Chapter 25: Welcome to the Midnight Circus

"This is Shi Lei's body, why is it here? Didn't the scholar say that he was bitten to death by a poisonous snake while climbing the mountain? ”

Qin Tian was full of doubts.

At this moment, Qin Tian heard a "click", and hurriedly turned around to look, and found that the scholar had an extra knife in his hand.

The scholar locked the door and walked towards Qin Tian step by step, the gentle color on his face turning a hideous and almost perverted pale.

"If you know my secret, you have to die." The scholar's tone was cold.

"That's right, I killed Shi Lei. We were in the same school, and we both had excellent grades, and in order to compete for the only study abroad qualification, I killed him and dumped him in the room. ”

Qin Tian felt chills in his heart when he heard this, thinking that it was no wonder that the scholar's eyes were always erratic when he looked at Shi Lei, it turned out that Shi Lei was killed by him.

Qin Tian looked at the scholar in surprise, he didn't expect that a person who was delicate and gentle on the surface would actually do such a heartless thing for a little benefit.

"You just stay here and be with Shi Lei!"

The scholar's face was hideous, and he was about to stab Qin Tian while holding the knife.

However, at this time, Qin Tian smiled: "Are you sure you can kill me?" ”

"If I don't kill you, I'll go to jail."

The scholar gritted his teeth and roared, the dagger in his hand shining in the darkness.

Qin Tian was not flustered, his ten fingers moved, and he quickly entered a line of words in the mobile phone document: The scholar's stabbing force was too great, and he couldn't hold the dagger, and the knife came out of his hand and fell to the ground.

As soon as this sentence was written into the document, the knife in the scholar's hand fell in response.

"How did the knife fall!" The scholar snorted angrily.

Qin Tian's eyes flickered, he seized the opportunity to fly over, and kicked the scholar on the lower abdomen with precision, subduing him in an instant.

"Ah, my belly."

The scholar's lips trembled, and he knelt on the ground with his stomach covered and gasped, unable to get up for a long time.

"If I can't even solve it with you, how can I save my sister?"

Qin Tian turned on his mobile phone and wanted to check the situation in the room with the help of the light, and inadvertently saw a large series of comments floating on the screen: "Nima, I thought there was a fierce fight, but I didn't expect the protagonist to solve it with one move?" ”

"Damn, bad reviews, the author is simply writing blindly, other scholars have killed people, how can they not hold a dagger? The author is forcibly weakening the scholar! ”

Seeing these comments, Qin Tian smiled slightly.

When he uses the plot intervention ability, the text will not describe it, so in the eyes of the reader, the dagger in the scholar's hand fell off inexplicably.

Qin Tian put his eyes on reality, and used the light of his mobile phone to find the switch and turn on the light in the room.

The lights came on, and the scene in the room was completely unfolded in front of him.

It was an empty room, with nothing but a chain in the corner for a dog.

And Shi Lei's body was lying in the corner.

"That's not right!" Qin Tian suddenly noticed the details on the corpse, and immediately felt creepy.

"Scholar, how did you kill Shi Lei?" He hurriedly asked the scholar.

"I strangled him with my hands." The scholar slowly stood up holding his stomach, staring at Qin Tian with a cold gaze.

"Are you sure you killed him at the time?"

"Of course."

"That's not right! He wasn't strangled by you! He was scared to death, looking at his reaction before he died, his pupils were dilated, the white of his eyes turned outward, his face was distorted, and there was still white foam at the corners of his mouth, which was not a symptom of strangulation. ”

Qin Tian stared at Shi Lei's corpse tightly.

If you are strangled to death, your face will be iron-blue due to ischemia, your eyes will bulge and be bloodshot, your tongue will stick out, and you will become incontinent.

And these performances, Shi Lei did not have them.

He was scared to death!

"Impossible." The scholar's face changed wildly.

Qin Tian's gaze looked into the distance and made an astonishing discovery: the four walls of the room were actually written with blood-colored words.

"Xiaolian, I miss you so much, how are you and the child now, my parents locked me up and didn't allow me to see you, but I miss you so much."

"I'm going out, I'm going out to find you."

"Get out, get out, get out, Xiaolian, Xiaolian."

Among the blood characters on the wall, the most frequent ones are "out" and "Xiaolian".

"There was a person locked up here," Qin Tian looked at the iron chain in the corner, "that person should be chained to the room." ”

The words on the wall are written in blood, but the content is not scary, so what was Shi Lei scared to death?

"Oh no, maybe the scare-scaring stuff in the room has escaped!" Qin Tian suddenly showed a frightened expression, turned around and ran.

He must find his sister as soon as possible!

"Hey, where are you going?" The scholar closed the door and chased after Qin Tian, with a different idea in his heart.

Qin Tian ran wildly and met Loulan, who was calling Qin Yuxin everywhere.

"Whew".

Qin Tian suddenly stopped and frowned deeply.

"What's wrong?" Loulan looked surprised.

"Did you hear anything?" Qin Tian asked her.

"No, where is the sound?"

"The voice is on the second floor." Qin Tian went up to the second floor and followed the sound all the way to the deepest part of the second floor.

There was a distinctive door, older and dusty than all the others.

"Squeak."

Pushing the door in, the scene inside shocked Qin Tian and them.

Qin Tian wondered if he had gone to the wrong place, it was clearly a small theater, with a stage for performances at the front and rows of seats below.

At this time, there were already quite a few people sitting on the seats, and Qin Tian saw dozens of people at a cursory glance. They were all seated, each dressed differently, but each wearing a white mask on their faces.

Everyone was silent, staring motionlessly at the stage in front of them.

Qin Tian, the scholar and Loulan were so surprised that their mouths grew, and Loulan was even more shocked, she was the owner of the villa, and she didn't even know that she had such a place in her home.

And on the stage stood a clown, under the illumination of the lights, receiving the gaze of dozens of spectators.

Under Qin Tian's shocked gaze, the clown stretched out his arms vigorously:

"Welcome to the circus that opens at midnight, and ask all the girls without tears to sit in the front row with your favorite doll, and we will bring you a cruel and terrifying night."

The masked audience at the bottom remained motionless, did not make any sound, and still quietly looked at the clown on the stage.

The atmosphere was extremely weird, and even the air blowing on Qin Tian's arm made him feel a chill.

"Let's bring you a magic show, the separation of the human body."

With a smile and a wave of his hand, the curtain is pulled back, and in the center of the stage is a rectangular iron box, which is formed by two iron boxes put together, which is a common prop used by magicians to perform the art of separation.

Inside the tin box lay a man, his eyes closed and motionless.

"That man! It was the taxi driver who dropped us off at the villa! Qin Tian's eyelids jumped wildly when he saw it.

"Whew." Loulan was also so shocked that she almost screamed, but fortunately, Qin Tian covered her mouth in time.

On stage, the clown closes the iron box, revealing only a gap in the middle of the iron box.

Immediately after, the clown didn't know where to take out a chainsaw, and pulled the chainsaw with a "buzz", and the sawsaw suddenly turned with a rattle.

The clown held the chainsaw and sawed straight through the crack in the center of the tin box.

"Ahh

The iron box let out a heart-rending cry that lasted for a few seconds before it came to an abrupt end.

The Joker throws away the chainsaw, moves the two iron boxes out of the way, and opens them separately.

Inside was the taxi driver's upper and lower body, blood spilling all over the ground, and all the internal organs fell to the ground.

"Thank you, thank you."

The clown bowed elegantly and smiled weirdly: "Let's bring you acrobatics, and the chest will be broken." ”

Then the curtain opened again: a stone slab lay on a long table, on which lay a middle-aged man in a tracksuit.

The clown dragged a long-handled hammer to the table, picked it up high, and smashed it on the man's chest with a "Peng".

With a crisp "click" sound, the middle-aged man opened his eyes suddenly, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then tilted his head and stopped moving.

"Peng, Peng, Peng."

The clown slammed and hammered the corpse until it broke the slate beneath the corpse.

Then the clown put down the hammer and touched his chest with one hand and bowed.

The audience all watched indifferently, no one made a sound, and no one knew what kind of expression was under the mask.

"Gross." Loulan covered her mouth vigorously, retched for a while, her face was pale, and she trembled with fright.

Qin Tian was no better, his legs trembled, and he kept swallowing saliva.

The scholar looked at the clown in a daze, distracted.

"Midnight Circus, non-stop, and then the third show."

The clown snapped his fingers, and suddenly two men in white masks pushed up a wooden cross.

There was a woman tied to the wooden frame, her eyes closed, her head hanging limply.

"It can't be!" Qin Tian glared angrily.

"It's her!" The scholar stumbled in horror.
