Section 32 Causes of Death and Human Hearts II.
"Well, looks like you've found quite a bit." Amiya replied calmly, "Honestly, many related memories have disappeared from my mind since I died. When you say that now, I have a vague impression that you are not lying. β
Everyone looked at Amiya in surprise, the animal trainer was still very famous for her temper in the circus, and ordinary people were not taken seriously by her at all. I didn't expect that Amiya and Sonny would be able to secretly date under everyone's noses, and they didn't know anything about it. Only the clown's face showed a complicated look, it was obvious that he had been seen through the abacus by Duran before, and now he had broken the relationship with the beast trainer, even if he was an evil spirit, he was a little caught off guard.
"Damn, I locked all those houses, how did you get in!" The clown asked incredulously.
Duran shrugged his shoulders and did not answer him, but continued to his own mind: "Let's continue to restore the original facts. After Sonny's death, Amiya became suspicious of this, and it didn't take long for some evil forces to begin to appear in the town. Amiya then took the opportunity to feign illness, but secretly began to spy on Mr. Bullard and Mr. Cassel - this is also the reason why Miss Amiya was able to sabotage Captain Brad's plan, if it had not been for the fact that she had been watching your every move in the dark, and only got up in the middle of the night to warm milk, I am afraid it would not have been such a coincidence. What's more, she still has time to call out to Mr. Cassel. β
"You're spying on me?" Before Brad could speak, Cassel yelled at Amiya in a rage.
The animal tamer said calmly, "Calm down, Cassel. I just think Sonny died a little strangely. I did make some observations, and I quickly proved that you didn't mean to, even though you were on stage when Sonny performed that magic show. But there must have been something wrong with the head of the regiment - I can't remember, but I remember it well. β
All eyes were on Brad. The circus leader gave an embarrassed look as he waved his hand: "Hey don't do this, I have nothing to do with Sonny's death, not to mention that before the performance, I warned him that something might be wrong with the props!" β
"You know Sonny's last name, he's very talented, and if you give him a chance, he'll be the best actor you can be. He will replace you, and you are afraid of that, so you take advantage of his desire to succeed and make a trick on the magic prop to kill him. Amiya's eyes flashed with memories, and she spoke bit by bit.
"I didn't!" Brad roared with a gaffe.
"He really didn't, it should have been an accident." Duran interjected, "If he wants to kill Sonny, it doesn't have to be so much trouble." As someone close to the evil gods, and with a small bouquet of frost flowers hidden in his bedroom, he could have done it in any other way if he wanted to kill Sonny, just like he had killed you, simple and effective. β
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Brad looked at Duran in shock and anger.
Duran pointed to Amiya, Renee, and Cassel, and said quickly, "The three of you were poisoned, and the poison is naturally this small handful of frost flowers in my hand, which I found from Mr. Brad's bedroom. β
"It can't be! Jenny and I are dead too! Brad said puzzled, his memory of all this was already blurred, and he couldn't believe that Amiya and the others would be poisoned by himself.
"Nothing is impossible. At that time, under the temptation of the evil gods, your heart was already occupied by darkness. You made a deal with Di Gao Geng long before you wanted to leave alone with Jenny, and although all this was just my guess, based on the evidence I have found so far, this guess is reasonable. After Sonny's death, you should have gotten this mirror by a special coincidence. Duran pointed to the hexagonal mirror in the package and said firmly, "The content of this deal is very simple, it is to exchange the surnames of Amiya, Renee, and Cassel, so that you and Jenny can escape the town. I guess you should have been ecstatic when Di Goeng agreed to your request. It is really comforting to not have to kill these former companions with your own hands, but also to be able to escape the minions of evil forces. β
"It's a pity that your plan failed. So according to the agreement between you and Di Gaogeng, you must kill the three of them with your own hands in order to save yourself and Lady Jenny. The rest of the story is clear, you drive the carriage in the fog, communicate with the evil god and know that you will never be able to escape from this place, so you secretly turn the carriage around while Mr. Cassel is sleeping, and you are finally back in the small town of Sania. β
Speaking of this, Duran shook his head with some pity: "It's really pitiful to say, if you had persevered a little longer and traveled a little further, maybe you would have escaped the control of the evil god." After all, I guess that Sania had not yet broken away from the main body of the Fernanda Continent at that time, but had just been shrouded in the power of the evil gods. β
Brad's eyes widened in horror, and Duran's words seemed to uncover some long-dormant memory in the depths of his mind. He opened his mouth to refute, but found powerlessly that it seemed to be the case.
"Wait, Mr. Duran, if what you say is correct, then who killed Brad and me?" Jenny, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
Duran held up the bouquet of frost flowers on his left hand and smiled, "Of course it's Ms. Amiya. β
"Let's imagine a scenario in which Brad, who was threatened by the evil spirit lord Di Goggung, secretly turned the car around - he thought no one had noticed, but he didn't realize that Miss Amiya was completely feigning illness, she was actually very conscious, and secretly watched your every move. She found out about your way around the carriage, and she determined that you had ulterior motives for everyone. At this point, her anger and suspicions were awakened again by some forceβthe night you returned to the theater, the two of you both chose to poison the wine with frost flowers. It's just that Amiya wanted to poison Brad and Jenny, and Brad wanted to poison Lady Amiya and the other three - and it turned out obviously, you both succeeded. β
And the mastermind behind the scenes will laugh from ear to ear when they see this scene, right? He has bound your souls and transformed them into evil spirits, erased your memories, and bound you forever in the vanity mirror, speculating on the cause of your own deathβthe result he loves most. Duran said calmly, "This person is Di Gaogeng, am I not wrong?" β
The five looked at each other, stunned by what Duran said, but for some reason, they couldn't refute it.
In the end, Brad nodded bitterly: "It is indeed Mr. Di Gaogeng who binds our souls. β
"So I say the source of all this is nothing more than Sonny's death." Duran looked at the clown coldly: "There are no absolute coincidences in the world, and Di Gaogeng will not be bored to notice the intrigue in one of your little circuses." β
"What do you mean by that?" Amiya asked, biting her lip.
"Quite simply, after Sonny's death, his resentment was very strong, and it was at this time that the evil gods set their sights on the small town of Sarnia. Di Gaogeng must have sensed Sonny's anger and transformed him into his own evil spirit messenger. Duran took a deep breath and continued, "You must be very unwilling, right? As a clown, you feel that your acting skills are no worse than theirs. Why do you want to be a supporting role forever? Why don't they give themselves a chance? β
"You must be in love with Amiya and you don't dare to be with her openly because of your status in the circus, right? You have a breath in your heart, you want to do more, do better, you want to impress others! β
"That performance should be your only chance. You want Brad, Kassel, you want all the audience to see that you Sonny can do a great performance, not just a clown role. β
And when the guillotine is slashed, you don't see the encouraging or surprised eyes of the audience, you see the horror and collapse in their eyes - your head hits the ground, blood gushes out of your neck, and in an instant, you know that your performance has failed and you have paid with your life! You are not reconciled, your thoughts are hovering here, and attracting Di Gaogeng's attention. He appreciates your resentment and transforms you into a demon messenger, and the career-loving Sonny is gone, replaced by a ruthless Sonny whose heart is occupied by darkness. β
Duran's gaze at the clown was full of sorrow and sympathy: "So at the instigation of Di Gaogeng, you carefully planned the whole incident. The hexagonal magic mirror in Brad's hand should be something you tried to get him, right? Through this magic mirror, Di Gaogeng can freely intimidate Brad, thus luring out the dark side of his heart, forcing him to abandon his former partner and flee with his lover; And Amiya also found out that Brad was wrong at your prompt, she wanted to avenge you, and she happened to fall for Di Gaogeng's annihilation. β
"All of this is caused by the treacherous hearts of each other." Duran concluded, "Sounds sad, doesn't it? The self-proclaimed wisdom of the Lord of the Dawn is played with by an evil god because of negative emotions such as timidity, impulsiveness, fear, greed for life and fear of death, anger, and so on. These emotions seem to be harmless, but under Di Gaogeng's guidance, they are enough to bury all five of you! β
The dressing room was silent, and the five of them all showed sad looks, and with Duran's words, what had been puzzled before was finally unraveled. It's ridiculous!
However, at this time, a soft chuckle suddenly came from the quiet dressing room:
"Wonderful reasoning, I appreciate your wisdom, mortal."
