10. The murderer

In Zhuo Mingyu's description, after he paid for two large ice creams with the clerk in front of the ice cream truck, he quickly turned around to look at his daughter, and suddenly saw a huge clown standing beside his daughter.

Said to be a clown, in fact, it is a guy in a red clown costume.

It may be the staff in the amusement park, after all, it is a place like an amusement park, and there will indeed be a lot of people dressed up in all kinds of strange colors, such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Little Witch, Bunny Girl, and even dressed as Superman, Ultraman, Spider-Man, Transformers, such and such costumes can be called colorful and colorful.

Some people will also hold a large bundle of balloons in their hands, or carry a bunch of trinkets and candies to sell, and children attracted by the colorful colors will come forward and circle around these exaggerated staff.

However, the clown standing next to Zhuo Qianqian, Zhuo Mingyu had an uncomfortable feeling when he saw him for the first time.

Maybe it's because the clown costume on the other party is a little dirty.

The clown costume is the kind of clothes that are half red and one blue is very fancy clothes, and it is a one-piece suit, with complex fluffy lace folds at the cuffs, neckline and ankles, and a lot of red balls hanging from the collar of the clothes.

Clowns wearing this kind of clothing will paint more exaggerated makeup on their faces, eyes bent into the shape of crescents, red and white eyeliner, big red noses, big red lips, lips seem to be cracked, and smile into a very exaggerated and ridiculous shape, and red or blue teardrops are painted on the left and right cheeks, indicating the strange meaning of the clown laughing and crying.

Clowns also wear colorful wigs that look like exploding heads, and a clown hat with two red pompoms hanging from them. They stand on the stage and make all kinds of funny poses, they are harlequin characters in opera, and most of them are also characters who do burlesque performances in acrobatics, and often appear in circuses.

But in this day and age, clowns are no longer amusing beings.

I don't know when it began, many people, and even many children, think that the clown's shape does not look ridiculous at all, on the contrary, it will give people a terrifying illusion, which causes the clown to slowly withdraw from the stage of joy, and they have gradually become a symbol of fear in people's minds, and some people write the fear of clowns as clown phobia.

Zhuo Mingyu wasn't sure if the reason why he felt uncomfortable when he saw that clown appear next to Zhuo Qianqian was because of the so-called "clown phobia", or because there was really something wrong with the clown?

But the guy dressed as a clown looked really bad, not to mention his exaggerated appearance, just his clothes, it seemed to be stained with large dark red marks, I don't know if it was paint, or what kind of paint left.

However, since the clown costume is already very fancy, there are many stars and moon patterns on it. Because of the fancy, those dark red traces don't look very obvious on the clown's suit, at least no one around them threw strange glances at the clown.

But Zhuo Mingyu still felt that something was wrong, he was actually in a hurry, he took two double balls of ice cream and wanted to squeeze out of the crowd and return to his daughter's side, he raised the ice cream high to prevent them from falling to the ground, and maintained this ridiculous action and squeezed through the crowd with difficulty.

Zhuo Mingyu didn't even understand why there were so many people in this amusement park, it was as if everyone was deliberately hindering him and preventing him from returning to his daughter.

But fortunately, he managed to squeeze out of the crowd in time and rushed to his daughter's side, and when he arrived, he saw that the strange clown gave birth to a hand to Zhuo Qianqian, and the clown also wore a pair of dark red gloves on his hands, and seemed to hand something to Zhuo Qianqian.

Zhuo Qianqian was young and didn't have much defense, and the clown gave her something, and she reached out and went straight to pick it up. Although Zhuo Mingyu and Wen Shan had told her over and over again not to talk to strangers and not to take strangers' things, in fact, these advice were not of much use, children did not remember, and were full of curiosity, in their young hearts, the world was colorful and colorful, as if there was never any danger.

They are vulnerable, naΓ―ve and confused, and the only ones who can really protect them are their parents.

Zhuo Mingyu rushed to his daughter's side, the clown seemed to have a premonition, after giving the things to Zhuo Qianqian, he left without saying a word, he disappeared quickly, and suddenly blended into the lively crowd, mixed with the staff dressed in various exaggerated shapes, and disappeared.

Afterwards, Zhuo Mingyu took the thing that the clown handed to Zhuo Qianqian and took a look, and found that it was actually a hairpin, the kind of bow-shaped hairpin given to the child, with blue dots on it, which didn't seem to be unusual.

Zhuo Qianqian seems to like this hairpin quite a bit, and asks Zhuo Mingyu to clip it on her head.

Zhuo Mingyu was a little unhappy, he actually wanted to throw away this thing, although it didn't seem to be anything unusual on the surface, but when he thought of the strange clown just now, Zhuo Mingyu felt that this hairpin began to make him uncomfortable.

Who's going to give a hairpin to a kid on the side of the road for some reason?

Zhuo Qianqian said: "That uncle is delivering gifts, today the amusement park is doing activities, those uncles are holding bags of gifts, they will give one when they see children, and it is said that there is a circus parade in the street at night, but it is interesting, can we stay until night?"

Hearing Zhuo Qianqian say this, Zhuo Mingyu looked around carefully and found that those exaggerated staff were indeed delivering gifts as Zhuo Qianqian said, some were balloons, some were some small accessories, mobile phone pendants, mini toys and the like.

Zhuo Mingyu put his mind at ease, feeling that he would feel uncomfortable when he saw that clown just now, probably an illusion, he was too worried.

After that, they did stay in the amusement park until the evening, and at night there were bands, dance teams, circuses, floats, and β–‘β–‘, and all kinds of people dressed in colorful clothes lined up in long lines, dancing and following the floats through the streets, and also setting off fireworks and firecrackers, and the band played a few passionate and joyful songs in a loop, and the whole scene was very lively, crowded with people, crowded, but it was really very fun and lively.

The butterfly hairpin given by the clown was also worn on Zhuo Qianxi's head.

That day was obviously very happy, but it seemed to have changed.

"Is the clown the only thing that made you feel strange that day?" He Qianjue was silent and listened to Zhuo Mingyu's narration, he couldn't help but touch his chin and began to think about something.

Zhuo Mingyu confirmed: "Only this ...... Since then, I haven't let my daughter leave my side again, I have been holding her hand firmly, there are so many people that I don't dare to let go. ”

He Qianjue bowed his head and said: "It's really a bit strange, I can see that you are a very keen person, especially in the perception of spiritual power, which proves that you have a certain amount of spiritual ability, so people who will make you feel uncomfortable, there must really be some problems." ”

Zhuo Mingyu didn't understand what he meant, frowned and asked, "Spiritual power?"

He Qianjue explained simply: "As long as it is a living being, there is zΓ i spiritual power in the body, and you can also understand it as the energy of the soul. ”

Saying that, He Qianjue paused for a moment and continued: "There is a difference in spiritual power, to put it bluntly, it is to divide yin and yang, the living are generally full of yang energy, and only the dead will exude strong yin energy. Ordinary people can't perceive this kind of yin and yang qi, but because your spiritual energy perception is very strong than ordinary people, the yin qi has a greater impact on you, and the reason why you feel uncomfortable may be because...... The yin energy on that clown has affected you. ”

When He Qianjue said this, Zhuo Mingyu was immediately shocked: "What do you mean......? He...... Is it a dead man?"

"There is such a possibility. He Qianjue said, "But I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't tell the difference, I can only roughly guess that clown, one, may be a living corpse or zombie, two, it may be a monster or demon cultivator who specializes in inhaling yin qi, and third, it may be an ordinary person who has killed many people." ”

"An ordinary person who killed a lot of people?" Zhuo Mingyu became more and more frightened.

"Murderers will be contaminated with the yin qi of the deceased, especially the kind of killing methods that are particularly cruel, such as dismemberment. He Qianjue said, "The more people you kill, the more yin qi you have, and the strong yin qi is easy to attract some demons and monsters, and it won't end well if you are targeted by ghosts, so ...... It is not without reason that the more sinful some people are, the more miserable their end will be. ”

He Qianjue said: "Although I have a lot of speculation about the identity of the clown you met that day, but now I can be sure that the clown is an ordinary person who has killed a lot of people, so his body will be contaminated with a lot of yin qi, and the hairpin he gave to his daughter that day may be the relic of a victim he killed, because the little demon of the shadow ghost was born on the corpse of a dead corpse, and they are a combination of death and resentment." ”

"Why can't it be a zombie?" Zhuo Mingyu asked, "Since the shadow ghost is a youkai born from a corpse, then zombies should be okay too, right?"

He Qianjue said: "Zombies or living corpses are also a kind of monsters, monsters are such things, they don't condone the same kind of parasitism on themselves, so if the clown of that day was a zombie or something, there would be no shadow ghosts." ”

"I see, that'...... So, that clown that day was a murderer!" Zhuo Mingyu realized a lot, and suddenly felt a little afraid in his heart, "If I hadn't returned to my daughter immediately at that time, would that guy also take my daughter away...... Then ......"

"With that possibility, I've been watching a lot of cases of missing children on TV lately. He Qianjue said and looked back at the mirror, he could see through the mirror the large TV hanging in the hall outside, and the nurse at the front desk there coincidentally switched the TV channel to the evening news in the city, and the news also happened to broadcast a case of missing children.

Following He Qianjue's line of sight, Zhuo Mingyu also turned his head to look at the mirror, and saw the TV outside the mirror, as well as the evening news broadcast on the TV.
