Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 280: Freaks Will One Day Be Killed by the Prejudice of the World

"Everyone has a secret, a side of themselves that they hide."

"You can't tell if the gentle boy next door standing in front of you is secretly a bloodthirsty cannibal; if the caring older sister you pass by on the street is involved in an illegal organ trade; if the seemingly hardworking and frugal grandparents are actually fugitive drug lords hiding in plain sight..."

"So what's the Joker's secret?"

"You better hope you never know."

"Otherwise, I'm sorry to say you'll become a pathetic clown who will keep this secret forever."

Whispers echoed in Wu Wang's ears.

It was not like looking directly at the mark of the Abyss God, where the devil's mutterings could not be heard clearly, but it was like someone possessed and whispering in one's ear while one was half asleep.

Every word can be heard clearly, but it is difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

He frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

"Shh... where the hell did this come from? Is this still China?"

The scene before him was far beyond his expectations.

I thought it was a world in the mirror full of dangers.

However, what he saw unexpectedly was warm sunlight slanting in from the window, which made Wu Wang feel a little dazzling.

boom--

A rough book flew from a distance and hit Wu Wang's forehead hard.

"Hey! Is this where you're supposed to sleep?"

"If you can't learn, just stand outside!"

"Damn it, I don't know why this school would accept a freak like you."

The sound of insults not far away and the pain from the bruises brought him back to his senses.

Is this a school?

Wu Wang looked around.

I found that neither the architecture nor other people's clothing styles are modern.

It's not even the environment of Eastern China.

It's a bit like Western countries in the early 19th century.

As for the language, it seems to be a foreign language.

However, due to the special nature of the Calamity game copy, the language at this time allows players to understand its meaning by default.

Unless someone is speaking, it is difficult for other creatures in the dungeon to understand.

Otherwise, normal communication will not be hindered.

"Teacher, maybe her eyes are open, but they are covered by the hair on her face so we can't see them, hahaha!"

"Doesn't this mean I don't need to cover myself with a quilt when I sleep? After all, I always have a blanket to cover myself!"

Wu Wang stood up stiffly.

He walked out the door amidst the teacher's scolding and the classmates' ridicule.

I plan to observe the specific situation carefully.

Just getting ready to go out.

Then he ran into a man in formal attire.

When he walked in, the teacher in front of him who had been swearing immediately stopped.

He said respectfully, "Good morning, Principal Weiss. What brings you here?"

The man known as Principal Weiss smiled and nodded in response.

Then he said to his classmates, "I'm looking forward to everyone dressing up for the school dance tomorrow."

"I came here to look for Rapunzel."

"Could you please come out with me for a moment?"

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Wu Wang.

This made Wu Wang stunned.

No, buddy, wait a minute!
I seem to have heard this name somewhere!
If it wasn't a blonde princess from Disney, it could only be the long-haired Rapunzel that he had seen in the circus.

It seemed like he had thought of something.

Wu Wang raised his hand and touched his face.

The delicate touch of the fur made him startled.

He looked at the back of his hand again.

It was indeed covered with thick brown hair.

In an instant, he saw Rapunzel in the circus.

The image of the other person, like a ball of fur, appeared in my mind.

Am I Rapunzel?
Follow Principal Weiss out the door.

The moment the classroom door is closed.

The gentlemanly smile on the other person's face immediately disappeared.

Only disgust and disdain remain.

He said coldly, "You, write a note asking for leave later. You are not allowed to come to the school dance tomorrow!"

"Why?" Wu Wang frowned in confusion.

This doubt was only met with sarcastic ridicule from Principal Weiss.

"Hahahaha! Why else? Do you think you can find a dance partner? What man would be interested in a freak like you?"

He stretched out his hands and suddenly pressed down on Wu Wang's shoulders.

The strength of an adult man naturally made it impossible for Rapunzel's thin body to resist.

The other person's expression also became ferocious.

He threatened viciously, "And tomorrow's school dance is jointly hosted by the three best schools in our city."

"If we let a freak like you join us, what will others think of our school? Where will my dignity be?"

"Do you know how much more money your parents paid than others to allow you to go to school?"

"If you cause me any more trouble, I'd rather not take the money than get you out!"

Snapped--

After saying that, Principal Weiss pushed Wu Wang away heavily.

Walk towards the end of the corridor.

In the middle of the conversation, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and kept wiping his hand, which had just touched Wu Wang's shoulder in excitement.

Like it was something really dirty.

After wiping, throw the handkerchief directly to the side of the road.

Malice, deep malice.

It has only been a few minutes since Wu Wang opened his eyes.

Everyone he met showed him extreme disgust and rejection.

These malicious acts were undisguisedly inflicted on the teenage girl.

Wu Wang could roughly estimate the average age of the class from the appearance of his classmates.

It seems that this long-haired girl is suffering from atavism.

From a very young age, he was ostracized, isolated and subjected to various forms of violence.

It's really miserable.

But why is her image in the [Mirror of the Crying Clown]?

Thinking of this, Wu Wang decided to observe it for a while longer.

But unexpectedly, the moment he took a step forward.

My eyes went dark immediately.

All five senses, including vision, hearing, taste, smell and even perception, are lost.

The whole person seems to be falling into an endless dark abyss, and will never really reach the bottom and die.

But there was no way to stop the fall or climb up.

I do not know how long it has been.

The sound of disgusted complaints rang in my ears again——

"Get lost! Are you qualified to work here?"

"Crawl back to your mother and ask for milk, little mouse!"

“I feel like my dog ​​is bigger than him, hahaha!”

"..."

It was just like waking up from the classroom just now.

Wu Wang regained awareness of his surroundings.

This time it was in a bustling and noisy hall.

The surroundings are magnificent and the decorations are so exquisite that they are as dazzling as a palace.

The only problem is that it's all too grand.

The passers-by coming and going seemed as oppressive as the giant Allen in the circus; the counter in the hall in front of him was like an insurmountable wall; even the door behind him looked like an ancient city gate that needed to be opened with a battering ram.

This forced him to look up and scan everything.

And immediately reacted——

“It’s not that the environment has become bigger, but that I have become shorter?”

Sure enough, when Wu fell and looked at itself.

He suddenly discovered that he had become a dwarf, several inches shorter than a normal dwarf.

Basically, it is only slightly higher than a normal person's knee.

He immediately thought of the circus magician, Liu Xian.

He was wearing an ill-fitting suit and carrying a briefcase half his height.

It's as funny as a child wearing clothes owned by adults at home.

Even the shoes on his feet were "specially made" ones that were sawed off and then patched up to make them smaller.

boom--

A man walked by and bumped into Wu Wang hard.

Even compared with a normal person, the other person's physique is considered tall and strong, let alone compared with Wu Wang's current dwarf image.

This blow knocked Wu Wang to the ground and he rolled several times.

The man was the first to complain: "Who the hell put the suitcase in the middle of the road?"

"Little bastard, you've rubbed my pants dirty, do you know that?"

"Get out of here! Is this the place for you to stay?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to hit.

Wu Wang wanted to find out what was going on.

I could only pick up my briefcase and push the door open to leave.

Standing on the busy street, the traffic is whizzing by.

At this moment, I felt like I had accidentally entered the land of giants in Gulliver's Travels.

It seems out of place with all this.

"Gu~" At this moment, my stomach growled.

It looked like the dwarf hadn't eaten in a long time.

He opened his briefcase and rummaged through it.

All of them are job application contents cut out from newspapers.

In addition, there was a pocket watch and medical records.

When he opened the pocket watch, he saw a photo of a man and a woman.

The man was obviously Liu himself, who looked to be in his twenties.

The woman looked much older than him, and the wrinkles on her face made her look at least in her early fifties.

There are some similarities between the two people's appearance.

Wu Wang believed that this should be Liu Xian's mother.

After all, with this age difference, it is unlikely that they are siblings.

There was also a woman's name on the medical record, most likely the name of Liu's mother.

The content showed that her physical functions were extremely weak in all aspects.

There are various problems such as hypoglycemia, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased heart function, slow heart rate and anemia.

However, it looks scary.

In fact, in a sense, this is a situation that is extremely easy to solve.

"Long-term malnutrition..."

Wu Wang muttered to himself.

Judging from his attire and his hunger level.

Liu Xian's family background doesn't seem to be very good.

There is no one else in the photo with the pocket watch, which proves that he most likely comes from a single-parent family and has no father.

Now my mother is old and frail, and she suffers from long-term malnutrition.

Most likely he will soon be bedridden or has already been bedridden.

That's why Liu Xian was desperately looking for various jobs.

Trying to earn money so that my mother can have enough food to eat and alleviate her long-term malnutrition.

The funny thing is, because of his dwarf stature.

No matter where you go, you're not welcome.

Looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic on the roadside, it is surprising that horse-drawn carriages are still the main means of transportation.

He figured that this person was probably from the same era as Rapunzel.

In Western countries in the early nineteenth century.

The problem of popularizing medical knowledge is limited by the times.

A dwarf like Liu Xian can't even be treated normally.

I was lucky enough not to be caught and burned as a cursed demon.

No wonder those guys in suits and ties in the building just now were so disgusted and disliked me.

In their eyes, dwarfs and monsters are basically the same thing.

Just as Wu Wang expected.

In this era, Liu wanted to find a normal job to make a living.

It's just as difficult as climbing the sky.

If this continues, not only will his own living conditions be affected, but his sick mother at home probably won't live long.

"Ugh……"

Sighed heavily.

Wu Wang lost consciousness again.

In this [Mirror of the Crying Clown].

He began to experience the life of one circus freak after another -

The cuckoo has a fierce appearance with a face full of flesh, but its singing is as moving as that of a lark.

In that era when women's status was already low, he looked so strange and even had a beard.

She didn't dare go out and show herself to others.

Hiding in a dark dye factory, doing menial manual labor.

Even when eating out, one has to wear a mask and take the food home in a lunch box;
Lin Lingling's skin was so pale that it looked like it was painted and could reflect light.

She was even considered an evil creation of a witch by the residents of the town.

From birth, he was branded with the title "White Monster that Brings Disaster".

Until after a drought.

There was no harvest in the towns and villages.

They believed that this natural disaster was a curse brought by Lin Lingling.

Intended to burn her to death as a sacrifice to the gods.

The girl, who was less than 20 years old, was forced into the mountains and hidden there.

Becoming a "white savage" and isolated from the world;
Alan is a giant who is several meters tall and looks extremely powerful.

When Wu Wang experienced his life, he was bound and restrained by countless belts.

Confined to a space where you have to bend down to barely stand.

Every day doctors wearing strange masks came in and dragged him away.

No anesthetic at all.

Various experiments were performed on Allen.

It is said that he tried to use his flesh and blood to create an army of giants.

Come and expand the territory for the lord here.

The era he lived in was obviously earlier and more absurd than that of others.

Because the lord intends to use alchemy to create an army.

For this reason, Allen was trapped for several years and his body was torn into pieces.

On the verge of death.

He was rescued by a circus clown.

Yes! Wu died through constant experience.

Finally discovered the existence of the clown!
Finally, it was discovered that almost every performer in the circus had different appearances and features.

At the end of their tragic lives.

They were greeted by a smiling clown.

An invitation was sent to them to join the circus.

"Let me take you to a world where you won't face prejudice."

"There, your anomalies will only draw gasps from the audience, rather than sarcastic insults;"

"There, all your companions are monsters in the eyes of the world, and you huddle together for warmth and unity;"

"There, you will win everyone's applause and bring heartfelt smiles to the audience!"

“Sunshine Circus – Bringing sunshine and hope to this sad world!”

Look at the contents of the invitation.

Wu Wang fell into deep thought.

He knew all the secrets of all the weird performers in the circus.

The more this happens, the more curious I become about the Joker's secret.

It is precisely because all the performers in this circus have strange appearances that they attract attention.

That clown is a seemingly normal existence.

He became the most abnormal person.

Whether it is Li Lei in the diary or Jasmine herself.

They shouldn't be any different from ordinary people in terms of appearance, right?
At least Wu Wang had never seen such a person in Apartment 404.

After all, there are very few people like this.

If that’s the case, why should normal people be invited into this circus?
Although the invitations to other actors were all issued by the Joker.

But what about an invitation from the Joker himself?
Most likely, it was distributed by the group leader himself!

He invited a "worldly person" in among the freaks in the eyes of the world.

There must be some reason.

"A circus full of freaks, touring the world."

"If the span of time it existed is really that great."

"Then it will be boycotted by the world for many years, right?"

At this moment, Wu Wang felt that his brain was working at a rapid speed.

Integrate all the information you just obtained.

Piece together a truth that can be seen at this stage.

“Anyone who is different from the majority will be considered a freak.”

"And the freaks will one day be killed by the prejudice of the world."

"So, in order to attract these people in the world, these so-called 'majority' who agree with the circus' words."

"It takes a guy who can do a perfect imitation and who won't be ostracized by the world to lead the audience into the circus."

"The Joker plays such a role!"

"Because he is a normal person!"

The confusion in Wu Wang's eyes gradually faded away.

The rest is all a permutation of the truth.

He suddenly raised his head.

Standing in a wilderness so vast that the boundaries are completely invisible.

He whispered to the person in front of him, "Your secret is probably related to protecting the circus."

"You are the circus's armor and its sharp knives."

"The garish clown costumes are perfect camouflage. You are the disguises that hide the freaks of the circus."

"Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Wuwuwu——

Wuwuwu——

In an instant, the originally deserted wilderness began to echo with the sound of crying.

There are men and women, old and young.

A colorful and comical figure appeared not far away.

Her face was still covered in the makeup that looked like she was crying, but there was a strange smile on the corner of her mouth.

Wu Wang will never forget her appearance.

After all, there is an identical face in the refrigerator in room 307.

She is the original resident of Apartment 404 - Jasmine!
