[Infinite] End Game

The back of Lynn's head hit the ground, making a loud noise. He looked up at the old ceiling and the man's distorted face because of anger, and still raised the corners of his mouth, smiling happily.

"Who are you! What do you want to do!" Terry pulled Lynn up by the collar with one hand, and eagerly wiped the paint on his face with the other hand, but the thin layer of paint was like the first The second layer of skin was as strong, and Terry tried so hard that every finger trembled, but he couldn't see Lynn's real appearance, and then he was forcibly pulled away by Brandt.

Tang Yu felt a little strange. Although Terry kept asking about Lin En's identity, he didn't dare to look into Lin En's eyes.

He couldn't look at those eyes that seemed to hold the hooks that bound the sinner and seemed to be settling in the swirls, and he was, afraid.

But, if you are so afraid, why do you have to provoke Lynn several times?

While thinking about it, Terry had already broken away from Brant, and Lynn rubbed his face indifferently, and slowly got up while propping himself up on the ground.

This time Terry didn't rush up again, he just took a deep look at Lynn and then withdrew his gaze, turned to the mayor and asked stubbornly: "I know, I can assure you, they must have brought The plague, all died because of him, Abel, they are evil spirits from hell, they are the beginning of all disasters. Mayor, he will kill more people, please drive them out."

Terry's attitude could be called pleading, but the mayor still didn't answer.After a brief silence, Alex sneered, and said sarcastically, "You're really sure, but don't you know? This isn't the first time the plague has happened."

"--what?" Terry raised his head in surprise.

"That's it. The first case appeared half a month ago. Including Abel, six people have died. Therefore, it is really true to say that the plague was brought by the circus..." Brant didn't continue. , just shook his head.

Terry's voice was full of bewilderment. "But, why didn't anyone tell me?" He became excited again, his hands clenched into fists: "Why didn't you tell me!"

"... About this matter, I ordered it." A voice rang out flatly, but it hit Terry hard like a whip.He froze all over, and could only listen to the pastor's words: "I forbid them to reveal the news to you. If you didn't happen to see it, I don't want you to know about Abel."

"..."

Terry raised his hand and grabbed the clothes on his chest, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, but this time, he finally stopped talking.

"We will stay here to deal with Abel's funeral, and Brant will send everyone back. I am really sorry for today's incident, but please keep your promise and keep today's incident a secret." The mayor reserved Nodding to Lynn and the players, Brandt walked over and made a please gesture.

Before leaving the room, Tang Yu heard the mayor sigh again, and said to the black shoemaker, "Alex, please send Terry back too."

Brant has always ensured that everyone returned to the yurt of the circus. On the way, some townspeople came forward to ask questions driven by curiosity, but they were all sent away by Brant. As a candidate for the next mayor, he There is still a certain prestige among the townspeople.

And when it comes to the status among young people, apart from Brandt, Terry's identity seems to be worth investigating.

One is that he can make people come to surround the circus, and the other is the attitude of the mayor and priest.Anyone who opened their eyes could tell that the mayor's attitude towards blocking the news was very firm. Tang Yu guessed that the only young people who knew what happened in this village were Brant and Alex.Brandt naturally needless to say, Alex's words seem to be following the orders of Mr. Pastor, and at the same time, he also seems to be Terry's replacement.

Yes, it is a substitute.

The mayor and priest didn't want Terry to know what was going on in the town not because he was unqualified, but on the contrary, out of an almost protective purpose.

Moreover, the atmosphere between Terry and the pastor was also very strange. This strange feeling made Tang Yu believe that something must have happened between them, and it was precisely because of this that Alex replaced Terry faintly. status.

Otherwise, with Alex's dark and gloomy appearance and unpleasant personality, he felt that he would not touch the center of power in the town.

Although this trip was delayed for most of the morning, the information obtained was quite a bit. After returning to the tent, Lynn did not ask the players to practice their own projects, and the players gathered together in twos and threes to discuss their respective activities. the opinion of.

"The performance is going to be performed tomorrow night. Is it okay if we don't ask everyone to practice?" Tang Yu stood beside Lin En and asked after thinking about it.

"It's okay." Lin En smiled shallowly when he heard the words, he turned his face, stared at Tang Yu with those strange eyes, and said, "Anyway, no matter how well we perform now, the mayor can't put We got kicked out."

"Is this the so-called 'panesetcircenses'?" Tang Yu's eyes flashed, and he slowly read out a sentence in Latin, which means 'bread and circus'.

The origin of this phrase can be traced back to Juvenasli's satirical poem, to the effect that those in power in the Roman Empire used to firmly control power by diverting attention and only satisfying the people's temporary needs-namely food, clothing and entertainment. , but in the final analysis, it is actually a superficial appeasement method and a policy of obscuring the people.

In the eyes of the satirical poet, it is probably no different from the hypocritical hospice care for slaughtered cattle and sheep. What is even more ridiculous is that after a thousand years, such methods are still everywhere.

But in any case, the more undercurrents are surging, the more stable the surface is, and the more you want to divert attention, the more you need a circus.

Right now, they just represent a symbol.

A joyful, peaceful, carefree symbol.

Lin En glanced at Tang Yu when he was speaking but didn't answer, just walked away on his own.Seeing Lynn's back slipping into the backstage covered by the curtain, the five people in Deep Sea winked at each other, and then found a hidden place to get together.

"Any thoughts?" Louis asked first.

"There must be ideas, or it might be better to say that there are too many ideas!" Wei Liu scratched his head, feeling that his brain had been stuffed with too much information in a short period of time, not that he was not smart enough to understand This is information, but analyzing the plot has always been something he doesn't like to do.

"I think there are a few things worth investigating." Lin Xiwen touched his chin and said, "The first thing was revealed when the mayor spoke. How did this town develop?"

"The second is the relationship between the pastor and Terry. Why didn't Terry know about the plague. The third..." Lin Xiwen narrowed his eyes enigmatically: "It's the source of the plague."

"There is one more," Tang Yu added, "Where did Lin En go last night?"

"Well, there are quite a lot of clues," Lin Xiwen thought for a while, and finally decided: "Let's investigate separately."
