This actor is full of tricks.

The next morning at eight o'clock, Lin Jue checked everything in his bag to make sure nothing was missing.

"A bronze bell, a wrench, a raincoat, a pencil sharpener... and how did this portrait end up in the bag?"

Lin Jue noticed that Sun Jiankang's father's portrait was tucked into the gap of his backpack. He looked at the wall and saw that it was indeed empty.

"I don't remember pretending. Did this portrait just walk in by itself?" Lin Jue stood up and hung the portrait back on the wall. "Grandpa, do you want to help me too? You're so old. I appreciate your kindness. Don't worry, everything will come to a perfect end today."

After saying that, he went into the bathroom to wash up. During this time, he spoke with Chen Fu to confirm the situation there. Chen Fu told him that the team that came from Xinzhou had arrived in Sanjiang. Minister Bai had handed over the task of handling the strange incident to that team and the Firefly Team. He and Chen Fu had secretly sneaked into the amusement park in the middle of the night yesterday, waiting for the people from New World to arrive.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jue slung his bag over his shoulder and hurried to the amusement park. The stage was already set up, waiting for him, the lead actor, to take the stage.

There were more people at the amusement park today than in the past few days, perhaps because it was the weekend. Lin Jue searched for suspicious-looking people in the crowd as he walked toward the circus.

Brother Wang had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw him arrive, he smiled somewhat reluctantly and said, "You've come."

It's clear that the other side is a bit nervous. After all, they are about to face a battle of extraordinary abilities. It would be a lie for ordinary people like them not to be nervous. It's already quite impressive that the other side is still standing here.

Lin Jue wanted to pat the other person on the shoulder to comfort him, but then he remembered that he was now Sun Jiankang and gave up the idea. He just said in a low voice, "If a fight really breaks out later, remember to take those two colleagues and hide. Whatever you do, don't show yourselves. I will arrange for people to protect you."

The circus opens at nine o'clock, and there's still half an hour before it opens. Lin Jue is hiding in the backstage dressing room and has released Xiao Ming and the Mirror Ghost, instructing them to protect Brother Wang and the other ordinary people.

"Can't I join the battle?" The mirror-like female ghost, a battle maniac, looked completely bewildered.

"Your mission is more important. Although you need to take care of those guys, you can't let the innocent get hurt. You guys stay behind and protect Brother Wang and the others. The residents of Yangtao Street will also protect the other tourists."

For this operation, Lin Jue mobilized all the resources at his disposal. Fu Yu had been hidden in the amusement park two days ago, and all the residents brought by the other party were scattered in various dark corners of the amusement park.

It's fair to say that while amusement parks may appear to be full of living people, they have actually become eerie places, hiding more monsters than living people.

Although the mirror ghost really wanted to fight, she respected Lin Jue's decision more. After nodding in agreement, she went into the mirror. Xiao Ming also obediently hid in the staff break room toilet. This student seemed to have a special fondness for toilets, as he also hid in toilets when he was in school.

"Huh? Grandpa, what are you doing in my bag again?"

Lin Jue saw the portrait again in the gap of his backpack; the person had quietly slipped into the backpack sometime earlier.

He had no choice but to take out the portrait again and put it in the drawer of the dressing table. The old man was just an obsession with little power, and even though he wanted to help the other party, he really couldn't do anything to help.

“This obsession seems a bit different. After entering the amusement park, I feel that its strength seems to be increasing.” He Wen suddenly spoke up from behind the raincoat.

Is their strength increasing?
Lin Jue frowned. Was it because this amusement park was originally Sun Jiankang's father's territory? So the other party's strength increased after arriving at the amusement park?

He asked, "How much has it increased?"

"Not quite E-level yet, but not far off. It's strange; this is the first time I've ever seen obsession increase strength." He Wen was very puzzled. She had been in the mist for several months and had seen many obsessions, but this was the first time she had encountered something like this.

“The world is full of wonders, and even obsessions can evolve into the bizarre; it’s just that the right method hasn’t been found yet.” Lin Jue said, picking up his phone to check the text messages Chen Fugang had sent him.

[A large number of tourists have suddenly arrived at the circus; members of the New World group are likely mixed in with them. Be careful.]

Lin Jue put his phone in his pocket and started applying clown makeup in front of the mirror. He wore black eye makeup, bright red greasepaint, and colorful, loose clothes, making him look comical and bizarre.

He carried his bag and slowly made his way to the stage, hiding behind the curtain to observe everything in the audience.

Because of the small number of staff, there were fewer shows. However, in order to prevent the members of New World from noticing anything unusual, Lin Jue specially asked Brother Wang to give the two remaining staff members intensive training so that they could learn more shows.

There were about forty people in the audience, the largest number of audience members since Lin Jue came to the circus. But Lin Jue felt that at least half of the audience were from the New World, or even all of them.

At the same time, he noticed Chen Fu and Bai Yao sitting in the far corner, who, like him, had been keeping an eye on the audience.

"It's almost your turn to go on stage." Brother Wang leaned closer at this moment, his body trembling slightly. The two employees on stage were currently performing a dog training routine, and according to the usual program order, Sun Jiankang's clown performance was next.

This means that a major battle is about to begin.

Not only him, but the two employees on stage were also very nervous and made frequent mistakes during the performance, with both their rhythm and movements becoming distorted.

After enduring the long wait until the performance ended, the two actors hurriedly fled the stage with their dog.

"Go to the staff lounge and wait there. I've arranged for someone to protect you. Don't wander off. Right now, it's probably not just the circus; the entire amusement park is likely under that organization's surveillance. If anything unusual is detected, you could lose your life."

Lin Jue tried to calm the two employees down, but when they heard that they would be protected by the supernatural, their already pale faces turned completely bloodless.

"Don't worry, they're all very cunning."

Lin Jue patted the two employees on the shoulder and gestured for Brother Wang to go on stage to connect the programs.

In order not to give himself away, Brother Wang had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on stage with a forced smile, interacting with the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's give a warm round of applause to our circus's best employee, Sun Jiankang!"

"He will bring you the most entertaining and fun performance, hoping to wash away your daily fatigue and worries!"

"Welcome with applause!"

Amidst sparse applause, Lin Jue, dragging his heavy clown costume, staggered onto the stage.

The show is about to begin! (End of Chapter)
