When this thought flashed through Dulan's mind, the roster under his hand turned to the next page.
As he expected, the names that followed were very vague and almost unrecognizable - the same was true for the next few pages. The only identifiable names in the entire circus were the six on the title page. The result was clear at a glance. This cleanup was hopeless.
The circus's mission target must be these six people. One of them, Dulan, has already met him, and the other five people don't know where they are hiding at this time.
Dulan felt a sense of crisis in his heart. The cheers from the audience at the front desk were getting louder and louder, which meant that the performance was about to reach its climax. After the climax, it would end. He threw away the roster in his hand and opened the record book.
Books about major historical events in the circus.
This book is also very old. Judging from the signature, it should be recorded by the leader Brad. From the initial establishment of the Circus of Despair to the joining of some important personnel, of course, it also records the background of Sonny the Clown.
——According to Brad's description, Sonny broke into the circus caravan on a snowy and windy night when he was desperate. He was still an immature teenager at that time. Brad pitied him for being homeless.
So he was given a job.
It is not difficult to see from some descriptive words on the side that the group leader Brad is very proud of his occasional acts of kindness. He also said that if he did not take in the child, Sonny would definitely be found freezing to death or starving to death somewhere.
There are so many garbage dumps in alleys.
The rest of the major events were of little interest to Duran. He turned the pages very quickly. As he went to the back, Brad's records became more concise and concise. At the beginning, it took him a full page to write about taking in Sonny.
The length of a page and a half often ended up in one sentence:
[Find a new sweeper]
[Jenny told me that she didn’t want to work anymore, but I wouldn’t be stupid enough to give up such a capable employee]
[The props for the decapitation magic show are broken again]
[Oh my god...how could this happen? I clearly told him that the props used to perform the decapitation magic were broken...Poor Sonny]
[The weather has become a bit cold, but the coal was delivered today. I don’t know why, even though the fireplace has been lit, there is still an unstoppable cold air coming in. Am I really getting old?
[I have a premonition that something will happen in the past two days...Some bad things...Amiya is very ill and she starts talking nonsense. Renee doesn't look good either. The small town of Sarnia
It was as if we were suddenly cut off from the world, we were abandoned, yes, the great Lord of the Morning had abandoned us. The streets were filled with thick fog, enough to kill. No, we can't just sit there and wait for death, we have to escape
Get out of this town】
[Haha, you should praise my skills. Not only did I modify the circus's inherent carriage, but I also stole three good horses from the stables of two businessmen. The food and water were enough for us to eat for half a month. We
You can totally leave this town]
…
At this point in the record, the entire book has been turned to the last page. Dulan was not sure what the scrawled sentence on the last page meant. He widened his eyes and read for a long time before vaguely recognizing the sentence.
It's three words:
【he came】
"Who? Who is here?" Dulan felt a chill all over his body. He couldn't help cursing a few words about the evil gates in the evil land in his heart. Every mission was so terrifying. He estimated that if he could survive more than a dozen
Task, his courage will definitely become ironclad.
He took a deep breath and closed the book. Combined with the performances that Duran had seen before, the cause of Sonny's death was already clear, but Duran was still a little confused. According to the records in this book, the small town of Sarnia seemed
Something unusual had happened - the fog was thick, the world was isolated, the people in the town were in panic all the time, some people got sick, and the leader Brad finally made the decision to escape from here.
Obviously, they did not succeed. If they had succeeded, the Supreme Council would not have assigned the task of [Cleaning up the Circus of Despair]. These people probably failed to escape the clutches of the evil spirits and somehow ended up back in the theater.
——In the end, it should have turned into a wraith.
Dulan reasoned carefully in his mind. At this moment, the suet candle suddenly trembled. Dulan was suddenly startled. He immediately held the oak thorn in his hand and looked around warily. Due to the power of gray iron today,
The number of uses has been used up, and Duran's combat effectiveness has actually been weakened a lot. He can only rely on high agility and close combat skills to fight with the enemy. After all, this fighting method is not as good as blinking behind the enemy.
Then it's safe and satisfying to kill him with one knife.
An overwhelming roar came from the front stage, and there was warm applause from the audience. At this moment, the clown Sonny's scream suddenly came from the stage: "Where is the audience? Where is the audience? Where is my audience! Du
Mr. Lan, where are you?"
"Oh, you are really not a qualified audience, young man." A soft voice suddenly sounded in the dressing room, sounding like a gentle woman.
However, when Duran heard this, he seemed to be even more nervous than when he heard Sonny the Clown's voice - because he looked around and saw no one at all! Where did this voice come from?
Nothing.
Dulan said cautiously: "It's not very polite to talk in the dark."
"In the dark? Can't you see me?" The woman chuckled. At this time, a rich voice came over: "Amiya, don't scare our distinguished guests. After being here for so long, it's not easy to
There’s a new face.”
Sweat was streaming down Dulan's forehead. How many people - or should we say ghosts - were hiding in this seemingly empty dressing room?
At this moment, Duran suddenly noticed that five of the six mirrors seemed to be slightly moving. He raised the suet candle with uncertainty - this candle still had half its weight, at least it could hold up in the reception.
Guarantee Dulan's life and safety within fifteen minutes.
Duran used the light of a candle to shine on one of the mirrors, and the figure in the mirror immediately let out a sharp howl: "Get that damn thing away from you, hurry up! Or I'm going to take out your heart, liver, spleen, and lungs!"
Dulan's face was as dark as water, and he directed the candlelight to the other mirrors - in each makeup mirror, there was a figure living. These people looked no different from ordinary people in appearance, but their eyes were cold and cold.
It's cold, it should be an evil spirit.
"Hey, Cassel, don't be so harsh to our guests. But Mr. Duran, the candle in your hand really makes us feel uncomfortable. Please don't face it directly at us." The person who said this was a man who looked like a man.
A gentle and polite middle-aged man, he stands in the most important mirror.
"Mr. Bullard?" Duran turned the candlelight away slightly and asked tentatively.
The middle-aged man showed a charming smile: "It's me, let me introduce you. I am Brad, the leader of the Circus of Despair. This lady is the animal trainer Amiya, who just told you
The one who yelled was the acrobat Cassel. The quiet lady was Renee, who was also good at various acrobatics. There was also Jenny, who was in charge of logistics."
Dulan's eyes swept through the mirrors one by one, and he remembered the faces of the five people in his mind. However, when he cast his eyes on the last mirror, there was nothing there.
"As you can see, there is another guy who is a little different from us. We can only live in the world in the mirror all day long and cannot leave places too far away from the mirror, but he is different. He can run around freely."
Brad smiled bitterly, straightened his collar, and actually stepped out of the mirror.
The other four people also walked out of the mirror one after another. Suddenly there were five more people in the originally narrow and quiet dressing room, which made Dulan feel a little uncomfortable.
"Sonny?" Duran knew that the owner of the last mirror should be the clown, but he was also a wraith. Why was Sonny different?
These five mission targets did not seem to be evil people. Dulan was still full of doubts in his heart - but he would not relax his vigilance because of this. After all, he had learned from the past - before the evil master Bei Long was discovered by Dulan.
, and also looked humble and polite. In the Bone Burial Village, anyone may take your life. Dulan knows this very well, and he will not believe everything the resentful spirits say.
Brad gave a wry smile: "Because the cause of his death is different from ours. So although he also uses the makeup mirror as his home, he does not have to be restrained - well, Mr. Duran, as a person for hundreds, maybe thousands of years
The first living person to see us, you are most welcome."
"However, after welcoming you, we should consider how to kill you..." Brad still had a charming smile on his face, but the words he spoke were so terrifying.
Duran took a step back, the candle in his hand burning shorter and shorter: "I don't understand, maybe we can talk."
Brad smiled exaggeratedly: "There's nothing I don't understand. This is an agreement between the living and the dead. You shouldn't break into our world, but now that you're here, you should become one of us. Don't expect it.
How long can the candle in your hand protect you? Although it can indeed restrict our actions, what is the meaning of ten minutes of life?"
"Damn it, are we really going to have a fight?" Dulan watched with some depression as the five evil spirits surrounded him. His visual inspection skills had already fed back the information of the five people. Except for the leader Brad, these five guys were silver.
Except for the peak level of about 28, the rest are all in the early twenties of the first stage of Silver. Although I have killed many shadow beasts in the shadow maze and my level has increased rapidly, there is still a certain gap between me and Silver.
What's more, the opponent still has a numerical advantage.
If you can work part-time as a [Rune Mage] and improve your level through the Thieves Training Base in the Tower of Shadows, let alone the enemies in front of you, even the gold-level master Duran will not take it seriously! It's a pity that he can't even take it seriously.
He failed to pass the shadow maze, so he could only temporarily escape to the evil place to survive.
"It's true that the front foot is out of the tiger's mouth and the back foot is in the wolf's den." Dulan sighed in his heart. He clenched the dagger in his hand and his eyes began to wander among the people.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the front desk: "Mr. Duran, Mr. Duran, where are you?"
Clown Sonny Duran sighed in his heart, he had one more enemy.
