Chapter 355 Chaos Was Her Best Refuge
So, while Calista was being followed, the once dazzling amusement park suddenly plunged into complete darkness. The surrounding people let out gasps of surprise and confusion. In just the blink of an eye, Calista had vanished from the sight of Quintus and the others.
Boom!
A breathtakingly beautiful firework exploded in the sky, causing many to stop and gaze upward in awe. Amidst the dazzling display, Kallum suddenly grew anxious.
“You lost her?”
“Yes,” came the reply. “In the blink of an eye, we were plunged into darkness. Before our eyes could adjust, Ms. Stafford had disappeared. We are in the midst of searching for her.”
Kallum slightly furrowed his brows, now understanding the meaning behind the mysterious smile Calista had gave him before she left. She must have foreseen this situation earlier.
“One person stays at the entrance while the others continue the search. Report any updates to me immediately.”
“Understood.”
After ending the call, Kallum felt an inexplicable sense of relief. It seemed that moving forward, he could only rely on his intuition to find her.
After the fireworks ceased, the amusement park was once again brightly lit. Kallum glanced at his watch; it had just passed ten o’clock, meaning he still had two hours left to find her.
He headed deeper into the amusement park, determined.
Suddenly, a person dressed as a rabbit approached him, pockets filled with all sorts of candies. “Do you want to buy some candy?” the rabbit asked.
The sound of Kallum’s phone ringing echoed, and he shook his head, dismissing the rabbit mascot who then hobbled away.
Kallum watched the retreating figure, deep in thought. Calista had said she wouldn’t hide but would wait for him in a place impossible to miss.
He had his eyes fixed on the rabbit for quite some time before he finally shifted his gaze. After a while, at soft gasp caught his attention. He walked over to see a person dressed as a magician, wearing a mask, and suddenly spewing fire from their hands. Many children watched from the side, their eyes wide with awe and surprise. Their continuous exclamations made this one of the liveliest spots in the amusement park.
Kallum’s gaze lingered on the magician for a long while, finally settling on a scar revealed when the magician rolled up his sleeves. It appeared to be an old burn mark.
There were so many oddly dressed people in the amusement park, it made Kallum wonder. If Calista were to disguise herself, what persona pould she choose to adopt?
The magic show continued, but Kallum didn’t linger for long. He kept moving, navigating through the circular layout of the amusement park. He was certain he would find the person who sparked the strongest

Up ahead, there were acrobatics being performed. A few girls, who appeared quite young, moved as if they were boneless, their stunts eliciting gasps of surprise from the crowd. Suddenly, Kallum understood why Calista had asked him to meet her here. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
She wanted him to see a group of people completely different from anyone he had encountered before.
These were individuals who seemed to have been forsaken by fate from the moment they were born. They toiled relentlessly, sweating profusely, to earn their meager income. Onlookers often laughed, but those performing usually remained expressionless, leading most of them to don masks.
This realization made him somewhat uncomfortable. In his eyes, his Callie, being such a beautiful and kind girl, shouldn’t have had any involvement with these people.
Calista was kind–hearted. Even when her temperament drastically changed, she held on to her inherent goodness. This was no easy feat. As Wilbur had said, when people face great adversity, they might lose. their minds. Considering that she only became indifferent, she was a miracle in herself. She didn’t go mad. perhaps because her nature was pure. No matter how tainted the world became, it couldn’t darken her.
At that moment, Kallum spotted a clown, an incredibly exquisite clown. Even with just a glimpse of her profile, despite her skin being painted a ghostly white and her face adorned with exaggerated colors, these hues oddly enhanced her allure. She exuded an indescribable charm.
Many people would glance back at her as they passed by. She was holding a large bunch of balloons, distributing them one by one to the pedestrians.
“Callie!” Kallum called out.
The clown turned her head, facing him directly. Her eyes, brilliant as stars, seemed to carry a hint of
amusement.
Just as Kallum joyfully weaved his way through the crowd to reach her, a sudtlen gasp echoed around them. The amusement park was once again plunged into darkness. By the time Kallum regained his senses, all he saw were countless balloons soaring toward the sky, illuminated by the exploding fireworks. However, he could no longer find her amidst the spectacle.
“Callie?” Kallum called out again, his impatience growing. He had finally realized that ever since Calista had brought him to the old town district, her mood had been somewhat off. This unsettling realization had gradually made him anxious. All he wanted was to find her quickly.
The fireworks in the sky continued to burst in magnificent colors. Around Kallum, countless families gathered together, looking up in awe and reflecting on the past year. Yet, he stood alone, racing his mind as he searched the amusement park for a certain individual.
Why did she dress up as a clown? She suddenly wanted to play a game. What was she intending?
Calista’s familiarity with the old town district was proof that she had lived here in her previous life. Perhaps she was hiding from someone, and the chaotic nature of the old town district served as her best refuge.
The reason she didn’t flee to another city may have been because there were still things in Horington that she held dear.
If the one seeking to drive her to her death was powerful and influential, she had no choice but to adopt a fake identity to avoid being found. However, such an identity wouldn’t pass any job market verification. She was like an undocumented individual without an identity, forced to take on informal jobs and earn a
