2 The clown is me

"actually……"

Lin Yu was about to answer when her cell phone suddenly rang.

She hurriedly stepped aside, took out the black streamlined cell phone from her pocket, and pressed the answer button: "It's me."

Five seconds later, under Qin Che's gaze, some short hair on the cat girl's forehead suddenly stood up, and the hair was blown up as if she had failed to perm it.

Then what rang out in the room was a series of questions like gunfire:

"You want to replace me? Why?"

"Weight...what happened to me at 500 kilograms? It's within the normal range! You said I collapsed the stage last time? That's because the quality of the stage is too poor, okay, let alone there were two people on the stage besides me!"

"Flat...that is bulletproof steel plate, which cannot be disassembled! Just look good at the face. Is it that important to have a body shape?"

"I can't open business...what business is running? What lily? I don't understand..."

"Don't let your mother go!"

After cursing a swear word I learned from Qin Che, Lin Yu threw his phone on the bed angrily, turned around and looked at Qin Che with his red eyes, and scratched his head a little apologetically:

"I'm so excited."

"It's okay." Qin Che picked up his phone and handed it to her, and asked casually: "What's going on? Something went wrong at work?"

"The performance next week was originally scheduled to be in the C position. The company suddenly said that it would replace me so that the newcomers they are promoting recently will be on the stage."

Lin Yu sat on the ground in frustration and hugged Qin Che's half-assembled maid robot in his arms: "Why? I've obviously prepared for a long time!"

"Calm down." Qin Che patted her shoulder.

Lin Yu is affiliated with a company called "Sanctuary Entertainment" and is a midstream enterprise in the entertainment industry of Steel City.

She has always been unable to do well in the company. This time she finally got the opportunity to star, but was taken away by others. It is inevitable that she would get angry.

Looking at the cat girl who was still angry, Qin Che asked curiously: "You weigh 500 kilograms?"

"Not now, I removed the steel plate." Lin Yu nodded: "What's wrong?"

"Why don't you remove the steel plate on the stage? It should be much lighter." Qin Che asked.

"You don't understand. The little girls in the company always say that they want to pet cats. If I don't install steel plates, they will have to touch them all. It's very annoying, right?" Lin Yu sighed.

"Ah this."

Imagine the cat girl covered in armor dancing on stage, Qin Che made an opinion: "Compared with ordinary performances, I think you should participate in the unlimited wrestling competition in the desert outside the city."

"Stop kidding, you want to fight, right?" Lin Yu stared at him angrily, his eyes lit up with a real red and fierce light, and a wisp of white smoke came out of the exhaust port on the back of his neck.

Seeing that the cat girl was entering the murder mode, Qin Che opened the refrigerator, took out a can of liquid nitrogen milk tea and threw it into her hand: "It's my apology."

After drinking milk tea, Lin Yu finally calmed down. She whispered: "Thank you..."

Qin Che brought the topic of going off the wrong way back to the right track:

"Who framed us?"

...

Salted fish are not formed naturally and must be pickled.

When Qin Che first came, he was not like this today.

Until now, he still remembers the scene when he traveled through time ten years ago:

——That night, I played "Cyberpunk 2077 Director Editing Edition" all night long, and was almost cerebral hemorrhage by the endless bugs. It was not until dawn that I finally fell in front of the computer and fell asleep in a drowsy manner.

When he opened his eyes again and found himself appearing in a desert and becoming a child, he was still a little curious.

When he found that there seemed to be a circular engine hidden in his chest, his mood changed from curiosity to confusion.

And when a cloud of mushrooms rose in the distance, his state changed from confusion to fear.

Although I don’t know why I came here, this is a damn wasteland world, and I have become a cyborg.

Looking at the many corpses lying on the sand, Qin Che tried to move his weak limbs and finally stood up.

He found three breathing children from the bloody battlefield and dragged them into the ruins of a nearby building.

Qin Che had three companions, one man and two woman.

The four people are about thirteen or fourteen years old. They have implanted combat equipment in their bodies.

They found water sources and some military canned food in the building, temporarily solving the food problem.

In order to survive this cruel world, under the leadership of Qin Che, four young soldiers began to collect various equipment and materials on the battlefield.

Then, they spent five years assembling a deformable heavy truck with discarded parts from the desert.

——It is not used to kill people, but to perform.

Soon, the circus of the City of Steel began to become famous.

The main performance of the circus is to fight against various radiation mutant monsters caught in the desert.

For the thugs living in the City of Steel, this kind of flesh-and-blooded scene can stimulate their nerves the most.

Under Qin Che's leadership, the circus drove a truck to conduct a large-scale tour in the City of Steel. While its popularity increased, it also gained a lot of money.

Just when Qin Che was about to expand the scale of the circus and planned to reach the peak of the entertainment industry in the City of Steel, an accident happened.

At the curtain call of the last performance, Qin Che, who was dressed up as a clown, pressed the red button of the remote control as usual to present fireworks to the excited audience.

A huge fireball rose in front of his eyes.

Seeing the audience happily being sent to the west by two missiles, Qin Che was stunned for a while and finally realized and drove away from the crime scene.

Since that day, the circus in the City of Steel has never appeared again.

But to this day, their photos are still posted on the streets and alleys:

Four children wearing heavy makeup smiled happily at the camera, and the red text below recorded their glorious deeds:

City of Steel Circus:

Bounty: One million yuan (per person).

Starting from 2077, four young soldiers wandering in the desert outside the city.

They have received weaponized transformations with unknown sources and are extremely dangerous. They have toured the city under the name of a circus.

During the performance on May 3, 2082, missiles were fired at the audience, killing 120 people on the spot and injuring 337 people.

...

At that time, four young soldiers finally escaped from the pursuit of the guards of the City of Steel, so the truck could not be saved.

What disappeared with the car was their originally indestructible friendship.

They knew they must have been framed, but they could not determine who was the insider.

The four of them fell into suspicion and parted ways soon.

Fortunately, because they were still young at that time, they always wore heavy makeup when they appeared on the stage, and they had never mentioned their real name in front of the audience. Qin Che did not reveal his identity later and successfully entered the city of Steel and lived in seclusion.

The money earned by the circus before was divided equally by four people. The money Qin Che received was enough to live a lifelong life in the City of Steel with a medium-sized living standard.

So, his life in salted fish began.

Now, Lin Yu, one of the four-person circus groups, was in charge of driving and managing income in the troupe, trying to get him back up after he had been resting for five years.

"If I say it, you can be my agent, can you?" Lin Yu puffed up his cheeks: "I just don't want to see you get decadent anymore."

"I'll think about it." Qin Che said.

Looking at his serious appearance, Lin Yu also felt a little moved.

Although she was no longer young, at this moment, she seemed to see the young man standing on the circus stage five years ago.

Lin Yu decided to believe him again:

"It's someone from the 'Star Entertainment Company' invested by Kanoya." She said softly.

"Kinoya? The one who runs a hotel?"

Qin Che, who was planning to order the Kinojia Rocket Propulsion Roast Beef Rice Takeaway, stopped his finger directly above the screen of the mobile phone. After pausing, he immediately switched to the page of the Shark County Hotel next door.

"Well, it's done by the people who are entertained by the stars." Lin Yu nodded.

"How did you know?" Qin Che looked at her suspiciously.

"A recent show I worked with the leading stars of the Star Entertainment Company." Lin Yu explained: "After the show ended, the celebration banquet was held. The man drank too much, and he said it in person..."

"Then he might be verbally." Qin Che whispered.

Although I really want to take revenge, it is too much for me to determine the identity of the framer based on this evidence alone.

"Come on, let's have a meal first." Lin Yu pushed the fried fish in front of Qin Che.

"I have finished ordering the dishes at the Shark County Hotel." Qin Che shook his cell phone.

After lunch, Qin Che began to query the information of Qunxing Entertainment Company.

Five years ago, the company did organize an idol boy group touring the city at the same time when the circus was in trouble.

Since the members of that idol group were useless except for being good-looking, the project soon turned yellow and basically died with the circus.

In this way, Star Entertainment does have a motivation to get rid of the circus.

After all, the popularity of the City of Steel was very high at that time, and there was almost no rival in live performances. It was the biggest competitor of the idol project of the star entertainment.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Yu stretched out his claws and fiddled with the light green fish head on the plate.

Looking at the personal profile of the five-person entertainment idol group back then, Qin Che smiled and said, "I'll go and ask them."

...

At midnight, a male idol who had already retired, who had been affiliated with "Star Entertainment" encountered an uninvited guest visiting his home in a slum.

A man with clown makeup, carrying a hammer, pliers, screwdriver, egg beater and bottle opener, had a brief and intense friendly exchange with the original idol.
