Chapter 25 Night of the Full Moon in the Circus
Chapter 25 Night of the Full Moon in the Circus
Its daybreak
Qiao Yiqi looked at the gradually brightening sky outside, stood up, and then looked at Figo: "Been cheated by the earl for ten years, you are also a talent."
"...I really didn't think of it..." Figo muttered.
"Oh, think about it here first." Qiao Yiqi said, "I'm going to find Elizabeth and see if Elizabeth has anything to say. After all, she is the closest to the Earl..."
Coming out of the Earl's manor, Qiao Yiqi went straight to the circus without going anywhere else.
Yesterday's circus was dedicated to clowns, but whose special performance will be in today's circus?
It's fun to think about.
It's just dawn now, but people on both sides of the street have already started to set up stalls and sell things.
Some people went to the circus to keep watch after eating, and some even started to chant "Elizabeth" to each other.
Qiao Yiqi didn't care about others, he was also waiting for Elizabeth.
Those who were still in the circus didn't keep everyone waiting too long, they came soon.
From a distance, Elizabeth was seen wearing a pure white skirt, the most expensive necklace and white gloves, looking noble and elegant.
Everyone was very excited when they saw her coming. Some even reached out to shake her hand, but they were stopped by the bodyguards around her.
When he was about to walk to today's performance tent, Elizabeth smiled at him specifically.
The man next to Qiao Yiqi was drooling and shouted: "Elizabeth smiled at me, she smiled at me!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, you are obviously smiling at me."
"Shut up all of you, Elizabeth is smiling at me, what are you trying to be passionate about?"
Only Qiao Yiqi knew that Elizabeth was smiling at him, she was provoking him.
"Tsk."
Now he is more sure that this woman must know something.
When Elizabeth was far away, he raised his foot and walked towards her.
This time in another tent, the layout inside is the same as yesterday, but this time, there are many props above the stage.
Still full of voices.
Qiao Yiqi stood at the back just like yesterday, he didn't have much interest in today's bloody performance.
Today's star is the magician.
Same person as yesterday.
The magician wears a smiley mask and a tall hat is put on his head.
His clothes look baggy and may not be his size, which makes him look ridiculous.
"Today, I will bring you a wonderful performance."
The magician took off his hat and bowed towards the audience.
Then, he shook the hat in his hand to indicate to everyone that there was nothing in it.
Then the other hand reached into the hat, groped in the hat for a while, and pulled out a rabbit in full view.
He tugged on the rabbit's ears to show everyone that it was a live rabbit.
But obviously this performance couldn't arouse everyone's interest, and more people focused their attention on Elizabeth sitting in the first row.
The magician didn't feel embarrassed, he didn't seem to care much about the audience's feelings.
He smiled slightly: "Next, I need an audience to cooperate with me."
At this time, only a few people raised their eyelids slightly, but they soon went back to look at Elizabeth, as if nothing was more important than Elizabeth in their eyes.
The magician looked around and pointed out a person, "It's just you, you can cooperate with me."
The person pointed at was not shy either, and went directly to the stage.
The magician moved his hat, signaling him to stand under it.
The man did as he was told, and stood under the hat.
The magician made a "V" gesture to him, and then said to the people below, "Now is the moment for us to witness the miracle."
I saw the magician put the hat on the head of the audience. The original normal-sized hat became extremely huge at some point until it completely covered the person on the stage.
There was a roar from inside the magic hat, and there were some inaudible sentences.
All these make the audience look at the magician on the stage, and they are also curious about what happened after that person was covered by this magic hat just now.
Some people even went to see the magician frequently, but the magician always smiled and said nothing.
Until the sound inside stopped, the magician clapped his hands and said in the gentlest voice: "Let's guess, what will happen to that person inside?"
"Rabbit!" said in unison.
"Hahahahaha, I don't think so." The magician smiled mysteriously, "Maybe it's something more fun than a rabbit? Let us witness this magical moment."
The hat became smaller and smaller in the hands of the magician, and at the same time, the bloody smell became stronger and stronger, until the bloody smell was the strongest when the situation under the hat was exposed.
A white bone appeared in front of everyone. Unlike people's impression, this white bone shook his hand that had turned into a white bone and was about to fall off the skeleton at any time with the audience.
In other words, this bone is alive.
The air was silent for a while, and the audience burst into cheers in an instant.
"Hey, can he change back?"
"Of course..." The magician deliberately paused, "I can't, don't you think he looks good like this, without those empty skins, showing everyone his truest appearance."
"Oh~"
"Indeed, this look is much better than his original look."
"This is the real him."
"This look is really second only to Elizabeth's beauty."
"I don't know when Elizabeth will show us her true side like this?"
"Oh, my God, don't say it, I'm so beautiful in Elizabeth now, I can't help myself."
The crowd is below and whispering.
The magician was still smiling on stage, as if he hadn't heard the discussion.
Just because the magician doesn't care, doesn't mean Elizabeth can't care, "Okay, today's performance is over now, I'm glad that everyone will like the magician's performance."
"This time the performance section is much better than before."
"That's right, that's right, the previous ones were too boring, this time it's a bit more interesting."
"Elizabeth, can you tell us what show is tomorrow?" Someone shouted.
"I don't know about this. Let's talk about tomorrow's matter until tomorrow. After all, you have to leave something to look forward to in life, don't you?" Elizabeth smiled softly, and winked mischievously at the speaker.
"Good sister, you're not willing to reveal a little bit to us." A slightly younger boy said coquettishly to her.
Elizabeth smiled and patted his head, "I really don't know about this, and I don't know if you ask me." She also made a distressed expression just right.
It's hard for people to say anything like this.
"Okay, okay, everyone can go to other places to play, today's circus also unlocked a lot of new games."
Qiao Yiqi thought about the voice in the magician's hat just now, if he remembered correctly, this voice was the voice he made in the middle of the night in the small hotel a few days ago.
that monster.
When Elizabeth came out of the tent, she saw Qiao Yiqi leaning against the fence.
"Hi, handsome."
"What's the matter?" Qiao Yiqi glanced at her.
Elizabeth looked a little aggrieved, "Don't you want to find me first?"
As he spoke, he put his arms on his shoulders.
Qiao Yiqi looked at her arm on her shoulder, "Take your humerus off, I'm not interested in your human skeleton."
"You hurt my heart." Elizabeth smiled. Although she didn't want to take it down, she took it down obediently.
"My boyfriend will be unhappy, you know, I will not betray my boyfriend." Qiao Yiqi stared at her, as if trying to read something from her face.
Elizabeth shrugged, and said indifferently: "Well, your boyfriend has a very good boyfriend, this is really his honor."
"Really, I think so too."
"Then, my dear stranger, what do you want to know. I may tell you something while I am in a good mood."
"Do you think the Earl really loves Emily?"
Elizabeth was taken aback for a moment, not expecting him to ask this question.
"How do I know, I'm not the Earl."
"I think he might really like Emily." Qiao Yiqi didn't reply to her words, and said to herself: "But I can't figure out why the Earl would cause Emily's death. After all, he loves her so much."
"Who knows."
The air was silent for a while.
Neither of them spoke. Just when Elizabeth thought Qiao Yiqi would not speak again, she heard the man ask again.
"Is the count really affectionate?"
Elizabeth turned her head to look at the man.
"Are you doubting the earl's affection? The most undoubted thing in this world is the earl's affection."
"Then tell me, the Earl obviously loves Emily so much, why is he still having an affair with you after Emily died?"
"So this level is ambiguous in your eyes?" Elizabeth felt inexplicably funny, and seemed to be recalling something: "This level is ambiguous in your eyes."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Yiqi looked at her, "Then what do you think is ambiguous?"
"Then you can't do that kind of thing with other women, what else can you do?"
Qiao Yiqi: "Then do you know why the earl put Emily's body in the manor, and why not in the cemetery behind the church?"
Elizabeth was a little surprised, "He didn't put Emily's body in the cemetery?" Then she said clearly, "Maybe the witch told him."
"Witch?" It was not the first time he had heard this person.
"The witch once said that if you keep your loved one by your side, you will have a chance to wake up your lover's sleeping soul, so that your lover will return to you, but who would believe such a thing."
"Did the count believe it?"
"That's right, the Earl believed it. This is a matter of awakening the soul. If you want to awaken someone without paying a price, isn't it a fantasy." Elizabeth sneered.
