Chapter 134 Carnival
"In the 30th season, V-61 zone adaptors Shi Sang and Shi Qing will enter the next competition venue in fifteen minutes.
Current competition points: 10, with points ranking conducted every quarter.
Please try your best to survive and win the game.
…
The house that seemed unfamiliar to me was decorated by Shi Qing when I was away. It was then that I discovered that he had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and then he stayed in the room with me for seven days.
Perhaps he noticed that I was in a bad mood, so he said he would take me to an interesting copy.
Then we came to this copy——
Season 30, Venue 02, Competition Theme: Carnival
This is the largest entertainment venue in overlapping space, and it has all the entertainment you can imagine.
It's the carnival season now. You can earn points for participating in all the events, and of course, you may die. Here you can get everything you want, points, props, currency...
Just be careful not to piss off the stationed administrators, they... really hate humans.
…
I don't know why, but when I heard the last sentence, I subconsciously had a bad feeling.
Then this premonition reached its peak when he saw Rose Head.
——Why is Rosehead serving dishes in a casino?!
Is she also working as some sexy dealer part time?
Aren’t you an instructor on the farm???
Perhaps my vision was too concrete, he turned around and walked towards me with a look of surprise.
"...Sangsang, long time no see, I missed you so much." He took out the plate in his hand and wanted to hand me a glass of champagne, but then paused and put it back.
My hands are stretched out.
"Be good, Sangsang, you can't drink this dirty stuff. I'll get you something else."
Very good, still that familiar smell, and then I watched Rose Head move gracefully at an inhuman speed, knocking away the people who blocked its way.
I looked at Shi Qing, who was being ignored. He smiled at me, "He's not stuck in a specific instance. Didn't he give you a rose hairpin? He can move around in any instance."
I understand.
This place is like a huge paradise. Just as it says, it has all kinds of entertainment. Shi Qing brought me to this casino, and I have reason to suspect that it was just to let me meet Rose Head.
Although these brothers are somewhat hostile to each other, Shi Qing seems to be the one who connects everyone.
——As expected of her shiny and bright skin, she has done a great job in preserving her appearance.
I looked around at the bustling casino and for the first time realized how many contestants there were in this world.
There is no time limit here. You can stay here as long as you want until you lose all your money, points, and even your life. However, in order to prevent malicious overstaying to escape the competition, after the seven-day rent-free period, you have to pay one hundred common currency for each additional day of stay. For many contestants, this price is enough to discourage them.
In this casino, someone loses everything almost every minute, and the waiters serving in the casino are all kinds of strange humanoid monsters.
In just five minutes, Rose Head was back in front of us. He was holding a plate covered with a dark red velvet cloth, on which was a crystal clear glass filled with orange-red liquid.
Then he made a "please" gesture to me.
I picked up the glass and took a sip.
The familiar taste is the juice of the chewy fruit - and it is definitely freshly squeezed chewy fruit, which takes no more than five minutes to be in this cup from the tree.
He wasn’t going to run back to the farm and pick one for me to make juice with, was he???
If it were anyone else, I wouldn't think this way, but this person is Rose Head, and I think he is fully capable of doing such a thing.
【Thank you for your hard work.】
Don't say thank you for your hard work in such a heavy tone, doesn't it make it seem like I've had a really hard time???
[It tastes great.]
I wrote this in my notebook.
Then the huge rose head of Rose Head seemed to be about to bloom, and his sharp teeth were seen again.
"Sangsang, let me show you around here."
His voice trembled slightly, and he once again ignored Shi Qing beside him.
Shi Qing: “…I’m still here.”
He said through gritted teeth, and Rose tilted her head and sneered, "It's carnival now, Sangsang can get enough points without you."
He looked at me again, "And look at how Sangsang has hidden her beautiful face in order to blend in with those damn humans. There's no benefit in being with you!"
Then Rose-Head put her hand on my face and rubbed it. I felt a little itchy on my face. "And by walking with me, he doesn't have to care about anyone's eyes."
I saw that my scattered hair had turned white.
It is very likely that the face has returned to normal. I don’t know what method Rose Head used.
Shi Qing stopped talking, and his face even looked a little ugly. I held his hand, took out the mask he had put on me at the beginning, and put it on his face.
Then she took a carnival headband from a passing waiter's tray and put it on his head.
[How about the three of us go together?]
Shi Qing laughed again, Rose Head paused, and snorted.
…
When we walked onto the main road, we found that many people were walking in one direction. Their direction was a theater. When they saw my gaze, two of them fell silent at the same time.
"Do you want to take Sangsang with you?"
Rose head asked when inclined.
Shi Qing: “…To be honest, I don’t really want to.”
Rose-head laughed again, "Then you'll probably be chopped off."
I:……
What riddles are you talking about!!!
Shi Qing sighed, pulled me back and started walking towards the theater.
It was a small street theater. The whole house was not big, and the side facing the audience was completely open. There was a sign hanging on it that read -
"The clown show will start in five minutes, and lucky audience members will receive a gift from the clown."
There are also two black and white clowns painted below, which looks both festive and scary.
There were a lot of people around, but no one dared to sit in the only seat in the first row.
I was a little confused and looked at the two people on my left and right.
"...because everyone who has sat in that seat is dead."
"That seat is also called the Clown Happy Chair. Anyone who sits on it will be strangled to death by the clowns."
Shi Qing said from the side, but there was a hint of helplessness in his words.
"...I heard there's a special bounty at Site 02—if you can escape from that chair alive, you'll receive a special reward."
The person next to me was telling other people about this anecdote. I looked at Rose Head and Shi Qing again. They were looking up at the sky and down at the earth, but not at me.
Because the two people behaved so strangely, my strange premonition came back again.
Then I saw someone sitting on it without paying any attention to the screams of others, and then laughing at others for being timid. Shi Qing turned his head away. There are always such idiots. There are always people who think they are the special ones.
Nothing happened to him. He was laughing and bragging to the people around him about how great he was, and then cursing some dirty words at the people around him. Suddenly, more people paid attention to him. I found that most people had mocking expressions on their faces, and no one showed any anger after being scolded by him.
It wasn't until he tried to stand up that I realized he couldn't.
He seemed to be glued to the chair, and then he realized something was wrong. The expression on his face changed from complacency to panic.
The opening time on the theater sign was also decreasing by the second.
When the countdown reached the last second, two hands, one on the left and one on the right, grabbed the neck of the person sitting on the chair.
The two hands, one black and one white, coordinated very well. As the music played from the theater speakers, the strong man was lifted up from the chair. Then two people dressed as clowns walked out from the shadows behind the chair. They each grabbed the man's neck with one hand, as if they were picking up a light puppet.
"Welcome to the Clown Theater—"
"We are the clowns that everyone likes~"
The two men spoke one by one, and the man in their hands had begun to turn blue in the face, his eyes bulged out, and he was foaming at the mouth, but the two clowns were obviously not going to let him go.
"Today, Jello's Happy Chair has welcomed another incorrect guest, so there's nothing we can do—" the white clown said with a smile, and the black clown took over the next sentence, "We can only dispose of the garbage in the right place."
Although they spoke with a smile, the cruelty and coldness in their voices were not concealed at all. The sound of bones breaking was clearly transmitted to the ears of every audience member through the clowns' microphones. Many contestants were scared and wanted to leave, but more of them started to get excited.
Many of these contestants who are accustomed to all kinds of deaths in the overlapping space will become fond of blood and violence. This is also a way to vent excessive psychological pressure.
The man's neck was broken, and then the clowns stuffed him into the narrow trash can next to him, forcibly and without regard for his size. A large amount of blood flowed all over the floor through the gap in the trash can.
The sound of bones and flesh breaking and twisting spread throughout the vicinity of the small theater.
Shi Qing even wanted to cover my eyes, but he felt that was a bit too exaggerated. His hands moved up and down until I touched his arm soothingly and he calmed down.
After the clowns dealt with the man, the trash can was pulled down by the clown's assistants, the little monsters. The blood that seeped out of the trash can left a long trail on the ground.
Then the clown turned his head, and two clowns with heavy makeup, one in black and one in white, one with only the left hand and the other with only the right hand, stared at the three of us at the same time.
That familiar feeling.
…
Wait a moment.
Could this be one of my brothers too?
I stared at Shi Qing with wide eyes. He nodded slightly as if he knew what I wanted to ask. I looked at Meiguitou again. He shrugged and said nothing, but it seemed like he had said everything.
The two clowns' eyes locked onto me precisely, and then the smiles on their faces disappeared. Then they looked at each other and laughed again, even louder than before.
They disappeared on the stage and appeared in front of us the next second. The people around them subconsciously gave up their seats.
Shi Qing rubbed his forehead, Rose Head straightened his formal suit and gloves, the two clowns looked left and right, forcibly pushed the two people on the left and right apart, and then each of them grabbed one of my hands.
…
No, Rose Head and Shi Qing did it on purpose, right? I don't believe you two can be pushed aside so easily!
You always say I'm the most important, but you're so quick to give in at a time like this, right?!
I know that no man is good.
【……】
[Host, have you seen anything strange recently? ]
"Jero's distinguished guest has arrived~"
"Everyone else, get out of the way of Jero~"
The two clowns jumped and pulled me forward. The others looked at us and consciously made way for us. Although they held my hands, they held them very loosely, as if they were afraid of hurting me if they held too tightly.
…
Isn't this just like any other brother?! Isn't he still doting on me?!
Even the two hands holding mine started to tremble, I don't know if it was out of nervousness or excitement.
I looked at the clowns on both sides who were not much taller than me, and held the hands of the two clowns with my backhand.
There are domineering CEOs every year. It’s about time for me, a person who has been a real CEO, to take the lead, right?
Then I saw the clowns' ears turned red.
——So the black and white you two painted weren’t made of oil paint?!
