Qiu Xuan squatted down, her toes avoiding a puddle of smashed unidentified tissue objects on the ground that had sunk in, and the tip of the knife picked open the clown suit on the rest of her body, revealing the skin inside.

"It seems to have the same texture as the balloon in the morning." Ya also squatted down and touched it, and frowned.

Qiu Xuan looked at it for a while, suddenly remembered something, patted her head and stood up, looking a little regretful.

"What's wrong?"

"I was afraid to stay in the way and get in the way, so I kicked that boss out." Qiu Xuan got up and walked to the door, "Now that I think about it, it's very likely that he is lying, the boss and the clown are actually in the same group, otherwise why would he have that kind of balloon in his hand?" ”

Ya's fingertips groped around the clown's corpse for a moment, and suddenly the other side thrust into a palm out of thin air. Ya was shocked, and suddenly withdrew his hand, only to see the chainsaw man squatting beside them, and his hands tore the entire densely stitched clown suit in half.

"Here."

The rough sandpaper-like voice sounded, and as his words fell, his palm gradually moved down, and he pulled it violently and tore off most of the skin.

Eddard's gaze at the Chainsaw Man grew more and more frightened.

"Molting?"

Although the few scenes in front of him looked like the bloody scene of some kind of perverted murderer, Qiu Xuan frowned and watched the chainsaw man action for a while, and finally found a little wayway.

It turned out that the ankle position of the clown's corpse had been faintly separated from the bottom to the top of the white dry crack. Chainsaw Man didn't tear off the skin out of thin air, but followed the direction of the original molt, peeling off the entire skin along the gap.

The whole skin fell off, and where the flesh should have been exposed, there was another, slightly reddish, fresh skin.

Qiu Xuan picked up a little of the shed skin and looked at it, and found that it was the raw material for the balloon made of unknown material. The overly delicate skin left on the corpse may be due to the new growth, so the tip of the knife can still be pierced with a little force.

"Is this man a snake, otherwise how could he molt?"

Eddard finally came back to his senses from the Chainsaw Man's previous inhumane skinning scene, and it seems that he is still well accepted because there is no flesh and blood exposed under the corpse.

Qiu Xuan glanced at him and didn't speak, she touched her nose, she actually wanted to take the opportunity to wipe the messy makeup on the clown's face and look at the face underneath. But now, she looked again at the hollow hole, puddle after puddle of shattered unidentified objects, and sighed silently.

The chainsaw man turned his head suddenly.

"What do you want to say?" Qiu Xuan Road.

He didn't say a word, but got up silently from the ground, lifted the curtain of the tent and walked out, as if he had come to the balloon booth at night just to pin the clown to the ground and beat him.

Qiu Xuan lowered her eyes again and glanced at the shattered head.

As night fell, the group was in the tent of the balloon booth, and they seemed to be faintly hearing the sound of the silence coming from the tent in the center. Long San touched his head, his eyes were far away in the crowd, and he quietly glanced at the other party.

The latter nodded clearly and said, "I should be able to catch up with the first half when I go back now, I may have to go back and take a look, what do you say?" ”

"We'll wait for you outside, and we'll go find the Carson sisters."

Ryuzo was the first to speak, "You hurry up, there should be a clue in the central tent." ”

Hearing this, Ya suddenly turned around between them with an inexplicable look. "You guys, aren't you ......?"

"If you can, go find the owner of the balloon stand today, I have something I want to ask him." Qiu Xuan suddenly interrupted her words, and changed the topic in a way that was not even clever at all, "Be careful yourself, Ed will continue to ask you." ”

Ya stared at her silently for several times, and finally nodded in agreement.

So Qiu Xuan turned around again and walked back.

She thought of Kiara, who was still in the tent in the center, and of Ryuzo, who had come to negotiate with her this afternoon.

Ryuzo said that last night, he had indeed seen the person chasing them in the corridor of St. Canaan, but that the person was not the roommate they knew Riya was suffering from angel puppet syndrome, but "two people".

Two people, the same body.

Lilia, with Lilith.

They heard the grinding sound of something dragging on the ground, a corpse whose feet were dragged forward by the conjoined twin sisters.

At that time, Ryuzo intuitively found some important clues, so he used his ability to copy a "dummy" that was exactly the same as himself, and stuffed it into the team that was running in a hurry at that time.

The dummy can withstand the mental power that is partially separated from Ryusan, so in the eyes of several other people, there is nothing unusual about Ryuzo's "person" itself. The real start of the flaws came when he arrived at the Rose Garden, when Ryuzan himself encountered something in the St. Canaan building, so he could no longer devote his energy to control the dummy, so he let the chainsaw man who had been hiding his body and following the team find out.

That night, Ryuzo resolutely chose to chase after Lilia and Lilith dragging the corpses, and then he saw ......

Qiu Xuan lifted the curtain of the central tent and walked in, and the waves and voices of people rushed towards him. All the audience members rose from their seats as if they had lost their self-control and sanity, waving their arms and shouting as if they were crazy.

When she returned, it was just in time for the climax of the night circus.

Ryuzo said that he saw the conjoined twins named Lilia and Lilith, clapping their hands and laughing on the left and right, singing birthday songs to themselves.

Qiu Xuan raised her eyes, and on the display platform in the center, as the dazzling lights dissipated, a bloated figure stood in the center of the stage, and from the moment she appeared, the whole scene began to burst into joy.

"It's my birthday."

The girl said, and then, a little shyly, laughed. "I hope to be able to reap the blessings of everyone present, thank you!"

Although I don't know what happened, the voices from the audience became louder and more excited.

Ryuzo said that he saw that on that night in St. Canaan, in the corner of the room, Lilia on the left pursed her lips and smiled, looking very happy. Then she bent down and dragged the corpse up on the ground, gestured to the right half of the corpse's body out of thin air, and suddenly began to frown.

"Why didn't she talk to me, Lilith?" Hassle-free

Lilia frowned puzzled, "Obviously, she has agreed to be friends with me before, but today I went to play with her, and she kept talking to the gray-haired man, ignoring me." ”

"It means that she is not really a friend."

On the right, Lilith said coldly, "Don't expect any more, we can't make friends, not in this life." ”

I thought that Lilia would be depressed because of these words, but after a while, she pursed her lips again and began to giggle, laughing and saying, "It was impossible before, but now it can, isn't it?" ”

After saying such a misty sentence, Long San was surprised to see that this time Lilith, the sister who always had a cold face and didn't care about anyone, actually laughed with Lilia.

"yes, yes. Now it's OK......"

"So who to pick?"

"So who to choose?"

Lilia paused, and when she looked up again, she had an eerie look of excitement on her face. "I feel it, Lilith."

"Me too."

At that moment, Long San suddenly fell to the ground in a cold sweat.

He thought to himself, holding his breath and wanting to exit as quietly as he had come, when he saw that the next second, Lilia and Lilith turned back at the same time and looked in his direction.

"Who said no, isn't that already here?"

……

Qiu Xuan mingled in the chaotic and crazy crowd, and watched the woman known as the "magician" walk onto the performance stage wearing a cloak.

"Look at our birthday today!" She waved her palms in the direction of Lilia and Lilith, said in an exaggerated tone, and bowed again to the crowd in front of her. "Everyone, be quiet, the show is about to begin."

These words were like a terrible signal, and I saw that the crowd of people who were originally dancing wildly suddenly became like chickens that had been choked by the neck, and they instantly quieted down.

Qiu Xuan took advantage of this opportunity to walk towards the seat on the ticket in her memory, and when she arrived at her destination, she found that there were people everywhere who seemed to be taking drugs, but only the figure of the saint was missing.

Where did Kiara go?

She frowned and thought to herself, and on the stage, the magician seemed to be extremely satisfied with the situation off the stage. She lifted her magic cane prop and made a lifting motion towards the crowd, then faced the twins behind her.

"My dear Lilia, and of course, Lilith my darling."

The magician said in a deliberately and pretentious tone, "Today is your birthday, and on this unusual day in the past, you! This pair of nature's masterpieces was born in this world! Now the time is back to this point, my dear miracles......"

She said, "I can grant you one wish, any wish, tonight, in ...... In the presence of all the spectators! ”

Although the high notes fell, the audience began to cheer like crazy again. The magician on the stage seemed to be satisfied with this scene, she raised her hand to take off her comical top hat, and began to pull out some of the magician's standard props such as white doves and rabbits and streamers.

"The masterpiece of our Creator, sisters of the Carson family!"

She bent over Lilia and Lilith, "Now tell me what you want." ”

Qiu Xuan stood in the audience and saw the conjoined twins once again from this past time, she clenched her fists, and suddenly seemed to realize what was going to happen next.

She heard Lilia say:

"I want to be a normal person who can make friends."

Lilith suddenly closed her eyes in the chaos crowd, and the right side of her body remained motionless, as if she did not want to participate in such a ridiculous performance, and as if she acquiesced to Lilia's words.

"So," the magician raised her prop staff again. "Are you ready, Carson sisters!"

A red-black curtain large enough to envelop the two men fell from the sky, and the magician fixed their bodies while tying the drape below the necks of the two heads.

Looking at it this way, if you only look at the two heads exposed on the stand, they are two normal people.

"Are you ready?" The magician asked again, this time towards the audience.

There was a deafening shout, the magician smiled and beckoned, and suddenly a guillotine large enough to cut off the horse's leg appeared on the stage, straight at the middle of the two heads.

"Ready, now ...... We're going to get started. ”

"A bunch of crazy people, aren't they?"

I don't know when, Kiara, who has gone and returned, appeared beside Qiu Xuan. The latter did not look back at her, but said, "Don't forget, that woman is a 'magician'." It's just a magic trick to change people, isn't it? The circus now relies on the gimmick of conjoined twins to make money, and it is impossible to perform split surgery on them, and it is impossible to hurt them. ”

"Do you really think so?" Kiara was noncommittal, "As an aside, if the conjoined twins are really separated, which do you think they should live?" ”

"I don't know." Qiu Xuan said bluntly, "If it were themselves, it would not be easy to choose to live alone or simply be separated and die as a waste organ." ”

They were still discussing the separation operation, and in the stands, the chilling guillotine had slashed between the two heads.

One hears the unreal sound of flesh breaking apart in the noisy crowd, followed by Lilia on the left looking up and screaming, while Lilith on the right still has her eyes closed and her face is expressionless.

A considerable part of the audience was a little frightened, watching the scenes on the stage in amazement, thinking that the guillotine had really cut off the human body.

Next to him, a middle-aged man with a big belly sneered and laughed at his lack of knowledge.

"At first glance, I know that it's the first time I've come to see the circus today," the middle-aged man said, "Those two women will play that once a month, watching the knife slash their bodies, in fact, they are all fake, it's a visual misalignment, you know?" It's the kind of magic trick that changes people, learn more, don't look like you haven't seen the world. ”

The young man finally recovered a little, and said "I see" while wiping away the cold sweat. Before he could put his hand down, he saw that in the next second, the black and red curtain was instantly soaked, and the expressionless Lilith's expression was distorted to an incredible arc, and the blood dripped down the twins' legs and fell to the ground.
