Invincible priest, out of the courtroom

These words are frank and frank, and the body is not afraid of the feeling that the shadow is slanting.

Then, he started to deal with Deltina, and had some questions and answers about Mr. Clown with her.

Rorschach didn't pay attention to their conversation, but observed the backstage of the circus, wandered around, and found that there was a strong mystical atmosphere here.

All kinds of incense, candles, crystal balls, all kinds of mirrors, knives carved with exquisite patterns, fancy divination cards, various imprinted patterns, and so on.

But they are all very common things, and they are legal and can be easily bought in the market.

There are no contraband or controlled products such as eyeballs with nerve bundles left, mutated frogs, and bones of unknown origin.

In the whole world, occultism is a legal subject. There are special schools of disciplines in universities, which are researching and imparting relevant knowledge, and many occultism products can be seen on the market.

For example, incense that can effectively drive away rats and cockroaches; ointments that can effectively improve sleep; patterns that can help concentrate and improve concentration; etc.; are already part of people's daily life.

But occultism has not been thoroughly studied by human beings so far, and what can be applied in life is only the tip of the iceberg, a drop in the bucket, and there are vast unknowns and mysteries in the depths, which hide unknown dangers and weirdness.

As for places like circuses, it is normal for the atmosphere of mysticism to be stronger. Like love divination and fortune prediction, these are classic reserved items in circuses, and many elements of occultism will be incorporated into official performances, such as the fancy trick before. Stacked arhats.

And those ointments, incense, etc. that can help relieve fatigue and tension, help improve energy and focus, are also very helpful for their performances.

Luo Xia walked around while observing, and happened to pass by an actress's dressing table, and was grabbed by the other party.

"Pastor Rorschach, do you remember me?"

Rorschach froze for a moment, then shook his head.

"It seems that my performance has not touched your heart yet."

The actress immediately showed a grief-stricken expression, and her acting skills were a little exaggerated.

But immediately he showed a charming smile, looked back at a set of costumes on the hanger behind him, and asked:

"Is it because I wear this dress that you will think of me?"

Rorschach looked back, only then did he recall that this was the one performing the special tightrope walk.

After she changed into this ethereal and faintly visible dress, she was indeed very distinctive.

I just changed my clothes and removed my makeup, so I can't recognize her anymore...

=====

I have something to do in the morning, so I will update a chapter first, and there will be more in the evening.

Thanks Elmer Da!The boss sent another salted fish spike

thank you very much!

The Undertaker: Chapter 82 81. A Little Discovery

"If you are willing to join our troupe, I can sneak out the costume and perform an alternative tightrope walk for you."

While talking in a low voice, the actress winked at Rorschach, looked at him secretly, and handed him a small card with lipstick on it.

Hmm...how should I put this...

Anyway, Rorschach felt that the entire circus was very enthusiastic about him.

My limited interaction with them was just a funeral, and I even came to their door with an investigator to find 'trouble', but this enthusiasm remained undiminished, and it even started to develop in a direction other than work?

And just talking about Manager Will's words, let's just say that he is thirsty for talents. It's a bit like that allusion on earth?Wang Situ rode thousands of miles alone and visited the thatched cottage three times to capture Kong Ming?

What about the rest of the circus?Will it be too enthusiastic?

Rorschach was wondering when he heard Manager Will behind him say:

"Then that's probably it. That's all I know. If Miss Investigator wants to know more, why don't we talk after the performance? As long as you're not afraid of delaying your nightlife with Pastor Rorschach..."

Luo Xia turned around again, and saw that Deltina was not very happy, her face was still slightly red, it seemed to be red and warm?It seems that the conversation is not going well?

"Can we talk to the troupe?"

she asked again.

"Of course, but please hurry up, we have to prepare for the show."

Manager Will said calmly.

And Luo Xia thought for a while, and asked from the side:

"Then will there be clown juggling tonight?"

"This is an indispensable item to keep. Although we have lost Mr. Pagliacci, the disciples he taught carefully before have successfully inherited his mantle and legacy, and will continue to bring laughter to everyone."

Manager Will pointed to a dressing table in the corner while talking.

There, a thin young man was looking in the mirror, painting his face with oil paint, and a particularly funny and exaggerated smile was painted on the corners of his mouth.

"Even though he is still a newcomer, he was well received when he made his first appearance on stage. I believe Mr. Pagliacci will feel gratified by this."

As he spoke, Mr. Weir helped an actress remove a flamboyant hat from a coat rack.

Rorschach was inexplicably reminded of Mr. Clown's lineup. He had only seen it once at the funeral, and left a deep impression on him. The corner of his mouth also had the same smile, but it was cut out with a knife...

So he carefully put away his inspiration, and without alarming others, he used his spiritual vision to take an extra 'look' at the successor of Mr. Clown.

But he just took a look and turned around.

Then I saw Manager Will, who had come behind him at some point.

"You seem to be very interested in the role of the clown? Do you want to try it? We often go to orphanages and nursing homes to hold benefit performances. It is a stage suitable for newcomers."

"Thank you, but I really can't spare the time... [Funeral] is a very important ceremony, which must be treated with caution, and the sleep of the deceased should not be disturbed."

Luo Xia still refused in a serious manner.

"That's all right, I'm sure you'll change your mind."

Manager Will smiled generously, and was busy preparing for the performance, and the entire backstage of the circus was also busy, leaving Rorschach and Deltina aside.

"Let's go, there's nothing here."

Rorschach returned to Deltina and suggested in a low voice.

"But I didn't ask for any valuable information, and the clue was cut off again..."

Deltina said in frustration.

"It's okay, isn't there me?"

Rorschach smiled mysteriously at her.

After the two left the cafe, they stopped at a cafe near the amusement park. Rorschach paid for it and ordered two cups of mid-range coffee. Then he looked at the big tent of the circus and said in a low voice:

"This is no ordinary circus."

"Of course not. They are all preparing for a tour. They should leave the City of Oracles next month, right?"

Deltina spoke listlessly, holding a teaspoon in her hand, flicking the cream floating on the surface of the coffee, trying to outline a stick figure smiling face.

But no matter how she dialed it, the exposed stick figure looked more like crying...

The grave-digging case was the second independent case she took over, and seeing that it was about to end in failure again, she was inevitably depressed.

But Rorschach turned around and said:

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that the circus's accomplishments in mysticism are somewhat unexpected... I used my spiritual vision just now and took a look at that apprentice clown who made up..."

"But what I look at is not him, but the mirror in front of him..."

"Then what did you see?"

Deltina hurriedly asked.

"Nothing special, just a normal clown in the mirror."

"Eh?"

"But it's because there's nothing special about it that makes it look weird...Looking in a mirror with spiritual vision is a commonly used observation method in the field of mysticism. Through the mirror, you can see many things that are invisible in reality."

"If you can't see anything, it means there is something wrong with the mirror, or something wrong with the person..."

"But... even if the apprentice clown has a problem, what does that have to do with our case?"

Rorschach patiently explained:

"You see, Mr. Clown once worked hard to hone his acting skills, tried to write scripts by himself, participated in various performances many times, but was forced to almost change careers in the end, which shows that it is very hard and not easy to play a good clown thing."

"And this apprentice has already achieved great success at such a young age. Is it because of his extraordinary talent? Or did Mr. Clown teach him the true essence?"

Deltina froze for a moment, then asked again:

"The real essence you are talking about is... the graffiti on those coffins?"

Rorschach replied very seriously:

"It's possible, but I can't be sure. The 'language of madmen', to be precise, should be called 'knowledge of the dead', which is not what ordinary people should understand and come into contact with..."

"The knowledge of the dead cannot be recognized rationally. Only the madness that is only a thin line away from death can spy a little bit, so normal people probably won't touch these things."

"Then again, Mr. Clown even dared to touch this kind of knowledge. He is obviously very sick. It is very likely that he can't do anything except perform on stage, and he can't remember anything. That's why he Constantly hurting myself, using pain to find a moment of sobriety..."

"Then, he should be locked up in that San Gallo mental hospital instead of coming out to make peace with the rest of the troupe..."

======

Drunk, this chapter has been deleted, deleted, modified, and written after a whole night of tossing...

Let's do this today, there is nothing to do tomorrow, we should be able to do more.

Finally thanks to ElmerDa!The boss sent another salted fish spike

thank you very much!

Undertaker: Chapter 83 82. Are you here to find him?

"It turns out that those graffiti are such dangerous things, no wonder Rorschach told me not to be curious..."

Deltina sighed with emotion in a low voice, then looked at Rorschach seriously, and added:

"Rorschach, you know a lot. It's really reassuring to have you by my side."

You also went to the Tribunal of Divine Grace to study for 50 years, and you know a lot...

Luo Xia secretly slandered, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then gulped down the coffee in front of him, and then stood up.

"time to go."

"Find a place to rest and recharge your batteries. After the circus is over, talk to that clown apprentice."

"Then... should I ask for support?"

As Deltina spoke, she took out the portable telegraph.

"Ask for support for such a small matter? Are you not afraid of being bullied by your colleagues in the future?"

Rorschach said a little funny.

Then, at Rorschach's suggestion, the two went to a nearby hotel with a pink exterior.

Since it is near the amusement park, the hotels are naturally in this style.

Luo Xia asked for a double room again. When he walked in, he saw a double bed in the shape of a peach heart. The overall color was that kind of ambiguous pink, and there were many 'props' in the bedside table and bathroom.

Deltina's pretty face suddenly flushed red, almost steaming.

She never imagined that this is what Luo Xia said about rejuvenating energy...

And it's surprisingly straightforward, skipping all the previous steps, and now it's time to enter the final stage...

Although she didn't hate or resist it in her heart, and was even a little happy, she still felt that there was still a little bit of emotion and foreshadowing, which was not so ideal, and she was a little regretful.

Deltina was thinking wildly, while reaching out to unbutton her coat, her beautiful eyes were still looking at various 'props' curiously

In the end, he saw that Luo Xia didn't take off his clothes, and lay down directly on the sofa next to him, still urging:

"Don't take it off, hurry up."

He...is he in such a hurry?

This shows that he actually likes me very much, that's why he can't wait to get me?

Some...happy?
