Chapter 259 Punishment
"..."

circus.

With Barnum's sharp voice, the atmosphere suddenly became dangerous.

Many circus members around Siren Head stopped their movements and looked at [Swedish Nightingale] in front of Barnum with a worried expression on his face.

But in front of Barnum, the expression on the face of Jenny Lind, who was facing the head of the circus, was particularly calm.

"[The bearded girl] was injured in the fight with Siren Head just now."

"is it?"

Hearing Jenny Lind's explanation, Barnum's gaze stayed on her for a while, and then he withdrew his gaze with a bit of unwillingness.

"I don't care what kind of injury she suffered, let her come back quickly, otherwise she will suffer better."

After finishing speaking, Barnum leaned on crutches and turned around, returning his attention to Siren Head in front of him.

"Whoo~"

Seeing the back of Barnum turning around, Jenny Lind breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"No, you're lying, Jenny!"

However, before Jenny Linde could relax, the head of the circus opposite her immediately turned around and said triumphantly.

"[The bearded girl] never fought Siren Head at all, she never participated in the battle from the very beginning..."

Wrapping the whip around Jenny Lind's slender neck, Barnum grabbed her in front of him with a little force, and the expression under the top hat became more and more dangerous: "Now, I will give you another chance, tell me [bearded woman] 】Where did you go, or you will be the [bearded girl] in the circus instead..."

Following Barnum's threat, the curse of distortion spread to Jenny Lind's body along the whip, and the golden beard loomed under her beautiful face.

"I'm here, Commander."

Seeing, the power of the curse is about to turn Jenny Lind into the second [bearded girl].

Suddenly, a burly [bearded woman] wearing a skirt appeared from the corner of the circus. She looked at Jenny Lind who was caught by Barnum, and said calmly.

Seeing the reappearance of the [Bearded Child], Barnum reluctantly let go of the whip wrapped around Jenny Lind's neck. With the release of the whip, the distortion force that originally acted on [Swedish Nightingale] also followed. After it dissipated, the beard on Jenny Lind's chin retracted and returned to its original delicate appearance.

"I was too scared to take part in the fight with Siren Head just now."

Under Barnum's gaze, [The Bearded Child] tried to put on a calm expression, and spoke out the draft he had prepared in his heart.

"Fear?"

Hearing the reason given by [The Bearded Woman], the corners of Barnum's mouth under the top hat raised uncontrollably, revealing the sharp teeth in his mouth.

"Do you think I'll believe your words, [bearded girl]?"

Limping up to the [bearded woman], Barnum stared at the face covered by the bushy beard, looked at the wandering look in her eyes, and said in a sharp and gloomy tone: "Still, you have done Are you ready to pay the price of lying?"

Raising the crutch in his hand, he nodded at the [bearded woman] in front of him.

In the next second, a large amount of dense hair grew uncontrollably from the body of [Bearded Child], and was wrapped by these hairs into a weird hairy man. In severe pain, he said in a firm tone: "Everything I said is the truth, leader, ah!"

Behind her, Jenny Lind clenched her fists and looked at the [bearded child] who was howling in pain because of the distortion curse, and tried her best to suppress her emotions from showing.

"good very good."

Turning his head, he took a meaningful look at [Swedish Nightingale] behind him.

Barnum nodded with a gloomy face, and looked at the "bearded girl" who was covered in black hair but still had a stubborn mouth.

"Since you are so afraid of fighting Siren Head, then for the next time, I will let you be 'intimately' with it, and never separate."

As Barnum's voice fell, it controlled the crutch in its hand and tapped the [bearded girl]'s shoulder.

Immediately afterwards, the hairs growing from her body started to run wild as if they were alive. They dragged violently on the ground and climbed up bit by bit towards the direction of the siren head.

Faced with this scene, the members of the circus around Siren Head moved away one after another. They watched the howling [bearded girl] and the moving hair on her body, with a bit of sadness flashing in their eyes.

Just like that, I dragged [Bearded Girl] to Siren Head, and the hairs on her body began to spread out, climb and attach to Siren Head's shriveled body, and began to drill into it as if he had found a target. go in.Faced with these all-pervasive hairs, the Siren Head who fell in the circus wailed and sounded the alarm, but he was powerless to resist it all.

Barnum's purpose was to connect [The Bearded Woman] and Siren Head together abruptly, turning them into deformed monsters.

"All right."

Seeing that, with the sound of the hair sinking into Siren Head's body getting louder, nearly one-third of [Bearded Woman]'s body has been connected to Siren Head.

"It was I who asked [The Bearded Child] to let go of the female detective in the circus."

Jenny Lind admitted.

"If you want to punish, punish me, [bearded child] is just following my orders."

Raising the palm of the hand, the intruding hair on Siren Head's body paused.

Barnum turned his head to look at Jenny Lind who stood up, with an expression of successful tricks on his face.

Trying to suppress the smile on his lips, Barnum made a fake look at Jenny Lind and sighed: "It really makes me sad, Jenny, as the ace of the circus, I have always been I have never treated you badly, and I held you high on the stage of the circus, but in the end you used betrayal to repay my care for you..."

While shaking his head and sighing, Barnum even wiped the corners of his eyes on purpose, shedding a few crocodile tears, and then said with a very unwilling expression: "As the head of the circus, I really want to Forgive everything you have done, even if it is betrayal, but according to the rules of the circus, betrayal must pay a price, this is a fact that I, the head of the circus, cannot change."

"However, before that, the first thing to do is to close the unfinished punishment."

Flicking his fingers, putting away his hypocritical appearance, Barnum turned his head to look at the [bearded girl] on Siren Head and said with a sharp laugh.

After all, it has never said that Jenny Lind admits everything she has done, and let go of such words as [bearded child].

For those who dare to betray themselves in the circus, Barnum will not be soft-hearted.
