"What exactly do you want to do?"

Under the empty eyes of everyone, Amanda took a deep breath.

He bit his lip and turned his head to look at Spike who seemed to be indifferent beside him, and he couldn't help but lower his voice and asked in a low voice.

"To determine a guess."

Faced with Amanda's questioning, the smile on Spike's face remained unchanged. He looked at Jamie on the stage with his slightly drooping eyes, and then replied to Amanda with a smile.

"If you want to catch a big enough fish, you can't be stingy with the bait in your hands."

Amanda: "So, I'm the bait in your mouth?"

Spike: "To be precise, it's the two of us."

Amanda: "It's not fishing, Spike, we all could die because of it."

Compared to Spike's calm attitude, Amanda obviously could not do this.

"Of course I know this."

"But, so I need some evidence to prove the speculation. Believe me, I don't have the intention to sacrifice now. After all, there are more important things waiting for me to do."

Looking up, looking at Spike's blue eyes, Amanda felt a bit of firmness from his eyes.

Seeing this, Amanda's eyes flashed slightly before gritting her teeth.

"I only believe you this time, Spike."

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed."

Amanda's words are more of a expression of trust than a warning.

Turning his head and sweeping over the people around him with empty eyes, Spike raised his eyebrows and replied.

"Be prepared to shoot at any time."

Looking at the backs of Amanda and Spike, Agent Zhou took out his pistol and reminded Agent Phil next to him with a blank expression.

He had a premonition, the result of the next action of the two.

Whether successful or not, the banquet will no longer be as "safe" as it is now.

Hearing Agent Zhou’s reminder, the expression on Agent Phil’s face immediately became a little serious.

...

"Since there are new guests joining the banquet game..."

Turning his stiff neck and making a creaking sound, Jamie looked at Amanda and Spike on stage, opening her mouth and making a welcome look.

However, the expression on the face did not change at all, and it was still empty and without any vitality.

The clockwork behind Jamie began to spin, and he moved his footsteps, lifted his stiff arms and selected several participants of the ‘game’ from the crowd at the banquet.

"It's an agent from the FBI!"

Among these participants, Amanda recognized one of them, the missing FBI agent.

These missing persons who participated in the "game" stood firmly in their respective positions under the arrangement of Jamie.

As his eyes swept over the participants, Jamie's head suddenly rotated to a 180-degree position, looked at Amanda behind him, opened his mouth and asked, "So, guest, what role do you choose?"

"Role?"

Shocked by Jamie's terrifying look that suddenly turned her head, Amanda subconsciously moved her eyes away from looking at the other party's terrifying look.

"In fact, we don't know much about the content of the 'game'. I know if you can demonstrate it first."

Faced with James' inquiry, Spike looked at the 180-degree spinning head with a calm look on his face, and gave a reason with a smile.

“…”

He turned the wooden eyeballs in his eye sockets and looked at Spike's blue eyes for a few seconds with the dark hole that represents the pupils.

Then James turned his stiff neck little by little and agreed to Spike's request.

"Okay, let's demonstrate to the guests the way to play the 'game'."

As James finished speaking, the missing people on the stage raised their palms and began to slap their hands in a stiff movement.

“Jack and Jill

Went up the hill

To fetch a pail of water

Jack fell down

And broke his crown

And Jill came tumbling after…”

At the same time, in conjunction with the clapping movements, the people on the stage began to open their mouths and began to sing a nursery rhyme song in a monotonous and without any ups and downs.

“And Jill came tumbling after…”

Listening to the expressionless nursery rhymes of the few people on the stage, Agent Phil off the stage hummed a few words unconsciously.

"This is?"

“Jack and Jill Went Up the Hill?”

After singing, he realized it and recited the name of the nursery rhyme song under the surprised gaze of agent Zhou next to him.

"Have you never heard of this nursery rhyme?"

"Why, is she very famous?"

Faced with Agent Phil's replies, Agent Zhou said expressionlessly.

"It's not just famous, it's just a household name."

Although Jack and Jill have become the general reference for boys and girls in English after continuous evolution and development.

But if we follow the original meaning, the song is actually the lyrics that the 18th century king Louis XVI and his queen Mary were sent to the guillotine during the French Revolution, so the lyrics of "Jack slipped and fell to his crown (head), and Jill also rolled down the mountain" appeared in the nursery rhyme.

The meaning behind the nursery rhyme songs may not be the focus of Agent Phil and others at the moment.

However, when I saw the people gathered on the stage, the "game" they were playing was just singing nursery rhymes.

Not to mention Agent Phil, even Amanda, who had already stepped on the stage and was determined to try her own life, had a subconscious expression of surprise on his face.

On the stage, the sound of songs continued to ring, and the rigid movements of the missing person also seemed strange and inexplicable.

However, watching the FBI agent clapping his hands and singing nursery rhymes.

Amanda always feels an inexplicable sense of funnyness.

"Jack fell down and broke his crown..."

However, before Amanda's expression could completely relax.

As the nursery rhyme songs continue to repeat, when they are sung again.

Suddenly, the Clockwork behind a missing person clapping his hands and singing nursery rhymes paused, and the rhythm on his hands paused a little. The next second, he fell on the stage without warning, and at the same time, his head on his neck also fell, rolling and stopped at Amanda's feet.

Looking down at the head that was rolling down at his feet, Amanda looked at the head that even though he had lost his body, he was still opening his mouth and singing a nursery rhyme.

He looked up at the position of the other person's body. There was no sign of blood coming out at the joint of his neck. There was only a clear trace of the wood breaking. It was obvious that the missing person, like Jamie, had completely transformed into a puppet.

However, this strange scene without any blood flowing brings Amanda a greater feeling than any murder scene.
