Section 27 The Man in the Mirror [First Update]

When this thought crossed Duran's mind, the roster under his hand turned to the next page.

As he expected, the names that followed were so vague that they were almost unrecognizable—as were the case for the next few pages, and the only names of the entire circus were recognizable were the six on the title page. The results are clear at a glance, the target of this mission to clean up the Circus of Despair must be these six people, one of whom Duran has already taken a photo, and the other five people do not know where to hide at this time.

Duran felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and the cheers of the audience from the front desk became louder and louder, which meant that the performance was about to be pushed to the end of the show. He threw away the roster in his hand and opened the book that chronicled the major historical events of the circus.

The book is also too old, and judging from the signature, it should be recorded by the head of the regiment, Brad. From the beginning of the Circus of Despair to the joining of some important personnel, of course, there is also a record of the origin of Sonny the Clown, according to Brad, who broke into the circus caravan on a snowy night, when he was still a young boy, and Brad took pity on him for being homeless and gave him a job.

It is not difficult to see from the next text describing his surname that the head of the regiment, Brad, is very proud of his occasional acts of kindness, and says that if he does not take the child in, Sonny will surely be found frozen or starved to death in a garbage heap in an alley.

The rest of the big events were of little interest to Duran, and he turned the pages very quickly, and the further back he went, the more concise Brad's account became. In the beginning, he wrote about taking in Sonny for a full page and a half, and later on, it was often a sentence:

[Found a new sweeper]

[Jenny told me she didn't want to do it anymore, but I wouldn't be stupid enough to give up on such a capable employee]

[The props used to perform the decapitation magic are broken again]

【My God...... How could this happen? I told him that the props used to perform the decapitation magic were broken...... Poor sonny]

[The weather is getting a little cold, but the coal is still delivered today.] I don't know why, I've lit the fireplace, but there's still an unstoppable cold invading in, and I'm really old?

[I have a hunch that something will happen in these two days...... Something bad...... Amiya was so sick that she began to talk nonsense, Renee didn't look very good, and the town of Sania seemed to have suddenly fallen into isolation, and we were abandoned, yes, the great Lord of the Dawn. The streets were filled with a fog thick enough to kill one. No, we can't sit still, we have to get out of this town]

[Haha, you should praise my skills, not only did I modify the carriage inherent in the circus, but also stole three good horses from the stables of two merchants, and the food and water were enough for us to eat for half a month, and we could leave this town completely]

……

At this point, the whole book had been turned to the last page, and Duran was not sure what the scribbled words on the last page meant, his eyes widened, and he looked at it for a long time before he vaguely recognized the three words:

[He's coming]

"Who? Who's coming? Duran only felt a chill all over his body, he couldn't help but curse a few words in his heart The evil sect of the evil land, every mission is so terrifying, it is estimated that if he can survive more than a dozen tasks, his courage will definitely become iron.

He took a deep breath and closed the book, combined with the performance Duran had seen before, the cause of Sonny's death was already coming out, but Duran was still a little puzzled in his heart. According to the book, the town of Sania seems to have undergone an unusual change - the fog is thick, the people of the town are in a state of panic, some are sick, and the final decision of the regiment leader Brad is to flee.

Obviously, they didn't succeed, and if they did, the Supreme Council wouldn't have given the Circus of Despair a mission. These people must have not escaped the clutches of the evil spirits, and somehow returned to the theater - and eventually became resentful spirits.

Duran reasoned carefully in his heart, and at this moment, the mutton fat candle suddenly let out a tremble. Duran was startled, and the oak thorn immediately held it in his hand, and looked around vigilantly. Due to the fact that the number of times the power of gray iron has been used up today, Duran's combat power has actually been weakened a lot, and he can only rely on skills such as high agility and hand-to-hand combat to fight with the enemy.

A mountain of whistling came from the front desk, and the audience burst into warm applause, and at this moment, Sonny the Clown suddenly screamed on the stage: "What about the audience? What about the audience? What about my audience! Mr. Duran, where are you? ”

"Oh, you're not a good spectator, lad." A soft voice suddenly rang out in the dressing room, sounding like a gentle woman.

But when Duran heard this, he seemed to be more nervous than he was when he heard Sonny the Clown—for he looked around, but he didn't see any human figure at all! He didn't know exactly where the voice was coming from.

Duran said cautiously, "It's not polite to hide in the shadows and talk. ”

"In the shadows? Can't you see me? The woman chuckled. At this time, a deep voice came: "Amiya, don't scare our honored guests, after being here for so long, it is hard to have a new face." ”

Sweat was pouring down Duran's forehead, how many people were hiding in this seemingly empty dressing room—or ghosts?

At this moment, Duran suddenly noticed that five of the six mirrors seemed to be faintly moving, and he held up the mutton fat candle uncertainly—this candle still weighed half of it, and it would keep Duran's life alive for at least the next fifteen minutes.

Duran shone the light of the candle at one of the mirrors, and the figure in the mirror immediately let out a sharp howl: "Take away your, hurry! Otherwise, I'm going to take out your heart, liver, spleen and lungs! ”

Duran's face sank like water, and he shone the candlelight on the rest of the mirrors—in each of the vanity mirrors, there lived a figure, these people looked no different from ordinary people in appearance, but their eyes were cold, and they should be evil spirits.

"Hey, Cassel, don't be so aggressive with our guests. But Mr. Duran, the candle in your hand does make us feel uncomfortable, please don't face us. The man who said this was a middle-aged man who looked mild and polite, and he stood in the most important mirror.

"Mr. Brad?" Duran shifted the candlelight away slightly and asked tentatively.

The middle-aged man showed a charming smile: "It's contemptible, let me introduce you, I'm Brad, the leader of the Desperate Circus." This lady is the animal trainer Amiya, and the one who yelled at you just now is the acrobat Cassel, and the quiet lady is Renee, who is also good at all kinds of acrobatics. And Jenny, who is in charge of logistics. ”

Duran's gaze swept over the mirror one by one, and he remembered the appearance of the five people, but when he looked at the last mirror, it was empty.

"As you can see, there is another guy who is a little different from us, we can only live in the world of the mirror, and we can't leave the place too far from the mirror, but he is different, he can run around freely." Brad smiled bitterly, he straightened his collar, and actually stepped out of the mirror.

The other four people also stepped out of the mirror one after another, and there were suddenly five more people in the originally cramped and quiet dressing room, which made Duran feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sonny?" Duran knows that the owner of the last mirror should be the Joker, but he is also a wraith, why is Sonny different?

And these five mission objectives do not seem to be fierce and vicious people, Duran's heart is still full of doubts - but he will not let his guard down because of this, after all, he has also learned from the past - the evil spirit master Beron was also humble and polite before he was recognized by Duran. In the Village of Bones, anyone can take your last name, and Duran knows this, and he won't believe everything the wraiths say.

Brad smiled bitterly: "Because the cause of his death is different from ours." So though he also makes the vanity mirror his home, he doesn't have to be inhibited—well, Mr. Duran, as the first living person to see us in hundreds, perhaps millennia, we welcome you. ”

"However, after the welcome, it's time for us to think about how to kill you......" Brad still had a charming smile on his face, but the words he said were so terrifying.

Duran took a step back, the candle in his hand burning shorter and shorter: "I don't understand, maybe we can talk." ”

Brad smiled exaggeratedly: "Nothing I don't understand, this is a pact between the living and the dead, you shouldn't break into our world, but since you're here, then you should become one of us." Don't expect the candle in your hand to protect you for long, while it is true that he can restrain our actions, but what is the point of ten minutes of life? ”

"Damn, do you really want to fight?" Duran watched with some depression as the five evil spirits surrounded him, and the visual inspection skill had already fed back the information of the five people, except for the head Brad who was about level 28 at the silver peak, the rest were in their early twenties at the beginning of the silver stage, although he had killed a lot of shadow beasts in the shadow maze, and the level of the beasts had increased rapidly, but there was still a certain gap from the silver power.

What's more, the other side still has a numerical advantage.

If you can work part-time as a [Rune Mage] and then increase your level through the Shadow Tower's thief training base, not to mention these enemies in front of you, even the gold-level master Duran will not be taken seriously! It's a pity that he didn't even pass through the shadow labyrinth, so he could only temporarily escape to the evil place to survive.

"It's really a tiger's mouth with the front foot, and a wolf's den with the back foot." Duran sighed in his heart, he clenched the dagger in his hand, and his gaze began to wander between the crowd.

At this time, there was a sudden shout at the front desk: "Mr. Duran, Mr. Duran, where are you?" ”

Sonny the Clown? Duran sighed in his heart, there was one more enemy.
