Chapter Ninety-Seven: Performance
"Huh? Mary, why doesn't the magician play? ”
Anna heard a familiar voice, it turned out to be the young couple who had been in the car before.
Mary's mood was equally anxious, and the handkerchief she was holding was already soaked with sweat. "Louis, he shouldn't be late, right?"
"I've waited so long to finally get to wait for the greatest magician to perform, and if he's late, I'll regret it for the rest of my life." Louis's worries grew heavier.
"In a town like ours, we are really lucky to have Mr. Andres." Mary's tone was full of happiness, "Will you be as successful as he is Louis?" ”
"Of course!" Louis said firmly, "It was my lifelong dream to become a great magician. ”
Anna only felt a bad chill, and these two people directly turned into toys?
Originally, it was just a couple who traveled around the world, but they got on the supernatural bus by mistake, and they got to the wrong stop in ignorance, and now they have completely become a different person.
The original conscious memory was completely erased, and a new character was implanted, with new memories and personalities.
According to a special setting, he was caught up in this deformed carnival.
So...... At what cost......
From the moment she entered this tent, Anna understood.
This is definitely not a random paranormal event.
For example, the chandelier in Dajing City, and the starvation in Dachang City.
Both of these events were events that recovered and grew up after a treacherous process, and finally caused great harm.
But that's not the case in [Downtown Town].
From the paranormal bus detouring to drop down Andres, to all the inhabitants being put to a standstill, and finally being gathered for a huge show.
And the protagonist is Andres.
If the source of this supernatural event is a resurgence of history, it will definitely not be like this.
The revival of the past will not fulfill a person's dream, it will only destroy and kill according to its own laws.
So Downtown Town must have been created by some trickster, or someone using a supernatural object.
In that case, there must be a price.
The overuse of supernatural powers by the Trickster can lead to resurrection of the Trick Amounting to suicide, and the cost of the Paranormal Item can be large or small.
The least expensive supernatural item is the tricky candle, strictly speaking, the price of not being used, but this thing is a man-made laboratory product, and the price is to contribute to society or Wang Xiaoming's favor.
The cost is a little larger, such as the supernatural bus, which can also be regarded as a supernatural item.
People who are close to the recovery of the past can get into the car, although it can be delayed, or even not recovered.
But no one knows if they will send you away when the next stop turns off.
From Smith's mouth, Anna had learned that the downtown town had been like this for months.
If it's a trickster who uses supernatural powers for months without stopping?
It's almost impossible.
Even if Yang Jian is in a state of death now, it is impossible to use supernatural power for several months in a row.
Even a unique existence like Anna can't go on for months without resting.
So, if you rule out other possibilities, there will only be one possibility.
That's it—paranormal items.
Many of the supernatural items themselves are made of weird or weird puzzles, so they can use supernatural powers continuously.
But what is the cost to the user of using supernatural items like this?
Create a powerful barrier, transform the people of the town into slaves with new memories, and create a different dimension......
"Could it be that the supernatural object is reviving on its own? Objects come to consciousness? ”
Anna wore a golden cloak and analyzed the situation as she waited for the performers to appear.
In addition to her, there is another person waiting.
Night had already fallen, and now there was something "moving" in the stables.
Sokolovsky crossed his arms and rubbed them together, huddled in the hay pile in the corner to keep warm.
He was so hot during the day that he took off his clothes, and now he didn't know where to leave them.
"That woman can't have died outside, why hasn't she settled yet? I've been waiting for a day...... "Sokolovsky grumbled, "I'm not going to die any longer, am I?" ”
If Anna had died here, the town would have grown even more terrifying, according to the law of the inevitable resurgence of the trickster's death.
In particular, Sokolovsky had already seen Anna's aggressiveness.
"This isn't going to be the typical high-attack crispy trickster, is it...... That's bad luck......"
Sokolovsky's right hand never left his pocket, and he couldn't sit still as the ambient temperature got cooler and colder.
"I can't wait so stupidly, if I wait until all the tricks on Anna's body are revived after her death, it may be too late for me to run again!"
He gritted his teeth and got out of the stable, and the outside environment, Sokolovsky saw for the first time.
He had been hiding inside for most of the day, not moving.
Now that I got out, I found that the nearest house was quite far away.
On the other side of the stable, however, it was foggy and could not be seen very clearly.
"Could it be that this is the border?" Sokolovsky almost cried out in excitement, "It's not that thing, it will definitely send me to the best place." ”
He stepped forward on foot, and it soon became clear that it was a transparent barrier that stretched from a distance and into the distance.
Through the barrier, you can faintly see someone outside.
"This town has not disappeared from the general environment, so Interpol North America headquarters can also detect the anomaly, so they sent people to rescue...... But maybe the people who came were not very powerful, so they didn't come in? ”
Sokolovsky touched his chin and hesitated in place.
"If I break through the barrier and get out, will I get headlong into the encirclement network of the North American headquarters?"
Sokolovsky stroked his beard and looked heavy.
"These Kalmers can't be trusted, they can't get out from this side, change places, I don't believe they can let people stand at every border."
Judging from the sky, it should be close to night.
"The town shouldn't be like this for a day or two, and the people at the North American headquarters can't solve the problem, and they can't put much thought into it, and when it comes to midnight, they will definitely slack off."
Sokolovsky walked along this transparent barrier, carefully away from the house.
The facts are better than Sokolovsky thought.
He hadn't taken a few steps before he found a place where there was no half a figure outside the barrier, and there was no light at all.
It seems that no one is keeping vigil here at all.
In fact, Smith arranged for the police to patrol non-stop.
Theoretically, there will be no loophole in the encirclement.
But people are going to slack off, especially since it's been rotten for months.
