Chapter 5: Scarlet's Welcome

Abandoned industrial buildings always remind people of the feeling of dilapidation.

The dead steel edifice stands on the empty earth, as if seeing the old traces of civilization.

Soot, pollution, heavy metal radiation......

No one wants to come here, everything valuable has been hollowed out, this building is dead, the core is empty.

So, it's perfect to host a circus show here.

Su Ling and Lorna stood in front of the building, the empty void staring at them like peeping eyes.

The silver moon hangs high, and the evening breeze blows through the neck, sending a hint of coolness.

Two children dressed in clown costumes ran down the stairs merrily, walked up to them and bowed:

"Sir, Miss, the Black Circus show is about to begin, please show your invitation."

The girl took out the black card and handed it to the child, who took it, and then looked at it carefully.

Look very carefully, very seriously, first look at the front, then look at the back, and finally look at the mezzanine, and at the end of the bite again.

The child on the left really took a bite, and then said with a bitter face: "It doesn't taste right." ”

Then hand it to the child on the right: "You taste it." ”

The child on the right stuffed the card directly into his mouth, crunched and swallowed his stomach, and nodded vigorously: "This is chocolate-flavored, it should have been sour radish-flavored." ”

The two children crossed their hands and said to Su Ling, "Fake, you can't go in." ”

it?

Su Ling felt that he had been tricked by Jack again.

Lorna glanced at him and made eye contact:

"What to do? Forced your way in? ”

Su Ling glanced at the two children in circus clothes, and could feel a very strange aura from them, not people or weird, in short...... Can't tell.

"Forget it, ask them first."

He had a hunch that it wouldn't be a good idea to break in.

Lorna gave him the question: "Psychiatrist come on and tell these two children that they are in danger at the moment. ”

How can it be so easy, Miss, I am a doctor, not a mage.

Su Ling thought to himself, you may have some misunderstanding about this profession, and the psychiatrist will go crazy when you encounter a patient who can't communicate.

However, it is clear that the two children should be able to communicate.

So Su Ling asked them, "Then how can we get in?" ”

The child on the left says, "Unless the sun rises in the west." ”

The child on the right says, "Unless the star falls to the ground." ”

Lorna immediately pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword, how could this be possible!

Su Ling pressed her shoulder: "Don't be impulsive. ”

"And what are you going to do?" Lorna didn't understand, "These two things don't go against common sense at all. ”

"Just talk to them about logic," Su Ling smiled mysteriously, "There is a word in psychology called thinking traps. ”

He looked at the child on his left: "If you see the sun rising in the west, you will admit that we are qualified?" ”

The child nodded vigorously: "Of course, only the great Clown Jack can do this, and if you can also let me see the sun rising in the west, I will recognize your greatness." ”

"Good!" Su Ling took out his mobile phone, played a video, and showed it to him: "Now you see it." ”

The sun really rose in the west, and not only that, but the bullets that flew out of the chamber retreated.

Simple reversing, the child was speechless, and his face turned red: "How can you count the reversible video?" ”

"You didn't admit it?" Su Ling forced him to look at him, "Okay, let you see it, did you see it?" I recorded it. ”

The child reluctantly admits defeat: "Well, you are as cunning as Mr. Jack." ”

Lorna looked at Su Ling in disbelief: "It's that simple? Such a stupid trap ......"

"Some things are ignored because they are too big and they don't have the intention of touching at all," Su Ling shrugged, "Some things are ignored because they are too small, and the focus of their eyes is on other things." ”

He explained: "I always emphasize that he can see the scene of the sun rising upside down, but deliberately avoid specific time and place scenes, just to guide him to ignore these and create room for me to manipulate." ”

The child on the right looked at Su Ling vigilantly: "What other tricks do you want to play now?" There won't be a video of a star rising from the ground for you to play backwards. ”

Su Ling's heart was shocked, and the stars rose......

"The Incredible Black Star Rises from the Sky......"

In that burning dream, the last poem recited by the king in yellow.

In a trance, it seems that something in my heart is about to break out of the cage!

"What's wrong with you?" Lorna regained his consciousness and looked at him strangely, "It can't be a trick, right?" ”

"It's nothing," Su Ling shook his head, putting that strange feeling behind him, "I'm just thinking of countermeasures." ”

The child on the right is holding his arm: "I'm looking forward to it." ”

"It's too low," Su Ling snapped his fingers, "to give you a long look." ”

This time, he directly intercepted a news report:

[Astronomical Observatory observed a small meteorite falling]

Su Ling pointed to the crater and the collected meteorite fragments: "Now you see it." ”

The child argued: "You are cheating, how can meteorites be counted as stars?" ”

"The corpse of a star, a meteorite, you can't deny that it was one of the stars before it fell, even if it was dim." Su Ling replied calmly.

Two children, you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly laughed.

They bowed to Su Lingyi: "Good sir, smart, cunning, and good at inducing, sir, you are qualified to watch a great show." ”

The two of them began to sing and dance, singing around them:

"Ah, welcome to the Black Circus!"

"The most outstanding performance!"

"Now let's enjoy the opening ceremony!"

The two jumped halfway and suddenly stopped.

Su Ling and Lorna looked at the two children vigilantly, and when they saw them stop moving, their hearts were alarmed.

The two of them were still like clockwork dolls that had lost power, their movements frozen in mid-air, without the slightest change.

In an instant, from two vivid children to puppets, it is creepy.

Strangely, the smile on the child's face was constantly distorting.

Su Ling's pupils shrank, and the bodies of these two children were expanding!

"It's not good, self-destruct!"

He immediately wanted to teleport away with Lorna, but the next second he dismissed the idea.

A child turned his head stiffly, his head was already swollen and out of shape, like a pig's head filled with water, and there was a strange smile on his face: "Officer, please enjoy." ”

Ridiculous tone, Jack's voice!

The heads of the two children suddenly exploded, but there was no flesh and blood.

A ball of ceremonial flowers sprang out of the child's head, as if a salute was stuffed into the body.

Streamers fell from the sky, and the solemnity was like an opening ceremony.

The child's body fell, but instead of blood flowed from the headless neck, there was a red ribbon with the words of blessing written on it:

"Welcome to the Black Circus."
