Chapter 45 The City of Peace
Chapter 45 The City of Peace
The smile, combined with the surrounding blood, was extremely chilling!
At least the young man next to him already felt his legs go weak!
The clown then gave a gentlemanly bow, turned, and left through the floor-to-ceiling window.
The young man's voice trembled and became hoarse as he asked, "Why did he turn around?!"
"They probably activated the flash."
?
"If it's not 'I want you,'" Shen Ye said, standing on the rooftop. "Then it must be."
He paused, then said, "I'll kill you."
"How can you still be so calm!"
The young man, already breathless and pale, said, "I can't take it anymore..."
"This place is terrifying."
Shen Ye remained calm: "Before I jump... could you drop some equipment for me?"
"..."
Youth: "Are you even human?"
He looked down from the rooftop, gritting his teeth as his legs trembled.
Shen Ye checked the time.
"That clown is fast, he's almost there, are you sure you're not going to jump?"
The young man gritted his teeth and said.
"Why are you still rushing me! Do you even have a conscience?"
Shen Ye smiled without saying a word.
This guy said he was going to jump, but he didn't actually have that idea at all, otherwise the death line would have been extremely thick by now.
What is this guy waiting for?
And at this time.
The sound of chainsaws could be heard from the rooftop corridor behind them, and the clown seemed to slow his pace on purpose, accompanied by his eerie, hissing laughter.
This clown is truly bizarre; his speed is comparable to teleportation!
Upon opening the door, a clown covered in blood... licked his lips and stared at the young man with a terrifying gaze and a gaping mouth.
"They're here."
The young man seemed to be terrified! He gritted his teeth and glanced down at the deserted street below the rooftop, where only a cold wind blew.
Just as I was about to start jumping down like that black-haired woman from before!
next moment!
The clown suddenly appeared behind the young man with incredible speed!
"Hehehe!"
"Buzzing!"
A piercing laugh and the sound of a chainsaw rang out at the same time!
But Shen Ye didn't move... he didn't need to lift a finger!
because.
The clown's chainsaw has been firmly held down by the young man!
The fear that had been on the young man's face vanished completely!
He only had a long needle in his hand, which pierced through the clown's heart!
"Finally! We've been fooled!"
The youth showed no fear, only ruthlessness!
"Die!"
The clown screamed in terror! His whole body began to struggle like a balloon!
The young man's expression changed slightly!
It almost flung me off!
He gripped the long needle tightly!
But unexpectedly, even with his heart pierced, the Joker still possessed immense strength! He rammed into him with tremendous force!
"Bang!"
He was suddenly thrown five or six meters away, and slammed hard against the railing, bending it in the process!
The clown had already swollen up, his trembling hands gripping the long needle, ready to pull it out by force!
The young man coughed up blood, but ignoring his injuries and pain, he roared, "Don't let it pull out that needle! That's the only thing that can kill it; if it's pulled out, all our efforts will be wasted..."
But he hadn't finished speaking.
He was already stunned, because the clown lay stiffly on the ground, and Shen Ye's hand, which was pressed on the long needle in its heart, did not waver at all...
The clown struggled desperately, letting out piercing screams, but to no avail!
"boom!"
Its body expanded rapidly like a balloon!
The next moment, it exploded!
There was no flying blood and flesh, only a piercing shriek and a pile of dried skin left after the explosion! The long needle also vanished!
Shen Ye then released his grip.
youth:"......"
Is this guy really that fast and has such a steady hand?
He struggled to his feet, and after confirming the clown's death, he let out a long sigh.
"Finally got this guy sorted out, thanks."
"No need to thank me."
Shen Ye said, "You acted quite well just now."
"There's nothing I can do." The young man sighed.
"The clown, one of the most cunning horrors in this city... It feeds on fear, and it won't take the bait if there's no fear."
Shen Ye wasn't surprised; from the moment the young man came out, he knew that the other party had no intention of committing suicide.
He said, "But fear shouldn't be something you can fake."
The young man coughed. "That's why I came here."
He said shyly, "Because... I'm afraid of heights."
Shen Ye gave a thumbs up.
Dude, I have an idea.
"Although I didn't expect there to be other people here, I'm already in a bind. If the clown gets away, who knows how long it will take to find him?"
"Thank you anyway."
The young man extended his hand: "My name is Lu Buchu."
Is Lu not coming out?
Your parents must have researched this name.
"And this must be your first time here..." Lu Chubu didn't seem to have many doubts about Shen Ye's background.
Shen Ye did not deny it.
"This place is called the City of Peace and Repose."
"I've been in this city for half a year now, and only after arriving did I discover that it's full of terrifying characters, ghosts, and monsters..."
"Everyone in the city wants to escape."
"...But no one can leave. I wasn't exaggerating. Many people come here, but they don't last long before choosing to commit suicide."
indeed.
No one cleaned up the city. You could see a lot of traces from the rooftop, and even on a balcony not far away, there was a rotting corpse that had been swinging on a swing by its neck.
"Wait a moment."
Lu Chubu squatted down next to the clown's corpse, reaching out to use a knife to cut open the other's skin, seemingly searching for something.
"Found it."
He pulled out three round, white coins.
"This is Anling Coin. Every time a monster in this city is killed, this is what you get. And it is the key to surviving in this city, or even escaping."
Lu hesitated for a moment: "I'll give it all to you. After all, it wouldn't have died without your last blow."
One is enough.
Shen Ye simply took one as a sample, gently stroking it, and could feel a strange chill.
"After all, you must have been preparing for a long time, searching for the Joker's whereabouts, and it seems that killing each of the city's terrors requires a specific method or tool, which is what you provided."
This time, Lu was the one who was surprised.
"You can tell that."
Shen Ye stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the zipline in the corner: "You've prepared a backup plan. Even if you don't manage to kill the clown, you can still escape."
Lu Buchu: "...I won't use that thing unless absolutely necessary."
"Furthermore, although you have a weapon that is more convenient than the long needle, you still choose to use the long needle. Also... when you just took out the knife, I saw the bag on your waist, which contained other strange items."
"Carrying such a bunch of stuff in such a dangerous city...that shows they have an irreplaceable role."
Lu Buchu was stunned by what he heard.
"you...."
Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ye interrupted him.
"There's one more thing."
Shen Ye suddenly turned around and looked into the distance:
"I wonder if you've prepared anything to kill ghosts or monsters?"
Lu Buchu was taken aback: "?"
"What ghost? Where did this ghost come from?"
Shen Ye's gaze, however, was directed toward the room where the clown had just killed the black-haired woman. Only the corner that the clown had just erased was visible through the French windows, revealing a glimpse of what was inside.
"The corpse of that black-haired woman..."
"It's gone."
