The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 422: Man in the Mirror

The steaming acid burned Father Taylor's trachea. Even though he had left the acid pool, the old man kept coughing.

With his fists curled under his mouth, he made a terrifying cough, with blue veins on his forehead, and his face flushed red.

Sean tried to diffuse the mist of elixir into Taylor's throat, and the cool mist made the priest feel better.

He sighed as if he was saved.

"Here, it's so weird..." Tyro shook his head and said, wiping the snot and tears he coughed up with a handkerchief.

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

Tempest in the abyss, acid rain into rivers...

His sigh also revealed Sean's uneasy feeling——

It's so weird here.

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

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

After the team rested for a while, they continued to walk towards the depths of the haunted house for fear of change.

Shawn could hear something whizzing past as he walked through a section of brick doorway.

Soon, they walked into an open cave, and even their voices became a little empty.

The lights illuminated a track with a very steep **** ahead, and carts like mine carts were being pulled up the track slope.

After reaching the top, the minecarts whizzed down the track and plunged into the darkness.

"Roller coaster?" The acid rain burned out a lot of moonlight on his jacket, and he took two steps to the front. At this moment, his eyes flickered again, and he seemed to be heartless again.

"This seems to be some kind of system..." The Black Death Doctor stared at the "roller coaster" that was running automatically, and found that at the starting point, a grapple was loading grease-like things into the car, "It seems to be transporting these greases. ."

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

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

"Whale oil?"

Shawn's mind flashed across the huge skeletons from the ocean scattered in the acid rain room.

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

Everything that happened in Midnight Paradise was very weird, and everything in this "Joker's House" was even more bizarre...

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

However, if you want to continue to move forward, you can only choose to take this kind of oil-carrying minecart, and there are some hidden dangers ahead.

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

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

After emptying the grease, the four of them took two minecarts and set off in a slow climb.

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

"Moonlight and Daddy stay where they are, it's best," the three left behind held up lighting tools such as oil lamps and flashlights. Moonlight, who wanted to ride the roller coaster, was a little disappointed because she didn't get the lottery, "Olivia and I are the most flexible and tough combination."

As soon as he turned his gaze back, the minecart rumbled and slid into the darkness, beginning a very fast descent...

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 that passed by suddenly looked like the teeth in the mouth of a huge monster.

The flashlight can only illuminate the constantly emerging track ahead, and the dust is repeatedly paved from the dark background.

The track is constantly up and down - the terrain in the cave seems extremely strange.

Facing the strong wind, Sean squinted and looked ahead.

The minecart in front swayed left and right, and the gray grease it carried was continuously spilled and fell into the pool under the track.

In the pool, tiny things shining with red fluorescence gathered together, as if they were vying for those oils...

The scene was like a blood-red tongue licking the fallen grease.

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

He could only frown and let his thoughts fly.

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

Suddenly, I heard a crisp sound like a pod exploding from the side...

When he turned his head, he saw that worms with red fluorescence all over their bodies bounced up from the water.

Their mouths are full of sharp teeth!

These small creatures vying for oil are ferocious carnivores. They seem to have found fresh food and can't help ejecting excitedly!

Obviously, being bitten by them is absolutely unpleasant.

Olivia had already moved—she stood up from the minecart, and was about to use her sharp blade to smash those things that bounced into the air like fluorescent raindrops, but saw the shadow of the flashlight suddenly escape in front of the minecart. ground.

The shadow danced in the air like a black trainer, making a hunting sound like waving a big flag...

The dynamics of the Shadow Blade seem to be chaotic, but in fact, every trajectory accurately cuts the worm in two.

The densely packed fluorescent worms were chopped down by the knife formed by the shadow.

It was like a burst of red fluorescent rain fell, and the red rain fell into the pool and kept making a pattering sound.

Sean looked at it with some naughtiness. Holly the "Shadow" was not only controlling the Shadow Blade, but also got out of the minecart that he was riding on. With the help of the shadow, he kept jumping, and even caught up with the speed of the minecart.

A completely different style from Olivia, but with the same rapid pace.

"Can humans achieve such a speed?"

Just like the former self, the Jack-level, it cannot be underestimated either.

The minecart drove into the narrow cave, the track gradually flattened, and finally stopped at the end.

Sean and Olivia, as well as Max and Holly, jumped off the minecart almost simultaneously.

They could feel that they had come to the end of the 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 fluffy, and a pair of fat-leg pants is a little funny.

"Joker?" Sean narrowed his eyes.

finally!

The Springfield carbine instantly appeared in the hands of the New Testament reporter, and "The One Who Gives Up His True Face" dropped two chains that were burning with black and red flames.

The illuminating bat flew from the rear, passed by at a low altitude, and was about to hit the clown...

The firelight illuminated a frozen smiling face.

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

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

The tall clown held up a sign that said "End Point".

Just a model.

Sean put down the gun angrily—

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

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

Sean calmed his breath and suggested, "We can contact the three people left behind and ask them to search there. If we don't make any progress here, let's go back and search."

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

The light seemed feeble in the dark. Sean carried the gun and walked as patiently as he could, once again sorting out what had happened in his mind.

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

Sean pondered this sentence again.

The fact that there was no one in the haunted house made him not only have another conjecture in his mind——

"Our team, plus Max, Foley, and Holly~lightnovelpub.net~ have a total of seven people in this haunted house.

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

Most likely.

What is certain is that everyone in my group is fine.

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

Not to mention Olivia Wind Chime - the crimson bond doesn't lie.

"Then, if the conjecture is true, the Joker 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 the same as 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 gray shirt in the mirror, and his plaid pants with suspenders full of dust.

The feeling of being covered in dust, like being lost for hundreds of years...

What's even more bizarre is that he wears an old clown mask, and on his mottled and peeling face, a chilling smile solidifies.
