Didi, Didi, Didi, Didi-

Didi, Didi, Didi, Didi-

Dilili, dilili, dilili, dili-

It was night, and cheerful music resounded throughout the circus.

Everyone is excited that Jenny Lind is the new head of the circus, except General Thumb.

He sat in front of the bonfire in the circus, silently watching the laughing crowd not far away, his ugly face was full of gloom.

"Why are you unhappy, Tom?"

Noticing the gloomy [General Thumb] in the corner, [Bearded Child] no, it should not be called [Bearded Child] now, it should be called Annie, came to sit next to [General Thumb] and said.

"Why should I be happy."

Looking up at Anne beside her, although the beard on her face was eliminated with the help of [Swedish Nightingale], Anne's figure is still much stronger than normal women.

"I tried my best to please Barnum, but it died. I finally thought that I could replace it and become a new circus, but failed. I have been looked down upon and ridiculed all my life, even by the circus. Would rather choose Jenny Lind as the new ringmaster than me."

From [General Thumb]'s words, Anne could clearly detect the dissatisfaction and resentment in his tone.

In this regard, Annie didn't say much, just put her hand on his shoulder: "But, you don't need to do that anymore, Tom, Barnum is dead, and no one will force us to exchange freak performances for Laughter from the audience, if you don't like how you look and act, you don't have to do it."

"I could really change this outfit."

Hearing Annie's words, the expression on [General Thumb's] face was silent at first, and then confirmed with some uncertainty.

"of course."

Regarding this, Annie nodded her head without hesitation.

Although the appearance of the [Bearded Woman] after removing the beard is still a bit rough, the answer she gave made the expression on [General Thumb's] extremely excited.

Twitching the corners of his mouth, showing an ugly smile, [General Thumb] looked down at the circus uniform on his body and tore it apart, revealing his skinny and short body, with two tears streaming from his eyes.

……

Crunch, crunch—

However, no one in the circus noticed.

During the carnival, a short figure slowly walked out of the circus with stiff steps.

Turning the neck made a piercing rubbing sound, turning the head 180 degrees to watch the cheerful circus behind him, the wooden eyes in the eye sockets turned up and down.

[Clockwork Puppet] Turning his neck back to the original position, with the rotation of the clockwork on his back, he walked towards the outside of the circus step by step.

At this moment, the walking puppet suddenly stopped its steps, and the clockwork behind it was still spinning on its own.

The wooden eyeballs in the eye sockets noticed the strangeness around them, and under the gaze of the puppet, everything around them began to become distorted.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and thin figure over two meters tall, wearing a suit and a black hat with only sharp teeth exposed, holding a twisted umbrella, walked crookedly in front of it with twisted steps.

Twisting her body, she leaned over and stared at 【Clockwork Puppet】.

……

"I'll be honest, I think it's all for naught."

Washington, at the end of the alley.

Sitting in the car silently watching the alley in front of him, the BSI agent in the passenger seat couldn't help complaining.

"Even if there really is a 'mysterious' bar in this alley, I don't think it will appear in broad daylight."

"Agreed, but you have to talk to the headquarters about this."

Hearing the complaints from his colleagues, the BSI agent who went to the driver's seat nodded in agreement with his words without hesitation.

But, looking down at the file in his hand, he shrugged helplessly and replied.

"..."

Hearing this, the BSI agent in the passenger seat immediately shut his mouth.

After all, they are just ordinary agents under BSI, acting according to orders.

"At least you should be thankful that our mission is only to monitor the alleys in Washington, and not to be assigned to other small towns or unknown places to investigate mysterious incidents. Otherwise, those BSI agents are on the missing list. There may be two more names."

"Speaking of which, haven't all the missing agents been found? Even the three BSI agents who disappeared earlier were also found. What's going on? It is said that even The army was also mobilized to the scene?"

Due to the principle of confidentiality, BSI did not disclose the details of the missing agent.

These BSI agents only learned part of the incident from some rare clues.

"It's not just the army. I've heard from agents from other departments that the mental state of each of these missing BSI agents has been affected to a certain extent, especially the three who disappeared at the beginning. Currently, the headquarters has arranged for them to Forced psychotherapy, unable to move until full recovery of psychological condition is recognized."

"It is said that some of the detectives have not been able to eat normally until now."

"real or fake?"

After listening to the description of the agent in the driver's seat, the expression on the face of the BSI agent in the passenger seat was a little surprised.

Although he heard a little information about the disappearance case, it was far from the details of the other party.

"Nine out of ten..."

After clicking to confirm the authenticity of the description in his mouth, the detective in the driver's seat turned his eyes back to the information in his hand.

On the above, the objects they monitored during this trip were clearly introduced.

The full name of BSI-028 [BSI-028 bar].

It is an alley located in ███, ██ Street, Washington District. There is no abnormality in the appearance of the alley. Anyone who passes by under normal circumstances cannot see the bar. Powerful illusion, preventing ordinary people from getting into it by mistake.

The initial information about the water pool came from the [psychic medium].

According to the description of BSI agent ███ who entered the [BSI-028 Bar], the interior of [BSI-028 Bar] is a retro-decorated bar, playing 90s retro music, and there are a large number of people in [BSI-028 Bar] Guests, it is still impossible to determine whether these guests are originally part of [BSI-028 Bar], or entered from the outside.

[BSI-028 Bar] itself belongs to [BSI-029 ███].

Warning: Any contact with [BSI-029 ███] must not be done privately, and must be reviewed by BSI headquarters before proceeding.

【BSI-029 ███】Extremely Dangerous!
