The other end of the phone was momentarily stunned: "What? Are we going to get a dungeon? ”

The development of the situation is too urgent, although Qi Zhen has already explained before, but when it comes to the end, Lu Zhi is still a little confused.

"Well, I've found the right one." Qi Zheng said firmly.

Lu Zhi only hesitated for half a second: "Okay, I'll go and prepare!" ”

A minute later, Lu Zhi sent a confirmation message that he had been prepared.

Qi Zhen immediately dialed the ticket number of the tourists on the "Highway Circus" leaflet -

"Jingle bells, jingle bells......"

The retro-style ringtone rang on the other end of the phone, and the waiting time became long, and after about ten seconds, the phone was answered: "Hello, welcome to the "Road Circus" ticket office, we are glad that you have picked up our flyer, if you are interested in our circus performance, you can participate in the three-day circus show for 30 coins......"

The voice of the female operator gradually became muffled, and in its place, the voice of the cold machinery of the system -

[Hello dear travelers, you are welcome to choose to enter the dungeon again]

[Please check if the "Binding Card" is used?] 】

"Confirm use." Qi Ji and Lu Zhi replied.

[The binding card has officially taken effect]

[Transcript loading......]

The view was blocked for a moment, the sound of the rain outside the house gradually faded, the air gradually became dry, and the wind even filled the air with the unique smell of burning.

[Before entering the copy, please pay 30 yuan as the ticket purchase fee for passengers, do you want to pay it?] 】

"Yes."

[Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the "Road Circus"]

[Background of the dungeon: This is a circus wandering on a no-man's land, they are elusive, there is no specific schedule, there is no pre-designed performance plan, some are just surprises!] 】

[The circus will quietly descend next to the gas station in the wilderness, bringing a three-day happiness to people who are bored in life, the circus has the most outstanding performers and the greatest performances, I believe the circus will bring you the most exciting sensory experience, so that you will remember for a lifetime! When the road circus completes its mission of bringing joy to the locals, they quietly disappear into the highway as if they had arrived]

[But while the circus brings joy to people, it is also shrouded in many strange legends.] It is said that there is panic within the circus, more and more tourists are missing, and there are always not enough cast and crew in the circus, they are always recruiting new people to join the team, and there are many speculations that the normal operation of the circus has been seriously affected......]

[Quest: Please experience all circus projects in three days as a tourist (there will be relevant plot prop guidelines in the future)]

The moment the system's voice fell, Qi Zhen's gaze was restored.

The wind howls in the wilderness.

A gray highway spreads over the wilderness, and night is about to fall, and the blood-colored afterglow is fading beneath the horizon.

In the distance, at an intersection with a gas station sign, colorful tents and twinkling lights illuminate the evening in the wilderness.

A neon sign reading "Highway Circus" hangs high above the tent, and the neon lights flicker in the howling wind, and it takes a while for travelers walking in the twilight to adjust to the neon light.

The contrast between the bright lights and the wind-swept wilderness is absurd and unexpectedly harmonious, giving travelers on the road a bizarre visual impact.

Lu Zhi stood beside Qi Zheng, and the absurd and gorgeous scene in front of him suddenly made him unable to speak half a word.

It wasn't until he got used to the fairytale neon lights on the side of the highway that he entered the state analysis and said: "From the background of the copy just introduced by the system, there are only two information points that can be launched now, tourists will disappear in the circus, and there is always a shortage of cast and crew, do you think there is a connection between these two information points?" ”

Qi Yan had already walked in the direction of the neon signs, and his steps were brisk: "There are too few clues now, any analysis is just our guess, let's go, here, it's better to go and see the circus show first to relax." ”

Twilight fell, facing the wind, and the bizarre neon lights illuminated Qi Jiu's expression.

He seemed to be looking forward to it, completely devoid of the nervousness and uneasiness of the traveler, as if he were really a tourist going to a circus show.

Lu Zhi: "......"

From Qi Xiaonian, he had already heard of Qi Xiaonian's unique style, and now that he saw it in person, he kept sighing in his heart that Qi Xiaonian's description was in place.

Soon, the sky in the wilderness completely darkened, and under the neon lights, Qi Ji discovered that the circus tent was not just the green and white color on the leaflet.

At first glance, the tents scattered across the wilderness come in four colors: green-white, red-white, yellow-white, and blue-white.

And the number of green and white tents is far less than that of red and white, and in people's subconscious, circuses mostly use such red and white tents, because the red is eye-catching enough and symbolizes enthusiasm.

Under the neon sign, is the entrance ticket office of the circus,

A staff member in a blue uniform and stockings of the same color stood at the ticket gate and smiled warmly at them: "Welcome to the road circus, and we look forward to the two gentlemen spending three days in a wonderful show at the circus." ”

The staff member was tall, even stronger than Lu Zhi, wearing stockings and a wig, and the heavy makeup on his face looked more and more exaggerated and weird under the neon lights.

Apparently, this is a male staff member.

As he spoke, the staff handed over a handbook with "Safety Instructions for Highway Circus Tourists" to Qi Jiu and Lu Zhi: "This is the content of our circus safety rules, and as first-time visitors, please be sure to read the precautions on the rules carefully to prevent accidents." ”

"Okay, thank you," Qi Ji accepted the safety rules, and did not rush to open and check them, but looked around the ticket gate, and suddenly said politely, "By the way, there is something I would like to take the liberty to inquire." ”

Staff: "Please speak." ”

Qi Jiu: "I saw a recruitment information for cast and crew on the flyer, but the phone number in charge of recruitment at that time was pasted by the rain, do you know how to apply?" ”

Hearing this, the staff member with heavy makeup immediately pulled down his face-

Chapter 108: Highway Circus (2)

"As far as I know, our staff in charge of entertaining tourists have not been hiring people lately, and the recruitment you mentioned may be for cast and crew," the blue-uniformed receptionist narrowed his eyes slightly, "I don't know about this, maybe you should ask the relevant personnel." ”

Lu Zhi: "Can you give us a specific hint?" Who is involved...? ”

The receptionist looked him up and down with his arms folded and shrugged, "I'm sorry, it's not part of my job. ”

Lu Zhi: "......"

Unmoved by the perfunctory attitude of the hospitality staff, he took out a tip of 5 coins and handed it to the other party: "No matter what, thank you." ”

The hospitality staff was slightly stunned, then smiled and accepted the tip, he glanced at the two tourists and said: "The cast and crew in the troupe seem to be always recruiting, judging from this recruitment frequency, this doesn't seem to be a good job, otherwise the mobility will not be so large, and there will be no shortage of people forever, right?" ”

"You have a point, I'll think about it." Qi Zhen realized that it was the tip that played a role, and the receptionist at the ticket office was reminding them-

Judging from the reaction of the ticket sales and entertainment staff, only the cast and crew are recruited, so within the circus staff, the cast and the entertainment staff can be said to be clearly divided.

The wording of the hospitality staff also reflects the message that only the cast and crew seem to be more mobile, and the staff in charge of hospitality are not recruited on a permanent basis.

And in the eyes of the hospitality staff, the cast and crew don't seem to be a good job, and the other party's attitude doesn't seem to want the cast and crew to join the newcomer......

It seems that the atmosphere and relationships in the group are very complicated.

Before the two entered the circus, the hostess gave each of them a package ticket and informed: "Please note that except for the tents in the public area, the tents are one-time tickets, and the staff in the area will stamp the tickets for you after watching the show, so don't lose the tickets, this is your admission voucher." ”

There are a total of seven blank spaces on this stamp set to be stamped.

The repertoire is "Smiley Mask", "Scream", "Magic Hour", "Wonderful Zoo", "Puppet House", "Divination House", and one is marked "???" The black-and-white tent sign appears to be an unlocked circus show item.

On the back of the stamp is a simplified version of the map, which scribbles the extensive road circus into three areas: the performance area, the staff rest office area, and the passenger rest area.

Infrastructure such as restaurants, kiosks and accommodation tents are scattered throughout the passenger lounge area, while the staff area does not indicate the specific function of the tents.

Qi Ji said thoughtfully: "It seems that for the time being, as long as you complete the collection of these seven performance items, you can clear the customs." ”

"Brother Qi, these performances to be stamped should correspond to the traditional circus projects," Lu Zhi quickly analyzed, """Smiley Face Mask" I guess corresponds to clown performances, and "Scream" may be more exciting... Acrobatics or something? The titles of "Magic Hour", "Wonderful Zoo", "Divination House" and "Puppet House" are directly 'spoilers'. ”

Qi Yan nodded in agreement, and said thoughtfully: "Because it's so easy to guess, the name and content may not be so important, and the difficulty should be to get out of the tent alive." ”

The package also includes a thumb-sized, bright yellow round badge with a simple smiley face on it.

Qi Zhen confirmed that the smiley face was not the circus logo clown who was abused in his impression.

"When visitors enter the circus area, remember to pin this tourist badge in a prominent position, it is also a symbol of your status." The hostess's face raised a somewhat stiff smile again, "The precautions have been explained, so please enter the circus and enjoy the happy time." ”

"There's only half an hour left until the nearest performance!"

Lu Zhi: "What is the latest performance?" ”

The hostess giggled: "Before the show starts, who knows?" Maybe our circus crew is naughty and likes to improvise! ”

Lu Zhi: "......"

At this point, Qi Jiu and Lu Zhi got a "Safety Notice for Highway Circus Tourists", a package ticket to be stamped, and a bright yellow tourist status symbol badge.

Qi Yan took the tourist badge in his hand and looked at it, and Lu Zhi also observed it in his way, but he couldn't see the reason.

"Brother Qi, is there anything wrong with the badge?" Lu Zhi asked.

According to the instructions of the receptionist, Qi Zhen pinned the badge at the collar: "I'm just thinking, why is it yellow?" ”

Lu Zhi: "...... Ha? ”

Don't be good at the badge Qi Ji looked up, as far as the circus area could see, the number of yellow tents was the least at present, I don't know if the color of the tent has anything to do with the color of their badge.

"Color" seems to be a very distinctive element in the circus.

For example, the yellow uniforms and tourist badges on the hostesses were painted bright yellow......

But the assertions about color are only conjectures from Qi Yan, and in the absence of clues, these conjectures are likely to be useless.

Then, Qi Zhen opened the "Safety Instructions for Tourists"——

"Hello dear visitors, welcome to the Road Circus and believe that in the next three days of circus performances, we will give you a feast for the senses that you will never forget.

In order to ensure your physical and mental safety during these three days, please strictly adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Please note that there is only one entrance on the south side of the circus area, and a "Highway Circus" sign hangs above the entrance! If you accidentally see the so-called "entrance", please ignore it and leave immediately, do not attempt to leave the circus through the entrance, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences;

2. It is forbidden to leave in any way before the end of the three-day circus carnival!

3. There will be many stalls selling food inside the circus, please be cautious about eating drinks and food that are not provided by ████ staff (of course, the circus does not control the mouths of tourists, we only warn here);

4. Please do not trust staff outside of ████, even if they claim to be the most senior staff member of the circus, remember that only ████ staff will be willing to take responsibility for the safety of visitors;

5. Entering the tents of the staff and cast members is not allowed (the sign says "No Visitors Entering" is prominently displayed)

6. The circus will stop all performances at 12 o'clock in the morning, all visitors should go back to the tent before 12 o'clock to rest, please do not wander in the circus after the lights are out, if someone (whether staff or tourists) recommends the performance program to you at night, please do not follow it;

7. There may be performances in the circus that are not on the program list, so stay tuned!

Enjoy the show!"

As soon as he finished reading the first rule, Lu Zhi couldn't help but look back in the direction of the entrance gate, and then his eyes immediately widened-

As described in the guidelines, the original towering iron gate and eye-catching neon sign disappeared in an instant!

"It's really gone......"
