The Modern Age of the Mysterious

Chapter 423: 2 difficult to advance and retreat

I am the clown? !

I am the so-called clown! ?

Sean's hair stood on end!

Olivia turned her head and saw Sean's appearance in the mirror, she couldn't help but take a guarded posture in surprise.

Although a strange clown is reflected in the mirror, the crimson bond still connects the readers around him.

No matter what the mirror looks like, Olivia knows that Sean is standing beside him: "What's going on?"

Sean forced himself to remain calm, he shook his head a little heavily, his thoughts flew around.

Suddenly I understood a lot of things before.

"Moonlight and the others met someone exactly like them in the labyrinth.

"However, they didn't mention the details of encountering the clown."

The palm holding the Springfield carbine was dripping with sticky sweat:

"I was the only one who met the clown.

"This game has already been planned before it starts.

"In the labyrinth garden, the clown who met me on a narrow path didn't pass by me..."

Sean closed his eyes in pain:

"It came into my body.

"In this game, I am the clown."

Even if she was as straightforward as Olivia Wind Chime, she realized something at this moment:

"Find the clown, kill him, and exchange for freedom..."

Her red eyes revealed concern - she naturally wouldn't hurt her readers, but...

How does this game end?

Standing in front of the mirror and thinking for a long time, Sean was finally liberated from the static state.

He turned his head and looked serious in the firelight: "Olivia, don't let them know."

"They" naturally refers to Max's group.

They were indeed reliable allies before, but if you let them know that they are "clowns"...

I am afraid that the other party will never trust him again.

After the trust is cut off, the next step is cannibalism.

Even if Sean didn't remind him, Olivia could still think of this.

The Seiko girl bit her lower lip lightly, a rare nervous expression appeared on her indifferent face, she nodded lightly, not knowing what to do.

Seeing the expression on Olivia Wind Chime's face, Sean closed his eyes and nodded vigorously.

The meaning is obvious: don't worry.

Then, he stepped back a few steps and walked out of the cave.

Outside the entrance of the cave, they met Max and Holly who had already searched.

Although his face is calm, Sean still has the feeling that his hair is standing up - can't let them find out that I am a clown!

"Have you found anything?" Sean was satisfied with his stable voice.

Max shook his head and looked at the darkness behind Sean: "How about your side?"

At this moment, his hoarse voice made Sean's back a little.

"A mirror the same as the entrance.

"I think if we can find the clown, maybe this is the way out."

Since it is only a temporary alliance, they will definitely conduct a second inspection - Sean has no way to hide the existence of the mirror behind him.

Hearing that the mirror was found, Max and Holly both walked towards the depths. Sean stood there as a matter of course.

At this moment, what he thought of was at the entrance, the deceased with their hearts gouged out, and the poem recited by the strange puppet when he entered the garden:

"Midnight.

"You were frightened by the strange face outside the window.

"When I was about to **** the door and run away...

"You just remembered that there was a mirror, not a window—"

"Fear has always been in your heart,

"Could it be that, in order to eradicate fear,

"Can you only gouge out your own heart?"

Sean cursed fiercely in his heart, "Damn it!

"Is this the reward for the first place promotion?!"

The poem is clearly alluding to the way the game is done—

As the clown himself, gouge out his own heart.

"So..." Having trouble controlling his messy thoughts, he saw the people behind him who had lost their hearts again. "So those people at the door were all victims of having their hearts gouged out?"

Does this mean that this game is already destined to have a victim?

Only if the victim plucked out his own heart according to the little poem that prompted him, in exchange for the freedom of others?

Max and Holly were still examining the mirror.

Sean's thinking continued: "Do you want to replace your heart with spiritual substances like the one on Undercurrent Street?!"

He rejected the idea almost immediately: "That time the heart came back quickly, and this time...

"I'm afraid I'll have to sacrifice my heart this time.

"The heart formed by the spiritual substance won't last long!"

doesn't work.

what to do?

what to do? !

When Max and Holly reappeared in front of him, Sean had already adjusted his expression - as if nothing had happened, he was calm.

Behind Max, the shadow was talking to him.

Sean didn't like this feeling very much, he just turned around and pretended to be on guard.

"Shaw..." Max said, "We have a proposal."

Sean turned around to show that he was listening.

"The mirror at the entrance, when our whole team reflected together, showed a hint about the game...

"I thought, maybe we should have everyone stand in front of the mirror to get a hint on what to do next?"

Sean knew that based on the experience at the entrance, others would definitely think of the option of looking in the mirror together.

However, he did not expect it to be so fast. He thought there would be more time to think...

So, when Max asked to look in the mirror so quickly, his heart seemed to explode with thunder.

Whether he chooses to look in the mirror or not, his secrets will be exposed!

But there was only a proper expression of approval on his face: "It's worth trying."

That's all he could answer.

Because there is no loophole in this logic, if he forcibly finds a reason, it will only cause suspicion to erupt in advance.

Behind Max, Holly seemed to notice something, and leaned over to the remaining soldier's ear and said a few words.

The remnant twitched the tip of his nose. Before he said it, Sean, who was highly nervous, finally realized—

The air became a little strange.

Smell it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is very similar to the smell in the acid room.

And the throat, just like before, started to hurt hotly.

"Those acid..." Max said, "After the tide goes out, it seems to start to permeate the whole haunted house..."

The amount of acid is so large that if all of it is diffused, the concentration of acid mist in the air will be extremely high.

It is entirely possible that people's lungs, trachea, and mucous membranes of the eyes will be burned until death.

"It seems that this haunted house is urging us." Max shrugged.

In order to proceed to the next step, the captains on both sides summoned the players who were stranded behind.

The group of seven reunited, but Sean was not optimistic at all.

"Xiao and I found the same mirror as the entrance..." Max, who seemed to be waiting for Sean to speak, found that the ally he admired didn't seem to want to speak, so he continued to say, "Let's decide as before entering the haunted house. Same, go look in the mirror together and see if you can get any further hints."

"Hurry up then..." The Black Death Doctor had already walked towards the hole indicated by Max, "The acid is filling the air, and within ten minutes, our lungs will be burned..."

The group walked towards the cave.

Only Sean stood still.
