Wu Heng's actions have been closely watched by others.
When he walked outside the tent,
Everyone naturally realized that the break was over, and as if receiving a signal, they all followed and went outside.
The Swine Two that he had just released attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone stared at the creature, Swine Two, which resembled both a human and a ghost, especially since it could move freely. This led them to speculate about Wu Heng's training methods.
"Could this be another evil spirit?"
"Is the training method supposed to make us fight these evil spirits?!"
Wu Heng didn't explain much to the puzzled looks on everyone's faces. After scanning the seventeen people, a thought struck him.
Swine Two's strange wall-breaking ability has been activated.
The illusion of hitting a wall is designed to evoke fear and create a dreamlike atmosphere.
"Let's start by facing the Pennywise!" Wu Heng thought to himself.
If it were before,
He didn't dare use his ability to break through walls, otherwise it might attract the Pennywise's attention.
While helping Ben Hans with his fear training, the Pennywise directly entered his illusion and used his fear illusion to overwrite the Swine Two's abilities, turning it into the Pennywise's domain.
That incident remains fresh in Wu Heng's memory.
This is also why he didn't continue with fear training for the main characters' team, but instead held a competition and selected other people instead.
Because if something goes wrong,
That might backfire and cause the main characters to be wiped out.
only,
Under the anxious pressure of Maturin, Wu Heng did not want to be deceived by His will.
Just like Ben Hans before him, he also went to Derry in a daze and then faced the situation of Pennywise Pennywise.
Therefore, we have to find another way.
This led him to choose a method lacking humanity to deceive the Maturin.
The method he used was to directly control a large number of evil spirits, which, while interfering with the Pennywise, It Comes a devastating massacre in the town of Derry, and even ultimately used the Monster Fish Virus.
All of this was to force the Pennywise into a deep sleep.
As long as the Pennywise remains asleep, the Maturin will naturally continue to wait for its opportunity, perhaps even another 27 years, which is just a blink of an eye for it.
In a sense, Wu Heng had played a trick on Maturin, but Maturin, lacking her own consciousness, was completely unaware of this situation.
He stopped thinking about these things.
He turned to observe the reactions of everyone present.
The 17 candidates, who were originally observing and waiting, were still curious.
But when the illusion was successfully created, their expressions changed instantly; all their eyes lost their luster and became dull.
"Everyone else, step back and clear the area."
Wu Heng shouted to the staff around him.
Those who heard the commotion quickly moved aside, clearing a large area of about ten meters in diameter around the location of the 17 people.
A moment later, the confused contestants began to make their moves.
Those with faith began to recite prayers, while the unbelievers roared in anger:
"I seek the Lord in days of trouble, I lift up my hands in prayer at night, yet my heart refuses to be comforted."
"Namo Samanta, Buddhanam, Atrati, Hathasha, Sanam, Tadyatha, Om, Khakha, Khahi, Khahi, Hum Hum, Jvala."
"Your mouth is so ugly, you should go back to hell, that's where your aesthetic sense is."
"In the name of God, sinners are kept in darkness; who separates light from darkness? And who distinguishes the human soul and strengthens the righteous, in the name of God's justice?"
" Pennywise, come on, show me how to throw a ball!"
"Hum Mama Hum Ne Svaha!"
"Roar~!"
The chanting of religious scriptures, sarcastic remarks, and meaningless roars filled the air.
The staff at the venue viewed the 17 people's decision to remain in place as...
They were all making wary gestures and uttering different words as they looked at the air in front of them.
It sounds like a mental illness.
This time, Wu Heng only presented them with a slightly larger version of the Pennywise.
The Pennywise's face, smeared with blood-stained paint, his gaping, blood-red mouth, and his sunken, lifeless eyes—one look at him and you'd understand immediately.
It is not human!
In the illusion that only 17 candidates can see,
They fought the Pennywise.
The first to charge was the farmer Norm, who roared like a bull as he pounced on the attack.
To outsiders, it appeared as if he had fallen onto the open ground in front of him, his skin scraped and bleeding from the sand and gravel, and he was battling against the air.
The others also made corresponding movements.
Some even retreated and maneuvered, but this was just a tactic; the opponent wasn't afraid, they simply chose to avoid unnecessary confrontation.
Escape and retreat are not the same concept.
Wu Heng was very satisfied with these people's performance in the first wave of the Pennywise's hallucination, but he did not let them experience the sensation of death; he was intentionally controlling it.
Just as his philosophy suggests, those who have experienced death are more likely to fear it.
The fearlessness of a newborn calf stems from ignorance of death.
At the very least, Wu Heng, who returned from hell, is terrified of death, and it is precisely because of this fear that he strives to become stronger.
The original plan was that after the first round, Wu Heng would give them some time to rest before continuing.
However, seeing that all seventeen people present performed quite well...
Wu Heng decided to move directly to the second stage, which was: the betrayal of faith and reverence.
Among the contestants, those who are Jesus,
They watched as the Pennywise slowly transformed into Christ, his face smeared with thick paint, his hands nailed to an inflatable cross with colorful candy canes as nails.
"You are betraying the Lord, I will reject you, and you will suffer the torment of sin forever!"
The Pennywise Christ rebuked the believers who were running for office.
Those who believe in Buddhism saw a Pennywise Buddha.
Behind Him hung an orange-red halo, like the sun of death. His face was still covered with thick paint, and eight pale arms grew from his sides, each holding the heads of various Mother Buddha and goddesses.
"Come, my disciple, now is your time to break free from the cycle of reincarnation."
The Pennywise Buddha, having discarded the blood-soaked Buddha's head from its lower right arm as if throwing away trash, tossed it around, sending it rolling to the base of the dragon pillar. Then, it stretched out its pale arm.
On the free, bloodstained palm, fingers with black, pointed nails twitched gently.
It seems to be asking the contestants to offer up their heads, only in this way can they escape the cycle of reincarnation.
Rall, who considered himself the incarnation of the highest angel, saw Pennywise version of Metatron descending upon him as punishment. He then saw the truth about himself: he was not an angel at all.
On the contrary, he still possesses the disgusting bloodline of giants, making him the true henchman of evil.
As for the unbelievers, they each saw the person they most admired and missed deep in their hearts, a person with a face painted with oil paint and a large orange button on their chest.
They are blaming the candidates, resenting the candidates, and trying to correct the candidates!
