I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 220, Section 1.16: A One-Man Audience
"Tomorrow is the September instance, right?" Mu Yin asked in a low voice.

"Hmm." Mu Yegui rested her chin on her hand, toying with a white crystal in her other hand, her cool silver eyes gazing at it with a deep, unsettling look.

During the three-month wait, she actually went to many dungeons and obtained about eight new items. She specifically chose special dungeons that would produce items, but to be honest, some of these items were rather useless.

Take, for example, the prop she's holding right now.

【44】Amulet Crystal

Grade: Grade A

Description: A mysterious crystal from a fortune-telling shop.

Passive: When danger approaches, it turns red and blocks one instance of damage for its master. If multiple items are present, only one will trigger at a time.

Cooldown: Once only
-
It's not very useful to her, as this item will automatically trigger if she falls, and it will break once triggered.

Unlike other items that can be activated actively, this thing will be activated passively as long as it is on your person and you are in danger, and there is no way to stop it.

If used well, it might save your life, but if used poorly, it's just an utterly useless piece of junk.

The item is located in a fortune-telling shop in the Fairy Tale Kingdom, inside a magical carriage. It comes from the Wonderland, but is hidden deep in the forest of the royal city.

The conditions for obtaining it are very simple; just make the astrologer's divination incorrect.

Anyone who learns certain guiding techniques can easily obtain this item. The dungeon is a single-player dungeon, limited to one person at a time, and will only open once a day.

The doorbell rang softly, and a handsome man walked in, finally standing in front of Mu Yegui.

Mu Yegui was slightly taken aback, then put away the ['44' Averting Calamity Crystal] and looked up at him.

He slowly knelt on one knee in front of her, took one of her hands in his, and looked at Mu Yegui with a slight smile in his blue eyes. His deep, magnetic voice carried a tender and affectionate tone, like a lover's whisper, "I hereby invite you to watch the first performance from the Amazing Circus."

"Mm," Mu Yegui responded softly.

Fish lowered his head slightly and placed a kiss on her index finger, his posture elegant yet alluring, like that of a devoted believer.

He slowly stood up, took Mu Yegui's hand, and led her out of the coffee shop.

Follow Fish into the huge circus tent, which was empty.

There were no props in the venue, and no audience members were in the seats.

The entire circus was now down to just the two of them.

Fei Xiu took Mu Ye Gui's hand and led her to the center of the first row of seats closest to the venue, where she sat down.

He then strolled leisurely toward the center of the field.

At this moment, outside the tent, the sky is filled with stars, and a full moon hangs high, obscuring half of the sky.

"Welcome to the Amazing Circus, I am the ringmaster, Fish." He was dressed in a tuxedo and top hat, holding a black cane, and his golden hair still shone brightly in the dim light.

With a handsome face and a slightly frivolous, nonchalant smile, his azure eyes quietly gazed at Mu Yegui, who was the only person in the audience. He gave her an elegant hat-tipping salute, his every move exuding gentlemanly grace, just like a legendary aristocrat.

The girl had long, soft, misty gray curly hair. She sat quietly in her chair, looking up at the man performing in the center of the stage. Her cool, silver eyes were deep and calm, like an ancient pool without a ripple, but she never took her gaze off the performer.

'In this circus tent filled with dark memories, I present my first performance in my original form.'

No need for extra spectators, just one person is enough. As long as it's this one person...

His azure eyes held a suppressed darkness and madness, like a black vortex capable of instantly captivating the mind. A nonchalant, flippant smile remained on his lips, his demeanor elegant.

[A strange guy.]
This was Mu Yegui's first thought when she met Fei Xiu, and indeed it was just as she had imagined: this person would pretend to be a player to mislead others and threaten them.

As a friend, this person can only be considered barely trustworthy.

But as an enemy, it's honestly difficult to fathom his mind. No one knows what he'll do next, and no one wants to be his friend.

Even after spending so much time together, he never revealed what his abilities were.

[The essence of the Joker is breaking conventions: disregarding rules, ignoring etiquette, and being unacceptable to the world.]
He removed his top hat and tapped it three times with his black cane.

The next second, a flock of white pigeons flew out in a rush and flew out towards the window opened at the top of the tent.

"Hahahaha—" Accompanied by a sharp, maniacal laugh, he put on a colorful clown costume, stepped on exaggerated pointed shoes, and completely covered his handsome face with thick white paint, painting exaggerated expressions on his face.

It looked like she was laughing, but also like she was crying.

Mad and twisted, just like his original elegant and handsome appearance, this is his most extreme and dark side, filled with all his negative emotions.

A complete madman and a pervert.

'Ding~' The clock officially struck twelve.

The entire kingdom began to gradually change its original appearance the moment the bells rang.

The buildings gradually disappeared, as if amusement park rides were displayed in the sky, changing little by little.

Finally, the original buildings disappeared, and the six kingdoms became a huge amusement park.

At each intersection, a crystal cube floats in the air, shimmering and illuminating the originally dim grounds and the lights of the amusement facilities as if it were daytime.

The streets grew noisy as children dressed in loose clown costumes ran and jumped about, laughing and making random jokes.

The dolls wandered the streets, performing all sorts of amusing acts, but none of the players found them interesting.

Because the moment the clock struck twelve, the place they were in began to change. When the clock struck twelve, all the familiar scenes disappeared, leaving only unfamiliar amusement facilities full of fairytale charm.

With a long roar from an elephant, the monkeys followed the parade, banging drums and gongs.

Just like at the beginning, players who couldn't avoid the trampling were instantly crushed into mincemeat.

Screams and fear filled the entire kingdom; no one was happy about the sudden change.

At that moment, a child's voice, as devilish as a demon, reached everyone's ears.

Welcome to 'Amazing Circus Night of Madness'! Please hand over your invitation to the staff member in costume nearby within three minutes to register.

It's too late, you might die!

The September instance officially begins tomorrow.
