Even Liao Xing couldnât possibly think of that impossible answer.
âThe two of them wonât understand if I put it in technical terms, while you definitely cannot know about it, so I wonât explain itâ Gu Qing Shan answered.
Then he looked at the three of them and said: âThe battle against the Game of Eternal will now beginâ
âYe Fei Li, itâs your turn to shineâ
âWhy do I feel like some sort of super hero?â Ye Fei Li looked down at Mech armor and made a very rare joke.
Zhang Ying Hao also smiled: âThis is your moment to accept a completely new challengeâ
Ye Fei Li listened, then very seriously spoke: âI can make a specific request regarding the Mechâs appearance?â
âTell meâ Gu Qing Shan answered.
âMy helmet is too normalâ Ye Fei Li pointed at the Mechâs helmet.
As the three of them looked over, the helmet really is just a generic Mech helmet.
âSorry, since time was short, I only focused on the features and function and didnât really pay attention to the appearance, what do you suggest?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âYou want to make them frightened right?â Ye Fei Li asked.
âThatâs rightâ Gu Qing Shan answered.
âHelmets and masks, if youâre doing it right can also make a lot of people feel fear without a clear reasonâ Ye Fei Li said.
âWhat kind of appearance do you want then? Skull? Death? Beasts? Or Devils?â Liao Xing butted in.
âNo, I think itâll be fine with a clown head, recently thereâs been a popular smiling clown mascot, letâs use thatâ Ye Fei Li answered.
Liao Xing was a bit confused: âDidnât you say we need to make them frightened? Whatâs a clown going to do?â
âSkulls and all those stuffs you get used to after a whileâ
Ye Fei Li continued: âHowever, if youâre forced to see something that looks human but isnât exactly human, youâll start to feel a sense of true fear from the bottom of your heartâ
âLooks like youâre in the know as wellâ Zhang Ying Hao gave him a thumbs up.
âNo way, I donât get that feelingâ Liao Xing didnât really understand.
Ye Fei Li very nonchalantly: âYou can try it. At 2 in the morning, light a single candle and walk around an amusement park alone, youâll understandâ
Zhang Ying Hao added: âThatâs right, if youâre looking at those mascots by yourself, youâll always feel a strange sense of uneaseâ
Ye Fei Li concluded: âThatâs why people always put clowns at rowdy places with a lot of people, but never in silent places where thereâs rarely any peopleâ
Liao Xing tried to imagine such a scene.
In a silent alleyway, youâre alone without anyone, then suddenly met a clown mascot with a strange smile on its face.
It only stared at you silently without speaking a single word.
Liao Xing suddenly felt chills all over.
âLet us try that outâ Gu Qing Shan turned on the screen and said.
A few minutes later.
A new helmet has been made.
The steel helmetâs eye sockets were blank, its face a bit sluggish, the nose was so long and slender it almost looked like a birdâs beak, and finally a stiff red smile.
It almost seems like it was trying to make someone happy, but at the same time it wasnât really doing that, only showing a cold expression.
At first when Liao Xing looked at it, he felt fine, but the longer he looked, a strange sense of unease rose within himself.
âThe fuck, luckily, Iâve never really paid any notice to these thingsâ he muttered.
âNice, I like this, Iâm going to call it the Murder Clownâ Ye Fei Li stared at the clown helmet, licked his lips and said.
âThen go, your turnâ Gu Qing Shan turned off the screen and said to Ye Fei Li.
âKill him?â Ye Fei Li asked for the final confirmation.
âHm, directly kill him, give humanity a little threat as wellâ Gu Qing Shan nodded and said.
Not that long after.
The Holy Empire.
The Fuxi Empire.
The Freedom Confederate.
Government offices were in a heated discussion about the strange thing that happened yesterday.
Everyone did their best to argue for their own case, to hide the terror in their hearts.
The sea creatures appearing and invading land can be blamed on genetic mutation.
The Man Eater Fiends and Man Killer Fiends can be attributed to a mutation virus.
But what happened last night was completely above any explanation humanity has to offer. Even if they wanted to hide the truth from the populaceâs eyes, they had nothing they can use to explain what happened.
So many peopleâs belief collapsed overnight, and even more of them asked themselves what they should do when the apocalypse had come so close.
Eternal life, this is eternal life you know, if and when the next round comes, will I join it or not?
Many were silently asking themselves this question.
And the answer seems very clear to quite a few of them.
Right at this moment.
On the entire planet, in every country, every device that can receive satellite signals all automatically lit up.
The screens then projected showed an unfamiliar figure, appearing in front of everyone in the world for the very first time.
It was wearing a jet black armor, on its back was a pair of long wings of blackened light.
It had a long pointy nose, accompanied by a stiff smile often seen on mascots.
The fact that everyoneâs personal Holo-Brains all automatically lit up and showed the same images is something extremely hard to imagine in this day and age.
Not to mention it was showing such a strange person.
If it werenât for the wings behind it being black, people could even mistake it for being an angel from the legends.
But the strange, stiff smile it has and the person it was gripping in its hand were both so eerie and out of this world that itâs hard to comment at all.
Thatâs right, it was gripping someone who was struggling to get free.
That person was the same âchampionâ who left the Game of Eternal not long ago, the person who gained eternal life, Ou Yang Fei Yu.
All the countries and large organizations has yet to even start looking for him.
But he was already caught by a mysterious monster.
Right now, everyone was in a state of shock, but due to having the precedent that is the Game of Eternal, they were still able to accept that they were seeing as truth.
The entire world held their breath, waiting for what happens next.
A stifled voice came from behind the clown mask.
[Hello everyone. I am your loyal servant. The harvester of your lives. And the source of your fears]
[You may call me, the Murder Clown]
[The trial will now begin]
[Ou Yang Fei Yu, serial killer, fugitive, having murdered thousands of people in the Game of Eternal, his crimes are unpardonable. His sentence is death. Effective immediately]
As soon as the Murder Clown finished speaking, a blood red glow emits from its hand and enveloped Ou Yang Fei Yu.
Ou Yang Fei Yu tried his best to struggle, but to no avail.
The blood glow acted like a super corrosive material, eating away at his body in his struggle until he was left as nothing but a skeleton.
Although heâs already dead, his skullâs mouth was still opened wide, as if letting out a stifled scream.
The person wearing jet black armor stood still, its helmet still had the same stiff and cold smile.
This scene was an inexplicable strange scene of horror.
All those who witnessed this scene were left with an indelible deep memory in their hearts.
The Murder Clown picked up the boney skeleton, shook it as it to show it off, and once again spoke.
[Ladies, and gentlemen, please keep this in mind. Anyone that enters the Game of Eternal will have but a single fate, and that is ââ]
The clownâs voice raised, using an entertained and excited tone to spit out a single word:
[DEATH!]
As the Murder Clown finished, it took the skeleton in hand and quickly disappeared into the clouds.
If wasnât until its visage can no longer be seen that all the Holo-Brains in the world once again shut off at the same time.
At this moment, the entire planet was silenced.
