More than five hundred people were in the same place, noisy and lively. Listening to the children and adults around them excitedly talking about what they had heard about the circus, even Quins's calm state of mind was shaken.
From time to time, the narrow aisles are filled with vendors selling snacks and props. Pervasive businessmen will appear wherever there are business opportunities.
Quins observed everything around him with interest. Speaking of which, since he came to Hong Kong, there have been fewer people going out and more people staying at home. This kind of lively and bustling event has not been experienced for a long time.
The auditorium is fan-shaped, surrounding a semicircle with a diameter of 20 yards, and is surrounded by a fence made of high barbed wire, which isolates the performance area from the auditorium.
Unknowingly, the time was approaching, and at this moment, a man over 5 feet tall, wearing a colorful tuxedo, walked out from the backstage. The biggest impression this man made on Quines was his two beautiful and shiny mustaches.
"Did you see that? It's this man, his name is Glenn Matthews, the leader of the circus." Thousand Faces whispered beside Quins.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Bavisha Circus. I am Glenn Matthew, the leader of the circus." Glenn Matthew's voice was loud and magnetic. What's even more surprising is that as he
The sound of his voice, which was originally noisy in the ears, gradually became quieter. As his introduction was completed, the whole place fell into silence, as if his voice had mysterious magic power.
"The Bavisha Circus will bring you the most exciting circus show in the world." Glenn Matthews said with a slight smile: "Without further ado, the first is the show brought to you by the animal trainer.
.”
Glenn Matthews waved his right hand lightly, and a ring of fire was suddenly thrown out, causing a round of soft shouts from the audience. Then, with a roar of a lion, a man was riding on a male lion.
He jumped out of the ring of fire. While no one was paying attention, Glenn Matthews quietly retreated into the ring of fire and disappeared.
Quince and Qianmian did not join the crowd in exclaiming, but looked solemn.
"See that ring of fire?" Quins asked.
"He actually swung a fire ring out of thin air, and also teleported the animal trainer and a lion." Qian Mian murmured: "Ordinary people only think this is a magic show, but I can be sure that this is a secret technique, very...
A powerful secret."
At this time, the animal trainer was waving his long whip, scolding and driving the lion to jump into the rings of fire that appeared out of thin air, sometimes jumping into and out of another fire ring, which attracted bursts of exclamations and applause from the audience.
, sometimes many fire rings are lined up in a row, and the lion jumps out after passing through all the fire rings with its amazing ability to stay in the air. It is really full of tricks.
"That lion is no ordinary beast, it must have mutated." Quins quickly assessed the trainer's combat power in his mind.
"And that long whip, it looks like a secret treasure." Thousand Faces added with a venomous look.
Quince and Qianfeng looked at each other, feeling troubled. One animal trainer allowed them to see so many clues. You must know that there will be magicians, acrobats, clowns, etc. later.
Sure enough, the clown came on the stage next, riding a single wheel, walking a tightrope, throwing a ball, and changing his face. They were all very exciting and won bursts of applause. But the clown's face change that caught Quins and Quins' attention the most was not
Change the entire clown's face with white powder, but while the clown's face remains unchanged, the person under the ugly face is changed. When the audience realizes that the clown is no longer a clown, because the most obvious clothing
It is no longer the original clown costume.
This is easy to say, but it requires people to ignore the changes in the clown in front of everyone. Of course Quines can do this. What is truly terrifying is the change of people. The exchange of spaces between two people.
It is very difficult to do this, and in actual combat, it can even surprise the enemy, setting a trap or delivering a fatal blow.
After the clown exits, there are two male and female acrobats, alley-oop trapeze, high-altitude tightrope walking and so on. The last magician appears, the classic dove magic, scepter magic, etc. are just magic in the eyes of the audience.
But in the view of Quins and the two of them, these magics involve the mysterious knowledge of space.
"I think the eldest prince was killed here." Quins suddenly said.
"How do you say that?" Qian Mian was a little surprised.
Quins gave Qianmian a strange look: "Can't you think of something when you see the abilities of these people? I thought you should have realized it with your shrewdness."
Qian Mian's face turned red and he argued forcefully: "Humph, I was just a little shocked by the power of the circus. I didn't have time to think about anything."
Quins smiled half-heartedly: "So do you think of it now?"
Thousand-faced Qianqi Ai Ai, hesitating and saying nothing.
"Think about the injuries the eldest prince suffered, including burns, falls, and bites. Haha, aren't they all here?" Quins said.
"Yes, the ring of fire, the lion, the aerial acrobat, the eldest prince was really killed here." Qian Mian murmured.
"What's even more terrifying is that these people all have more or less spatial abilities, which is a bit abnormal." Quins said solemnly. Space abilities cannot be mastered casually.
Qianmian nodded in agreement: "I have also discovered that everyone has some spatial abilities, and no matter how you look at them, they are a little abnormal."
While the two were discussing with each other, Glenn Matthews appeared again to give the final curtain call.
"Let's go. We've seen everything we need to see. Let's go back first." Quins stood up calmly and followed the flow of people toward the exit.
When they walked out of the tent, they felt relieved. Even though they were just investigating information this time, after getting to know the Bavisha Circus more deeply, their minds were still unconsciously shrouded in a haze.
After walking out of the small circus market, the two of them did not call for a carriage, but walked along the street. The streets were a little deserted at night, but neither of them cared about it.
"What do you do next?" Quins asked.
Qian Mian was silent for a moment, "The most urgent task is to find out the origins and secret skills of these people. What is shown in the circus may only be superficial."
"Yes, you are not dizzy yet, but since they are citizens of the New Machinu Empire, it may be difficult to find out their origins. A prince who kills at will will not be an ordinary extraordinary person.
Or, the black market intelligence network will probably have no information about them." Quins said.
"Anyway, let's work out a solution first." Qian Mian said calmly.
"Okay," Quins glanced at Qianmian and saw that Qianmian was completely mentally prepared: "But have you ever thought about why the Bavisha Circus didn't leave and stayed here?
?”
Qian Mian frowned. He had been paying attention to the murderer before, but he had never thought about the intentions of the Bavisha Circus. Now he wanted to go deeper and said, "You mean, they will still attack? The second prince or the fourth prince?"
"It's not impossible." Quins was noncommittal. He had too little information to make a judgment, but he still needed the necessary reminders.
"Are you suspecting that the Bawisha Circus is the knife in the hands of one of those two people? Or are the two colluding together?" Qianmian was thoughtful, and Quins just made the beginning and thought of many possibilities in the follow-up.
Quins shrugged: "Who knows? I'm just reminding you that Dickens is not trustworthy, so don't let the old facts we found out out. What should I say? Think clearly for yourself."
Thousand Faces Like Frost: "Huh, you don't need to worry about these."
After exchanging opinions with each other, the two of them, who were disgusted with each other, simply separated and called their carriages to go back.
On the carriage, Quins did not ask the coachman to go back to No. 2326 Sycamore Street, but to No. 166 Blue Diamond Street, the residence of Star Witch Olivia. When it came to international intelligence, Quins was the first to think of it.
The first ones are the major churches and demon hunting unions, and the second one that comes to mind is Olivia, the Star Witch, who has a background in a large organization.
Standing in front of Olivia's mansion, Quins knocked on the door.
