After answering Wu Heng's words, Ben began to recall the girl again,

It was she who gave him the faith to fight against Pennywise the Clown.

This is also something that Wu Heng is willing to see, the best way to overcome fear is faith, and there are two kinds of most extreme beliefs: one is infatuation, and the other is hatred.

As long as one of them is occupied, that person must be a crazy person.

Ben remembered the love poems he had written, the shy love poems that were not signed.

He has always hidden his love for Beverly well.

But others could tell if they looked closely, from the fact that he was always careful to keep a certain distance from her, and that he never accidentally touched her hand or arm to take his breath away.

And every time I see Beverly's deliberate dress, I can find, oh, that kind and cute fat Ben, I like that girl.

It's a pity that he's a nobody, who would pay attention to a fat wretched kid!

How many days and nights,

He not only shy avoids each other, but also deliberately approaches each other under longing, and the love of a teenager is so contradictory.

It's just that later, this love ended.

Ben didn't even know when it had ended, and he struggled to remember,

Was it shortly after they separated?

Or when Beverly tells him that she has someone she likes?

Or was it when he forgot about her?

Anyway, he couldn't tell the difference, and the postcards he had been mailing were so broken, he forgot everything.

He just subconsciously treasured the postcard, and subconsciously told him that the paper was precious, just like people subconsciously protect themselves and fear pain.

It's like the coral reefs that jut out of the water at low tide, connecting together rather than separating islands.

But he still has many vague memories that are gradually coming back to life when the tide recedes completely.

As long as he wanted to dive down and see Beverly's face clearly, he would see an annoying picture:

That's the purple starling that returns to New England every spring.

A large flock of birds squeezed around on power lines, trees, and rooftops, and the sky was filled with their hoarse courtship calls throughout the spring. The sight kept coming back to him, strange and uncomfortable, like a noise covering Beverly's face.

For a moment, he even saw the white paint on the bird's face, and the blood-red beak on the bird's beak.

Oh, clown bird!

Wu Heng looked at the more and more strong belief revealed on himself, and felt very satisfied.

Root. Hanscombe, whether in the first plot or the second plot, is the smarter one.

In the plot, Mike, a black man who has kept his memories because he has been staying in Derry Town. Hanlon, after calling them one by one, and awakening their memories with the scar of the oath in the palm of his hand, they decide to return to the town of Delhi and fulfill the vow they made as a child.

Pennywise the Clown is also 27 years later, and the town of Derry is signaling.

"Go home!" It's waiting for them.

In the process of their return, several of them were confronted with the monster that had been transformed into their own greatest fears and regrets.

For Ben, there is nothing more regrettable than first love.

As the memory cleared, Ben also found the love that was churning in his mind, and he still loved the girl.

"Very well, let's get started!"

Syllable~!

Wu Heng's right hand snapped his fingers, and Yu Er's ability to hit the wall was activated.

Ben's environment changed, and it was as if he had returned to Derrytown, to the original library, to the place where Pennywise had first found clues.

This is where Ben's fear begins, and Wu Heng sent him here.

Ben saw a turtle drawn in chalk on the bookshelf, but he felt that the world was spinning, so he closed his eyes tightly and opened them, and found that it was not a turtle at all, but the texture of the wooden frame was stained with a scar and corroded a little.

With his hands in his pockets, he surveyed his surroundings.

The library hasn't changed, and the lines are still as much to him as ever, and like a well-designed stone building, this library is also very good at drawing the gaze of its gaze into contradictions.

The hardness of the stone is balanced with the meticulousness of the door arches and thin stone columns, which are solid and neat, but at the same time appear slender.

This sense of contradiction, which keeps it from being ugly, makes people can't help but think.

Ben only wanted to see the glass walkway connecting the library to the children's hall, where he had stored his memories, and he wanted to go around the hallway to the front door, but he would always be obscured by the heavy stone walls of the library.

His boots didn't know when they got wet.

Reminiscing about the past makes him feel heartbroken and sad, but it also finds it interesting.

After navigating a glass walkway, a spherical glass lamp hangs high, emitting a soft warm yellow glow.

He walked into the halo, and a memory struck him, and the force was so strong that he almost fainted.

It's not like a punch or a slap in the face, but a strange feeling of overlapping time, a feeling that can only be called a 'sense of déjà vu'.

He'd felt this way before, but never before, and he stood there for a moment, feeling as if he had really lost himself in time, forgetting for a moment whether he was 38 or 11.

Wu Heng sat on the prayer seat in the church, looking at Ben's eyes that had lost their luster, Ben fell into the treacherous wall, and his facial expression kept changing.

He pulled out a video camera and shot it at Ben.

Then he wiped the palm-sized worn-out turtle shell in his hand again with a wet towel, as if he was wiping an antique artwork worth hundreds of millions.

Then he flipped it in his hand and looked back and forth.

He couldn't see anything, and he even tried to bite it with his teeth.

The turtle shell was clearly left with tooth marks, two tooth marks one centimeter wide, covering the puppy's tooth marks, leaving only the middle of the tooth marks, deep sharp canine tooth holes.

Wu Heng even felt that he had tasted a bad breath.

It should have come from the Bichon Frise called Pete.

But it also proves that at least the material of this turtle shell is an ordinary turtle shell.

In terms of efficacy, Wu Heng did not feel that it contained the ability to exorcise ghosts.

Could it really be that he was overthinking, and that it was all just a coincidence?

But Wu Heng never believed in coincidences!

Coincidence itself means accident, it means instability, I don't know how many times I failed, and eventually a coincidence will appear.

Then people call it a 'miracle'.

Just as in this world, Pennywise the Clown has been around for millions of years.

During this time, countless humans have fought against the Joker.

Even the Ma Spirits have been helping from beginning to end, but they have never succeeded before, and the process of eliminating the clown has failed for millions of years.

Even if Mike stays in town. Hanlon, the ritual of defeating the clown, which he called from the tribal accounts of the primitive inhabitants of the ancient town of Delhi, and the vase-like vessel, were also just a joke.

It was a deliberate pleasure left by the clown, and the primitive inhabitants never succeeded, but were all killed.

The so-called ritual of defeating the clown is more like a ritual of 'worshipping' the clown.

It's just in the plot,

Although the ritual fails, the protagonists discover that as long as they are not afraid of the clown, they will weaken the clown.

They really overcame their fear and defeated the clown.

All this is too much of a coincidence, so coincidental that Wu Heng doesn't even believe that this protagonist group can succeed again in this real world.

After all, he also came to this world, like a butterfly with wings stirred, the world has changed slightly, and he has affected Ben.

So he has to steer Ben in the direction that is in his interest.

"Pennywise's heart!"

Wu Heng stretched out his right hand and gently stroked his chest, where it was quiet, only the life box existed.

His gaze returned to the turtle shell, ready to wait for Ben to wake up, and then go to detain the evil and test it with the evil one.

If he could, he wanted Ben to experience all his fears, and portrayed him as a protagonist who was the equivalent of his previous life, the kind of protagonist who was reborn and returned, and who could completely ignore his fears and go straight to the Yellow Dragon.

Pity.

Ben is a bit smart, he has a deep understanding of reality, and it is not easy to shape.

However, Wu Heng also has a qualified candidate.

"Smack~!"

Wu Heng was thinking about it, when a snapping of his fingers came from the door.

The sound was exactly the same as the snapping of his fingers when he sent Ben into the Tricky Wall Illusion.

It's as if someone recorded it and re-played it.

"Targeted!"

Wu Heng's face sank, he pinched the turtle shell tightly, and the ability to control his emotions was quickly used, regulating his fear.

Ben stood under the halo and rubbed his head.

The library was still the same quiet, save for the occasional whisper, the soft sound of librarians stamping books or overdue notices, and the rustle of flipping through newspapers and magazines.

He continued to walk, walking across the wide linoleum floor, the red and black patterns on the floor almost worn away.

He was as careful as ever to keep his shoes from making noise, because the center of the library was domed, and any sound would be amplified and draw attention to others.

The spiral staircase leading to the library is still there, flanked by the horseshoe-shaped main table, but there is an additional fence elevator in the library. Ben was relieved by the new elevator, he finally saw the change from here, and he didn't fall into lost time.

At the same time, the scenery in Wu Heng's eyes has also changed.

The seat under the buttocks disappeared, and the weightlessness made him stand up involuntarily, and the red and solemn environment in the church completely disappeared.

What catches his eye is a library, the scene of this library, he glanced at it in the movie, combined with the memory that he also chose to use Ben when he controlled Yu Er, to create the scene of the library, although he couldn't see Ben's memory.

Pennywise the Clown!

This name appeared in Wu Heng's heart.

Apart from it, Wu Heng could no longer think of anyone else who could send out the same snap of his fingers and send him into Yu Er's ability.

This may not be the ability of Yu Er, only part of it.

It's an invasion, an invasion between hallucinations!

Wu Heng looked around, the librarian was busy sitting on the desk, she raised her head to look at Wu Heng.

This is a young girl, very beautiful,

Light blue eyes swept over Wu Heng, and then drifted away indifferently, she was a girl who was severely myopic and often stayed in the library, basically like this.

If the eyes are normal, when you see Wu Heng's makeup similar to that of an anime character, you will always take a few more looks, just like the high school girl next to her who pretended to be looking for a book, and turned her head from time to time to quietly glance at Wu Heng, with a shy look.

It was also a young girl, about seventeen years old, with dark blonde hair pinned back to reveal her pretty high school girl's face.

When she looked at Wu Heng, her face was flushed.

"Handsome and mature priest, God, help me!"

Her eyes seemed to say this kind of thing, this is the budding of a girl.

"It's such a real illusion, as if it has been multiplied on the ability of Yu Er!"

Wu Heng couldn't help but praise this illusion in his heart.

He looked down at the turtle shell he was holding.

At this moment, he finally discovered the function of this turtle shell.

When he appeared in the hallucination, the turtle shell also appeared in the hallucination, and at first there was no change.

It wasn't until Wu Heng controlled and adjusted his emotions that the effect of the turtle shell appeared when the sense of fear returned to zero.

In his field of vision, two images appeared.

One is a library in a fantasy, and the other is a church in reality. The two overlap each other, just like the app page in the phone, which can be switched and exited at any time.

This made his heart more stable.

Wu Heng even saw the original face of the girl with a flushed face and pretending to be looking for a book, but peeking at him because of the turtle shell in his hand.

I saw that the girl's face was painted white with oil paint, her eyes were sunken, her bald head was shiny, and the red lip gloss on her mouth was scratched all the way to her ears.

It looks like a geisha in Japan.

On the fat body, wearing an extra-small school uniform, the fat on the arms and calves is strangled with deep flesh marks.

This scene only made Wu Heng feel funny and diaphragmatic.

He really couldn't stand Pennywise pretending to be shy, wearing a female college uniform skirt, and peeking at him with a crush from time to time.

Maybe the neon people will like this, after all, they also like the makeup of geisha.

However, the palm of his hand protected the turtle shell he was holding in the palm of his hand, and it could see through the illusion and disguise of Pennywise the clown, and it seemed that the hemp spirits had suppressed the treasure itself.

Wu Heng turned his head to look for it, and he found Ben who was walking up the stairs. Hanscom, so he strode after him.

The clown girl who was looking for a book saw Wu Heng leaving, and with the rapid pace of stepping out of the phantom, she bent her waist and hit the ground with her heels, ran away from the bookshelf, and disappeared into the glass corridor around the corner.

Ben walked to the second floor and came to the library area, and he looked at the corridor opposite, and at the top of the stairs blocked by the corridor, the body of the boy who had lost his head was vivid.

He stopped.

"Sir, do you need my help?"

A voice came from behind his elbow, startling him and turning back to find it the library assistant.

That's what the girl's badge reads.

This position has been in place since 1958, and it is held by high school students, with a small salary, and it is used to help some work-study children, which is a pleasant job.

"It's okay, thank you." Ben responded, and then added inexplicably, "I'm looking for my son." ”

"Oh? What's his name? Maybe I've seen her. The girl smiled and said, "I know almost all the children here. ”

"His name is Ben. Hanscombe, but I didn't see him. ”

"Then may I ask him what he looks like, and if I see him, I can tell him."

"Ugh!" Ben started to feel uncomfortable, he really wished he hadn't panicked, "He's very strong."

Ben was describing when a voice came.

"Ben!"

Wu Heng stepped on the spiral staircase and walked up.

It's too late to divide the chapters, and the two chapters are one (ω)

(End of chapter)
