Lord God decides to die

Standing on the stage, Lin Pei was almost lost in the crazy and dark cheers.He was silent for a second, and found that he was wearing a rather obstructive mask on his face. Just as he was about to take off the mask, he felt that his wrist was being restrained by an invisible force.

His arms were forcibly opened, facing the audience, drew a semicircle to the side, and stroked his chest.

A signature gesture of thanks.

The audience burst into cheers again, and several shriveled bouquets were thrown onto the stage.An acrobat tossing three small balls came up to him on a unicycle, glanced at him, and grinned professionally at the audience.

"The following is today's seventh program, let's invite Arnold..."

Lin Pei didn't hear the next words clearly.When the host spoke passionately, the magician standing behind the box grabbed Lin Pei's arm and dragged him into the backstage roughly.

The magician is a bad old man with thinning hair, only Lin Pei is as tall as his shoulders, and he is surprisingly strong.He took off his magic hat, fanned himself, and muttered cursingly.

"Damn, I really don't know why the boss hired this imbecile, he almost failed in the performance today..."

Behind the scenes, the smoke was thick and the lights were blinding.

Several actors laughed tacitly when they heard the magician's complaint.

They also had a deep grudge against the fool.

Lin Pei turned his head and saw the mask on his face through the mirror on the dressing table.

is a clown.

Before that, Lin Pei tried to take off the mask.But this clown mask seems to be glued directly to his face. If he pulls it off forcefully, the entire face will be torn off.

Lin Pei still doesn't want to see his head covered in blood.

He lowered his voice: "What's going on?"

Lin Pei asked Ni Zijiao, of course.

"I can't answer the question." Ni Zijiao whistled happily, "The task remains the same. Find the ghost."

Lin Pei pondered for a while, then chuckled.

"Thank you."

Ni Zijiao snorted.

He said that he couldn't get through the question, but there was already a clue in his words.

ghost.

It's "ghost" again.

A circus is a completely different setting than a hospital.Where the NPC and the situation are completely different, there should always be something that ties the two together.

"Hey, you blocked me!"

An arrogant cry brought Lin Pei back to reality.

The well-made dwarf pushed him away, jumped on the chair, and winked at the shiny mirror.

"What are you doing with this rubbish? It's a trash that can't talk. If you're lucky, the boss just picked it up..." The dwarf acted as if Lin Pei didn't exist, and scolded him, then clasped his hands together again, Praying exaggeratedly, "Oh, blind God! When will the old man show mercy to us and raise the wages a little bit, so that every New Year, we can get together and add half a chicken leg."

The crowd laughed again, looking at Lin Pei with pity.

Lin Pei kept silent, taking their various statements into his eyes.

From everyone's reaction, it can be seen that the role he plays is an unlovable mute who was taken back to the circus by the sudden kind-hearted boss, but other team members hate this clumsy clown very much.

But Lin Pei tried to speak out.There is nothing wrong with his vocal cords.

The dwarf finally adjusted his wig in front of the mirror, raised his orchid fingers, and stuffed the glass on the table into Lin Pei's hand.

"Trash, get me a glass of water."

Lin Pei took the water glass and walked out the door. Seeing this, the dwarf pointed at him and started laughing with others.

The backstage corridor is facing a glass window. Outside the window is an open-air parking lot. You can see the willows dragged by the strong wind and the night sky with lightning and thunder.

The water dispenser is at the end of the corridor.Lin Pei filled the glass with water, and saw that the box used by the magician to perform the transformation was placed in the corner.

It is impossible for the little devil to be kind enough to set the entrances and exits at the same place, but there may be a sliver of information left.

The magic box is a cube of about one cubic meter, the inner layer is metal, the outer layer is red patent leather, the front has a lid that can be opened manually, and the back has a hidden compartment.When the secret box is close to the raised floor on the stage, the actors hidden under the stage can enter the box from the secret passage to complete the performance.

Lin Pei was tired of watching the clumsy and old-fashioned magic tricks of the circus when he was a child.From this, the approximate background time of the dungeon can also be inferred.

He opened the lid.On the bottom of the box was a grimace with its tongue sticking out, its crimson tongue glistening with silver.He looked carefully under the dim light, and found that this silver light was a key.

Lin Pei took out the key from the magic box.The key is half the size of the normal model, and it doesn't look like it's used to open the door.

He put the key away and heard a soft rustling sound.

"That, that! Mr. Clown, do you have time now?"

Lin Pei turned around.

There was a dark-faced young man standing on the stairs behind him, and a young girl was hiding behind him, and the two of them tiptoed up from downstairs.

Audiences were not allowed to enter the backstage. Obviously, the teenagers and girls sneaked in by themselves.

Seeing the strangeness in Lin Pei's eyes, the boy hurriedly waved his hands: "Mr. Clown, don't drive us out, we just want to take a few minutes of your time..."

Lin Pei nodded.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief, took the girl's hand, and came to the clown together.

His face was flushed: "Mr. Clown, I learned the magic trick you performed the day before yesterday!"

As he said that, the boy put his hands together in front of his chest, counting down from ten to one, and turned his palms outward, and a rose with dewdrops appeared between his hands.

The teenager was so engrossed in performing magic that he didn't even blink his eyes.When he handed the rose to Lin Pei, he showed a professional and funny smile that resembled a clown mask.

The two looked at Lin Pei nervously, as if they were waiting for an evaluation from a master magician.Lin Pei smirked to himself, then nodded again, and the two laughed in relief.

The girl gently rubbed the boy's shoulder.The young man's face was burning hot, he squirmed his lips, scratched his head, summoned up his courage, and said, "Mr. Clown, I also want to join the circus in the future, and I want to be someone like you who brings smiles to others."

In the end, he took a peek at the beautiful girl from the corner of his eye, and carefully added: "Do you—do you think I'm talented?"

Lin Pei stared at the boy for a while.

He always felt that this child looked familiar.

"what's your name?"

The young man was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect the clown to ask himself this question.

I didn't expect the clown to speak either.He and the audience have always felt that Mr. Clown is dumb.

But he quickly showed a surprised expression, and said cheerfully: "My name is Li Xingchen!"

Hearing this, the corner of Lin Pei's mouth twitched, not surprisingly.

Li Chen, Li Xingchen.

The so-called "star", the child of the mother.

He guessed right.In the hospital, the reason why Li Xingchen called himself "Li Chen" was because of the setting of the hospital itself——

In order to protect the personal privacy of patients, when the hospital publicizes the names of registered patients, a character in the middle of the name will be erased.

The north building of the hospital preserves Li Xingchen’s infancy, 7044 records his infancy, and the circus records Li Xingchen’s childhood. Perhaps, there are other scenes that record the remaining stages of his life.

And Lin Pei needs to find a channel connecting these life stages, and in Li Xingchen's life stage, catch the ghost hiding in the dark.

... This is a big project.

Lin Pei raised his eyes and looked at the two people in front of him.

Two teenagers were still in their school uniforms.

He has long been used to seeing dream-chasing teenagers daydreaming, whether in reality or in the world of the main god.

A child of Li Xingchen's age should have studied honestly and dutifully in middle school.If you want to ignore the warnings and admonitions of your family and friends, and want to embark on heresy ways, you are either looking forward to this career too much, or you have been stimulated in life and want to escape the cruel reality.

To spend half a day learning such a little trick full of loopholes to prove his talent, in Lin Pei's eyes, it is really childish and ridiculous.However, he who has been rolling in a pool of blood since he was a child can't give any insights like a life mentor.

He was thinking about his words, and was about to brush off Li Xingchen's question, but the girl raised her hand shyly.

"Uncle Clown, I also want to introduce myself." The girl hiding behind Li Xingchen smiled and showed two canine teeth, "My name is Zhang Xingyue, which is the same as Xiaochen's name!"

Zhang Xingyue?

Satsuki? !

Lin Pei was taken aback.Between surprise and doubt, another world suddenly opened up in his heart.

... Li Xingchen said that "Xiaoyue" lived in the ward next to him.

She is 7044!

Lin Pei frowned subconsciously, his eyes drifted away from the hands held together by the boys and girls.

Who is the "star" in the mother's mouth?

Or, one person is a "star" and the other is a "ghost"...

Despite the turmoil in his heart, Lin Pei still maintained a calm and calm face.

"It's a good name." He shook hands with the two, took out a card of hearts from the mechanism in his sleeve, and gave it to the shy teenager and girl, "Did you meet each other in the hospital?"

The two looked at each other in surprise, and asked, "How do you know?"

Lin Pei carefully observed Li Xingchen's expression.

There is only surprise, curiosity and joy, and there is no fear of recalling the nightmare.

Li Xingchen has no memory of escaping from the hospital with him that night.

……what happened?

Suddenly, the roar of the guards came from downstairs.Li Xingchen and Zhang Xingyue knew that they had been discovered. Although they regretted that they could not hear the answer from Lin Pei, they had no choice but to say goodbye to Lin Pei in a hurry and sneak out of the place they came from.

At the same time, the deafening roar of lions and tigers was heard on the stage, as well as the eardrum-piercing screams of the audience.Backstage, he heard chairs overturned and the crowd scrambled onto the stage.

A wave of waves has risen again.

Lin Pei turned and walked backstage.

Ni Zijiao, who understood the complex inner heart of the player through the micro-expressions under Lin Pei's mask, laughed gloatingly.

Lin Pei heard his laughter, and the streamer in his eyes turned slightly: "This is not good, Lord God."

"Why not?"

"It's not really fair that I'm the only one thinking about it."

Ni Zijiao suddenly felt bad.

"Other players are also facing problems with similar difficulty as you, and they don't think it's unfair."

"I'm talking about you..."

Ni Zijiao's eyelids twitched: "Wait a minute, I don't want to hear—"

Holding a water glass, Lin Pei stepped into the backstage, ignored the Lord God's orders, and said casually and self-consciously: "Do you still remember that time when I was tricked by the ghost emperor and fell into a coma at home for five whole days."

"I don't remember." Ni Zijiao interrupted him dryly.

"It's okay, as long as I remember." Lin Pei smiled, "At that time, my luck was not very good, and I almost couldn't make it. But in the dream, a girl helped me and told me a lot about you."

"She said that her surname is Ni—it's the same rare surname as yours, Lord God."
