.
Now, whenever he saw any male flirting with Lady Annie or heard those suggestive words, he felt a fire burning in his chest. His body, as a cold-blooded animal, was still very cold, but he was stuck, choked, and drowned by this fire. He could neither swallow nor spit out this endless jealousy.
Sometimes Mo Wan wanted to let someone go, but after a moment of trance, when he regained consciousness, he had already torn the person into pieces. When the notebook with the account number was opened again from the communicator, the name on it had been swallowed up by densely packed "Kill him".
He apologized to someone in his mind: "I'm sorry."
Mo Wan washed the blood off his hands, his mind feeling emptier than ever before. He murmured, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to be so fierce and vicious... I'm sorry, I should still be a virtuous man, I should still be..."
He closed his mouth, washed his fingers silently, and put on his black velvet gloves again.
Mo Wan knew that he was no longer a virtuous and gentle man, let alone a good lover who was obedient and docile and recognized by the Spider Clan. He was a little uneasy, stroking his wedding ring repeatedly, and then went into Annie's live broadcast room and watched for a long time, immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
When the "angel" zoomed in again, Mo Wan hated this undisciplined intelligent life, but at the same time, he stretched out his hand in a possessed manner, with his fingertips sinking under the dark robe.
He really wants to...
I really want to look at Ani-sama’s face… and touch myself.
Mo Wan's hands stayed stiffly on the pale skin. He knew he shouldn't do this... This was complete depravity, turning him into a lowly and dissolute male, but he couldn't control himself. The scene conveyed by the angel was too real. He missed her tentacles, her embrace, and her gentle head lowering to kiss his forehead.
The horrible courtship period made him lose all his appetite. Apart from love... or in other words, apart from having sex with her, there was nothing else in his mind. This kind of pain and emptiness could only make Mo Wan feel better by killing other males who coveted her.
Annie on the screen got into her bed in the dormitory to rest and pulled the curtains.
The angel didn't seem to have any intention of going in and infringing on the contestants' privacy, so Annie's exclusive perspective stopped here.
Mo Wan looked at it for a long time. He didn't even realize how obsessed and clingy his gaze was as he stared at the screen. When the live streaming platform reminded him to continue paying to watch, he came to his senses and picked up his list to look for his next target.
Halfway through, his attention was suddenly diverted by another scene. It was the back of a person with long dark blue hair, wearing a long white uniform, sitting on a bench on the street, with a live broadcast playing on the communicator. The reason that attracted Mo Wan was simple, it was the picture of Lady Ani taking a rest.
In this small human town, only the research institute is the largest, and researchers in white uniforms often come in and out.
Mo Wan couldn't help but walk over.
He stared at the screen for a long time, and unconsciously asked softly: "Do you... like her too?"
He didn't know what answer he was going to hear. The other party continued to watch while Ani-sama was taking a break, obviously a fan who supported her, but if this man said "like it", he couldn't control his desire to kill.
No looking.
...kill him.
It was like a drop of boiling water swaying back and forth, burning his sensitive heart. Then Mo Wan heard this person say:
"...No." The man covered his lips and coughed a few times, his voice was hoarse, "Who would like her?"
Mo Wan was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly felt that the voice was very familiar.
Sounds too familiar.
