13 Mingke Street

Chapter 59 Anger!

The circus performance is about to begin, please enter with your ticket.Adult regular tickets are 5 dollars each, children's tickets are 2 dollars each, and VIP tickets are 10 dollars each.Karen bought 7 VIP tickets, spending 70 dollars, because VIP tickets do not receive a discount for children's tickets.Tickets of different colors correspond to different areas, and there will be someone checking tickets and guiding you to your designated area. The VIP tickets are located in the front center of the stage.The areas are marked, but the tickets do not have specific seat numbers. Each area has benches and ticket holders can sit anywhere within their designated area.

Karen chose to sit in the third row, with him on the far left. Eunice sat to his right, and Mina sat in order to the right of Eunice. Alfred sat at the far right end of the aisle.The music was loud and the rhythm was strong. On stage, a clown was holding a microphone and constantly directing the positions."Do you think it's too loud?" Karen asked Eunice, who was sitting next to him."No, I think it's lively and exciting," Eunice smiled. "I've never been to such a lively place before."Karen thought that when Eunice said "lively", she must have meant "down-to-earth".Finally, all the audience had sat down. The clown let out a loud scream into the microphone, trying to get everyone's attention. But unexpectedly, the speakers suddenly broke and the sound of electronic music exploded.The VIP seats were in the front row, closest to the speakers, so they were hit by the sound waves.Karen took a deep breath and looked at Eunice and the children. He noticed that even though they were covering their ears, they were still smiling."Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the performance hall of the Kachilou Circus. The wonderful show is about to begin. First up, our beautiful songstress will bring you the famous song by Luo Jia: 'Luo Jia's Lover'!"A slightly plump female singer, wearing a tight blue costume, walked to the center with a microphone. With the accompaniment of music, she began to sing emotionally, "Luo Jia's Lover".

A song composed by a Rulai-born, but moved to Vienna at the age of three, Rulai-born Rui Lan singer;This song won an award at a music festival in Vienna, and although it is seen as a symbol of Rulai by circus troupes from other places, the locals of Rulai have actually never heard this song.In fact, the female singer's vocal skills are good, but the lyrics and music of this song are a bit too ordinary, and everyone finds it boring to listen to.However, the purpose of the opening song is to ease the atmosphere and give some comfort to the impatient audience who arrived early, and to give some extra time for those who haven't had a chance to buy tickets and enter the venue;After all, everyone is here to watch the circus, not to attend a concert.In Karen's perspective, the sound system, the style of the painting, the frozen ground on the floor, and the crowd around him suddenly brought him back to the atmosphere of the rural funeral music band in his previous life.The female singer is very professional, and even tried to interact with the audience during the performance, and even turned the microphone towards the audience at one point, but how can they sing along when it's their first time hearing this song?But fortunately, the song finally ended.The female singer also felt relieved and bowed to the audience:"Thank you all!"

Immediately, a group of horses galloped into the arena, circling around the stage. The male and female acrobats on horseback began to perform various difficult stunts, causing the audience to cheer and the children to scream with excitement.The circus performance had officially begun.Next was the animal taming act, with a lion performing various tricks under the command of the tamer, creating a thrilling sight.At this moment, Alfred, sitting at the far right aisle, turned to look at the entrance and then whispered to Lunt, who was mesmerized by the circus next to him:"Lunt, Uncle needs to step out for a moment. Sit tight and take care of your sisters, okay?""Okay!"Alfred glanced at Karen, who was sitting far away, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to bend down and speak to her:"Young master, there's something outside. I'll go check it out."Karen furrowed his brows and asked, "Is it serious?""I'm not sure, I'll go take a look."

"Do we need to go together?" Karen looked at Alfred's expression and felt that things were not that simple. If there were any unexpected risks, he would not hesitate to take everyone home.Alfred looked around and said, "Master, it's safe here with so many people. I can go out and check by myself.""Okay."Alfred walked out of the exit. Because most people were inside watching the performance, there were not many people outside except for some street vendors and customers. However, Alfred went straight to a street vendor's tent.He lifted the curtain and saw a man dressed as a street vendor lying on the ground. A woman was trying to pry open a savings box while cursing, "He died so quickly, but where did he hide the key to our savings?"There was also an old man in a tattered leather jacket sitting on a small stool, holding a small knife in his hand. The blade was pointed at a rusty iron ring on his ring finger, making a crisp sound with each tap.When Alfred came in, the old man lifted his eyelids. With just one glance, Alfred felt immense pressure. In that instant, he realized that this old man was someone he could never defeat.

And almost instinctively, he compared the old man in front of him to Lord Dis.The conclusion he came to was that Lord Dis was stronger.Because Lord Dis had once given him a feeling... that he could barely match him if he tried his best.Rasma threw the dagger in his hand in front of Alfred,saying:"Dig out one of your own eyes for me, dig carefully and don't leave any marks."Alfred glanced at the woman who was still picking the lock;The old man's mouth curved into a smile as he raised his hand:"Order - Cage."In an instant, a black frame appeared around Alfred, completely isolating him and blocking all abilities of the succubus eye.

Rasma is the high priest of the Order of the Gods, and below the temple, he is one of the most powerful figures. When news of his arrival in Rulan spread, the leaders of the Rulan district management were also anxious, and when they saw him, they had to bow and respectfully call out: Lord Rasma.Alfred could indeed ignore ordinary local judges, but this person in front of him was of a much higher rank than a local judge.To a certain extent, he could be considered one of the faces of the Order of the Gods in the secular world.But at this moment,Alfred, who had previously been almost desperate, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief,and he clasped his hands together:"Praise the Order."Immediately,an identity card floated out of his pocket.Rasma's gaze slightly narrowed,

Spread out your hands,That identity card fell into his hands,The signature reads: Order of the Divine Cult, Rui Lan District, Luo Jia City, Trial Department.However, for Lasma, this title is not something he needs to pay too much attention to. What he cares about is the name behind the title: Dis. Inmeres.Lasma waved his hand, and the cage dissipated. Alfred fell back to the ground and respectfully said:"Sir.""Are you Dis's person?""Dis Judge is my direct superior.""Ah..."Lasma couldn't help but let out a sigh,

Very straightforward:"I really like your eyes, and I was originally planning to just take them, after all, you are a demon and I am an enforcer."Alfred didn't say anything."But since you are also a member of the Order of the Gods, I don't feel comfortable taking them. However, I can offer something in exchange, I believe I can give you a price that will make your heart flutter, and you can willingly trade one of your eyes for it."Alfred continued to remain silent."But since you are under Dis's command, I can't do anything."Alfred shouted in his mind:Praise Dis!Rasma slapped her forehead and continued, "I used to think I wasn't any worse than Dis, at least not by much, but then..."Alfred: Me too.

Rasma pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "He insulted the Order of the Gods." "Yes, I will take care of it." This was the perfect opportunity for the hearse to come. "Hmm." Rasma stood up and as she walked out of the small tent, the woman finally managed to open the lock with a loud "snap". "Phew..." Rasma looked towards the big circus tent in front of her. Since Dias' people were already here, he didn't need to worry about it. He had originally planned to suppress the emotional fluctuations caused by coming to Rokia, but who would have thought that he would end up back at square one. He looked up at the stars with a sense of sadness.

As I walked out, I shook my head and said, "Ah, what a wasted day."...Inside the circus tent, the circus performance was still going on. Currently, they were performing a live magic show, and the magician was a man with a very feminine appearance, deliberately acting in a feminine manner.If you observe closely, you can see that he was actually the clown from the beginning, but now he has taken off his makeup.The performance was called "Surviving Underwater", and a glass container was already placed on the stage, filled with water.When the host announced the name of the performance, Karen was slightly surprised. Shouldn't it be called "Surviving Underwater"? It's the type of performance where the performer is tied up and put into the water, struggling and trying to untie the ropes before finally pushing open the lid and sticking their head out. Along the way, the person who tied the knots can choose a lucky audience member to be the survivor.Surviving... does that mean it's more like surviving underwater?

"Welcome our performer, Miss Mandila, to the stage!"The magician pointed to the backstage, and a young girl in a dress waved to the audience as she walked to the magician's side.Her smile seemed forced and unnatural, even more so than Mina, who had been asked to sit with Eunice during the day.Karen frowned slightly,Instinctively,This performer named Mandila made him feel uncomfortable.It wasn't because of her appearance, but as a member of the Inmores family, he had spent the past few months helping out at home and transporting bodies had become a habit, to the point where he could drive the hearse like a car;So,This performer on stage gave Karen a sense of familiarity.This smile,

This texture,This gaze,If it weren't for her movement, Karen would even feel like she was a "guest" lying on a stretcher waiting to be sent on her way.The other person's expression and smile were just like that night in the basement workshop when Aunt Mary introduced a guest to herself. His wife had asked her husband to give off a gentle smile at the funeral.Aunt Mary used a stapler to fix the skin and flesh of the other person's profile, creating a "delicate smile" for the guest.Just like the smile of Miss Mandira on the stage now."Next, we would like to invite a lucky audience member to come up and help us tie the ropes."As the magician spoke, he walked to the edge of the stage to find someone. Since Karen was sitting in the VIP seat close to the stage, the chances of being chosen were high.And the magician directly chose Eunice, pointing at her and saying into the microphone:"This beautiful lady, could you please come up on stage and help us complete this great magic performance?"

"Younis shook her hand, indicating her refusal."Don't be shy, beautiful lady, please come up quickly, we are all waiting for you." Younis turned to Karen, as if seeking her opinion, but saw Karen's expression was serious, so she continued to politely smile and shake her head to refuse, looking at the magician on the edge of the stage."Is the gentleman sitting next to you your husband? Oh, then can I invite your husband to come up and help us with this magic?" Karen's gaze was fixed on the mandala.The mandala still maintained her previous "smile", but she would follow the magician's steps and make some body movements, even constantly relying on the water tank to change her posture with dance moves, occasionally revealing some spring colors under her skirt.This kind of wild circus not only attracts children, so it is normal to have some slightly erotic elements."Sir, sir?" The magician called Karen again.But suddenly, a girl's voice came into Karen's ears:

"I'm cold... I'm so cold... I'm really cold..."The voice was weak, but in this noisy environment, it sounded so clear. For a moment, it felt like a chill was sweeping over her hands and feet, making Karen shiver uncontrollably.The magician couldn't get Karen to respond, so he had to choose another middle-aged man in the front row. The man immediately agreed and climbed onto the stage over the small barrier."Sir, please come here." The magician pointed to him. "Mandira, let's welcome our guest performer."Mandira walked towards the middle-aged audience member and they hugged. During the hug, the man deliberately reached into Mandira's skirt and groped her.Many male audience members immediately let out exaggerated screams and whistles."Okay, sir, please help us tie the ropes on her hands." The magician said.The middle-aged man started tying the ropes. He didn't have any tying skills, he just made loops and knots."Okay, now the ropes are tied. Now, let's welcome our performer Miss Mandira to enter the water tank. Let's give her a round of applause!" With her hands tied, Miss Mandira climbed up the ladder and before entering the water, she faced the audience and bowed with a standard smile that hardly changed.

"Everyone, let's count down together with me!" The magician, also known as the guest clown, jumped up and led the whole audience in the countdown: "Three!" "Two!" "One!" Miss Mandira leaped into the water tank. "Oh!!!!!" The entire audience cheered together. "Hiss..." But Karen took a sharp breath, feeling like the one who just jumped into the water was himself.

"Karen, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Eunice asked with concern."No, I'm fine, I'm fine." Karen sat back down.Meanwhile on stage, the magician began to lock the lid of the water tank with a large lock, and the audience could see Mandyra submerged in the water through the glass.Her skirt floated up, revealing a pair of long, white legs, creating a strange and exciting scene.She was still waving her hands, interacting with the audience in the water, with her standard smile unchanged."Let's perform other acts first."The magician took out a deck of cards and began to perform a simple and boring card trick. The audience had seen this type of magic many times and were not interested, but no one booed or jeered.Because almost no one was paying attention to what the magician was doing. Even if he sat there eating a bowl of macaroni, no one would criticize his performance or demand a refund.Everyone was focused on Mandyra in the water tank. When would she come out? How long could she hold her breath?

"Cold... I'm so cold... really cold..."The voice echoed in Karen's mind once again.This feeling reminded Karen of when she stood on the first floor of her house and heard Mr. Mosang's crying from the basement.This Miss Mandira, is actually a corpse!And when Karen looked towards the water tank,Miss Mandira inside the water tank also turned her body towards the direction where Karen was sitting:"So cold... so cold... they kept dunking me in the water over and over again... over and over again... so cold...""Who are you?" Karen tried to ask in her mind."They call me... Mandira...""Who are they..."

"Is the leader... is the magician sir... is the master who bought me from my parents... is the person who drowned me in the water... is the person who repeatedly soaked me in the water..."Karen furrowed his brow, instinctively wanting to break free from this strange "communication" because he could sense a strong and complex emotion quickly infecting him:Incomprehension,Doubt,Resentment,And a thick, almost dripping, hatred!Karen was always sensitive to emotions and didn't want to be influenced by others, so he closed his eyes and gave himself a psychological suggestion similar to hanging up the phone.However,When he opened his eyes again,His vision suddenly became extremely distorted, hindered by water and blocked by glass, and all the figures outside seemed to be exaggerated and deformed.

But he still saw a group of familiar figures, those children...Lunt, Sarah, Chris, Mina, Eunice...He even saw himself sitting next to Eunice!Karen put his hands on the glass surface, feeling a strong sense of suffocation. This suffocation cannot be described in words. What is even more terrifying is the despair of not being able to die no matter how suffocating you are!Because you are already a dead person, you will not die again!This is a kind of mental torture that surpasses human understanding, as if falling into the hell on earth.The audience present cheered because of Miss Mandira's actions, because in their perspective, Miss Mandira always maintained a "delicate smile", and this action of tapping the glass surface seemed to be interacting with them.Karen kept blinking,He wanted to get out of this state,Otherwise, he would go crazy, he would definitely go crazy.

Finally,After blinking, Karen's body trembled and his gaze returned to his seat."Karen? Are you really okay? I called you just now and you didn't react at all?"Karen hugged Eunice, burying his face in her body, while his hand directly reached into her clothes, touching her warm skin.This was almost an instinctive action, like a person who is about to freeze to death will subconsciously hold onto anything warm, even if it means jumping into a fire, because the brain is unable to think at this moment.Eunice was stunned, but she didn't push Karen away when she saw his pale face. Instead, she used her bag to block his hand and shielded the possible glances from nearby people.Her other hand was wrapped around Karen's neck, and her face was pressed against his.To outsiders, this was just a normal action of a couple sitting in an intimate position."Hoo...hoo...hoo..."Karen kept panting.

I can hear her voice, I can feel her emotions, and I can even enter her perspective.Similar to the interaction with corpses, Karen had experienced it several times before, but never as strong as this time, giving him such a strong sense of immersion.Is it because... she was originally an active corpse?Is she different from the corpses that were originally lying on stretchers or in coffins and were awakened by him?Slowly, Karen's breathing began to calm down.Eunice continued to pat Karen's back, sensing his previous loss of control.Meanwhile, the enthusiasm of the audience was gradually rising, as Miss Mandira had been in the water for too long, so long that the magician had already performed several long and boring low-level magic tricks.At this moment, in the water tank, Mandira's body was tilted back, and her floating long skirt almost completely covered her face, making everyone think that she might have had an accident and drowned.Mina and Lente had already covered their eyes and dared not continue to watch."Okay, next is the moment to witness the miracle!"

The magician finally threw his damn prop cards to the ground and walked to the water tank. He even did a one-legged turn before climbing up the ladder and showing the key to the audience. He then shook his body while deliberately taking his time to unlock the lock.Midway through unlocking, he pretended that the key couldn't open the lock and threw it to the ground. Then he came down and picked up the key, creating various twists and turns, scaring the audience below who cursed in unison.But no matter what, the atmosphere was well set.Finally,The magician opened the lock and lifted the lid of the water tank.In the next moment,Miss Mandira emerged from the water, raising her arms and making a classic dance move, like a ballet dancer in the water."Oh oh oh oh!!!!!!""Amazing, amazing!!!!""That really scared me, it really scared me!"

The audience erupted into loud cheers, and the atmosphere inside the circus tent reached its peak. Minashara and Chris were both crying and clapping hard, as they had been genuinely worried about the safety of the female performer earlier. At this moment, Karen, who had been lying in Eunice's arms, turned her face towards the stage. There was a deep chill in her eyes as she moved her lips and silently said, "Go die." Miss Mandira, who was performing a dance and receiving cheers from the audience, suddenly reached out and hugged the magician who was standing on the ladder next to her, tipping his hat to the audience. "Thud!"

The magician also fell into the water,Miss Mandira lifted her long skirt in the water, completely covering the magician's face, and even lay on top of him, pressing him down.The magician's hands wildly grabbed and touched the female performer, even more boldly than the middle-aged audience member who had helped on stage before!From the audience's perspective,This is the next round of performance,The magician and the actress are performing a passionate scene in the water tank!"Oh oh oh oh oh!!!!!!""Amazing, amazing, truly amazing!""This ticket is worth it, worth it!""Fantastic, so beautiful!"

No one cares how long the female performer and the magician have been embracing in the water tank, anyway it will be fine no matter how long it takes, right?The female performer has been in the water tank for so long before, and nothing happened, right?Everyone just cheers, communicates and vents their hormones stimulated by this scene, and secretly decides that after the performance is over, they must go to the gypsy girl's tent to vent!In the water tank,The magician's hand has stopped struggling, and his face, hidden under the skirt, is frozen in a look of horror.But Mandira still holds him tightly, with no intention of letting go.In the audience,Karen finally realized how inappropriate his actions were and sat up."Are you feeling better, Karen?" Eunice didn't question Karen's actions just now, just concerned.Karen nodded and whispered to Eunice:

"Thank you."At the same time, a girl's voice with a trembling of relief came from Karen's ear:"Thank you."
