The Asylum of All Worlds

Chapter 241 Me (Part [-])
(I deleted the previous sentence, [I used to do chores in a circus for a few days] This sentence, although it is a small problem, will not match the self-report of Chapter 1, tsk tsk, I am really a rigorous person. )
Just like I thought.

Guns, money, night, and fireworks, these things can blind people's eyes, but when the sun rises again, people will be blinded by another thing.

And this city, like a bad-hearted painter, covers people's hearts with repeated colors layer by layer, but its true appearance has long been forgotten.

Anyway, the madness passed, the police evacuated the crowd, many people involved in the shooting and bank robbery were arrested, the chaotic streets were cleaned up, the avenues were fenced off, the police station, and Redevelopment of the Wayne Building begins.

All this happened within a few days.The whole city was restored to its original appearance, and no one really fell into madness because of the carnival that night. In fact, it was as if that night never happened.

Oh, no, it seems that a person has gone crazy. It is said that he is a lunatic who likes to enforce the law violently at night. He wears a black cloak and flies around the roof.

But I'm not in the mood to pay attention to the madman. What I want to pay attention to is my new job.

A circus handyman.

In fact, I originally wanted to find a more suitable job, such as a salesperson, or a position in the parking lot, but there was no way, because the rent was paid in advance, and the family had no money at all, so I could only use this A daily settlement job to maintain the supply of food. At this time, I can't let Jie Ni go hungry.

And working in a circus, honestly... sucks.

First of all, there are real horses there, and horses also shit. As you can imagine, the circus people will definitely not let those dung eggs wrapped in grass leaves piled on the ground, well, then it is my job , I have to shovel those smelly grass balls into a sack, and then throw them far, far away. On the way, I can only carry them with both hands, trying not to let the things dripping from them rub against on me
So, am I trading something pulled out of a horse's ass for my bread? Ridiculous.

"It's ridiculous."

This is a sentence I say most often recently, because, in addition to shoveling horse manure, I have to tell jokes to those who watch the circus, so that the performance will not be so cold, and at the end of every joke I am not funny at all, I always add that word to prove that what I just said was a joke and not my own gibberish.

I don't understand why those people are still in the mood to come to the circus. Just a few days ago, this city just experienced a riot. Have they all forgotten?
It's crazy.

But anyway, besides dealing with horse manure every day, I finally have a source of income, which makes my life barely back on track.

And all of this was the day before Jenny's birthday.
it's over!
"You can't do this!" I said to the skinny jerk in front of me, who was the ringleader of the circus and the guy who paid me every day.

"Sorry, but we can no longer hire you."

"Why?" I asked, trying not to panic: "I obviously cleaned the horse manure very well, but was it because the floor was too slippery that the unicycle rider fell? Oh, it was because of mine. Jokes aren’t funny right! Well, I can learn a few more, I can buy a copy of The Complete Book of Jokes, or I can paint my lips red to make me more of a clown .Everyone loves clowns, you know."

"No, it's not because of these." The team leader interrupted me: "Our circus has no money to hire you anymore. In fact, we are almost out of business."

"Impossible, there are still customers. Well, we don't have many customers, but I only need 40 cents a day"

"sorry."

These were the last words he said to me.Then, he completely ignored me, no matter how much I appealed, he didn't talk to me again.

At that time, I saw an expression similar to that of Mrs. Feili in his eyes.

Finally, I left. When I walked out of the office, I saw our horse trainer outside the door. Presumably, he will leave soon like me.

Well, fate played a joke on me again, it made fun of me every now and then, and the difference from the last joke is that this time I finally became a penniless pauper, and tomorrow is Jenny's birthday.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and I was wandering on the street, and I didn't dare to go home, because I didn't dare to tell Jie Ni that we no longer had any income, and this matter had to be postponed at least until after her birthday.

Unconsciously, I walked to the door of a bar.

I smelled the smell of alcohol and vomit all over the floor, and I just stood there blankly like a homeless child.

To be honest, the wine is not good, I never liked to drink since I was a child, but I really want to have a drink now.

Of course, I don't have any money but I don't know what's wrong with my head.Probably a few days ago, that crazy farce took root in my head, so I have a ghostly feeling that even if I go in and drink some drinks and then don't pay... It doesn't seem to be a big deal.After all, I didn't participate in the madness that day. So, the city seems to owe me a madness. It's just a few drinks.

In this way, I walked into the bar in a mess of thoughts.

then
Just drunk like mud!
I do not know how long it has been.

"Hahaha--"

I smiled and the people next to me laughed too.

Because I told a joke, this joke did not amuse anyone in the circus, but it had its due effect here. Sure enough, wine is a good thing, at least it can make me laugh at this moment.

So I asked for another glass.

On the old TV in the corner, there was still an arrest warrant for the girl who called herself Quinn, I still smiled inexplicably, looking at the photos on the screen
In a trance, I seemed to hear a voice calling me, I turned around
It's the girl from the TV.!

Oh, no, I drank a little too much, and the person who patted my shoulder was not the girl at all, but a person in a black trench coat.

"Hey man, you had a lot to drink today," said the man.

"Haha——yes, to tell you the truth, I want to drink myself too much, so that when I get beaten for not paying money later, I won't feel so painful."

"Hahaha—that's a good joke!"

"Of course." I agreed.

Suddenly, the laughter of the person opposite stopped abruptly.
"So... if you've had enough laughs, how about we talk about business? We know that we worked in a chemical factory some time ago, and you can make a lot of money by doing us a little favor, how about it? "

The man smiled and said to me.

All I could see was the corners of his mouth that curved upwards, but his eyes were hidden in the shadow of the brim of his hat and couldn't be seen clearly.
