My baby is gone again

Chapter 146 The Clown's Stage Play
Ancheng.

In an ordinary house.

"It's raining again today."

Yang Huan, who was paralyzed on the sofa, got up, took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator, stretched himself, and walked into the room.

Tomorrow is a day off, no need to go to work... and no overtime.

Yang Huan opened the curtains and stood by the window, watching the night and listening to the sound of rain outside.

With a "chick", he forcefully opened the coke can.

On a rainy night, at home alone, rest tomorrow...

Since graduating from university, Yang Huan hasn't relaxed like this for a long time.

Yang Huan raised his neck and took a big sip of iced Coke. Yang Huan let out a long breath and took out a box of game discs from his bag.

【A stage play by a clown】/"Hypocritical Drama".

If translated directly, it can be translated into... a stage play of a clown.

But since free translation is used, there must be a reason.

Yang Huan is a very ordinary laborer. After graduation, he found an ordinary job. He has a boss who likes to paint cakes for people, and a boss who likes to brag in front of newcomers.

As for the salary, it's fair to say that after deducting the rent and normal expenses every month, I can still save a little money.

In addition to this identity, he is also a horror game enthusiast. Young people in modern cities live under a lot of pressure. Yang Huan likes the sense of relaxation that comes after the thrilling stimulation.

"Drama of Hypocrisy" is a newly released popular game. It has been very popular on the Internet recently. There are rumors that this game is really scary.

Yang Huan scoffed at this statement, knowing that it was a marketing tactic of the game company.

This kind of gossip about "a certain game scares people to death" happens every year, and after a little thought, it turns out that the project manager posted it on a small account.

The price is 444 Dayan coins. Originally, Yang Huan was going to ask the sister at the front desk to watch a movie today, but the sister at the front desk had already made an appointment.

But it was raining today and it was inconvenient to go out, so the sister at the front desk had to go to the man's house for a date.

A clown was painted on the game box, wearing circus clothes, with colorful hair, but a head without any flesh and blood.

This is a skeleton clown, the flesh on the face has been scraped off, but there are two eyes in the eye sockets, grinning loudly.

Being stared at by the skeleton clown, Yang Huan felt a little uncomfortable, so he quickly opened the box and knocked it face down on the table.

He took out the box and took out a gold coin.

Of course, the gold coins are not real gold. This is a gift from the game disc. After all, it is a collector's edition. If you don't give anything at all, it will be somewhat stingy.

The front of the gold coin features a skeleton clown and a bouquet of black roses on the back—

This is mentioned in the background of the game, the black rose is the clown's favorite flower.

Yang Huan inserted the game disc into the computer to read it, and by the way expressed his feelings about the development history of Yuanxing Technology.

Computers that have been around for more than 100 years can be used to read video discs. Later, special playback machines appeared. Seeing that the function of computers to read discs was about to be cancelled, game manufacturers stepped in and carved out game discs and put them on computers. Play.

I heard that major foreign manufacturers have begun to research machines specialized in playing games...

Yang Huan was looking forward to it, and then thought about his salary, and estimated that he would have to save money for a while.

After a while, after the game was installed, Yang Huan entered the activation code, and an image of a skeleton clown appeared on the monitor.

Yang Huan took a sip of iced cola and started to explore and operate.

The protagonist of the game is a circus clown who suddenly woke up one night and found himself in an abandoned amusement park.

The amusement park is dilapidated and overgrown with weeds, and next to the clown is the head of a big dog.

The clown recognized her, her name was Angie, she was the star of the circus, she earned a lot of tickets for the boss, and many people liked her.

As a clown in the circus, the clown envies Angie.

But now, Angie's eyes were gouged out, and blood flowed from the hollow eye sockets. The clown found a note in her eye sockets with some messages written in it.

The clown must leave the abandoned amusement park before dawn, or he will be trapped here forever.

In addition, there are some tips for players on it, which are messy and dirty.

Such as [you are a lion], [I am an elephant], [the tiger will eat you], [the tiger's stomach is safe], [the prince is a princess], [the princess has the head of a horse], etc. .

Yang Huan looked at the prompt on the note, and knew in his heart that there should be some puzzle-solving elements in this game.

He controlled the clown, ran in the amusement park, and passed one level after another with his rich experience and game file loading function.

Humanoid monsters live in every level, ferocious and ferocious, and the clown tries to kill them and move towards the goal.

Until the last level, he came to an old castle.

Of course, the castle in the amusement park will not be that tall and big. This is a specialized level in the game.

According to the hint on the note, there is a princess living in the castle.

The princess let down her hair, and the clown grabbed the princess's hair, and bravely climbed up the castle like a prince.

But when he climbed up the castle, he found that it was not a princess waiting near the window, but a head stuck in the window.

It was a beautiful head, with blond hair and pale blue eyes like jewels.

At the neck, there are rough sutures, and the beautiful head is connected with the body of a luxuriously dressed man.

The clown raised his head, and there was a slim figure sitting not far from him, and a horse's head was sewn on the head of this figure.

"Ta, ta, ta..."

Inside the castle, the sound of high heels sounded.

A figure appeared in a long dress of a princess, with a crooked crown on his head.

He looks like a clown.

The clown suddenly remembered that the clown with the crown in front of him was himself.

As a clown in the circus, although the clown has been working very hard to bring joy to the audience, not many people think highly of him.

Because as long as you put on paint and a wig, anyone can be a clown, and no one cares who is under the paint and wig.

The only person willing to talk to him is the female clown, his partner, but when the circus owner's son returns from the big city, everything changes.

The son of the circus owner brought back something called "stage play" after seeing the outside world.

Since then, the female clown has become a princess, and the prince is naturally the son of the circus owner.

The stage play was hugely popular, and clowns were involved.

Of course, in the stage play, he is still the clown, the eternal supporting role.

Until one day, the clown who drank bad ale in the bar and drank his sorrows had a dream.

After waking up from the dream, he returned to the circus.

The clown regained the sunshine of the past, greeted others with a smile, and seriously participated in the rehearsal.

Even the boss praised him for working hard recently.

Until the day of the stage play.

The princess was captured by the villains and brought to the castle. The villain was played by the clown, of course.

The brave prince set off to save the princess, killed many monsters along the way, and finally arrived at the castle.

In the castle, the clown raised his ax high.

According to the script, the prince will act in time to save the princess.

But this is a stage play for clowns.

The wooden prop ax was replaced with a real sharp axe, and the clown cut off the princess's head, and blood spattered out.

At first, the audience thought it was part of the show, but they screamed in horror after the clown cut the prince down.

In the center of the stage, the clown cut off the head of a horse, held the horse's head, and sewed it on the princess.

Amidst the confusion and screams, the clown hugged the princess's body, his face contorted, and he laughed exaggeratedly.

"Now, you should wake up."

The clown wearing a crown and a princess dress said to Yang Huan.

The clown lives in pain, numb and unaware. Only by pouring out his pain on others can he awaken his true self.

A gold coin appeared in front of Yang Huan.

The clown on the computer and Yang Huan in reality picked up the gold coins on the table at the same time.

The gold coin was thrown upwards, flipping in the air.

"Ding."

A crisp sound sounded, and the gold coin turned upside down.

Yang Huan grinned and laughed.

………………

"A murder case occurred in Qianhui International Building!"

"The people on the whole floor are all dead!"

"Yang Huan, works for XX advertising company... Suspected of being infected by [Joker]."

"The scene of the crime was tragic. Everyone had their heads cut off."

"When our people arrived, Yang Huan was sitting among a pile of corpses, his entire face was peeled off by himself, and he was still holding a game box in his arms."

"How did this black disc circulate on the market?!"

"We went to check the local market, and the boss said that he had no impression of this disc...Suspected thinking has been disturbed."

"Fix that CD box and don't look into its eyes! There's something wrong with that thing."

Inside the Ancheng Tianshu Management Office, the staff nervously analyzed the situation.

[Joker] is the latest taboo creature they discovered, and it belongs to the master [Golden Throne].

The clown has a strong infectious ability, and can erode the real world through film and television images and game novels.

………………

"What happened again?"

Under Qianhui International Building, Lu Xuan, who was shopping with Cheng Lingzhu and passing by here, frowned.

The people from the Anti-Investigation Department set up a cordon and sealed off the floor, but Lu Xuan checked with his spiritual sense and discovered the problem.

Blood was everywhere on the entire floor, and more than thirty people died. The murderer was a skeleton dressed as a clown.

Although there was no flesh and blood on his face, it gave the impression that he was laughing wildly.

Lu Xuan pondered, it is necessary for him to get in touch with the local officials.

The drive core fragments of the battleship have not yet fallen, so we might as well solve these taboo masters first.

The Yuanxing official is responsible for providing information, and he is responsible for calling the door.

What is this called? I heard it in the morning, and I can die in the evening.

With this in mind, Lu Xuan circulated his mana, and a crack in space emerged.

While the operatives from the Tianshu Management Office were cleaning up the scene, he touched his "evidence", that is, the clown CD.

Well, a gold coin is also included.

………………

"The game rating system is a good thing."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly.

When the Great Yan Dynasty was at its peak, it was known as the Lighthouse of Civilization. Even if it is declining now, it is still the boss of Yuanxing.

It is much better than the poor haha ​​who are still developing in the Eastern Continent.

At this time, it is time to mention the political system of the Great Yan Dynasty.

More than 400 years ago, on the land of Dayan, a total of twelve countries coexisted and fought with each other endlessly.

At this time, the [Holy Tara Empire] from the south invaded the Great Flame Domain.

In order to fight against the holy Tara, the twelve Great Yan Kings joined forces to establish the Great Yan Alliance.

In the end, the war was won, and the Great Yan League did not disband immediately, but continued to carry out some political and economic cooperation.

In the process, the Yan people discovered the benefits of union.

After constant frictions and struggles, coupled with the introduction of some thoughts from the East, the Great Yan Empire was finally established 200 years ago.

Due to the problems left over from history, Dayan has more political elements.

For example, Dayan has an emperor, and the emperor comes out of the twelve families in rotation.

But the real power holders are the consuls of the Senate, that is, the Great Elders.

It is worth mentioning that the emperor and the consul cannot come from the same family. The question was intentional when the rules were first made.

In addition to the consul and the emperor, there is also the prime minister of the cabinet, which is the apex that ordinary people can achieve, and inherits the functions of the ancient prime minister.

Lu Xuan was noncommittal about this, let alone culture, technology and politics, the entire civilization on this planet was born from a core fragment of a high-level civilized warship...

So when looking at Yuan Xing, Lu Xuan occasionally has a...very unreal feeling.

After inserting the game disc, the icon of the clown skull appeared, and Yang Huan's previous save file disappeared, so he had to start from scratch.

For Lu Xuan, these were not a big problem, since Cheng Lingzhu was by his side, there was nothing to be nervous about.

The clown in the game is nothing more than a clown who bullies and bullies mortals, and will be picked up by it later and chopped off with a sword.

Soon, Lu Xuan came to the final stage.

The skeleton clown picked up the gold coin and tossed it up.

The real Lu Xuan also picked up the gold coin and threw it upwards.

The clown grinned:
"Jie Jie..."

The laughter was only halfway through, and it got stuck in his throat.

Because it found that the coin in its hand turned tails up.

In reality, the coin in Lu Xuan's hand also had the side of the black rose facing up.

This is completely impossible.

Because the orientation of the coin is controlled by the clown.

"Take good luck and avoid bad luck, do you understand?"

Lu Xuan laughed.

The clown tossed it again in disbelief, and the side of the black rose was still facing up.

Then the third time, the fourth time...

Until one time, the skeleton clown screamed and hugged his head.

Lu Xuanxin said that this can be regarded as a hidden easter egg and the second ending.

He snapped his fingers. During the game, the clown's body exploded like fireworks, ushering in its bad ending.
