When the eerie and shrill laughter rang out, the roar of gunfire and the shouts of fighting were muffled, and even the sound of heavy rain pouring down on the stone slabs and roofs disappeared in an instant.

No, not only sound.

Wayne immediately wanted to call out the name of the demon clown in Gonzalez - Arnold Lilith Leonard. But he found that his body was frozen, unable to open his mouth, unable to move, and even unable to turn his eyes away from the clown doll's gaze except for the movement he had just turned around.

What he didn't know was that all the people in the entrance to the Dumitru neighborhood, centered on the clown dolls, from the edge of the core to the east and the Dumitru neighborhood to the west, were immobilized, their voices were eliminated, and their otherworldly properties were dispelled.

At this moment, the world of the investigators of the secret investigation department and the warriors of Vázquez fell completely silent, and they could only hear that eerie laughter.

Their faces still maintained their previous expressions, either resolute, hateful, or calm......

And those who were pierced by swords and hit by gunfire were very relieved at this time, because they had a moment to remember the past, worry about their own loss of battle, look forward to the comrades next to them to avenge them, and even think about what they would say after their bodies recovered - that is, the grandson in the front left shot his grandfather with a strange long-pole gun!

Zila, boom!

Several bolts of lightning pierced the dark night sky, illuminating the eerie scene of the Dumitru neighborhood. Let the aristocratic troops who had just arrived from the core area unconsciously stop.

Baron Troch Nascimento's face changed suddenly, especially after seeing the clown doll that was only 1.5 meters long, and the forgotten memory resurfaced in his mind.

One night seventeen years ago, the sky wasn't as dark as it was tonight. Under the light of the red moon, the clown doll dances and transforms into a man with an aristocratic temperament. Walking in a gorgeous dance-like stride, he shuttled through the ranks of investigators at the time, humming unknown songs in his mouth, and randomly cutting off the heads of those around him with a knife.

"It's him ......"

"Is it him?!"

Not only Trochi, but Baron Cortez Seth also recalled what happened that night, and couldn't help but cry out in a lost voice: "The forbidden thing is out of control?!" ”

The inquisitors and city guards who followed behind them all subconsciously swallowed their saliva, fear spread, panic spread, and the whole team rioted. That strange scene made their scalps tingle, and even many people began to retreat, wanting to escape from here, the farther away the better.

"Now, what are you going to do? Troch. Cortez struggled to suppress his fear, and he could already see the clown doll's furry body begin to flatten and elongate, and its button-like eyes slowly swirling with a little sparkle of light.

I'm afraid that the next scene will happen again......

"You go back and inform the Earl, I'll stay!" Troci took a deep breath, of course he saw the clown doll change, but his eyes were more focused on the figure that had swelled to more than three meters, Marco.

As a nobleman, he values rights and interests, but pays more attention to the orderly inheritance.

"Alright," Cortez nodded busily as he turned around and returned to the council hall with the family guard, when he hesitated to take a few steps and spat out a few words, "I'm looking forward to seeing you again, Baron Nascimento." ”

Troch didn't speak, and looked at Marco with a serious expression.

The people behind him walked more and more, and in the end, among the people who remained, except for the guards and shadow killers raised by their Nascimento family, only a few transcendents were left wearing the uniforms of the investigators of the secret investigation department.

"Why don't you leave?"

"I've been a clown once, and I'm going to be a coward again?"

"Yes, for the sake of my family, I have betrayed the belief that I have held for many years, and I vaguely remember that many years ago when I first joined the Secret Division, when Balatz was only the head of the War Department, he said that we are a light in the darkness, and we are not guarding someone, but order. I didn't expect ...... Hehe, when the light no longer illuminates Custer, everything loses its meaning! ”

"Do you hear the roars of those distortors in the distance? That's all mockery of us! ”

"The truth is so good, don't you still want to die?"

"Stop talking so much nonsense, guys, I can't wait to stand by them."

"Then kill!"

These inquisitors chose to return to their families today to stand on the opposite side of the council because of their blood ties. And they choose to stay and face the taboo head-on for salvation.

Troch was silent for a long time before he slowly raised his hand and waved it forward, "Stop it!" ”

Swish.

Everyone strode forward in unison, the city guards with swords in front, the inquisitor with guns in the back, the shadow killer in the shadows, and the nobles with guards in the center.

They all knew in their hearts that the forbidden object was not an aberration, not an epoch relic, but a third-level calamity that could destroy the world once it got out of control.

Take this step, life and death!

On the other side, where the secret division is located, there are only two people who can still move at this time, no, there are three people - Director Nefa who holds the bow of the "Forbidden Item 0-91 Homecoming", Tina, who looks at the demon clown out of control with a calm face, and Black Jack, who has always kept a low profile!

"It's the demon clown, out of control?"

Nifa looked at the clown doll's eyes, puzzled, shocked, and puzzled, with Tina's suppression, how could it still get out of control?

But no matter what she had in mind, she didn't dare to make a move lightly at this time.

Even though she also held the forbidden object in her hand, if her supernatural powers were not available, one wrong step could cause the bow image to spiral out of control.

Yes, you have to wait for a suitable opportunity!

And Black Jack looked at the clown doll who was laughing weirdly and had obvious signs of losing control, and couldn't help but scold: "I knew it, I knew it wouldn't be such an easy task." ”

He flashed straight to Tina's side with Old Jack's face, and put his hand on her shoulder, "Don't move, it's too dangerous here, I'll take you away!" ”

With that, without waiting for Tina to respond, Blackjack grabbed her by the waist and ran westward.

And Wayne, who was next to him, saw this scene, and his red eyes reflected the figure of Black Jack kidnapping Tina, and scolded angrily in his heart: Damn clown, can you be reliable?

Can't you say that when you lose control, the people around you can't move?

That's it, you still let Lao Tzu lift your runaway state and unseal a ghost?

[Note 4: There are two ways to remove taboos 1-83 Demon Clowns out of control, one is to shout "Arnold Lilith Leonard" in Gonzares.] The second is to watch the whole performance with a blank face, even when you cooperate with the performance. 】

A few hints flashed, and Wayne felt even more depressed, he wanted to say that he knew the way to get rid of the Joker's loss of control, and the key was that he needed to be able to speak.

As long as he can speak, there are no issues with forbidden supernatural traits, cooperation with watching clown performances, and emotional management.

"Tina......

Director Nefa also saw the scene of 'Old Jack' kidnapping, but her attention was on Tina, especially when she saw the white-haired girl's eyes turning her head to look back-those eyes that were no longer empty and godless, she faintly understood something in her heart, and a chill instantly spread to her whole body.

At that moment, Wayne saw the clown doll's mouth close and stop the eerie laugh, and the buttoned eyes slowed down until they stopped, revealing a pair of malicious eyes, scanning everyone around them.

He noticed that the clown's gaze did not deliberately stay on him, and the loss of control also represented amnesia?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the show is about to begin, please be quiet and pay attention to the order of the theater. I believe that with the cooperation of you and me, it will be a perfect show. ”

The clown doll's voice was slightly hoarse, and his tone was unusually calm, as if he had long lost any expectations for the performance, and was more indifferent to the people and things around him.

Hearing this, Wayne smiled bitterly in his heart, garbage clown, you deserve to be fucking yin.

Puff, puff, puff......

Immediately after, a heart-beating sound sounded in everyone's ears, as if with some kind of magic, and everyone around them felt that their hearts were beating at a frequency like clowns.

[You are affected by the loss of control of "Forbidden Substances 1-83 Demon Clown", and your body is gradually controlled by it (including your movements, words, and thoughts). Exemptions: Toughness level over 5000 and origin over 250, or possession of taboos. 】

Manipulation - meaning that all actions and words will be manipulated by the Joker?

So how do you get rid of his runaway state?

Wayne couldn't help but be secretly anxious, he expected the Joker to get out of control, but he never thought that Tina, who could suppress the Joker, would also have an accident.

If he chooses the second way to get rid of the Joker's loss of control, he can't guarantee that he will be able to watch the whole show with a blank face.

At the same time, the clown doll's body began to transform at an accelerated pace, and its furry appearance gradually flattened out and disappeared. Some turn into skin, some into black dresses, and some like its nose is becoming clearer and clearer.

As his body elongated, the tattered mask appeared on his face, his huge funny red nose was clear and transparent, and he was still wearing the black dress embroidered with gold lines, and an extra cane in his hand, which looked like a clown on the stage.

The clown grinned widely, and his blood-red lips and red nose made him look extremely gloomy in the dim darkness of the night. But he didn't notice it, but put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly, and saluted gentlemanly: "Sorry for keeping you waiting." ”

At this time, the people around him, whether they saw or could only hear his voice, scolded at the same time in their hearts: Bastard, if you can't move, who wants to wait for you?

Among them, there is no one who regrets it the most, Nicole Vázquez, who still has a smug and proud expression on her face, which is the determination to win this battle, and the pride of the glorious reappearance of the Vázquez clan she leads.

But now, she wanted to slap herself twice.

As long as she came half an hour late, no, even ten minutes late, she and her men would not fall into the uncontrollable effects of the taboo.

But what now?

This is probably the common voice of everyone present at this moment, unless an external force intervenes, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape today.

At this time, Chief Nefa, the only person in the field who could move, came back to his senses and tried to keep his voice calm, "Everyone, pay attention, it will prioritize killing people whose expressions change." At the same time, when his abilities are activated, you will be asked to complete a show with him, similar to the previous circus performances. ”

This was the experience that their secret division had summed up after the battle seventeen years ago, almost similar to what Wayne had seen on the panel.

For the vast majority of transcendents who don't understand the uncontrollable effects of the forbidden object of the Demon Joker, Nifa's reminder is no less than a lifesaver, and even Vazquez, who is an enemy, remembers her as the kind head of the secret department in their hearts.

But, easier said than done.

If it was as simple as she said, the last time the clown got out of control, the secret division wouldn't have killed so many people.

When Director Nefa reminded her, the demon clown didn't interrupt, but just glared at her and the bow in her hand, as if he was afraid of something.

After a long while, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the "audience" around him, and the corners of his mouth once again showed a cruel and evil smile.

Dada, dada......

The clown's leather shoes kicked on the stone pavement, shook the cane in his hand, hummed an unknown ballad, and lightly bypassed Wayne and the others, as if he was looking for a suitable place to be the final stage.

It's okay......

Wayne couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw him out of sight, he was really worried that this damn clown would give preference to people who were close to him as guest performers.

Like him, there are also Lacey and Marco, who are not far away.

Although the two of them have not experienced that crisis, they have heard a lot of that experience from their predecessors, and they know how terrible it is for the clown to get out of control.

It didn't take long for the footsteps to stop, and the clown walked to a spacious place in front of the secret division's door, and nodded with satisfaction, "That's it, okay, look here, look at me." ”

As he spoke, the clown snapped his fingers.

Syllable.

Everyone's bodies looked at him uncontrollably, and people like Wayne who had turned their backs to him before were all turned straight, not to mention those who were still in a fighting stance.

At this point, everyone's hearts chuckled. Most people have only heard of the horror of forbidden things getting out of control, but the scene just now completely turned their cognition upside down.

This kind of weird ability is no longer something that can be described in two words: horror!

"Let's invite the first lucky winner today, who to choose......"

The clown stared at everyone strangely and fiercely, and the corners of his mouth grinned from time to time, as if to show his satisfaction with that person.

"You, or you? This gentleman seems to be too calm, not good, not good......"

"Wow, I see fear in your eyes, such a look is not good, it will frighten other lovely viewers~"

All eyes were on him, and most of them didn't know who he was talking about, except for the people he was looking at.

But soon, everyone knew that the clown drew a short knife from his cane, the handle of which was part of the cane, and the blade was so dull that only a string of Gonzalez words could be faintly seen engraved on it.

Then the clown walked up to one of Vázquez men with the dagger in his hand, leaned closer, his red nose almost on his face, and looked left and right with a smile, "Are you afraid?" ”

The blade of the short knife in his hand shook before the Vazquez people's eyes, as if he was picking a suitable place to place the knife.

"Huh? Why don't you speak? ”

The Vázquez warrior's eyes widened, and his body was so controlled that he couldn't even blink or roll his eyeballs, let alone speak. Only the fear in his eyes can reflect his inner emotions.

After waiting for a moment, the clown seemed a little impatient, and got a little closer, his blood-red eyes staring into his eyes, and the red nose against his face.

"Why didn't you speak?"

"How dare you be so rude to a gentleman! Yes? ”

At the end, he almost roared, accompanied by a slightly elongated tail note, and a short knife slashed through the Vázquez's neck.

Bang.

Head to the ground.

呲呲...... Blood spurted out like a fountain.

A little bit of blood fell on the clown's face, he looked down, his expression was a little lonely, looked at the corpse and said regretfully: "Wonderful performance, it's a pity you can't see it." ”

With that, he turned back to where he was, as if everything he had done before was for the sake of a show, in order for everyone to see the human fountain show.

"Applause."

The clown snapped his fingers with a wicked smile on his face.

Bang Bang Bang ......

Everyone clapped uncontrollably with their hands, and although the movements were stiff and ugly, the clown was extremely helpful when he heard these applause, and even bowed to the surroundings to show his gratitude.

At this time, everyone is even more afraid to take it lightly and is trying to control their emotions.

Even the Vázquez people who had just seen the clown kill the warrior didn't dare to show half of their emotions at this time, even if they were resentful in their hearts.

In the crowd, Wayne let his body move on its own, trying to keep his heart calm.

Damn clown, you're such a pervert!

How can anyone block other people's mouths and let people speak?

Nifa floated in mid-air, silently watching the "wonderful performance" below, and couldn't help but recall that night in his mind. She remembered the same powerless and helpless feeling as she could only suppress her fear and watch the inquisitors being slaughtered as if they were being slaughtered.

Even today, seventeen years later, the images of the silent and tragic deaths of her companions will appear in her dreams and be deeply imprinted in her mind.

And the former elder, whom they respected and loved, also died that night.

If Ales hadn't arrived at the last minute, I'm afraid everyone would have died......

Ales, I'm afraid you chose this because of that night, right?

It's a pity......

……

……

On the other side, Blackjack, who had already run out of the Dumitru neighborhood, returned to his original appearance, and took Tina towards the harbor at a rapid speed, rampage along the way, and I don't know how many distortions were broken.

"Tina, put it down." The white-haired girl turned her head to look at his unfamiliar face, and her eyes were soon clouded with a layer of red.

"No, don't let go!"

Blackjack desperately ran towards the Basil neighborhood, what taboos, what to cooperate with the Vazquez people, he only knew to hurry up and bring Tina to the Black Pearl while he still had time.

Otherwise, it is difficult to predict what will happen next...... Well?!

As he ran, Blackjack's body suddenly stopped, and he looked at Tina in his hand in disbelief, "You, won't you?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly let go and moved a hundred meters away in an instant, looking at the petite Tina in horror.

This, this, doesn't it mean that it is okay to take people away at the moment when the forbidden object leaves?

How can this happen?

If he's not mistaken, there's an extremely terrifying distortion going on that little girl's body - it's too bad, Boss Isabelo, it's not that I don't want to complete the task, it's really the task you arranged that it can't be completed at all!

"Tina, hate you."

The moment she looked up, Tina's eyes turned from red to pitch black, and she stretched out her little finger to point at Black Jack, with a rare smile on her face. It's just that this smiling face, which is enough to be called a bright smile on other girls, looks extremely weird and terrifying on her face.

Rumble!

Before Blackjack could react, an invisible force restrained him, slammed him to the ground, and sank deep under the stone slab.

Hmm, damn it!

Blackjack clenched his teeth, and the extraordinary power on his body exploded to break free from that power, and instantly ejected and flew out.

Rumble!

After only a hundred meters of movement, he was once again controlled by another new force and smashed into the stone slab.

Blackjack broke free again and flew straight out, without the slightest intention of stopping.

He had to admit that he was no match for that girl, the first time he broke free from the restraints he used only half of his strength, and the second time he used seventy percent of his extraordinary strength.

Rumble!

Well, it's nine!

If he continues like this, I'm afraid that he will soon have to use the Origin Amplification Extraordinary Power.

It's just that Blackjack is worried that he won't be able to escape Tina's control until he runs out of power......

……

……

At the same time, Wayne, who was waiting for the Joker's fate to be pronounced at the door of the Secret Division, only felt that the scene in front of him suddenly changed, as if he was instantly pulled into a dark space, and the whole world became dark, silent, cold, and lonely.

Such a familiar and unfamiliar scene, Wayne doesn't know how many times he has experienced it since he came to this world.

For example, when the Lord of Despair, the Lord of Dawn, and the Demon Clown first met, he had all experienced the dark world, and it was somewhat strange.

This time, it should be the clown's ghost.

Unexpectedly, the pit was chosen to come and go, and in the end, he was chosen as the lucky audience.

"Brother......" In the darkness, an ethereal voice sounded from nowhere.

Well?

The voice just now, it wasn't even "Good evening, young Mr. Wizard"?

Brother?

Damn Leonard, you have lived for an unknown number of years, and you can still scream?

"Brother......

Wayne was stunned, but this time he heard clearly.

A girl's voice?

"Brother, will you take me out of here?"

Tina?!

Although it was different from the tone of the white-haired girl's usual speech, it was indeed Tina's voice.

"You, Tina?"

"Brother, I've recovered completely, really...... Can you help me talk to my mother? ”

Wayne looked at the dark world around him, "Tina, I'm Wayne, Wayne Lovet!" ”

"Brother, I really want to get out of here......"

Wayne: "Tina......"

No response, what the hell is going on?

Is that voice Tina, or is it a prank by the Joker?

"Brother, it's so dark and cold here...... I miss you so much, I miss my father, my mother......"

"Tina, is that you?" Wayne shouted around again.

"Brother......

"Tina, Tina?!"

Well?

The darkness in front of Wayne's eyes instantly dissipated, and he regained his sight...... , what's that?

I saw the clown's ugly face sticking to his face, and said in a strange tone: "Oh~ Look at what I found, a hateful bastard who wanders while watching the show." Do you have an opinion about my performance? Youngster. ”

Wayne: "......"

Seemingly, like, probably, maybe...... He's going to die this time!

"Aren't you going to speak either?" The clown gestured with the short knife in his hand, dangling it in front of Wayne's eyes, his eyes gradually becoming fierce, "You dare to ignore my performance, unforgivable!" ”

Swish!

When!

A black ray of light knocked off the clown's dagger.

The clown looked at the short knife at his feet with a gloomy face, and Wayne with a look of happiness in his eyes, before turning his head to look straight at Nifa in mid-air.

"Oh? Are you ready to fight me? A woman with a taboo? ”

"Not really." Nefa shook his head, the magic seal just now seemed to consume a lot of her strength, and the bow of the ship in his hand seemed to be aimed at the clown, "However, I believe that your sequence is below it." ”

Originally, she wanted to wait, but seeing the inquisitor uniform that Wayne was wearing, she really didn't want the scene from seventeen years ago to happen again.

Sequence ......

The clown seemed to be amused by her words, and couldn't help but cover his face with his hands and laugh, "Hee-hee, hahaha...... sequences, someone would define their role according to the sequence of taboos, hee-hee-ha-ha......"

"Isn't it?" A trace of doubt flashed in Nifa's eyes, according to the records of the Kingdom Library, the power and effect of the taboo in the 0 sequence are much greater than those in the 1 sequence.

As the question was spoken, the clown laughed louder and crazier, echoing his laughter throughout the area he had designated for the theater.

"Hee-hee-ha-ha...... Ga?! ”

The smile on the clown's face froze instantly, and he jerked in the direction of Basil's neighborhood, as if something was attracting him.

"Tina......

At this moment, the information on the panel in Wayne's mind jumped wildly, flashing a message almost every two seconds.
