Those years when I was taken away by the boss

"Excuse me...how did he become like this?" Xu Zhou hurried to Zhong Ruji and asked worriedly.

Zhong Ruji remembered this person.Xu Zhou never fights or grabs in the space, but cares a lot about Shu Shi who extended a helping hand to him at the beginning.

"You don't need to know." Zhong Ruji said. When passing by him, he paused, stopped, and asked with his head sideways, "Are you performing or watching?"

"Performance." Even though Xu Zhou didn't know what this meant, he answered his question immediately.

"Hmm." Zhong Ruji looked back at the clown who had been following him, unconsciously softened his brows, and said to Xu Zhou, "If you want to repay, you should try your best to protect him while ensuring your own safety. "

He really doesn't like to entrust his people to others for protection, but having one more person gives him more protection, after all, he can't guarantee that he can take care of Shu Shi throughout the whole process.

"Then can I ask, what is this...what's going on?" Xu Zhou said, halfway through the clown looked up at him, and he immediately got stuck.

"His situation is quite special, and I can't explain it clearly." Zhong Ruji said patiently, looking at the other people who were avoiding him, "You just need to protect him, and don't ask for anything else. Don't let some people with evil intentions Just take advantage of the loopholes and leave the rest to me."

Seeing the clown lowered his head again, Xu Zhou agreed, "Okay."

Chen Ziqian pulled Fu Yi's sleeves and stared at Zhong Ruji, and after a while he moved his head towards Fu Yi: "Is that number 19? Is he possessed?"

"En." Fu Yiying, except for Xu Zhou, they are the closest people to Zhong Ruji, so they can see it more clearly, "It's not completely integrated, it's about four or six."

While Chen Ziqian was observing, he was still in the mood to refute Fu Yi's words: "How could it be? Isn't every ghost going to September [-]st? How could people take the lead, at least five or five."

"Wang Shuo must be so happy. He never expects others to be good. This is good. Something happened." Chen Ziqian said again.

Fu Yi was helpless: "What do you care about him?"

"It's not good to see him." Chen Ziqian said bluntly, turning his head and aiming at the villain who was watching the show, and then retreated after watching for a few seconds, "How can there be such a person who hurts others and does not benefit himself, and it is not good for him. An idiot."

Fu Yi answered his words patiently: "He wants to kill No. 19 and live in the ghost's house, thinking that in this way he can be protected by the ghost."

"Idiot." Chen Ziqian cursed again, "He was the first one to kill No. 19."

"He is willing to court death, we don't care about him."

Chen Ziqian laughed out loud, as if he had been poked into a laughing hole, he was so happy that he couldn't control it: "Hahahaha I'm convinced, hahaha you are right!"

Their movement was so loud that Zhong Ruji looked sideways, Fu Yi calmly yelled at him: "Be careful, everyone is watching you."

Chen Ziqian immediately suppressed himself into a bun, but he still laughed tremblingly.

Fu Yi sighed, and turned him towards Zhong Ruji.

Chen Ziqian, who had endured so much effort to endure the laughter and almost failed, found No. 4 was looking at him, all his expressions instantly subsided, and he even calmly said to Fu Yi, "Yes, I think what you just said is very reasonable."

Seeing the tears from his laughter, and comparing the speed at which he became serious in seconds, Fu Yi suddenly felt helpless.

Without an NPC to lead the way, the clown naturally assumed the position.

Zhong Ruji followed behind him unhurriedly, and the other party always turned to look at him.

Although they are parasitic, the two souls get along very well, even Qiu Xiao is still giving way to Shu Shi.

Zhong Ruji didn't know how much of Qiu Xiao's mind accounted for before he woke up, but he knew that the number was definitely not less than seven.Regarding Qiu Xiao, he didn't want to comment too much, and it was naturally a good thing that the other party was willing to treat Shu Shi well.

The clown led them for a few minutes, turned a corner, and everyone saw the entrance of the venue without an iron gate.

When they got there, everyone stopped.

Zhong Ruji glanced at the clown, then lowered his eyes.

The scenery along the way was completely different from before. Chen Ziqian tugged Fu Yi's sleeve, frowned and asked, "Is this road too short, and the door is gone?"

Fu Yi looked at the back of the person in front of him, and whispered nonchalantly, "Didn't you notice? There is no team today."

Chen Ziqian was taken aback for a moment: "It's all performances..." He turned his head to look at everyone, no one was walking into the open venue, all of them belonged to the performance team.

No one can escape today's performance.

Zhong Ruji in front of him squinted his eyes, Xu Zhou walked a few more steps and came to him, seeing that he seemed to be looking at something, thought there was something wrong, so he carefully asked: "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing."

Xu Zhou felt strange, but didn't ask any further questions.

The clown has been staring at the auditorium for a while, without blinking his eyes, and just keeps looking at it like that.

Everyone waited for a long time, and some people were already impatient, but Qiu Xiao's lingering prestige was still there, and no one dared to make a mistake.

As the atmosphere fell silent, Zhong Ruji saw overwhelming loneliness in the clown's eyes.Although he wears a smiling face, the color of his eyes is enough to affect the whole look.

Zhong Ruji was not far away from the clown, he walked a few steps, put his hand on the clown's shoulder, and said, "You should get ready for the performance."

The clown turned his head abruptly, with a strangely distorted expression on his face, he suddenly held down Zhong Ruji's hand, holding on tightly.

Many people were frightened by his ferocious appearance, and they couldn't help but make defensive postures, but Zhong Ruji just frowned, and looked at him with crazy eyes.

The clown's lips kept trembling, and his bloodshot eyes fixedly stared at Zhong Ruji. After a long while, he leaned his neck back and closed his eyes, and briefly looked at the people around him.

The clown opened his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he frowned, lowered his head abruptly, and let go of Zhong Ruji's hand at the same time.

After a while, the clown raised his head again, smiled at everyone, and said in that smiling voice, "Everyone, come with me."

The blending and pulling of the two souls makes the voice that belongs to Shushi present two different timbres.

The clown led them to the backstage, and the backstage scene was quite different from before.

The original waiting area has become narrow, and the backstage belonging to the animals no longer exists. The conditions are simple, and the treatment is very different from the treatment they received for the first time.

At this moment, Chen Ziqian tugged Fu Yi again: "Hey, in this scene, are we... umm!"

Fu Yi covered his mouth and gritted his teeth in a low voice: "You talk a lot."

Chen Ziqian looked at him suspiciously, shook his head to signal him to take his hand away, and protested loudly: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Fu Yi understood, but he didn't intend to let go.

Chen Ziqian glared at him angrily, reached out and twisted his waist.

"Hiss..." Fu Yi frowned in pain, and his hands loosened a lot.

Chen Ziqian took the opportunity to break his hand, moved half a step after being relieved, and then poked Fu Yi again: "Gag me again and I will kill you!"

"All right, all right, you can do whatever you want." Fu Yi coaxed, "But don't worry if you have something to say, ancestor?"

Fu Yi pulled him over and said, "I understand the meaning, but don't mention this in front of No. 4, and there are still some people around, so you have to be careful."

Chen Ziqian glanced at Zhong Ruji, who happened to be looking at him too, his eyes were indifferent, but it made him very stressed.

"Oh, I see." Chen Ziqian withdrew his gaze and said embarrassingly.

Zhong Ruji closed his eyes, and he was sure that the number 4 they were talking about was himself.

It seems that not all the beginners are newcomers, there are at least one or two who have participated in many intermediate missions.

"Isn't number 19 very dangerous? If this happens again, he will be the first to die." Chen Ziqian whispered to Fu Yi in the smallest voice.

"No." Fu Yi replied to him.

Chen Ziqian hissed, touched his chin, looked at the clown and then at Zhong Ruji, and said again: "It seems that there is something going on."

"While worrying about others, you should also be worried about yourself." Fu Yi sighed, glanced at the curtain, and then at Chen Ziqian, "I don't know what role it is, so be careful, huh?"

Chen Ziqian gave him a look and let him experience it for himself.

Performance, performance, this is a term they have heard all the time since they came in. There was an NPC leader before, and they were not too at a loss. They have been familiar with the process of the performance after a while, but...

"Without a playlist, what are we going to perform?" someone asked.

"What program do you want, have you seen any animals?" Chen Ziqian muttered.

"It's good if you don't know, it's dangerous to know what you're performing." Qian Wenxu said.

Chen Ziqian was relatively close to him, and after hearing this, he glanced at him, then bumped Fu Yi with his elbow, and moved his lips slightly: "I think Qian Wenxu is a man to be made."

His voice was similar to that of a mosquito buzzing, and Fu Yi couldn't tell anything from his barely moving lips, so he said "ah" very honestly.

Chen Ziqian looked at him blankly, thinking that what he said just now had nothing to do with them, so he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Wang Shuo was observing No. 4 and the clown when someone around him suddenly whispered something in his ear.

"Qian Wenxu, do you know something?" Wang Shuo shouted to Qian Wenxu from half a meter away.

Qian Wenxu glanced at him and said, "It's nothing, I guessed."

After witnessing Wang Shuo's perseverance in seeking death, a small number of people cut off contact with him, such as Qian Wenxu, Chen Ziqian and Fu Yi.

Qian Wenxu didn't want to have anything to do with Wang Shuo anymore, so there was no need to tell him what he knew.

Just when they were discussing vigorously, many people's voices suddenly came from behind the curtain, and the vacant venue seemed to be full of people in an instant.

Zhong Ruji lifted a corner of the curtain and looked around, the viewing seats were full of people.

He put down his hand and glanced at the clown beside him.Everyone's task today is to cooperate with him to complete the performance.

Zhong Ruji lowered his eyelashes.And his task is to prevent death from happening again.

In a blink of an eye, the performance started, and the familiar voice of the curtain call was still the opening remark.

"Welcome to the Crazy Circus, please enjoy the wonderful performance brought by our circus staff!"

Everyone stayed in the background, Xu Zhou and Zhong Ruji stood together, looked at the clown who was preparing to go on stage, and asked: "He wants to perform, what should we do, should we go to the stage together?"

Zhong Ruji asked: "Will you be acting?"

Xu Zhou was puzzled: "Huh?"

"Follow the circumstances, play by ear, be careful not to provoke people, and you'll be fine." Zhong Ruji said, "On stage or off stage, it's up to you."

Xu Zhou half-understood, looked at Zhong Ruji, hesitated to speak, finally moved his lips but still didn't say anything.

Clown acrobatics are nothing more than those thrilling acts, and the Madness Gala made it clear that day.Reducing a multiplayer performance to a single performance is the challenge that Qiu Xiao and Shu Shi have to face at the same time.

The clown had previously shown that he loved acting so much, but now he was hesitant to go on stage. He frowned, as if hesitating for something.

Wang Shuo didn't know why, but the people around him took a step forward and walked in the direction of the clown.

"Hey, why are you going?" Wang Shuo called out.

The man didn't answer him, but walked behind the clown, shoved the clown violently, and said expressionlessly: "What are you doing! You want to stop acting?!"

The voice turned out to be exactly the same as the male voice broadcast by the loudspeaker.

The clown stammered, "No, no, I just..."

Before he finished speaking, the man said again: "Just what is only, there is no only! Hurry up!"

Wang Shuo was dumbfounded.

"Oh... I'll go right away..." The clown seemed to be afraid, and after answering, he opened the curtain and walked from behind the stage to the front of the stage.

After he left, Zhong Ruji also lifted the curtain and went out, Xu Zhou consciously followed.

After the clown left, the person who had just trained him seemed to wake up from a dream, and sat down on the ground in fright, muttering, "It's not me...that's not me..."

Wang Shuo felt weird, walked up to him and asked, "What happened to you just now? It's like being possessed by an evil spirit."

"No...it's not me, that's not me..." The man was talking to himself, completely ignoring Wang Shuo, "No, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

Seeing his insane appearance, Chen Ziqian touched his chin: "Is this how much you can bear it?"

Fu Yi looked at him helplessly, and said, "You were so scared that your face turned pale when you experienced it for the first time."

"If he won't let me fall to my death, why would I be so afraid?!" Chen Ziqian said confidently, "There are so many ways to die, and I can die any way, but I want to fall to my death!"

"Okay, okay, it's his fault." Fu Yi said along with him.

"Hmph." Chen Ziqian didn't care about him, seeing Zhong Ruji going out, he pulled Fu Yi, "Come on, the 4th went out, let's join in the fun."

The voice of the announcer has changed.

"Next, the acrobats will bring the most popular performance of the Crazy Circus - Blindfolded Throwing Knife, and please ask the staff to push the clown."

Only a few seconds later, when Zhong Ruji came to the stage, he found that the clown's outfit had changed.He was wearing white long sleeves and black and blue suspenders outside, and the makeup of the smiling clown made his chin thin.

Zhong Ruji took a few more glances until the clown reached the wall under the standing board, and he raised his leg and walked over.

Eight ropes were spread out on the wall, and the clown went up to it and bent down to tie the ropes that bound his ankles.

After binding his legs, he took a breath and raised his head to see Zhong Ruji, smiled and said, "Thank you."

Zhong Ruji said "hmm", and the clown raised his arms cooperatively.

He tied the rope into a loose loop and looped it around his hand before pulling it tight.

Xu Zhou followed and seemed to understand something when he saw his movements.

This kind of knot seems to be tied tightly, but it is easy to break free.

After fastening his wrist, Zhong Ruji squatted down and untied the knot on his ankle, and tied it again.

After finishing all this, he stood up and said to the clown who was looking at him, "Have a good show."

The performance was about to start, Zhong Ruji walked back to the stage, and explained to Xu Zhou who was walking all the way: "He is a ghost, we need to protect him well, once his death scene repeats, there will be trouble for those who played the staff."

This time Xu Zhou understood, nodded and asked, "Are all the original staff members dead?"

"Ah."

"Killed by ghosts?"

"Don't ask knowingly."

"... Oh." Xu Zhou kept his mouth shut, trying not to say much.

Before walking halfway, the people around him began to tremble from the corner of Zhong Ruji's peripheral vision. He noticed something was wrong and looked over, and Xu Zhou's expression also changed.

Zhong Ruji was not surprised, and said in the usual tone: "I wish you good luck."

Driven, Xu Zhou took the black cloth that had been left for a long time and walked towards the clown, blindfolding his eyes in an indescribable gesture.

He looked at the clown's limbs and saw that all the ropes were tied well before he walked to the side of the stage and picked up the blindfold that was going to be on the side.

In front of the iron net, facing the viewing seats, he blindfolded himself amidst cheers and cheers, and took out a sharp knife.
