Chapter 21 Hypnotist (Revised)
Three nights later.
The Harvest Festival is drawing to a close.
The circus performance has ended.
In the past few days, Ethan has gained a lot of new insights into hip-hop fighting.
Every move has become more skillful.
The night performance is coming to an end, and people seem to be reluctant to leave.
"Chi chi na Chi chi na Chi chi na Chi chi na."
As the bonfire dances, the crowd gathers together to hum ancient ballads.
Empty rum bottles are everywhere, and people clink glasses in the rich aroma of wine. If people outside see this scene, they will be heartbroken.
Those orange-yellow wine soups are squandered recklessly, in exchange for laughter, which is probably the best place for these country bumpkins to use their skills.
"Pop~"
Suddenly, in a dark corner where the bonfire cannot shine, a pocket watch engraved with mysterious patterns opens.
The hour and minute hands point to the top of the dial at the same time, without any error.
The owner of the pocket watch closed the clasp and stepped into the light.
Marshall seemed to be aware of something, and his head turned slightly in that direction, and a hint of desolation suddenly rose in his eyes.
The man was tall and slender, well-dressed, and his innate aristocratic temperament was incompatible with the cheerful atmosphere.
The pocket watch swung slightly in his hand like a pendulum, and the sound of "tick-tick" suddenly rang out.
"Plop."
"Plop~"
He walked straight through the crowd, and the people beside him lost consciousness and fell to the ground one after another.
Soon there were only a few people standing in the entire Rum Town.
Ethan in the crowd suddenly heard the ticking of the clock.
Every time the sound rang, his eyelids became heavier.
When the sound rang to the fifth time, fatigue surged into his heart, and he finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and couldn't escape the fate of falling to the street.
But at the moment when he fell into a coma and fell to the ground, the strange sound that had been entangled with him suddenly appeared.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong."
The rhythm of the pocket watch was directly disrupted.
Ethan, who was originally confused, suddenly had an idea and opened his closed eyes instantly.
However, he thought of the recent changes in the circus, and after thinking about it, he did not get up rashly, but continued to lie on the ground, waiting for things to ferment.
Old Bill, who was drunk, said: "Haha, when did our Rum Town Harvest Festival become so popular that even the famous hypnotist is interested in it."
The man's footsteps paused slightly, turned to the direction of Old Bill, took off his hat with his right hand and put it on his chest and bowed slightly.
"Mr. Bill is joking. I have always admired the rum in Rum Town and have been fascinated by it for a long time."
But Old Bill ignored his actions and smiled drunkenly: "Hehehe, it's really our honor."
The other party seemed to be unconcerned, with a smile on his lips, and a pair of eyes as sharp as arrows, along the gap of the hat brim, over Old Bill, and directly inserted into the circus people.
It's self-evident.
It seems that the next step is the 'fierce battle' that Connie mentioned.
The hypnotist took off the glove on his right hand and snapped his fingers in front of Old Bill.
Old Bill was already drunk enough, and now he seemed to be under a spell and could no longer bear it.
'Plop~'
Fell to the ground.
"Well, in addition to admiration, there are also some unexpected surprises."
The pocket watch man leaned forward slightly, as if he was chatting with the unconscious old Bill.
Marshall smiled: "Are you sure it's a surprise and not a shock?"
The pocket watch man put on his hat again and glanced at Marshall's golden crown: "Marshall? Or should I call you Weird Arthur... If I'm not mistaken, the one on your head is the 'Crown of Silence'."
Weird Arthur? Silence Crown?
Ethan on the ground heard it clearly, and was slightly startled, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.
Looking at Marshall, who was only as tall as his chest, the pocket watch man shook his head slightly, with a look of regret on his face: "I didn't expect that the suave and charming son of heaven would show himself in this image."
"I wonder what expression those noble ladies in Zion City would have if they saw you now."
"Hahaha, there is no way a man as outstanding as me can be as obvious as a firefly in the dark night no matter where I am..."
Marshall didn't care about the mockery of the pocket watch man. After his eyes stayed on the pocket watch man for a while, they swept through the darkness behind him.
The hypnotist shook his head: "You guy... you really don't know how to love yourself."
At this time, Bass suddenly took off the huge red nose from his nose. This was the first time Ethan saw him take it off.
"Hypnotist Yuri~"
As he said, he threw away the red nose, but his eyes swept over the fortune teller's body.
At this time, the old fortune teller's mother-in-law actually chuckled.
The voice was clear and pleasant, without a trace of old age.
With a wave of her right hand, the disguise on her face was gone, revealing a stunning beauty that could overwhelm a city and a country.
On her crystal clear oval face, her straight nose was full of temperament, and her rare crimson hair quietly covered her left eye, which added a bit of mysterious surprise.
A true mysterious queen.
This, this, this is actually the old fortune teller who has been shaky in the circus? ? ?
Ethan couldn't help but wonder if he had just come to the circus yesterday.
"Brother, long time no see~"
The fortune teller smiled sweetly on her face, and nodded slightly in the direction of hypnotist Yuri.
The watch in the pocket watch man's hand stopped in vain, and his eyes were full of pity when he looked at the fortune teller.
"Little Yuna..."
Suddenly, the sound of joints biting each other was heard.
The figure of 'Marshall' continued to rise and grow.
It lasted for about a few minutes, and a tall and handsome man appeared in front of everyone, with a wicked smile on his face, and his clothes turned into strips of cloth as he grew bigger.
"Huh~"
"It's so comfortable!"
This scene shocked Ethan behind the carriage.
I saw 'Marshall' stretching his limbs, getting familiar with his current body, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, he hugged the queen Yuna into his arms, and a cunning flashed in his eyes.
Looking at the slight blush on Yuna's face, the pocket watch man's body stiffened slightly, and his breathing was a little rapid.
The pocket watch in his hand suddenly opened with a 'click' sound, and the atmosphere instantly dropped to the freezing point.
Ethan, who was hiding behind the carriage, suddenly felt murderous and couldn't move.
A cool breeze blew by, and you could hear a pin drop.
Just as the pocket watch man was about to make a move.
"Woo~"
A whistle sounded.
The sound came from far away and approached. A sharp arrow flashed in front of everyone with the whistle, and was caught by a big hand behind the pocket watch man.
It turned out that a stranger appeared beside the pocket watch man at some point.
