The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 422: Man in the Mirror

The evaporating acid burned Father Taylor's trachea. Even though he was out of the acid pool, the old man still coughed non-stop.

His fists were curled under his mouth, and he coughed horribly, his forehead was bruised, and his face was flushed.

Xiao En tried to diffuse the mist of the elixir into Taro's throat, and the cool mist made the priest feel better.

He sighed in relief.

"Here, it's so strange..." Taro shook his head and said with a handkerchief to wipe away the snot and tears he coughed up.

The senior exorcist has seen many strange scenes in his life, but he has never experienced anything like today.

The storm in the abyss, the acid rain becomes a river...

His exclamation also expressed Sean's nervousness—

It's so weird here.

Encountered two dangerous situations, but still did not see the shadow of the "clown".

Next to it, the water level in the doorway began to drop slowly.

After resting for a while, the team continued to walk towards the depths of the haunted house for fear of any changes.

As he walked through a brick doorway, Sean could hear something whizzing by.

Soon, they walked into an open cave, and even the voice of speaking became a little empty.

The light illuminates an extremely steep track ahead, and small cars like mine carts are being pulled up the track slope.

After reaching the top, the minecarts roared down the track, into the darkness.

"Roller coaster?" Moonlight, whose jacket was burned by acid rain with many holes, caught up with two steps and walked in the front. At this moment, his eyes are flickering again, and he seems to be heartless again.

"This seems to be some kind of system..." Black Death stared at the "roller coaster" that was running automatically, and found that at the starting point, a grab was loading something like grease into the car, "It seems to be transporting the grease. "

Sean walked to the pile of gray grease, frowned, scraped off a layer with his fingertips, put it under his nose and smelled it.

Faintly, with a fishy smell from the ocean...

"Whale oil?"

Sean's mind flashed through the huge skeletons from the ocean scattered in the acid rain room.

"They use whale oil as a lubricant for the park's mechanical parts?"

Everything that happened in Midnight Paradise is already very weird, but everything in this "House of Clowns" has even jumped to a new level of weirdness...

To find the clown, you must not stay where you are.

However, if you want to move on, you can only choose to take this kind of oil truck, and you don't know what kind of danger lies ahead.

After weighing again and again, the Squad Alliance decided to send four people to move forward by drawing lots, and the rest waited in place for the time being.

In the end, a temporary team composed of Sean, Olivia, "Remnant" Max and "Shadow" Holly was responsible for continuing to go deep.

After emptying the grease, the four of them took two mine carts and set off on a slow climb.

When the minecart was about to reach the highest point, Sean Dickinson glanced back...

"It's best for Moonlight and Dad to stay where they are," said the three people who stayed behind, holding up lighting tools such as oil lamps and flashlights. Moonlight, who wanted to ride the roller coaster wholeheartedly, stood below feeling a little disappointed because she didn't get a lottery, "The combination of me and Olivia is the most flexible and tough."

As soon as he turned his gaze back, the minecart rumbled into the darkness, and began its journey down at an extremely fast speed...

It seems that thanks to the function of whale oil, the minecart runs very smoothly on the track.

The wind whistled past his face, and in the dark cave, the stalactites passed by suddenly, like the teeth in the mouth of some huge monster.

The flashlight can only illuminate the track that keeps appearing ahead, and the dust is repeatedly paved from the dark background.

The track keeps rising and falling—the terrain in the cave seems extremely strange.

Facing the strong wind, Sean squinted and looked ahead.

The mine cart in front swayed from side to side, and the gray grease contained in it was continuously spilled, and fell into the pool under the track.

In the pool, there are tiny things shining with red fluorescent light gathered, seeming to be vying for the oil...

That scene was like a blood-red tongue licking the fallen fat.

This scene reminded Sean of something vaguely, but he couldn't make that association concrete.

He could only frown, letting his thoughts fly.

The track gradually lowered, and at this moment, they were almost sliding against the surface of the pool.

Suddenly, I heard bursts of crisp sound like pods exploding from the side...

Turning his head, he saw worms emitting red fluorescent light ejected from the water surface one by one.

There are circles of sharp teeth in their mouths!

These small creatures scrambling for fat are ferocious carnivores. They seem to find fresh food, and they can't help but catapult out excitedly!

Apparently, being bitten by them is definitely not a good feeling.

Olivia has already moved—she stood up from the mine cart, and was just about to use her sharp blade to chop up those things that bounced into the air like fluorescent raindrops, when she saw the shadow cast by the flashlight suddenly leave the ground in front of the mine cart .

The shadow danced in the air like a black horse, making a hunting sound like waving a banner...

The movement of the Shadow Blade seems to be chaotic, but in fact, each trajectory accurately cuts the worm in two.

The dense fluorescent worms were cut down by the knife formed by the black shadow.

It seemed that there was a burst of red fluorescent rain, and the red rain fell into the pool, making a constant pattering sound.

Sean watched in amazement, "Shadow" Holly was not only controlling the Shadow Blade, but also got out of the minecart she was riding on, using the shadow to jump continuously, and even caught up with the speed of the minecart.

It has a very different style from Olivia, but has the same swift pace.

"Humans can also achieve such a speed?"

Just like my former self—Jack class, I can't underestimate it.

The mine cart drove into the narrow cave, the track gradually became flatter, and finally stopped at the end.

Sean and Olivia, as well as Max and Holly, jumped off the mine cart almost at the same time.

They can feel that they seem to have come to the end of this journey.

After getting off the car and walking forward for a while, you can already see the rock wall deep in the cave.

Under the dark rock wall, both Sean and Max could see a huge silhouette.

He wears a funny top hat, his hair is exaggeratedly shaggy, and a pair of fat-leg pants is slightly funny.

"Joker?" Sean narrowed his eyes.

finally!

The Springfield carbine instantly appeared in the hands of the New York reporter, and the "man who gave up his true face" hung down two chains burning with black and red flames.

The illuminating bat flew from behind, passed by at low altitude, and was about to hit the clown's body...

What the firelight illuminated was a frozen smiling face.

"What?!" Sean held the gun in his hand and walked forward quickly.

The closer you get, the tighter your brows are...

The tall clown holds up a sign that says "The Finish".

It's just a model.

Sean puts the gun down in frustration—

They still haven't seen the shadow of "Joker".

"Don't worry..." The hoarse voice sounded again, and turned to several dark caves around, "Perhaps, the clown is hiding in these caves?"

Sean adjusted his breathing and suggested: "We can contact the three people who stayed behind and ask them to search over there. If we don't make any progress here, we will go back and search."

After setting the direction, the two groups separated and walked into the entrance of the cave.

The light seemed feeble in the darkness. With the gun in hand, Sean walked as patiently as possible, once again sorting out everything he had encountered in his mind.

"Find the clown, kill him, and trade for freedom?"

Sean pondered the sentence again.

The fact that there was no one in the haunted house made him think of another conjecture—

"Our team, plus Max, Foley, and Holly, there are seven people in total in this haunted house.

"Could it be that the so-called 'clown' is not an existence entrenched in the haunted house, but lurking among us?"

Most likely.

You can be sure that everyone in your group is fine.

It has been confirmed that Moonlight 1902 is the real person, and Moonlight has also certified Father Fagar Taylor.

Not to mention Olivia Windchime—the crimson bond will not lie~lightnovelpub.net~Then, if the conjecture is true, the clown can only be in Max's team..."

Thinking of this, Sean suddenly saw some light ahead.

After approaching cautiously, he realized that it was a large mirror like the one at the entrance.

"This should be the exit." Thinking so, Sean walked to the mirror step by step.

He saw himself in the mirror. He froze.

Sean saw himself holding a carbine, wearing a dusty shirt in the mirror, and plaid pants with suspenders covered with dust.

That dusty feeling, as if lost for hundreds of years...

What's even weirder is that he is wearing an old clown mask. On his mottled and peeling face, there is a chilling smile on his face.
