Chapter 245 The Opening of the Circus

"Lisa, here!"

Entering the circus tent, the first thing Lisa saw was the densely packed audience in the circus. Her eyes swept across the stage in the center of the circus, and then paused for a while at the performance setting suspended in mid-air.

At this time, a familiar voice came from the auditorium on the side.

Following the sound, Lisa noticed the acquaintance sitting in the corner, who was holding the child and pointing to the empty seat beside her, obviously calling them to go and do it.

Faced with the greeting from an acquaintance, Lisa looked down at the seat number of the ticket in her hand, hesitated for a while, and finally walked over under the enthusiasm of the other party.

Didi, Didi, Didi, Didi-

Didi, Didi, Didi, Didi-

Dilili, dilili, dilili, dili-

Just as Lisa sat down.

The happy music sounded in the circus, and looking in the direction of the music, I saw a funny red-nosed clown sitting in front of the piano and playing cheerful tunes, with a very busy appearance, constantly Playing, pulling, and blowing the various instruments on his body, he also stepped on the drum stand to play a complete music tune and played the opening music.

Accompanied by the opening music played by the clown.

The head of the circus limped on crutches and appeared in the middle of the circus.

The lights in the tent hit its fat body, and the head of the circus under the top hat turned his eyes to scan the guests watching the performance, especially when he glanced at Lisa, he paused subconsciously.

Then, he raised his hands and shouted: "Guests, welcome to the Barnum Circuit Circus, where you will see the best circus performance in the world!"

Hearing the rhetoric of the head of the circus, Barnum, the audience at the scene had different expressions on their faces, but they still gave applause in cooperation.

Amidst the applause, Barnum showed a smug expression on his face. He raised his eyes and glanced at Lisa's direction again, and then announced the first circus performance on crutches: "First of all, it is the world who will perform on stage. to the precious birdman acrobatics..."

With the introduction of the head of the circus, Barnum.

Three feathered figures appeared on the stage stepping on a rolling ball. They held each other's hands and performed various funny moves on the rolling ball. Throwing makes the whole show look more interesting.

Obviously, during this time in the circus, the three of them have already become familiar with their identities, and have practiced a fairly qualified burlesque performance.

"...these three feathered birdmen were excavated during a tour of the circus. They are triplets with one mother and three babies, and they are covered with colorful feathers from the moment they are born. , Because of this appearance, they encountered indifference and discrimination in the process of growing up, until they met my circus, the circus accepted them and gave them new hope..."

During the performance of the three, Barnum, the head of the circus, kept bragging about fabricating a false past, using this method to attract more attention from the audience and focus on the performance.

"You see they're covered with feathers?"

"Is this real or fake?!"

"I guess it's fake. How could there be feathers growing on people's bodies..."

"However, looking at the appearance of the three of them, these feathers seem to have really grown on them, not like they were glued on."

The feathered triplets undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention from the circus audience. They looked at the three people on the stage and couldn't help but start discussing the authenticity of their feathers.

"Just now, did the head of the circus glance at us?"

In the midst of these discussions, Lisa, who was sitting in the back, had a look of hesitation on her face.

Ever since the head of the circus, Barnum, appeared on the stage, she had been feeling the gaze of the other party, seemingly falling on her.

"How is it possible, this should be your illusion, Lisa."

In this regard, the acquaintance sitting next to her obviously did not believe this, and said a few words of comfort casually, but still focused on the three people performing in the center of the stage.

"Tell me, are the feathers on their bodies real, Lisa?"

……

"The name of the town is Bandera..."

Here, the circus performance is officially staged.

At the same time, after a brief investigation, Amanda and the others also joined together again.

"It is said that it is also known as the 'cowboy capital of the world'."

When the name Bandera Town was mentioned, Angela subconsciously glanced at Amanda, who was listening to her report with a blank expression on her face.

"That explains why so many people in small towns dress up as cowboys."

Everyone in the team took into account Amanda's emotions and didn't discuss much on the topic of the cowboys.

Spike obviously didn't care about that.

Faced with Spike repeatedly making fun of her past cowboy experience, Amanda was a little annoyed at first, but after a long time, she didn't care too much.

Ignoring Spike's annoying tone beside her, she continued to look at Detective Zhou in front of her and asked, "Apart from the history of the town, do you have any other important discoveries?"

"The situation in the town is very calm, there are not many useful things. If the only thing worth paying attention to is that a wandering traveling circus has come to the town."

"circus?"

Hearing the report given by Detective Zhou, Amanda hadn't spoken yet.

Spike on the side interjected, "So, do they know what kind of circus this is?"

"I heard that the circus is a freak show..."

Facing Spike's questioning, Agent Phil answered in recollection.

"Some people saw a lot of deformed people in the circus. Many people didn't go to the circus because they couldn't accept this style of performance."

Not everyone can accept, freak show performance.

There are many people watching the circus performances, but there are also people who don't like these performances.

"Since it's a freak show circus, they must have a lot of animal performances, right?"

Since it is a circus performance, animal performances are inevitable.

Hearing Spike's question, Amanda naturally didn't think it was the other party asking about the content of the circus performance.

She frowned, and quickly reacted.

"You mean, these carriages come from a circus."

"Having so many carriages is a very special situation in itself, and having so many animals at the same time without being obtrusive, the most suitable object is a traveling circus that will bring a large number of animals around to perform. !"
