In a Chinese restaurant.
The clown was not only strangely dressed but also had a strange appearance.
He didn't look like the red-nosed clowns who entertained audiences in the circus. This clown's attire was only in black and white, and he wore a mini top hat on his head.
Coupled with his protruding and unsightly facial features, he looked extremely ugly even with black and white clown makeup.
In summary: this was a true clown.
Also in the restaurant were a pair of sisters, Tara and Dawn. The clown placed his belongings on a seat and sat down, directly opposite Tara.
Tara couldn't help but stare a few more times.
When the clown noticed her gaze, he immediately looked back. He rested his elbows on the table, interlaced his fingers to form a small frame, rested his head on the back of his hands, his chin on his hands, his eyes curved, his lips upturned, and he gazed at her with a smile.
This eerie sight made Tara quickly avert her gaze. The clown's bizarre appearance and actions made her a little scared.
Fortunately, there were other people in the restaurant.
Li Dan, sitting at the front, looked back. This time, he didn't need the Ghost Card; he could recognize the other party by appearance alone.
It was the Soul Severing Clown, Art, who held a prominent position in the clown world.
Li Dan didn't feel scared by this creature's appearance; instead, he felt quite surprised.
After all, Soul Severing Clown was a splatter film with no plot whatsoever, just killing from start to finish. Clown Art's performance in it was so bad that he could be killed by an ordinary person.
However, being killed was one thing, and his immortality was another.
Moreover, many people didn't know that the Soul Severing Clown actually had a prequel.
In the prequel, Clown Art's spread was through videotapes, and every person he killed was made into a videotape.
As long as the next person played that tape, Clown Art could reappear from the television.
At first glance, it was somewhat similar to the famous Sadako from Japan.
He just didn't know how to contain monsters with immortality like this – kill them, or seal them?
Jennifer followed Li Dan's gaze and glanced at Clown Art. His ugly and comical appearance instantly bored her, and she looked away to order food from the owner.
She was currently only thinking about her post-meal exercise and how to carry it out.
Tara's gaze made Dawn look back. Seeing the clown's comical appearance, she instantly became interested.
She stumbled over to Clown Art and said, "Excuse me, could I take a picture with you?"
Before the clown could agree, Dawn, under the disbelieving eyes of Tara and Jennifer, plopped down onto the clown's lap and started taking pictures with her phone.
After taking the photos, she even picked up his mini top hat and flicked it, causing the hat to snap against the clown's face.
"Oh, sorry, let's take another one."
"Click, click."
Dawn pinched the clown's face and took several more beautiful photos. After finishing, she even said thank you before wobbling back.
Li Dan saw very clearly that Dawn wasn't wearing a bra; it wasn't that he wanted to see, but it was too obvious.
Her breasts sagged noticeably, not even half as much as Jennifer's. One could tell about Dawn's, while Jennifer's had been assessed by hand.
Back in her seat, Dawn was questioned by her best friend.
"What the hell is wrong with you, Dawn?"
Tara couldn't understand why anyone would want to provoke such a weirdo when they should be avoiding him.
Dawn scoffed.
"Oh yeah? Is he going to chop me into pieces or something?"
Tara didn't know what to say to her insolent tone.
Just as the two were having a small disagreement, Clown Art stood up and walked over to Tara, pulling out a ring. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to have a strong liking for her.
Tara, looking at Clown Art's huge black mouth, dared not refuse him directly. She could only extend her hand, enduring the disgust, and let Clown Art place the ring on her finger, specifically on her thumb.
This further confirmed her suspicion that the clown in front of her was definitely mentally unstable.
Clown Art was delighted to see the ring on her finger and happily walked into the restroom.
However, he was soon kicked out by the owner.
"Holy crap, you animal! You smeared shit everywhere! F*** you!"
The restaurant owner, holding a mop, beat the clown and chased him out, throwing out the black snakeskin bag he was wearing on his head as well.
It was the Soul Severing Clown's sick sense of humor, his habit of defecating and smearing it everywhere.
This incident made Li Dan lose his appetite. This Clown Art was truly a bizarre creature; after all, very few people or clowns enjoyed playing with feces.
If nothing else, just hearing about it made the smell seem to overflow.
Shortly after Li Dan and Jennifer left, Tara and Dawn also exited the restaurant.
However, Li Dan stopped again in the next block.
"What's wrong, baby, didn't you eat enough?" Jennifer was still worried about this matter, after all, it concerned the duration and her happiness.
Li Dan was speechless. "I'm fine. Why did you change your address again?"
Jennifer hugged Li Dan's arm, pressing close to his soft side. "Didn't I call you that when we arrived? Otherwise, should I keep calling you 'dear'?"
In Jennifer's opinion, as long as they confirmed their relationship, calling him 'baby' or 'dear' or even 'husband' was perfectly normal, wasn't it?
Li Dan tugged at his arm and found he couldn't pull away, so he could only say:
"Whatever you want. I stopped not because I wasn't full, but because I'm preparing to go back and take a look."
Jennifer was confused.
"Why do you need to go back and look?"
"Because of that Clown. It's similar to what you encountered in your room." Li Dan didn't intend to hide it from Jennifer; this was something that needed to be faced sooner or later.
As expected, Jennifer became scared as soon as she heard it might be a ghost. She already had psychological trauma.
Now, even though her home was still there, she didn't want to go back. She'd rather shamelessly move into Li Dan's house, no matter the cost.
Jennifer could even accept being his vessel.
"Exorcism is so dangerous, let's find someone else to do it. Can we go home today? Baby has already exorcised once, there's no need to push yourself so hard."
Jennifer didn't want Li Dan to take risks. Wouldn't it be better if they pretended nothing happened, went home, and slept in their warm bed?
Li Dan explained, "When we were at that restaurant, that Clown already had its eyes on us. Even if you go home, it will follow. Rather than that, it's better to deal with it early."
Jennifer had nothing to say. She didn't understand why Round Clam Town suddenly had so many terrifying existences.
Sometimes she really wanted to move.
Li Dan took out a set of keys.
"You can go to my place. Didn't you want to visit the Castle?"
Jennifer's beautiful eyes lit up, then she immediately said:
"I'm scared to go alone."
"Then call your good sisters to keep you company. You should have a few friends, right?"
"I think I have one..."
"That's right, call your little sister and show her off properly. Tell her that you are now the first candidate mistress of this Castle."
"Why candidate mistress, not mistress?"
Because the true mistress of the Castle was a beautiful Witch. Of course, Li Dan didn't tell Jennifer the real reason. She was already timid; if he scared her any further, she'd probably cling to him.
Other places weren't safe, but the Castle was absolutely safe.
Li Dan dared to be so sure because of his childhood memories.
After coaxing Jennifer, Li Dan made another call to the Castle's butler and asked him to pick her up.
Jennifer looked at Li Dan with adoration. The Castle actually had a butler? Could her boyfriend really be nobility?
After the butler drove Jennifer away.
Li Dan returned, preparing to test the mettle of the Soul Severing Clown.
