The steaming acid burned Father Taylor's trachea, and even after he was out of the acid pool, the old man still coughed.
His fists were curled up under his mouth and he coughed horribly. Veins appeared on his forehead and his face turned red.
Sean tried to spread the elixir mist into Taylor's throat. The cool mist made the priest feel better.
He sighed in relief.
"It's so weird here..." Taylor shook his head and said as he wiped the snot and tears he had coughed up with a handkerchief.
The senior exorcist has seen many strange scenes in his life, but he has never experienced anything similar to what he is experiencing now.
Storms in the abyss, acid rain forming rivers...
His sigh also expressed Sean's somewhat anxious thoughts——
It's so weird here.
Encountered two dangerous situations, but still no sign of the "Joker".
Next to it, the water level in the doorway began to slowly drop.
After the team rested for a while, they continued walking towards the depths of the haunted house for fear of something changing.
As he walked through a section of brick doorway, Sean could hear the sound of something whizzing by.
Soon, they walked into an open cave, and even the voices they spoke became a little hollow.
The light illuminates a track with an extremely steep slope ahead. Cars like mine carts are being pulled up the track slope.
After reaching the top, the minecarts roared down the track and disappeared into the darkness.
"Roller coaster?" The moonlight on his jacket was burnt with many holes by the acid rain, and he took two steps to walk in 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 automatically running "roller coaster" 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 off a layer with his fingertips, put it under his nose and smelled it.
There is a faint fishy smell from the ocean...
"Whale oil?"
Sean's mind flashed to 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 happens in Midnight Paradise is already very weird, and everything in this "Clown's House" has reached a new level of weirdness...
To find the clown, you must not stay where you are.
However, if you want to continue moving forward, you can only choose to ride on this oil-carrying mine cart, and you don't know what dangers are hidden ahead.
After careful consideration, the small team alliance decided to send four people to move forward by drawing lots, while the remaining people waited where they were.
In the end, a temporary team composed of Sean, Olivia, "Remnant" Max and "Shadow" Holly was responsible for continuing to deepen.
After emptying the grease, the four people took two mine cars and set off on a slow climb.
When the mine cart was about to reach the highest point, Sean Dickinson looked back...
"It's best for Moonlight and Dad to stay where they are," the three people who stayed behind held up lighting tools such as oil lamps and flashlights. Moonlight, who wanted to ride the roller coaster, stood down with some disappointment because she didn't get the lottery, "The combination of me and Olivia is the most flexible and strong."
As soon as he turned back his gaze, the mine cart rumbled into the darkness and began its extremely fast descent...
It seems that thanks to the function of whale oil, the mine cart runs very smoothly on the track.
The wind whistled past my face, and in the dark cave, the stalactites passing by seemed like teeth in the mouth of a huge monster.
The flashlight can only illuminate the tracks that keep appearing in front of us, and dust comes from the dark background again and again.
The track kept rising and falling - the terrain in the cave seemed 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, there are tiny things shining with red fluorescence gathered together, seeming to be competing for the oil...
The sight was like a blood-red tongue licking the fallen grease.
This scene made Sean vaguely think of something, but he couldn't make that connection concrete.
He could only frown and let his thoughts wander.
The track gradually lowered, and at this moment, they were almost sliding against the surface of the pool.
Suddenly I heard crisp sounds like exploding pods coming from next to me...
Turning around, he saw worms emitting red fluorescence rising from the water.
Their mouths are full of sharp teeth!
These small creatures competing for oil are fierce carnivores. They seem to have discovered fresh food and can't help but eject excitedly!
Obviously, getting bitten by one is never pleasant.
Olivia had already moved - she stood up from the mine cart, and was just about to use her sharp blade to chop up the things that bounced into the air, like fluorescent raindrops, when she saw the shadow illuminated by the flashlight in front of the mine cart suddenly left. ground.
The shadow danced in the air like a black horse, making a hunting sound like a waving flag...
The movements of the Shadow Blade may seem chaotic, but in fact, every trajectory accurately cuts the worm in two.
The densely packed fluorescent worms were cut down by the knife formed by the black shadow.
It was as if there was a burst of red fluorescent rain, and the red rain fell into the pool, making constant pattering sounds.
Sean watched with some confusion. "Shadow" Holly was not only controlling the shadow blade, but also broke away from the mine cart she was riding on. She kept jumping with the help of her shadow, and even caught up with the speed of the mine cart.
Very different style from Olivia, but equally fast pace.
"Can humans also reach such speed?"
Just like his former self - Jack level, he cannot be underestimated.
The minecart drove into the narrow cave, the track gradually became smoother, 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 could feel that they had reached the end of their 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 is wearing a funny high hat, his hair is exaggeratedly fluffy, and his pair of fat-legged trousers are slightly funny.
"Joker?" Sean narrowed his eyes.
finally!
The Springfield carbine instantly appeared in the hands of the New Testament reporter, and "the man who gave up his true appearance" hung down two chains burning with black and red flames.
The lighting bat flew from behind, passing at low altitude, and was about to hit the clown...
What the firelight illuminated was a frozen smiling face.
"What?!" Sean held the gun in his hand and walked forward quickly.
The closer I get, the tighter I frown...
The tall clown held a sign that read "The End."
It's just a model.
Sean put down the gun in frustration——
They still haven't seen the Joker.
"Don't worry..." The hoarse voice sounded again, turning to several dark caves around, "Maybe the clown is hiding in these caves?"
Sean calmed his breathing and suggested: "We can contact the three people staying behind and ask them to search over there. If we don't make any progress here, we can go back and search."
After setting the direction, the two groups separated and walked into the cave entrance.
The light seemed feeble in the darkness. Sean held the gun and walked as patiently as possible, sorting out everything he had encountered in his mind again.
"Find the clown and kill him in exchange for freedom?"
Sean thought about this sentence again.
The fact that there was no one in the haunted house not only made another conjecture appear in his mind——
“Our team, including Max, Foley, and Holly, has a total of seven people in this haunted house.
"Is it possible that the so-called 'Joker' is not a being that lives in a haunted house, but is lurking among us?"
Most likely.
What is certain is that everyone in your own group is fine.
It has been confirmed that Moonlight 1902 is himself, and Moonlight has also certified Father Fagal Taylor.
Not to mention Olivia Windchime - Crimson Ties doesn't lie.
"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 cautiously approaching, he discovered that it was a large mirror like the one at the entrance.
"This should be the exit." Sean thought as he walked closer to the mirror step by step.
He saw himself in the mirror. He was stunned.
Sean saw himself holding a carbine in the mirror, wearing a dusty shirt and plaid pants with suspenders covered in dust.
The dusty feeling all over my body feels like I have been lost for hundreds of years...
What's even weirder is that he is wearing an old clown mask, with a hair-chilling smile on his face that is mottled and peeling off.
