The circus performance is about to begin, buy tickets to enter.

Adult regular tickets are 5 Lu coins each, children's tickets are 2 Lu coins each, and VIP tickets are 10 Lu coins each.

Karun bought 7 VIP tickets, spending 70 Lu coins, because VIP tickets do not enjoy children's ticket discounts.

Different colored tickets correspond to different areas. After entering, there are special people checking tickets and directing you to your own area. The VIP ticket location is in the front and center of the stage.

The area is here, but there will be no specific seat numbers on the tickets. There are benches in each area, and everyone in one area can sit wherever they want.

Karun chose to sit in the third row, sitting on the far left. Yunesi sat to his right, followed by Mina in order from left to right, and Alfred sat at the far right aisle.

The music was loud and rhythmic. A clown dressed person was holding a microphone and constantly doing position commands.

"Do you think it's noisy?" Karun asked Yunesi sitting next to him.

"No, I think it's lively and exciting." Yunesi smiled, "I've never been to such a lively place before."

Karun felt that what Yunesi meant by "lively" should be "down-to-earth."

Finally, the audience had sat down. The clown screamed into the microphone, intending to focus everyone's attention, but the speaker directly broke down, and the electric sound exploded.

The VIP tickets were in the front and closest to the speaker, equivalent to a sound wave attack.

Karun took a deep breath and looked at Yunesi and the children. He found that although they covered their ears, they were still laughing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the performance hall of the Kachilu Circus. The wonderful program is about to begin. The first to appear is Miss Luo Jia, who will bring you the famous song 'Luo Jia Lover'!"

A slightly plump female singer, wearing a tight blue costume and holding a microphone, walked to the center. With the accompaniment of the music, she began to sing passionately.

This song was created by a Rui Lanyi singer who was born in Luo Jia City but moved to Wein with his parents at the age of three. This song won an award at a music festival in Wein, although in the eyes of the circus from outside the city, this song should be a symbol of Luo Jia City, but locals in Luo Jia City have hardly heard this song.

In fact, the singer's singing skills were good, but the lyrics and melody of this song were a bit too ordinary, and everyone listened to it very boringly.

However, the purpose of the opening song is to ease the atmosphere, to comfort those impatient early-bird audiences and to give those who have not had time to buy tickets more time; after all, everyone came to watch the circus, not a concert.

In Karun's view, this speaker, this style, the frozen soil on the ground, and the surrounding crowd suddenly brought him into the atmosphere of the rural funeral music band in the previous life.

The female singer was very dedicated and even tried to interact with the audience during the performance. She even turned the microphone towards the audience, but how could everyone continue singing when they heard this song for the first time?

Fortunately, this song finally ended.

The female singer also breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to the audience:

"Thank you everyone!"

Immediately, the horses galloped as usual, circling around the stage, and the male and female acrobats on horseback began to perform various difficult movements. The audience immediately began to cheer, especially the children, who were screaming with excitement.

The circus performance has officially begun.Next, there was a animal training performance, where a lion was performing various actions under the command of the trainer, which looked very exciting.

At this time, Alfred, who was sitting at the far right aisle, turned his head and looked back at the entrance. Then he lowered his head and said to Lunt, who was fascinated by the circus next to him, "Lunt, Uncle will go out first. You sit tight and protect the sisters, understand?"

"Okay!"

Alfred glanced at Karun, who was sitting far away, hesitated for a moment, and decided to bend down and walk to Karun:

"Young Master, there is something outside. I'm going to check it out."

Karun frowned slightly and asked, "Is it serious?"

"I'm not sure, I'll go check it out."

"Do we need to go together?"

Karun 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, "Young Master, it's safe here because there are many people. I'll go out and check it myself."

"Okay."

Alfred walked out of the exit. Because most people were watching the performance inside, there were not many people outside except for those vendors and customers. However, Alfred still walked directly to a vendor's tent.

He lifted the curtain and saw a man dressed as a vendor lying on the ground. A woman was trying to pry open a savings box and cursing, "He died quickly, but where did he hide the key to the savings?"

In addition, there was an old man wearing a tattered leather jacket sitting on a small stool, holding a small knife in his hand, and tapping a piece of iron ring on his ring finger with the blade, making a crisp sound.

When Alfred came in, the old man raised his eyelids.

With just one glance, he directly brought great pressure to Alfred. In that instant, Alfred realized that the old man in front of him was an opponent he could not fight against.

And almost instinctively, he compared the old man in front of him with Dis.

The intuitive conclusion was that Dis was slightly more powerful.

Because Dis had given him a feeling that he could barely fight him with great effort.

Rasma threw the dagger in his hand in front of Alfred and said, "Dig out one of your own eyes for me, dig carefully and don't leave any scratches."

Alfred glanced at the woman who was still prying the lock.

The old man smiled and raised his hand, "Order - Cage."

In an instant, a black frame appeared around Alfred, completely isolating him inside, blocking all the abilities of the succubus eye.

Rasma was a high priest of the Order of the Gods. Below the temple, he was one of the most powerful speakers. When news spread that he was coming to Rulan, the managers of the Rulan district management office were also worried. When they saw him, they had to bow and respectfully call him "Lord Rasma."

Alfred could indeed ignore ordinary local judges, but the level of this one was much higher.

To some extent, he was one of the faces of the Order of the Gods in the secular world.

But at this moment, Alfred, who had almost given up hope, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He closed his hands together, "Praise Order."

Then, an identity certificate floated out of his pocket.

Rasma's gaze slightly condensed, and he opened his hand. The identity certificate fell into his hand, with the seal of the Rulan City Judgment Office of the Order of the Gods.However, for Lasma, the title was not something he cared too much about. What he cared about was the name behind the title: Dis Inmorales.

Lasma waved his hand and the cage disappeared. Alfred fell back to the ground and respectfully said, "My lord."

"Are you Dis's man?"

"Dis, the judge, is my direct superior."

"Ah..."

Lasma almost openly sighed and said straightforwardly, "I really like your eyes. I was originally planning to snatch them directly. After all, you are a demon and I am an enforcer."

Alfred remained silent.

"But since you are also a member of the Order of the Gods, I don't feel comfortable snatching them. But I can exchange something with you. I believe I can offer a price that will make you tempted, and you can use one eye to exchange with me voluntarily."

Alfred continued to be silent.

"But since you are Dis's subordinate, I can't do anything."

Alfred shouted in his heart, "Praise Dis!"

Lasma slapped his forehead and continued, "I used to think that I wasn't worse than Dis, at least not much worse, but later..."

Alfred said, "I am the same."

Lasma pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "He insulted the Order of the Gods."

"Yes, I will be responsible for dealing with it."

The hearse arrived just in time.

"Okay."

Lasma stood up and walked out of the tent. The woman who had been picking the lock finally opened it with a "pop."

Lasma looked at the big top of the circus in front of him. Since Dis's people were already here, he didn't need to care.

He originally wanted to suppress the emotional fluctuations caused by coming to Roja, but who would have thought that he had returned to the starting point.

He looked at the starry sky with some melancholy and shook his head as he walked out, "Ah, this day was wasted."

...

Inside the circus big top, the circus performance was still going on.

At this time, a live magic show was being performed. The magician was a man with a very delicate appearance, and every move he made seemed deliberately feminine.

If you observe carefully, you can find that he was actually the clown performer at the beginning of the show, but now he had removed his makeup.

The performance project was "Surviving Underwater". A glass container erected on the stage had been transported up, filled with water.

When the host announced the name of the performance project, Karun was a little surprised. Shouldn't it be called "Surviving Underwater"?

"Welcome our performer, Miss Mandila, to the stage!"

The magician pointed to the backstage, and a young girl in a skirt waved to the audience while walking to the magician's side.

Her smile was a bit restrained and unnatural, much more rigid than Mina, who he had asked to sit with Unis during the day.

Karun frowned slightly instinctively. This female performer named Mandila made him feel uncomfortable.

It wasn't that he had any opinions on her appearance, but as a member of the Inmorales family, he had been helping at home for the past few months, transporting corpses had become a habit, and he could even drive the hearse out of the garage.

Therefore, this female performer who stepped onto the stage gave Karun a sense of "familiarity."This smile, this texture, this gaze... If she wasn't moving, Karun would have thought she was a "guest" lying on a stretcher waiting to be sent to the afterlife.

Her expression and smile were just like the "gentle smile" that the husband of a client's wife requested at a funeral in the basement workshop that night, when Aunt Mary introduced him to Karun. Aunt Mary fixed the skin and flesh of the client's face with a stapler, creating an "exquisite smile."

Just like Miss Mandira's smile on stage now.

"Next, we invite a lucky audience member to come up and help us tie the rope."

The magician walked to the edge of the stage while speaking, looking for someone to pick. Since Karun was sitting in the VIP seat closest to the stage, the probability of being chosen was high.

The magician directly picked Yunes and pointed at her, saying into the microphone, "Can this beautiful lady come up and help us complete this great magic performance?"

Yunes waved her hand, indicating that she refused.

"Don't be shy, beautiful lady, please come up quickly. We are all waiting for you."

Yunes turned her head to look at Karun, seeming to be seeking his opinion, but seeing that Karun's expression was somewhat serious, she politely smiled and continued to shake her head to refuse.

"Is the gentleman sitting next to you your husband? Oh, then may I invite your husband to come up and help us complete this magic?"

Karun's gaze was fixed on Miss Mandira.

Miss Mandira still maintained the same "smile" as before, but she followed the magician's footsteps to change direction and made some movements. She even kept changing her posture with dance moves, relying on the water tank to show off the spring colors under her skirt from time to time. Adding some slightly erotic elements was normal for this kind of wild circus that targeted not only children but also adults.

"Sir, sir?"

The magician called Karun again.

But suddenly, a girl's voice came into Karun's ears, "I'm cold... I'm really cold..."

The voice was very weak, but in this noisy environment, it was so clear that for a moment, it seemed like a chill was sweeping over his hands and feet, making Karun shiver.

Since he couldn't get Karun's attention, the magician had to choose another middle-aged man sitting in the front row. The middle-aged man immediately agreed, climbed over the small railing, and went up to the stage.

"This gentleman, please come here." The magician pointed to him. "Mandira, come and welcome our guest performer."

Mandira walked towards the middle-aged man, and the two hugged. During the hug, the middle-aged man deliberately reached into Mandira's skirt and groped her. Many male audience members below immediately let out exaggerated screams and a series of whistles.

"Okay, sir, please come and help us tie the rope on her hands." The magician said.

The middle-aged man began to tie the rope, but he had no tying skills, just circling and knotting.

"Okay, now that the rope is tied, let's encourage our performer, Miss Mandira, to enter the water tank. Let's count down together!"

The magician, who was also a guest clown, jumped up and down, leading the audience to countdown together."Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

Miss Mandila jumped into the water tank.

"Wow!!!!!!!!!!"

The audience cheered.

"Hisss..."

But Karun gasped. He felt like he was the one who just jumped into the water.

"Karun, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?" Unis asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine. I'm fine."

Karun sat back down.

On stage, the magician began to lock the lid of the water tank with a large lock, and the audience could see Miss Mandila soaking in the water through the glass.

Her skirt floated up, revealing a pair of long, white legs, creating a strange and exciting scene.

She waved her hand and interacted with the audience in the water, still wearing her standard smile.

"Let's perform other acts first."

The magician took out a deck of cards and began to perform a simple and boring card magic trick. The audience had seen this kind of magic many times before and were not interested, but no one booed or protested.

Everyone was focused on Miss Mandila inside the water tank. When would she come out? How long could she hold her breath?

"It's cold...I'm so cold...it's really cold..."

The voice appeared in Karun's mind again.

The feeling reminded Karun of when he heard Mr. Mosang's crying from the basement of his house.

Miss Mandila was a corpse!

As Karun looked towards the water tank, Miss Mandila turned her body towards the direction where Karun was sitting.

"It's so cold...they keep putting me in the water...over and over again...so cold..."

"Who are you?" Karun asked in his mind.

"They call me...Mandila..."

"Who are they?"

"The leader...the magician...the owner who bought me from my parents...the person who drowned me in the water...the person who kept putting me in the water over and over again..."

Karun frowned. He instinctively wanted to escape from this eerie "communication" because he sensed a strong and complex emotion infecting him:

Confusion, suspicion, resentment, and a thick hatred that was almost dripping!

Karun was always sensitive to emotions. He didn't want to be influenced by other people's emotions, 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. This was the barrier of water and the obstruction of glass. All the figures outside seemed to be exaggerated and deformed.

But he still saw a group of familiar figures, those children...

Rent, Sarah, Chris, Mina, Unis...

He even saw himself sitting next to Unis!

Karun put his hands on the glass surface, feeling a strong sense of suffocation. This suffocation could not be described in words. What was even more terrifying was the despair that you would not die no matter how suffocated you were because you were already a dead person!

This was a kind of spiritual torture that surpassed human understanding, as if falling into the abyss of hell on earth.The audience cheered for Miss Mandira's actions, thinking that she was interacting with them with her delicate smile and tapping on the glass.

Karun blinked incessantly, wanting to leave his current state or else he would go crazy.

Finally, after blinking again, Karun's body trembled and his eyes returned to his seat.

"Karun? Are you okay? I called you and you didn't respond," said Unis as Karun hugged her, burying his face in her and touching her warm skin.

Unis was stunned but did not push him away, instead using her bag to block Karun's hand and shield the nearby audience's gaze. Her other hand held onto Karun's neck, and she pressed her face against his.

To outsiders, this was just a normal action of a couple sitting close.

Karun gasped for breath, hearing her voice and feeling her emotions. He even felt like he was seeing things from her perspective.

He had interacted with corpses before, but never like this, with such a strong sense of immersion.

Was it because she was originally an active corpse?

Was she different from the corpses he had awakened from stretchers or coffins?

Gradually, Karun's breathing became steady again, and Unis patted his back, sensing his previous emotional outburst.

Meanwhile, the audience's enthusiasm continued to rise as Miss Mandira had been in the water for too long, and the magician had already performed several long and boring magic tricks.

Suddenly, Miss Mandira floated up with her skirt covering her face, making everyone think she had drowned.

The magician finally opened the lock and lifted the cover of the water tank, revealing Miss Mandira, who raised her arms and did a ballet dance in the water.

The audience cheered, and the atmosphere in the circus tent reached its peak.

As Karun turned his face towards the stage, a deep chill flowed through his eyes, and he silently spoke a wordless phrase."Go to hell."

Miss Mandira was performing a dance pose while accepting the cheers from the audience. Suddenly, she reached out and hugged the magician who was standing on the ladder next to her, taking off his hat to the audience.

"Plunk!"

The magician also fell into the water.

Miss Mandira lifted her long skirt in the water, completely covering the magician's face. She even leaned on him, pressing him down.

The magician's hands were frantically grabbing and touching the female performer's body, even more presumptuous than the middle-aged audience member who had helped him on stage before!

In the eyes of the audience, this was the next round of performance. The magician and the actress were performing a passionate scene in the water tank!

"Ooh, oh, oh, oh!!!"

"Fantastic, fantastic, really fantastic!"

"This ticket is worth it, worth it!"

"Great, so beautiful!"

No one cared how long the female performer and the magician had embraced in the water tank. It didn't matter how long it took, right? The female performer had stayed in the water tank for so long before, and nothing happened, right?

Everyone just cheered, communicated, and vented the hormones stimulated by this scene. They secretly decided that after the performance ended, they would go to the tent of the Chaser girls to vent!

In the water tank, the magician's hands had stopped struggling, and his face covered by the skirt was frozen in a frightened expression forever.

But Mandira still hugged him tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

In the audience seat, Karun finally realized how inappropriate his actions were, and sat up.

"Are you feeling better, Karun?" Eunice didn't question Karun's actions just now, but showed concern.

Karun nodded and whispered to Eunice, "Thank you."

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