Chapter 598: If You Don't Agree, Die

'That was so scary! I was still packing my things to prepare to run away. Then, I suddenly was pulled into the circus while I was halfway done.'

Therefore, even though he would be able to meet the talents that he was looking forward to meeting, Su Yang was not too happy.

However, the circus did not know what Su Yang was thinking. Instead, it created a path of light beneath Su Yang's feet and extended all the way into the circus.

Su Yang looked left and right. He wanted to escape the path of light but realized that he could not move at all.

Therefore, he did not try anything funny and walked into the circus.

Arriving at the circus, there was no change inside the circus. It was still a row of seats that surrounded a circular stage.

However, unlike before, Su Yang did not appear in the audience after entering the circus. Instead, he appeared on stage.

Su Yang was startled. 'What's going on? I'm an actor now? Don't tell me I'm going to fight with someone else?'

Just as Su Yang was shocked, a piece of information appeared in his mind. Su Yang closed his eyes and absorbed the information. He roughly understood what had happened.

'It turns out that the [Guest Mode] isn't as simple as I thought. Even though it could attract the souls of the people around it to the circus, there is a certain threshold. Its victims have to be within a one-kilometer radius. Also, they've got to be people with an intense desire to live moments after they have just died before they can become guests.

'After they become guests of the circus, they wouldn't become actors of the circus directly. Instead, I will need to convince them into joining the [Burning Reincarnation Circus] of their own will.

'Only after these two conditions are completed would they officially join the circus.

'Also, because they're guests, the circus will not produce parallel dimensions of themselves like Wang Shan.

'So I'm going to need to convince them and gain their trust before they're able to join the circus?'

Su Yang shook his head.

'This doesn't really seem like my style of doing things.

'They're already dead, but I'm here to give them a second chance at life! I'm the one who's bringing benefits to them! Yet, why am I the one who has to coax them?

'If they're willing to stay, then so be it. If they're unwilling, fine. After all, countless people die every year, so there is an abundance of talents.

'I'm looking for talented people that I can use, not my parents...'

With that thought in mind, Su Yang had mostly come to a conclusion.

Just as Su Yang was done with his thoughts, the first row of the circus lit up. There were nine people sitting in the first row, looking at the stage and Su Yang.

Perhaps they did not expect that they would suddenly appear here, nor did they expect that there would be someone beside them. Hence, after looking at Su Yang, they shifted their gazes to the people beside them and sized them up.

While they were sizing each other up, Su Yang was also doing the same to all of them. Among the nine people, there were six middle-aged men, two young men and one old man. Only men were present at the time.

Su Yang could not understand this ratio.

'They're all male?

'Could it be that a man's desire to live is stronger?

'Then, why are there so many middle-aged people, but so few young and elderly men?'

Su Yang pondered.

After a while, he made a rough guess. 'Perhaps young men have no idea how scary death is, plus they haven't got too many attachments to the living yet, so their desire to live isn't as strong.

On the other hand, the elderly men are the exact opposite. Because they've already experienced too much, they might have already been satisfied with their life and have moved on.

Hence, there's only the middle-aged men left. These people have just passed a third of his life, or perhaps half of it, so they know how precious life is and how horrible death is. Plus, they've got a heavy burden on them. They'd have their wife, children and parents. Therefore, they wouldn't even dare to die...'

His analysis made him feel sour all of a sudden.

After sizing up these people, Su Yang clapped his hands and attracted the attention of a few people below the stage. He activated his [Verbal Cannon] and his [Speaking Charms] as he spoke in his magnetic voice, "Welcome to the [Burning Reincarnation Circus]. I am the master of the circus, Su Yang."

Su Yang was not a public figure yet, so not many people knew about him. Hence, no one recognized him.

However, their sudden appearance in the circus had confused the people below. Hence, they asked one after another.

"Are we dead?"

"What is this [Burning Reincarnation Circus]?"

"What do you want us to do?"

Su Yang lowered his hand and waited for them to quiet down before saying, "I know you have many questions in your mind, but I can't answer them all. So, I'll only tell you the most important information."

"One, you are indeed dead, but I can give you a second life."

"Two, as long as you join the [Burning Reincarnation Circus] and follow my orders, you will be able to continue living in another way. If you're lucky, you can even be revived.

"It's that simple."

The moment Su Yang said that, the crowd started chattering again. Obviously, Su Yang's words were too shocking.

However, there were originally too many people already, so he could not hear what anyone was saying.

Su Yang facepalmed himself. 'This batch of students are really difficult to teach... Can't you just raise your hands and ask your questions one by one?

'Who am I supposed to listen to!

'You people are the worst students I've every taught.'

Therefore, he did not bother to maintain order. He stood there and listened to the people below express their opinions and questions. Then... Everything they said instantly fell on deaf ears.

The nine people talked for more than 20 seconds. Perhaps they sensed that Su Yang did not want to answer their questions, so they slowly stopped.

At that moment, one of the young men stood up and asked, "So... you're the so-called Master God? We're the chosen Reincarnates? Then why aren't you a big ball of light? What can you give us?"

Su Yang was speechless.

'Has this child been reading too many novels?

'Did he think he's the main character?'

Su Yang wagged his finger. "No. You're not the chosen ones, nor am I the Master God. I just need some people to work for me, so you have all been chosen. If you work hard for me, I can grant you a second life."

The young man questioned, "Why should we believe you?"

Su Yang shrugged and retorted mercilessly, "You can choose not to believe me."

The young man looked at Su Yang suspiciously. After a while, he said, "I suspect that you're up to something."

Su Yang's patience was running out, so he decided that he might as well deactivate [Verbal Cannon]. 'There's no way I'm able to trick people when it comes to a matter of life and death.'

He shook his head and said bluntly, "No, there's no conspiracy. Let me make this simple. If you want to stay here, you have to be my servant. You will have no salary, no benefits, or any conditions. Also, you will have to obey my orders."

"Is this straightforward enough? Are you still going to suspect some conspiracy is at play here?"

Once he said that, there was an uproar. Everyone questioned and doubted him.

Su Yang casually observed the situation below. He realized that even though it was very noisy down there, there were two people who did not speak much from the start. They were listening to everyone's comments and observing the situation.

One of them was a middle-aged man, while the other was the only old man.

After a while, Su Yang saw that they were gradually calming down and said, "Those are my conditions. If you have any objections, feel free to leave this place. I won't stop you. However, once you leave, you might face the danger of your soul dissipating."

The people below looked at each other, stunned.

After a full minute, it was still the young man from before.

He gritted his teeth, stomped his feet and said to the other people present, "That person on the stage is definitely bluffing us. Could it be possible that a person's soul will dissipate after death, while only he can preserve a person's soul? I refuse to believe it!"

"Since he can preserve our souls, that means that there are supernatural powers in this world!"

"Then after death, there must be the Yellow Springs and the Underworld. We were only captured by him."

"Let's not be fooled by him!"

With that, the young man stood up without hesitation and prepared to leave.

Su Yang did not stop them. Instead, he waved his hand and the circus door opened, revealing a path of light.

The young man looked at Su Yang hesitantly. However, he still felt that Su Yang was bluffing, so he left the circus in the end.

When he was out of the circus, the circus door closed and the path of light disappeared. He fell into darkness once again.

Without the protection of the lights from the circus, his body started to disperse again. Countless light particles left his body and drifted into the darkness. His body became dimmer and weaker.

The young man was frightened with a great sense of fear suddenly descending upon him, so he quickly turned around to enter the circus!

However, the circus's door was already closed, so he could not enter no matter how hard he tried.

So, he yelled, "Let me in! Let me in! Hurry up! I was wrong! I won't do it again!" The fear of his life actually disappearing had made him go crazy.

But... It's too late.

It was just a curtain that was separating the two worlds. Without the protection of the circus, his body slowly turned into light particles and disappeared into the void. He remained banging on the circus tent as he completely turned into a pile of light particles before disappearing from this world.

When the people in the circus saw what happened, they were terrified and no longer doubted Su Yang's words.

Su Yang shrugged. 'See? That's how bad people are.

'If you talk nicely to them and appease them, they become skeptical and come up with numerous conspiracy theories.

'If you give them the whip directly, they instantly become obedient.

'So... Only with power would there be grace. If there is only grace, we would be treated as a pushover.'

With that thought in mind, Su Yang said, "If you're willing to accept me as your master, then you can sign this contract. Otherwise, you're welcomed to leave."

Su Yang waved his hand and eight contracts were placed before the eight of them.

The middle-aged man that Su Yang had been paying attention to earlier was the first to pick up his pen and sign the contract without any hesitation. The old man also picked up his pen slowly and signed the contract.

As the two signed the contract, the pen and contract in their hands spontaneously combusted into ashes.

When the other six saw them signing, they hesitated for a long time before finally writing down their names.

After everyone signed their names, Su Yang said, "Now, all of you can tell me together, 'I'm willing to join your company.'"

The eight people who had been reduced to circus performers could not resist. They said in unison, "I'm willing to join your company."

Su Yang nodded.

Now that I have these eight people, I'll be able to look through their resumes and pick out useful talents when I return. My mission for this trip has been accomplished.'

Once everything was settled, Su Yang checked the circus's notebook. After confirming that the eight of them had entered the [List Of Actors], he left the circus.

Darkness descended once more. When Su Yang regained his senses, he was in the living room of the castle.

Su Yang blinked. 'Huh? Why am I in the living room of the castle?

'Wasn't I in Mei Yue's room?'

Just as he was thinking that, an interface appeared before him.
