When the time limit for detention was up, the Inspection Bureau did not produce any evidence to prove that Rufu murdered his uncle, so he could only be released in the end.
"Wait to be prosecuted! Don't think I'm just an ordinary circus owner. Several judges in Renekton have seen me perform, and I know them!"
With a harsh word, Rufu angrily stopped a carriage on the roadside.
"Go to Red Lion Square! It's nearby! Hurry!"
As soon as he sat in, Rufu let out a long breath, and his whole body instantly became sluggish and lost weight.
There was sweat on his forehead, and he was even more nervous than when he was in custody.
The carriage arrived at the Red Lion Square and stopped at the entrance of the circus. Ruf got out of the car in a hurry. Before leaving, he suddenly turned back and mysteriously said to the coachman: "Don't go far, go to the alley over there and wait for me..." <
/p>
The driver looked confused, tilted his neck, and drove in that direction.
Rufu entered the performance venue surrounded by barriers. When the employees inside saw that the boss was back, they all came over to greet him.
Because he was detained by the Procuratorate, the circus has not been operating normally for two days, but the rent for this land has to be paid to the City Management Bureau as usual.
The employees were all asking Ruff when he would be able to resume performances. Ruff ignored everyone and went into his shed with a gloomy face.
He first checked the financial ledger, and at a glance, he saw that the circus's income was decreasing month by month.
This is a problem that every performance troupe must face. The enthusiasm of the audience will have a period of fatigue. Even if the performance venue is set up in an area where rich people gather, the real money can only be made during the earliest period.<
/p>
If the current circus does not introduce new tricks, it will have to move to other locations if it continues like this.
However, there are not many gorgeous places like Red Lion Square.
"Damn it Joseph! Why didn't you ever tell me what I need to do to become a seer! You are so old and you still want to bring the secret message into hell?" Rufu wished he could crumple up the account book into a ball and throw it into the bucket.
ri.
He put his hands on his hips and swayed his eyes from side to side.
After a while, Rufu put on a pair of inconspicuous overalls and a peaked cap and sneaked out of the shack.
He avoided other people, sneaked around to the other side, opened the barrier, and slipped out of the performance venue.
He lowered the brim of his hat and ran across the street, bypassing an intersection, where the carriage he had ordered was indeed parked.
"To the Gilded Avenue..."
……
In less than half an hour, Ruf was sent to the designated address.
He walked down by himself and did not let the carriage enter the street.
The heavy rain last night didn't last long, but the streets in the slums were still full of mud.
Stepping on the wet dirt road, Rufu entered the open space inside through an arch on the roadside, where there was a dilapidated warehouse.
You can see a few incomplete old posters at your feet, and the mascots on them look so familiar and friendly.
Rufu looked around warily. When he saw no one else, he pushed open the rusty iron door of the warehouse.
The dust inside filled his nose. Rufu covered his nose and found the oil lamp on the side iron frame very familiarly and lit it.
He closed the door, walked to the innermost part of the warehouse, pushed aside a pile of dusty empty boxes, and swept away a dirty carpet with his feet, revealing the hidden door underneath.
Rufu took a deep breath, as if to embolden himself, he hurriedly took out a key, and tremblingly inserted the rusty iron lock.
Click!
After inserting the key, the lock got stuck. Rufu could neither pull it out nor open the door. Finally, he angrily picked up a shovel and smashed it against the ground door.
After hitting it hard for more than ten times, he finally broke the door open.
Rufu picked up the shovel, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth, picked up the oil lamp and got into the cellar.
The air below was very humid, and the loud dragging sound stimulated Rouf's tense nerves.
Rufu carefully walked down the wooden steps and focused the oil lamp at the front to illuminate the ground.
The terrifying movement reappeared, and something strange curled up in the corner of the cellar. At a glance, only a rough outline could be seen.
However, just based on this dark outline, it is impossible to tell what it is.
It squirmed against the wall, and when it felt the light at the top of the stairs, it squirmed even more intensely, and a shaking sound like an iron chain suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, Ruf heard a weird and terrifying hoarse sound. The black figure that had been huddled in the corner suddenly rushed over. The heat wave-like breath hit Ruf's face head-on. Several terrifying flesh limbs stretched out from the darkness.
It kept shaking less than five centimeters in front of Rufu's eyes.
Rufu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and his fleshy limbs quickly retracted.
"Glow... Glow above! It's over, Joseph! I'll send you to see him right away..."
Before he could finish speaking, the warehouse door outside the cellar was violently smashed open by a force, and two agents wearing the uniforms of the Inspection Bureau rushed in quickly.
Bright light from outside shone into the house, and the detectives soon discovered the passage leading to the cellar.
Rufu was startled. He lifted the oil lamp and came up to check, but was immediately targeted by two guns.
"What are you doing?!" Ruf was shocked, but then he saw the third agent hiding behind the two agents.
"Mr. Ruf, are you okay?"
By the light of the oil lamp, Rufu could see the other party's appearance clearly.
He recalled carefully and finally remembered that this man had been to the circus.
"Is it you? Come...oh!"
Rufu suddenly realized, and just said: You are the one who took Joseph's grave...
Before he could finish speaking, a terrifying groan came from the cellar.
Then, everyone heard the chain shaking, as if something was broken. The next second, the terrifying groan got closer and closer, as if a monster was about to crawl out of the cellar!
Ruf screamed in surprise, threw away the oil lamp and ran out. Victor caught him and threw him to other agents.
He took out his gun, aimed it at the cellar entrance, and ordered his companions to retreat as soon as they caught the person.
But the thing under the cellar was very fast. Two indescribable flesh limbs stretched out from the darkness first. In an instant, they pierced the shoulder and chest of an agent, dragging him in with a scream.
The cellar.
What followed was a series of horrifying sounds of dismemberment and bone breaking.
Rouf was sprayed with blood on his face, and he shouted frantically with his mouth open. He frantically pushed away the agent who controlled him, and was the first to rush out of the warehouse.
"Withdraw first!"
Victor opened his eyes wide and quickly ordered the ordinary agent.
But then, the second flesh limb popped out again and stabbed a huge hole in the agent's head.
The flesh limb split into two in the opponent's mind, dismembering the agent's body and tearing it in half, and dragged them together into the cellar.
Bang bang bang!
During this period, Victor kept shooting into the darkness, but he knew that the bullets had no effect at all.
"Damn it, it turns out it's not 'fear', but 'fascination'!"
Victor finished shooting six rounds and loaded the pistol while retreating.
The weird groaning sound appeared again, and the thing finally emerged from the dark cellar.
Victor raised his gun and aimed forward, and saw a twisted and melted human body, deeply embedded in a wriggling mass of black rotten flesh.
The man's face twisted in pain, his eyes were empty, and moans kept coming from his throat.
Several disgusting and terrifying flesh limbs sprouted from various parts of the human body and rotten flesh, changed into different sharp forms, and swept towards Victor!
At the critical moment, Victor stretched his sleeves forward and suddenly shouted: "Xiao Hei! Come on!"
