Chapter 7: The Repertoire of the Underground
"Step on ......"
The sound of footsteps echoed in the narrow escape corridor, and the girl accidentally stepped on the empty foot.
Lorna almost rolled down the stairs, but fortunately she was not an ordinary person, so she adjusted and continued walking.
As I walked, I felt that something was wrong.
I used to have to walk fourteen steps, but now I only walked thirteen steps to the corner.
Where did the lost staircase go?
She swallowed and clenched the black rabbit doll in her pocket.
Although I don't believe that this little thing can protect me, I can only trust that bastard.
This time there are no stairs, and in front of you is a gate marked with an emergency exit sign.
The door opened with a "bang", and the masked waiter bowed respectfully: "Madam, please come in." ”
Lorna looked at the mask on his face that seemed to be smiling, resisted the urge to make a move, grabbed the black rabbit doll and walked in.
The door was gently slammed shut again, without a sound.
Lorna knew she had no turning back, and she looked hard.
The underground garage is spacious and lively.
Since it is an abandoned industrial building, there is not a single car in the natural garage.
Now it's packed with people.
Countless spectators sat on small stools, looking at the makeshift stage in front of them.
It was really a temporary construction, with tungsten light bulbs tied to the beams as spotlights, engineering frames as iron frames to support the curtains, and cement floors as stages.
The clown stands in the center of the stage, and the mask under the lights is particularly eerie.
He turned to look at Lona, "Oh! Tonight's heroine! ”
Lorna didn't talk nonsense, and directly pulled out her long sword and pointed it at him: "What are your plans?" ”
"Oh yes," the clown shrunk his arms, "don't do that, I'm very weak, I'm not good at fighting, and I really want to invite you to a play." ”
After speaking, he shook his head and said with infinite regret: "It's a pity that the actor is always rebellious and wants to be a hero, so he shouldn't be able to come out now, right?" ”
A bad premonition rose in Lorna's heart: "What did you do to him?" ”
"It's nothing," said the clown grinning, "just playing a game with him, but you can't protect yourself now, so why do you care about him?" ”
"Can't protect yourself?" Lorna snorted coldly, and flames ignited on the sword, and the fire elemental gem on the hilt of the sword shone brightly, "I want to try." ”
"Hmm!" Jack trembled and pointed to her side, "Miss, don't mess around. ”
Lorna was stunned, and several viewers had quietly come to her at some point, and the key was ......
Each of these guys has a gasoline drum on them!
If she dares to unleash her abilities, she will be the first to be killed.
Lorna was furious: "Playing these little tricks, are you really scared of me?" ”
"No, no," Jack shook his head with a smile, "it's just that you haven't even seen my performance, and I can't even look at it." ”
"Hmph," the girl put away her sword, "then I'll see what you have to say." ”
She was anxious, and agreed with Su Ling before she came, and when he got a clue, the two of them would fight inside and outside to prevent the clown from playing tricks, but the signal of the communicator was disconnected from before and it was never connected.
The momentum of seeing death as home was all pretended, but now she just wants to delay as much time as possible and wait for Su Ling to return, so that the two of them can have a chance of defeating this weird guy when they join forces.
Seeing that she let go of her killing intent, Jack also resumed his smiling tone:
"Well, ma'am, we don't have to be enemies...... Maybe you'll be fascinated by my gig. ”
He bowed gracefully: "Now I have the first actor to cooperate with the performance!" Everyone's a clown tonight! ”
A woman walked out of the audience, and Lorna watched coldly with her hands on her chest.
The audience was wearing strange masks and couldn't see clearly, but judging from the woman's rough hands, it should have been a hard time.
The woman walked up to the stage, bowed to the people below, and then said emotionally:
"Thank you, Mr. Jack, for being clowns."
She laughed at herself: "I was born in a slum, what is the biggest sin, I have never met my parents, and I have been begging on the streets since I was a child......"
She said: "People like clowns in the stands, so why not see their own shadows? ”
"The nobles on the high platform talk and laugh freely, and they will not understand the sorrow of the common people as rats......"
She continued to introduce herself: "When I was young, I was still a little beautiful, really pitiful, I used my body to be young, married to a rich man with a fat head and big ears, and in the end he was swept away by his wife and discarded like garbage. ”
"So ......"
The woman's sad and self-deprecating voice suddenly became cold, and she laughed sharply: "I began to ask the demons for help, and I said, Devils, help me, kill them!" ”
She grabbed the mask on her face and tore it hard: "That's it, Lord Jack, have mercy on us, let us fight with him against those hateful fellows, I will cut them off and chop them up!! ”
Lorna was horrified to see it, the mask was very tightly adhered to the skin, and blood was oozing from under the mask, but the woman didn't realize it.
The more she tore up, the more energetic she became, and said excitedly: "Hey, look, look at me, look at me...... What does it look like? ”
The woman began to tear the clothes off her body, revealing her white flowery body, but the audience was unmoved.
"Mary bravely faced her demons, she did it, she accepted her past, now let's see if she can have a new life!" ”
The audience began to applaud, and for a while, the lively atmosphere swept the place again.
The naked woman on the stage tore at her face and moaned in pain: "I'm ...... What to do......"
Two lines of thick bloody tears flowed from the mask, and the woman finally tore off the mask.
This scene is absolutely disgusting enough.
The facial features were all glued to the mask, and the face underneath was blurred with flesh and blood.
The woman who had lost her face seemed to have lost her motivation and fell to the ground, motionless.
"It's a pity......," Jack shook his head, regretfully, "she can't give up her human identity after all, and she can't forget the humiliation she once had." ”
After speaking, he looked at Lorna, and his tone brought a cynical smile again: "She can actually be a demon as great as me, why not?" Why not join us? ”
He opened his hands and said affectionately: "The world is miserable, don't linger anymore; Forget about things and me, and ascend to bliss early. ”
At this time, the audience also clapped their hands and said in unison: "The world is miserable, don't linger anymore; Forget about things and me, and ascend to bliss early. ”
Jack raised his hand: "Come on my audience, today is the birth ceremony of the demon, see how many of you are real clowns?" ”
A man immediately walked up on the stage and introduced himself excitedly: "My name is Dick, I was exploited by my boss, cheated on by my wife, and looked down on by others......"
Like the woman, he recounted his fate, followed by a rampant laugh: "I killed them, it's so cool!" ”
The man also began to tear his mask, blood pouring from under the mask.
Obviously, he no longer has any nostalgia for the world.
The mask was lifted, and a bloody face appeared in front of him.
Lorna gasped and lit up.
This man is different from the previous one, he actually has a mask on his face!
"Brand new, demonic ......"
Jack looked at the masked features growing on the man's face, and knelt on the ground excitedly and cried bitterly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
The new "Joker" stood with Jack and shouted to the audience, "Come on, join us through this new trial!" ”
For a while, countless crowds went crazy, began to curse angrily and began to cry bitterly, complaining about the injustice of fate, and then began to tear the mask on their faces.
Some people are deprived of their facial features and are still crying, and they have lost their lives.
Some have dried their tears, they are no longer human beings, and they have a new life.
What kind of show is this, and it's not an emotional show at all!
It's a crazy, pathetic, horrific ritual that breeds demons.
Deprive human beings of their will, unload human emotions, and become a demon who gets carried away.
Lorna stood froze, trying to escape, but her feet felt like they were filled with lead.
The dead bodies stood up at this moment, and the faces of the lost features were aimed at her, and they pounced like demons.
Each of them had their own torn masks in their hands, scrambling to bring them to Lorna: "Why were you born high!! Give us a try! ”
