The deserted circus sits ten kilometers northwest of where the Catcat broke down.

Shirley flew in front, Anne lay on Zheng Xiu's shoulder, the two of them and a cat, flying all the way to this place.

Shirley has mastered the use of "Wind Flower" and can even skillfully play fancy flying in the air, showing off her skills to Zheng Xiu triumphantly while spinning in circles.

On their way to the circus, they stumble upon a group of fleeing aberrant creatures that look like hybrids of demons and other aberrant creatures.

Without waiting for Zheng Xiu to shout to be careful, Shirley flew high, first canceling "Fenghua".

On the way to free fall, Shirley first used the "iron cannon", banged a few shots, and after accurately hitting all the aberrant creatures, she launched the "Wind Flower" again, found an angle, canceled the "Wind Flower", and shot the nine aberrant creatures with a single "Hundred Ghosts" and knocked them to the ground.

In the end, Shirley used a "knife technique" that fell from the sky, turning her hands into "fast knives", and a small distortion of friends.

The whole process was solved in just one minute, Zheng Xiu fell to the ground silently, looking at the distorted blood on his face, his eyes were bloodshot, but his face showed the eagerness of "children have done things and are looking forward to praise from adults", standing in the ugly distorted flesh blocks, twisting and twisting Shirley who was waiting for Zheng Xiu's praise with both hands uneasily.

Zheng Xiu had a strange look on his face.

Finally, he stepped forward and applauded slowly: "Shirley, that's great." ”

Shirley's hand hidden behind her changed back to its normal shape, and when she heard Zheng Xiu's words, a happy smile appeared on her face: "Uncle, do you really think Shirley is great?" ”

"yes, or not?"

However, every time Shirley kills or kills aberrant creatures, Mia gets angry. She scolded Shirley every time and told her not to do anything. ”

Zheng Xiu thought about it, and there seemed to be such a thing along the way. It's no wonder that every time she encounters a lone deformed creature, Mia is the first to fire her gun, and she doesn't give Shirley a chance to do it.

"Mia said," Shirley said with a thoughtful look on her face, recalling Mia's words: "Shirley can grow up happily, she doesn't need to learn this, Mia can protect Shirley." ”

"But Shirley actually knows, Mia can't protect Shirley."

"So, uncle, Shirley tells you a secret." Shirley blinked her eyes and beckoned to Zheng Xiu, Zheng Xiu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and chuckled, and her head leaned up. Shirley leaned in Zheng Xiu's ear and said in a soft dolphin voice: "Shirley has decided, to protect Mia, to protect uncle." She clenched her pink fist, and there was incredible power hidden in her small fist: "Shirley will never let Uncle and Mia be harmed." ”

Zheng Xiu didn't know how many years he hadn't heard from other people's mouths that someone wanted to protect himself. While feeling funny, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "Shirley has grown up, and she has to protect not only her sister, but also her uncle." ”

Sure enough, the last days are still very tempering.

In the Daqian Dynasty, 99 percent of the children and Shirley were playing in the mud and sand by the river when they were Shirley's age. And Shirley can already kill monsters in fancy ways, which is good.

"Hmm!"

When Zheng Xiu habitually stretched out his hand, Shirley cushioned her feet hard and took the initiative to put her head up to let Zheng Xiu boldly take the lead.

"Shirley is grown up and can protect Mia. In this way, one day, my uncle will be able to leave this world with peace of mind. ”

suddenly

Shirley, who didn't speak, fell silent.

This is not a sick sentence.

Shirley didn't speak before, and Zheng Xiu could clearly feel that the child was simply closing his eyes and enjoying his touch.

But the moment Zheng Xiu said those words, he keenly noticed that the atmosphere around Shirley had changed, and an atmosphere called "silence" swept in.

"Shirley?"

Zheng Xiu stopped moving, lowered his head and asked.

"Uncle...... Are you going to leave this world? ”

Shirley's tone became erratic and unpredictable.

Zheng Xiu didn't know how to answer this question.

He chose not to answer.

Swish!

Shelly's back suddenly grew brilliant translucent wings like flowers, and she flew high into the air.

Like a bolt of lightning, she swept across the sky in the blink of an eye and disappeared into the sky.

"It's like a basket!"

Anne gloated and smiled in a tone that was not a big deal to see the excitement: "Don't forget that her ability is to 'turn ideals into reality', which is almost a kind of 'reason', if her obsession is deep enough, hehe, it is very likely that you will really be forced to stay here in the end." It's not impossible not to say that it's impossible to keep you here, or even turn you into her 'daddy'. ”

Zheng Xiu looked at the direction in which Shirley disappeared, was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, what I appear in this world now is the 'incarnation of Zheng Shan'......"

Halfway through the conversation, Zheng Xiu remembered the moment when he forcibly cut off the "candle", and his tone froze: "Won't it?" ”

Mistress Anne said happily, "Who made you kind enough to use your own methods to guide her to develop that ability?" ”

"I'll go to your uncle." Zheng Xiu scolded the orange cat unceremoniously: "You didn't leak it out?" ”

"Chase Meow!"

The orange cat tilted its head arrogantly and didn't quarrel with Zheng Xiu on this point.

Zheng Xiu didn't say anything, and quickly chased in the direction where Shirley flew away.

Soon.

Zheng Xiu landed on a strange building.

Within a radius of several kilometers, there is a messy building. There's a crumbling Ferris wheel, there's a broken roller coaster track, there's a broken circus show slogan, there's a haunted house or something.

It seems to be a normal playground configuration, why does Zheng Xiu say that it is "strange"?

The reason is very simple, Zheng Xiu is condescending, and as far as the eye can see, all the buildings are "plural".

At a glance, the ruins below gave Zheng Xiu a strange feeling, and the playground below was like several identical playgrounds, pieced together, and then experienced the end together.

There were a few people lying at the entrance, and Zheng Xiu landed at the entrance of the playground, a little more cautious, and walked forward.

They are all members of the Scorpion Group who are responsible for going out to search.

One of the women who was lying in the snow and snoring was Beyoncé, who had the ability to "turn one second into ten seconds", and was only one step away from successfully marrying Zheng Xiu with a night of dew.

Several people breathed for a long time, and Beyoncé was snoring without even a sense of crisis, sleeping soundly.

"Sleep...... Got it? ”

Several people were not in danger of life, and it was obvious to the naked eye that they were sleeping soundly. But the reason why Zheng Xiu questioned was because they slept too soundly.

Zheng Xiu stepped forward and gently shook Beyoncé a few times, but failed to shake her awake. Zheng Xiu looked down at his fan-sized muscular slap, thinking seriously about how much force he could use to wake people up without killing them.

"Shhh

There were several sleeping people lying on the ground.

The orange cat, which was lying on Zheng Xiu's shoulder, gasped a few times without warning and jumped off Zheng Xiu's shoulder.

The fluffy tail on the hip swayed uneasily behind her, and Lady Anne leaned forward with her two front paws, and the whole cat assumed a vigilant posture like a battle chicken, and a piercing bluff came out of its mouth.

Lady Anne suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Why did you fall asleep? Humanoid abilities? ”

Zheng Xiu immediately thought of the ability of the humanoid.

In fact, when the road on the Cat's path was full of roadblocks that did not seem to be naturally piled up, Zheng Xiu knew at that time that the roadblocks were man-made.

The mere humanoids are not afraid, Zheng Xiu came to the playground with a game mentality. If you really encounter an unfriendly humanoid, just clean it up. Moreover, Zheng Xiu was also curious about the strange abilities of the humanoids, and he was looking forward to seeing more abilities, looking forward to seeing what strange things Annie had leaked out.

Shake Beyoncé a few more times, but still failed to shake Beyoncé awake, Zheng Xiu gave up. He looked up and soon saw a rotten and tattered sign not far from the entrance.

The sign is rusty, but Zheng Xiu can still tell from the rusty signboard: the world-famous circus "Nightmare Theatre" is touring here on such and such a day, and they will bring wonderful performances to the country.

In the center of the signboard is a striking and bewitching silhouette of a woman, which should have been dark red, and the style of the painting is evil and weird, and the silhouette is frozen in the action of her raising an index finger.

There is also a slogan left below.

Zheng Xiu couldn't see clearly, so he stepped forward, saw it clearly, and read it out.

"Have a wonderful, wonderful evening?"

When Zheng Xiu read the first half of the sentence, there was a wind in the back of his head, and the angry orange cat flew up and kicked the back of Zheng Xiu's head.

"Foolish God, don't read it! Ahh ”

The terrifying jade feet distorted space and light and shadow, Zheng Xiu's face was expressionless, he didn't turn his head, and grabbed the cat's jade feet in his hand with a slap.

One god and one cat maintained the posture of grasping the jade feet in their hands, and froze at the entrance of the playground for a moment.

"What are you mad about?"

The orange cat's kick just now was not a joke, it was completely driven to kill the gods.

If Zheng Xiu didn't lift his weight and blocked it lightly, this avatar would have to be scrapped on the spot.

"Stupid! How can you talk about the 'authority' of that dead bat? ”

The orange cat was angry, but Zheng Xiu changed from the cat's pupils to the shape of jade feet, and read the hesitant fear and anger in the cat's heart at the moment, and the complicated jade feet.

Zheng Xiu was stunned: "Such a long sentence...... Authority? Isn't the authority of your nemesis a dream? ”

Although the orange cat has never said it in person, Zheng Xiu vaguely guessed the other party's posture of authority from the orange cat's repeated thoughts for so many years.

"Stupid!" The orange cat was so angry that she wanted to get the jade foot out of the macho man's control, she twisted her ass hard, but without twitching, she pointed her tail at Zheng Xiu's nose and scolded: "Stupid! Stupidity! Stupidity! How do you measure the power of the Juggernaut with your little pattern! The Lord is everywhere, everywhere, and under His authority, He is invincible! ”

Zheng Xiu looked at the cat who was struggling in his control with a strange gaze and wanted to pull out the jade feet, and said in his heart that he couldn't blame him, who let the only master he knew be so collapsed, except for the "capital enemy" and the creation of "loopholes", there was no other dazzling performance, this kind of domination made Zheng Xiu have not had too strong tension and awe for the existence of the "master" level.

You're like that, and now you're telling me that you're so invincible...... But Anne, do you want to hear what you're saying?

Thinking about it carefully, Anne's state was indeed wrong, and she was shocked. Thinking of the "backtracking" that Anne was encountering, Zheng Xiu's heart softened, and finally decided not to stimulate the nervous Anne, so he silently let go of his hand. "Po~", Anne pulled out the jade foot hard, and made a crisp pumping sound because the speed was too fast, and the action was too urgent.

Grunt...... Anne flew upside down in the air dozens of times, flew ten meters away, and flew back to Zheng Xiu's shoulder in a gray manner.

"I've read it all, and now ...... What will happen? ”

When Anne returned to Zheng Xiu's shoulder and squatted, she seemed to have turned into another cat, and resumed her usual lazy and elegant tone: "I don't know." ”

Suddenly.

Melodious and poignant music comes from the depths.

It's singing from the radio in the playground.

A violin piece.

The lyrics tell a short and poignant story. A princess who had been sleeping for many years awoke from a long dream, and her once-ornate castle had been reduced to stone ruins, and the prince she loved had become a skeleton.

In the midst of the singing, a magical scene was staged.

The mottled rust peeled off little by little, and the Ferris wheel that had fallen in the distance unexpectedly stood up again, turning happily to the poignant violin music. Ding Ding Ding Ding! Unicorn roving cars with bells around their necks move on brand new roads, and the sound of children's laughter faintly emanates from empty seats.

Call! Call! Call!

The broken track was restored to its original state, and the roller coaster sped down the track.

The current scene is just like the legendary "time lapse", the ruins of the amusement park that have been sleeping for hundreds of years suddenly show the style that existed hundreds of years ago in front of Zheng Xiu.

Zheng Xiu and Anne quietly watched the changes taking place in the playground.

All this is still within the scope of Zheng Xiu's acceptance, isn't it just magic, a little divine power, who wouldn't? Zheng Xiu pursed his lips, [intuition] started on his own, and his hairs stood up slightly, this reaction seemed to remind Zheng Xiu that "there is danger ahead, there is high energy, but not much".

After experiencing the intuitive feedback brought by [Intuition], Zheng Xiu's eyes closed and opened, and he turned on the [Reconnaissance] exceptional skill, and the pitch-black data stream washed down like a waterfall in the depths of Zheng Xiu's pupils, and a few strange numbers first appeared in Zheng Xiu's field of vision, and then this number exploded like a bomb, densely filling Zheng Xiu's field of vision.

Zheng Xiu had never seen it since the [Investigation] broke the rules...... Such a vast amount of information, a huge amount of information is like a vast ocean, instantly rushing through Zheng Xiu's brain and filling Zheng Xiu's eyes.

He only felt that his eyes were in sharp pain as if they were being roasted by fire, but between the sharp pain, there was a faint sense of pleasure that could not be explained.

After Zheng Xiu got used to this feeling of pain and happiness, his eyes fell on the playground in front of him again:

The colorful neon lights give this dull night a magical color. Zheng Xiu looked up curiously, the sky was still covered with a layer of dust clouds unique to the "cataclysm", while the buildings and roads in the playground were completely new, such a staggered scene of the old and the new, extremely unharmoniously blended in front of Zheng Xiu, making Zheng Xiu experience a strange feeling like a dream.

"No meow!"

The orange cat closed its eyes, sniffed left and right, and felt a little more relieved in his tone: "It's weird! The smell of the dead bat is very faint and faint! He shouldn't have put his 'authority' here, maybe it was a long, long time ago! A little bit of His stuff, but not much! ”

As the saying goes, it is the mortal enemy who knows himself best.

The orange cat can smell the "smell of dead bats" from this place. This made Zheng Xiu very impressed.

Anne came to a similar conclusion to Zheng Xiu: there was a little bit of bat stuff here, but not much.

"Let's go! Check it out! ”

Without waiting for Anne's instructions, Zheng Xiu also had this plan. In fact, although the "dead bat" in Anne's mouth is the mortal enemy of cats, it is not for Zheng Xiu. In a sense, the "dead bat" in Anne's mouth can now be regarded as the leader of Fengbei, and Zheng Xiu is very curious about what is hidden in it.
