Phaseless Demon

In Zhuo Mingyu's description, after he bought two large ice creams with the clerk in front of the ice cream truck, he quickly turned his head to look at his daughter, and suddenly saw a huge clown standing beside her daughter. around.

It's a clown, but it's actually a guy in a red clown suit.

That may be the staff in the amusement park. After all, it is a place like an amusement park. There are indeed many people dressed in different colors, such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Little Witch, Bunny Girl, and even dressed up as Superman, Ultraman, There are Spiderman and Transformers, and the costumes are colorful and colorful.

Some people would hold a large bundle of balloons, or hold a bunch of trinkets and candies to sell. Children attracted by the colorful colors stepped forward one after another and circled around these exaggeratedly dressed staff.

However, the first time Zhuo Mingyu saw the clown standing beside Zhuo Qianqian, he felt uncomfortable.

It may be because the clown outfit the other party is wearing is a bit dirty.

The clown suit is a very fancy dress with half red and one blue side, and it is a one-piece suit. There are complex and fluffy lace folds on the cuffs, neckline and ankles. There are many red balls hanging from the collar of the clothes, and the shoes are also in that shape. It is exaggerated, the toe of the shoe is very high, and there is also a big red plush ball inlaid on it as an decoration.

The clown wearing this kind of clothes will draw more exaggerated makeup on the face, eyes bent into crescent moon shape, painted with red and white eyeliner, big red nose, big red lips, the lips seem to be split, laughing like a smile It also has a very exaggerated and ridiculous shape, with red or blue teardrops painted on the left and right cheeks respectively, indicating the strange meaning of the clown crying while laughing.

Clowns usually wear colorful wigs that look like explosive heads, and wear a clown hat with two red plush balls hanging from them.They will stand on the stage and make various poses that make people laugh. They are clowns in operas, and most of them also perform funny performances in acrobatics. They often appear in circuses.

But in this day and age, clowns are no longer amusing.

I don’t know when it started. Many people, even many children, think that the appearance of the clown is not ridiculous at all. On the contrary, it will give people an illusion of frightening, which makes the clown start slowly. Slowly withdrawing from the stage of joy, they have gradually become a symbol of fear in people's minds. Some people refer to the fear of clowns as clown phobia.

Zhuo Mingyu wasn't sure if the reason why he felt uncomfortable when he saw that clown appearing next to Zhuo Qianqian was because of the so-called "clown phobia" or because there was something wrong with that clown. ?

But the guy dressed up as a clown looks really bad. Not to mention his exaggerated shape, his clothes seem to have large dark red marks on his clothes. I don’t know if it’s paint or what kind of paint left it. .

However, because the clown costume is very fancy, there are many patterns of stars and moons on it for embellishment.Because of the flamboyance, those dark red traces on the clown's clothes don't look very obvious, at least no one around has cast strange glances at the clown.

But Zhuo Mingyu still felt that something was wrong. He was actually very anxious at the time. He took two double scoops of ice cream and wanted to squeeze out the crowd and return to his daughter. He raised the ice cream high to prevent them from falling to the ground, and maintained this Ridiculous movements and strenuously squeezed through the crowd.

At that time, Zhuo Mingyu didn't even understand why there were so many people in this amusement park. It seemed that everyone was deliberately hindering him and hindering him from returning to his daughter.

But fortunately, he squeezed out of the crowd in time and rushed to his daughter's side. When he rushed over, he saw that strange clown gave Zhuo Qianqian a hand, and the clown also wore a hand on his hand. A pair of dark red gloves seemed to be handing something to Zhuo Qianqian.

Zhuo Qianqian was young, so she didn't have much defense. When the clown gave her something, she reached out and took it directly.Although both Zhuo Mingyu and Wen Shan have told her over and over again not to talk to strangers, not to pick up things from strangers, but in fact these instructions are not very useful, children do not remember things, and are full of curiosity , In their young hearts, the world is colorful and colorful, as if there has never been any danger.

They are weak, innocent and confused, and the only ones who can really protect them are their parents.

Zhuo Mingyu rushed to his daughter. The clown seemed to have a premonition. After giving the things to Zhuo Qianqian, he left without saying a word. He disappeared very quickly and mixed into the lively crowd all at once. , mixed with those staff dressed in various exaggerated styles, disappeared.

Afterwards, Zhuo Mingyu took the thing that the clown handed to Zhuo Qianqian and took a look, and found that it was actually a hair clip, the bow-knot-shaped hair clip for children, with blue dots on it, it seemed nothing strange.

Zhuo Qianqian seemed to like this hairpin quite a bit, so she asked Zhuo Mingyu to put it on her head.

Zhuo Mingyu was a little unhappy, he actually wanted to throw this thing away, although it seemed nothing unusual on the surface, but when he thought of the strange clown just now, Zhuo Mingyu felt that this hairpin was starting to make him uncomfortable. comfortable.

Who would inexplicably send a hairpin to a child on the side of the road?

Zhuo Qianqian said: "That uncle is delivering gifts. The amusement park is holding an event today. Those uncles are carrying bags of gifts, and they will give one to the children when they see them. It is said that there will be a circus parade in the evening, which is very interesting. , can we stay till night?"

Hearing what Zhuo Qianqian said, Zhuo Mingyu looked around carefully, and found that the exaggerated staff were indeed delivering gifts as Zhuo Qianqian said, some were balloons, some were trinkets, mobile phone pendants, mini Little toys and stuff like that.

Only then did Zhuo Mingyu feel relieved. He felt that he felt uncomfortable seeing that clown just now. It was probably an illusion. He was worrying too much.

After that, they did stay in the amusement park until the evening. There were bands, dance teams, circuses, and float parades in the park at night. Various people dressed in colorful clothes lined up in long lines. The band played a few upbeat pieces on a loop, and the whole scene was bustling, packed with people, but it was fun and lively.

The butterfly hairpin given by the clown was always on Zhuo Qianqian's head.

That day was obviously very happy, but it seemed to change everything.

"Is the clown the only thing that made you feel strange that day?" He Qianjue listened to Zhuo Mingyu's narration in silence, and he couldn't help rubbing his chin and began to think about something.

Zhuo Mingyu said with certainty: "Only this... After that, I never let my daughter leave my side. I have been holding her hand tightly. There are too many people, and I dare not let go."

He Qianjue nodded and said: "It's really a bit strange, I can see that you are a very keen person, especially when it comes to the perception of spiritual power, this proves that you have a certain degree of spiritual power, so people who make you feel uncomfortable , there must be some problems."

Zhuo Mingyu didn't understand what he meant, he frowned and asked, "Spiritual power?"

He Qianjue explained simply: "As long as it is a living thing, there is spiritual power in the body, and you can also understand it as the energy of the soul."

After speaking, He Qianjue paused, and continued: "There are differences in spiritual power. To put it bluntly, it is divided into yin and yang. Living people generally have strong yang energy, and only dead people emit strong yin energy. Ordinary people You can't perceive this kind of yin and yang, but because your spiritual perception is much stronger than ordinary people, so things like yin and yang have a greater impact on you. The reason why you feel uncomfortable may be because... ...The yin energy of that clown has affected you."

When He Qianjue said this, Zhuo Mingyu was terrified: "What do you mean? That clown that day...was...a dead person?"

"There is such a possibility." He Qianjue said, "But I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I can't tell it specifically. I can only guess that the clown, one, may be a living corpse or a zombie; two, it may be a A monster or demon cultivator who specializes in absorbing yin energy; third, it may also be an ordinary person who has killed many people."

"An ordinary person who killed many people?" Zhuo Mingyu became more and more terrified.

"The murderer will be contaminated with the dead's yin energy, especially the kind of killing method that is particularly cruel, such as dismembering the corpse." He Qianjue said, "The more people are killed, the more yin energy will be, and the strong yin energy will easily attract some people." Demons and ghosts, being stared at by ghosts will not end well, so it is not without reason that the more sinful some people are, the more miserable their end will be."

He Qianjue said: "Although I have many guesses about the identity of the clown you met that day, I can be sure now that the clown was an ordinary person who killed many people, so he was contaminated with a lot of yin. The hairpin he gave to your daughter may be a relic of a victim he killed, because little monsters like shadow ghosts are born from dead bodies, and they are a collection of death and resentment."

"Why can't it be a zombie?" Zhuo Mingyu asked, "Since shadow ghosts are monsters born from corpses, then zombies should be fine too?"

He Qianjue said: "Zombies or living corpses are also a kind of monsters. Monsters will not allow their own kind to parasitize themselves, so if the clown that day was a zombie or something, there would be no shadow ghosts. "

"So that's it, then... So, that clown that day was a murderer!" Zhuo Mingyu realized a lot, and suddenly felt a fear in his heart, "If I hadn't returned to my daughter immediately, that guy would have Won't take my daughter away too...and then..."

"There's this possibility. I've seen a lot of missing children on TV recently." He Qianjue said as he turned his head and glanced at the mirror. Through the mirror, he could see the large TV set hanging in the hall outside. It was a coincidence that the front desk nurse at the side switched the TV channel to the urban evening news, which happened to be broadcasting a missing child case.

Following He Qianjue's line of sight, Zhuo Mingyu also turned his head to look in the mirror, and saw the TV outside the mirror, as well as the evening news broadcast on the TV.
