The brown, icy pupils seemed to be on fire when they looked at him.

This was just a momentary change, and soon disappeared under the sunlight. When Kou Dong looked at the past, the beauty snake was still the pupil of an ordinary person, nothing surprising. If it wasn't for his and Ye Yanzhi's eyes just now Waiting for this moment without blinking, Kou Dong almost thought he was hallucinating.

Beauty Snake is still singing. The place where his arms should have been born was smooth and clean. Although there was no sign of disability, there were no two arms that should have been sticking out. When he finished singing this song carefully, the surrounding cheers and applause continued, shouting that there would be another song.

He refused to sing any more, only smiled in the cage and said, "Thank you, uncles, I want to show you something new today."

Kou Dong suddenly glanced at the two people beside him, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

After a while, a boy with a head twice the size of an ordinary person and a body as skinny as a pole, came out from behind the door with a rope in his hand. Everyone in the audience probed and knew that this big-headed doll was originally in the circus, and this was not the most bizarre, and no one thought it was strange. They held their palms and waited for the things tied to the rope.

"Pull it out!"

"Pull it out!!"

The big-headed doll pulled the thing out from behind the door with a little force. The thing was covered in brown-yellow hair, whimpered and clawed at the crack of the door, unwilling to let go of its claws, until it was beaten by the big-headed doll with the reins, and then it cried out in pain and was dragged out.

When he was lying on the ground, everyone saw clearly that it was a dog.

It's just that this dog is bigger than ordinary people, and the toes on the front are far longer than ordinary dogs, and it has a short tail.

It's just a dog, nothing out of the ordinary, and viewers can't help but feel disappointed.

The big-headed doll seemed to be aware of it, and the rope in his hand was pulled again, forcing the dog to raise its head. Only then did the spectators realize that

If you look closely, you can see that the whole body is covered with hair, but it has a human-like face!

Eyes, eyebrows, nose... all are clear, if not for some hair covering the face, it is no different from ordinary people!

Everyone present was shocked, and then clapped their hands and called Miao. Beauty Snake smiled, but she was not in a hurry, and said, "Next, let him sing a song for everyone..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the dog crawling forward and went in one direction. Someone in the crowd let out a scream, one staggered, and staggered back, as if the sky had seen a ghost.

"Ah! Don't come...don't come!"

She was in a hurry and almost fell, "Get away from me... Get out of here!"

"..."

It was only then that Kou Dong realized that Xiao Yu had also stood in the crowd at some point, probably attracted by the singing voice just now. Now he looked around and saw that there were a lot of beggars among these people, some with panicky expressions and some expressionless ones, but he seemed to be used to seeing them.

A Xue frowned, but felt bad, "She's retreating too obviously."

It's not that she must do something to Xiao Yu. After all, the scene in front of her is really terrifying. It's not a human being or a dog or a dog, and it's not necessarily possible to be someone else without fear—

It's just that there is a friendship in reality, and the performance of being so evasive makes the little girl feel somewhat uncomfortable.

The little fat man who was made into a singing dog suddenly stopped, as if it were incredible.

He paused on the spot, then timidly waved his tail twice, still crawling towards Xiao Yu.

……help me.

Tears welled slowly in his eyes.

help me……

Xiao Yu couldn't care less. She watched the monster with tangled hair approaching her, there was still a strong stench all over her body, she just felt disgusting and could no longer do anything else. No matter how righteous and awe-inspiring she said in front of A Xue before, she was just a girl who was usually spoiled. She had never been devastated by wind and rain. How could she have seen the current scene?

When she smoked the wooden man, the singing dog was only a vague concept; now, the monster is at her feet.

Is this her lover?

...how could this be her lover!

She screamed, fearing that she would be caught by him, and in extreme panic, she jumped on her foot, used all her strength, and kicked him a few times.

"Go away...go away!"

No one else dared to stop them, they all moved aside, watching the dog suddenly attack a beggar for unknown reasons. On the contrary, the big-headed doll snorted and pulled the singing dog back with force.

"Let you sing," he said laboriously, "what are you doing so far?"

The singing dog struggled desperately, unable to break free from the power in his hands, and fell heavily on the ground, as if his heart was ashes. Kou Dong looked at him and felt unbearable, and frowned.

Ye Yanzhi reminded him in a low voice, "Look at that snake."

……snake?

Kou Dong turned his gaze to the beautiful snake in the cage. At this glance, he suddenly shuddered, and the hair on his back floated.

He is laughing.

The beautiful snake smiled happily. He stared at Xiao Yu who stumbled and stumbled away after throwing off the dog with gloomy eyes. His red mouth was grinned deeply, revealing the snow-white teeth shining with cold light inside.

Ye Yanzhi: "And that big-headed doll—"

Except for the singing dog, they were all laughing. Their laughter was so deep, it was as if they had seen the most exciting drama in the world.

Kou Dong suddenly had a bad guess, he glanced at Ye Yanzhi.

The villain also read his mind and whispered, "She shouldn't survive tonight."

Xiao Yu has been completely targeted by the circus.

Next, the circus opens its doors and goes into business. Many of the people who had just watched the wonderful scenes took out their money and entered one by one. Someone at the door greeted them cheerfully, kept bowing and saluting, and led the guests in. The sound of lively silk and bamboo could be vaguely heard - if you don't know. What is on display inside, this scene is like any ordinary store, but it is just a gathering of guests.

The three of Kou Dong didn't look anymore. They were beggars now, and they couldn't get into the circus. They turned around and walked in the direction they came from.

It was just the scene just now that made the three of them suspicious.

"...It doesn't make sense." Song Hong whispered, "If the circus can make so much money, why would he let us beg?"

Compared to the big and small rain of silver money that they had just seen, the money that dozens of them could get from the street was really very little. He also didn't understand that since he had already made such a living, why would he hold on to the beggar's pile.

Can't it be a sudden discovery of conscience, and the end of the bitter sea to turn back to the shore?

Axue shook her head and said, "You can't think too much of them. It's not difficult to explain. Since they don't do it, it must be because it's too difficult."

Song Hong: "What do you mean?"

"It means that it's too difficult to make such an exhibit successfully," the little girl said in a low voice, "You see how scared the children in that room are, you should know that they are not just afraid of being turned into monsters."

She missed the point.

"—they should still be afraid of death."

Song Hong was taken aback for a moment, and then he was also stunned. Looking at the posture in the morning, it is obvious that there are not many children who are forced to smoke the wooden man. Every time someone enters the circus, the kidnappers will abduct some new ones from this place, and carry them to the next place to continue begging and driving. Circus... Year after year, a circus should have a large number of people.

But when I watched it in the morning, there were only seven or eight people who came out of the circus in the yard, and I am afraid there were only those seven or eight.

The rest of...

He shuddered a little.

"The rest are leftovers," the little girl said. "The probability of such a finished product is probably very low."

Kou Dong glanced at her and found that the little girl was especially capable of digging out the evil in people's hearts.

Ye Yanzhi sat on his shoulders, but he rarely agreed, "She's very smart."

Even if you don't understand the reason, you can guess it by just relying on intuition.

Lying beside Kou Dong's ear, he briefly explained this passage, "Yuan Mei's "Zibuyu" has a singing dog, and he said that he needs to use medicine to rot his skin and remove it, and then use dog hair to burn ashes and apply medicine on it. , taking medicine orally to calm the sores, then the body will grow dog hair and the tail will come out, just like a dog. This method can't live a single life... Killing children is infinite, and it becomes this dog."

Kou Dong pursed his lips, feeling disgusted. After a few minutes, he thought about this sentence carefully, and felt that it was wrong.

He lowered his voice and asked softly, "According to this method, wouldn't it take ten days and a half months?"

The little man said: "Yes."

Kou Dong stopped abruptly, only to feel a chill in his heart, "But he was just taken away this morning."

There are two possibilities. One is that the dungeon shortens the production time of each exhibit in order to speed up the progress of the game and to give them a bloody example; the other possibility is that the people in this circus...

Not human at all.

He remembered again the brown eyes that were slowly pulled into vertical pupils in front of him.

Transformation can only change the fur, but not the human eye.

Unless that's not change at all, but...

Kou Dong had a strong intuition, he suddenly turned his head and said, "I'll go back and take a look."

Song Hong was inexplicable and asked, "What's the matter?—Let's go with you?"

Kou Dong waved his hand hastily, said "just take a look", and hurriedly ran back. When he ran to the door of the circus, the people gathered in front of the door had almost entered. Only three or two people who had no money were still poking their heads and trying to enter, but they were stopped by the guards and had to let go. The beauty snake and the big-headed doll just now disappeared, and Kou Dong stopped abruptly and calmed down his breath.

The door was almost closed. He couldn't get in without fifteen silver dollars in his hand.

He was thinking about whether to lose his integrity and use this face to act cute and coquettish with the doorman.

I just don't know what the consequences will be...

While thinking about it, a soft and slender hand suddenly stuck out from the door.

How fine is it?

Kou Dong had never seen such a hand before, it seemed that there was no flesh at all, only a thin layer of skin - it barely rested on the jagged skeleton, almost all protruding bones could be seen, section after section, As long as chopsticks.

The pale hand reached out and slowly clasped it on the scarlet door. Immediately, an eye popped out from the crack of the door.

Brown-black, ordinary eyes.

Kou Dong looked at him as soon as he raised his head. Those eyes fixedly looked at him from behind the door, blinked again, and asked, "Are you also here to watch the show?"

The voice seemed to be very unaccustomed to speaking, and the words always seemed to be muttering, with a slight nasal tone.

Kou Dong shook his head and turned over his empty pockets to show him.

"I have no money."

His brown-black eyes glanced up and down at him, and he asked in a different way, "Do you want to come to the show too?"

More slowly appeared in the crack of the door. The hand spread out towards Kou Dong, and the person inside looked at him.

"Come on," he said, "you can come without money."

Kou Dong glanced at the guard next to him. Unexpectedly, the guard who had kicked out a few poor people just now seemed to have not seen him, this little beggar at all, and still stood by the door as always, with no intention of stepping forward to stop him. He hesitated for a moment and took a step towards the Zhumen.

The door was luxurious and luxurious, painted red all over, and there were two protruding copper lions on it as knockers. If it weren't for the insider, no one would know that this was actually done here, and would only think that this was a wealthy family.

The Zhu door gradually opened halfway, and the hand sticking out from inside grabbed Kou Dong's wrist firmly and dragged him in. After Kou Dong got into the door, he realized who was pulling him just now.

I've seen it before, it's the big-headed doll just now.

Looking closer, his head was bigger and more conspicuous, almost square. The rest of the body is slender and out of shape, and even walking is not stable, and it looks extremely uncoordinated.

But with such a body, when he was pulling the singing dog, it could be said that Kong Wu was powerful.

The big-headed doll dragged him and said, "Come on, the show will start soon."

He couldn't help but drag Kou Dong and walked into the deep courtyard behind him. In front of you is a large screen with twelve fans. At first glance, the drawing on it is an ordinary pattern of flowers, birds, insects and fish. If you look closely, you will find that those flowers, birds, insects and fish all have a human face, whether laughing or angering, all kinds of strange.

Going further inside, a simple wooden stage was set up inside, with dozens of wooden chairs in front. Nowadays, the wooden chairs are full of people, and the people standing around are also full of people. The crowd is lively watching and watching, with gongs and drums in their ears, there is a thin wire on the top of the head, and another big-headed doll is standing on the wire. one end, and walked crookedly toward the other end.

Their bodies were not quite balanced, and every step they walked was thrilling, swaying from side to side, as if they could fall down at any moment. Kou Dong heard the exclamations of the audience, louder than louder, and was obviously worried.

There were also people who rejoiced, whistling or deliberately making noises to scare him. Seeing his situation, Kou Dong only felt critical, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it very dangerous for him to perform this?"

Pulling his big head doll, he looked up and looked up, there was no turbulence on his face, it seemed to be commonplace.

"Nothing." He said lightly, "Only a big head, of course not - we also have to have other skills."

Otherwise, even the circus would be uneasy.

He took Kou Dong to the corner, and he could see the backstage in the distance. After walking the tightrope, Renxiong strode onto the stage, holding a torch in his hand, and suddenly spewed out a fire, the fire was so great that it burned orange-red——

This is the official start of the performance.

Since then, members of the circus have taken turns playing.

The Rat Beauty drags her long tail and crawls in the fire ring; the Vase Beauty can only sit in the vase, stick her head out from the thin neck of the bottle, and sing a little song intermittently; Dressed up in Tsing Yi, he sang a twisted ditty in a thick voice, which made everyone laugh; the singing dog was led by people, walked in front of the crowd, and was taught to hold it in his arms, like an ordinary puppy. There were also two-headed, broken-armed, legless, and long-tailed people, either incomplete or grotesque, with wrinkled and wrinkled skin on their faces, trembling and bowing to everyone.

This scene is really full of ghosts and ghosts, like a scene that only appears in the night tour of a hundred ghosts. The sound of the suona is deafening, or the sound of the flute is lingering and resentful, one after another, one after another, the world comes on stage one after another, and the anger, laughter, and scolding are all on this square-inch stage. The audience's voice became louder and louder, and they were almost drunk. They were shocked by this unprecedented and unheard of drama and could only shout loudly.

……Okay?

Kou Dong saw his hands and feet get cold. He watched the group of monsters with human faces but no longer humanoids trying their best to please the audience, and listening to the sound of the opera, which seemed to be resentful and sad, it was as if he had fallen into a deep pool, and it became difficult to breathe. He opened his mouth and gasped desperately, so that he could calm down from the scene in front of him and offset the resentment and hatred that was surging in his heart.

Ye Yanzhi hugged him silently, as if comforting.

The big-headed doll beside him turned his head. He looked at Kou Dong, the corners of his lips slowly opened, and he said, "Do you think it's okay?"

Kou Dong took a little effort and finally shook his head.

"Not good," he whispered, "not good."

The big-headed doll's smile deepened.

"Is it not good?"

He stretched out his thin fingers and stroked Kou Dong's face, "But I think it's fine. We're all together, isn't that bad?"

Kou Dong vaguely felt that he was crazy, how could any normal person think this is good!

He is not a villager who was deceived, but someone who knew the inside story-since he knew the inside story, how could he think that such a strange thing was beautiful or strange?

The emotion on his face may have been too obvious. The big-headed doll opened his mouth and suddenly sighed in a low voice, saying, "What a pity..."

He rubbed Kou Dong's cheeks, his eyes indescribably obsessed.

"If you came, we wouldn't make you into this. You're so pretty, you should be whole..."

His mouth was wide open, and he smiled extremely happily.

"We'll put your ears, we'll put your tails-"

"From now on, you're one of us. - You'll be an obedient, nice-furred rabbit, okay?"

Kou Dong was forced to take a step back by the maliciousness in those words.

His eyes drooped down unconsciously, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, and when he looked again, he realized that there was something missing on the ground. The ground is flat and flat, without the slightest trace, what is missing...

What was missing was the shadow of the big-headed doll in front of him.

Kou Dong finally knew where the sense of disobedience came from.

From the very beginning, the members of this circus were dead - those who just performed for him, those who talked to him, those who stood on the stage to attract guests...

They are all a group of evil spirits who hold grudges and want to take revenge on this Taoyuan Town!

The author has something to say:

Ye Yanzhi: It's a ghost, what should do?

Kou Dong: (Silently takes out Mao Gai and Ma Yuan)...
