After leaving the Vision Realm, Lynn returned to his room and sank into thought.
A clown?
He couldn't help drawing some unsettling connections, because the curse inside him, which he still hadn't removed, was called the Weeping Clown.
Could there be a connection between the two?
Just as the Matriarch said, someone had interfered. Someone had deliberately intercepted Xiao Xiao's family to keep them from reaching Curse City in time. But what was their goal?
The greatest beneficiaries were undoubtedly the Mechanical Church and the Flesh God Cult.
If Big Brother's family had arrived, neither faction would have gained anything at all.
But Lynn quickly ruled out that possibility.
First, they shouldn't have known that he had called Big Brother's family for help. Even if they had guessed, it would only have been during his confrontation with the God of Ten Thousand Machines. There simply wouldn't have been enough time.
More importantly, if they had the power to intercept Big Brother's family, why bother going to such lengths?
And with those two factions ruled out...
He himself was probably the only possibility left.
Was someone lurking in the shadows targeting me, secretly steering the course of events?
Lynn raised an eyebrow.
By his calculations, even if Big Brother and the others couldn't manifest over long distances, they should still have reached Curse City around the time he confronted the God of Ten Thousand Machines.
It was precisely this unexpected development that had cost him his greatest, most invincible trump card.
Who could it be?

In an instant, Lynn's pupils widened.
That Pighead Butcher?!
Lynn frowned, recalling the cold, powerful monster he had encountered at Happy Home. Judging from the conversation between his master and that monster, the Pighead Butcher had apparently played a crucial role
