"Where does the sound come from?" Joseph was surprised.

Penelope quickly moved behind him, pointed her finger at the box and said, "The combination lock is moving!"

Joseph was startled and looked over quickly.

really!

The combination lock with four groups of letters actually started to roll automatically.

"Obviously no one touched it!"

Joseph stood there in a daze, his face full of fear and confusion.

No one answered his confusion.

Almost in an instant, the combination lock stopped, and a line of four letters appeared on the box.

Joseph, trembling in his heart, looked over subconsciously.

J…A…C…K.

JACK!

Jack!

It’s exactly what Jack in the Box is called!

Click, click, click!

The sound of gears turning was heard again.

On the doll box, a rocking handle extends from the inside of the box on one side.

Watching this scene, Joseph said in a trembling voice: "Hey...Penelope, the handle you asked about before appeared."

As he expected, after unlocking the combination lock, the switch handle appeared.

Although he was terrified, Joseph couldn't help but admire the superb skills of his predecessors. He retreated in panic and explained to Penelope.

The latter was no longer behind him.

Taking advantage of this time, Penelope quickly ran to the front desk drawer and took out a pistol, which would be useful for fighting ghosts or people.

In front of him, before Joseph could take a few steps back, the handle on the doll box automatically began to spin rapidly.

"NO! NO! NO! NO!"

As the handle turned, he saw the sealed box quickly open. Thinking of the horrific rumors he had heard, Joseph wished he had more legs so he could run away.

But the box opened too quickly.

Faced with terror and danger, ordinary people are far from being as calm and collected as they imagine. The first reaction of more people is to watch the danger approaching with a dull look in their eyes and a blank mind.

Although Joseph reacted quickly, it was too late.

Bang!

The box is fully opened!

Under Joseph's horrified gaze, accompanied by the sound of a spring popping, an ugly clown doll jumped out, with an exaggerated smiling face directed at the former, as if mocking his cowardice.

One second...two seconds...three seconds...

Nothing happened.

Except for the ugly clown doll which kept its creepy smile and looked forward.

Seeing this, Joseph, who was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest, breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest repeatedly, saying, "It seems that I am too suspicious. This is a normal Jack in the Box, although it is a bit ancient and sophisticated."

"It turns out that rumors are not to be believed. We are just scaring ourselves."

He shook his head in self-mockery and walked towards the doll box as he spoke.

At the back, Penelope breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everything was indeed fine, and put down the gun with relief.

Joseph, who was as bold as he was scared before, came to the doll box, patted the clown doll unhappily and said, "You just scared me, you know that?"

As he spoke, he checked the inside of the box. When he found nothing else, he looked at the clown doll again and said with a curled lip, "You look really ugly like this. I think the value of this box will be greatly reduced. If it weren't for the fact that you are also an antique, I would definitely change your appearance."

After saying that, he reached out and pressed down the clown doll along with the spring.

However, where he couldn't see, the fixed clown doll's eyes suddenly moved, and it looked at Joseph above with a fierce and evil look.

Pfft!

The box slammed shut.

It was a false alarm, but at least Joseph saved Robb's appearance fee. After this comparison, he was in a good mood and turned around to say goodbye to Penelope.

At this moment, Penelope's expression suddenly changed:

"Joseph! Be careful..."

(The clown in the box comes from the movie "Jewel in the Box")

Chapter 143 Chapter Are you having a private party?

"Joseph! Be careful..."

Penelope's pupils suddenly shrank and she shouted.

As she watched, the doll box that Joseph had closed suddenly opened a gap automatically, and a monster hand consisting of three thick claws that looked nothing like a human stretched out and quickly grabbed Joseph, who had his back to it and was completely unaware of the situation.

Penelope hadn't even uttered the word "behind".

Before he could react, Joseph, with confusion on his face, was grabbed by the strange hand in the box, which pulled him hard and stuffed his 200-pound body into the box.

"Ah~~~ What's going on? Who is kidding me?"

Joseph, who had no idea what was happening, screamed and struggled.

But the distance between him and the box was still getting closer.

I could see his huge butt was about to be stuffed into the doll box that was completely disproportionate to it.

"Shet!"

Penelope cursed inwardly, after all, it wasn't as she had imagined at first.

She ran over quickly, grabbed Joseph and pulled him out, shouting:

"Hurry! If you don't want to become box food!"

"Oh my god! The rumors about the box are actually true!!"

At this point, with his butt touching the doll box, Joseph finally figured out what was going on with him. Although he had a sad face, he had a strong will to survive and with the help of Penelope, he put up a desperate fight.

Even so, the combined strength of the two is not as great as the box's strange hand.

It was clear that Joseph would soon become a box lunch.

Anxious Penelope suddenly said:

"Quick! Take off your coat!"

Hearing this, Joseph, who was panicking, didn't think about anything else and hurriedly pulled his arms out of his sleeves.

Penelope helped to unzip the last of the clothing.

Brush and pull!

In an instant, Joseph felt a loosening behind him.

The strange hand that was originally pressing on his coat didn't pay attention for a moment, and the force went in vain, grabbing the coat back.

By the time it reacts, it quickly moves forward.

Taking advantage of this brief opportunity, Penelope pulled Joseph up, and the two of them quickly moved away from the doll box.

"Thank you so much, Penelope." Joseph, who had escaped death, gasped and said with gratitude.

"It's not over yet!" Penelope said seriously.

really.

Jack in the Box was extremely angry when he found out that his prey had escaped.

Click!Click!

The switch handle was spinning wildly at this moment.

The lid is fully opened again.

But this time it was no longer a clown doll that appeared.

But it is a real clown named "Jack".

Under Joseph's horrified gaze, a clown nearly two meters tall, wearing a black clown costume, bald, with lipstick on his pale face and lips stretched out to the sides, looking extremely scary and hideous, crawled out of a petite doll box that was completely incompatible with his size.

It opened its sharp claws with only three fingers, and with an inexplicable roar, it looked at Joseph with greedy, evil and bloodthirsty eyes.

Although Joseph had encountered a ghost last time, it ended without him seeing anything.

This was the first time he had to deal with the supernatural in the true sense, and the other party revealed his terrifying true form, and he was so frightened that his legs went limp.

In comparison, Penelope, who had just seen what the devil looked like, didn't look that bad.

Keeping in mind Robb's advice not to fight the supernatural unless absolutely necessary, she rushed out of the office immediately.

With a loud bang, the door suddenly closed by itself.

No matter how hard Penelope pushed, it didn't move.

"Shet!"

Penelope slammed the door several times, but nothing worked, so she quickly took out her cell phone and tried to contact Robb.

Pa…pa…pa…

Seeing this scene, the clown did not just stand there, but strode towards Penelope with a ferocious face.

boom! boom! boom!

Without saying a word, Penelope pulled out her pistol and shot at the clown.

At such a close distance, there is naturally no possibility of missing the target.

Smelly black blood flowers instantly bloomed on the clown's body, causing it to roar continuously.

"Well done! Penelope!"

Listening to the clown's screams, Joseph suddenly felt that the other party was nothing and shouted in surprise.

Not long after, his expression changed again.

After Penelope emptied her magazine without hesitation, the clown, who looked extremely miserable, should have fallen down.

However, it still stood there without saying a word. After Penelope ran out of bullets, it continued to move forward angrily, quickly caught up with Penelope, and with a low roar, it smashed Penelope's pistol into pieces with one claw.

Just when Joseph was desperate and thought that Penelope was going to die in front of him.

To his surprise, the clown just knocked Penelope away without killing her.

Instead, its ferocious smiling face turned towards him, and with a blink, it walked towards him with murderous intent.

Judging from his expression, it was obvious that he was not going to leave anyone alive.

"How could this be?"

Joseph, feeling that everything was against him, retreated hastily.

The firm is just that big.

It wasn't long before he was backed into a corner.

The clown, nearly two meters tall, raised his sharp claws and approached little by little.

Under the stimulation of life and death, Joseph's brain worked extraordinarily fast.

It suddenly dawned on him why the Joker hadn't killed Penelope first.

The box had never been opened in his hands, but when he arrived at the office, it was obvious that Penelope accidentally touched the box and was chosen by Jack in the Box to be the person to open it.

According to past rumors about this box, once the clown is opened and the seal is unlocked, he will have to eat six people before returning to the box.
