Chapter 248 Missing
"thing?!"

[The bearded child] The practice of comparing herself to a circus item, unsurprisingly, attracted Angela's attention.

The BSI agent's frown deepened a bit. Seeing the "bearded girl" who had a natural expression in front of him, and then glanced at the surrounding circus crowd, he couldn't help but whispered: "You mean to say , the circus imprisoned you by illegal means, if this is the case, you can tell us..."

Angela's 'naive' response made the [bearded girl]'s face covered by a thick beard reveal a bit of a bitter smile.

"You don't know the specifics of the circus at all."

As members of the circus, whether they like it or not, they must accept their own rules.

Follow the orders of the head of the circus. In the circus, the words of the head are supreme.

Barnum is not a kind existence, on the contrary it is greedy and distorted, and regards everything in the circus as its own taboo.

In terms of his attitude towards circus members, Barnum is even more harsh. Once any circus performance goes wrong, punishment is indispensable. This punishment is not ordinary cursing or whipping. As the master of the circus, Barnum has powerful and powerful Weird power, those guys with feathers and [Lobster Man] are the best proof.

From the words of [Bearded Child], Amanda noticed something strange.

"So, Ms. [Bearded Lady], can you tell me where the circus came from?"

Stopping Angela, who obviously wanted to say anything more, Amanda looked at the [bearded girl] who had a thick beard in front of her and was somewhat stronger than a man, and asked.

"...The small town, that was a small town before this, we just finished our touring circus performance there, passing through the small town of Bandera on the way, the head of the group decided to take a short break here and hold a circus performance to attract guest."

Hearing the name of the town mentioned by [Bearded Child], Amanda's eyes flickered slightly, and she exchanged a glance with Angela at the side.

The town mentioned by the other party was the town that had been attacked by Siren Head before.

"So, in that small town, did you hear or see any unusual existence?"

"I am not sure."

Shaking his head, [Bearded Child] said honestly: "Under normal circumstances, members of the circus will not leave the circus easily, so even if something special happens in the town, we will not know too clearly .”

The answer from [The Bearded Child] made Amanda frown, but continued with her own question.

"So, do circuses do this kind of traveling all the time?"

[Bearded Child]: "Yes, we have been performing, year after year, day after day."

"Don't you guys feel bored?"

Hearing the words of [Bearded Child], Angela who was on the side couldn't help asking again.

"This is the value of our existence."

Turning to look at the BSI agent, [The Bearded Son] said with a serious expression.

"Can you tell me the destination of your circus tour?"

Glancing at Angela, Amanda brought the topic back.

[Bearded Child]: "Only the head of the circus knows our destination."

Amanda: "In other words, the itinerary of the circus is determined by the head of the circus?"

"you can say it this way."

Nodding, [Bearded Child] did not deny Amanda's words.

From the answer of [Bearded Child], Amanda has clearly noticed that the head of the circus seems to have a great influence on them. Every time [Bearded Child] mentioned the head of the circus, his tone would be Pause involuntarily, which means that the person involved has some hesitation about what he wants to say, and of course it may be uneasy.

"You seem to be afraid of the ringleader?"

Seeing this, Amanda immediately opened her mouth, she wanted to use this method to force the [bearded child] to reveal more information.

"..."

Faced with Amanda's revelation, [The Bearded Child] neither panicked nor denied it.

She proved Amanda's guess with her silent attitude.

"Can you tell me why?"

"Everyone in the circus is afraid of the head."

After being silent for a long while, [Bearded Child] looked at Amanda and Angela in front of her. She turned her head and glanced in the direction of the circus stage. Listening to the sharp voice of the circus director, she persuaded them: " I know the purpose of your coming to the circus, but you don't know what kind of existence you are facing. Before the circus performance is over, leave the circus as soon as possible. have a chance of surviving."

Under Amanda's pressing, [The Bearded Child] finally revealed some information she wanted.

The traveling circus that appeared in the small town in front of him was indeed related to the missing BSIs.

However, the content of [Bearded Girl]'s words contained a strong sense of warning. It seemed that after the circus performance ended, there would be great danger waiting for them.

……

"I remember, Spike came in with us?"

Inside the circus tent, looking at the empty seats around them, Detective Zhou and Detective Phil involuntarily looked at each other.

"Did he tell you when he left?"

"No."

Shaking his head, Detective Zhou scanned the surrounding circus guests with his head, but trying to find a figure in this dense crowd was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

"Maybe, he just went out to go to the bathroom."

The team members who act together are still very important to the investigation of supernatural cases. The disappearance of the psychic teacher is undoubtedly a big event.

Considering that Spike also had this kind of practice of leaving without saying goodbye before, Agent Phil had to work hard to find possible reasons.

"I don't think he will disappear from the circus for such a reason."

But, apparently, Agent Phil's excuses, let alone Agent Zhou who was on the sidelines, didn't even believe him.

"So, what do we do next?"

Spike's sudden disappearance obviously disrupted the BSI team's plan.

Detective Phil looked at the empty seat, then looked back at the ongoing performance on the stage, and couldn't help asking Detective Zhou beside him.

"The task is urgent."

Reaching out to pull down his sleeves to block his increasingly painful arm, Detective Zhou looked at Barnum, who was constantly waving his whip and making circus speeches, and made a difficult judgment.

Regardless of the reason for Spike's departure, they must fulfill their investigative tasks.
