Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

And he has to make the audience laugh at himself every night in the show...

No relatives came to see him off, but fortunately, all the colleagues from the circus came and witnessed with their own eyes the appearance of the 'undertaker' Rorschach, who was always mentioned by the manager, when he performed divine magic.

A burst of white light fell, and a funny figure of a clown emerged from the light, taking a curtain call to the audience with that absurd and exaggerated movement.

=======

First update two chapters.

Maybe at night?

I received a long comment and a label again today, thank you~

The Undertaker: Chapter 76 75. The Note with the Lock

Mr. Clown's "final curtain call" successfully moved the colleagues in the circus so much that they burst into tears immediately.

Only Luo Xia still had a serious and dignified face, showing a very high professionalism.

But he was still beating a drum in his heart.

【Comfort the Undead】Why did something go wrong again?Wasn't everything fine yesterday?Always have an accident out of nowhere?

There is nothing fancy about this magical technique itself. Normally, there will only be two scenes of [salvation] and [confession]. As a result, the dead soul of Mr. Clown, like the nephew of the jazz last time, appeared again. Unusual responses other than those scheduled.

But the difference is that his dead soul did not get [redemption] in advance, so it just simply showed a vision.

Naturally, there can be no problem with my divine arts, maybe it was because his desire to perform was too strong during his lifetime?So it's going to be different in the end?

Rorschach was thinking about it, and the people in the circus next to him were almost crying, so they came up to the corpse one by one to say goodbye, and chatted with Rorschach by the way.

"As expected of 'Rorschach the Undertaker', the 'curtain call' you weaved is so touching! Your Excellency Pagliacci is indeed such a person, he would rather endure the pain by himself, and bring the laughter with him." To others, even at funerals, he's living up to that creed."

"Pastor Rorschach, I heard that you came to our performance last night? I didn't expect it to be our turn to watch your performance today. I have to admit that your skills are really superb. I believe Pagliacci will do the same. Pleased."

"Pastor Rorschach, I heard from Manager Will that he seems to be trying to recruit you? Then please promise, our troupe needs a special effects master like you!"

Luo Xia dealt with them one by one, and declined the invitation to join the gang one by one.

He really doesn't have time...

When the ceremony was complete and it was time to seal the coffin and cover it with soil, the circus people left one after another. Only Rorschach remained by the tomb and would not leave until the workers filled the soil.

This is the professional ethics of a qualified pastor, the main thing is to beware of the sudden revelation of the client inside...

And when the workers had already started filling the soil, Luo Xia suddenly found a locked notebook among the funeral objects next to the coffin, so he said to the workers:

"Eh? There seems to be a knock on the door in the coffin, did you hear it?"

The two workers looked at each other for a while, then dropped their shovels and ran away.

After they had all run away, Rorschach reached out to pick up the notebook, then brushed the cover with his hand, and secretly 'sighted' the contents inside with his spiritual vision.

This is not a diary, Mr. Clown is considered a decent and serious person, but a miscellaneous diary that writes everything in it.

In the previous part, I wrote about Mr. Clown’s thoughts and feelings about the performance, some personal experiences, and some scripts he wrote.

There are also a few emotional essays mixed in, probably because my performance is not popular, I have been working hard but have not been recognized by others, my income is getting lower and lower, and my psychological pressure has always been great.

But fortunately, the family is happy and happy, and the family has always understood and supported me. Every performance, parents, brothers, wives and children will come to watch on time, and often they will be the only laughter and applause in the audience.

Rorschach was a little puzzled by this, isn't it the same as what Manager Will said?

Judging from some conversations with other people in the circus, Manager Will did not lie. The personal life of this Mr. Clown is really miserable. On the contrary, he is quite successful in his career and is very popular.

This is exactly the opposite of what the notes say.

It seems that Mr. Clown may have suffered from hypochondria, schizophrenia or something very early on?Have you imagined yourself with a happy family but a troubled career?He seems to be a regular visitor to the San Gallo mental hospital...

Rorschach made a rough guess, then continued to use his spirit vision, and looked back twice.

Huh?It turns out that Mr. Clown was not in this 'absurd horror' circus at the beginning, but was poached by Manager Will from a country theater troupe in the outer city?

Although Manager Will didn't like his performance, he admired his professional attitude, so he gave him a good salary and helped him arrange a residence in the city so that he could bring his wife and son with him.

So Mr. Clown is very grateful to Manager Will, and has been working hard to hone his acting skills, wanting to repay his kindness, but unfortunately the results are not great...

His performance was still unpopular, and he also began to be ignored and excluded by other members of the troupe, which made him very uncomfortable. If it wasn't for Manager Will's insistence, he would have been squeezed out long ago.

This is probably the content of the notes that can be read and understood.

Although there was a lot of writing later, the handwriting suddenly became scribbled and confused, almost unreadable. Those who didn't know thought he had suddenly changed careers to become a doctor.

Even with spiritual vision, I can barely make out a few words with the highest repetition rate:

【False】, 【Performance】, 【Miracle】

It is completely illogical and irrelevant words, which basically belong to the ravings of mental patients.

"It seems that my previous speculation was correct. There is another completely opposite self living in Mr. Clown's mind."

"However, will severe mental illness affect [comfort the dead]? It is theoretically impossible, but everything has accidents..."

Rorschach muttered to himself, put the notes back beside Mr. Clown, and ran to the cemetery management office to find two workers to fill in the soil again.

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

After completing the order of Mr. Clown, Luo Xia still has one order for business at dusk today. There is nothing to do in the middle, so he can go back to church for a little rest.

Speaking of which, people in the City of Oracles generally view funerals as casual and optimistic. There is no so-called fixed time period and auspicious days, and they don’t pay attention to standard procedures. People come to sing and dance, and grave carnivals are also very common.

This is also the impact of too many sects, right?

After Luo Xia returned to the church, he leaned back on the reclining chair in the garden, hugged the little milk cat he had brought to the door, then puffed up his fur, and listened to the radio program.

It just so happens that today's issue of "Exquisite Afternoon Tea Time" is about Mr. Clown, a comedian who suffers from severe mental illness, and it is indeed very topical.

"The core of comedy is often tragedy, and the master Pagliacci interprets this by himself."

"This is really terrible. I actually only booked tickets for his circus yesterday. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to appreciate the demeanor of this comedy master... But I heard that this master only became famous in the past two or three years. I want to know who he is. What kind of experience did you have when you were young?"

This update, emmmmm, is it number 10? The update on the 11th will wait until the daytime...

Thanks Elmer Da!Another salted fish spike from the boss

Thank you for the five spicy sticks sent by Xianyu

thank you very much!

The Undertaker: Chapter 77 76. The Pink Invitation

Luo Xia was very dissatisfied with today's program and didn't listen very carefully.

As a pastor, he resented this kind of behavior of consuming the dead, let alone such a person who had a tragic experience.

Even the "Unbelievable" segment that follows is pretty boring, about something called a 'secret society'.

Probably that kind of underground illegal organization has been lurking in the city, the number is unknown, maybe a few, maybe hundreds.

They are not sects, nor do they believe in righteous gods or evil gods. They mainly work in the field of mysticism. They have their own set of ideas and codes of conduct. They don't abide by laws and regulations, public order and good customs, and they don't have so-called justice, evil, lawful chaos, etc. position tendencies.

They hold some illegal and dangerous knowledge, and possess that kind of mysterious ability, which is the source and reason of many incredible events.

Although they are extremely low-key and secretive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with them, they are illegal organizations with unknown forces and are very dangerous. If anyone comes into contact with members who claim to be members of such organizations, please call the police immediately and don't believe any of them. rhetoric.

Rorschach sneered at this story, isn't he just another kind of cultist?This also deserves to be called incredible?

"If this continues, you will lose me!"

He complained in a low voice, stretched out his hand to fiddle with Dai Mao, and switched to another listening book channel that he discovered recently, the kind that reads novels on the radio.

The book that his family read recently in the afternoon is quite good. It is a serious work with realistic irony and social criticism spirit, and is dedicated to exploring sensitive topics such as the emotions of men and women, social contradictions, and class differences.

Luo Xia listens on time every day with Dumao, and has been chasing him for five days.

The title of the book is "I am the king of the sea in the city of oracle"

The protagonist is a male high school student with little ability, neither handsome nor self-motivated, who is sitting in the second-to-last row by the window, and one day he suddenly awakens to the idea that "you can win the favor of a beautiful girl if you are gentle" The ability to unfold a series of stories.

While listening, Rorschach couldn't help thinking a lot, such as:

The male protagonist is useless, but so many girls like it, I work so hard, but only the little milk cat likes me, it's ironic...

If only I could be so popular with beautiful girls, the cathedral is just around the corner...

The president of the student council with a wealthy family always gets more attention and resources than the girl next door, and has an advantage in various competitions. This is inherently unfair...

It's just being gentle but it can't do anything, so what can be protected by being gentle?Let me see, what are you going to do when you meet cultists and those messy valuables later?

Luo Xia was listening to today's chapter, and saw Nota running over bouncing around, seeing the little milk cat in his arms, with an envious look on his face, and a feeling of wanting to replace it.

I just don't know who to replace?

"Senior, after you went out this morning, the postman sent a special letter, saying that it is very important and must be delivered to you."

Nota said, and handed a pink envelope to Rorschach, on the surface some patterns of peach hearts and roses could be seen, and a faint floral fragrance could be smelled.

"Is this a love letter from a girl?"

Nota asked with some concern.

Rorschach smiled, pointed at the sealant and said:

"This is the wax used only for confidential letters, and it's from the Extraordinary Affairs Administration. Have you ever seen someone send a love letter like this?"

Nota scratched his head, as if it made sense?

Rorschach opened the letter, and sure enough, it was from Deltina.

"Dear Rorschach:

It's a pity that the last appointment was interrupted. I have been trying to find time to make up for the regret of the last time. So, I wonder if you are free the morning after tomorrow?I'll wait for you in that park on Little Squirrel Street...

I also know that such an abrupt invitation is really rude, so I made a reservation in advance at the restaurant next door, and prepared two tickets for the 'Fantasy and Thriller' Circus, they are the most popular in town. The most popular circus, the show is very exciting...

I believe you will come, Rorschach, right?

Your Deltina. "

emmmmm, this is indeed not a love letter, but an invitation.

Luo Xia calculated the time again, the day after tomorrow happened to be his order receiving day, so there must be time, but he still needs to watch another circus?

Without that Mr. Clown, the show would lose a lot, right?

Rorschach was a little hesitant at first, but then the image of Deltina stuffing gold coins into the offering box appeared in his mind...

She is really pious, so as a qualified pastor, she should not disappoint the expectations of a pious believer.

And so, the time soon came to the day agreed upon the day after tomorrow, and Rorschach set off on the road in his cleanly washed teaching gown.

The agreed Little Squirrel Street was not far from his church, so he deliberately arrived half an hour earlier.

Unexpectedly, Deltina was already waiting there.

She dressed up carefully today, wearing a dignified and gorgeous lavender dress with a low chest and a high slit at the hem, revealing her round legs in black stockings, which was particularly eye-catching.

She also put on just the right light makeup on her face, some rose-colored eye shadow, and a few delicate floral headdresses on her head. The whole person looked like a delicate and beautiful flower, waiting for someone to come and pick it.

Seeing that Rorschach had also arrived earlier, Deltina immediately showed a gratified and satisfied smile, and hurriedly greeted her.

"Rorschach!"

Her delicate body leaned forward slightly, revealing a fair complexion.

Luo Xia didn't squint, and said very politely:

"Good morning, devout Deltina."

This address made Deltina a little unhappy, puffed up her cheeks slightly, and said dissatisfiedly:

"Why do you still call me that?"

Luo Xia instantly realized that his wording was inappropriate, and quickly changed his words:

"Oh...it's my fault, investigator Deltina."

Deltina couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and said helplessly:

"It's not an informal occasion today, so why don't you just call me by my first name? Or you can call me Tina, that's what people close to me call me..."

She was trying hard to get Rorschach to change her words, but before she could answer, she heard a beeping sound from the satchel on her body.
