“Three days ago?!”
“Do not be so surprised. I can also tell you a piece of bad news. Tonight the ritual will be completed. He will sacrifice your friend, sacrifice the remaining anomalies in this sewer. If he succeeds in summoning, then probably everyone in the whole town will have to learn how to swim. So friend, you are right. We indeed need to speed up.”
Igris’s expression was not very good.
The clown currently had no need to deceive her, but if what he said was true, then now it really was a matter of tight time and heavy task, and there might not even be a chance to find Ling first.
“Also, that Second Moon… what exactly is it?”
“The clown cannot answer you this question, because the clown also does not know…” The clown pinched his nose, making a harsh sound, and suddenly began laughing loudly.
Laughter was very contagious, but Igris could not laugh at this moment, nor did she understand why he was laughing.
Until, along with his laughter, a second laugh also abruptly came out.
At the corner directly ahead of Igris, several figures slowly approached, and one of them was even laughing wildly the whole time, almost overlapping with the clown’s laughter.
It was cultists, and there were many of them.
“Found you! The killer who killed our brothers!”
The leading black-robed cultist saw Igris, or rather, they had come specifically to find Igris.
The brothers they spoke of were probably that lone cultist who had been shot by Igris.
How ironic.
Madmen who did not care at all about harming others would actually come seeking revenge because of the death of their own kind.
Igris did not have much ammunition.
Killing that cultist had used three bullets, so she currently had only five bullets left, while the other side had six people, so she would even need to kill two people with one shot.
Of course, Igris actually did not need to act, because she had outside help.
“Haha… hahahahahaha!”
The clown’s laughter grew more and more wild, and that cultist who was laughing along finally could not bear the stimulation and directly collapsed to the ground.
The others did not look at him, because they knew that people contaminated by the clown were long beyond saving, so they did not waste time on this either.
Their purpose was to stop Igris, or directly kill her.
But perhaps they should have paid a bit more attention to their own companions.
“Good child, there is a reward.”
The clown’s laughter stopped, and his figure also disappeared from where he stood, suddenly appearing beside the cultist who had collapsed on the ground.
The remaining five did not hesitate, and did not even bother with the clown, directly pouncing toward Igris.
Under circumstances where vision is limited, the probability of hitting a target with ranged fire is very low.
It was best to wait until they all got close before shooting. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
But the clown clearly would not give them this chance.
“Hey! You! Do not harm my friend!”
The clown’s piercing shriek came, and he directly tossed a strange box before the cultists, blocking their path.
But they completely ignored this box and directly charged toward Igris, and the cultist walking at the very front also came right beside the box.
“Aha!” The clown excitedly clapped.
The next moment, the box suddenly exploded, and the enormous blast wave directly sent the nearest cultist staggering.
But it was not over.
From the box suddenly popped a figure whose lower half was a spring, clearly the cultist who had just fallen to the ground.
The clown had stuffed him into the box.
Jack-in-the-box, a common trick of the clown, but what this box could bring was not only fright.
“Do not mind him! Just charge through!”
The cultist behind forcefully pushed his companion in front, who seemed dazed and frightened by the box, but the next moment, he was tightly hugged by the arm.
“What are you doing! Let go of me!”
The cultist whose arm was grabbed was instantly startled, and without hesitation raised the machete in his hand, chopping toward the arm grabbing him.
But before he could, that cultist’s body suddenly began to swell, and in an instant split into pieces, directly exploding.
Blood and shattered bone were pushed out by the impact force, shooting onto his body, smashing many bloody holes into him.
“Do not mind me! You keep going!”
He roared madly, but under everyone’s gaze, his body also began to swell, and continued to explode.
As if it were an infectious disease, the exploding bodies spread the virus to other people’s bodies, and other people’s bodies also exploded one after another, until all six people turned into blood foam and disappeared.
Everything happened too fast, so fast that Igris had not even taken out her sidearm.
“Friend! This is the firework the clown gives you! How is it!” The clown once again came to Igris’s side and pinched his comical nose, laughing loudly.
“A very good performance. I like it.”
Igris clapped perfunctorily, but the clown looked very pleased, because he rarely received praise.
The employees of Red Lake Amusement Park would not be so friendly.
As for the tourists?
They were the fireworks. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
“Friend! You are my true friend! The clown will remember you!”
Being remembered by the clown would not be a bad thing.
After all, if he did not treat Igris as an enemy, he would provide very great help in many situations.
For example, perhaps she really would return to Red Lake Amusement Park one day, and at that time, the clown would probably be her best guide.
“Enough idle chat. They have already noticed something is wrong, and even your defection has probably already been learned. To avoid complications, we had best reach the destination as early as possible.”
Although Igris still could not run, this was a physical issue, and there was not much she could do about it.
“Hey friend! I found a shortcut!” The clown suddenly picked up the cultists’ masks from the ground and put one on his face.
“Look! I am exactly like them!”
“Not exactly. Where is the shortcut you mentioned?”
The clown, wearing the mask, came to the edge of the wall and began feeling around.
Just when Igris thought he might find some hidden door, he directly punched the wall.
Afterward, the wall instantly collapsed, revealing a narrow tunnel.
“Hehe! Nothing can hide from the clown!”
“This really is…” Igris stepped forward, glanced at the strange tunnel, and imitating the clown, put the mask on her face.
“Do you think it is better for us to kill our way in directly, or sneak in?”
The clown touched his chin, then said quietly with a serious face.
“The clown likes sneaking in, to give them a fright!”
“Then we are quite similar.”
Igris directly tossed the robe scattered on the ground, stained with unidentified liquid, to the clown, and draped a robe over herself as well.
“Put it on, and we are with them.”
“Aha! Disguise! The clown is best at this!”
The clown took the cloak and very happily draped it over himself.
The next moment, his bloated figure rapidly thinned down, completely becoming an ordinary cultist, so much so that no great difference could be told.
Just as he said, the clown was best at disguise.
“I swear, you look more popular like this than just now.”
“Hey! You are not allowed to say that about the clown!”
