Section 29 Questions and AnswersI.

"Let's go? Sonny, is there anything you can do to get me out of here? Duran asked, feigning some emotion.

The Joker gave a wry smile: "Oh Duran, you know, it's hard. I don't know where you came from, but as you can see, the town of SaΓ±a has long since become an abandoned land, full of evil spirits like us - most of them are unintelligent, they only know about killing and bloodthirsty, and the six of us may be an exception, but no one can break the rules between the dead and the living. When a living person steps into the land of the dead, then he must be killed. ”

"Oh? So why can you break this rule? Duran asked softly.

Sonny whispered, "Because I'm different from them, I see, I'm free to leave this room, but they can't, their souls are bound to these mirrors, and if you leave the dressing room twenty feet, they'll be gone." But I'm different, I live in a mirror, but the mirror doesn't limit me too much - to be honest, it's going to take a lot of work to explain it, and you have to believe that I don't mean to harm you. They're different, and if you don't leave this place, trust me, in an hour's time, you'll be blown away by the strange way you died. ”

"Maybe I won't die." Duran smiled, he didn't look in a hurry, he was calm and indifferent, not scared at all, which made the clown muttered in his heart - could it be that the young man in front of him was much more capable than he had shown? Or is it just youthful frivolity?

"Thank you so much for helping me avoid a pointless fight, but I think the game can go on, as long as I can find the cause of their deaths, I guess they won't embarrass me." Duran blinked, fiddling with the oak thorn in his hand, "It's as if I guessed the cause of your death." ”

There was an unnatural look on the clown's face, and this anomaly in the dim light might be difficult for ordinary people to catch, but Duran, as an assassin, had a much higher perception than ordinary people, and he saw all this in his eyes. Duran wasn't going to trust this weird guy with just a few words, unless he didn't die.

"It's an idea," the clown smiled awkwardly, scratching his head and sighing, "but it's difficult, very difficult...... You know, they've been dead for an unknown number of years, and in the past years, they've been bored, speculating with each other all day about each other's deaths -- something they haven't figured out for so long, and you've only had an hour to ......"

"Not necessarily, there is a saying in my hometown: the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused. The general meaning is that I, as a bystander, can see things that they can't see...... You don't have to worry about me, there's plenty of time anyway, and if you really have a way to get me out of here, it's not too late for me to ask you for help. Duran smiled, he couldn't follow the Joker's intentions, the six mission objectives were already known to him, and it was time to clean up the real damned among them. According to the method of completing the mission, Duran only needs to defeat each of the six people and kill them all - but the previous perfect reward gave Duran a taste of sweetness, anyway, there is still time, why not try to completely decipher the essence of this mission?

It seems that the key to the third mission is the cause of death of the five people, and if they can crack it, they will likely get the perfect reward - even if they can't, Duran is not afraid, although he is only an assassin of the gray iron rank, but these evil spirits may not be his opponent alone. What's more, five of them still have geographical restrictions, and they will disappear if they leave the makeup mirror twenty feet away, even if Duran is not good, the skills of the card monster are still handy.

On the contrary, it was the clown next to him who made Duran a little unpredictable. To say that he is a bad person, his previous performances and suggestions for playing games have given him a chance to think and breathe; If he is said to be a good person, Duran will not believe it. Although instinct is too mysterious and can make people feel too emotional, Duran deeply feels that this guy must have ulterior motives for him.

So he said to Sonny, "Give me half an hour, and if I can't find out the cause of their deaths, I'll consider your suggestion." ”

The clown shrugged, "Well, behind the dressing room is the living room of the circus members, you can go in and look for some clues." I have some things to prepare - if you want to leave this place, you must open a door to time and space, and my ability is far from instantaneous, so you must prepare first. ”

"Thank you, Sonny." Duran smiled.

The clown grinned reluctantly and walked through the powder room door to the front desk. Duran looked at his back for a moment, then walked to the mirror where the regiment leader Brad was, knocked on the door and knocked on the curtain on the mirror.

With a swipe, the curtain was pulled open fiercely, and Brad said viciously: "Hey boy, if you can't come up with a good reason, I won't care if the agreed hour is up or not, I'll tear you apart!" ”

"Uh, I'm sorry, Mr. Bullard...... Also, Ms. Jenny, I didn't expect ......" Duran shrugged his shoulders in shock, looked at Brad in the mirror behind the curtain and the fat lady Jenny kneeling on the bed behind him in an ambiguous position, and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't expect the life of evil spirits to be so rich." ”

"Fuck off! Don't bother me again! "It's a good thing to be knocked through, Brad obviously didn't have a good voice, and pulled the curtain up.

Duran touched his nose and was a little self-deprecating, and he walked around Jenny's mirror to the other, and sighed in his heart at Brad's heavy tasteβ€”of course, Lady Jenny was still very good in other places, except for being a little too plump, especially the pair of treasures on her chest.

"Hey, Mr. Cassel, well, I hope I didn't disturb your rest." Duran knocked on the acrobat's door, and at the same time was glad that he didn't see any beautiful scenes after the curtain was opened this time, and in the face of the impulsive and irritable Cassel, Duran considered his vocabulary and said, "Can you talk?" Just a little bit. ”

"I allow you to ask three questions." Cassel said indifferently, but Duran still saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

He froze, and said, "You have tried to escape from the town of Sarnia, but apparently you have not succeeded - I wonder what happened?" ”

Hearing Duran's question, Cassel felt a little distracted, he thought for a moment, and said slowly: "It's hard to describe, let me think about it." Probably, I don't know how long ago. Well, in short, there is a change in the town of Sania, and there are all kinds of signs that this place has been targeted by some evil force, and we are still alive at the time, and of course we want to escape from this place. It was Jeanne who made this suggestion at first, and this woman was the head of the troupe, and her opinion was always very important in the circus. What's more, it didn't take long for Amiya and Renee to fall ill one after another, but the cause of their illness could not be found, and the regimental commander felt that this was already a bad place, so he wanted to flee with us - oh, no, let me think about it......"

Duran listened quietly, and a look of remembrance appeared on Cassel's face:

"I remember, at first the head didn't want to take us away, yes, this damn coward, he actually wanted to run away with Jenny and the others alone. Of course he didn't succeed, his actions were discovered, and he had to leave the place with us. Cassel said angrily, "If it weren't for Amiya, I'm afraid the two of them would have abandoned us in the small town of Sarnia, though we ended up rounding back." ”

"Tell me about your escape. Well, that's the second question. Duran asked succinctly.

Kassel pondered: "There is nothing to say about it. The regimental commander drove the carriage, I sat with him, and the rest of the people sat in the carriage. We walked along the official road, the fog was thick, and the carriage almost flipped over twice on the way, but fortunately we were lucky. We followed the map to the nearby big cities, but the fog obscured our direction, we didn't know how long, and when we saw the village and the buildings again, we wept with joy and hugged each other, thinking that we had come out of this nightmare town. ”

"But the end result was horrible, the carriage went slowly, and we found ourselves in despair that we had actually walked back - can you imagine the fear and despair? We tried to escape from this place, but the god of fate brought us back! You know, a few days ago, the priests and bishops of the church had disappeared, and the town was constantly dying strangely, and the fog was thick and terrified. ”

"I don't know what happened next, that's where my memory ends, we went back to the town and then something should have happened. By the time my sanity was restored, some of my memories had been erased, and I had become a cold-blooded demon who could only do what the man intended. He locked us in mirrors and ordered us to kill anyone living who trespassed on this place. There were a few guys who broke in before, and they weren't as lucky as you. ”

Cassel said this, his eyes gradually becoming a little impatient, and his gaze towards Duran was also full of murderous intent.

Duran took a deep breath and looked away from Cassel's gaze - he knew that this killing intent might not have been the intention of the other party, it was just the killing of the evil spirit itself.

So he asked the last question: "Are there any of you who have a particularly good relationship?" ”

Kassel replied decisively: "Of course there is." I don't have a good relationship with other people. Brad and Jenny are almost husband and wife, though I never guessed why they never married; Renee's surname is Grim, and not many people like her. Ah, by the way, and that disgusting clown, everyone doesn't like him because he's too expressive. Sir, you must know that as a clown, he should only play a supporting role in any occasion, and not constantly steal the show. ”

"Amiya seems to like him a lot, though......"
