Drop, Drop, Drop, Drop, Drop—

It was night, and the cheerful music resounded throughout the circus.

Everyone was excited about Jenny Lind becoming the new leader of the circus, except [General Thumb].

He sat in front of the circus bonfire, silently watching the laughing and cheering people not far away, his ugly face full of depression.

"Why aren't you happy, Tom?"

I noticed the depressed [General Thumb] in the corner, [Bearded Girl] No, it should not be called [Bearded Girl] now, and I came to General Thumb] and sat down.

"Why am I happy?"

I looked up at Anne beside me. Although I eliminated the beard on my face with the help of [Swedish Nightingale], Anne's body shape is still much stronger than that of a normal woman.

"I tried my best to please Barnum, but it died. I finally thought I could replace it and become a new circus, but failed. I was looked down upon and ridiculed by people all my life, even if it was a circus. It would rather choose Jenny Linde as the new circus leader than choose me."

From the words of [General Thumb], Anne could clearly detect the dissatisfaction and resentment in his tone.

Anne didn't say much about this, but just reached out to his shoulder: "But you no longer need to do that. Tom and Barnum are dead. No one will force us to trade deformed performances for audience laughter. If you don't like your outfit and performance, you can do this at all."

"I can really change this outfit."

Hearing Annie's words, the expression on [General Thumb]'s face was silent at first, and then he confirmed with some uncertainty.

"certainly."

Anne clicked her head without hesitation.

Although the [bearded woman] after removing her beard still looked a little rough, the answer she gave made the expression on [General Thumb]'s face extremely excited.

Pulling the corner of his mouth, an ugly smile appeared. [General Thumb] looked down at the circus uniform on his body and pulled it out, revealing his skinny and short body, and two tears flowed out from his eyes.

...

Crunch, crunch—

However, no one in the circus discovered it.

During the carnival, a short figure walked out of the circus in stiff steps.

He turned his neck and made a harsh friction sound, and he turned his head one hundred and eighty degrees to stare at the cheerful circus behind him. The wooden eyeballs in his eyes turned up and down.

[Clockwork Puppet] Turn your neck and return to its original position, and with the rotation of the clockwork behind you, you walk step by step outside the circus.

At this moment, the walking puppet suddenly stopped his steps, and the clockwork behind him was still rotating on his own.

The wooden eyeballs in the eye sockets noticed the strangeness around them. As the puppet was gaze, everything around them began to become distorted.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and thin figure who was over two meters tall, wearing a suit and a black hat on his head, showed only sharp teeth, held a twisted umbrella in his hand, walked in distorted footsteps, and came to it crookedly.

Twisted his body, leaning over and staring at the [Clockwork Puppet].

...

"I'm honest, I think it's all futile."

Washington, alleyway.

Sitting in the car, he silently stared at the alley in front of him, the BSI agent in the passenger seat couldn't help but complain.

"Even if there is a 'mysterious' bar in this alley, I don't think it will appear in broad daylight."

"Agree, but you have to say this to the headquarters."

Hearing his colleague's complaints, the BSI agent went into the driver's seat and nodded without hesitation and agreed to his words.

However, he looked down at the file in his hand, but he shrugged helplessly and replied.

“…”

Hearing this, the BSI agent in the passenger seat immediately closed his mouth.

After all, they are just ordinary agents under the BSI and act according to the orders.

"At least you should be glad that our mission is only to monitor the alleys in Washington, rather than being arranged to investigate mysterious events in other small towns or unknown places. Otherwise, there would be more than two more names on the missing list of those BSI agents."

"Speaking of all, have the missing agents been found? Even the three BSI agents who disappeared earlier were also discovered. What is going on? It is said that even the army was transferred to the scene at that time?"

For the principle of confidentiality, BSI did not disclose details of the missing agent.

These BSI agents only learned some of the contents of the incident from some rare clues.

"It's not just the army, but I heard from agents from other departments that the psychological condition of these missing BSI agents has been affected to a certain extent, especially the three people who disappeared at the beginning. At present, the headquarters has arranged for them to be compulsory psychological treatment and cannot move until the psychological condition is fully restored."

"It is said that some agents have not been able to eat normally until now."

"Really or not?"

After listening to the description of the agent in the driver's seat, the expression on the BSI agent in the passenger seat was a little surprised.

Although he heard some information about the disappearance case, he was far from the details of the other party.

“Ten**…”

He clicked to confirm the authenticity of the description he said, and the agent in the driver's seat turned his attention back to the information in his hand.

The objects they monitored on this trip are clearly introduced above.

The full name of BSI-028 [BSI-028 Bar].

It is a small alley located in ████ Street, Washington District. There is no abnormality in the appearance of the alley. Under normal circumstances, no one who passes by can see the bar. According to [Mediator], this is because the bar is given a powerful illusion to avoid ordinary people from mistakenly entering it.

The initial information from the pool came from [Mediator].

According to the description of BSI agent ███ who entered the [BSI-028 Bar], the interior of [BSI-028 Bar] is a retro-decorated bar, playing the retro music of the 190s. At the same time, there are a large number of guests in [BSI-028 Bar]. It is not yet possible to determine whether these guests were originally part of [BSI-028 Bar] or entered from the outside world.

[BSI-028 Bar] itself belongs to [BSI-029 ███].

Warning: Any contact related to [BSI-029 ███] shall not be carried out privately and must be reviewed by the BSI headquarters.
