The Death Knell

Su Ming didn't answer the big spider's question anymore, as if he didn't hear it and just smiled.

Then it seemed to lose interest in climbing the tree. The spider turned into a mummy again and fell from the tree with a thud. The linen bandages on its body were suddenly covered with rainwater.

Then, he danced in an ancient Egyptian style, and a dried dead face emerged from under the bandage.

The smiling Deathstroke crossed his arms and smoked a cigarette, admiring the dance of the mummy and said:

"Your power comes from the human heart. You have eternal life. As long as humans exist, you will not die completely."

"An ancient Egyptian wrote a book and thought that I would starve to death, but in reality, hey, I would only rest for 27 years at most, and you know, time has no meaning in this world."

The mummy answered, and his voice became like rough gravel:

"In short, whenever someone has evil intentions and slanders others, I will gain strength, because the greatest use of adult imagination is to speculate on others."

"For example?" The Supreme Mage motioned to the mummy to continue.

"For example, if you see two men hugging each other and patting each other on the street, some people may think, 'These two people may be gay, how disgusting.' In this way, his dark fantasy power is used by me. .”

The mummy turned into a vampire again. He seemed to be showing off his skills to Deathstroke, but he kept talking about this topic, as if he was afraid that the cowboy would not understand:

"For another example, when someone hates another person and fantasizes about how to hurt the latter, then I will be awakened by disgust and hatred and help people solve their problems."

When Mysterio heard this, he probably already understood.

This clown is not a clown, he is a ‘concept’ related to the current world, and his attributes are also dark.

But maybe neither the teacher nor himself had any fear, so he couldn't become Pennywise's prey at all, so this guy chose to cooperate and try to get the two of them to leave early.

After saying so much, it was nothing more than to eliminate all doubts between the two of them, and then make the gunslinger lose interest and continue traveling.

"What does it mean to solve problems?" she asked proactively. After all, she wanted to apply what she had learned.

"Oh that's a good question lady, I'm not actually evil because I'm like Santa Claus from the town of Derry."

The vampire touched his fangs and began to transform again while biting his cigar, but the voice still came steadily:

"Actually, what I do is help people in the town realize their wishes. If some people think that they are disgusting with homosexuals, then I will kill one of the lovers to prevent them from showing affection and disgusting others; some people think that children are disgusting with others. If there are monsters running around in the street screaming and annoying, then I will kill the child and give everyone peace. Some people dislike their wives, some people dislike their parents, and some people dislike the world. I will help them realize their wishes. I said I am Derry Town.”

Words poured out of his mouth quickly, and the vampire's fangs were clearly exposed in his smile, but as he spoke, he turned into an indescribable creature.

A giant eye, with a glass-like black pupil more than half a meter wide, and the iris is yellow and turbid, the color of dead leaves.

The whites of the eyes were swollen, puffy, and covered with pulsating bloodshot eyes. There were no eyelids or eyelashes, as if a ball of gelatinous disgusting substance was rolling in the center of densely packed tentacles.

But in front of the two supreme mages, it was not enough. I had seen too many in the past, and even Su Ming was still smoking calmly and standing motionless:

“So when someone complains that there are too many children in the family and the couple’s income cannot support them, you will eat their children, and children aged seven or eight happen to be the most annoying, so they become your staple food. Hmm, it sounds like you are a wishing djinn, haha, just a dark version."

"And there's no limit to the number of wishes you can make." The big eyeball made a sound for some reason, and he didn't know where the previous cigar had gone, but the eyeball was laughing: "So you want me to turn back into a clown? You want balloons?" ?"

.....................

Deathstroke and the mysterious guest once again walked in the town of Delhi. It seemed like nothing happened here. It was still raining heavily in the sky, washing the streets clean.

"So he died like that?"

Mysterio seemed a little unwilling. She and the teacher easily killed the monster, but it was so easy that there was no real sense of it, even if the sticky and stinky bodily fluids not long ago wrapped around their ankles.

It was like having a dream. Now that the rain has poured down on me and I woke up, everything that happened in the dream seemed like it had never happened.

"Different worlds have different operating rules. You said that this is "The Return of the Clown" but it is not completely accurate. This is the original world of "Dead Light"."

Deathstroke shook his head. He held an umbrella in one hand and put the other hand on the holster:

"He is a clown, a spider, any monster you can think of, and it is IT, which refers to all monsters. In another 27 years, it will emerge from the depths of the ground again and start helping people realize their wishes again. , Unless you want to kill everyone in this world, or make them all idiots who can't connect their minds, otherwise, the 'Death Ray' will never be completely eliminated."

"And we obviously don't have that many 27 years to stay here to solve the problem." Mysterio nodded. She was not a superhero, and her kindness was also very limited: "But the concept in a single universe is so tenacious. How should we deal with the agent Merlin?"

"I have a plan, because Pennywise is the protagonist of this world, and he has a closer connection with humans. From a certain point of view, Merlin is much easier to deal with than him. Here, the door to the next world should be Just go from here.”

Deathstroke pointed to the house at No. 9 Wickham Street in front of him and said to the mysterious guest:

"The basement of this house is directly connected to the sewer, and Death Ray often wanders down here."

"I have another question, teacher, why is there a gap of 27 years?"

Liana put her hand on the teacher's arm, and the two walked toward the house that was shaking slightly in the wind and rain.

With a speechless expression on his face, Su Ming shook his head and asked Strangler to pick the lock and open the door:

"There is no truth, never has been. I can only give you my interpretation. That is, the sum of three nines equals twenty-seven, and 9 is the reversed 6. Three 6s are the code name of the devil in Europe and the United States. Inverted Coming here means that the 'Death Ray' is an anti-demon, I'm just guessing."

The mysterious guest followed the teacher into the hallway. There were many spider webs in the dusty room. She waved her little hands in disgust to prevent them from getting on her beautiful hair:

"So at the end of the day, we don't know exactly what it is."

"Otherwise, what meaning does the word monster have?"

Instead, Deathstroke smiled. He touched the student's head, took her to the basement, and continued:

"It is because there are all kinds of unknowns that our exploration is valuable. Monsters are monsters, but what he said about puppets, tsk, is interesting."
