Chapter 59 The Bizarre Circus
"circus?"
Zhao Yi looked up and saw a large crowd gathered in front of him.
In the center of the crowd, there was a huge tent.
A sign stood in front of the tent that read "Qinghe Circus".
"I don't think I've ever seen a circus performance in my entire life."
Zhao Yi immediately became interested.
He left the Heavenly Dao Divine Weapon somewhere nearby and walked straight over.
"Young master, come and take a look! Our circus has all sorts of intelligent animals, as well as rare and exotic creatures!"
A clown dressed in flashy clothes came up to us with a grin.
"How much?" Zhao Yi asked.
"Admission is only ten copper coins, guaranteed to satisfy you!"
The clown held up ten fingers, his face beaming with smiles.
Zhao Yi casually tossed out ten copper coins and walked into the tent.
Inside the tent, quite a few people were already seated.
In the center was a circular stage, with torches lit around it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the exciting performance is about to begin!"
A middle-aged man in a suit and wearing half a black mask walked onto the stage, holding a microphone and speaking loudly.
"First up is our circus star—the monkey who can do math!"
As he finished speaking, a monkey was led out.
The monkey was wearing a red vest and a hat, and looked very clever.
What is three plus two?
The animal trainer took out a board with arithmetic problems written on it.
The monkey scratched its ears and cheeks for a while, then picked out a card with the number "five" written on it from the cards next to it.
"good!"
A round of applause erupted from the audience.
"How clever!"
Zhao Yi's eyes also flashed with surprise.
However, he had also heard that in some laboratories, some monkeys or chimpanzees could even do addition and subtraction within 100.
"Next up, an even more spectacular performance!"
With a wave of his hand, the animal trainer brought over another black bear.
The black bear walked upright and could even roll the ball while stepping on it.
They even do somersaults, eliciting cheers from the audience.
"interesting!"
Zhao Yi was also watching with great interest.
But as he looked at it, Zhao Yi suddenly frowned.
"Something feels off!"
The sixth sense brought about by his powerful physique seemed to have taken on a strange new form.
"Open the Dharma Eye, connect Yin and Yang!"
Zhao Yi calmly took out his magical artifact and activated his Dharma Eye.
In an instant, the world in his eyes changed.
The monkey and the black bear were shrouded in a faint aura of resentment!
The resentment was very faint; ordinary people couldn't see it at all.
But Zhao Yi could see it all clearly.
"These animals, being trained in circuses, are bound to be beaten."
"But how could an ordinary animal harbor such resentment?"
Zhao Yi suddenly felt a little confused.
Every intelligent being has seven emotions and six desires.
Therefore, it's normal to have both resentment and affection.
But when resentment builds up, that's a different story.
Such resentment cannot be born from a few beatings.
Especially considering that these are just animals.
They were inherently limited in wisdom, and their thoughts and feelings were not that complex.
It is even more difficult for resentment to be generated and solidified to the level of vengeful spirit.
Something's not right!
Zhao Yi's gaze sharpened, then he looked behind him at the other animals waiting to take the stage.
Goats, dogs, tigers...
Every animal was shrouded in resentment.
Although the degree varies, they all exist!
The resentment of the donkey was so intense that it was pitch black and almost tangible.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Yi was puzzled, and his gaze swept over the circus staff.
Clowns, animal trainers, jugglers...
There were more than a dozen people in total.
"The Eye of Sin!"
Zhao Yi immediately used his pupil technique to check the sin values of these people.
[Sin Value: 187 strands (Deeply Sinful)]
[Sin Value: 103 strands (Deeply Sinful)]
[Sin Value: 116 strands (Deeply Sinful)]
One sin value after another came into view, all exceeding one hundred!
Holy crap!
"What kind of den of beasts has this place entered? Not a single one of them has committed a sin less than one hundred!"
A cold glint flashed in Zhao Yi's eyes.
He then looked at the animals, opening his sinful eye.
However, the sin value of animals is not displayed.
"Can't you see it?"
"However, the resentment emanating from those animals is definitely not normal!"
"Could it be animal creation technology?"
He suddenly thought of a legendary evil spell.
This art of creating animals is an extremely cruel and evil practice.
They skinned people alive and then used special methods to seal their souls into the bodies of animals.
To turn a person into a beast!
The person who has been subjected to the spell will retain a portion of their consciousness.
Can't live, can't die!
However, the spell to create animals is easy to break; simply give them water, and the curse will be lifted.
But what is even crueler, and what is also unsolvable, is another kind.
"Harvesting and mutilating!"
Zhao Yi then thought of an even more cruel and evil method.
Normal children are tortured into deformities, or stitched together with animals.
They then use the money for begging or performances to make a profit.
"Could the resentment emanating from these animals stem from animal creation techniques and the practice of killing and mutilation?"
Zhao Yi's face darkened.
If that's really the case, then this circus is utterly depraved!
"Xiao Hong, come and investigate this circus tonight."
Zhao Yi said in a low voice, patting the jade pendant at his waist.
"Yes, young master!"
Xiao Hong's voice came from the jade pendant.
Zhao Yi continued watching the performance, remaining outwardly calm and composed.
But in his heart, murderous intent had already taken root.
......
After the performance, Zhao Yi left the tent and found an inn in town to stay in.
Night falls.
Qinghe Town gradually quieted down.
"Little Red, go!"
Zhao Yi patted the jade pendant, and a faint light flashed, revealing Xiao Hong's figure in the room.
"Be careful, and report back immediately if you find anything."
"Yes, young master!"
Little Red transformed into a faint light and disappeared into the night.
Zhao Yi sat by the window, drinking tea and waiting.
Time passed little by little.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
"Why aren't they back yet?"
Zhao Yi frowned slightly.
With Xiao Hong's abilities, investigating a circus shouldn't be difficult.
After all, she is a ghost, and ordinary people can't see her at all.
Something's not right!
A bad feeling rose in Zhao Yi's heart.
He immediately got up and hurried towards the circus.
The circus was stationed on an open space on the east side of town.
When Zhao Yi arrived, he saw that the tent was brightly lit.
"Who goes there!"
When the two circus members on night watch saw Zhao Yi, they immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Get out of here!"
Zhao Yi, too lazy to waste words, struck out with his palm.
The two were sent flying backwards and fell unconscious to the ground.
The main reason Zhao Yi didn't make a move during the day was that there were more spectators at the circus.
If a real battle breaks out, it could easily affect ordinary people.
Although he is not a saint, he cannot treat ordinary people as worthless.
How many people who grew up under the red flag and received nine years of compulsory education could actually kill innocent people indiscriminately?
At the beginning of human nature is good.
