Chapter 531: Getting into the Ring of Fire


    "But your hands are more powerful." Ma Lu said.


    "This is a zoo, not the Colosseum, so the power is useless." The black bear thought again, "Well, it''s not completely useless. When the female bear is in estrus, I can at least keep it alive. My own innocence.”


    Thinking of the previous scene, Ma Lu was also a little embarrassed, "Just now I thought it was your relative or friend."


    "Except for the king, my relatives and friends are all humans."


    "Okay, wait...you said that your relatives and friends are all human beings? That means one of your father or mother is human." Malu took a breath.


    "Both of them are humans." Black Bear explained, "The king is my friend and partner. We used to work together in a circus."


    "I understand, so does your universe also have circus performances?" Malu took another sip of Coke.


    "Brother, you and I are on the same plane. I have always been in this plane and have never left."


    "..."


    "Let me explain," Ma Lu said, "You are a native of this plane like me. Your parents and all your relatives are humans. You used to work in a circus and had a bear as your partner. So why are you a bear? Woolen cloth?"


    "I''m not a bear." Black Bear sighed, "At least I wasn''t a bear before. It was an accident. After I performed the performance that day, I gave the king a bath and said that I envied him. As long as he performs every day, he can You have food and drink, and you don’t have to worry about life at all.


    "Then I passed out and when I woke up I saw I was riding a unicycle."


    "What?"


    "To be precise, the king was riding a unicycle, but he was using my body, and I became what I am now. No, no, I hadn''t grown so big at that time. I was only about half a head tall now.


    "You and the king swapped bodies, like in "In Your Name"?"


    "Yes, but it''s the human-bear version, and there''s no love element."


    Black Bear also got himself a bottle of Coke, "This was quite scary at first, especially after I turned into a bear. Because my vocal cords were different, I couldn''t speak."


    "Everyone in the circus regarded me as the king, and I went to the troupe leader''s office for help. As soon as he saw me, he yelled loudly, called the animal trainer, whipped me, and killed me. Rush to the cage.


    "I didn''t want to use violence, so I had to go back to the cage and wait until I had the opportunity to explain to the people around me later. But when I went back, I found that the king was already sleeping in it."


    "Then those guys pulled the sleeping king out and drove me in.


    "The king was clearly deeply irritated by the sight of other bears sleeping in his cage.


    "It wandered outside the cage all night, yelling, and clawing at the iron bars with its nails. The poor guy, it didn''t realize that it had turned into a human at all. It scratched off its fingernails and was bleeding... "I can only wait until everyone leaves, then open the cage, and then we change places to sleep, but this is obviously not a long-term solution. By the second day, someone discovered something strange about the king, and by the third day God, the whole circus knew I was crazy.


    "There was a circus performance in the group that night. Because the king and I were not in the right state, the circus had canceled our show, but the king was probably attracted to the front stage by the applause and cheers.


    "Then it rushed out in front of everyone, used my body and bare buttocks to start crazily crawling into the fire circle, stealing the limelight from those monkeys.


    "By the way, it has never had a good relationship with the monkeys in the circus. Although the troupe leader calls this healthy competition, you know, it can''t see those monkeys being in the limelight.


    "After getting through the fire ring, he pedaled a unicycle twice, making music everywhere and asking for money. There must have been thousands of people watching the performance, and now I couldn''t suppress my madness anymore.


    "After that performance, the band leader sent him to a mental hospital. They wanted him to receive treatment there. I later heard that they gave the poor guy a lot of psychotropic drugs every day, and even... Use electrotherapy.


    "Force it to admit that it is a human, but the problem is that the king is just a bear. If it is fake, no matter how much chlorpromazine, fluoxetine, or alprazolam you feed it, it will not become a human. Poor guy, I heard he died in less than three months there.


    "They said it couldn''t stand the mental torture. They somehow removed the anti-theft net in the middle of the night and jumped from the fourth floor to its death. I later asked someone to go there to have a look and took some photos. Photos and guess what.


    "There''s a bike shed down there and he probably just wanted to ride his bike. It was so cruel and I still can''t forgive those quacks."


    The black bear put the Coke bottle on his mouth, crushed it with his paws, and finished the bottle of Coke in one breath.


    "But at that time, I couldn''t protect myself and had no time to care about others. It took me almost two months to convince the leader that I was a human being and had just swapped bodies with the king.


    “That **** comforted me and said he would find a way, but in fact he just wanted to make money from me. He arranged many programs for me, including multiplication speed calculations, puzzles, and even planned to let me play blackjack with the audience.


    "In short, he is ambitious to make me the smartest bear in the world - using this as a gimmick to attract the audience. I saw through his true face, but it was of no use. I have become a king."


    “And since then he has strictly prohibited other circus colleagues from approaching me to prevent others from discovering my identity.


    "I was very desperate, thinking that I would become the leader''s money-making machine, until one day an armadillo appeared in front of me. He called himself the city manager and told me that they had made a mistake. Let a very dangerous guy escape surveillance.


    "It is because of that guy that the king and I exchanged bodies. They have controlled that guy, but the king is dead, and the wishes we once made can no longer be unlocked."


    “It also said that it was derelict in its duty that something like this happened, and that it would compensate me for my losses as much as possible, although the compensation may not be worth mentioning compared to what I lost.


    "All in all, that guy gave me a large amount of compensation, including RMB and something called star coins, probably hundreds of thousands. I have no idea about that thing.


    "It also rescued me from the circus, consulted with me and gave me a new job at the zoo, where I''ve been playing bear ever since."
