Killing America Terror Starts at a Fatal Turn

After chatting with Wagner, everyone was almost here. They said goodbye to Lillian and started today's preparation meeting.

Today's meeting was quick and only two things were decided.

The first is to immediately arrange for people to fan the flames and create rumors of a "balloon monster" to transfer the fear of "clowns" to "balloons."

This balloon monster is of course Luke's vest. The image creation refers to Luke's distorted appearance to a certain extent, and adds elements of balloons and crows to form a new terrifying monster.

The second is to arrange for extraordinary people with the ability to imprison to wait on the path where balloon clowns are prone to appear, and prepare to capture a few and give them to Wagner to use to cast the curse.

Today's affairs were arranged, and people quickly went about their respective tasks.

Before the rumors boiled over, Luke touched the branch representing the [blasphemy] ability and tried to absorb these fearful emotions near Phoenix City, but it seemed that he failed to meet the requirements and the ability remained motionless.

It seems that we can only wait for the rumors to fully ferment and spread among the crowd.

The capture personnel who were squatting in Phoenix City also found nothing. They squatted for a whole day and found no sign of the balloon clown.

Fortunately, people were prepared for a long-term battle and never let up. At about ten o'clock in the evening, the balloon clowns finally began to appear sporadically.

The capture team's operation went very smoothly, and all three balloon clowns were captured intact.

Next, it was time for Wagner to demonstrate his skills.

Three clowns were enough for him to curse in different ways.

As the first clown was in place, he took out a rusty butcher knife from the material bag he carried with him.

The first curse, "Bloody Strangulation."

He held the butcher's knife in his hand, approached the clown, and stopped when he was half a meter away. His mental power sketched a complex and evil spell model in the air, and he cut his fingers with the butcher's knife.

Seeing this, Luke couldn't help but worry about him. Is he really not afraid of tetanus if he does this?

But Wagner is clearly confident.

He dripped the blood from his fingertips onto the magic circle that appeared out of thin air, and the blood instantly dyed the magic circle red.

All of a sudden, the feeling of a cursed wizard came over me.

Then, with a flick of his free left index finger, the magic circle was directly imprinted on the Balloon Clown's chest.

He muttered some words in his mouth, and a red line so subtle that it was almost invisible emerged from the magic circle on the clown's chest, drilling directly into the void and extending to an unknown location.

During this process, Wagner continued to output mental power to maintain the operation of the red line.

The whole process lasted for more than 20 minutes. As Wagner turned from confident to sweating profusely, the blood-red thread still seemed to have not found the target at the other end.

Seeing that time was getting longer and longer and his mental energy consumption was increasing, he finally made up his mind and quickly took out a scarecrow from the material bag.

The scarecrow was only about the size of an ordinary person's hand. It looked ordinary and had no special aura. The only special thing was that it had some blood-red hair-like things growing all over its body.

Wagner glanced at the scarecrow, as if he was a little reluctant to part with it, but finally made up his mind, pinched a red hair with his thumb and index finger, pulled hard, and pulled out a long hair.

As the red hair was pulled away, the scarecrow became visibly looser, as if it would disintegrate if it was pulled out again.

Wagner took a distressed look, put it back into his bag, and then spit out a gloomy gray-green flame from his mouth, igniting the dark red hair.

With a "boom", the hair exploded, and then instantly turned into ashes. The ashes were different from the black and gray after ordinary objects were burned. Instead, they looked like dark red blood dried and ground into powder.

Under Wagner's control, the ashes floated toward the Balloon Clown, fell on the red thread protruding from its chest, and then melted and adhered to it.

The silk thread became bright red and translucent, as if blood was about to drip out at any time, and an unknown meaning of old age emanated from it.

The efficiency of the silk thread blessed by the red hair was greatly improved. After more than ten seconds, it seemed as if it had found the target and became straight, as if the other end had entered another body.

Wagner had quick eyesight and quick hands, and the fingers of his right hand changed several gestures like seals. Countless dead souls struggled to surge outward from the rusty butcher knife in his hand.

He directly stabbed the knife into the magic circle on the chest of the balloon clown. A dead soul in the butcher's knife roared with resentment and was annihilated without a trace. The clown who was stabbed in the chest by the butcher's knife also fell to the ground without a word, including the balloon in his hand. None exploded.

The red thread shrank instantly, carrying strange curse energy to the other end.

Vaguely, there seemed to be screams.

"Damn it!"

A weird and crazy voice came from the chaos of the void.

What followed was a bright death light, which broke through the space and headed straight for Wagner.

That death light seemed to have a strong effect in creating fear. The first time it appeared, everyone present was stunned, with confused, scared, and panicked looks on their faces, as if they were experiencing the most terrifying scene in their lives. .

The same is true for Luke. In his feeling, the ability tree in his body began to absorb his own energy and flesh and blood uncontrollably, growing and growing without limit. The branches and trunks also turned into entities, from his eyes, ears and all parts of his body. It grows everywhere, turning itself into a pile of dead flesh.

Fortunately, he also possesses the "fear" divinity, and he recovered in just an instant.

Is this my biggest fear? Concerns about golden fingers.

Yes.

Although he has made so much progress, evolving from a mortal to a heroic superhuman, all of this comes from the functions of Goldfinger, and he has no idea where the ability tree comes from or how it operates.

Luke was worried for only a second, and then put the problem behind him in an instant.

With his abilities, if he were to become self-taught without the ability tree, he would have been stuck in the same place for the past year.

If you abandon the ability tree because of this kind of worry, it can only be said to be a waste of food and a brain-dead person.

Therefore, Luke easily got rid of this dilemma using the logic of solving the problem of fear of ghosts in his previous life.

If there really is a ghost, the worst it can do is kill me. If there is no ghost to kill me, it means there is no ghost.

It stands out that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

The reason why Luke had so many moments to think without having to think about helping others was naturally because there was a strong man on the field who was not affected by the death ray at all - Albert.

Before the death light reached Wagner, he had already faced it. With a simple punch, dense ripples of power exploded, directly canceling out the death light and pulling back the people who were in fear.

"How is it?" Albert looked at Wagner, "Was it eliminated?"

Wagner's face was full of confidence: "After it is eliminated, I will use the red hair given to me by my ancestors. If I can't kill it, it will be too shameful. The remaining two balloon clowns are useless, so get rid of them." .Also, the location where the clown is located should not be a restricted area. It is like an alien space cut out from this world. That space is very tightly sealed. Now the owner there is alarmed. I can't find the specific coordinates. Location."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came to report that the two balloon clowns in custody had died of their own accord for no apparent reason.

The plan to remove the firepower was successful.

But Luke's plan also has to be tried again.

At night, he stayed at Waldburg and continued to look for the opportunity to activate [Desecration].

Time passed by minute by minute.

At four or five o'clock in the morning, Luke was meditating. Suddenly, the branch of the ability tree representing [Profanity] shone slightly. The skill that had been ineffective until activated finally started to move, and the branches swayed to Luke. message.

"Profanity is enabled, please select interception ratio."

The ability to steal faith by blasphemous ability is not static. If the caster is cautious and wants to have a smooth flow of water, he can only steal at a ratio of one or two percent. Unless he encounters a poor and stingy person like Luke. It is also sensitive, and the probability of being discovered by the original owner is relatively low.

If it's a one-shot deal, you can intercept everything directly, but that's not called stealing, it's called robbery.

Luke pressed an emergency button to remind the people in the anomaly processing team that they could take action. After a while, many people came to protect the law. They were worried that the clown would use the death ray attack again. Even Albert also came forward. Come.

After getting ready, Luke began to officially activate the [Desecration] ability.

His ultimate goal was to stop the actions of the Balloon Clown. Improving himself was only incidental, so he directly chose the most violent and easiest to detect all interceptions.

The first moment he made his decision, a large amount of fear surged towards the ability tree like a river overflowing.

The roots representing the "fear" divinity absorb these fears and nourish their own growth. However, for a thin ray of divinity, these energies are too huge and majestic. Soon, the energy at the roots It's already overflowing.

With no other choice, the excess fear was diverted to the [Dreaded Crow] skill.

Albert and several others guarded Luke from about four in the morning until the evening of the next day.

The others took turns to eat and rest, but Albert, as Waldburg's highest combat power, stayed by Luke's side from beginning to end to prevent him from being attacked from another space.

Derry Town, a remote town far away from Phoenix, was formed by the gathering of lumberjacks during the American pioneer period.

For a long time, this place has been filled with a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, except for one thing, which is that the ratio of missing children to dead children in this town is far higher than six times the overall average in the Lighthouse Country.

Of course, this is just a thing of the past.

After all, this ratio occurs only once every 27 years.

But it's different now. For more than a year, ever since that terrifying monster appeared, it has never returned.

Shortly after the monster appeared, Deli Town completely lost contact with the outside world.

At first, it was impossible to get out, and some residents tried to escape. However, once they left the town for a certain distance, they were blocked by a strange force as if they had encountered a common "air wall" in the game.

But at this time, people can still see the scene outside the town.

A month later, the scene outside the "air wall" gradually became blurry, as if the outside and inside of the town had become two worlds.

Another half month has passed, and even the sun in the sky is getting dimmer.

Finally, the sun and moon shining over the town disappeared, replaced by a huge clown mask that remained unchanged, emitting blood-red light.

The mask would grin from time to time and irregularly, revealing several rows of sharp teeth inside, and let out a weird laugh.

Whenever this happens, a small town resident will be pulled up into the air by an invisible force, chewed and devoured by the terrifying giant mouth, and then fall to the ground in a rain of blood and flesh.

This relatively prosperous town originally had a population of two to three thousand people. However, in this terrifying and depressing atmosphere, in addition to those who were directly swallowed by monsters, there were also some who chose to commit suicide in despair. Until now, only About a thousand people are still alive.

Fortunately, the town's food reserves are relatively sufficient. With only half of the town's residents left, even if they are just sitting on empty food, it will be enough for the remaining survivors to eat and drink for more than half a year.

As for half a year later?

It’s not certain whether everyone is alive or not, who cares so much.

On the afternoon Luke captured the feeling of fear in Phoenix and surrounding towns.

Pennywise was already very annoyed when the Balloon Clown was killed in Derry Town.

This clown who can clone himself in large numbers is a perfect work that was born unexpectedly. Apart from his weak body, he basically has no shortcomings.

As a result, the happiness suddenly disappeared within a few days.

Angry and angry, he fought back from afar, but was easily shattered by a strange strong man.

Well, he endured it!

Anyway, there is still some residual fear that can be absorbed.

While the influence of the Balloon Clown is still here, continue to enjoy the massive dose of fear-enhancing effects.

Unexpectedly, while eating a living person and singing a song, Luke suddenly stopped all his fear.

After a little sensing, he discovered that his power of faith had been stolen, no, robbed, and he even sensed the address clearly.

It's still a familiar place, and there's a familiar smell next to it.

Damn you!

The man who just killed me is robbing me of my "money"!

It is tolerable, but what is intolerable?

But most of Pennywise's energy and foundation were used in running Derry Town. Thinking about the strong man who could smash everything to death with one punch, he really might not be able to fight after leaving Derry Town. Pass.

The clown mask in the sky suddenly became irritable and restless. The three light spots on its head kept spinning and turning, as if it wanted to be stimulated, but after running for a long time, it finally stopped moving.

Then, the irritable clown opened his mouth and swallowed more than a dozen people at once. After grinding and chewing for half an hour, he spit out the remains of those people.
