This Actor Is Full Of Tricks

"What's wrong?"

Chen Fu noticed Lin Jue lagging behind and stopped to ask.

"My foot hurts a bit…" Lin Jue said, rubbing his knee while stealing glances at the person looking at the photos.

Only after that person moved away did he pull Liao Fan to Chen Fu's side and lower his voice: "Captain, I suspect there's something wrong with those people who came in just now."

"Is it because you've experienced strange…" Chen Fu, noticing Liao Fan's presence, also lowered his voice: "…that you've seen so many of those things that you're suspicious of everyone?"

Lin Jue explained the matter of the Mist Puzzle and shared his speculation: "According to my guess, these Children of the Mist might all have some kind of physical ailment.

This might be the price for being a fragment of the key.

Just now, I saw that the man in the photo also seemed to have some kind of illness."

"There's a disease called Angelman syndrome, also known as Happy Puppet Syndrome.

Patients with this condition usually exhibit intellectual disability, cannot control their smiles, and often experience explosive laughter."

Chen Fu's expression grew increasingly solemn as he listened.

Mainly because what Lin Jue said was too shocking.

It was a secret that even their Supervisory Division didn't know.

They hadn't been into the dense mist area; otherwise, they wouldn't have made such a big fuss to find the path to the depths last time.

Walking into the mist, the deeper you go, the more distorted your sense of direction becomes.

They returned empty-handed last time.

According to headquarters' speculation, perhaps only by using some special strange artifact could they find that path.

But now, someone was telling him that the depths of the mist were blocked by a lock, and the key to opening the lock was a group of guys called Children of the Mist.

If it were someone else, Chen Fu would only think it was a fantasy, but if it came from "Zhou Yue's" mouth, then he had to consider it carefully.

Chen Fu walked to the photo wall, looking at the man with the exaggerated smile in the photo: "So you're saying that the purpose of those people just now was to catch this person?"

Lin Jue covered Liao Fan's ears and said, "Of course, this is just my guess.

Just pay more attention later."

Chen Fu was a smart man; he knew what to do without further explanation.

After walking into the circus, the space inside wasn't large, accommodating at most about a hundred people.

Moreover, not many people had come in yet, so Lin Jue saw those guys at first glance.

Chen Fu exchanged glances with Xu Xiaoqi and Huang Yong, and the group chose to sit in the row behind those guys.

Originally, those guys were whispering something, but when they noticed someone coming, they all shut their mouths.

This strange behavior further confirmed Lin Jue's guess: these people were definitely going to cause trouble later!

As time passed, people gradually came in, but not many.

Even when the performance started, there were only twenty-odd people seated, with most of the seats still empty.

Chen Fu took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Jue: [If you're really right, then when something happens, you're only responsible for protecting the child next to you.

Leave the rest to us.]

Lin Jue replied with an 'Okay'.

He hoped he was wrong, after all, he had finally brought Liao Fan out to play, and he definitely just wanted to relax and have fun.

It would be really upsetting if something unexpected happened.

As cheerful music began to play, the performance officially started.

It was all commonplace acrobatic performances, making people feel bored.

Some people even left halfway through.

However, Liao Fan watched with great enjoyment.

Each performance was a brand new visual experience for this child, and the smile on his little face never stopped.

At this moment, he really seemed like a six-year-old child.

Children's thoughts are very simple; playing with people they like is the happiest thing for them.

Perhaps bringing this child out a few more times would help him recover a lot.

He only hoped that this time could end on a perfect note.

After a few acts, the host came on stage, his voice transmitted through the microphone: "Next, a very special performer will take the stage."

"Although he suffers from a disease, he is still dedicated to bringing laughter to everyone.

Let us welcome our clown performer with applause to bring you joy!"

Amid scattered applause, a staggering man walked up.

He wore exaggerated clown makeup, his mouth wide open, every tooth clearly visible.

As soon as this clown appeared, whispers came from the audience.

No one would have thought that this circus would actually hire such an abnormal employee.

The arc of that smile had exceeded the normal range of humans, and even seemed somewhat like a pseudo-human, making people shudder just by looking at it.

"It's that man," Lin Jue, who had been slumped in his chair, suddenly sat up straight.

At the same time, he noticed that the people in the front row also sat up straight, leaning forward slightly, like hunters poised to strike.

The clown was performing the simplest ball-catching act, but his limbs were extremely uncoordinated, as if every exertion would cause muscle spasms.

Even though he failed to catch the ball several times, he still insisted on continuing the performance.

Boos filled the audience, and the clown on stage must have been nervous, his smile becoming even more exaggerated, even accompanied by strange 'ha ha ha' sounds.

This smile couldn't bring joy at all, it could only make people feel terrified.

The more nervous he was, the more he couldn't restrain his spontaneous laughter.

He was like a child trying hard to please adults, but the more he did, the less people could understand, and it even made them feel creeped out.

"It really is Angelman syndrome…" Lin Jue secretly glanced at Liao Fan next to him.

This child wasn't frightened by the clown's smile; on the contrary, he was watching with great interest.

This act managed to stumble to a finish.

The clown was trembling uncontrollably, he stretched out his right hand, drew two arcs in the air, and then placed it in front of his chest, bowing to the audience.

Even if the performance wasn't perfect, he still had to take a bow with gentlemanly etiquette.

"Good!" Lin Jue took the lead in applauding, and Chen Fu and the others around him were also very supportive.

But at this moment, Lin Jue noticed that black smoke was billowing from the body of one of the people in the front row, and a bloody hand was placed on that person's shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, the lights above the stage suddenly shattered, and the entire circus was plunged into darkness.

Wielding the strange, as expected, they're people from the New World!

They're going to make their move!

The disappearance of the lights plunged the venue into chaos, screams rising continuously.

Lin Jue grabbed Liao Fan next to him and hugged him into his arms, covering the child's eyes.

"Cover your ears, don't worry about what you hear or see later, Uncle is here."

Liao Fan's small body was trembling.

The sudden change frightened the child greatly.

After hearing Lin Jue's words, he obediently covered his ears.

Perhaps because he was being held by Lin Jue, he could smell that reassuring scent more clearly.

The body that was still trembling gradually calmed down, just like a child afraid of the dark hiding in his father's arms.
