Dark Night Circus

Lin Youan, a corporate lawyer, stayed up late to revise the last settlement agreement and traveled through time. When he woke up, he was Loren Vick. Identity: The thirteenth manager of the Dark Night Circus. Assets: A dilapidated tent, three unpaid actors, and an abnormal ledger. Debt: A devil's contract that cannot be broken. The first tour metric released by the ledger is: Within seven days, collect fifty liters of the blood of the innocent. Failure penalty: Manager loses his shadow. Successive managers have mostly chosen the simplest approach. Bloodletting, sacrifice, sacrificial actors. Loren read the contract and raised objections: "The innocent are undefined." "The collection method is not limited." "The blood source is not required to be caused by the administrator." "Please ask the creditor to provide additional explanation, otherwise we reserve all rights of defense." The ledger is silent. The devil is silent. The circus performers were also silent. Since then, the Dark Night Circus has a new management rule: Don't treat innocent people as material. Don't treat employees as consumables. Don't take the small words written by the devil as a fate that cannot be countered. And Loren soon discovered that this circus was not just a harvesting tool for the devil. It is also a knife. A knife that has been held, broken, and hidden deep in contracts by successive generations of managers, waiting for those who come after to hold it again.
