Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]

inside the playground.

Juan the Leopard dutifully guarded the cage where the sacrifices were held.

Before, he also noticed the movement at the foot of the mountain.But he didn't go hunting with Joan - Ronnie had assigned him the task of guarding the sacrifice, which was his only duty.

Sacrifice is very important to the sacrificial ceremony, and it will directly affect whether they can be promoted to priests - only this point, there must be no mistakes.

But Joan had been gone for a long time.

She chased those humans into the dense forest, but she hasn't returned for a long time, and Su Le, the human-faced eagle who was supposed to be patrolling the dense forest, has not appeared for a long time...

All this gave Leopard an ominous premonition.

He somewhat wanted to advise Ronnie to hold the sacrificial ceremony in advance; as for those stubborn awakened ones, let them stick to their stubbornness and go to the ground to sleep forever.

But he wanted to guard these sacrifices and couldn't leave.Without Joan, no one could even take his place temporarily.

The leopard man exhaled, and the night wind wrapped his bare back. He seemed to smell some kind of death in the air.

On whose head did death fall?

Juan didn't know.

*

Juan the Leopard had undergone many operations by Sanchez Bagot, and several times he almost died on the operating table.He walked through the gap between life and death several times, and even when he returned to the human world, the shadow of death was still with him.

But he wasn't in pain like the other circus monsters—everything like anger or fear had stayed away from him since Sanchez had a part of his brain removed.On the contrary, he has more time to meditate and feel.

The monsters of the circus were transformed by Sanchez Bagot with a scalpel.They all hated Sanchez for making them so inhuman.So the monsters howled and struggled from time to time, vowing to take revenge.

But later, Juan often regards himself as an outsider to observe his companions: the combined body of man and beast is horrifying, but the ugliest part of them should come from human characteristics.

Human hatred and resentment ruined them.This is why they look neither human nor ghost.Sanchez's transformation technology is superb, and even the aesthetics are quite online. Every "exhibit" transformed by him is flawless in appearance, and even well reflects various aesthetic feelings: the enchanting and charming of the snake man , the mysterious solemnity of the human-faced eagle, the fierce beauty of the horseman, and the wildness of the leopardman... It is a pity that the shells of these "legendary creatures" are filled with genuine human souls.The most important thing is, only in the human group, they can't really be called good people.Therefore, as long as the monsters come alive and show various expressions, they will reveal the mundane temperament of human beings, which will destroy the beauty of their appearance on the contrary.

This is also the problem that Sanchez Bagot has been trying to solve in the later period.

Juan the Leopard is his experiment.

It turns out that after Juan underwent surgery, he became completely different from his companions.He became much quieter—but the longing for death in him grew stronger every day.

In order to confirm the effect of the operation, Sanchez Bagot once gave him a psychological assessment.

He asked Juan, "Do you still feel pain".

Juan's answer was: "It's not painful, but I'm still bothered by the distortions of the circus and the distortions in myself—you're doing something very wrong, Dr. Sanchez."

Sanchez Bagot raised his head and glanced at the Leopards. They rarely spoke calmly like this: "I'm just performing a just trial. You are all sinners, and you deserve such treatment."

So the leopard man was silent for a moment.

"But you took away my fear and pain." Leopard Man said, "Is this your benefit to the old employees? You want to forgive us? Otherwise, why would you conduct such an experiment?"

"—Sinners can't feel the pain of punishment, is it still called punishment? Or, you have completely changed your original intention, and now you only want to create an unprecedented and unprecedented legendary circus?"

Leopard people rarely talk so much.

His tone and demeanor were very calm, like a gentle missionary.But to Sanchez Bagot, the Leopards were aggressive.

Once upon a time, Sanchez Bagot set up a circus with the goal of revenge for his wife and Dr. Hill, in order to make these villains engaged in organ trafficking pay for their lives.Most of the income of the circus was anonymously funded by him to the impoverished families whose organs were stolen.

However, he has gradually become obsessed with creating those magical creatures—if this trend continues, Sanchez Bagot's experimental subjects will definitely not be limited to the group of "deserved" people like Joan and Thomas.

Sanchez Bagot will soon fall.He will soon forget his principles and original intentions as a human being, and become a freak dominated by desire and madness-this is the real depravity.

Come to think of it, Dr. Thomas is in organ trafficking and transplantation just because it's profitable.

And Sanchez Bagot put people and animals together simply because he wanted to put people and animals together.He's made an art out of this brutality, and will soon start killing perfectly innocent people.

If you really want to compare, who is more like a monster?

"...you have no right to criticize me." Finally, Sanchez Bagot said almost annoyed.

The Leopard Man said, "Maybe."

Finally, Sanchez Bagot asked the Panthers one last question.

"What is your wish?"

This is the last question on the psychological evaluation form - it seems a little ironic that this question is asked by Sanchez.Because the life of the Leopard is completely controlled by Sanchez.He didn't seem to be asking about the leopard man's wishes, but more like the Creator condescendingly giving the leopard man a chance to dream.

Sanchez Bagot thought the Leopard Man's wishes would "please" him.

But the Leopard gave a completely unexpected answer to Sanchez.

"I want to be an animal," said the Leopard Man. "A real animal."

In his eyes, the world of animals is far cleaner and purer than that of humans.

But Sanchez Bagot could only keep silent.

Because of this wish, he was indeed unable to realize it.

The only motivation for Juan the Leopard to remain in the monster camp is to "become a shepherd".

Although the shepherds are half-human and half-animal creatures in name, they are the retinue of the god of the jungle. They have both the purity of animals and the rationality of humans, and are intelligent and noble.

——Compared with "Shepherd", the monsters in the circus are simply copycats.

Juan firmly believed that after he was promoted to a pastor, the world in his eyes would be different.

Therefore, this sacrificial ceremony must not go wrong.

He looked frequently at the foot of the mountain, hoping to see the shadow of his companion.

The caged people gathered together in horror.

Not long ago, natural disasters came to Chongning City.A good amusement park is taken over by wildly growing green plants in a blink of an eye.Then those half-human, half-beast monsters came out of the dense forest and gathered all the fleeing people together.If anyone dared to resist, they would be executed immediately.

Because this place used to be a playground, many people came to play with their families. They were also restricted when they escaped, and they were all locked in cages in the end.

Many parents also brought underage children.

They covered the child's eyes and ears, held it tightly in their arms, and stared at the monster standing not far away with fear but vigilance.

Juan turned a blind eye to their hostile eyes.

Da da.

There was a crisp sound of horseshoes.

The blond centaur walked towards Juan slowly with vigorous steps.The white fur is soft and bright, glowing in the night.

"Good evening, Juan." The centaur's name was Ronnie, and he held a spear in his hand and said with a smile, "Where did Joan go?"

Juan: "She went hunting."

There was a faint displeasure on Ronnie's face.

"Sometimes I very much hope that she has a little pastoral self-consciousness." Ronnie said, "As a messenger of God, but unable to resist the animal nature in her body, it's really outrageous."

"What are you doing here? Is the ceremony about to start?" Juan asked.

"No..." Ronnie gave a negative answer, "The lizard tribe 'Lassed' who are the witnesses of the ceremony are already in place. We have to present a good show for them first..."

Ronnie smiled and pointed to the cage behind Juan: "Take them all to the altar."

There were probably dozens of people in the cage, and at a glance, it was a vast expanse of darkness.

"All?" Juan asked.

"Yes, all of them." Ronnie nodded.

As a result, the distressed people were kicked out of the prison, wearing shackles on their feet, and walked towards the altar in groups.

People walked tremblingly, and when they reached the altar, everything in front of them made them collapse even more——

Several execution racks stood on the altar.Those who were tied to the execution frame were the "awakened ones" who had said before that they would come to rescue them.

And around the altar, there are three tiers of stands.

A group of dark figures like crows sat around the stands.They were covered in black robes that dragged the floor, not even a finger was exposed, and they wore simple gold masks on their faces, and pairs of black eyes were staring at the direction of the crowd.

When they got closer, people could see clearly that there was a long lizard tail behind those humanoid creatures.

A boy was frightened and threw himself into his mother's arms. Tears rolled down his eyes, but his mother tightly covered his mouth.

do not Cry.

The woman finished mouth-shaking tremblingly, lowered her head, and used her body to block all external sight for the child.

[We need healthy, pure offerings. ] Among the monsters in black robes, only one has a long tail as silvery as moonlight, and its tongue trembles at a low, strange frequency, [You need to select the sacrifices well. ]

"The selection ceremony will begin immediately."

Ronnie nodded and waved his hand. The rattan on the execution rack broke instantly, and several wounded awakened fell to the ground.

"From now on - we will organize a duel." The centaur raised his palm and said to the crowd, "Everyone will be divided into two camps. On one side are ordinary people..." Ronnie pointed behind him A few awakened people who just got up, "On one side are the awakened people."

"Whoever wins will have the opportunity to get rid of his prison status and sit in a safe stand until the duel is over."

"...How about it, who is interested in being the first challenger?"
