"Welcome! My friend."
As Zhang Chen stepped into the villa's hall, a somewhat comical yet inwardly crazed voice came from the second-floor corridor above him. Immediately afterward, a familiar purple figure slid down the slide connecting the two floors.
A face smeared with white paint, cracked lips outlined in black lipstick, and a signature purple suit.
"Clown... why are you here?"
Zhang Chen had not expected to encounter this guy here. After the Clown seized Zhan Yun's Heavenly Eye ability in Dujiang City, Zhang Chen had assumed he would go to the Eye Realm, or directly to the Time Realm associated with the body.
"Oh... isn't the Sin Source Realm the best destination for a Zero Realm wanderer? Is there any reason I can't be here? Four years have passed since the incident in Japan, and we haven't met since. Come, sit down. Let's have a proper chat. I didn't expect you to have such influence, Zhang Chen. You even have Lord Prison Warden accompanying you on your journey.
"Lord Prison Warden, it is truly an honor to have you visit my humble home. Would you like me to clean up this young lady for you?"
The Clown licked his cracked lips. His figure had already appeared behind the girl, and the cold blade of a dagger rested against her tender neck, its tip having already cut through her skin.
"No need. I'll erase this memory later."
"You're still so compassionate, Zhang Chen. Come on, I've specially prepared a lavish feast for your arrival."
Only when the Clown removed the dagger from the girl's neck did she realize what kind of incident she had been dragged into. If not for the important figure from the Ghost Realm before her speaking up, she would likely have been erased from the world
