Chapter 46 44

People who bought tickets are entering the arena one after another.Family members, friends, couples and children slowly walked into the tent, found their own seats, and slowly filled the stands and boxes. They changed from different individuals into something called the audience, forming a completely different structure. □□□ out of shape □□□ Kara looked away from the large audience and turned to stop a guard.I've been waiting for a long time, do you know when Mr. Kadeski will be back?I really have something important to do. No, he didn't know.She asked two more people and got exactly the same answer.

She glanced at her watch again, filled with intense grief.The image of her mother flashed into her mind. She saw her lying in the Stuyvesant Nursing Home, looking around the room with clear eyes, with a puzzled expression on her face: Where did her daughter go?Thinking of being trapped here and unable to move, Kara felt so depressed that she wanted to cry.Although she longed to be able to fly to her mother right now, she also knew that she had to wait and do her best to stop the evil that Will was about to do. She turned to look inside the huge shiny circus tent.The performers were already waiting on the sidelines, wearing all kinds of weird comedic masks on their faces, ready for the opening act.Many children in the audience wore similar masks that their parents had bought for them at the expensive souvenir stands outside.Everyone was excited as kids in snub-nosed, hook-nosed and bird-beak masks looked around.However, Carla also discovered that some children are actually insecure.The weird masks and the weird and mysterious set decorations in the circus may remind them of scenes in horror movies.Carla loved performing for children, but she also knew she had to be careful; their sense of reality was different from that of adults, and an illusionist could easily undermine these young children's precarious sense of security.Therefore, in front of the children, Kara will only do some interesting performances, and after the performances, she will gather the children together and reveal to them the secret of the trick she just performed.

The enthusiastic atmosphere at the scene surrounded her, and she could feel the audience's excitement and anticipation. Her hands were sweating nervously, as if she was going to perform on stage later.Oh, if only now she was among the ready-to-go performers!She will be satisfied and confident, and in the excitement, she will feel her heartbeat gradually speeding up as the hands of the clock approach the moment when she takes the stage.What could feel better in this world than this? However, she immediately smiled wryly.This is the fantasy circus.And she is just a girl who works in a magic shop.

She couldn't help doubting herself: Is my strength good enough?Regardless of David.What Mr. Balzac said, but she does sometimes believe that she can do it.At least, he won't lose to Harry who just debuted that year.Houdini's only successful escape trick in his early years was when the audience couldn't bear to watch him mess up a simple trick and one by one escaped from the performance hall.Rob.The same goes for Woody. At first he had no confidence in his performance, and it was best to give the audience wind-up toys, such as a mechanical Turk who can play chess in a trick box.

However, when she looked backstage and looked at the hundreds of performers who have devoted themselves to this cause since childhood, Mr. Balzac's voice leaped into her heart again: Not yet, she has not heard these words at the same time. There is disappointment and relief.He was right, she finally had to admit.He is an expert in this field, and she is just a little apprentice.She has to have faith in him, maybe for another year or two.It's certainly worth the wait.What's more, she still has a mother to take care of She was probably sitting on the bed now, talking to Jenny, wondering where her daughter had gone. She had already been abandoned once that night, and now she shouldn't be in this place.

Kadeski's assistant appeared at the top of the stairs, waving her hand.is he backdefinitely is However, the young woman said: He just called back and said that he was going to the radio station for an interview, so there was a delay.He said he would be right back.His box is right in front, do you want to go there and wait for him? Carla nodded, walked towards the box seat pointed by the girl in disappointment, sat down, and turned her gaze to the tent again.She saw that the wonderful transfiguration activity was finally completed. The auditorium was full of men, women, old and children, and every empty seat had been filled.

boom. Carla was startled by a loud drumbeat echoing through the tent. The lights gradually dimmed, and finally went out completely, and the whole tent was plunged into darkness, except for the red dots of the emergency exit lights. boom. The crowd fell silent. bang bang bang The crisp drums sounded one after another, making people feel that their chests also resonated. bang bang A bright spotlight casts a spotlight in the center of the circular performance arena, illuminating an Alequino in a black and white tartan bodysuit, wearing a matching half-mask and holding a scepter Pointing high into the sky and looking around with a mischievous clown expression.

boom. He strode around the circle of the amphitheatre, and the other performers followed him, forming a long file and starting a parade.These people have characters from other stand-up comedies as well as characters masquerading as elves, fairies, princesses, princes or wizards.Some of them walk, some dance, and some do somersaults like gymnasts.Some walked on stilts and walked more gracefully than most pedestrians on the sidewalk; others appeared in a four-wheeled carriage or cart decorated with tulle, feathers and ribbons A small light bulb glowing brightly.Everyone marched perfectly to the beat of the drums.

bang bang A face with a mask, a face painted with white or black or silver or gold paints, a face covered with star-like sequins, hands playing with brightly colored balls, holding orbs or flames or candles or lanterns Hands, hands sprinkled with white colored paper like snowflakes Majestic, majestic, funny and grotesque. boom Like a hypnotic show, the parade embraces the past and the future, while sending a clear and palpable message: whatever world existed outside the tent, it was here and now completely invalid.Here you can temporarily forget everything you have learned in life, forget about human nature, forget about the laws of physics.Your heart beats not to its own rhythm now, but to the beat of the drum; and your soul is no longer yours It has joined this parade of otherworldliness, and entered with them at ease into this world of fantasy .
