In the corridor.

Li Dan squatted in front of the Clown Art, taking out the Ghost Card.

"Detected containment subject: Soul Severing Clown."

"Status: Critically Injured · Uncontainable."

This line of information made Li Dan a bit annoyed, so he fired two more shots. Anyway, the Soul Severing Clown wasn't a good thing and liked to kill people indiscriminately.

"Why aren't you talking?"

Clown Art writhed on the ground. He wanted to speak too, but couldn't.

"Bang!"

A great hammer smashed onto Clown Art's toes.

"Speak!"

"Tell me, why are you always, always, always, not speaking?"

The banging sounds echoed endlessly in the building.

Li Dan even stomped on Clown Art's injured toes a few more times, causing the Clown so much pain that he almost spoke.

Although a certain evil god had said that stepping on people's toes was a childish game.

Li Dan knew that the Soul Severing Clown possessed immortality; it would revive even if killed, so he didn't choose to kill the Clown directly.

He was also a bit tired after hammering for so long.

Clown Art looked as if he were dead, blood pooling on the ground.

Others might have left, but Li Dan always had the habit of finishing off his opponents.

He had dealt so many finishing blows, he should have died long ago. The problem was that he didn't die, so even if he were truly dead, Li Dan wouldn't leave.

This was what they called camping the respawn point and pre-emptively guarding against revival.

The Ghost Card still displayed "Uncontainable."

How could this monster with immortality be contained?

"Maybe dismemberment will work?" Li Dan scratched his head and muttered to himself.

The already dead body of the Clown suddenly twitched. Upon opening its eyes, it found itself bound tightly to an iron rack with ropes.

Li Dan was taking out various tools from his black plastic bag.

There were knives, hammers, chainsaws, and all sorts of strange little gadgets. Judging by the appearance, he seemed to want to dismember it, and perhaps rummage through it to see if there was anything good.

Clearly, apart from weapons and some junk, there was nothing.

Although Clown Art couldn't speak, he could understand human language. He began to struggle frantically.

He had killed so many people over the years. Usually, after being killed by someone else, he would just leave. He had never seen such a perverted person who wouldn't even let a corpse go.

Who exactly was the Soul Severing Clown...

Li Dan glanced at the struggling Clown Art, thought for a moment, and took out a roll of tape: "You're still not dead? Don't worry, I'm just going to study your body structure. By the way, how can I seal you?"

"Oh, almost forgot, you can't speak."

The tape was stuck onto Clown Art's mouth.

Clown Art: "Mmmph mmmph mmmph."

The scene instantly became much quieter.

Li Dan began to study the various tools and conduct cutting experiments. The Soul Severing Clown was unkillable and didn't have much combat power, so Li Dan felt no heartache in studying it.

During the research.

Tara and Dawn came specifically to thank him and even invited Li Dan to their rented apartment to play games.

Hmph, what kind of person did they think he was?

Li Dan naturally declined. The main reason was that studying the Clown was more important. If he didn't figure this out now, what would he do when he encountered other immortal murderers like Jason or Mike in the future? He'd just have to stand by and watch.

Therefore, the research on the Clown was very necessary.

In the basement of the building.

To better study Clown Art, Li Dan stopped pretending and directly fused with the Evil Spirit Wendigo, activating his second form and entering a frenzied dissection mode.

Clown Art's eyes widened even further as he watched Li Dan complete his transformation.

Through research.

Li Dan discovered that Clown Art's immortality seemed to have a limit, and sometimes its recovery was very slow, while other times it was very fast.

Sawing its body in half to fuse them together also required a certain amount of time.

However, if he wanted to throw a leg to the side and then kill Art, it would take much longer, at least half a day.

It also experienced pain.

Conclusion: It was indeed immortal, but much weaker than Jason and Mike. It felt pain, and its recovery time was relatively slow.

It's a bit of a weakened version. As for cremation, dismemberment, and exorcism, Li Dan hasn't tried them yet; he's afraid of messing things up.

After all, it's rare to find such a weak Clown for him to research and experiment on. If he loses it, it won't be easy to find another.

The Clown, Art, woke up once again.

The look in Li Dan's eyes had turned to terror. Who knows how long he had been tortured.

He was either being tortured or on the verge of death.

Although the Clown, Art, possessed Immortality (Fragmented), he still felt pain.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in so much agony when Tara struck him in the original story.

A whole night.

Is he human?

No, Li Dan doesn't seem to be human sometimes.

"Huh? Why can I contain it again?"

Li Dan found it strange looking at the Ghost Card. Which step triggered the containment mechanism?

He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. It was more important to contain it first.

Li Dan took out the Ghost Card and contained the Clown, Art, within Club Five. He didn't notice Art's expression at the last moment before being sucked into the Ghost Card – it was an expression of relief.

Once the Clown was contained, all of Series Six was released.

This was an unexpected bonus.

Excluding Diamond Four and Club Five, there were now eighteen empty Ghost Cards.

It seems he needs to go and contain more monsters when he has time.

Even if they have no growth potential, they would be excellent cannon fodder.

Next, he should check the Soul Severing Clown's data.

"Contained Entity: Clown, Art."

"Comment: A vengeful soul from hell, possessing the characteristics of Soul Severing and Immortality."

The comment is quite good. At least it's not just cannon fodder like the ordinary Wendigo and Deformed Person.

Next, he should examine its inherent abilities.

"Contained Entity: Clown, Art."

"Extractable Abilities: Immortality (Fragmented), Instant Movement (Fragmented), Soul Severing (Fragmented), Curse Transmission."

Immortality (Fragmented): Slow recovery. Recovery speeds up in unnoticed corners. Fails upon encountering devastating blows, resulting in death.

Instant Movement: In unnoticed corners, your movement speed will be faster.

Soul Severing: A wandering soul in hell, with a chance to be resurrected through Soul Severing.

Curse Transmission: Can be transmitted through videotapes and videos, allowing a return to the current reality node.

So that's how it is.

The moment Li Dan saw most of the Soul Severing Clown's abilities, he understood.

Immortality was indeed fragmented. It still dies upon encountering devastating blows, and the slow recovery aligns with this.

However, even a fragmented Immortality is enviable.

Instant Movement is also good. He almost misread it as "instantaneous movement" at first.

Movement speed is faster in unnoticed places, which seems great for escaping. But then again, if there are actual Demons or Evil Spirits, this speed wouldn't be fast enough.

And then there's Soul Severing and Curse Transmission.

Soul Severing is likely the reason the Clown, Art, can be resurrected. As for Curse Transmission, it sounds a bit useless, but if used correctly, it could be a divine artifact.

For example, if Li Dan were trapped in a cave or a terrifying place.

And at that moment, a videotape or video was playing, he could use this curse to escape the dangerous situation.

It's equivalent to leaving a teleportation node.

As expected, contained entities with comments are never too bad.

The Soul Severing Clown still has its uses, but its combat power is nowhere comparable to the Evil Spirit Wendigo.

With trembling hands and an excited heart, Li Dan immediately proceeded with the extraction
