018 Runaway Circus

Yiai and the guards went to the cathedral to report, while Li Yu returned to the hotel room and chatted for a long time with Ella in the bag.

From the economy to cultural customs, from currency to the level of force, as well as the comparison of the population of nobles and civilians, the comparison of the spheres of influence of the Kingdom of God and the Mage Association, etc... He has many details that he wants to know about this era.

After chatting for an unknown amount of time, the door was knocked again.

Yiai outside the door shouted: "All the official things to be done in Baghdad have been done, but Mr. Li, your clothes haven't been finished yet. Since you can't leave here these days, why don't you go out for a walk and appreciate this place?"

Big city style?”

Li Yu replied: "Okay, I'll be out right away."

Then as soon as he stood up, he heard Ella say in the earphone: "Don't leave me. I can open the zipper a small gap and go shopping lying down."

"no problem."

————

Li Yu and Yiai walked side by side on the avenue of Baghdad.

The sunshine in the desert is still dazzling, but fortunately there are neat street trees planted on both sides of the road. The tall tree trunks and lush branches and leaves provide precious shade to passersby.

Five guards followed the two of them, silently, looking at everything around them.

Li Yu suddenly stopped and listened.

The sound of high-pitched flutes and tambourines floated in the distance.

"Mr. Li, what's wrong with you?" Yiai asked. He also heard the sound of the musical instruments and said, "Oh, it's the circus playing music."

"I heard similar music this morning. Is it all from the circus?"

Yiai smiled and said: "It should be. Just two or three circuses can make a city lively. Maybe what we heard is the same circus we met in the oasis before!"

The group of people continued to stroll, and the sound of cheerful music got closer and closer. It was not until they passed an intersection that the source of the music appeared in their field of vision, and they realized that it was indeed that group of people.

The same tulle, the same graceful girl, and the same muscular man. The only difference from when we met in the oasis is that there are no big sleds in the city, and the tulle girls are standing on a

On a convertible trolley.

This open-top trolley is a mobile stage with six wheels underneath, pulled by a front engine.

Some of the gauze girls on the stage are playing the flute, some playing the tambourine, and some are singing and dancing. However, whether it is the posture of playing the flute, the gesture of playing the tambourine, or the posture of singing and dancing, they are all particularly sultry.

, every move is full of connotations that are not suitable for children.

There was a little boy on the roadside who looked curiously at the circus car, but after just one glance, his mother covered his eyes with her hands. The young mother wrapped in a robe was still not satisfied with covering her child's eyes, and pointed at the child.

The group of enchanting girls spat.

But most of the passers-by watched with interest, and from time to time some people whistled and cheered.

On the trolley, the leading gauze girl came to the end of the song and announced in a louder voice: "We are the wandering desert circus! Recently, we have been performing every night outside the city gate in the open space beside the Tigris River!

Not only are there singing and dancing performances, there are also animal taming performances!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the muscular man behind him swung his whip, making a crisp "pop" sound in the air.

There were two hemp ropes wrapped around the waist of the strong man, and the ropes tied two monkeys. When the two monkeys heard the sound of the whip, they immediately screamed "chichijiji" and jumped back and forth...

At this time, Li Yu and Yi Ai were both standing on the roadside, watching the circus's promotion.

Yiai suddenly asked: "Are you going to see it tonight?"

Li Yu: "Singing, dancing and animal taming performances? I'm not very interested."

Iello sighed with regret: "You are simply more ascetic than a believer."

Li Yu: "It's not that I'm pure and stoic, it's just..."

For him, there is nothing new, whether it is singing, dancing or taming animals. People who have grown up in the Internet era are most indispensable for sensory entertainment stimulation. As for scenes that are not suitable for children, he did not want to put aside his vigilance in the oasis before.

Indulge, now that there are so many strangers, naturally I have no intention of doing so.

But just when he was thinking about what to say, Ella's warning suddenly sounded in his earphones:

"No, there are central control chips and nanomachines nearby!"

Li Yu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He looked around but didn't find anyone suspicious, so he brought the backpack in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Who are you talking about?"

Ella: "I don't know either, I can only sense that it's nearby."

Unable to determine the source of the danger, Li Yu could only lower his center of gravity, tense his muscles, and be ready to take action at any time. In his mind, he also guessed how the danger would occur and several possible countermeasures.

Is the danger directed at himself or the noble young man beside him?

Is your choice to go forward and fight, or to avoid it?

We can only adapt to circumstances...

The circus trolley drove to the nearest place and came to Li Yu and Yi Ai.

Yiai met the eyes of the tulle girl in the lead, and his face started to turn red again. The tulle girl also noticed this rich young man who could afford to drive a high-end off-road vehicle, and out of professional habit, he blew a kiss.

.

However, at this time, Li Yu was full of vigilance. Therefore, he noticed the abnormality on the trolley faster than others.

It's not the people who are abnormal, it's the monkeys.

Of the two monkeys led by the strong man, one still looked confused, but the other noticed Yiai with a fierce look in his eyes.

The abnormal monkey used its two front paws to pull off the rope around its neck.

No one else had reacted yet, but Li Yu noticed that the hemp rope was torn apart by the monkey. How much force does this have to take?

The monkey jumped up and rushed straight towards Yiai. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the noble young man!

Yiai was completely stunned.

At the same time, Li Yu had already put down his backpack. He kept an eye on the monkey's movements, lowered his body, and kicked the monkey violently to the side, sending the monkey flying away.

"What's going on!"

"That monkey!"

"What the hell, is the monkey sick?"

"Could it be that the devil is causing trouble..."

The monkey crashed into the crowd of onlookers on the roadside, making many curses.

Another strong man in the car jumped out quickly, ran to the fallen monkey, and yelled: "Damn beast, you want to be beaten again, don't you?"

However, before the strong man could reach out to grab it, the monkey jumped on the strong man's head and broke it off.

There was a "click" and the man's cervical vertebrae were broken.

The strong man immediately lost his breath and fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut off.

There were screams of terror all around.

The monkey turned to stare at Li Yu and Yi Ai, then rushed over again...
