These seven ordinary middle-aged people looked around curiously.

In the present. Under the leadership of Hanscombe, they walked in front of Wu Heng.

"Priest.".

"You're here!"

Wu Heng checked their names one by one from his memory according to their appearance.

On the far left, Bill, who has been guilty of being killed by the Joker while his brother was going to look for a paper boat. Dembulo'.

This is followed by:

Afraid of the perverted father's heroine 'Beverly. Marsh'.

Fearful of doll clowns in themselves, is a lover of the same gender'Richie. Tozil'.

Eddie, who was deceived by his mother into having asthma, had been using peppermint as an asthma medicine for many years. Casbulak'.

Never left the town of Derry's black 'Mike. Hanlon'.

And in the second plot, because he knew that he couldn't get rid of his fear and didn't want to be a burden to his friends, he chose to commit suicide. Yuris'.

Because of Wu Heng's intervention, and then reunited with his companions in Delhi Town, he has not chosen to commit suicide until now.

But this man,

It's a key object of observation.

If Stanley can't get through the psychological difficulties, then Wu Heng, as the only survivor in Derry Town who can still provide fear for the Joker, Wu Heng doesn't mind sending him to hell.

And Ben. Hanscombe, the former little fat man.

The seven of them were the ones who forced the clown into a deep sleep 27 years ago.

"Father, when are we going to town, I'm going to kill that disgusting clown with my own hands!" Mike, a black man, asked impatiently.

He has lived in Derry for forty years, and his affection for the town is the deepest, and his hatred for the clown is also the deepest, so deep that it transcends fear.

The other six also cast their eyes.

They have long since abandoned their innocence and naivety, and even more so their simple but precious sense of justice, and have long since succumbed to reality.

Without the fighting spirit and belief to help each other and fight against evil, they actually want to turn a blind eye.

But alas,

The destruction of Derry Town is a warning to them that even if they choose to succumb, it is still impossible to survive, and the Joker will not let them go.

This has instead provoked the primitive instinctive ferocity of human beings.

"Quite simply, you need to take a faith test."

"As long as you pass, you can go immediately."

Wu Heng snapped his fingers, and the seven of them fell into an illusion like the previous candidates.

He didn't want to give these people too much time to prepare mentally.

However, Wu Heng no longer needs to test the fear in the hearts of these people, because the answer has already been given in the plot.

Bill's fear is his decaying and shriveled brother in his yellow cloak pajamas.

Beverly is the demon who fears domestic violence against her, the evil spirit that her father turned into who took possession of her, and the blood that represents the moon tide in the bathroom.

Including the dead children in the water storage tower, the clown strolling out the window, the balloon floating against the wind, the mummy, the leper under the porch, the burning parents, the twisted woman.

Wu Heng stuffed all the fears of the seven of them into their heads, stimulating their nerves.

"Don't, go away, go away, my disgusting woman!"

Stanley, who was supposed to commit suicide, reacted quite violently after falling into a hallucination.

He instantly cried out loud and retreated frantically.

In reality, he suddenly took out a pencil sharpener with a blackened blade from his pocket and slashed his wrist fiercely when his eyes were dull.

"Quick, medical team, go and save people!"

Bob saw this sudden situation next to him, and turned his head to look at the palm of his hand that was still touching Yu Er, and continued to observe, Wu Heng, who was motionless, he hurriedly assisted in arranging.

It's just that

This time, Bob guessed Wu Heng's thoughts wrong.

Wu Heng didn't think about saving people at all.

He gave Stanley a chance to survive, but what Stanley hid, the blade of the quenching medicine, meant that although he didn't want to commit suicide before, he was also ready to commit suicide.

His first reaction to fear was to end his life.

Now that Stanley has made up his mind, Wu Heng decided to fulfill him.

The palm of his hand touched Biao Er, controlling the energy of it to concentrate a part towards Stanley.

Stanley's pupils dilated rapidly, his nostrils contracted, and his heart pounded, and blood burst out again from the arteries in his wrist.

"Quick, seal the wound."

"The heart stopped, pacemaker, pacemaker."

"The wounded are unconscious, and the signs of life are gone!"

"It's dead, the wounded are dead, these pupils seem to be scared to death."

In the process of the medical team's rescue, Stanley had been completely frightened to death by Wu Heng's heightened fear.

Wu Heng even changed the image of the clown in the end, avoiding the fear of Stanley's death and flowing to the source of the clown.

"Die and die, and I will fulfill you."

Wu Heng frowned, and snorted coldly in his heart, strictly speaking, it was indeed Stanley who he killed and saved.

There is no protagonist aura, no damnation.

Wu Heng killed a protagonist so easily.

"Falk Squid, you're just a goddamn clown, stupid clown, no one will be afraid of you." Mike suddenly shouted, and was the first to come to his senses.

Wu Heng was not surprised by this result, Mike's hatred for the clown that he had accumulated for 27 years was already close to qualitative change.

Next, what surprised Wu Heng was.

Mike, who came to his senses, burst into tears when he saw Stanley lying on the ground motionless, and reached out to hold the palms of Ben and Bill on both sides of himself.

Even though they lost their eyes and frantically broke free, even scratching the back of his hand,

Mike also held on to it, not letting go of it.

He wants his partners to feel his support and feel the warmth from friendship.

This scene,

Touched by the staff present, everyone even folded their hands together and prayed for the remaining five.

With this support,

It only took Ben and Bill a minute before they came to their senses.

Mike only felt that the wound on his hand was not in vain,

He hugged the two of them and encouraged each other, and the crowd even quietly applauded.

Only Wu Heng's expression was a little strange,

Because the actual situation may be in contrast to everyone's imagination.

Because from Wu Heng's point of view,

Ben and Bill, who are fighting against the Joker in the Illusion, would have wanted to each have the courage to fight back against the Joker.

But all of a sudden, they felt something intangible, imprisoning their arms, preventing them from moving or attacking.

Trying to break free didn't work.

I could only watch the clowns, approaching step by step, torturing them.

Under this pressurized fear, they erupted with the power of desperate belief to break free from the illusion.

In this case,

Mike's behavior is more like a laggard player who beats his teammates.

The key is that he is still immersed in self-touching, and he still doesn't know it.

The intensity of Wu Heng's terrifying illusion on these seven people was not as difficult as the contestants.

Because he knows the targets of these people's fears, and knows what kind of fear scenes the clown will cast on them.

So you just need targeted training.

If you really want to use the kind of contestants, the illusion level that has reached the limit of the second place, these people are afraid that they will be really scared to death.

The remaining four members of the protagonist group soon came to their senses, leaving only Eddie, who suffers from fake asthma, still trapped in a fantasy and unable to break free.

Wu Heng frowned, checking Eddie's illusion,

And then

He suddenly understood why Eddie couldn't wake up.

In the illusion.

I saw Eddie crying and panting, bowing down and retreating sharply, he could barely breathe,

The heart is like an out-of-control engine in the chest, running wildly.

"Do you want me to trumpet for you, Eddie?"

The talking thing, the eyes were swollen, the skin on the forehead was torn open, revealing yellow mucus, and white bugs were twisting, and from time to time a mass of bugs fell on the nose with only the bridge of the nose remaining.

The falling worms crawled along the two dark red nasal tubes.

The lower lip of this thing, swollen like a liver, has no upper lip, the gums are exposed, and the skin is covered with rotten sores.

Its hand smashed the window and was burrowing into the room.

Unkempt hair, a strand of glass ballast, many small things in the dirty hair, in and out.

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, ho ho ~!"

"Bobby Blows"

"Give me ten cents, blow it for you, it's free, don't run Eddie."

The thing was about to tumble into the room, but Eddie was immobilized by asthma.

He remembered the test results he had gone to the hospital as an adult, he had never had asthma, and everything was a lie from his mother.

It was his mother, who was worried about the danger of running blindly, so she weaved the lie that he could not exercise vigorously, and the difficulty of breathing was simply his psychological effect.

Eddie picked up the fruit knife on the table, and kept giving himself mental hints that if he couldn't act, he would rather cut off the third calf than let this thing perform for him:

Trumpet!

finally

When the leper was stuck in the window, he took the hint and was able to move.

Eddie threw the fruit knife out and stuck it in the eye of the strange thing, then pulled the door open and ran out of the yard.

He's like an athlete,

Jumping over the rusty iron fence, I looked back, only to see the stuck monster.

Anger rises from the heart, and evil grows to the guts!

Eddie stopped, reached out and grabbed the iron fence, shaking and tearing off a long, rusty, sharp-edged iron bar.

"Blowing the trumpet?"

"Fake squid, Lao Tzu is the opposite, let's blow it for you first."

"It's free, too!"

Eddie held the piece of iron in both hands and slammed it into the lower half of the leper's body.

Then, Eddie came to his senses.

Although he was the last to wake up, Wu Heng still cast an admiring glance at him.

After all, the thing in his illusion, even Wu Heng felt that it was in response.

If this thing just shouts to kill you, to tear you apart, he doesn't care,

But it just wants to catch you and force you:

Trumpet.

With the disgusting, maggot-infested male face.

This kind of behavior is simply a bit frustrating.

"Okay, it seems that you have indeed prepared a lot recently, I thought it would take at least three times, but I didn't expect you to break through the fear in your heart in one time."

Wu Heng breathed a sigh of relief and praised the people who supported each other.

"Oh, Father, one time is enough."

The people of the protagonist group hooked their shoulders, looked at each other and smiled, and some replied with palpitations.

"Unfortunately, there is the most important one."

"This time is going to be the time to go to Delhi and get serious, guys."

Wu Heng stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground, looked at the six-person group, and then turned his head to stare at the seventeen candidates.

"The planet under your feet, whether it exists or dies, is tied to you."

Everyone's relaxed posture was restrained, and their expressions were duty-bound.

Wu Heng didn't expect that things could go so smoothly, five days earlier than he expected.

Even these six ordinary protagonists can pass the trial in one go.

He pinched his fingers and counted his plot time, and there were still 11 days left to return.

Due to the impact of the strange fish virus, passenger planes to Delhi town have been suspended, and many strange birds are hovering over the vicinity of Delhi to attack the flying objects.

And these people are ordinary people,

So he decided to set aside the last four days and drive to Delhi to wait for the last day to deal with the Joker.

In this way, even if there is an accident, as long as it can be delayed until the return time, he can leave safely.

Thinking of this, Wu Heng looked up at the blue sky,

The white clouds fluttered and seemed to be peaceful.

But Wu Heng's line of sight seemed to penetrate the sky and see the depths of the starry sky.

What he worries about is not what happens to this planet, but what comes from forces outside the universe.

"Bob, tell everyone that in seven days we will be deep into the town of Derry, where the virus has erupted, and face the fear."

Wu Heng, who had already returned to the tent, instructed Bob beside him.

"Okay, I'll go."

In the past few days, because of overwork, Bob has lost weight for a full two laps, and his face has the outline of his youth.

But the thought that it would only take another week to get rid of those horrible evil spirits made Bob feel a wave of energy.

For the next seven days.

Wu Heng left Yu Er in the camp and gave it an order.

The contestants and the protagonist group have to accept the illusion of Yu Er every day, and because they don't have Wu Heng's blessing, they also have a spiritual breakthrough, so they only need to be familiar with the changes of various fears all the time.

Especially the contestants, their minds have broken through the limit of Yu Er's illusion.

So if they want to enter the illusion world to exercise, they have to take a little bit of drugs and hallucinate themselves, so that they can be dragged into the trick wall.

Wu Heng went to the surrounding places again and arrested the evil spirits.

And from time to time, we borrow from the managers who do not act in some areas, and then issue some plans and measures to control the strange fish virus.

Seven days later,

Next door to the city of Omar, inside the Biological Institute of Fort Delosen.

Wu Heng, who was disguised as a gray-haired old man, reached out and swept away a pile of sealed test tubes on the table.

These tubes are filled with a green liquid.

In the container next to it, there are some specimens such as fish bones, scales, and lobster legs.

Wu Heng, who got these things, walked out of the research institute, took off his disguise, and entered a military camp again to arrange some things, and only after half an hour ended the seven-day trip.

Returned to camp in Florida.

"It's time, Father."

As soon as Wu Heng's car returned to the camp, Bob, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, hurriedly greeted him and reminded Wu Heng.

It can be seen that he can't wait.

"How's everyone's preparation?" Wu Heng nodded and asked.

"Everything was prepared, from the health status of the participants and the six experiencers, to the spare RV, protective clothing and other items, all kinds of items were arranged and checked no less than five times."

"Let's go!"

Wu Heng didn't enter the tent again to repair, he walked directly to the training place, put away Yu Er and the two evil spirits as statues, and turned back to get into the leading car at the front.

With his order, everyone quickly entered the car,

The convoy of long snakes lined up in the direction of Delhi Town.

Two days later.

"Take care of your protective clothing, and if you feel unwell, take the holy water I gave you immediately."

Wu Heng carried the Morning Star Hammer in his hand, hanging sticky green liquid and residual flesh, and turned his head to the people who were all carrying guns behind him.

After a long journey of 2,760 kilometers,

Everyone finally arrived at the outskirts of Delhi Town, and the convoy had been repatriated by Wu Heng.

Then he took the candidate and the protagonist group, a total of 23 people, into the town of Delhi.
