Chapter 252 General Thumb
bang bang—

Backstage in the circus tent, Amanda pulled the trigger, making a crisp gunshot.

Opposite her, the short figure of [General Thumb] turned into an afterimage, dodging the flying bullets in an instant.

[Black Iron] Although it is only the lowest-level character card in Zhao Yuan's system judgment, it cannot be damaged by simple bullets.

As a member of the circus, [General Thumb]'s short body is not only used for burlesque acts.

Backstage, [General Thumb] moved quickly to avoid Amanda's shooting. Bullets rained towards him, but he easily dodged it.

"Do you know what I hate most about you?"

While moving, [General Thumb]'s voice sounded erratically.

"I hate the look in your eyes, the kind of superior and pitiful eyes, what right do you have to look down on me!"

Following the sharp voice of [General Thumb], a bloodstain instantly appeared on Angela's calf.

Looking down at her cut trouser legs and scars, Angela's face flashed with pain.

Because of its short stature, [General Thumb]'s strength cannot match that of an adult, and the damage caused by swinging a sharp sword cannot be killed in one blow, but it has become the biggest obstacle for Amanda and the others to leave here.

"I'm going to cut off your legs little by little, so that you can no longer look down on me."

An erratic figure appeared somewhere, [General Thumb] stuck out his tongue to lick the blood stained on the blade, and a distorted smile flashed across the face of the childlike dwarf.In the next second, accompanied by piercing laughter, the short body turned into an afterimage again and rushed towards Amanda on the opposite side.

"I hate your eyes!"

In mid-air, [General Thumb] waved the sharp sword in his hand, stabbing fiercely at Amanda's eyes.

The scene of Amanda screaming after being pierced by herself has already appeared in my mind.

"Boss!"

On the side, Angela looked at the afterimage that was rushing towards Amanda, and exclaimed.

However, just a second before the sharp sword tip was about to pierce Amanda's eyeball.

The necklace around her neck suddenly flickered faintly.

"what?!"

Under the shroud of light, the sharp sword of [General Thumb] seemed to be blocked by an invisible force.

In mid-air, the piercing laughter stopped abruptly.

bang bang-

In the next second, Amanda seized the opportunity and fired several shots at [General Thumb] in mid-air without hesitation.

"Ah~"

Amidst the shrill screams, [General Thumb] ran from in front of Amanda to the corner like a dog with its tail between its legs.

A long streak of blood on the ground proved that Amanda's design just hit [General Thumb] accurately.

"Why, why, you have that kind of thing on your body..."

Covering the gunshot wound on his body, [General Thumb] stared at Amanda with resentful eyes, and at the same time, a look of surprise flashed uncontrollably in his eyes: "Who is it, could it be those... no... this a force more than they..."

Because of the gunshot wound on his body and fear of Amanda's strength, [General Thumb] did not attack as brazenly as before.

"Angela, get out of the circus right now!"

Holding a pistol aimed at [General Thumb] in front of her, Amanda shouted to Angela beside her.

"No!"

However, facing Amanda's words, Angela shook her head without hesitation.

Looking down at the wound on her leg, Angela took a deep breath and said to Amanda: "With my current situation, I can't run very far, so let's go quickly and leave me alone."

"Early when I joined BSI, I was ready."

"what are you saying!"

Seeing that Angela was unwilling to retreat, Amanda frowned even more: "As you can see, I have the means to resist the opponent's attack. As long as you evacuate from the tent, I will follow you immediately." , I'm not stupid enough to stay in the circus and fight."

Hearing Amanda's words, Angela's original firm face could not help showing a somewhat shaken expression.

Indeed, she also saw the scene where [General Thumb] attacked Amanda just now.

If that blow had landed on her, it might have succeeded long ago.

But Amanda was able to survive the opponent's attack unscathed, obviously she had her own support.

"This can't be done..."

However, Amanda has not yet made a decision.

The circus director's sharp voice sounded, and then he saw the obese figure of the other party limping to the backstage of the circus on crutches.

"Since the circus is here..."

Under the top hat, a smug smile flashed across Barnum's gloomy face. It grinned and showed its sharp teeth to Amanda and Angela backstage.

"It's not good to leave casually without my permission."

"Since you officers are here for these horses, let's keep them in the circus together."

"Exactly, I plan to expand the circus, arrange more performances, and make it even greater. I don't know if you can do what I want, police officer, and help me realize this great dream and make the circus become a bigger one." become greater."

Although he said a sincere invitation, Barnum's hand holding the crutch had already nodded to the ground a few times.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Following Barnum's move, Angela who was on the side began to cover her mouth and coughed violently.

Immediately afterwards, [General Thumb] in the corner also began to feel abnormalities in his body.

He looked down at his tiny, misshapen arm, a look of horror on his face.

"Captain, did you make a mistake, why am I included..."

Struggling with his body, he rushed to Barnum's feet, [General Thumb] reached out and grabbed Barnum's trousers, and begged sharply: "I have always faithfully followed what you said. Those who ordered to do things, please take back these powers."

"But you let me down, [General Thumb]."

Raising his leg and casually kicking [General Thumb] aside, Barnum looked at his body that gradually began to transform into a deformed and short body, and finally a gloomy color flashed on the sharp teeth, and said nonchalantly.

"I almost let the two of them run away from the circus, if I hadn't arrived in time..."

Appreciating the wailing of [General Thumb], his increasingly deformed body and huge head, a look of satisfaction flashed across Barnum's face.

Turning his head and looking at Amanda opposite, the distorted smile on his face suddenly stopped.

"Um?!"
