I'm afraid of non-human beings

The clown's smile was ferocious and stiff.

The bright red oil paint on his face made the corners of his mouth twisted and turned upwards. He stared straight at this side, his cloudy eyes showed a very uncomfortable orange color, but when they turned, they looked sneaky and weird.

He was dressed like a costume, with thick lace folds that hid his neck from view.

The exaggeratedly dressed clown stood quietly behind the hedge, his lips trembling slightly, and even at such a long distance, he seemed to be able to hear his weird giggling.

In his raised right hand, he still holds a handful of identical red balloons on the railing.

Those balloons that also flashed ominous colors hung over the clown's head, casting shadowy shadows.

Whether it's the large number of balloons or his weird appearance, it can't be regarded as unobtrusive.

However, at this moment, Lin You clearly heard faint voices coming from the other side of the street, and a few people passing by could be seen between the fences, and they obviously did not notice the vision here.

——In other words, only the two of them can see this guy.

The next second, the clown let go of his hand.

The red balloons floated up danglingly.

"Sister You!" Geng Qinghe exclaimed, "Over there—"

He pointed to the few balloons that were tied to the iron fence. The thin ropes under them suddenly broke as if they were cut by someone, and they floated towards them together with the large army.

The balloon was light, but it arrived in front of him almost in the blink of an eye, and the alarm bells rang in Lin You's mind.

You don't even need to think about it to know that these ghost things are not good things.

"Be careful, don't let them touch you!" She yelled, and stuffed the notebook tightly into her arms, "Run!"

Geng Qinghe had already trusted the other party enough, and his first reaction when he heard this was to turn around and run towards the most open place without hesitation.

However, although his long legs are an advantage, he is really unlucky——

The discarded iron bar that had been inserted horizontally slammed into his calf, and Lin You, who passed by, turned back hastily when he heard the cry of pain, and couldn't help being startled.

...Why didn't anything happen when she ran over?

No time to be dazed anymore, she grabbed him before the other party really staggered and fell down.

Geng Qinghe was lucky enough to stabilize his balance, he ran really well and he was not slow, and he didn't forget to turn around and give her a hand.

Although they didn't waste much time going back and forth, they couldn't bear the fact that the balloons were flying too fast, and before they could reach them, the first balloon burst suddenly.

A disgusting stench filled the nostrils, dripping blood splashed everywhere, and the reddish-brown liquid looked like blood but not necessarily—when they splashed on the ground and those discarded parts, they clearly heard "Zizi" corrosion sound.

The balloons exploded one after another, and the pus filled with them fell like a torrential rain.

It's easy to avoid one or two balloons, but it's quite difficult to avoid a drop.

Seeing that only two or three of the red balloons exploded, Lin You turned around and saw it floating straight over.

Without thinking about it, she leaned over, and quickly pulled up the old plastic sheet that was randomly stacked on the Santana next door, and blocked it with a "swipe".

While the splashed liquid stained a large area of ​​wet stains, holes of various sizes were left on the cloth, which were corroded and still expanding—obviously, if she slowed down for a second, she was corroded like this It's not just the plastic sheeting.

Fortunately, this is the last one.

The eyes returned to the emptiness.

The balloons chasing them were left with rubber skins that gradually melted in the pus. Lin You looked around, but there was no trace of the clown named Pennywise.

Geng Qinghe leaned on his knees behind her and gasped for breath, busy dodging and running for his life seemed to consume too much of his mind.

"He, why is he chasing us..."

Panting, he said in disbelief, "Just because you found that notebook?"

"The original owner has been silenced, why are you still lucky?"

"That's enough." Lin You searched for something, squatted down and picked up the thing, "That guy definitely doesn't want too many people to notice his existence and unite to deal with him."

"For example, a long time ago, someone gathered and held a ceremony to seal him."

——Although, the ceremony actually failed in the end, and the clown killed all the participating members.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be active until now, and he would come out to make trouble every 27 years.

The voice behind him suddenly changed its tone.

"—You know it very well."

"In that case," said the shrill voice, "you will have to be killed too."

Lin You suddenly turned her head.

The sudden impact caused her to fall to the ground on her back, and the oncoming pressure forced her to support her hands upwards, so as not to let the sharp teeth that almost occupied her entire field of vision fall on her arms.

Where can I see Geng Qinghe in the same place?

The pale painted face of the real clown is very close at hand, with brown-red hair sticking out on both sides of his head.In his wide open mouth, layers of slender and long fangs are still popping out.

He pressed his head down hard, shaking his head as if he wanted to bite off one of her hands.

And the reason why he hasn't really bitten yet is because of an iron rod stuck between his teeth.

Lin You supported the two ends of the stick with all her strength, and the clown seemed to see that she was exhausted, and the smile pulled from the corner of her raised mouth became more and more weird.

Unexpectedly, Lin You also suddenly smiled.

She let go suddenly.

The clown didn't even have time to think about it, and subconsciously wanted to bite it down.He loosened his hands, and Lin You, who was half-pressed underneath, rolled on the ground. In the middle of getting up, a stick was pointed at his mouth and slammed up!

"... Goooo...!"

A few teeth fell to the ground, and the clown who was caught off guard covered his mouth and staggered two steps back.

He panted heavily, and when he lowered his hand again, he somehow stopped the bleeding.

The protruding sharp teeth were also slowly retracted.

"So it is, so it is."

The clown's beady eyes turned to the iron rod that Lin You was still holding in his hand, "So you picked up this thing just now..."

"Did you find out that it was dropped?"

"To be precise, it's an opening." Lin You tapped the ground with the stick in his hand as if warning, "Where are the others?"

The clown didn't speak, instead he grinned ferociously, showing two protruding front teeth, and stepped back step by step.

While stepping into the shadow cast by the car behind him, he blended in strangely.

Before Lin You could take a step forward, the next second, she heard shouts coming from far and near.

"Sister You?" The man looked left and right, making a trumpet shape with his hands, "Sister You, where are you?!"

Hearing that voice, Lin You was taken aback, and watched Geng Qinghe hurriedly turn out from the other side.

"Where have you been?" she asked.

"I was running forward," the latter was also puzzled by Zhanger Monk, "but when I turned around and found that you were gone, sister Yu, I wondered if you were going in the opposite direction—"

Sure enough, Lin You thought, when he fell, he had already changed.

Before Geng Qinghe could finish his sentence, the word "Xiang" was on the tip of his tongue, and when he saw the pale face in the shadow, it stuck in his throat.

The clown smiled grimly.

When those eyes swept over, Geng Qinghe was so excited that his scalp was about to explode.

"Don't worry, don't worry..." The clown named Pennywise licked his lips, "It's your turn next."

What a delicious fear.

"...Sister You." Geng Qinghe subconsciously called out to the person next to him.

"Hold on," Lin You said, "This guy feeds on fear."

So now we have to torture them mentally.

In his eyes, this is not much different from ducks that are fattened and then slaughtered.The more frightened he is, the stronger he becomes.

The clown giggled, and when he turned around and looked at Lin You, his expression seemed a little weird for a moment.

"So, why aren't you afraid?"

He asked in a shrill voice, "Am I not real enough? Am I not real enough for you?"

The clown Pennywise's eyes flashed suddenly, and Lin You thought he had noticed his movement, and the hand holding the card behind his back also stopped.

In fact, he seemed to have found out.

"Aha!" The clown rolled his eyes maliciously, "I see."

Lin You just felt his hand sink.

"Why don't you look at it?" asked the Joker slyly.

When she saw clearly what it was, Lin You was stunned.

What she is holding is the ghost illustrated book that contains all the cards she has collected so far.With a bad premonition, she reflexively touched the corner of the cover.

Opening the illustration book, Lin You's head buzzed.

Blank, large blanks.

Of the dozen or so cards inside, none of them are left.As far as the field of vision was concerned, there was only an empty card slot looking at her from afar.

The clown was obviously very happy. He hugged his stomach and laughed, but he didn't know when the air around him became silent.

He raised his head belatedly, and found that even the fear on Geng Qinghe's face had disappeared completely.

The other party looked at him silently, in the eyes full of inexplicable pity, it seemed that he could read five big characters——

——Is it not good to live?

clown:"……?"

Lin You took a deep breath and smiled angrily.

She knew that this was an illusion, and it could only be an illusion deliberately created by the clown to stimulate her.

Her cards are all fine.

But even knowing this—

Lin You threw the fake illustrated book behind her backhand.

"Before the show begins," she raised her head and asked politely, "Do you want some warm-up exercise first?"
