Chapter 101 Amazing Circus
Ferrin and Julie go to the theater manager to inquire about the circus's schedule.
Alan stayed in the performance venue, which was decorated in a childlike manner, to check the equipment discarded on the scene.
See if you can find any suspicious traces.
There was a wooden box on the ticket counter.
It seemed that the circus left in a hurry and forgot to take the props.
Alan felt that he looked familiar.
Walk over and take a closer look.
There are colorful lottery advertisements on the box.
Only customers under 16 years old can enter the lucky draw once with their ticket.
The winner gets a lollipop.
There was a hole in the lid of the wooden box that was big enough for just one hand to fit in, specifically for drawing lots.
There were also some small notes in the box, which were lottery tickets.
Alan tried to reach in and grab the note, and suddenly felt a slight pain on the back of his hand.
There seems to be a burr on one side of the hole.
After opening the lid and observing carefully, it turned out that it was not a burr, but a blood collection needle taped to the inside of the lid with tape, and its extension and retraction was controlled by a spring.
When children reach in to grab the prizes, they may get their hands pricked if they are not careful.
It's like being bitten by a mosquito, but I won't care.
Before I knew it, my blood was drawn.
What is the purpose of designing such a sophisticated device specifically for collecting blood from children?
The answer is obvious.
The purpose of drawing blood in this way is to detect whether the drawee has warlock bloodline.
Children who are detected to have warlock bloodline and above average qualifications will become targets of kidnapping.
Alan looked around the counter.
As I wished, I found some lollipop wrappers.
Pick them up and check them one by one.
Seven candy wrappers, six of which were unresponsive.
Only one piece of candy wrapper was detected to contain a slight amount of toxin.
good!
Alan was very familiar with this smell.
Isn't it mandrake alkaloid? !
He almost fainted after eating this kind of candy.
Alan picked up the lottery box and candy wrappers, turned back to find the Griffin siblings, and showed them the evidence left by the traffickers.
He briefly explained his reasoning logic and the brother and sister were convinced.
The three of them immediately left the theater and headed for the airport as quickly as possible!
Flynn had already asked the theater manager.
Amazing Circus, a total of nine members.
Including eight actors: puppeteer, strongman, magician, snake charmer, knife thrower, ventriloquist, clown, and animal tamer.
And their leader, a man named Ethan.
We will leave Griffin Island on the Griffin airship at 7 o'clock this evening!
It is now six fifty, and there are only ten minutes left before the airship takes off.
Even if Allen and Griffin grew wings, they wouldn't be able to fly to the airport in time.
Fortunately, Julie was calm enough. She immediately took out her communication book and sent a "communication spell" to the airport officials based on the set of "secret seals" recorded on it.
"I asked the harbor master to help stop the Glorious from setting sail in the name of a temporary inspection!"
Julie said to her brother and Alan.
"Sister Julie, you are so smart!"
Fei Lin flattered his cousin with a smile on his face, but was still rejected by his cousin.
"Stop talking nonsense and transform quickly. I don't want to run to the airport on my own two feet!" Julie urged her cousin impatiently.
Saving lives is like putting out a fire, and the brother and sister didn't care about the looks of passers-by on the road.
Directly activate the ancestral form and transform into a golden-winged griffin.
Julie was extremely anxious and flew into the sky first.
Feilin had no choice but to serve as Alan's mount.
It is forty miles from here to the airport outside the city.
Carrying Alan on his back, he flew all the way over...
Feilin had a premonition that he might get cramps from exhaustion again.
…
Griffin Island, Aviation Terminal.
The manager of the Amazing Circus, Ethan Winston, appears to be a handsome and elegant young gentleman.
He was wearing a high-end, custom-made suit and a neat bow tie.
Tucked into the pocket of his white shirt was a carefully folded decorative handkerchief.
Her long, smooth silver-gray hair fell over her shoulders, and she held an exquisitely crafted, gold-inlaid cane in her hand.
Led by Captain Ethan, the remaining eight members of the circus boarded the airship carrying suitcases and three wild beasts for the performance.
In another five minutes, the airship would take off, towed by the griffins, and fly to the island where the next performance was scheduled.
Such is the way of life in a traveling circus.
Just as the airship was about to start, an accident happened.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ethan, we may be delayed for half an hour."
The airship pilot said with an apologetic look on his face.
"Excuse me, is there any accident?"
Ethan inquired politely.
"We just received a notice from the Port Authority saying that for the sake of navigation safety, we need to conduct a temporary inspection of the airship."
The driver shrugged helplessly.
"Is this common?" Ethan asked softly.
"Frankly, it's not common in this season of sunny weather."
The driver told the truth.
"In fact, our airship had a routine inspection yesterday, and everything was normal."
"I just can't understand why there's a need to do this again."
"Of course! The masters of the Port Authority may be playing a trick on us to show their power!"
The driver became more and more unhappy and complained angrily.
"That can't be helped. It looks like we'll just have to wait."
Beside the leader, the animal trainer interjected casually.
This heavily made-up girl was also wearing a performance costume and a tight black leather jacket, which highlighted her exquisite figure.
A whip used to tame wild beasts was wrapped around her slender waist.
Captain Ethan turned his head and gave the trainer a cold look.
"I've warned you twice. I hate it when people interrupt me when I'm talking!"
"I'm not talking to you!" The animal trainer tilted his head with a defiant look on his face. "Is it not okay for me to talk to myself? You don't have to lose your temper over such a small incident!"
"Do you think this is a coincidence?" Ethan asked her coldly.
"Isn't it?" the young and energetic beast tamer girl asked back on the spot.
"Hehe... You are a newcomer, just came out of the secret realm, and you are seriously lacking in social experience. You don't know the dangers of the world."
"I can understand all of this."
"But you clearly don't know anything, yet you always act so self-righteous. Frankly speaking, this really annoys me."
"In fact, I have always had zero tolerance for troublemakers. You'd better not cross my bottom line."
After whispering a few warnings to the trainer, Ethan turned around and faced the airship pilot.
An elegant smile reappears on your face.
"Sir, I don't think you need to pay attention to the Aviation Administration's blind orders. How about taking off on time while the weather is still good?"
"I'm afraid that won't work—"
Before the driver finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened and his expression became dazed.
Ethan placed a hand gently on his shoulder.
At the tip of the index finger, something moving seemed to crawl out.
It slowly crawled along the driver's neck skin.
In a flash, it disappeared.
"You should consider the feelings of our passengers."
Ethan's words carried a hint of bewitching meaning.
"We are in a hurry, and we have already bought the boat tickets."
"As customers, we have reason to expect flights to be on time."
"You're right..." The pilot had been completely hypnotized by Ethan without realizing it. "Mr. Ethan, I'll start the airship now."
