At the moment when the clock hand on the wall pointed to six o'clock, the lights of the "Fraor" bar suddenly became dim, the spotlight shone obliquely above the stage, and the curtain rose slowly on the stage as the music flowed, and everyone was attracted by this scene.

There is no introduction from the host, but everyone has realized that the next performance is the magicians of the "Joker Magic Troupe", and everyone in the audience is looking forward to the next performance with bated breath, and even the voice of whispered conversation is much quieter.

Under the red curtain, five magicians lined up in the center of the stage, several people of different shapes all wearing clown masks, no one knew what they looked like under the masks, but it was not difficult to see from the shapes that these people included an old man, a woman, a middle-aged man and a teenager.

Of course, standing in the middle of the five was clearly the magician, and the gray rabbit on his shoulder was easily recognizable.

"You're there!!" Al stared at Kasa's face as if he was about to remove the mask, "The back door of the 'Furaor' bar has been tightly guarded by Andre, you don't want to get out of here tonight." ”

At the same time that Al was turning the mini-telems to silent, a pale blue dot of light was dancing rhythmically on the top of a tall building at the back door of the bar.

Dressed in a black night suit, André blends perfectly with the night, and at this time he is aiming at the back door of the lantern and the nearby area where he may escape with the sniper rifle that had wounded Newcastle, this powerful firearm has been authorized by the Anglo Master to be kept by André since the last time it shined, and the sniper rifle with red and blue stripes on the body of the gun also has a hidden name - "Orion".

And now, the "Orion" sniper rifle, which has been equipped with scopes by the Ministry of Armed Forces, is even more powerful with Andrey's high-tech glasses, and almost no one can dodge the powerful bullets that are enough to penetrate the steel plates.

The atmosphere in the bar was slightly hot, and there were five large rectangular chests in the open space behind the "Joker Magic Troupe", and above each alley was a humanoid figure with his hands crossed over his chest, resembling the mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, which seemed to be one of the props for their magic show.

On the table on the side of the box were dozens of glittering steel knives, lying quietly on the table.

"Lee, maybe you're right," Al whispered to Li Shiyi beside him, "Maybe the Raven Organization's long-planned plan this time is not just as simple as assassinating Cook, but it is obviously a task of the headquarters but it is handed over to the assassins of the branch to carry out, no matter how far-fetched it is, in any way, the assassins of the headquarters of Xinlan City have the advantage." ”

"Well, there's just no solid evidence to confirm my suspicion, so let's hope it's just a conjecture. ”

"I wonder if this confirms your suspicions?" As the two were talking in a whisper, a familiar voice came from behind them.

Al and Li Shiyi turned around at the same time, only to see the slim Freya standing behind them, unlike before, this time she was not wearing that strange purple suit, but wearing the uniform of the Imperial Military Academy, her snow-white long legs were exposed, and there was a touch of innocence in the royal sister's wind.

"Sister Freya, how are you..."

"Stop, don't ask me questions yet, listen to me," Freya held up a hand to stop Al from continuing, "This is what Mr. Conrad just gave me, you can take a look." ”

"What is this?"

Al took a folded piece of paper and opened it in confusion.

"'Wanbang Lantern Festival' Royal Parade Roadmap?!" Li Shiyi recognized the content drawn on the letter paper at a glance.

"That's right! Max was supposed to deliver the letter to you, but Mr. Conrad has given him a more important task on the other hand, so I'll pass it on to you. ”

Freya kept the volume low, keeping the dim environment as low as possible that only the three of them could hear.

"Is there anything wrong with this picture?"

"Have you seen those red spots, since Li Shiyi described that bold idea to Teacher Conrad last night, the teacher has been ambushing in the hidden place of the parade route with the first and second teams of the special squad of the Ministry of Armed Forces all day today, and there are really amazing discoveries. ”

Hearing this, Li Shiyi and Al glanced at each other, and the solemnity on their faces was no less than what they had seen in an earth-shattering scene.

"Go on. Li Shiyi said.

"A large number of crows have been found in these places, and there is no doubt that these surges in crows must have something to do with the 'crow incident'. ”

"In other words, the real purpose of the Raven Organization from the beginning to the end may not be as simple as making trouble in the Sea Prison, but to sabotage the 'Wanbang Lantern Festival'," Al unconsciously lowered his voice, "or even assassinated members of the royal family. ”

Freya gave Al and Li Shiyi a deep look, and she nodded deeply in affirmation of Al's thoughts.

"So, there must be strong guards in tonight's parade, right?"

"The crusader major Feynman is in charge, and there is a deputy sergeant major 'Brute Bull' accompanying him, plus Queen Catherine's personal guard and the elite soldiers of the Crusaders, as well as the strong men representing the 'Holy Church', I believe that even if the Raven Organization dares to plot against it, it will only be a false alarm. ”

"What a big game. Al couldn't help but sigh.

"You don't have to worry about this, in short, the purpose of my visit this time is to tell you to make sure that there is no big mess on the side of the Sea Boundary Prison, if the purpose of the Raven really succeeds, in less than two days, the rumors of the attack on the imperial capital of the Josephs Empire will spread all over the continent, and I am afraid that all the people related to this matter will not be able to escape at that time." ”

"One thing I must also tell you, we only have one hour, if we can't stop the Raven's assassination plan at the 'Fraor' bar, then Mr. Conrad's side will have to inform the Sea Prison, in order to ensure the success of this mission, this hour is the maximum time that Mr. Conrad can fight for us. ”

It was at this moment that the "Joker Magic Troupe" on the stage packed the hat into one of the wooden boxes in full view, and then put the five wooden boxes together like nesting dolls, and then each of them held two steel knives and inserted them into the holes in the wooden boxes without hesitation.

Many audience members couldn't bear to turn their heads sideways when they saw this scene, squinting at everything that happened on the stage, but the bloody picture of blood splashing did not appear, and the steel knife was extracted intact after insertion, and there was not even a trace of blood on the blade.

The five wooden boxes were opened layer by layer, and the Kasa came out of the boxes in a complete way, only looking a little weird and indescribable.

For a while, the bar's applause came and went, and the sound of joyful applause and staggered cups echoed around.

It's just that what almost everyone didn't notice was that the gray rabbit on Kasa's shoulder had disappeared, as if the world had evaporated.

With a "Teng", Li Shiyi suddenly stood up from his seat, which startled Al and Freya on the side.

"We're still careless!" Li Shiyi said.

"What's going on?"

Al and Freya also stood up uneasily, looking at Li Shiyi's blurred face.

"This person who came out of the box is not Kasa!" Li Shiyi frowned, his cold eyes swept over the stage, "Not even a person!"

"What did you say?" Freya looked shocked, "It's not a human, is it a ghost?"

"It's not human, none of these five guys are human!" Al finished his "breath" cast and returned to his normal state, "We've all been fooled by Kasa, this isn't a 'Joker Magic Troupe' at all, they're all puppets!"

As everyone knows, at this time, Mr. Moby Dick, who was sitting on the observation deck on the second floor, was watching everything that happened to Al and them with Manager Meiya.

"I didn't want to believe such a thing, but the facts are in front of me, and I can only say that I blame me for believing in the two of them too much before. Moby Dick put the champagne in his hand on the table, he was not in the mood to continue drinking.

"This kind of thing is inevitable, but fortunately, everything is under Daddy's control, and none of these little ones want to leave here today. The curvature of the corners of Meiya's mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of danger.

"You don't want to get rid of them all, do you?" said Moby Dick, "According to Zeta's investigation, they are both students of the Imperial Military Academy, and Daddy doesn't want to get into trouble like that, and besides, those two little ones are quite likable despite their identities, and it would be nice if they joined the ravens as well." ”

A trace of regret flashed in Moby Dick's eyes, and it could be seen that after these days of getting along, he liked these two little guys as much as the girls of the "Girl Group", until a few minutes ago he didn't want to believe that Meiya's words were true, but the scene in front of him had to be denied by him.

At this point, Al and Lee Eleven, along with Freya, who were downstairs, walked around the gloomy place towards the empty rooms behind the stage, apparently running for the vanished Kasa, which not only led to the prop room but also went upstairs.

Seeing the three of them disappear from sight, Mr. Moby Dick and Manager Meiya did not stop them, but instead watched the magic show on the stage, and looked relaxed and confident.

"Aren't you going to stop them?" Moby Dick looked a little bored with his left hand propping up his head, "Most of the 'Girls Band' are waiting in the background, ready to be dispatched at any time. ”

"Let your precious 'princesses' have a good rest, the work in the bar tonight is not easy, and I still don't bother them to do it," Meiya smiled lightly, "As for those three little ones, naturally someone will deal with them." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to take their lives to fight against the huge Imperial Military Academy, after all, that reckless old ruffian is someone that even Daddy doesn't want to provoke easily," Mei Ya stroked a strand of broken hair from her ear, charming and moving, "Tonight, just trap them here and don't disturb Kasa's actions." ”
