The other side.
While Cheng Shi was having a unique heart-to-heart with the magician, Zhang Jizu, who was far away in Chenxi, also gained something.
He had been hiding in the actors' office area, collecting available information about the circus.
Compared with the long-standing Ximu, Chenxi's foundation is a little weaker, but this does not mean that the scale of the new forces will be smaller than the traditional forces. On the contrary, the circus park in the east of the city is larger and has more variety than that in the west of the city.
Their main focus is to replace the old with the new, which has attracted the attention of countless young people in this country.
The leader of Chenxi is a lady named Frode, who is one of the circus performers who once left Ximu. Coincidentally, she is also a clown.
It was she who founded Morning Hee with a group of enthusiastic young people, and within a few decades, she brought Morning Hee to the same level as Ximu.
During the years when Morning Hip was developing rapidly and she was at her most glorious, this courageous lady quietly stepped behind the scenes and chose her most preferred successor in the group, Maxford, to take over the position of clown and become the new pillar of Morning Hip.
With the two of them working together, Chenxi made great strides and broke into the national vision, becoming one of the circus twins of Kanriwal.
In the circus, people often talk about Mrs. Froude. They say that she is decisive and resolute in her actions. She is a strong woman with a passion for life and is very contagious to others.
Moreover, Frode and the young Maxford were both teachers and friends, and they had a good relationship. They would spend a long time together almost every day, but in recent days, they seemed to meet less frequently.
It's not that Frod is too busy, but that Maxford often hides behind the scenes to rehearse alone and doesn't see anyone. Perhaps Frod feels that the other party is under too much pressure, so he doesn't disturb him.
With the final showdown just around the corner, it makes sense for the Joker to work so hard.
But in Zhang Jizu's opinion, all this is still too unstable.
If any circus performer has a problem, he can be replaced by a backup act during the performance. But if a clown has a problem, it is hard to say whether the backup clown is as smart and can become the soul figure that connects the entire performance and impresses the audience.
To be honest, such a big circus failed to cultivate a second Maxford, which shows a failure in risk prevention.
Zhang Jizu narrowed his eyes and quietly evacuated from the actor's office area. He was going to go somewhere else.
But just as he was about to avoid the sight of all the actors and leave from the edge path, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
The person who came was not an NPC, but a player. However, Zhang Jizu never expected that one of the two teammates who disappeared in this game was actually her!
That's right, she.
This is a female player, and a very easy-to-identify one. Just by looking at her gradually green wolf-tail hair and her rather intriguing, flickering eyes, you can tell that this woman is not easy to mess with.
Poison, the chosen one of [Filth], is an evil that fascinates many players but also makes many players grit their teeth.
She was still wearing that extremely familiar outfit, a long-sleeved sweatshirt that tightly wrapped her upper body, with the hem covering her shorts, revealing only two long legs that were glowing white.
Her appearance made Zhang Jizu's eyes narrow into slits.
He had no objection to Du Yao, and there was no friction between them. Moreover, Du Yao had been his comrade-in-arms before, and had beaten Mo Shu together with him.
He just didn't understand why Du Yao would disappear and become a lone wolf in this situation, but come to him at this time.
But he soon saw why.
Duyao put his finger between his lips, smiled and said "hush", then rolled his eyes around, trying to fall into Zhang Jizu's arms, and said as he approached:
"Little Pastor, why haven't I seen you recently? Are you... deliberately avoiding me?"
Zhang Jizu immediately realized that the [Foul] Chosen One of God was not looking for him, but Cheng Shi!
She mistook herself for Cheng Shi.
That's right. According to the most basic logic, if one of the two Zhang ancestors is Cheng Shi, it is likely to be the one next to Hu Wei.
Du Yao understands desire best. She may not be able to understand Cheng Shi, but she can definitely understand the Grand Marshal, so she believed the Grand Marshal once and found "Cheng Shi".
However, Zhang Jizu was not Cheng Shi. Seeing that the poison was about to pour into his arms, he narrowed his eyes, took out the scalpel without hesitation, and pressed it against the place on his forehead where the poison was about to fall.
Du Yao paused her sideways movement and stopped straight on the tip of the knife. Her control over her body had reached an incredible level.
Then she opened her eyes again, looked at "Cheng Shi" and said pitifully:
"I'm so tired, can you lend me your shoulder to rest on for a moment?"
Zhang Jizu chuckled and shook his head:
“I don’t have shoulders, but there are plenty of vacant graves. If you really feel tired, perhaps sleeping in the ground can bring you complete relief.
How about it, Miss Poison?"
“???”
He is not Cheng Shi!
Du Yao was startled, and her leaning body immediately straightened up, just like a reversed pointer returning to its original position in an instant.
A hint of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly recovered and smiled meaningfully.
"You're willing to distract the Grand Marshal for the sake of the little priest. You and him... have a good relationship, don't you?"
Zhang Jizu also smiled:
"Not bad, but probably not as close as you and him."
Poison lowered her head shyly: "It's not as close as you think..."
"?"
When people are speechless, they will really be speechless, because you will never know whether the words spoken by the "filthy" believers in front of you are what you understand.
Zhang Jizu looked at the poison thoughtfully, and indeed saw the hard-to-conceal fatigue in her expression. He was very curious, how could such an evil person who played with desires and knew how to "flatter" other people's desires be so exhausted?
And it didn't look like the other party had survived a fierce battle, but rather had experienced something that was physically and mentally exhausting.
He waited for Duyao to ask something, but Duyao didn't say anything.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to, but she really has no other choice in front of Zhang Jizu.
She knew this Chosen One of Death. Apart from guarding his own small cemetery and surviving to the end, this player who "simply didn't want to die" had no other desires.
Although not wanting to die is also a desire, this desire can be self-sufficient thanks to Zhang's identity as a gravekeeper. In this way, her methods cannot be used on this player of "pure desire" at all.
She couldn't get anything out of Zhang Jizu by relying on the advantage of her faith, so she could only sigh and try to communicate with him in another way.
She looked at Zhang Jizu, squinted her eyes like a fox, and asked with a smile:
"You know the little priest is just a fool?"
"?"
Zhang Jiuzu's eyes narrowed again.
