The circus was in chaos.
More and more animals swarmed in from the entrance of the tent, like a surging tide, searching for the humans in the circus.
At this time, there weren't many animals in the square. Most of them were police officers patrolling the various entrances to ensure vigilance and basic order.
Tonight was the last auction before the circus festival, and it was also an annual big day. Many important figures came to participate and gathered together. Even the Crown Prince of the Royal Palace had come, not to mention the nobles, nobles, and nobles, as well as the Royal Family's Royal Family's Royal Family's Royal Family's Royal Family's Royal Family's Royal Family.
Countless shiny gold coins sprinkled from the fingers of these important figures. An entire night of auction could earn one-fifth of the entire circus's annual share. Who dared to not take it seriously?
Under such circumstances, the loss of two precious humans made the circus break out in cold sweat.
Originally, these two precious humans were captured by the church that cooperated with the circus. After several years of preparation for the summoning ceremony, the leader of the church personally took action and successfully captured them from outside. They planned to use them for the highlight of the carnival festival three days later. If it weren't for the interest of a few important figures in the palace, they would have been locked in the backstage of the circus for the past three days, waiting for the carnival festival to arrive.
Not to mention that the church needed them, just the right to use them for three days was enough to make the important figures eyeing them covetously. If something really went wrong, the circus wouldn't be able to give an explanation.
The auction was still going on, and with the estimated time for the banquet and dance, they might be able to last until tomorrow morning.
If they couldn't find the lost cat and husky before tomorrow morning, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The boss of the circus was a wild boar with a black mane. When he received the news, he was squinting his eyes and enjoying a glass of vodka with ice. After hearing the report, his hand trembled and he almost poured the cold wine into his huge nostrils.
"You bunch of trash, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and find them!"
He chased the rest of the Ox-head and Horse-face out of the circus office. With two pig trotters on his back, he paced around the room irritably.
"What's the situation at the auction?"
Rabbit, who came to report, replied obediently, "Reporting to Commander, at that time, a new batch of human skin handbags was announced. All the noble ladies are very generous and have taken turns to raise the price. It's inevitable that their voices are a little louder. It seems that they haven't noticed the alarm backstage. "
"That's good, that's good."
Wild Boar heaved a long sigh of relief. "Let's hurry up and send the dinner dishes prepared by the kitchen. Try to delay as much as possible."
Then, it pondered for a moment. "Where did the two humans go?"
"Many civilians in the square seemed to be frightened when they saw them. They ran all the way to the circus's main tent."
"The main tent of the circus …"
The wild boar's expression changed. "The backstage of the circus leads to an underground farm. Quickly send a message to the farmers and tell them not to confuse the two precious humans with those livestock."
The rabbit hurriedly complied and hurriedly ran outside.
.....
It was clearly close to midnight, but the square around the circus was still bustling with people at such a late hour.
Animals holding torches searched the huge backstage of the circus. Their ferocious beast heads were reflected on the ground, like demons baring their fangs and brandishing their claws in myths.
Their footsteps echoed in the surroundings, making people feel uneasy.
Magician and Yin Yang Master squatted on the ground and looked at each other silently.
Zong Jiu broke the silence. "How is it?"
Tokumon secretly gave him a thumbs up. "With my many years of experience as a Two-thorn Ape, there's definitely no problem."
As he spoke, he clicked his tongue in wonder. "I didn't expect Magician to be such a good seedling in women's clothing. Sure enough, you can do whatever you want with a good-looking face."
Zong Jiu was speechless.
Receiving such a comment again really didn't make him feel happy at all.
But to be honest, his body was thin and slender, and his face was beautiful. It was a beauty that transcended gender. Indeed, he didn't look out of place in women's clothing. He didn't even need to apply lipstick like Tokumon.
Yin Yang Master patted his shoulder understandingly. "It's okay, I feel what you're feeling now. Usually, it's like this for the first time in women's clothing. Whether or not the clothes fit is still a problem. The main thing is to get over the hurdle in your heart. "
Zong Jiu glanced at him from the corner of his eyes.
Looking at this guy's familiar face, it was no wonder that there was such a huge uproar when the masquerade party was exposed. You really couldn't judge a book by its cover.
After going through a mental struggle … Actually, there was no struggle at all. After all, the situation was pressing, and he had to dress as a woman.
Who would have thought that when he was at the masquerade party, Zong Jiu refused to listen to the stylist's advice. Now, he was still on the path of no return.
The two of them squatted on the ground.
One of them was wearing a high-slit cheongsam with red flowers embroidered on the bottom of the black cloth, and a pair of snow-white cat ears on her head. The other was wearing a colorful circus dress, and a dog's tail was clipped at the back of the dress. She tried to make her costume resemble the animals outside.
Because the boxes backstage of the circus lacked the necessary animal masks, they couldn't disguise themselves as the animals. They could only temporarily change their appearance when they were wearing prison clothes and running barefoot. In any case, the animals wouldn't be able to tell that they were humans who escaped from the auction house at a glance.
At the auction just now, many of the rich ladies wore big hats on their heads and veils in front of their eyes. Zong Jiu followed suit and fixed two pieces on his and Tokumon's faces. The effect was outstanding.
By the way, when he threw the dice, Tokumon's disguise skill check failed again.
In the end, Zong Jiu used his 20 points of disguise to successfully throw two dice. After disguising himself, he also disguised Tokumon. Only then did the two of them put on their disguises.
Anyway, there was no live broadcast in this instance, and there was no audience. As Zong Jiu said, only he and Tokumon would know that he was wearing women's clothes, and it was a cheongsam with a high slit.
The subsystem's monotonous voice sounded.
[Congratulations, you've successfully disguised yourselves into a completely different appearance from before. However, of course, this disguise isn't that seamless. If someone keeps staring at you intently, they may see some unusual flaws.]
There was a burst of whispers in the distance. Looking at the shadows, it seemed like the Ox-Head and Horse-Face creatures from before were chasing after them.
Zong Jiu listened from afar and caught a few words.
"Subsystem, give me a listen. I want to hear what they're saying."
As he spoke, he pressed down on Tokumon's hand that was about to throw the dice.
The nature of throwing ten-sided dice was no different from gambling in a sense. The more you didn't believe that your luck was bad, the more you wanted to prove it.
But good lord, if Tokumon failed again, then their previous disguise could be said to have been for naught.
Zong Jiu was really afraid of the Onmyoji's luck, which couldn't be saved even if their bloodline was removed.
He was now basically certain that Tokumon's bragging in front of the other S-Class about his achievements before he obtained the Onmyoji's ability was definitely not accurate.
Thus, he spun his die under Tu Yumiemon's resentful gaze.
[Your throw result is 15/30. Listen successful.]
Suddenly, the sounds that seemed to be quite far away in the distance suddenly became clear.
The voices of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face creatures intertwined, accompanied by the elongated shadows on the ground. It was strange and absurd.
"Go go go, don't waste time. There's so much junk on this floor, it must have been searched long ago."
"There's only one floor of the circus. If we go down, we'll reach the underground farm. Should we go down and take a look?"
"Those two animals might have run to the farm. Didn't human livestock escape from the farm a few days ago? Really, every time it's close to the carnival festival, these animals are always restless. "
"Let's go down first. It just so happens that the leader ordered me to go to the restaurant just now."
.....
Zong Jiu retracted his gaze and lowered his voice. "There seems to be an underground farm down there. If I'm not wrong, it's very likely that the humans are locked up there. Let's follow them down and take a look."
Tokumon nodded. "Okay, then let's try to walk in the dark."
There were still holes in the veil. If they walked in a place with strong light, it was inevitable that they would be seen.
Based on the current situation, of course, it was better to be cautious.
The Onmyoji immediately stood up from the ground. The skirt that folded like a cake swayed in the air twice, covering a pair of high stilettos that were several centimeters high. She twisted her waist and left the place skillfully.
Zong Jiu, "?"
He looked at the Onmyoji's graceful back in her high heels and lowered his head to look at himself. He had no choice but to slow down because of the high slit cheongsam.
Fortunately, the cheongsam could be worn with cloth shoes.
The two of them managed to slip into the ranks of the animals without mishap.
Many animals in the square were attracted by the thousand gold coins, so there were all kinds of clothes here. One of them had a cat's ears on his head and the other had a dog's tail swaying behind her. Coincidentally, the light was dim, so the other animals didn't notice anything unusual.
It was just that Zong Jiu's walk was slightly unnatural.
This was because he was riding around with his skirt. This time, he was really walking with wind.
As for the shame of wearing female clothing, sorry, Magician didn't have that kind of thing.
In order to hide, Zong Jiu deliberately walked close to the darkness at the base of the wall, and also blocked the sight of a few animals.
At this time, it wasn't a good thing to have too much charm and appearance.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry. If we're slow, we don't know who will get the thousand gold coins."
They followed the bustling animals and turned left and right, going deep into the circus.
Surprisingly, there was a huge underground city under this unknown dungeon.
The "carnival festival" that the animals mentioned made him a little concerned.
According to their tone, the humans in the underground farm were very likely to be of great use during the festival.
In addition, the last message that the main system sent to the sub-system. It was a creature in this dungeon that summoned them to this dungeon. The deeper meaning behind it was even more worth pondering.
Just as he was thinking, Zong Jiu's face suddenly darkened and he coldly looked behind him.
Strangely, there was no one behind him, not even a shadow.
Zong Jiu frowned and turned back.
Just a moment ago, he felt something touch his leg.
