Chapter 175: Turtle Shell

When Wu Heng mentioned 'it', he released Yu Er.

Yu Er's trickery hit the wall, and instantly enveloped Ben, making him fall into the illusion that Wu Heng had woven for him.

As Ben himself said, there is a bubble of fear growing in his heart, and this bubble itself is the seed planted by Pennywise the Clown, the fruit of fear.

For clowns, it's a delicious delicacy, a wine that's aged over the years, just waiting to be opened.

This terrifying power from humans is likely to be transmitted by Pennywise to the Death Light Body in the Super Universe.

What Wu Heng had to do was to take advantage of the clown's failure to come, and first lift the table of 'Ben' and smash the aging jar.

Eat?

Get on the ground and eat the leftovers!

Come a little later, and he will clean up the leftovers.

Now the fear bubble in Ben's heart has been poked a hole by Wu Heng, and many things are the most terrifying only when they experience it for the first time.

The experience just now had nothing to do with Pennywise, it was an illusion created by Wu Heng.

The second meeting was hidden behind the statue of Jesus on the church platform, but now the sound of pushing the door was not Wu Heng's arrangement.

So both of them looked back.

A skinny leg of old-fashioned sneakers and black pants was the first to step through the door, followed by a thin body, an old man with a beard.

It's just an ordinary old man.

Wu Heng was relieved, but Ben's expression was slightly disappointed.

"Oh my God, Father Liszt, do you know what happened?"

The red-nosed old man, as soon as he entered the door, shouted loudly and approached.

"My dog is lost!"

"It must be because I scolded Melissa yesterday for that ugly woman, I come to pray, I come to thank."

The old man raised the broken dog leash in his hand, signaled to Wu Heng and Ben, and then put his hands firmly on his chest, facing the statue of Jesus on the stage, and muttered loudly to himself:

"Lord, I thank you! Yesterday I sinned in the flesh again, I cursed, I knew it was a sin, it should not be, I confessed my mistakes, but I came to give thanks, because all my sins, you have borne them for me on the cross, I have been forgiven, thank the Lord, in the holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ. ”

"Please let my Pete come back!"

Wu Heng was a little speechless, he was in a battle with the demon here, and he didn't know if this was a statue of Jesus or a bronze statue of the evil Buddha, after all, Yu Er was also there, he said softly:

"I think the Lord has forgiven you, maybe you should look back."

From the moment the old man entered, he was followed by a Bichon Frise.

It held a dead turtle shell in its mouth, and because the turtle shell was too heavy, it could only hold it for a while and rest for a while, and its mouth was occupied, and saliva flowed down the gap in the turtle shell and flowed to the ground.

That's why the old man kept shouting 'Pete', and he didn't respond.

When the old man heard this, he could not care to pray, so he hurriedly turned back, saw his beloved dog, and quickly stepped forward to tie it with a rope, threw aside the turtle shell in his mouth, and led the puppy away.

Wu Heng stared at this scene silently.

Puppies and tortoise shells.

I don't know if it's an accident, a warning, or an omen?

This puppy is very similar to a puppy in the plot.

That's the well house under 29 Nepott Street, and when the protagonist group goes, there are three doors that are "very scary", "a little scary", and "not scary at all".

In the door that was "not terrible at all", the little yellow dog was very similar to the dog led by the old man.

Wu Heng stepped forward and pinched the turtle shell stained with puppy saliva and picked it up with a tissue.

In this movie, the turtle appears many times, including the turtle toy of the protagonist when he was a child, the turtle swimming in the river when he encountered the clown, the turtle pattern pasted on the wall, and so on.

Wu Heng believed that there was interference from the Ma Spirits.

The red-nosed old man left, Wu Heng took out a ball of hand towels from his arms, wiped the turtle shell, and asked Ben:

"Do you remember that last feeling?"

"That anger!"

Ben seemed to have just recovered from the ups and downs of his emotions, and when he heard Wu Heng's words, he was full of surprise:

"I remember, Father, you just now. See those pictures of me too? ”

Ben didn't understand, wasn't this a hallucination, how did the priest see it?

"As you say, your heart is full of fear, like a ripening fruit of fear, and it's the best food for Pennywise."

"I'm just helping you experience it, cutting its fruit and releasing the juice, but it's still partially edible, which will make you even weaker when facing it."

"On the contrary, it feeds on fear and will be more powerful."

These words made Ben flinch a little, he had grown up, he was no longer the high-spirited teenager, and he already knew how to weigh gains and losses.

The clown in Derry Town is only active in Derry Town, he now lives in Hemington Town, and what does it have to do with him there.

As soon as he thought of this, the scar on his palm seemed to start to ache faintly again, and he recalled the residual warmth in his palm in the illusion just now.

"You've been targeted, and you can't solve the problem by running away."

"If you can face your fears, you can face Pennywise."

Wu Heng saw Ben's thoughts and emphasized.

These seven people are not only the fruits chosen by Pennywise the Clown, but also the people chosen by the Ma Spirits to clear the projection of 'it' on Earth.

This in itself is a game.

If anyone could make a clown look like a baby with a few words, the clown wouldn't have existed on Earth for millions of years.

"Father, the hallucination just now. Did you get it? Are you a messenger from God? ”

There was a glimmer of hope in Ben's eyes, and it was the hope of the thighs.

Wu Heng stopped the movement in his hand, raised the turtle shell in his hand, and said in a joking tone:

"No, I don't believe in God, and I wasn't sent by Him, but that doesn't make me a priest."

"Instead of believing in God, I should believe that it is hard enough to shoot Pennywise to death!"

Ben was a little depressed when he heard this, he only thought that Wu Heng was using the turtle shell in his hand that had been gnawed by a dog to tease God.

As everyone knows, Wu Heng is hinting.

To someone, hinting at his determination to deal with the clown, at least a little more security.

"Ben, believe in your own potential, just as you didn't know you were where you are today when you were a kid, you have enough potential to deal with Pennywise."

When Ben heard this, he always felt a little suspicious, he himself had no confidence in himself, but the priest in front of him didn't seem to be simple, at least the illusion just now could prove that he was not an ordinary person.

This is also the only person he can rely on at the moment.

"What's the matter, Ben, do you want to continue to go to the illusion to sharpen, in order to defeat that clown."

"Even though it was an illusion just now, if you can't overcome the fear in your heart first, it may become a reality, and when you overcome yourself, it is the time to defeat Pennywise."

"In addition, your love writing is good, I don't know if you are ghostwriting for others, or writing for the girl you like, with your current conditions, you should be able to be worthy of that girl."

Ben Wenyan quietly touched the postcard in his pocket, thinking back to Beverly's fiery red hair in the hallucination just now.

'Yes, he is no longer the humble little fat man, he is now worthy of that girl, both in shape and wealth. ’

"Please go on, Father, I want to have the power to defeat Pennywise, I don't want to be that little fat man anymore."

Ben said firmly.
