Chapter Thirty-Six
What kind of power is a level 7 powerhouse?
Not to mention the fastest assassins, even the weakest mages can easily surpass the speed of sound with the help of magic. As for destroying buildings and burning forests, it is even easier and more casual.
The seven men in black searched with all their might, and soon, they caught the clown, no, to be precise, it was not like they caught the clown, but more like the clown did not run away and deliberately let them catch it.
Luna, Jack, and Leigh follow a shadow guard to the manor's art gallery, where famous paintings, sculptures, and even an old Pirmon harpsichord are placed.
The clown man in clown makeup, dressed in a dark blue robe emblazoned with stars, with eerie curly green hair, stood next to the harpsichord, his face not fearful, but with an exaggerated smile.
One of the Shadow Guards twisted the Joker's hands behind his back and put the Forbidden Gauntlet on him, while the Shadow Guard pressed the Joker's upper body down to prevent him from having any chance to struggle.
In fact, the clown really didn't struggle.
"I've got you again~" Coming to the Joker, Luna's mouth curled into a triumphant smile.
The Joker didn't speak, just held his head high, looked at Luna, and smiled maliciously.
"Heh, aren't you convinced?clown, as scheming as you do, even I don't know how you managed to kill your experimental mage and escape from your cell. But do you think you'll be able to escape the Shadow Guards?" Luna said, "I've caught you seven times, Joker, don't try to run away, the Shadow Guard's powers are much better than your brains!, yes, I'm curious, where did you get the spell scroll?"
Silence, still a silent laugh, the clown's eyes flashed with contempt and cunning, and he didn't say a word.
After a moment, Luna realizes that something is wrong, and she narrows her eyes and asks slowly.
"Why don't you speak? dumb, clown? answer me. Why don't you speak, aren't you very able to speak?"
This time the silence was short.
"Hee-hee-hee, hee-hee-hee!"
A mocking laugh was squeezed out from between the clown's grinning teeth.
He opened his mouth, still in his hoarse voice, and said slowly, "Do you think you caught me?oh, hahaha, it seems that you did, yes~ Shadow Guard's boys, I appreciate you, you can catch me every time." But, alas, it's useless for you to catch me, because seven, oh roar, seven times, what a wonderful number, you know? There are seven days in a week, and oh, it took seven days for the creation of the God of Light. Well, seven times is enough, my arrangement is already perfect, oh beautiful duke, you can try to stop me. ”
"I ask you, where did you get the spell scroll, and who gave it to you?"
The Joker ignored Duke Stars' questioning, and said to himself, "Aren't you curious about my arrangement? Aren't you curious about my plans? Don't you want to guess what I want? Oh, don't worry, don't worry, let me tell you, I'm going to destroy this city, and then, well, and then let half of the people live? Do you want to know how I'm going to do it......"
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Luna's pretty face was frosty, at this time, her plan was at a critical moment, she couldn't bear such a change, if this city was destroyed, then the next day, the Arcane Council's Sanctuary powerhouse would come to Star City, and then, all her prospects would have to stop.
"Oh...... Well...... Do you know how many spell scrolls I've buried in this city? Oh, come and guess, well, I'll tell you, three thousand four-ring scrolls, five thousand three-ring scrolls, are completely enough to blow up the city to the sky, and when the time comes, capable professionals may be able to survive, but those ordinary people, professionals of the first and second rings, oh hahaha, the fireworks of flesh and blood will bring you the sanctuary of the Arcane Council, oh, the beauty of the femme fatale, you must be resentful in your heart now, but, as long as you kill me, the city will immediately end in a grand salute. ”
"What do you want?"
"Oh...... Ha ha...... What do I want?" the clown groaned, as if talking to himself.
"I want money? I want beauty? I want power? Oh, I want freedom? No, I'm not for the superficial stuff...... I'm a philosopher, and I'm going to go through sin, killing, and death to explore the reason why human beings live in the world, and aha, I don't seem to be that noble, really, eh, the most difficult thing for people to see through is really themselves, what do I want?"
At this time, Jack noticed something unusual, he asked [Star] to analyze, and sure enough, it was not an illusion, the shape of this clown's mouth did not match what he was saying now.
Following Jack, Leigh also discovers a problem.
"Duchess, there's something wrong with this clown!"
"Oh, I'm a little wrong, well, there's nothing wrong with me, I'm not crazy, yes, I'm not crazy at all, it's just, ha, ah, I can't seem to make it up, but it's okay, I don't have to. ”
The hoarse voice, which was as dry as a dry well, came to an abrupt end.
Suddenly, Duke Starry seemed to realize something, and she took out a knife from the spatial ring and slashed it hard at the Joker's chest.
"Uhh
The hoarse cry of pain made Luna's face extremely ugly, and the bleeding wound on "Joker's" chest further confirmed her judgment.
"You're Master Mack. With a sound of affirmation, but with an uncontrollable rage, Luna stabbed the "Joker" in the chest again, "Why? Why are you helping him?"
"Ah...... Oh, hehehehe, because ......" Master McMage grinned, this time, he was speaking in his own voice, his exaggerated smile and shadowy fanatical eyes staring at Luna, "He's so charismatic, so wise and thorough, he knows the true face of the world, he knows the truth of everything, he looks like a madman, but he is an indispensable genius in this world, compared to him, what is your stupid, self-righteous, pretending to be a high ****?"
Luna's chest heaved violently, clearly in a state of agitated rage, and a charming smile suddenly curled into her lips.
A knife plunged into Master Mack's chest in an instant.
"Since you respect that clown so much, you go to hell and wait for him!"
The woman's vicious voice sounded.
Master Mack, however, laughed maniacally and confronted each other.
"Hell? haha, he will take me to the kingdom of God, yes, I will reach the kingdom of God, and when the time comes, I will look down on you from above, poor woman!!"
Mike dies, under Luna's rage.
Watching from the sidelines, Jack suddenly had some kind of premonition.
[This guy, he's spreading madness, and he seems to be doing it easily.] How terrible is his contagious spirit, this clown, he is probably more dangerous than any Duke of the Stars, or the Red Enchantress. 】
Although there was no reason for such a premonition, Jack believed it.
He felt that the escape of this clown might be a nightmare for the entire Star City and even the whole world.
————
Ten minutes ago, the dungeon.
When an explosion sounds, Luna and the others run out of the dungeon.
The clown, who was dead and could no longer die, suddenly moved, he first untied the bandage around his waist, then moved his hands up, untied the bandage on his chest, and stepped forward, and while sitting up, his hands returned to their original positions.
"Hahahaha!"
Although his eyes were still stuck with knives and tweezers, and although the corners of his mouth were still two scissors, he smiled happily.
With a force, the clown pulled out the things in his eyes, and then ripped off the scissors at the corners of his mouth, and in the next moment, the powerful recovery force restored his eyes and the corners of his mouth to their original state.
Pulling out the key from under the list on the test bench, the clown unfastened the gloves on his hands.
Moving his long, pale hands, he thought for a moment, picked up a pair of white gloves for experiments from the small table next to the test bench, put them on slowly, and looked in the mirror leisurely.
He took off the blonde wig from his head, wiped the blood-stained white makeup off his face with a white sheet, and combed his miserable green curls before picking up the transmission scroll attached to his stomach.
He stepped out of the rusty cage.
He let out a sly smile that had been practiced for a long time.
