Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

The clowns froze, their faces blank. Before they could even realize what had happened, they were already dead!
At the same time, their spirituality will transform into a wisp of mist and dissipate from this place.

But Chen Ye played the suona in time, immediately locking onto the spirit of these clowns and pulling them directly into the ocean of their subconscious, intending to extract their memories from it.

Soon, accompanied by the sound of suona horns, the clowns instantly transformed into white mist. Their faces were still contorted with the terror of impending death, completely bewildered as to why such a terrible thing had suddenly befallen them.

"Come with me," Chen Ye said coldly.

Next, he played the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument) to guide the spirits of the clowns to the area where the subconscious light cluster was located.

As the suona music began, colorful light curtains appeared all around, as if we had entered a unique spiritual world.

This spirit world appears vast and boundless, seemingly without any boundaries.

Chen Ye used the [Eye of Destiny] to pinpoint the location of the three clowns and their corresponding subconscious orbs of light.

next second.

Three pairs of wings appeared on his back!

That's right!

Reaching Chen Ye's level, one has already condensed three pairs of angel wings, making one a six-winged angel!

Once you reach the level of a six-winged angel, you will have no restrictions in the spirit world, and you can even reach the boundless and distant sky city by simply flying.

Condensed into a six-winged angel, placing it within the ranks of [Spirit Angels] is already considered quite high!

They even possess the ability to advance to the sixth job advancement!

only.

Chen Ye isn't thinking about making such a quick leap to the sixth job advancement yet. He still needs to refine his skills and obtain some materials for the sixth job advancement in Sky City.

After all, the materials provided in Sky City are extremely valuable, and the beings there are all terrifying. You need a True Self Pill to move around in that place.

Now, what Chen Ye is preparing to do is to lock onto the subconscious oceans of these two clowns, send them to their corresponding memory areas, and obtain their memories.

next second...

Chen Ye spread his wings, and his flight speed became incredibly fast!

With a swift movement, the surrounding subconscious light clusters receded rapidly backward, instantly creating a lot of space.

His flight speed was like a long rainbow, shuttling through a vast array of subconscious light.

Through these orbs of light, one can see many different memories, all existing within these orbs, and occasionally, one can also see some scattered fragments of memories.

Most of them are people from a bizarre era, constantly striving to survive in these dangerous places.

Sometimes you can also see some sinister monsters, which have huge bodies and constantly traverse this area, unleashing terrifying power.

If it were a normal "spirit angel," lacking the guidance of the "Eye of Fortune," trying to examine these subconscious orbs of light one by one, it's estimated that it would never be able to obtain the memories of these spirits in its entire life.

However, with Chen Ye's strength, he can completely reach the other side of the other shore. Because he possesses the exclusive talent of the [Eye of Luck], Chen Ye can quickly lock onto the memories of these spirits and determine which direction they correspond to. As long as he goes to the location of these memories in time, he can find the place of their memories before the spirits completely dissipate.

Before long, Chen Ye saw the subconscious orbs of light connecting the three clowns become more solid and closer!

soon.

Three dark red orbs of aura were tightly connected, forming the memories of these clowns.

With a thought, Chen Ye entered these subconscious orbs of light, intending to thoroughly examine the memories of these clowns to see what they contained and what they were plotting.

Chen Ye quickly skipped over the boring parts at the beginning.

Let's take a closer look at what the Joker has been arranging and planning recently.

Not long after, Chen Ye accessed the clown's memories.

They lived in Area 132, a castle located above this cave, which was many times larger than the Clown Area that Chen Ye had previously visited.

There are nearly a thousand clowns living in this place.

That could be considered a branch headquarters!

What surprised Chen Ye the most was that there was a poker clown who had been to this branch, and his rank was not low at all, even reaching the level of the five of hearts!

"So the Five of Hearts was here before?"

Chen Ye's mind stirred, and he immediately became particularly concerned about this branch.

However, there isn't much information about the Five of Hearts, since the other party only came briefly, seemed to have explained something, and then left.

As for the specifics of what happened, these fourth-tier clowns are simply not qualified to know so much.

Regardless, Chen Ye had pinpointed the location of that branch, and the task assigned to these clowns was simply to patrol the area; they were nothing more than the smallest of the small fry, insignificant in comparison.

"However, this branch is still dangerous. After all, there are traces of a poker clown who came here. Moreover, the clown with the big footprint should be considered an elite clown, with strength of around level six. He is not an easy opponent."

Through his vast memory, Chen Ye immediately knew exactly what kind of situation this clown in the branch was.

Simply put, there are a large number of people, and many of them are highly skilled.

Compared to the branch they had previously fought alongside Bai Chen and others against, this one had significantly more combat power.

Think of this.

Chen Ye immediately withdrew from the sea of ​​subconsciousness and completely annihilated the souls of the three clowns!
As a spiritual thought flew out...

The spirits of the three clowns were instantly killed by Chen Ye and vanished into nothingness.

Originally, the Joker's spirit was already in a very weak state after it was extracted.

Therefore... Chen Ye only needs to send a thought to kill the clown instantly!

"Next, we should deal with this branch!"

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and began climbing up the rock passage above.

With the help of the [Lightless Stalker], although there was a large, discontinuous staircase ahead with seemingly little room to climb, Chen Ye, in his dark matter form, could directly traverse the shadows between the steps and quickly reached the entrance to the top passage.

There was a huge rock here, piled up to form a fortress, and three or four clowns, holding torches, stood guard nearby. "The light from these clowns' torches has the effect of countering [Assassin] and [Stealth] skills..."

"If I rush over there rashly, the firelight will reveal my true identity, instantly exposing my form, and at that moment, the clown will immediately sound the alarm!"

"At that time, not only these three or four clowns on lookout, but also all the clowns in the entire branch, including the clowns from other branches, will receive an alarm and surround this place!"

"We still need to be more careful and cautious!"

"After all, this branch has been visited by the Poker Joker before, so it's not a simple place. Therefore, we need to be extremely careful when operating here!"

Using his unique talent, [Infinite Deduction], Chen Ye cleared out some potential threats and realized that he couldn't simply go behind the clowns, stab them, and end their lives.

The torch in the clown's hand has the ability to detect stealth...

One's own unique "Lightless Stalker" aura is countered by these torches, making it impossible to maintain stealth.

Of course, things won't turn out the way we expected...

Get behind the Joker as fast as you can, use your ability to hide in the shadows to stab the Joker, and then take them all away!

This method is practically no longer feasible!

The remaining solution is quite obvious!

Chen Ye hid far away and began playing the suona, controlling the volume so that it wouldn't be too loud, just enough to attract the attention of the three or four clowns.

"There's a sound coming from there..."

The clowns standing guard at the door were immediately drawn to the sound of the suona horn.

Followed by.

From the shadows, several flashes of light suddenly appeared, instantly slicing the clowns' necks and swiftly killing the three or four clowns guarding the post!

"Finally dead!"

Chen Ye emerged from the shadowy rocks behind him, stepping over the corpses beneath his feet.

After the clown who was guarding the place was gone, Chen Ye used the characteristics of "Painted Skin" to remove the clown's costume and put it on himself, changing into the clown's mask.

Even the spiritual aura was adjusted to be exactly the same as those clowns.

Then, he took out the Scroll of Blazing Sun from the spatial ring of the Infinite City.

As the spiritual energy was channeled into it, the Scroll of Blazing Sun immediately unleashed a torrent of flames, engulfing the corpses and burning them completely.

Having done all this, Chen Ye swaggered past the main entrance and headed straight for the Joker's headquarters.

soon.

The area Chen Ye arrived in was filled with clowns lying around.

They smelled foul.

It feels like I haven't showered in days!

Suddenly, a spider crawled out from the corner of the dormitory. The clown, who was passing by, immediately raised his boot with long socks and stomped on the spider, causing it to burst with juice on the ground!
"Damn spiders! What kind of hell is this place?! I can't stand being here for another second!"

"We'll have to kill all these players sooner or later so we can move into the West Street area!"

"Sigh, I heard that the last operation resulted in a total annihilation, with over a thousand clowns killed. Luckily, our branch didn't go up, or we would have been dead too!"

Hearing the clowns' chatter, Chen Ye's eyes immediately turned cold.

"As expected, the players of the Weird Era have been under attack by the Joker recently, because they had planned this all along!"

"This place must be destroyed!"

As he blended into the night, Chen Ye once again entered stealth mode.

He counted carefully and found that there were over a hundred clowns in the dormitory. There was also a palace at the back that connected several areas, all of which had many clowns residing there.

It's not an easy task to wipe them out in a short period of time.

Moreover, many of the clowns here have the strength to advance from the third to the fourth level, and their numbers are unimaginable!
Chen Ye never expected that there would be so many high-level clowns in one place at the same time.

With his suona playing, it would be very difficult for him to control hundreds of clowns in an instant, let alone instantly annihilate the souls of thousands of clowns!
Thinking of this, Chen Ye immediately realized that he needed to adjust his next move and lie in wait in the darkness to kill them slowly!

At least... the clown in this dormitory is the most remote from the other palaces, the weakest, and the most peripheral clown.

Chen Ye made a deduction.

Using his unique talent [Infinite Deduction], Chen Ye discovered that if he secretly killed a clown, a loud alarm would immediately sound in the area, spreading throughout all regions!

At that time, the clown will have a confrontation with himself, and then realize that he is no match for Chen Ye, and will try to escape.

In this simulation, Chen Ye killed only a few hundred clowns, which is not much more than that.

Even with hundreds of clowns, we still got several million strategy points, but not ten million yet. That's because many of the clowns in the outer area are at the third rank, and the strategy points they get are between fifty thousand and one hundred thousand, so it's hard to get a very high number.

Seeing this result, Chen Ye quickly abandoned the idea of ​​killing the clown immediately, and instead wondered where these alarms were coming from.

Just then, Chen Ye scanned his surroundings with the gaze of the [Eye of Luck] and immediately spotted a scarlet eyeball in the corner, hanging on the northwest wall of the dormitory, as if it were monitoring the actions of every clown.

When Chen Ye's gaze focused on that eyeball, his unique talent, [Blood Letter Research], was automatically activated—

The Eyes of the Surveillancer

【Characteristic: Perception System】

[Description: This system can monitor all the clowns, observing their activities and assessing their strength. If a clown suffers an unnatural death, the monitor's eyes will automatically report this to the sensor system, triggering a full alarm and alerting all the clowns present that the area has been attacked and a defense and counterattack must be immediately organized.]

"So this is what reminded the clown here?"

Chen Ye's lips curled up slightly.

Once we know the source, things will be much easier!
Immediately, Chen Ye re-entered the [Lightless Stalker] mode, his figure moving swiftly through the dark dormitory.

The clowns' quarters were almost entirely devoid of light, with only a few clowns holding flashlights and haphazardly illuminating the space. (End of Chapter)
