Chapter 13: Scarlet Gotham City, the Shadow of Expulsion!
Fear!
Fear like never before!
Although he had been mentally prepared, when he really saw the true face of Sacco the hero clown from "League of Legends", Lu Yan still felt an unprecedented fear.
But.
He understands that this is just a scenario set up by the system.
In the scene, he doesn't suffer any substantial damage at all.
But he also has to do his best, even intellectually, and try to play his role in the scene.
Because the system has long reminded that only the higher the level of playing, the higher the reward he will get.
"Dear sir, I think you should have witnessed the whole process of someone falling from the building, yes, the murderer is me. β
Sacco the Clown, though, gives people a terrifying sense of oppression.
But he spoke in a low voice, as humble as a stray dog on the side of the road looking for food in a garbage can.
He pointed to the body of the man in the nightgown and continued, "Unfortunately, sir, unless you can give me a proper reason, I have to ...... Let you go with Him to God. β
"it!"
Lu Yan felt a chill behind him, thought for a while, and said, "Isn't there a way to survive in your hands?"
Sacco alternated his hands, tossed a dagger, and sneered: "Yes, unless...... You can do one thing that scares me. β
!
Let the Joker, who claims to be the "source of fear", feel fear?
Seems unlikely!
Lu Yan carefully recalled the background of the character given to him by the system before entering the scene, and then said: "Sacco, I know all your past, including your life experience, and all the sins you have done. β
"The Gotham City Police Department will arrest you with just a phone call, but I don't want to do that because I think your life can be saved. β
"Are you joking, sir?"
Sacco jumped onto a truck on the side of the road and sat on the roof of it.
That position seemed to be a head taller than Lu Yan, which would make him condescending and have a full sense of control.
"I've seen brave men like you more than once who want to try their luck at my hands, saying almost identical lines, but they all ended up with the same ending, I cut out their tongues and rotted in the sewers under your feet!"
"Before I rot, you think you'll finish listening to my horror stories. β
Lu Yan ignored Sacco and continued, "You were born in the small village of Mingfa, fifty kilometers away from Gotham City, which is an ancient village cursed by wizards. β
"In this village, everyone is born with a real shadow, whether it is the body, or the sound and smile, it is exactly the same. β
"Moreover, the master has absolute control over the shadows!"
"The master can control his shadow with his brain and make them do whatever you want, including committing crimes, even killing people. β
"The shadow can't resist, because whatever you think in your heart, your master's brain knows. β
"There is not even the right to die, because only the master's brain can decide on the matter of death. β
"Unless the master himself dies, the shadow will die together. β
"So in this village you can often see that the master is asleep while his shadow is working in the fields, that the master commits a sin, and his shadow suffers for him, that the master gambles a lot of money, and that the shadow is burdened with huge loans and is terrified, and that the master becomes a glamorous and fashionable lady, and her shadow becomes a secret prostitute who picks up customers on the street day and night......"
"Every master feels that since he has a free and obedient shadow, do you still need to work hard in life?"
"Of course, it is not excluded that those who live in harmony with the shadows...... But the ugliness of human nature still makes this situation worse. β
"Gradually, there are more and more such people, and the village becomes more and more evil, chaotic, and dirty......"
"You, Sacco, are a shadow of a tragedy. β
"Actually, you were lucky at first. Your master was born into a wealthy family, and your relationship also got along well, and even became best friends, talking about everything. β
"Until one day, your master is engaged, and suddenly one day he is furious, and uses a re-gun to kick you out of the house, so that you never go home, or even half a step into Mingfa Village...... Otherwise, I'll blow you to the scum!"
............
"No, no, no!"
"I never had any bad thoughts about the master's fiancΓ©e, the master's brain can sense my brain, and he knows that I didn't think so, I was wronged by him!"
Before Lu Yan's story was finished, Sacco, the clown sitting on the roof of the truck, suddenly became emotional.
He roared, his tiny fist thumping the iron truck roof.
"Yes, your master said that you had the idea of having an affair with his fiancΓ©e, and you were permanently expelled. β
"I was wronged...... Unjustly ...... Who the hell are you?"
Sacco gasped, his gaze behind his mask turned blood-red, and he glared at Lu Yan.
"Didn't you ever want to return to Mingfa Village and prove your innocence?"
Lu Yan glanced at Sacco, walked into the cab of the truck, started the engine, and slowly drove out of the narrow street.
in the rearview mirror.
Sacco stood dumbfounded, motionless.
Half an hour later.
It wasn't until Lu Yan's truck was about to drive into Mingfa Village that a colorful children's bicycle rolled up a puff of smoke and dust and drifted in front of the truck.
It was Nicolas sitting on the stroller.
He looked at Lu Yan and said weakly: "You won, my master is indeed the only fear in my heart...... Lead the way, it's been thirty years, and it's time for me to meet him. β
Fifteen minutes later.
Lu Yan took Saka and came to a dilapidated villa.
"It's changed a lot. β
"When I was a child, there were two huge durian trees in front of this villa, and my owner and I often climbed up to pick the largest durian at the top of the tree and make it into wine...... But why is this happening now?"
Sacco looked at the two bare durian tree stumps in front of the villa, stunned.
"You're Sacco's shadow, aren't you? Sacco knew you were coming back today, and he asked me to pick you up. β
At this time, the courtyard door of the villa shook, a lot of red rust peeled off, the door opened, and a woman in her forties stretched out half of her body.
"Ma'am. β
Sacco was stunned for a moment before he recognized the woman as the master's wife, Syrah, thirty years ago.
"Sacco, who is this gentleman?"
Siela looked at Lu Yan and asked as she looked up and down.
Before Sacco could introduce him, Lu Yan smiled slightly: "Hello, Sakov, I'm Lu Yan, Sacko's friend." β
"Mr. Lu, please come in with you. β
Sila very politely let Lu Yan and Sacco into the villa together.
"Friends ......"
When Sacco heard the words, his heart stirred up a long-lost fluctuation.
But it only lasted for a second, and then, a sneer appeared on his lips again.
"Friends?"
"My master and I used to be friends, but the word friend has long been one of my most hated words. β
"If possible, I will kill this guide, as well as the master, Sila, and all the people in this villa!"
He then tucked his hand into his bloated trouser pocket and clenched the dagger inside.
as a shadow.
At this time, he was not afraid that his thoughts would be sensed by his master, and he would preemptively kill him.
Even the owner doesn't need to be hands-on.
It only takes a brain thought for him to commit suicide, and as a shadow, he is powerless to resist except to do so.
But he stuck to his decision.
Humiliation is the biggest fear in his heart, tormenting him all the time.
Because he knew that if he wanted to end the source of fear that had been hidden in his heart for thirty years, perhaps, death would be a good relief?
