Chapter 4: The Joker's Invitation
It is rumored that a long time ago, a demon coveted the beauty of the world and wanted to poison the world.
Forced by the seal of the heavenly realm, he can't do anything to harm the world, but the devil has a demonic way.
He created a mask that his possessor could gain access to, and he could do everything from heaven to earth.
However, the mask can also be extremely distorted in the heart of the wearer, and the human soul can hardly bear the distortion of the mask, and eventually they will all turn into murderous demons.
This demon mask was originally obtained by a circus clown.
The Joker is poor and embarrassed, he has a girlfriend, but the girlfriend dislikes him for playing the Harlequin, dislikes him for having no money, and ends up eloping with a repairman.
The clown was devastated, but the rest of his colleagues looked down on him, and they would always whisper in the break room after the show:
"Jack's performance is so embarrassing......"
"Just like everyone else, a pathetic clown."
"Don't say that, only a clown played by a failed person like him is interesting, haha!"
“......”
Jack lives in the shadows, and the gossip is like a thorn in his back, which makes him extremely inferior, and in this extreme inferiority grows a twisted flower.
If I were the devil, I would make all of you suffer from me!
The devil granted his wish, and on a night of lightning and thunder, a mask suddenly appeared on the table in the clown's cramped room.
The clown wore it and became a master of the show that flowed the world to create fear and blood, and each of his plays was composed of blood.
Su Ling closed the information, and Luo Na pointed to the characters on the TV: "When the disguised monster was filmed, I referred to this terrifying legend. ”
Su Ling looked at the LCD screen, and the strange jie inside also had a mask, which came from the hand of the evil god Loki, and had incredible magical power, and it could change in vain when he wore it.
"This mask can only be worn by the righteous with a good heart," Lorna shrugged, "and the beauty is like a fairy tale, the power is in the hands of moral people, bringing stability and peace to society." ”
Su Ling pressed his temples and had a headache: "This opponent won't use his strength to do good things like in the movie, right?" ”
Lorna pulled out the blade of her sword, and the "sonorous" sword sounded, as if she was going to immediately go into battle to slash the evil ghost: "That's a demon walking in the world, the suburbs have received dozens of missing reports, each time it is related to circus performances, and now the performances are banned, but every midnight, many people rush to a certain place to watch the performance like a demon, but there is clearly nothing there!" ”
Su Ling shuddered, as if the evil ghost had set up a vision, attracting those who couldn't control their desires to come and harvest their souls when they got carried away.
Since he took over this task, he couldn't admit it, and then he asked: "What kind of strength is it?" ”
Lorna shook her head: "I don't know, there are no shooting records and combat records at the moment." ”
Su Ling was dumbfounded: "What is his ability?" ”
The girl's face was also not good-looking: "We don't know anything, we haven't even seen this weird, the above information is all from the mouths of those who survived, but the next day they died." ”
"It's like death has a knife on his neck...... Su Ling muttered, and his eyes suddenly froze, "Isn't this the message he deliberately released?" ”
Lorna nodded, "Yes...... It's like a prank game, where Jack the Clown constantly provokes us, but humans can't find any trace of him after each crime. ”
Su Ling felt a chill, and there was a strange feeling behind him, and the clown Jack seemed to be peeking at them outside the window, wanting to see what means the pursuers would use against him this time.
When I looked up, there was nothing outside the window, the pedestrians on the road were walking as usual, and the child was playing with his mother with a red balloon in his hand.
"What are you looking at?" Lorna asked curiously, "No matter how arrogant Jack is, it's impossible for him to spy on us right under our noses." ”
"It's nothing," Su Ling shook his head, leaving that feeling of being spied on, "I just think it's tricky." ”
This Jack hadn't shown up yet, but he felt that the pressure was everywhere, even worse than the previous two times.
Neither the monstrous Raymond nor the undead puppet had ever put such pressure on him.
Not strength, but real weirdness.
Cunning and treacherous, crazy and wanton, unreasonable and at the same time shrewd and elusive.
Even beyond the border blockade and deep into the interior, humanity still can't catch him.
Su Ling is actually not too afraid of powerful weirdness, and the highest destructive power in reality is S-level, and humans have many killing weapons that can be compared to it.
But there is a weirdness of wisdom, which is quite difficult.
Make reasonable use of your own rules, even low-level weirdness can play high-level hunters, this is where the trouble lies.
The situation is unclear now, and even he finds it difficult.
Even if he opens Paradise Lost, his combat power is unparalleled, but as long as the other party is not stupid and easily drags on this time, he can only be slaughtered by others.
Mercury Sand used a secret magic puppet to take him down effortlessly.
Seeing his sad face, Lorna provoked: "What, you also have a day to be afraid?" ”
Su Ling waved his hand: "I just think it's troublesome." ”
"Oh," the girl disagreed, "I'm sure that guy can't trouble you, and your secrets are much more mysterious than his." ”
Su Ling smiled bitterly: "Miss, don't make fun of me at this time, let's talk about the next plan." ”
Lorna was also a little embarrassed: "We don't know his whereabouts at the moment...... I can only wait for him to commit the crime again. ”
Su Ling frowned: "Do you want to sit and watch the innocent sacrifice again?" ”
"It can't be helped......" Lorna sighed, "unless someone tells us where he is, but how is that possible?" ”
At this moment, a sudden sound came from outside the window:
"Nothing is impossible~ Jack the Clown can do anything."
The voice is shrill and contrived, and there is a rather casual and funny way, which is extremely uncomfortable to listen to.
The faces of the two people in the room changed at the same time, Jack the Clown!
How did he get here by crossing the manor's heavily guarded line?!
The alarm in her heart rose sharply, the girl's sword blade was instantly unsheathed, and Su Ling came to the window first, smashing open the glass to chase the comer.
The glass was shattered in an instant, and Su Ling came to the garden outside, but did not continue the pursuit, but stopped.
"What's wrong?" Lorna quickly rushed to his side, and seeing that he was not moving, she hurriedly asked.
Su Ling's face was ugly: "He took the initiative to send it to the door......"
In front of him, a red balloon floated, on which a smiling face was drawn, and at the bottom of the balloon, a black invitation was hung from a rope.
Lorna slashed the red balloon with a sword, and the balloon turned into pieces with a "pop", and the black card tied to it was caught by her.
There is a sentence written on it:
"Two officers, do you have a show tonight?"
Attached below is an abandoned industrial building in the suburbs, and the inscription is a mask that seems to be smiling but not smiling.
Su Ling turned his head and looked out of the manor.
With his eyesight, even if he was hundreds of meters away, he could still clearly see that on the road outside, the little boy was standing on the sidewalk with a smile, waving at him, and the red balloon he was holding in his hand had long since disappeared.
His lips twitched, as if to say, "Come and get me." ”
Su Ling looked at him in the air like this, and the next second the traffic light passed, and the boy's figure was overwhelmed by the crowd and disappeared.
“……”
"What's wrong?"
Lorna followed his gaze and found nothing.
"It's nothing," Su Ling shook his head, "It's underestimated...... Such a provocation, what an interesting guy. ”
Lorna suddenly felt that the momentum of the man in front of her had changed drastically.
He was full of spirit, his eyes were full of desire to conquer, like an emperor who was excited to lead his army to the battle:
"Then let's meet this Mr. Clown!"
