In the evening, Su Xian had not yet gone out, but Professor Buck came to the door by himself.

Although Su Xian was surprised, he quickly welcomed him into the store.

After they all sat down, Su Xian asked, "Professor, is there something wrong with me?" ”

Professor Buck just smiled, "I can't look for you if it's okay?" ”

In fact, he finished today's lecture, pushed away the entertainment after that, and came to Su Xian...... Liaison with feelings.

There is such an extraordinary person around here, and he is also a close student, if he doesn't hold on tightly, wouldn't it be too stupid?

But he thought about it and found an excuse, "In the past two days, many students have been on leave at home, I investigated a little, they are all good children who usually love to read, is there something going on at the reading party?" ”

Su Xian said calmly: "Something did happen. Actually, I was about to go to you tonight, but I didn't expect you to come first. ”

Professor Barker's heart moved: "Is it a tricky matter?" ”

Su Xian nodded and said, "Yes, Professor." You know you're the only person I can talk to when it comes to that kind of thing. ”

Professor Buck chimed in: "I'm the same with that. It may not be a coincidence that fate brought the two of us together. You are my most proud student, and I have always regarded you as a personal disciple, so if you have anything, you can come to me to discuss. ”

Although he knew that what Professor Buck said might just be superficial, Su Xian still felt some warmth in his heart, and he didn't make much of a detour, so he briefly stated the matter of "clown" and "masquerade".

Professor Buck took some time to digest the information: "So, because of this incident, you have a feud with the Joker?" ”

Su Xian said without changing his face: "Yes, professor." ”

Professor Buck asked, "What about the Frederick family's attitude?" Speaking of which, you should be their lady's savior, and the last dead Abel is also their person, and this matter should be solved by them. ”

Su Xian said helplessly: "The problem is here, they are not ready to stand up." The Masquerade is an organization involving transcendent powers, and the clown is a powerful transcendent, but it is only through this incident that they discover the ordinary people who have recovered from the transcendent, and I can tell that they are actually very jealous. ”

All concessions are born out of fear.

The so-called strategic planning is simply because they are too weak.

They need time to develop.

But this is not in line with Su Xian's current situation.

Professor Buck clearly saw this, and he said, "So, you're on your own? ”

Su Xian nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to infiltrate the masquerade ball in person and find the clown." Then take him out before he can come up with a plan to deal with me! ”

Professor Barker's eyes flashed with relief, "I agree with you. We are not people who take the initiative to find trouble, but we are not people who are to be slaughtered either. There's no reason to always wait for someone to do it first. This time, I can help you. ”

Su Xian suddenly showed a look of joy: "Professor Xie." ”

Professor Buck tilted his head and touched his chin, "Actually, I'm also very curious about the masquerade, and this time it's not all for you." ”

Su Xian: "I understand, Professor. ”

……

The two expressed their opinions and talked happily with each other, and they didn't notice for a while that it was already half past eight.

Su Xian invited Buck to Billy's restaurant, which he frequented the most, and the latter naturally did not refuse.

After being full of wine and food, Su Xian asked under the pretext: "Professor, do you know any famous clowns in history?" I want to know more about people in this way. ”

Professor Buck furrowed his eyebrows: "The words of the clown, historically, have generally appeared with the circus. There aren't actually many people who are known for their clown appearance alone. So when you deal with the Joker, be careful that he has other companions. ”

Su Xian: "Magician, animal tamer, trapeze? ”

Professor Buck said, "Pretty much. If you want to know more about clowns, I happen to have a few miscellaneous books about clowns, and I can bring them to you tomorrow. ”

Su Xian thought for a while: "No, I'll get it myself tonight." ”

He originally wanted to ask Professor Buck if he knew anything about "Jesse Sock", but it seemed that the professor had not studied the Joker, and since he had a book, he looked it up himself.

But based on luck, he still mentioned "Jesse Sock" many times in the conversation on the way, but unfortunately the professor really didn't know.

……

After that, Su Xian spent the night in the study room of the professor's villa, and carefully studied some information about the clown.

When it was dawn, he borrowed all the books and went back to the store to continue reading.

It took another day to do so.

In fact, it is not consistent with what Professor Barker said.

Due to the prevalence of circuses, most people in this era thought that the clown was a supporting role in the circus, but before the last era, the clown was originally a solitary individual.

They were active in the court, and they made the rulers laugh by playing and pretending to be stupid.

And because "playing dumb" is a basic skill of the Joker, even if he says something unpleasant in front of the ruler, he will not anger the ruler.

In this way, there is a privilege to "tell the truth".

When the minister did not dare to tell the truth for fear of the authority of the ruler, the clown stepped forward.

……

And because of the immunity to tell the truth, clowns on the theatrical stage often play the role of "spectators", and even jump out of the play to comment on the people and the plot in the play.

The clown speaks for the author, shouting to the audience, and wandering outside the story.

They pretend to be crazy and stupid on the surface, but they are more thorough than anyone else in their hearts, both hippie and smiling, and wise and foolish.

Of course, this is just an evaluation of some of these individuals.

Most of the contemporary clowns are just actors wearing clown masks, and even if they have both sides on and off stage, they have no profound connotation.

……

In Professor Barker's books, there are also many famous jesters, the most famous of which is a court jester who successfully assassinated the king of the day.

……

Adhering to the principle of knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, Su Xian went to the library of the academy to check the information about the clown, and learned more about the clown.

In the library, he meets Fran, who normally comes to work, and although the latter has experienced an accident at the book club, he seems to be recovering well and leaving no after-effects.

No, she became more active instead.

has been pestering Su Xian to ask for information about "extraordinary".

When Su Xian asked her why she cared so much, she also mysteriously took out her rare jade pendant and gave him a look, and whispered: "Because I have it too!" ”

Should it be said that she is unwary of Su Xian, or is she too naïve, and even tells outsiders about this kind of thing casually.

Su Xian shook his head, reminding her that this was a secret, and did not delve further.

In short, he knew that there was another transcendent person by his side.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was July 28th.

……
