Anseong.

In an ordinary house.

"It's raining again today."

Yang Huan, who was slumped on the sofa, got up, took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator, stretched, and walked towards the room.

Tomorrow is a day off, so I don't have to go to work...... There is no need to work overtime.

Yang Huan opened the curtains, stood by the window, looked at the night, and listened to the sound of rain outside.

With a "snort", he opened the can of Coke with force.

Rainy night, home alone, rest tomorrow......

Since graduating from college, Yang Huan has not been so relaxed for a long time.

Cocking his neck and taking a long sip of cold Coke, Yang Huan let out a long breath and took out a box of game CDs from his bag.

[A stage play by a clown] / "Hypocritical Drama".

If it is translated directly, it can be translated as ...... The Joker's stage play.

But since the paraphrase method is used, there must be a reason.

Yang Huan is a very ordinary worker, and after graduation, he found an ordinary job, with a boss who likes to draw cakes for people, and a boss who likes to brag in front of newcomers.

As for salary, I said that in the past, I could save a little money after deducting rent and normal expenses every month.

In addition to this identity, he is also a horror game lover, young people in the modern city live a stressful life, Yang Huan likes the kind of thrill that brings a sense of relaxation.

Hypocrisy Drama is a new hit game that has been gaining a lot of popularity on the Internet lately, and there are rumors that the game is really scaring people to death.

Yang Huan scoffed at this statement, knowing that this was a marketing ploy by a game company.

This kind of gossip that "a certain game is scared to death" occurs every year, and after a little thought, you know that it was sent by the project manager.

The price is 444 big Yan coins, originally Yang Huan was going to ask the front desk sister to watch a movie today, but the front desk sister already had an appointment.

However, it was raining today, and it was inconvenient to go out, so the front desk sister had to go to the man's house for a date.

The game box depicts a clown, dressed in circus clothes, and under his colorful hair, there is a head without any flesh.

It was a skeletal clown, with the flesh of his face scraped off, but with two eyes in his sockets, grinning wide.

Being stared at by the skeleton clown, Yang Huan felt a little uncomfortable, and quickly opened the box and knocked it face down on the table.

He pulled out the box and pulled out a gold coin.

Of course, the gold coins will not be real gold, this is a giveaway for the game disc, after all, it is a collector's edition, if you don't give anything at all, it is somewhat stingy.

The obverse of the gold coin features a skeletal clown and a bouquet of black roses on the reverse –

This is mentioned in the background of the game, where black roses are the Joker's favorite flower.

Yang Huan inserted the game disc into the computer to read it, and by the way, he sighed about the development history of Yuanxing Technology.

For more than 100 years, computers can be used to read video discs, and then special playback machines appeared, seeing that the function of computers to read discs was about to be canceled, as a result, game manufacturers intervened and carved out game discs and put them on the computer to play.

I heard that major foreign manufacturers have begun to study machines that specialize in playing games......

Yang Huan was a little expectant, and then thought about his salary, and estimated that he would have to save money for a while.

After a while, the game was installed, Yang Huan lost the activation code, and on the monitor, an image of a skeleton clown appeared.

Yang Huan took a sip of ice cola and began to explore and operate.

The main character of the game is a circus clown who suddenly wakes up one night and finds himself in an abandoned amusement park.

The amusement park is run-down, overgrown with weeds, and next to the clown, is the head of a large dog.

The clown recognizes her, her name is Angie, she is a circus star who earns a lot of tickets for her boss, and many people like her.

As a circus clown, the clown is envious of Angie.

But now, Angie's eyes have been gouged out, blood is flowing from the hollow eye sockets, and the clown finds a note in her eye socket with some information written in it.

The Joker must leave the abandoned amusement park before dawn or be trapped here forever.

In addition to that, there are some hints for the player on it, which are messy and dirty.

For example, "You are a lion", "I am an elephant", "The tiger will eat you", "The tiger is safe in the belly", "The prince is a princess", "The princess has a horse's head", etc.

Yang Huan looked at the prompts on the note, and knew in his heart that there should be some puzzle-solving elements in this game.

He controls the clown, runs around the amusement park, and uses his rich experience and game reading function to pass one level after another.

Each level is inhabited by humanoid monsters, fierce and vicious, and the clown tries to kill them and make his way to his goal.

Until the last level, he came to an ancient castle.

Of course, the castle in the amusement park will not be so tall or so big, and this is a level that has been specially created in the game.

The note states that there is a princess living in the castle.

The princess hung her hair down, and the clown grabbed the princess by the hair and, like a prince, bravely climbed up to the castle.

But when he climbed up to the castle, he found that it was not the princess waiting near the window, but a head stuck in the window.

It was a beautiful head with blonde hair and eyes that were pale blue, like jewels.

At the neck, there were rough stitches, and attached to the beautiful skull was the body of a richly dressed man.

The clown raised his head, and not far from him, sat a slender figure, and on the head of this figure was sewn the head of a horse.

"Click, click, click......"

Inside the castle, the sound of high heels sounded.

A figure wearing a princess's long dress and a crown on her head crookedly appeared.

He looks like a clown.

The clown suddenly remembered that the clown with the crown in front of him was himself.

As a circus clown, although the clown has been working very hard to bring joy to the audience, not many people can afford him.

Because as long as you put on oil paint and wear a wig, everyone can play the role of a clown, and you don't care who the person under the oil paint and wig is.

The only person willing to talk to him was the clown, his partner, but everything changed when the circus owner's son returned from the big city.

The son of the circus owner, after seeing the outside world, brought back something called "stage play".

From then on, the clown became a princess, and the prince was naturally the son of a circus owner.

The stage play was a big hit, and the clown was also involved.

Of course, in the stage play, he is still the clown, and he is still the eternal supporting character.

Until one day, the clown who was drinking low-quality ale wine in the bar and used the wine to drown his sorrows had a dream.

After waking up, he returned to the circus.

The clown regained his former sunshine, greeted others with a smile, and participated in the rehearsal seriously.

Even the boss praised him, he has been working hard lately.

Until the day of the stage play.

The princess was captured by the bad guys and taken to the castle, and the one who played the bad guy was, of course, the clown.

The valiant prince set out to save the princess, slaying many monsters along the way before reaching the castle.

In the castle, the clown raised his axe high.

According to the script, the prince will intervene in time to save the princess.

However, this is a stage play that belongs to the clown.

The wooden prop axe was replaced with a real sharp axe, and the joker chopped off the princess's head, blood splattering out.

At first, the audience thought it was part of the show, but when the Joker cut the prince down, they screamed in horror.

In the very center of the stage, the clown chops off the head of a horse, and he holds the horse's head and sews it onto the princess's body.

In the chaos and screams, the clown hugged the princess's corpse, his face contorted, and he laughed exaggeratedly.

"Now, it's time for you to wake up."

The clown wearing a crown and a princess dress said to Yang Huan.

The Joker lives in pain, numbness and unawareness, and only by pouring out his pain on others can he awaken to his true self.

A gold coin appeared in front of Yang Huan.

The clown in the computer, Yang Huan in reality, invariably picked up the gold coins on the table.

The coin was tossed upwards and flipped in the air.

"Ding."

A crisp sound sounded, and the gold coin was face up.

Yang Huan grinned and laughed.

………………

"There was a murder in Qianhui International Building!"

"A whole floor of people, all dead!"

"Yang Huan, working for XX advertising company...... Suspected to be infected by [Joker]. ”

"The scene of the crime was tragic, and everyone was beheaded."

"When our people arrived, Yang Huan was sitting in the middle of a pile of corpses, his entire face had been peeled off by himself, and he was still holding a game box in his arms."

"How did this black disc get on the market?!"

"We went to check the local market and the owner said he was not impressed with the disc...... Suspected thinking is disturbed. ”

"Put that disc in and don't look it in the eye! There's something wrong with that thing. ”

In the Anseong Tianshu Management Office, the staff nervously analyzed the situation.

The Clown, their latest discovered forbidden creature, is under the command of the ruler of the Golden Throne.

The clown is very infectious, and can erode the real world through films, videos, and games.

………………

"Something happened again?"

Below the Qianhui International Building, Lu Xuan, who was shopping with Cheng Lingzhu and passing by here, frowned.

The investigators set up a cordon and sealed off the floor, but Lu Xuan checked it with his divine mind and found the problem.

The entire floor was covered in blood, and more than thirty people died, and the murderer was a skeleton dressed as a clown.

Although there is no flesh and blood on his face, it gives people the impression that he is laughing wildly.

Lu Xuan pondered that it was necessary for him to contact the local authorities.

The fragments of the battleship's driving core have not yet been found, so you might as well settle these taboo masters first.

Yuan Xing is responsible for providing information, and he is responsible for calling the door.

What is this called, Chaowen said, it is okay to die at night.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan used his mana, and a spatial crack appeared.

While the operators of the Tianshu Management Office were cleaning up the scene, he touched the "evidence" of others, that is, the clown CD.

Well, and a gold coin is also included.

………………

"The game rating system is a good thing."

Lu Xuan bowed slightly.

When the Great Yan Dynasty was at its peak, it was known as a beacon of civilization, and even if it is declining now, it is also the boss of the Yuanxing.

It's much better than the poor people in the Eastern Continent who are still developing.

At this time, it is necessary to mention the political system of the Great Yan Dynasty.

More than 400 years ago, in this land of Great Flame, a total of twelve countries coexisted and fought each other.

At this time, the [Holy Tara Empire] from the south launched an invasion of the Great Flame Domain.

In order to fight against the Holy Tara, the twelve Great Flame Kings joined forces to form the Great Flame Alliance.

In the end, the war was won, and the Great Yan Alliance did not dissolve immediately, but continued to carry out some political and economic cooperation.

In the process, the Great Yan discovered the benefits of union.

After constant friction and strife, coupled with the introduction of some ideas from the East, finally two hundred years ago, the Great Yan Empire was established.

Because of the problems left over from history, there are many elements of the political system of Dayan.

For example, there is an emperor in Dayan, and the emperor comes out of the twelve families in shifts.

But it was the consuls of the Senate, the Great Elders, who were really in charge.

It is worth mentioning that the emperor and the consul cannot be from the same family, and the question was deliberately made when the rules were made.

In addition to the consuls and emperors, there are also cabinet ministers, which are the culmination that ordinary people can reach, inheriting the functions of ancient prime ministers.

Lu Xuan was noncommittal about this, not to mention culture, science and technology, politics, the entire civilization on this planet was born from a core fragment of a high-level civilization warship......

So when looking at Yuan Xing, Lu Xuan occasionally has a ...... Very unreal feeling.

Plugging in the game disc, the icon of the clown skeleton appeared, and Yang Huan's previous saves disappeared, and he had to start from scratch.

For Lu Xuan, these are not big problems, Cheng Lingzhu is by his side, but there is nothing nervous.

The clown in the game is just bullying and bullying mortals, and he will cut it with a sword later.

Soon, Lu Xuan came to the last level.

The Skeleton Clown picked up the gold coin and tossed it upward.

In reality, Lu Xuan also picked up the gold coin and threw it upward.

The clown grinned:

"Jie Ji ......"

The laughter was only halfway through before it got stuck in his throat.

Because it found that the coin in its hand became face up.

In reality, the coin in Lu Xuan's hand is also the side of the black rose.

It's completely impossible.

Because the direction of the coin is controlled by the clown.

"Do you understand the good fortune and avoid the evil?"

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

The clown threw it again, still with the black rose's side up.

Then the third, the fourth......

Until the hundredth time, the skeleton clown let out a scream and hugged his head.

Lu Xuanxin said that this can be regarded as a hidden easter egg and a second ending.

He snapped his fingers, and in the middle of the game, the Joker's body exploded like fireworks, ushering in its bad ending.
