Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

But embarrassingly, Luo Xia couldn't remember who he was...

Fortunately, this person is also quite good at business, keenly aware of Rorschach's embarrassment, and added some self-introduction:

"My name is Wilcox, and my friends usually call me Will. We met at a funeral once, and I tried to invite you to be a special effects artist for our troupe."

Hearing what he said, Rorschach was somewhat impressed. There were many people who praised and flattered him at the funeral, but this was the only one who wanted to hire him.

It's just that he didn't expect the troupe he was talking about to be a circus?

"I didn't expect to meet you here. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Will. May the glory and grace of the goddess always be with you."

Rorschach also greeted very politely.

"It's a great honor to have you here, please enjoy our performance first, believe me, it will definitely impress you, and maybe sway you to reconsider my previous proposal. "

While Manager Will was talking, he suddenly noticed that there was still an empty seat next to Rorschach. He was about to say something, but he was slightly taken aback, exchanged casual greetings with Rorschach, and then went to receive guests in other VIP seats.

He originally wanted to ask where the female companion brought by Luo Xia went, but suddenly felt inexplicably that someone had already taken that seat.

Even if it still looks empty.

The Undertaker: Chapter 74 73. Wonderful Show

The girl in red seemed to be understanding suddenly, she floated to the seat and sat down without any further persuasion from Rorschach.

Then he grabbed Luo Xia's right hand and pinched it again and again, with quite gentle force, like some kind of intimacy between lovers.

But Rorschach always felt that she seemed to be using her hands as plasticine?

Before he had time to think about it, he heard a series of rapid drumbeats, and the host began to announce the curtain loudly with a microphone, indicating that the performance had already begun.

Rorschach focused his attention on the field, wanting to see how absurd and terrifying it really was.

As a result, after the first three programs, it turned out to be quite good?

In a normal circus, most of the opening scenes start with some flamenco steps, mice walking in a maze, crows flying in an airplane, etc., so that the audience is sleepy first.

As a result, as soon as the show started today, there was a special tightrope walk first?

A good-looking, slender acrobat, wearing a fluffy, faintly visible costume, with a long hem and gorgeous cloud sleeves, but also has just the right nudity, and deliberately exposed long legs in white stockings , I feel like the kind of fairy who doesn't dress well.

This appearance of hers attracted the attention of the men present, and she was really a tightrope walker.

But just after she took a few steps, a dark shadow appeared behind her, like some kind of monster lurking in the dark, waving ferocious tentacles and sharp claws, approaching the actor step by step, as if to She eats it raw.

And the venue below suddenly turned into that kind of dark, endless abyss, even if you sit in the audience and take a look, you will feel your heartbeat surge.

There is a bottomless abyss under your feet, and there are monsters chasing after you, which instantly aroused the tension of the audience. They couldn't help but sweat for this beautiful actress, as if every step she took stepped on the apex of the audience's heart .

As a result, halfway through with difficulty, a flame ignited on the steel cable behind, as if it would melt and burn the steel cable in the next second.

The monster behind him is even more pressing, its sharp claws and tentacles are almost touching the prey, the actor is also showing that kind of panic and despair, his delicate body is also shaking slightly, it seems that he will lose his balance and fall into the dreadful abyss below.

The audience suddenly let out bursts of screams, and the two were fighting, almost wanting to leave first.

Fortunately, the actor overcame all kinds of difficulties and dangers after all. The moment the steel cable was about to be burnt and the claws of the monster touched his body, he took the last step.

After a crisp click, the steel cable behind him finally broke, and the monster fell into the abyss. The audience also heaved a sigh of relief, and then burst into thunderous applause, and even Rorschach applauded vigorously.

It's just that his right hand was still held in the arms of the girl in red and gently squeezed, so he could only pat his stomach with his left hand to make a sound.

There really is something to this show.

Although everyone knows that monsters and abysses are definitely fake, especially professionals like Rorschach can see traces of visual magic at a glance.

But the success lies in the arrangement of the plot and the reasonable use of visual effects, which successfully mobilized the audience's emotions and achieved excellent program effects.

After all, they are performing a show, not really fighting monsters.

After stimulating the nerves of the audience with the first program, the second program is much gentler.

A group of colorfully dressed acrobats piled up various tricks and patterns, coupled with colorful visual effects, presented the audience with a dreamlike artistic beauty and calmed down the previous tension , and gave applause without hesitation.

In Rorschach's view, the tricks stacked up by the actors, combined with the visual effects, brought some mystic atmosphere, a bit like the symbols and runes in the occult, which will have an impact on the spirit of ordinary people. Some subtle effects.

It's just that the effect is very weak, and it only stops at the level of sensory stimulation. It simply makes ordinary audiences feel good-looking, mysterious, and beautiful, but it won't have any real impact.

It was even less likely to affect Luo Xia. He simply felt that the skills of other actors were quite good, and the tricks they created were very difficult, showing a very high professional standard.

But his personal favorite show is the third one, clown juggling.

This was originally just a sideshow, but the clown's performance was excellent. Without using any visual effects, he made the audience laugh out loud with his absurd and funny performance. ability.

After the audience laughed, the fourth program immediately brought a big change.

I saw a female animal trainer in a sexy dress leading a lion on the stage, then stuck her head into the lion's mouth as usual, and was bitten off by the lion...

Before the audience had time to cry out in surprise, all the lights in the arena were instantly extinguished, and they fell into darkness, but they could hear the low roars of wild animals and the crackling sounds of gnawing something.

At this time, the lights began to flicker again, and with the help of the flickering light, the audience saw the animal trainer who had been eaten to the point of being out of shape, and his mouth was full of blood, and he was still searching with his eyes. A male lion catching its next prey startled the audience.

The lights continued to flicker, and the audience saw the bloodthirsty lion stand up slowly again, the skin on its body twisted and deformed, as if it was about to alienate into some kind of terrifying monster.

And just when the audience started to scream, the lights suddenly came back on, and the person standing in the arena was actually the animal trainer who had been gnawed to pieces?

While waving to the audience, she deliberately exposed the extra lion tail behind her, implying that she might have been transformed into a lion.

But then, she discovered the tail herself, so she invited a 'live audience' to come on stage to interact, and asked him to help pull the tail off.

As a result, he pulled out and pulled out the lion just now?

Only then did the audience come to their senses, and burst into overwhelming applause and cheers.

It's just that Rorschach's reaction was relatively flat. With inspiration, he easily saw through the tricks.

The lion is indeed a real lion, but from the stage to the curtain call, he has been squatting there motionless, more honest than the little milk cat.

The previous bloody and thrilling scenes were all visual magic combined with lighting and special effects, but he saw through them at a glance, without any tension and suspense from others, and the viewing experience was extremely poor.

It's a bit like answering the phone on a roller coaster...

In the final analysis, this kind of program cannot be watched with inspiration...

The Undertaker: Chapter 75 74. The Clown

After the remaining few shows, Rorschach learned a lesson, controlled his inspiration, didn't watch indiscriminately, his experience improved instantly, and he enjoyed the subsequent performances like a normal audience.

To sum it up, let me tell you something, no bragging, the program here is really good, and the promotion on the tickets is by no means bragging.

People are not relying on visual magic to pretend to be ghosts, but to use it reasonably, arrange and integrate it into the performance, presenting the audience with an exciting and wonderful viewing experience. The performance of more than one hour has no urine points, and it can be popular all over the city. It is hard power, and deserves applause and applause.

After the performance, all the crew members went on stage together, including the lion, which was pulled out, indicating that no one was actually killed during the performance.

And Rorschach also found more than a dozen clergymen who possessed the holy power of faith, but they were too weak, probably only able to cast those visual magics, not even clergymen.

This should be the special effects team behind the scenes.

Although the special effects they made together were only of a satisfactory level, almost meaningless in all aspects, but Luo Xia didn't look down on him, and he patted his belly without hesitation and gave him applause.

People use this kind of superficial and low-level visual magic, combined with the performance of actors, to bring real smiles and happiness to everyone, which is countless times better than those charlatans who use to pretend to be gods and tricks to deceive believers.

All in all, Rorschach would have wanted to bring Nota, or Deltina, or Agartis to watch another show if it wasn't for the fact that a ticket for an ordinary seat would cost 5 silver coins.

As for the VIP seat today, um... I can only say that Uncle John from Aunt Mary's family is really amazing...

After the performance, Rorschach originally planned to leave silently, but was found by Manager Will.

"Pastor Rorschach, what do you think? Have you changed your mind?"

He asked very directly, obviously full of confidence in the performance of his troupe.

And Rorschach can also understand his dedication to himself. If he can help him make up for some defects and deficiencies in special effects, his program will rise to a higher level, and perhaps it will become popular all over the world.

"The show is great, but I really don't have that much time."

Rorschach also answered directly.

The reason why these programs are wonderful is that they have been repeatedly polished and rehearsed, which requires a lot of time and energy, and it really can't be achieved by going up and snapping your fingers.

But manager Will still refused to give up, and continued to say:

"I believe I can convince you in the future, but today is obviously not a suitable opportunity."

He is unusually persistent and has the necessary qualities for a successful person.

It's just that Rorschach is also very persistent...

In this way, after Luo Xia left the circus, he first found a remote and uninhabited alley, and then said to the girl in red:

"Okay, let's go home."

Then, under the embrace of the girl in red, he re-entered the pale world, and was carried all the way back to the church by the girl in red.

Although this description sounds a bit wrong, the girl in red really hugged him all the way back...

I just don't know if she likes this kind of performance?Anyway, after the whole scene, she was silently squeezing Rorschach's hand.

........................

The next day was a day when Luo Xia was free to pick up business. He didn't need to go out, so he opened the door early, waiting for believers and customers, and then he bristled and listened to today's news.

"On September 9th, a comedian died in his own home, Pagliacci. His life was a joke..."

This news is about a comedy art performer who committed suicide at home. He once brought joy to countless people, but he himself suffered from severe depression and was a frequent visitor to the San Gallo Mental Hospital...

"This is really ironic..."

Rorschach shook his head, hoping that Mr. Clown who impressed him deeply yesterday would not end up like this.

Although there are magic spells to treat the mental aspect, those are for simple symptoms such as neurasthenia, insomnia and dreaminess. If you really encounter serious illnesses such as depression, mania, schizophrenia, and calling your wife when you see a beautiful girl, there is nothing you can do. .

There are also some sects claiming that they have the ability to treat those serious illnesses, but they are definitely not magical arts, either they are deceiving, or hypnosis is a method that has little effect.

In the final analysis, healing magic is the most useless!

Not long after Rorschach heard the news, he saw the manager of the circus, Will, approaching the door.

I thought he was here to make money for himself, but it turned out he was here to make an appointment?

"It's Pagliacci's mentor from our troupe. You should have some impression of him. He is the third clown who appeared yesterday..."

"He is really a good person with passion, full of passion for his work and caring for his colleagues, he will actively participate in the arrangement and creation of each show, and he will always perform after the show, bringing laughter to the audience, he is the best friends and colleagues."

"But no one thought that he would bear such a heavy pain deep in his heart..."

"He has no relatives anymore, his parents and brothers have passed away one after another, his wife left him a long time ago, and the child is not his own..."

"Pastor Rorschach, I want to hold a proper funeral for him."

"I understand."

Rorschach nodded in agreement.

He also never expected that the news he heard this morning was about the clown last night...

A person who is not happy, but can bring such laughter to others?

Manager Will was also really sad, and didn't mention the matter of earning money to join the group. He made an appointment for the funeral the day after tomorrow, and left in a hurry.

So two days later, Rorschach saw Mr. Clown with no paint on his face in the cemetery.

He lay quietly in the coffin, with a particularly ferocious smile on his face, the corners of his mouth stretched all the way to his ears...

No matter how professional an mortician is, he can't restore his calmness, because that's a 'smile' cut out with a sharp blade...

And he also died of hemorrhage after laughing.

Although he had changed into decent clothes instead of the cystic and funny clown suit, Rorschach could 'see' clearly protruding ribs and various shocking scars on the corpse...

Some are old, some are new, but they are all left by himself.

It's hard to imagine what terrible pain a person has to go through to torture himself like this.
