Infinite Horror Copy Pass Journey

Chapter 20 Happy Circus 19

"It's fine if you think it's good."

Stephen's voice was not as hoarse as in the game later, and he sounded like a young man.

After an unknown amount of time, as Dania woke up, Lucia could finally see things.

Joel, who looked fair and cute, sat on a chair, and behind him stood a blond foreign man wearing a magic hat. He had three-dimensional features and was handsome. At this time, he stood behind Joel like a bodyguard, with his eyelids drooping.

Lucia was a little surprised. She always thought that Stephen looked as scary as he saw in the game, but she didn't expect that Stephen looked so normal more than 20 years ago. He didn't look like the pervert who liked to bleed people.

So why did he become that ghostly look later?

Joel saw little Dania wake up and walked down from the chair with interest: "You're awake, Dania."

Little Dania shrank back. She noticed the malice in the boy's eyes and suppressed her fear: "My name is not Dania, my name is Dan."

"Have you seen my dad? He went to the bathroom."

Joel laughed out loud as if he was amused by her.

Little Dania was frozen by his laughter, and Lucia in her body also frowned, sensing that something was wrong with Joel in front of her.

Joel's mental state seemed to be a bit problematic.

"Sorry, it was just too funny."

Joel took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from his eyes, leaned close to the frightened little Dania, and whispered, "Your dad doesn't want you anymore."

"Impossible! Impossible!" Little Dania screamed.

How could her dad sell her? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Her dad treated her so well and even brought her to the circus to watch performances, how could he sell her?

This person must be lying to her! He must be lying to her!

Joel seemed to find her expression funny, and said in a bad tone: "How can it be impossible? I bought you with money, so your name is Dania now."

"What a nice name."

Joel sighed, "Just like the name Joel, it's very nice."

As he spoke, he seemed to be tired of little Dania's screams and cries, and grabbed little Dania's collar and pulled it tightly.

As little Dania's cries gradually became smaller, Lucia also felt the pain of her neck being tightened, and the pain of gradually being unable to breathe.

Just when Dania was about to be short of oxygen, Joel suddenly let go of his hand.

Lucia coughed rapidly with little Dania, while carefully observing Joel through little Dania's eyes.

So far, all of Joel's behavior is too much like a madman.

At first, Lucia thought they became crazy after they died, but now it seems that they were already crazy when they were alive. So, is Dania, who grew up in this environment, really a normal person?

This guess reminded Lucia of the scene when she saw Dania being insulted by Jack in the bathroom. If Dania was also crazy, how could she let Jack do that to her.

Stephen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly came over. He picked up the handkerchief that Joel had just thrown on the ground, and took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped the saliva on Joel's hand that Dania had just coughed out.

Joel glanced at Stephen and sneered: "Stephen, you are really a good dog of mine."

Stephen was folding the handkerchief, and heard the words and paused: "My pleasure, Mr. Joel."

Joel stopped looking at him and turned to Dania, who was still coughing on the ground. His tone was cold and bad: "You are an unwanted bastard. You are only worth three thousand dollars in front of your parents. How ridiculous."

Little Dania on the ground reacted and screamed again: "Don't say it, don't say it, I won't believe it, I won't believe it!"

"My father won't sell me, no, no, no!"

She kept repeating this sentence, as if brainwashing herself.

Joel looked at her with pity on his face: "You are so pitiful, Dania."

After that, he no longer cared about the hysterical little Dania on the ground, and took Stephen out of the room directly.

In the room, Lucia quietly listened to the brainwashing words of little Dania. She seemed to understand why Dania's spirit had not collapsed, because she had lied to herself when she was just bought by Joel. As long as she didn't believe, didn't listen, and didn't care, she could always believe that her father didn't sell her. But would it really be okay? If one day this lie was broken and destroyed, could Dania still stay from going crazy? Every day afterwards, Joel would come to this room to attack little Dania psychologically and verbally. Lucia had already felt that Dania's spirit was getting more and more wrong. Until she was fifteen years old, she was finally released from that room by Joel. After coming out, Dania looked at the crowds of circus tourists outside and froze in place. She wanted to run, but she had no money, was illiterate, and didn't know the way.

Lucia finally understood why Joel kept Dania in the room.

Fifteen-year-old Dania knew nothing. Even if she was released by Joel, she didn't know how to escape. She had been spoiled.

Lucia thought Dania would save money, after all, the small wooden box hidden under the bathroom was full of small banknotes. But she didn't expect Dania to get money in that way.

At first, Dania was r***d by Jack who brought a tour group to watch the show.

While she was struggling, she saw Joel and Stephen passing by the door. Her eyes lit up, thinking they would save her, but she saw a sarcastic smile on Joel's face.

Even Stephen, the only one who couldn't bear it, closed the door directly at Joel's signal, completely destroying Dania's hope.

Lucia looked at this scene, and great anger surged in her heart.

She couldn't understand Joel's behavior. First, he broke Dania's self-esteem, and then crushed Dania's request for help. What benefit could this bring him?

After that, Jack became more and more unscrupulous, and even threw a few pieces of paper money every time. Over time, Dania even got used to it.

Because she found that she could get money in this way, and after having money, she could leave the circus, but she didn't know that those dimes or even a few cents couldn't even buy a ticket.

And Lucia finally knew where the money in the wooden box came from.

Lucia couldn't say anything or do anything about the tragedy happening in front of her.

For Dania, she could get the money and save money to escape.

After all, Dania was only six years old when she was sold in, and no one had ever taught her anything. She even lived under Joel's psychological abuse until she was fifteen years old.

She had always lived step by step on her own in this circus that the audience thought was Happy Valley but was actually hell.

And this continued until she was fifteen years old, when a mute woman was sold into the circus.
