The snake-head mask covered the man's face, and Gu Mian couldn't see his expression, but it sounded like the man was a little confused from his tone.
"It seems that the carnivals in the previous two years were like this...
"I was not selected in the first two years, but other people from the base came to participate. Those who returned told us that they had no preparation before participating, and were taken directly to the stage. It is said that the superiors have formulated five programs , let’s improvise as we go up there.”
Gu Mian nodded slightly and said to 007 in the back row: "In the real world, circus audiences like to watch wild beast performances because wild beasts are very variable and difficult to tame. It is best to let them stay quietly on the stage and jump through fire hoops. It is a very difficult thing, and the audience likes to watch this kind of contrasting performance; just like a rich man suddenly goes bankrupt and becomes a beggar one day, and everyone who knows him wants to watch the fun."
007's expression was a little unnatural.
Gu Mian didn't pay attention to 007's expression. He continued: "But the circus in this world is different from the real world. The performers are obedient lower-class people. They will do whatever they are asked to do. The upper-class people The audience is of course not interested in watching performances that have been rehearsed by the lower class people step by step, so a carnival without rehearsals can arouse the interest of the upper class people more."
The superior people like to see them panic, so the program must not be easy.
At this time, a man's voice with a clear accent came from behind the red velvet cloth.
The footsteps over there have basically disappeared. It seems that the audience has all sat down, and the man who made the sound is probably the host of the carnival program.
It wasn't Koro-sensei's voice.
It seems that he lost his job after working in the circus.
Gu Mian turned her head and listened to the voice coming from behind the velvet cloth——
"Welcome to the third Carnival! Everyone must be eagerly looking forward to the Carnival this year!"
Then there were whistles and cheers over there, seemingly in response to the host's speech.
The tone of this host's hosting is similar to that of Mr. Koro, both of which sound quite perverted.
007 frowned as he listened to the voice: "The hosts have gone up, and it will be difficult to escape when the show starts soon. Should we leave now?"
She didn't want to see Gu Mian come on stage, not because of the idea of protecting him, but because she felt that Gu Mian was too unpredictable and might do something shocking on stage. He took out the saw with his backhand and gave it to everyone. There is a high probability of performing a "body and head in a different place" performance. If this is the case, I'm afraid they will be kicked out before finding the copy of the person they are looking for.
There are no guards here, so it's easy to leave.
But I don’t know if there are any noble people in the corridor outside.
If you were seen by a superior person when you went out, you would probably be executed on the spot.
"I want to go directly to find Louis, but this is my first time here. I don't know where he is. It might be very troublesome if he is discovered by other high-ranking people on the way." Gu Mian frowned, "Maybe he is here now. On the audience stage.”
The Snakehead Mask might know something.
007 thought for a few seconds, then turned to look at the snake-head mask in the middle of the crowd. She leaned over quietly and said very politely: "Hello, what kind of work does Captain Louis usually do during the carnival?"
At this time, the host's voice was still coming from behind the velvet——
"As in previous years, this year's carnival will also have five programs. There will be five groups of low-class people performing on the stage. We will number the low-class people at that time. You can vote for the best when you leave. Your happy inferior..."
In fact, it is similar to a draft. Those selected will receive preferential treatment from the superior people.
But whether it is really preferential treatment is another matter.
It seems that Snake Head Mask has not seen such a serious person as 007 for a long time.
These lower-class people usually do hard work for the entertainment of the upper-class people. They don't have the strength to talk much. They want to say anything in the shortest possible words. When they are tired, they are even unwilling to open their mouths.
But the new low-class person in front of him could still say words like "hello" and "excuse me" in a serious manner.
The snake-head mask was stunned for a while: "I don't know where he is, but people who have attended the carnival said that after the performance is over, he will come here to take away the low-class person with the most votes from the audience and take him to enjoy a good life... …”
007 is a little troubled.
Louie will take away the person with the most votes after the show.
This is indeed the most direct way to find Louis, but is it really necessary for Gu Mian to perform on stage? It makes my hair stand on end just thinking about it.
Imagine the scene of Gu Mian taking the stage, and then imagine the audience below. 007 closed his eyes, feeling miserable.
For some reason, 007 remembered the arm skin that was torn off by Gu Mian when he first met him.
She still remembered that when she woke up from a coma, she was told by Gu Mian that the skin on her arm was gone. At that time, Gu Mian waved the skin off her arm in front of her and stuffed it into her other hand, saying "I It doesn’t look like you’re hiding your human organs.”
I don’t know if the skin of these superior people’s arms can withstand tearing...
She turned to look at Gu Mian, only to see that he looked impatient.
007 suspected that if there wasn't a curtain blocking him, he would have rushed onto the stage.
If Gu Mian were to take off his mask, he would definitely have "Let me take the stage and win first place" written all over his face.
007 clenched his fists, feeling that the way forward was bleak.
And just when Gu Mian was immersed in the excitement of performing on stage, the people around him suddenly fell silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Gu Mian didn't know what was happening at first, until she saw everyone's heads pointed in one direction - behind him.
The host behind the velvet was still speaking his lines in a high-sounding manner, but no one here was in the mood to listen to what he was saying. They all looked in the same direction in fear.
This posture is similar to a player's face-to-face confrontation with a ghost in a dungeon.
Gu Mian turned her head to look behind her curiously, and finally saw the thing that silenced the other inferiors.
It's those kids.
They came back secretly, but they still seemed reluctant to let go of Gu Mian.
The leading boy stared at Gu Mian and showed his white teeth: "I'm back to play with you."
