In an atmosphere of faint sadness, Al and Li Shiyi saw off several female drinkers who were about to leave for a long time, although their backs were poignant when they met, but they were smiling when they parted.

Maybe the people who have fulfilled the long-cherished wish in their hearts are happy, and the thoughts that have nowhere to put them finally erupted into the most beautiful flower, drifting away with the wind in the direction of the border pass.

Coincidentally, the stage play "Les Miserables" on the stage ends in the tragic death of the protagonist Valjean, and the marriage of Cosette and her boyfriend.

"Savadicka, my friend borrowed it from earlier, you two are in the way. ”

A strange voice came from behind Al and Li Shiyi, almost like a female monkey talking.

Al turned his head in confusion, only to see two men in condoms standing behind them, and from a distance he thought they were two sacks.

"Gentile?" Al muttered to himself, "this is a very unique outfit. ”

"I'm sorry," Al politely dodged away, "please forgive me for coming from afar. ”

"No, it's blocking our young lady's way, is it just an apology?" The man in the blue suit didn't let go, but his voice was somewhat unnatural.

The girl in the purple sleeve glared at the blue sleeve helplessly, obviously she was not satisfied with the performance of the blue sleeve just now.

"Hmm, what do you want?" Al had a polite smile on his face, but his heart was already nervous, it seemed that these two people were not good here.

Li Shiyi put his hands in his pockets, just glanced at the strange two casually, but did not answer, his cold and handsome figure attracted the attention of many young girls passing by.

"What is the value of the two of you, and we also want the same service as the women just now. The purple sleeve smiled playfully.

"I think you may have misunderstood, this Gentile lady, that we are just friends with the female drinkers just now, and not as complicated as you think. ”

"Oh, really? Why am I a little unconvinced?"

"Have you had enough of it? ”

Li Shiyi frowned and looked at the three of them, as the pedestrians around became more and more dense, even the security personnel at the entrance of "Fraor" noticed the situation here, or Li Shiyi gave them a look, so as not to attract inquiries from the security personnel.

"Lee, what do you mean?" said Al, confused.

"It's a disappointment. ”

The girl in the purple sleeve finally stopped speaking that weird language, she glanced at Li Shiyi, showing her full royal sister style, and this was also an immediate reaction to Al.

"Division... Freya... Why are you here?" Al lowered his voice, "This blue guy can't be Andre, right?"

"Hehe, it's me—" Andre wanted to cry a little, he was completely under Freya's pressure to agree to this absurd thing.

"How did you pick out such ugly clothes?"

Andre quietly flashed to the side and looked at Freya secretly, as if to say that it was none of my business, and it was all the attention of this "eldest lady".

"What?," Freya's fist-clenching voice came from under the purple sleeve, "This is the traditional dress of our country, do you think it's ugly?!"

"No, no, no," Al hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "I mean Andre looks ugly, 'big sister', you wear it, of course, it's beautiful, and the style is graceful..."

"What does it have to do with me?!" Andrei was bitter.

Li Shiyi shook his head helplessly, he really didn't have time to deal with these nervous guys, because his falcon-like sharp eyes had already passed through the drinkers and landed on the stage where the lights were gradually dimming.

"Be quiet!" Li Shiyi reminded with a serious face, "After waiting for so long, the prey has finally appeared!"

The conversation stopped abruptly, and the three of them immediately fell silent, and their eyes looked in unison at the inside of the Fraor's Bar, where they saw a man standing in the center of the stage with his back to the audience.

It was a gentlemanly man, he was wearing a black tuxedo, a top hat, and a pair of white gloves on his hands, but the strange thing was that the face was painted with clown makeup, and the original solemn style formed a huge visual gap with the funny face, and there was a fluffy gray rabbit on his shoulder, which was lazily watching the curious drinkers.

The young man he hadn't met for a long time was none other than the mysterious magician, Kasa.

"Hello distinguished guests, some of you may have seen me perform before, but today's special will definitely be an eye-opener for you," the Joker's gloomy smile made people feel a little uncomfortable, "I forgot to tell you my other name, remember, my name is Joker, the Clown Emperor of the magic world." ”

With that said, Kasa holds a playing card in one hand and a dagger in the other, and his arms are crossed in an "X" shape in front of his chest, while the crimson curtain behind him unfolds at the right time, behind which are eight dancers in the shape of geese, each dressed in costume and standing motionless, all of them with their heads and arms bowed, quietly like puppet dolls in the exhibition hall.

The clown-clown-clown spun gracefully in place, dancing lightly, and four playing cards and four short daggers between his fingers shot out at the eight corresponding dancers.

The audience was stunned by this crazy move, they did not expect this magician to kill in public, but fortunately, most of the drinkers were rich merchants and aristocrats who had been in and out of high-end establishments all year round, so no one screamed because of Kasa's dangerous movements, but there were always some people who made a lot of noise with the mentality of watching the excitement.

Instead of hitting the eight dancers as they had guessed, the flying cards and daggers flew around their vital points in an extremely strange arc, almost flying over their heads.

"Click, click," a series of inaudible voices rang out one after another, and then the eight dancers raised their heads as if they had "come to life", and there was no light in their hollow eyes.

"Enjoy, puppet waltz. ”

Kasa smiled, the perfect combination of gentleman and clown mixed temperament did not conflict with each other and was undoubtedly revealed in his body.

The famous waltz "Blue Danube" hovers melodiously in the lobby of the "Fraor" bar with the end of the gas, and the excitement is followed by surprises and joys, and the magician perfectly controls the atmosphere of the scene.

The white trailing dress and the elegant black suit dance like the black swan and the white swan dancing hand in hand on the frozen lake, and the dancers' movements are standard and uniform under the dreamlike lights.

"Is this guy so powerful? No wonder so far he has only suspected that he is the murderer behind the scenes, and no direct evidence can be found, it seems that the magician's mind is not ordinarily meticulous. ”

Freya reclined in her chair, and through the only hole in her purple sleeve, she watched intently at the scene on the dance floor, with Andre, Al, and Lee Eleven sitting around her.

"Manipulating so many lifeless marionettes at the same time, without a pair of perverted hands, I'm afraid everything is just a fantasy. ”

Li Shiyi said leisurely, he had been carefully observing every small movement on the hands of the hat, perhaps most people did not notice the silk threads connected to the dancer's body as thin as a cow's hair, but all this did not escape Li Shiyi's eyes.

"Is it a puppet again?" Al said with an unkind look on his face as he stared at Kasa on stage, "This guy always likes to play this weird trick. ”

"Yes, there is no heat coming out of the bodies of those so-called 'dancers'," Andre pushed his high-tech glasses into his forehead hair, "Although they look almost indistinguishable from ordinary humans, they are actually just puppets, but I have to say that this magician is really good at depicting the shape of puppets to such a detailed extent, even enough to make them real." ”

Not only the Gentiles, but even the local drinkers of Xinlan City sincerely admired the magician's ingenious skills, and even some magic-obsessed lovers called Kasa "the wandering god of the world", all of which is enough to show that this unknown magician brought a dreamlike shock to the locals at the beginning.

"There's one thing I want to tell you, and it might help you in the direction of your investigation. ”

Freya deliberately shy away from this kind of male and female dance performance, and it was only then that she finally began to explain her purpose to Al and Li Shiyi.

Al and Li Shiyi retracted their gaze and focused on what Freya was going to say next, and it had to be said that the investigation mission of the "Fraor" bar had made the two young people, especially Al, more mature.

Then Freya took out a crumpled piece of yellow paper from under the purple sleeve and unfolded it in front of Al and Li Shiyi, with dozens of words and a painting that was really not flattering written on it.

"When did this happen?!" Al asked as he skimmed through it quickly, immediately holding his voice down.

Not long ago, this notice was posted on the bulletin board of the administrative district, because it is related to the Sea Boundary Prison, so we specially came to remind you, maybe it can come in handy.

Li Shiyi calmly picked up the yellow paper, and the content of the announcement on it made Li Shiyi, who had always been cold, unable to help but be moved, his brows frowned for a while, stretched for a while, but he never said a word.

"On the occasion of the Imperial Celebration, the Sea Prison should make its own contribution to this solemn event, so we have decided to execute ten female prisoners who have deceived the public today, all of them from the 'Rhine Monastery', this decision of the Sea Prison is not only to set an example and make the future of the 'Rhine Monastery' brighter, but also to worship the great god and pray that he will continue to protect the great Josephic Empire. ”

"These fools, at such a juncture, do they think their lives are not long enough?!" Al said indignantly, a sense of foreboding looming over him like a dark cloud.
