So far, Cheng Shi knows that there are four members of the Jieshu team. Excluding the organizer Jieshu, the remaining members are:
Mo Shu, Zhao Xishi and Su Yida.
The scavenger was determined to die, and the historian and the master of tricks had long been buried. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, he would be doing a disservice to the fate of having food in his mouth.
So today, the team went through a round of personnel changes without Xie Shu's knowledge. Except for the organizer Xie Shu, the other three new members are:
Cheng Shi, Zhen Xin and Longjing.
Yes, Cheng Shi planned to use their identities to meet the fool hunter who "wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible". This was not for revenge, but for a plan that was gradually taking shape in his mind.
The plan doesn't have a name yet, but Cheng Shi knows that someone will give it a name the moment it's completed.
Although he was not sure whether Jie Shu's plan had changed during such a long period of time, and what state Mo Shu was in, it was foreseeable that no matter how this game was played, it would not be difficult for these three top liars.
It’s interesting to say that when the number of “insiders” in an organization far exceeds that of other members, who does the organization belong to?
Is it possible that the solution is the outsider?
We clowns are having a meeting, how did a [foolish] believer like you sneak in?
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi smiled knowingly.
But even though he expected it to be a lot of fun, he still had no idea about the plan.
But these are all things that will happen after the trial. The most urgent thing is to focus on the trial of [fraud] in front of us.
Cheng Shi was very curious about how Long Jing played the role of the master of tricks. Long Jing did not hide it and said that this was the [Memory] prop he got from the Dragon King, which could temporarily borrow the abilities of enemies he had fought against before.
Cheng Shi's eyes lit up and he asked him to take it out and have a look.
Longjing spread his hands and said he had run out of food.
Cheng Shi didn't believe a word of it. If it really ran out, how would you perform for the next four days?
But he also knew that it was difficult to pick up things from other people's pockets, so he could only "save the country in a roundabout way" and asked: "How did you blackmail them?"
Longjing's expression froze, and he didn't want to admit it.
In fact, he was blackmailing Li Jingming and he painted a rosy picture for him.
After killing Su Yida, he went to find the Dragon King and told him that he was about to infiltrate the Jieshu group, but he was still a little short of support. As long as the Dragon King gave his support, he was willing to share this memory exclusively with the Dragon King in the future.
Li Jingming thought the exchange was feasible and agreed to Longjing.
But now, Longjing's plan was interrupted by "his own people", and the interrupter even wanted him to join the other party's plan... If he shared his memory with the Dragon King, wouldn't he become a "well-known" clown again?
No, no!
For the sake of President Gong’s reputation, we have to default on our debt!
Longjing shut his mouth, as resolute as a righteous man who vowed to protect the interests of the Dragon King to the death.
Unfortunately, he was facing two shrewd liars. Without him saying anything, just by looking at his appearance, one could guess what kind of promise the acrobat had made.
Cheng Shi and Zhen Xin smiled at each other and decided to save some face for President Gong.
"President Gong, you arrived so long before us. What did you find?"
Long Jing didn't want to share this matter. Originally, this stage should have belonged to him, but now someone had interfered and his perfect farewell performance plan had long been ruined.
But I can't always not share. Who knows if these two unlucky things will do something to me?
Although he wasn't afraid of taking action, he was afraid of making a fool of himself. The unfortunate thing was that it was too easy to make a fool of himself in front of these two people...
So Long Jing accepted his fate and said weakly:
"Lake left secretly under the cover of night. I used the [Memory] tool to witness the scene of his departure.
He was very determined. Before leaving, he stood at the door of the circus for a long time. It was obvious that he was not going to come back. That's why I thought of replacing him and reversing the ending of the show.
I couldn't find any clues about his departure, and I couldn't figure out why a clown with such deep feelings for the circus would make such a choice.
The night he left, he was extremely nervous and even trembled when he walked. This was very illogical for a clown who performed on stage in front of audiences all year round, was accustomed to all kinds of scenes and was very good at controlling the situation.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is afraid of being discovered, but considering the confusion in his eyes, I am more inclined to believe that this behavior reflects his uneasiness about the unpredictable future!
Due to the limited range of the props, I didn't find where he stayed, but the direction he left was towards the city, which seemed like he had an appointment with someone.
I suspected he felt threatened because I saw a hint of fear in his eyes.”
As he spoke, Long Jing sat up straighter, and it was obvious that he was also very interested in Lake's disappearance.
Cheng Shi frowned and thought carefully. To make a clown decisively leave the career he loved most, leave his close friends and relatives, and leave the "home" he had worked hard for all his life, how much power must the other party have in his hands to do all this?
Cheng Shi thought for a moment and soon came up with an answer. At this time, Zhen Xin beside him also gave his own guess:
"The other party wants to destroy Ximu!
In order to protect the circus, the clown had to make a compromise."
Cheng Shi nodded. He thought so too. He sorted out all the possibilities and asked himself:
"The person who met with Lake is either very powerful and can easily decide Xi Mu's life or death; or he has something that can bring Xi Mu into disrepute.
If it was the former, there seemed no need for them to simply embarrass a clown, unless it was for some kind of ill-feeling that was not understood by others.
