Chapter 9: Performance

"Who said you wanted to go out early!" I retorted, "It's unfamiliar here, and even if we die here, no one will know, and besides, I always think it's weird!" ”

"If you don't go, I'll go, it must be fun there, hehe", Da Shuai was really lame, limping with the crowd in that direction.

"Hey! You wait for me! "I chased after him, too.

It seems that the whole village has passed, and it is not the same thing for me to find the exit alone, and there is no one to ask for directions, so it is better to go with Dashuai now.

Everyone walked to a courtyard, there was a vermilion door in front of the courtyard, looking at the quiet surroundings, and the courtyard was very lively, I couldn't help but walk in......

"Well, all the people are here", there were two people standing at the door, and as soon as I entered, one of them said this, and slammed the door shut, locking it.

Feeling a little weird, I pushed the door down and it was locked!

"I want to go out to the bathroom!" I said carefully to those two men.

The two of them, one of them missing a nose and a hand, and there was a black hole in the middle of their whole face, and there was still not a little blood coming out of it. The other person did not have one eye and the entire chin was missing.

In fact, along the way, I have become very accustomed to seeing such people, who are either bitten by dogs or pecked by chickens.

"There's a bathroom inside, you go in and turn right", the man has a missing chin, and his speech seems to be a little leaky, looking weird and funny.

"But...... I've got something left out there, I'm going to go get it! "I still insisted on going out, locked inside, and I had a sense of foreboding.

"Let's take it after watching the show, there is the world's top magic show, after it starts, you can't communicate between the inside and the outside, and you can only go out after the show, please understand", they are polite. But the attitude is very firm, I must not go out!

"Ruolan, what are you doing at the door, come on!" The big marshal limped from the front. He took my hand and walked towards the place where the people had gathered, his face full of excitement like the people here.

I'm curious, what magic is worth looking forward to? Also the world's top ......

It was a gazebo with a large black cloth behind it. There was a circle of people sitting under the pavilion, and a circle of people standing behind them, all staring at the gazebo in front of them with wide eyes.

Suddenly, a man emerged from the middle of the black cloth, without a nose, only a black hole, and without an arm on one side of his body from his shoulder.

How is he? The person I saw at the door just now, I always thought he was a guard, is he the host? However, there is a host who closes the door by himself?

"Hello everyone. Welcome to the 'World's Best Magic' show today......"

"Hahaha, it turns out that the name of magic is 'world-class magic', I really thought it was the world's top", I couldn't help but complain.

"Don't be noisy, be serious", Dashuai touched my arm.

"Here's what you least expected, that will make you scream, that will make you scream, that will make you get what you want!" Before he could say anything, he began to applaud below. Boiling.

"Quiet! Be quiet! He raised a hand to signal silence, and the applause in the crowd faded away, and he added, "But magic is magic after all." Everything is fake, everything is a phantom, don't take it too seriously."

"Good! Good! There was a low cheer and continuous applause, and the big handsome man also applauded excitedly beside me.

"Look, my nose!" As he spoke, he pointed to the black hole in the middle of his face: "Peck by a chicken!" One is covered in gold. Like a big rooster possessed by a vulture! Its sharp mouth hooked my nostrils, and then flew like an iron fan, tearing my entire nose up at once, and then swallowing it instantly, without even spitting out the boogers and nose hairs! ”

"Hahaha", lowered followed by a burst of applause and laughter, seemingly attracted by his speech style.

"Look, my hand," he said, pointing to the broken part of his arm, "I was bitten by that damn dog, and the dogs there are all worse than the Tibetan mastiff, and a whole row of steel teeth is exposed in one mouth!" He wanted to take hold of my arm, and with a flick of his head, he actually ripped off such a strong arm, and then attracted three other vicious dogs, and in a few seconds, they ate cleanly, and the bones were gone."

At this moment, there is no sound around, everyone is looking at the defects on their bodies, and everyone is panicking, they should be afraid of everything they have experienced before.

"Dashuai, did you find a problem?" I whispered to him, "This village seems to be made up of people who have fled from there, and there are no locals at all."

"Huh? It seems to be hey", Dashuai's mind is not here at all, he has been completely attracted to the stage.

I looked at the people around me who had few arms and legs, and their bodies were still full of blood holes, and I felt a little panicked. Is this village for those of us who have fled? It was an empty city, filled with people who had escaped from the vicious dogs and the golden rooster. And the people I saw doing business before were not locals at all.

The deepest memory is when I first came in and saw the bun seller, the boss looked like he had lived here for a long time, but now that I think about it, he only has one leg, because, I accidentally saw a bamboo stick peeking out between a trouser leg and a shoe. The pants were empty, just a bamboo stick inserted, and a shoe was worn under the bamboo stick.

But! Bamboo sticks are not strong at all! It can't replace the prosthetic limb at all, even if it can't replace the prosthetic limb, but he doesn't use crutches around him, he doesn't move, he just stands and sells buns, is it that this bamboo stick is just a decorative function? Would it look better to look like an able-bodied person?

That's not right! If he cares so much about his image, why is his hair messed up like this?

Don't...... Loading? Pretending to be an able-bodied person? But to whom?

When I first entered the village, there was a scene of prosperity, but now that I think about it, those people are simply incomplete people, but they are all pretending! That prosperity was deliberately disguised!

Why?

Thinking of this, I began to chill all over my body, and at this moment the performance on stage was kicking off.

"But I can heal my wounds and it doesn't look like there's a trace of it, believe it or not?"

"How is it possible", "I don't believe", "I cure one on the spot"

……

The reaction from the audience was unprecedentedly violent, and the people in the chairs in the front row began to stand up one after another, demanding that the performance begin immediately.

How? He's not the host? He's a magician? From the beginning I thought it was a gate, to the host later, and now to a magician, I just feel that my eyelids are jumping so much, and I don't want to watch any magic!

"I'm going to ask my two assistants, one of whom has his eyes devoured by a rooster, and he will play the role of a donor, in order to satisfy everyone's spectator mentality, he plays an involuntary donor, and he has high acting requirements, but he is a very good actor, and he will definitely not disappoint everyone."

As he spoke, an iron cage slowly slid out from the middle of the black cloth, about one meter high and one meter wide, and a thin man squatted inside, his whole body trembling, and under his forehead were two deep black holes.

Hey? How is he? I know him! Isn't he the same guy I accidentally put my fingers in his eye socket before? How did he become the magician's assistant?

"Help! Let me out! He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the iron frame with both hands, and shook it constantly, and only saw a long black hole with his mouth wide open, coupled with two black eye sockets, and hurriedly looked like a skeleton.

"Well, very good, he's already starting to get into the play", the magician said with a faint glance to the side and satisfaction.

"Next, I'm going to get a second assistant, huh...... He's playing my assistant," the magician grinned again. At the same time, another person came out of the black cloth, missing an eye and a chin!

It's him! Another person locking the door at the door.

The assistant took a towel and stuffed it into the donor's mouth, then took out two handcuffs and put them on the iron railings on top of each side. The donor, who was still crying wolf, could only make a "whine" sound for an instant, but he was still writhing and shaking the iron cage with both hands, trying to struggle out of it.

"It's great, everyone watching his performance, it's really in place!" The magician looked at the volunteers who were trying to break through the cage like trapped beasts, and let out a sigh of praise.

The audience applauded, whistled, and urged to get to the point.

The donor slowly quieted down, perhaps tired and lazy, or unable to see, and did not know what to do in the dark world.

And the magician was gradually approaching him, stretching out his index finger and slowly approaching him through the iron cage...... And he was still hanging his hands inside, stuffing something in his mouth, hanging his head, only a heavy pant, and no other reaction.

When the tip of the magician's finger lightly touched the tip of the donor's nose, the donor's whole body bounced and writhed like a madman, making a "woo-woo" sound. It's like a mad dog in a dog cage.

"Hey, the donor won't let me touch it, what should I do", the magician said helplessly to the audience, spreading his hands out.

The low audience is boiling again, this magician can really whet people's appetites, and he is a natural performer.

"Forcibly! Forced! Forced! "The audience started to cheer on regularly.

"Okay, listen to everyone!" The magician's words silenced the audience again, and then he said, "Assistant! ”

"Yes!" The assistant clenched his hands into fists, in order to show a slight smile, he didn't have a chin, this smile the whole head is round, missing the protruding part of the chin, and the lower lip is directly gone, which makes the smile look extremely ghostly.

The assistant walked unhurriedly to the back of the iron cage, and the donor in the iron cage didn't know what was happening, he only heard the phrase "assistant", so he kept squatting nervously in the iron cage, and the whole person was on high alert. (To be continued.) )
