The Black-and-White World

This clown is actually Shaco! I never expected to meet him in a place like this. 💝✌ 🐜💎

Since he's called the Devil Clown, what kind of tricks will he pull?

"Are you the owner of this place?"

"I'm just a circus ringmaster, and I'd like to invite a few of you to see a show. What do you say?"

Why are all the people here in black and white, but you're in color?

"They're all just passersby, but I'm the main character."

"Ha, interesting. I'll go check out the main character's performance then."

We followed Shaco to the circus, while Talon, claiming he wasn't interested, took his own group to explore elsewhere. I knew he was afraid of falling into the enemy's trap, so he stayed outside to keep watch.

The circus was enormous, seemingly capable of holding tens of thousands of people. The audience inside was also black and white, and even the noise didn't penetrate very well.

Shaco led us directly to the front row for a better view, and then he went on stage to join in, as if his earlier departure was merely to welcome us.

The circus consisted mainly of animal performances, which looked quite exciting, but inevitably contained some cruelty behind the scenes. We started to get bored after watching for a short while, at which point Shaco loudly announced:

"Dear audience, the next performance is going to be spectacular, because the animals participating are Renekton and rhinoceroses that you've never seen before!"

No sooner had Shaco finished speaking than Djis couldn't sit still. "Renekton and a rhinoceros, that must be Renekton and Oken!"

Nasus pulled him back, telling him not to act rashly, since the enemy had made such arrangements, they certainly weren't afraid of our uprising.

When the two giant beasts appeared, we stared intently at the stage, only to find out they were just an ordinary Renekton and a baby rhinoceros.

The Renekton was biting its own tail and spinning in place, while the rhinoceros was standing on a large ball and circling the field, which was very comical.

Soon applause and cheers erupted again from all around, but we were getting a little impatient. It wasn't until the performance ended again that Shaco knelt down in front of us:

"So, everyone, how was my performance?"

"Your animal taming skills are truly superb, capable of training Renekton and rhinos. I wonder..."

"Alright, Yasuo, we don't have time to waste with him." Djis couldn't hold back any longer, then demanded of Shaco, "Tell me, where are our friends!"

"Your friends? If they've come to this park too, they must be playing elsewhere. I haven't seen any other colorful characters."

"Heh, you colorful character? Well then, I'll show you what's what!"

Djis threw a punch, which Shaco nimbly dodged. Before he could say anything, the surrounding audience became unhappy and accused us of causing trouble.

Wukong had been holding back for a long time; the monkey show earlier had already infuriated him, and now he jumped onto the stage to attack Shaco.

His staff technique originated from Wuju Style, which was far beyond Shaco could easily dodge. After two blows, Sako was unable to dodge in time and was swept in the waist by Wukong, flying sideways.

Shaco's body slammed into the rhinoceros horn like a ball, and then deflated completely, leaving only a skin hanging on.

At this moment, another clown came out from backstage, dressed in a white and green checkered outfit, still resembling Shaco.

"I kindly invited you to watch the performance, why did you resort to violence? If you don't want to watch, then leave."

Shaco looked completely innocent, which only fueled the audience's anger. Jarvan let out a dragon's roar, which finally silenced them.

It seemed we couldn't stay here any longer, so we hurried away, though we could still hear people muttering curses under their breath.

"What's going on? Why does this place feel like it has nothing to do with the Shadow Isles?"

Let's go look around somewhere else.

Jarvan was puzzled; in fact, none of us had a clue, so we could only go look elsewhere.

Talon and his friends were waiting nearby. Seeing us come out, they quickly greeted us, "Come over here, Yasuo! We found Renekton and Oken!"

Upon hearing this, we rushed over and sure enough, we saw the two of them in the amusement park. They were sitting on a carousel with a group of children, looking very happy.

Djis pulled the two men down. "What are you doing? Weren't you supposed to be heading to meet up with the second team? What are you doing here?"

"Oh, you're all here! This place is so much fun! Come on, let's all play together!"

After finishing his sentence, Renekton shooed all the children off the bench and gestured for us to sit down with them, a situation that was both amusing and exasperating.

Nasus touched the two men's heads, finding nothing amiss, and then suddenly slapped Renekton across the face.

Renekton very surprised and instinctively wanted to retaliate, but in the end, he lowered his hand. "Why did you hit me, brother!"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see if you were acting normally. Your reaction is the same as usual, so it should be you. Why are you acting like this?"

"Of course it's me! I just thought this place was fun, so I invited you guys to come along!"

Varus then asked, "When did you arrive? Who sent you?"

"It's been about five or six days, I can't remember exactly. We came here with an old man..." Renekton recounted the events:

That day, after he and Oken left, they hadn't encountered the second team yet when he suddenly noticed an old man walking not far ahead.

It was definitely not normal for someone like this to appear on the Shadow Isles, so the two followed him. But no matter how fast they walked, they could never catch up with the old man, and soon they arrived at the amusement park.

Because they found it novel, the two of them stayed for a few more days until we arrived today.

It sounds fine at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it's full of flaws.

First of all, Renekton and Oken, those two Great Han, aren't people who like this kind of game. Besides, even if they were interested, they wouldn't stay behind without saying a word.

It's not like they're imposters, because I can genuinely feel their power, and Nasus also said that Renekton's reaction was his own.

Is there a kind of illusion that can make someone lose their fighting spirit? Nasus shook his head. He said that changing a person's temperament is not difficult, but he had never heard of eliminating fighting spirit while keeping everything else unchanged.

At that moment, Djis suddenly pulled open Renekton's shirt, and I noticed that the skin on his chest had turned gray!

"Take off your clothes! You're infected!"

"What are you talking about? How could we be infected when we were perfectly fine?"

Seeing that Renekton didn't move, I used my Wind Force to strip off his clothes, and then I saw a large patch of gray marks spreading across his entire chest and back, like a virus!

The same applies to Oken!

Upon closer inspection, the marks on the two people are the same gray color as those on the people at the amusement park. Could they also turn like this?

At that moment, Varus asked me, "Damn it! We really fell into a trap! Yasuo, have you noticed that this place is just like the curse of Mount Targon?"

"It really is similar; slowly devouring one's own consciousness and then becoming a puppet."
