Chapter 241 The Circus is Coming

"Sure enough, my decision to spend a lot of [plot value] to evolve Spike was correct."

Through the system panel, you can see Spike's performance in your eyes.

Zhao Yuan nodded, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Amanda's team has Spike participating in the promotion of the plot, which undoubtedly left him with a lot of [plot value] for modifying the script.

Satisfied, he retracted his gaze from the team screen.

Right now, although Amanda and the others were reminded by Spike, they noticed the unusualness of the whole incident.

However, there is still a long time before they actually participate in the main line of the script.

During this period of time, the plot of another part of the script also quietly unfolded.

In front of the system, along with Zhao Yuan's thoughts.

The picture in the broken panel also changed from the investigation of Amanda and others to a scene of a lively town.

……

Bandera town.

It is the first immigrant town founded by Polish immigrants and is also home to one of the oldest churches in Texas, St. Stanislaus Catholic Church.

As an inconspicuous town in Texas, Bandera is famous for its cowboy culture. Residents dressed as cowboys can be seen everywhere in the town. However, the cowboy culture is gradually declining like the history of western towns. Come down, it has been a long time since Bandera town has had any lively events happen.

But today, the arrival of a group of unexpected visitors broke the long-lost peace of Bandera Town.

"Have you heard?"

"A group of traveling circus members came from outside the town. It is said that they will perform a circus in the town!"

"Your news is outdated. I inquired about it. They not only prepared a circus performance, but also a group of freaks. I took a peek through the tent where the circus was resting. I saw a lot of people inside. Weird looking guy..."

"Freak show, in this day and age, does this kind of circus still exist?"

Just like cowboy culture, performances such as circus freak shows have gradually disappeared with the development of history.

The commentator obviously did not expect that there is actually a freak show in the circus, which sounds like a performance form of the last century.

"Speaking of which, have you noticed that the style of the traveling circus in this small town seems to be very similar to that of the last century? I heard from the old people in the town that this kind of circus only existed when they were young. Yes. Can this old-fashioned circus show still make money in this day and age?"

"Since they have been performing on tour, it proves that the circus can make money. Besides, for us, whether the circus makes money or not is not what we care about, as long as they can present wonderful performances, people can watch Just have fun, there hasn't been such a lively event in the town for a long time."

In the town of Bandera, discussions like this are no longer rare.

Especially for the children in the small town, the circus performance, which was only seen on TV, was actually staged in the small town, which naturally attracted their curiosity and attention.

Around the circus, a large number of curious children poked their heads around the tent.

"Sorry, boys, the wonderful circus show is not ready yet..."

Standing in front of the entrance of the circus, keeping these curious children out, the head of the circus pulled the corner of his mouth to show a reluctant smile, trying to make his face look kinder, and said to these children: "If you want to come and see the greatest circus show in the world, tell your parents to take you to the circus tonight, and I guarantee that tonight's circus show will be something they will never forget. "

The words of the head of the circus, as well as its slightly intrusive appearance, made these curious children leave in fear.

Standing in front of the circus tent, looking at the children leaving, the head of the circus grinned to reveal his sharp teeth.

"Keep an eye on the entrance, don't let irrelevant guys run into the circus."

Turning his head to warn [Lobster Man], the head of the circus limped into the circus tent on crutches.

Throughout the circus, a large number of circus members are busy making preparations.

Through the system screen, Zhao Yuan could see many familiar figures, such as [General Thumb] and [Bearded Son] members of the freak show, who were also dressing up as themselves.

And following these circus members, Zhao Yuan's gaze quickly locked on a certain beautiful figure among them.

【Swedish Nightingale】—Jenny Lind.

"Tonight's performance, you are the finale, Nightingale, I need you to attract everyone, the circus needs more performers."

Limping over to Jenny Lind, looking at this beautiful [Swedish Nightingale] as beautiful as moonlight, a greedy look flashed in the ugly eyes of the circus director. He leaned on a cane and treated her as gently as possible. Jenny Lind said, as the signboard of the circus, the director's attitude towards [Swedish Nightingale] is naturally impossible to be as rough as that of other circus members.

After all, part of the world's greatest touring circus that he mentioned came from the contribution of [Swedish Nightingale].

"I know what to do."

Faced with the reminder from the head of the circus, [Swedish Nightingale] did not change her expression. She just stared blankly at herself in the mirror and replied softly.

"You just understand."

Hearing Jenny Lind's answer, the head of the circus nodded in satisfaction, and then left contentedly on crutches.

When passing by several feathered freaks, the head of the circus deliberately stopped, and when he saw their trembling bodies showing fearful expressions, he let out a piercing laugh and headed towards the back of the circus. direction.

"Are you really going to do this for the captain, Jenny?"

Watching the back of the head of the circus leaving, the originally quiet circus became lively.

The burly [bearded girl] came to [Swedish Nightingale], showing a bit of worry under the face covered by the big beard.

"If this is the case, there will be many broken families in this small town."

"I know, but if we don't do what it says, it's all of us who will be punished."

Hearing the words of [Bearded Child], [Swedish Nightingale] showed a sad expression on her delicate face: "In the circus, all of us are subject to the head of the circus, as long as the head exists in the circus for a day, we are all Unable to escape, Mary Shaw was the only one among us who tried to escape, she succeeded, but also failed..."
