The two of them worked together very well. Every performance was successful and they made a lot of money. Gradually, the circus became famous and was invited by the owner of a large amusement park in the city to settle in the amusement park.
In this way, you can have a stable performance venue without having to travel around.
The clown leader made an appointment with Xia Lanlan. When they make enough money, all the deformed children and actors in the circus will be properly placed, and the two of them will live a stable life.
However, all this was broken by the arrival of the old general and his companions that night.
Because the old general rushed onto the stage without hesitation, drew his sword and hacked to death the clown leader and all the actors, including the human-faced bird.
The scene ends.
I returned to the circus tent again, and the clown on the stage was still looming in the black mist.
"That man was indeed Lan Lan's father, but he decided that we were human traffickers without asking any questions. He abducted Lan Lan, turned her into a human-faced bird, and then killed us."
"He also killed Lan Lan. There was a conspiracy."
The Joker's voice was filled with anger.
"I once wanted to help Lan Lan find her family, but Lan Lan disagreed. She was very scared and said her family would kill her, especially her father."
"So she would rather stay in the circus than go home all these years, but she didn't expect to be killed by her father in the end."
I asked: "Why did the old general kill his own daughter?"
"I don't know, there must be something hidden in this, but it's a pity that Lan Lan never told me."
I thought about it.
"You are not willing to be killed by the old general in such a confused way, so you are still here to cause trouble, right?"
"Of course we are not willing to give in. This is dozens of lives."
"And Lan Lan, her soul was too weak after her death and she was already gone. But before she was gone, she said something to me."
"What words?" I asked.
"Kill him and avenge me."
I was stunned.
"Xia Lanlan wants you to kill the old general to avenge her?"
"Yes, that man is not worthy of being her father. He is a devil. I hate myself for not protecting Lan Lan. Even if I become a resentful spirit after death, I will find that devil and avenge her and us. "
"Then you go directly to the old general. Why are you entrenched here and harming others?"
The clown smiled bitterly.
"We thought too, but the owner of the amusement park found a master from Hong Kong Island and set up a magic circle outside. We are trapped here and can't get out at all."
"And the longer time passes, the weaker our souls become, until they slowly dissipate."
"So I can only use my statue, using money as a temptation, to control people's minds, seduce their souls, and get them to the amusement park. In order to reduce karma, I dare not directly kill them."
"So you force them to do five rides."
"This is voluntary on their part. They want to get 1 million, so if they die in the game, they can only bear the consequences."
"And I took the opportunity to swallow their souls to make my own soul stronger so that it would not dissipate so quickly."
"Are you struggling to support yourself because of revenge?" I asked.
"Yes, if it weren't for revenge, we would have been reincarnated long ago."
"But it's been three years, and we can't even see the devil's face. Revenge is far away."
"Then why don't you give up?" I asked.
Even if you use a clown statue to control those people to play in the amusement park, kill them, and suck their souls, it won't last long.
After all, the earthly world is not a place where ghosts stay.
"Someone told us that although we can't take revenge, we will wait for a destined person. That destined person is a righteous man and an expert. He will help us take revenge."
"That's why we're struggling to stay afloat."
"A destined person? An expert? You mean..."
"That person is you." The clown's voice came.
"How do you know it was me?"
"Of course I have my own methods. You can come to the amusement park and play to the last item, which is proof enough."
"So you want me to help you get revenge?"
"This is our only way and the only chance. We ask the master to agree."
There was sudden pleading in his voice.
I said: "I understand, from the beginning of Zhuang Qin to the end when you asked a little girl to give me a clown statue and led me here just so that I could help you take revenge."
"But why should I agree? Although you died unjustly, you turned into evil ghosts and are here to cause harm to others. I am here to catch you, not to avenge you."
The clown suddenly fell silent.
After a while, there was suddenly more and more black smoke on the stage. I was surprised, what? Are you about to fall out?
My ghost-patterned hands were buzzing, ready for a fight.
But suddenly the black mist dissipated again, and everything inside was filled with dark shadows.
I was surprised again when I saw it clearly.
They were the ghosts of disabled people. Some had four legs, some had two heads, some had hairy faces, and some had heads as big as buckets.
The clown's voice came again.
"Did you see it? They were born with deformities and were abandoned by their relatives. After being adopted by me, they finally stabilized in the circus, but they didn't want to die under the knife of the old devil."
"What's wrong with them? They also have lives."
I was blown away.
A healthy life cannot feel the pain of a incomplete life.
But at least I know that these are indeed lives that were abandoned and finally killed. They were ruthlessly deprived of the right to survive and turned into resentful souls.
They were all filled with resentment.
The clown leader said: "We are gathered here with great resentment, but where does our resentment come from? It was imposed on us by others."
My heart beats faintly.
I said, "Okay, I agree."
The clown leader was stunned.
"You promise to help us get revenge?"
I nodded.
"You have to think about it, that person has great power and a very special status. In the hot summer, he is as unshakable as a mountain..."
"I said I would avenge you, no matter who he is." I interrupted him.
He was silent again.
"I keep my word." I added.
The clown leader knelt down for me, and the resentful spirits of the deformed people also knelt down one after another.
"You must also let go of your grievances, go where you should go, and stop harming others here." I said.
The thick black fog slowly began to fade.
Their resentment gradually dissipated.
Without any resentment, they would naturally have to leave.
"We let go of our grievances and go to the underworld to plead guilty. Even if we are sent to the 18th level of hell, as long as you can avenge us, everything will be worth it."
Just as the clown leader finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
"It's a pity that he can't avenge you. Everything is in vain."
