Chapter 18 Happy Circus 17

Bella had the same idea.
Her face turned pale, and she felt a nauseous feeling in her chest, but she tried to suppress her instinctive nausea and looked for clues everywhere.
She couldn't always rely on Lucia, she had to face these things by herself.
Lucia looked at Bella who was looking around, then leaned closer to the cross and carefully observed the chain on the cross.
It was very small and narrow.
Lucia compared her wrist slightly, and she could barely match the half-broken chain.
In addition to the height of the cross in front of her, it means that the only people who can be tied to the cross, except women, are children.
There are many women, but children?
Lucia paused slightly. In addition to Joel, who is short and can barely be called a child, is there anyone else in this circus?
She has roughly determined who is tied to the cross.

【The current copy has reached 60% of the hidden plot】
【Congratulations to the player for reaching 60% of the game progress for the first time, and obtaining the hidden benefit Mirror of Memories, which lasts for three days. Please rest assured that the player does not need to participate in the activities in the dungeon within two days, and the NPC will automatically ignore the player's existence】
【Warm reminder: In the realm of memories, players must remember to maintain a good mental state. Once they collapse, their mental state will continue to decline when they return to the dungeon】
【The game cannot guarantee that the player will not become a fool】
【The countdown of 60 seconds begins now】

The system sound that rang very quickly in her ears caught Lucia off guard.
What the hell? Is this really a benefit?
The next second, the broken and rotten chains on the cross in front of her suddenly rushed towards her. Lucia's eyes condensed, and she subconsciously prepared to hide to the side, but the system prompt sounded suddenly.
There should be no need to hide.
She stopped where she was, letting the fast-moving chains tie her hands and feet, and then turned her around, pulling her towards the cross soaked in blood, and firmly tied herself to it.
Bella, who had just picked up a few long nails nearby, heard the clattering sound of chains behind her, and hurriedly turned around to see Lucia tied to the cross.
She ran over in fear, pulling the chains in panic: "What's going on? Lucia! Does it hurt?"
Lucia quickly stopped her behavior: "Don't move Bella, I triggered the hidden task, and now I should stay in this room for three days. You should find clues and get out first. It's too dangerous here."
Bella shook her head: "Three days, what if someone comes in, it's too dangerous!"
"Don't worry, it's okay. All NPCs in the game will ignore my existence during these three days. You should get out first. Seven o'clock is almost here."
Lucia spoke calmly. As for the chains on her body, since the system said that the body would not be attacked by NPCs within three days, it means that she is absolutely safe in this room.
There was no need to leave Bella here. If she refused to leave, Bella's fate would be imaginable when seven o'clock came.

Bella stared at Lucia's calm face, lowered her eyes to look at the particularly strong chain in her hand, and pulled the chain hard in Lucia's surprised eyes, then slowly let go.

She gave Lucia a forced smile: "Okay, Lucia, I'll come to find you here in three days."
Lucia looked at the anger rising in the girl's eyes, as if she thought of something, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "Okay."
As if she thought of something else, Lucia added: "Be careful, whether it's an NPC or a player."
Bella nodded vigorously with red eyes: "Okay, I know."

【The Realm of Memories has been opened】
【Players please be prepared】
As the system's mechanical sound disappeared, Lucia's head suddenly felt dizzy, and then her eyelids drooped slightly, and she fell into a coma.
Bella looked at Lucia, who had closed her eyes on the cross in front of her, and subconsciously clenched her hands.
It was not until she felt a stinging pain in her palm that she suddenly looked at her bleeding palm.
The iron nail, which was about 15 centimeters long, had cut her flesh because of her action, leaving a deep and thin cut, and blood with a hint of coldness flowed down her palm.
At the same time, the system announcement sounded in Bella's ears.
【Congratulations to player Bella for obtaining the combination item 1/2, the cursed long nail】
【Because of the rage of anger and revenge, Dania went crazy and nailed her enemy to death on the cross, and the blood was stained wildly, bringing a curse】
【The current prop is in a semi-activated state, which can cause damage to ghosts or players. The degree of damage will gradually increase with the player's ability】
[Please find the combination props as soon as possible, so that the maximum damage will be achieved]
Lin Panpan was stunned, looking at the long nail in her hand, and then looked at Lucia who was already in a coma, and began to look for it in the room.
Finally, at 6:45, she found a hammer covered with blood and buried in the corner.
【Congratulations to the player for collecting the combination props, which have been stored in the panel. Players can take them out from the panel when needed. 】
As the system finished speaking, Bella took a last look at Lucia tied to the cross, gritted her teeth and ran out of the room.
Three days later, she will come back to this room to wait for Lucia, and they will definitely survive together.
Bella was lucky. Not long after leaving the room, she actually ran into Lucius and Joan who also came to inquire about the news.
Joan saw her back first and ran over to pat her shoulder: "Bella! Why are you here?"
Joan looked behind her and was a little surprised that she didn't see Lucia: "Where's Lucia?"
Bella hid the worry in her eyes and whispered: "Lucia has something to deal with."
She was not a fool, but she had just met Joan and Lucius, so it was impossible for her to explain everything clearly, not to mention that Lucia had clearly said that she would be fine.
Joan said "oh", and seeing that Bella didn't want to talk, she didn't ask further: "Then you follow us for now, we just found the exit."
Bella nodded, and a grateful smile appeared on her pale face: "Thank you."
Joan waved her hand quickly.
Lucius next to him saw the blood dripping from Bella's fingertips, and his eyes flashed slightly under the lens.
It seems that they must have encountered something.
What bad luck.
Thinking of this, Lucius seemed to have realized something and looked at the direction where Bella had just walked. The words he wanted to say passed through his throat but still didn't come out.
He lowered his eyes slightly, sighed lightly, and his voice was a little cold: "Let's go."
Bella followed them and walked towards the exit.
On the other side, Lucia woke up in a burst of noise.
Lucia slowly opened her eyes, and saw a sea of people laughing and talking. Every adult was walking on the road with their children, and from time to time, they would see couples holding hands intimately passing by.
She soon realized that her current line of sight was wrong. She lowered her head and saw her short, skinny, black fingers and short legs wearing patched pants.
Occasionally, some cars passed by in front of her. From the blurry bodies of the cars, Lucia saw that she had turned into a little girl who was probably only six or seven years old.
A very familiar little girl.
She had two pigtails, a dark yellow face, and a pair of round eyes that hid fear and envy of the tourists around her.
Lucia wanted to lift her feet, but found that she couldn't move.
It wasn't until a young man in his thirties wearing a half-new suit appeared next to her that her head was raised uncontrollably.
Lucia could clearly see the irritability and anxiety in the man's eyes, but the owner of this body couldn't understand.
She stretched out her hand uncontrollably, grabbed the corner of the man's clothes, and then called the man in front of her sweetly.
"Dad, why are you so slow in shopping? Dania has been waiting for you for a long time."
