Clown: Look, Anxious Again

This is a classic case of love at first sight, turning a corner and bumping into someone.

Both parties were stunned for a few seconds.

Tara's pupils dilated, her legs gave out, and she turned to run. The Clown, Art, with a smile, began to chase.

Art was very satisfied with Tara's reaction. He wasn't in a hurry to catch up, instead feeling the excitement of a cat playing with a mouse.

The building was very quiet.

Tara listened to the sounds and movements from behind, which occasionally got closer, and her fear grew infinitely.

In such a tense moment, her foot caught on something, and she fell heavily to the ground.

In the brightly lit corridor, she struggled to get up.

A shadow enveloped her entire body.

Tara's body trembled as she looked up in terror, her breath catching in her throat... Thank goodness it wasn't that damned Clown.

She saw a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Help! There's a murderous Clown inside, call the police quickly! He's right behind me!"

Li Dan looked at the terrified Tara and slowly crouched down.

"Oh? Where is it now?"

Tara was stunned. She seemed to recognize Li Dan as the man from the Chinese restaurant and the street outside who had told her to go home early.

A terrifying thought suddenly struck her.

"You... you're not working with that Clown, are you?"

The more Tara thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and her gaze towards Li Dan became fearful.

Li Dan was speechless.

What kind of twisted logic is this?

"If I were working with the Clown, you'd already be a dead woman, ma'am. Besides, do I really look like a murderer?"

Tara glanced at him; he was quite handsome. She breathed a sigh of relief, her taut nerves relaxing slightly.

"No, sorry, handsome. I was just too scared. It's safer if we call the police. Did you see my friend outside?"

Li Dan pulled out a handgun.

"There's no one outside. Maybe they've already been kidnapped by the Clown. Just take me to find it."

Tara felt a bit more at ease seeing the handgun. In her mind, no matter how much of a murderer someone was, a shot like that should be enough.

Plus, Dawn was missing, so after a moment's hesitation, she agreed to his request and led the man to find the Clown.

They exchanged names along the way.

Li Dan learned that Tara and Dawn were college students who had come to attend a party because Halloween was approaching.

Who knew they would encounter such a freak as the Clown.

With this experience, Tara probably wouldn't want to come back here for the rest of her life.

Along the corridor.

Tara hid behind Li Dan and arrived at the place where she had encountered the Clown earlier. She pointed at the doorway and said, "I met the Clown here just now."

Upon hearing this, Li Dan walked over directly. It wasn't that he was brave or skilled, but he could enter the second form of the Evil Spirit Wendigo at any time.

He couldn't handle the Midnight Person, but surely he could at least hold his own against a weakling like the Soul Severing Clown.

"Be careful," Tara couldn't help but remind him, afraid Li Dan would be killed by the Clown as soon as he walked over.

Li Dan ignored her and pushed the door open. The Clown wasn't inside, but the cleaner's body was lying there.

Tara cautiously approached and also discovered the body. She recognized it as the cleaner from outside. His intestines were spilled all over the floor, and she almost threw up.

She said sadly, "Do you think Dawn has already been killed by the Clown?"

"It's possible, but since the body isn't here, she's probably not dead yet."

Li Dan remembered that this Clown wasn't just a simple monster; it liked to kill, but it liked to torture people even more.

Perhaps because Li Dan was beside her with a handgun, Tara said firmly, "I have to go save Dawn."

"Let's search the vicinity. Maybe we can find your friend."

Li Dan felt a pang of nostalgia for the time when he had many subordinates in the cave.

Back then, he wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble; with a single command, his subordinates would have conducted a carpet search.

Tara nodded, uncharacteristically not suggesting they split up. She was truly terrified.

The two began searching inside the building.

Honestly, this place was quite large and desolate, making it a good spot for murder and robbery.

Li Dan searched leisurely, as if he were strolling through a shopping mall at home.

Tara looked left and right, her nerves constantly on edge. She always felt the Clown would suddenly pop out from some corner.

The two took the elevator to the top floor.

Amusingly, as soon as they arrived, Li Dan saw the Clown Art on the other side of the opposite building, secretly up to no good.

Dawn was tied upside down to a cross, her mouth sealed with tape, her life unknown.

The Clown Art's senses were sharp. He looked up and stared directly at Li Dan and Tara on the higher floor.

Li Dan waved at the Clown Art.

"Hello!"

The Clown Art grinned widely, revealing his smile, and raised his left hand to wave back at Li Dan's greeting.

Then, he rushed out of his floor at extreme speed, sprinting towards where Li Dan and Tara were.

His speed was even faster than a normal Wendigo crawling on all fours.

If Tara had seen such a ghastly thing running at this speed alone, she would have been terrified to death, definitely hiding somewhere and playing a thrilling game of hide-and-seek.

Even with two people now, she admitted she was still a little flustered.

"Li Dan, what should we do? Should we find a place to hide first?"

She didn't really want to face the Clown head-on.

"This spot is excellent, with a wide field of vision. Hiding would be less safe, and it's already here."

Li Dan's gaze was fixed on the end of the corridor.

The Clown Art was standing there, "friendly waving" at the two of them.

What?

"How is this possible?" Tara couldn't believe it. This was the twelfth floor. Even if the Clown took the elevator, it wouldn't be this fast, right?

Even if she were foolish, she now realized something was wrong.

"You freak, we've already called the police! Let my friend go quickly."

Upon hearing this, the Clown Art's expression changed instantly. He stared silently at Tara, who had, at some unknown time, pulled out a hammer.

Tara's voice gradually grew smaller.

Because the Clown Art charged towards the two of them in a frenzied manner.

Li Dan was still trying to talk, wanting to know if this thing could speak: "Hey, hey, hey, calm down. Let's sit down and talk."

Art ignored him. Seeing that they were only a few steps away, Li Dan suddenly pulled out a gun from his waist.

The Clown Art, who had been menacing moments before, immediately raised both hands, looking at Li Dan with a hint of appeasement.

There were only about five steps between the three of them.

He's actually afraid of guns?

Li Dan asked, "Can we talk properly now?"

The Clown Art nodded, his smile still present, which he thought was "comical."

Tara breathed a sigh of relief. The Clown was probably just a murderer. If he were truly a monster, how could he be afraid of a gun?

Li Dan looked back at Tara and said.

"You go save your friend first. I'll keep an eye on him here."

"Thank you, when I get back I'll treat you to... Ah!"

Before Tara could finish speaking, she screamed, staring behind Li Dan. She could already imagine the gruesome scene of brains splattering.

But Li Dan turned around with incredible speed, grabbed the Clown Art's hand, and gently took the hammer.

The smile on the Clown Art's face froze. It wasn't that he didn't resist; it was that Li Dan's strength was astonishingly great, and he forcefully snatched the hammer away.

Art's smile became sincere, as if saying, "See? You're too impatient. I was just kidding with you."

Li Dan also smiled as he took the hammer, then cocked his pistol and fired a shot at the Clown Art's pocket.

"Bang!"

"*"

The Clown Art clutched his crotch with both hands and fell to the ground with a yelp, letting out a strange cry.

Didn't even curse when I hit his crotch. Li Dan was sure the Clown Art truly couldn't speak anymore.

He said without looking back.

"Don't just stand there, go save your friend quickly. I need to have a good chat with Mr. Clown alone."

Tara reacted, saying "Oh, oh" twice. She looked at the fallen Clown and quickly left. When she reached the stairwell, she heard two more gunshots.

She glanced back stealthily and only saw Li Dan's back blocking the howling Clown.

Judging by the sounds, the two seemed to be having a very pleasant chat?
