But... what should I do?I don't have experience in this area either... By the way, isn't there a big bed over there?

When Deltina was still at a loss and hesitated, she found that Rorschach had fallen asleep...

Next, I need to stay up late, so I have to go to bed in advance to avoid affecting my health.

After all, the goddess has left a teaching to go to bed early and get up early to stay healthy.

So it was like this, lonely men and widows, in a love hotel, sharing a room, with all the props, fire and sticks, sleeping separately.

It wasn't until after midnight that Rorschach sat up from the sofa full of energy.

Deltina was sitting on the big heart-shaped bed not far away, neatly dressed, with a sullen face.

"Huh? Didn't sleep well?"

Rorschach asked with concern.

"Can't sleep..."

Deltina said dumbfoundedly.

"Then hurry up and get over it and go back to sleep."

Rorschach said again very understandingly.

Deltina patted herself on the cheek vigorously, throwing away all the dissatisfaction and wild thoughts in her heart.

She actually knew that Rorschach was right. How could she do such a thing during the investigation?

It's just in my heart, and it's inevitable that I have daydreams and expectations...

What a bad woman I am!

She secretly scolded herself in her heart.

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

Soon, the two came to a deserted alley near the big circus tent.

Rorschach was holding the wall with both hands, poking out half of his head sideways, with only a pair of eyes exposed; Deltina was next to him, doing the same thing, both of them looked furtive.

They just saw the people from the troupe come out.

The actors all took off their makeup and changed back to their daily clothes. After saying goodbye to each other, they took their own means of transportation and returned to their respective residences.

A few more actors crowded into Manager Will's steam car and left, and a few more walked together. Only the thin apprentice clown rode a bicycle alone, and went in the opposite direction from the others.

"Walk, walk, follow him."

Rorschach quickly whispered.

Then subconsciously, he wanted to climb the wall and roof to take a shortcut, but thinking that there was Deltina beside him, he had to give up the shortcut he was used to.

She is wearing a pair of blue-soled high-heeled shoes today, I am afraid it is not very good for climbing walls...

So the two trotted all the way, following the apprentice clown from afar.

About a few minutes later, the apprentice came to a two-story building on his bicycle, threw the bicycle casually in front of the door, and went in, not caring whether the bicycle would be stolen .

"Hoo~ shall we go in too?"

Deltina asked while panting.

"Don't worry, don't be so reckless."

As Rorschach spoke, he took out the scripture and tapped on Deltina's forehead, while the other free hand followed the rhythm of the tapping and snapped its fingers.

Deltina was stunned by the knock, thinking that Rorschach was playing some kind of music.

She was hit dozens of times in a row, her forehead was red, and she looked like she was about to cry but had no tears.

But Luo Xia looked at the window on the second floor of the small building across the street as if nothing had happened.

A dim yellow light was on there, and the curtains were drawn, revealing a blurry figure, who seemed to be reading a book at the desk.

"It's so late, what are you still looking at? Write some notes like his teacher?"

Luo Xia was a little puzzled, so he didn't rush to act, and waited patiently for more than ten minutes.

But the figure on the curtain still looked like he was studying hard.

Rorschach thought about it again, and first made a scissors hand in front of his eyes, making his eyes light up, and then released his inspiration.

But what he saw was that the apprentice was still reading seriously.

Luo Xia instantly realized something, and hurriedly ran towards the small building.

Deltina was taken aback for a moment, and quickly followed.

The outer door was not locked at all, and with a light push, the living room inside was revealed.

The inside was so empty that there were only a few simple pieces of furniture without any decorations. It was so shabby that it didn't look like a place to live.

And when the two of them just entered the living room, their vision blurred for a while, and the door behind them closed automatically.

Then a dim light lit up in the living room, like the dim moonlight after being covered by dark clouds.

In this bleakness, like the magic of a circus turning people into living beings, more than a dozen figures appeared.

They wore uniform black robes that covered their whole bodies, and they also wore hoods on their heads, only revealing various styles of clown masks on their faces.

"Are you here to find him?"

One of them whispered and threw a ball of something in front of Rorschach.

It's the apprentice clown.

He was staring wide-eyed, his eyeballs were about to pop out, and he was pinching his neck with both hands, as if he was going to commit suicide in this way.

Undertaker: Chapter 84 83. That's it?

Luo Xia looked down at this miserable apprentice, and was a little surprised to find that he was not dead?

Although he looked so painful that he wanted to strangle himself to death, his breathing and heartbeat were very rapid, and it might be difficult to end his pain for a while.

Sure enough, no matter how hard humans try, they can't strangle themselves...

Luo Xia raised his head again, looked at the man in black robe opposite him, and said in a low voice:

"Manager Will..."

The other party was not surprised, nodded and said in a low voice:

"It's a pity to meet you in this situation, Reverend Rorschach."

As he spoke, he took off the clown mask on his face, and the other dozen or so people around him did the same, revealing a face that Rorschach had only seen today.

The previous smiles and enthusiasm were no longer on their faces, their expressions were extremely serious and cold, and they were completely different from before.

Perhaps they in the circus also wear a mask called 'kindness and enthusiasm'.

And at this moment, since they have chosen to reveal their true faces under the two masks, they will definitely not give up easily tonight.

"Pastor Rorschach, now, I extend my last invitation to you, join us, you will share all our wealth and precious knowledge, you will be our light, our beacon, and our guide."

Manager Will said very seriously.

However, Rorschach glanced at the clown apprentice who was still trying to commit suicide underground, and asked with a half-smile:

"What about him? Is he also your light? Your lighthouse?"

Manager Will showed a slightly apologetic look on his face, and patiently explained:

"I lied earlier, and I hope you don't mind. In fact, he failed to fully inherit the mantle and will of Pagliacci's mentor. His spirit and heart are too fragile to take on the heavy responsibility of the 'Lighthouse'."

"The lighthouse is destined to be lonely, and loneliness will bring madness..."

"But Priest Rorschach, you are different. When I first saw you cast a divine spell, I realized that you must be more tenacious than Pagliacci. A true lighthouse to guide us in the dark."

After finishing speaking, he touched his chest with one hand, and handed it out with the other, posing that kind of sincere invitation gesture, and continued:

"Join us! Mentor Rorschach!"

The rest of the circus performers did the same, and followed him and said:

"Join us! Mentor Rorschach!"

Deltina stood behind Rorschach, staring blankly at this scene, feeling nausea and creeps.

They speak respectful words, pose humbly and sincerely, but what they do is to drive others into the abyss of madness.

And if Rorschach agrees, what awaits him will be a miserable ending like that of Mr. Clown.

This kind of behavior is more vicious and hateful than those cult members.

Luo Xia obviously knew this too, with that disdainful smile on his face, he said calmly:

"But I refuse, my Rorschach's favorite thing is to say 'no' to self-righteous guys!"

Manager Will replied coldly:

"That's a pity, but I still believe that you will change your mind. Until you accept, you and this Miss Inquisitor will not be able to leave here."

"Heh~ The only difference between you and the cultists is that I have to talk a little more nonsense to you."

As Rorschach said, he took out the scriptures, and with a snap of his fingers, he summoned the crystal chains, which wound around the actors in front of him.

But on the other side, he was still calm and confident, allowing the chains to hit him, but he still remained awe-inspiring, and even exclaimed:

"You are indeed not the kind of priest who only comforts the dead. You are more powerful than I expected."

The chains passed through them unimpeded. These people seemed to be just phantoms?

And they also launched a counterattack at the same time, and began to chant something in unison, using a language that normal people could not understand at all.

Deltina suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of her head, her eyes went dark, and she almost fainted.

Looking back quickly, Rorschach had just retracted the scripture from the back of his head, then raised the scripture again with an apologetic face, and whispered:

"Sorry, I didn't control my strength just now, let's do it again."

bang~

After a muffled sound, Deltina fell to the ground in response.

There is no way, the effect he wants is [coma] rather than [sleep], so a more direct method must be used.

The actors in the circus next to us were a little dazed. We were still planning and hadn't exerted our strength yet. Why did you take the lead?

Only Manager Will's heart sank slightly, feeling a little bad.

A coma is indeed the simplest and most effective method, which is better than those fancy methods, so it will be difficult to use investigators to threaten him.

It seems that Pastor Rorschach is better than I expected, has a wealth of experience in dealing with it, and is likely to have made friends with other secrets.

But it doesn't matter, he protected the investigator, how can he protect himself?

Manager Will then sped up his speech, leading the other actors to recite languages ​​that did not belong to the living at a faster speed.

Their chanting gradually merged, vaguely forming a clear word:

【pain】

Generally speaking, the moment a normal person hears this word, they should feel a tearing pain pouring out of their bodies, and their brains will be thrown into a frying pan. If the will is a little weaker, I am afraid that it will instantly brain death.

But Luo Xia just scratched his ear and smiled disdainfully.

"Are you a circus or a choir?"

invalid?How is this possible?

Manager Will couldn't understand.

The words of the dead chanted by everyone in unison contain powers that ordinary people cannot comprehend. When gathered together, they form a [word spirit] that cannot be violated.

This is a true mighty power that even the gods cannot resist. It comes from the essence and truth of the world, and it is definitely not something humans can resist.

But why is it invalid?

Manager Will suddenly became anxious, paused for a while, and bit the tip of his tongue hard, creating a strong pain, then took out a ritual dagger, and slashed hard on the back of his hand, creating more pain. Pain.

Then, he changed the tone and rhythm of the chanting, preparing to utter a more powerful and aggressive [Word Spirit].

Other actors followed his movements, hurt themselves in various ways, created pain, and then chanted along with him.

The more powerful the [speech], the more dangerous it is, and this is the same for themselves, so they must chant in unison and use pain to stay awake.
