Felin and Julie went to the theater manager to inquire about the circus schedule.
Allen stayed at the performance venue, which was decorated in a childish way, and looked at the equipment discarded at the venue.
See if you can find any suspicious traces.
There is a wooden box on the ticket counter.
It seems that the circus left in a hurry and forgot to take away the props.
Allen felt familiar at first sight.
Walk over and take a closer look.
On the box, there are colorful lottery advertisements.
Only customers under 16 years old can be drawn once with their tickets.
The winner gets a lollipop.
There is a hole dug in the lid of the wooden box, only one hand can be put in, and it is specially used for drawing prizes.
In the box, there are some small slips of paper, which are lottery tickets.
Allen tried to reach in and grab the note, but suddenly felt a slight tingling on the back of his hand.
There seems to be a burr on one side of the hole.
When I opened the cover and looked carefully, it turned out that it was not a burr, but a blood collection needle taped to the inside of the cover, and a circlip was used to control the expansion and contraction.
Children reach in to grab the prize, and if they are not careful, the back of their hand will be pricked.
It's like being bitten by a mosquito and you won't care.
Before I knew it, my blood was drawn.
What do you want to do by designing such an exquisite device to collect blood from children?
The answer is obvious.
The purpose of collecting blood in this way is to detect whether the lottery winner has warlock blood.
Children who are found to have warlock blood and have average qualifications will become targets of kidnapping.
Allen looked around the counter.
I found a few lollipop wrappers as expected.
Pick it up and check it out one by one.
Seven candy wrappers, six of which were unresponsive.
Only a piece of candy wrapper detected a slight toxin.
Not bad!
Allen is too familiar with this smell.
Isn’t it daturaline?!
He almost fainted after eating this kind of candy.
Allen picked up the lottery box and candy wrappers, went back to find the Griffin siblings, and showed them the evidence of crime left by the traffickers.
After briefly explaining his reasoning, the siblings were convinced by him.
The three of them immediately left the theater and headed to the airport as quickly as possible!
Felin has already asked the theater manager.
Surprise Circus, all nine people.
Includes eight actors: puppeteer, strongman, magician, snake charmer, knife thrower, ventriloquist, clown, and animal trainer.
And their leader, a man named Ethan.
We will leave Griffin Island on the Griffin Airship at seven o'clock this evening!
It is already 6:50, and there are only ten minutes left before the airship sets sail.
Even if siblings Allen and Griffin had wings, they wouldn't have time to fly to the airport.
Fortunately, Julie was calm enough. She immediately took out her communication book and sent a "message" to the airport officials based on a set of "secret marks" recorded on it.
"I asked the Harbor Master to help prevent the 'Glorious' from setting sail in the name of temporary inspection!"
Julie said to her brother and Alan.
"Sister Julie, you are so witty!"
Feilin flattered his cousin with a smile, but ended up being disliked by his cousin.
"Stop talking nonsense and transform quickly. I don't want to run to the airport on two legs!" Julie urged her cousin impatiently.
Saving people is like putting out fire, and the siblings don't care about the looks of passers-by.
Directly activate the ancestral form and transform into a golden-winged griffin.
Julie was so anxious that she flew into the sky first.
Felin had no choice but to serve as Allen's mount.
It's forty miles from here to the airport outside the city.
Carrying Allen on his back, he flew all the way...
Felin had a premonition that he might be tired and cramped again.
……
Griffin Island, aviation terminal.
The manager of the Surprise Circus, Ethan Winston, looks like a handsome and elegant young gentleman.
Wearing a hand-made high-end dress and a straight bow tie.
In the pocket of the white shirt, there is a carefully folded decorative handkerchief.
Her long, smooth silver-gray hair is draped over her shoulders, and she holds an exquisitely crafted gold-inlaid cane in her hand.
Led by Captain Ethan, the remaining eight members of the circus boarded the airship carrying suitcases and three beasts used for performances.
In five minutes, the airship will take off and, dragged by the griffins, fly to the island where the next performance is scheduled.
This is the circus way of life.
When the airship was about to start, an accident happened.
"Sorry, Mr. Ethan, we may be delayed for half an hour."
The airship pilot said with an apologetic look.
"Excuse me, what happened?"
Ethan inquired politely.
"We have just received a notice from the Port Authority, saying that for navigation safety reasons, the airship needs to be temporarily inspected."
The driver shrugged helplessly and spread his hands.
"Is this common?" Ethan asked softly.
"Frankly speaking, in this season of sunny weather, it is not common."
The driver told the truth.
"Actually, just yesterday, our airship had a routine inspection and everything was normal."
"I really can't figure out why it's necessary to do it again."
"Of course! The masters of the Port Authority may be trying to tease people and show their power!"
The more the driver talked, the more unhappy he became and started complaining angrily.
"There's nothing we can do. It seems we have to wait a while."
Next to the group leader, the animal trainer casually interjected.
This girl with heavy makeup is also wearing performance clothes and a tight black leather jacket, which highlights her exquisite figure.
A leather whip used to tame wild beasts is wrapped around Yingying's waist.
Captain Ethan turned his head and gave the trainer a cold look.
"I've warned you twice. When I'm talking, I hate interruptions!"
"I didn't talk to you!" The animal trainer tilted his head, with an unruly look on his face, "Can't I just talk to myself? You don't have to lose your temper over such a trivial matter that happens by chance!"
"Do you think this is a coincidence?" Ethan asked her coldly.
"Isn't it?" the young and energetic animal taming girl asked on the spot.
"Haha... You are a newcomer. You have just come out of the secret realm. You seriously lack social experience and don't know the dangers of the world."
"I can understand all of this."
"But you clearly don't understand anything, and you always behave in a self-righteous manner. Frankly speaking, this makes me very unhappy."
"In fact, I have always had zero tolerance for prickly hair. You'd better not violate my bottom line."
After warning the trainer in a low voice, Ethan turned around and faced the airship pilot.
An elegant smile returns to your face.
"Sir, I don't think you need to pay attention to the flight control bureau's blind instructions. How about taking off on time while the weather is still good?"
"I'm afraid this won't work -"
Before the driver finished speaking, his eyes suddenly went straight and his expression became dazed.
One of Ethan's hands gently rested on his shoulder.
There is a trace of something swimming crawling out from the tip of the index finger.
Slowly squirm along the driver's neck skin.
In an instant, it disappeared.
"You should consider the feelings of our passengers."
Ethan's words had a hint of bewitching.
"We are in a hurry, and we have already bought the ferry tickets."
"As customers, we have reason to demand on-time departure."
"You're right..." The pilot was completely hypnotized by Ethan before he knew it, "Mr. Ethan, I'll start the airship right now."
