Chapter 83 Can Mr. Clown also write love letters (22)
But people gradually discovered that children would always go missing wherever the acrobatic performance troupe passed. Later, people discovered that the acrobatic performance of this performance troupe was just a cover, and kidnapping children was their true purpose.
They use their status to easily win the trust of children, then hide the children in the performance troupe and take them out without anyone noticing. Children with good appearance can be sold to slave owners at high prices or to families who want children. .
Children with bad appearance will be transformed into part of their performance.
Later, this performing group was heavily hunted because they kidnapped a boy of high status, and the boy's parents paid a high price to retrieve the child.
It should be said that the crime was deserved. Later, a fire burned the acrobatic troupe completely, and the boy with a distinguished status was brought back by his father after four years. This was a happy ending.
When people were cleaning up the fire scene, they discovered a half-burned fairy tale book in the ruins, which told the story of Mr. Puppet.
At that time, some people lamented, "Do these evildoers still have childlike innocence to watch this?"
The acrobatic troupe that kidnapped children was burned down, which was a very happy thing. For several years after that, people around here did not welcome performances such as the acrobatic troupe. That is to say, year after year passed, and the things that happened back then were downplayed. Now Only things like acrobatic troupes are accepted by people.
Otherwise, the circus that has come recently will not be welcomed by everyone.
After Chu Xiang heard this story, her fingers unconsciously rubbed the pages recording Mr. Puppet's story. When she saw the so-called "happy" ending, she actually had the urge to tear up the book. .
The dark night in the circus seems to never usher in the dawn. The exhausted people walk in the dark night with no end in sight, and they feel anxious and uneasy.
Simon is dead.
At that moment, his throat was cut and he fell into a pool of blood.
Coco's shrill screams pierced the night sky. She forgot where she was and forgot to run away. Her soft and lovely face lost its color and turned pale.
One hand grabbed her and quickly pulled her to run. They got rid of the stiff fat lady and hid behind the feed pile outside the sheep pen.
Mason whispered: "Coco, are you okay?"
Coco trembled all over, "Simon...Simon..."
She knew that her identity was just that of a slave girl, so she had always wanted to leave Simon's control and Mason's play, and find true freedom. However, her heart was not a stone. Simon doted on her time and time again, so how could she possibly Not moved?
It wasn't until the day Simon died that Coco realized that he had such an important position in her heart.
But why did he die?
How could he die like this?
Coco couldn't help but regret, why did she care about Simon having a wife? If she could face her relationship with Simon earlier, would they have a different outcome?
Mason grabbed Coco's shoulder, "Listen, Coco, it's very dangerous here. My father is dead. Only I can protect you now. You must cheer up so that we can escape."
Of course, Coco knew that the only person she could rely on now was Mason. She covered her mouth to suppress her crying and nodded gently.
The coachman Isaac was very scared next to him, "Those people seem like puppets... They are so scary. This must be the devil. The devil locked us here!"
Mason said: "We can't panic, calm down, we will definitely get out of here."
His father is dead, the family property is his, and so is Cocoa. Mason has not fully enjoyed all of this, but he must not allow himself to die here.
In the dark night, the girl's laughter came.
"Oh, oh, oh, those poor people hiding in the sheepfold..." Lina chewed the biscuit in her hand. "Thor, do you think we should give them a chance?"
Thor chuckled and took a bite of the biscuit, "I'm so hungry. If they can give us a poor creature as food, maybe we can consider letting them escape."
The child's innocent voice echoed in the night, making it even more eerie.
Isaac immediately sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere. He quickly looked at Mason and said, "Master Mason, they must be deliberately tempting us. We can't believe what they say!"
"Of course I know I can't believe it."
Isaac breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, he was stabbed in the chest with a dagger. "But in this case, I have to try," Mason said.
Isaac's eyes widened, and the gold coins in his pocket fell out. He tried to struggle for a breath, but was kicked out by Mason like trash.
Mason grabbed the stunned Coco, "Let's go!"
Coco was almost dragged forward by Mason. She stumbled and didn't react yet.
She used to know that Mason was a young man with a bad personality, but she didn't expect that he could kill people so quickly and decisively. She suddenly remembered that the servants in the mansion said that since Master Mason was abducted when he was three years old, he would not be killed again until he was seven years old. After he was found, his personality changed a lot because of those four painful experiences.
He can play with her body at will, and he can also take other people's lives at will.
Faintly, you can see the light at the gate.
Mason saw hope, but right in front, there was an additional figure.
It was Miles, the hunched-over leader. His limbs were stiff. He raised one hand, covered his mouth and coughed. His voice was old, "Guest, since you are here, why bother to leave in a hurry?"
< br>
In the moonlight, the silk threads all around appeared faintly.
This huge circus is filled with silk threads used to control puppets!
And in the center where the threads gathered, amid the heavy shadows of the trees, stood a funny red figure.
Mason and Coco didn't dare to move. These threads were so terrifying that they could easily cut their throats!
In front of aliens, their power seems so insignificant.
Coco suddenly realized that it was impossible, they couldn't escape like this!
A thread moved, and the leader Miles "spoke", "Then, let's make a choice. Only one person can get out of here, who will it be?"
Mason held Coco's hand tightly and stood in front of Coco, "Who are you and why are you targeting us?"
Miles still only has the same sentence: "Only one person can get out, who will it be?"
As if in response to his words, the surrounding threads got closer and closer.
Miles laughed the same way: "Who will be my new doll?"
Mason quietly held the dagger behind his back tightly, waiting for them to get close, and then fought to the death.
But in an instant, the sound of a sharp blade piercing the bloody blade sounded, and Mason's back felt cold.
He slowly turned around, a look of disbelief on his pale face.
Coco grabbed the knife in her hand, trembling all over. This was the knife that the fat lady dropped intentionally or unintentionally after she killed Simon not long ago. She originally wanted to use it to protect herself, but she didn't expect to use it at this time.
Coco shed tears and said nervously: "I don't want to do this...but I don't want to be killed by you..."
She saw Mason's grip on the dagger and thought he was going to kill her like he had killed Isaac, so she struck first.
Mason tries to catch Coco, "How could you..."
But Coco pushed him away in fear, watched Mason fall to the ground, and hurriedly turned around and ran away.
Mason was seriously injured, and blood continued to flow from the wound on his back. The excessive blood loss made him weak. He could only listen to the sound of the bell getting closer and closer, and saw the figure appearing in front of him.
Mr. Clown squatted down, held his chin with both hands, tilted his head, blinked simply, and said cutely: "So you will be stabbed in the back one day, Dicks."
Mason's eyelids moved, and the name he had abandoned for many years appeared in his ears again. He looked at the red-haired and blue-eyed clown, and finally understood where the familiar feeling came from.
"It's...it's you!"
