Chapter 204 Explosion
Chapter 204 Explosion
The narrow passage easily accommodated the petite Jiang Qi.
The staff member wasn't so lucky; he was too big to squeeze into the narrow passage.
It could only see Xiao Jiangqi's receding figure; it couldn't even grab his feet.
They only allowed Xiao Jiangqi to go to the toilet for a short time before letting him break free of his shackles and find a way to escape.
When this news came out, Miss Rabbit remained unusually calm and was not disturbed at all by this sudden change.
Her pale face displayed a calm demeanor, as if she had everything under control.
It seems she had anticipated this situation, which is why she was able to remain so calm.
Xiao Jiangqi's unusual calmness suggests that he is an exceptionally clever and cunning human being.
Therefore, Miss Rabbit wasn't in a hurry to go find him.
First, the ventilation ducts are extensive and difficult for Xiao Jiangqi to find the exit, and the exit is guarded by staff, unless he is looking for trouble.
Secondly, the deeper into the ventilation duct, the thinner the oxygen becomes, and there are also sharp threads; he wouldn't choose to stay inside forever.
"The circus performances will continue as usual, and he will be back."
"Don't make a fuss, go to work."
Miss Rabbit spoke softly, her eyes burning even more crimson.
She needs to help the principal deal with disobedient children.
The staff left the stage and returned to it.
The ventilation ducts were interconnected, and after climbing for a long time, a fork in the road appeared ahead.
He hesitated for a long time, his mind racing, knowing that one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.
But he's no pushover.
Xiao Jiangqi turned his head and found that no staff members were coming to chase him.
They have a place to hide for now, but this is not a long-term solution.
Compared to other children, he has experienced so much of the world.
How could you be fooled by temporary peace and stability? You're too naive to fool him.
The lighter's flame flickered, illuminating Xiao Jiangqi's profile.
He fell into deep thought; hiding inside the ventilation duct was only his immediate option, not the best one.
However, it would be somewhat difficult to turn back.
He could only crawl forward, pressing his ear close to the cold tube wall to feel the vibrations of the sound.
Judging from the sound, climbing to the left should allow you to reach the ventilation duct directly above the center of the stage.
However, Xiao Jiangqi ultimately couldn't shake off his inherent flaws as a non-human being, and secretly plotted in his heart.
Right now, all he has is a lighter.
Although it is unknown who left the lighter there, whether it was intentional or accidental.
However, Xiao Jiangqi knew that he could burn down this sinful circus without considering the consequences.
If a fire were set on fire here, the animal audience, now free from the control of the strings, would instantly fall into a deathly silence.
Their once lively and energetic figures will vanish without a trace, as if they have turned into lifeless corpses.
Why not just burn the circus to the ground and eliminate any future problems?
As for the puppet threads, it was the little boy with heterochromia who secretly told him about them.
Rewind to fifteen minutes earlier, where Xiao Hansheng's extraordinary eyesight played a crucial role.
In his scarlet eyes.
The animals standing below the stage, cheering and jumping for joy, each had an extremely thin silver wire hanging above their heads, except for the twelve zodiac animals.
These silver wires, as light as spider silk, hang in the air and sway slightly with the animals' movements.
It's incredible.
It's as if an unseen entity is manipulating the animal audience.
They were all puppets at his mercy, which frightened Xiao Hansheng.
Xiao Hansheng subconsciously told the calm and collected Xiao Jiangqi about this discovery.
Because, inexplicably, he believed in Xiao Jiangqi.
Unfortunately, no player noticed this detail.
The reason why viewers in the live stream could clearly see the circus performance was entirely due to the perspective presented from Xiao Jiangqi's point of view.
They had not seen this scene appear in the previous Paradise Lost instances.
If Jiang Qi hadn't died and the live stream's perspective had shifted to little Jiang Qi, they might never have known about the circus performance.
This is an animal's attack on humans, a primal and bloody massacre.
Miss Rabbit stood on the stage, the spotlight focused on her.
Above her head, Xiao Jiangqi pulled open the barrier.
In full view of everyone, he jumped down and pounced on Miss Rabbit.
Miss Rabbit's vision went black for a moment, and she could smell a faint odor of smoke in her nostrils.
The judges and audience members below the stage reacted with indifference, disdain, or surprise, before the animal howls erupted.
The crowd below the stage was in complete chaos, jostling forward to try and grab this daring human.
A key was shoved into Xiao Hansheng's hand, and he ran off quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Humans have always been cunning and despicable, but they are also undeniably intelligent, able to outwit and manipulate others.
The more anxious they are, the more likely they are to make things worse.
Miss Rabbit's headgear was covered in dark handprints, and her voice was cold and terrifying.
"Catch him, don't let him escape!"
Like walking a dog, Xiao Jiangqi used the complex corridors to escape the pursuit of the animals.
Xiao Jiangqi silently counted down the time in his mind.
As they rounded a corner, Miss Rabbit slowly approached, her elegant steps unhurried, as if Xiao Jiangqi were already hers for the taking.
Xiao Jiangqi didn't make any further moves, his eyes sharp, his lips opening and closing.
"Five, four, three, two, one."
"Boom——"
A deafening explosion resounded through the sky. Miss Rabbit stared at Xiao Jiangqi in disbelief, a wave of heat washing over her.
"When you come to arrest me, do you want to check what's going on behind you? Unfortunately, your circus performance is about to end."
Even if Miss Rabbit is silly, she knows what happened inside.
With flames soaring into the sky, the twelve zodiac animal representatives, who were busy putting out the fire, and the children who were running away, would not even notice his tiny figure.
All the animal viewers seemed to have pressed the pause button, and all that could be heard was a series of mournful howls.
Taking advantage of the moment when Miss Rabbit and the other staff were stunned, Xiao Jiangqi took off running again.
With its nimble little body, it easily dodged the grabbing arm with a bent-over and a leap.
He handed the key to Xiao Hansheng, and in doing so, he attracted most of the firepower.
After all, Xiao Jiangqi only agreed to save his companions; the others were none of his concern.
However, he is inextricably linked to this accident. In fact, it could be said that because of his arson, the children who could have survived died in the flames.
Xiao Jiangqi lacked self-awareness as a human being.
He will not feel guilty or burdened by remorse.
He simply chose the method that maximizes his own interests; whether they can escape or not is entirely up to fate.
