Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 181

Chapter 181: The Murder Clown

Even Liao Xing couldn’t possibly think of that impossible answer.

“The two of them won’t understand if I put it in technical terms, while you definitely cannot know about it, so I won’t explain it” Gu Qing Shan answered.

Then he looked at the three of them and said: “The battle against the Game of Eternal will now begin”

“Ye Fei Li, it’s your turn to shine”

“Why do I feel like some sort of superhero?” Ye Fei Li looked down at Mech armor and made a very rare joke.

Zhang Ying Hao also smiled: “This is your moment to accept a completely new challenge”

Ye Fei Li listened, then very seriously spoke: “I can make a specific request regarding the Mech’s appearance?”

“Tell me” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“My helmet is too normal” Ye Fei Li pointed at the Mech’s helmet.

As the three of them looked over, the helmet really was just a generic Mech helmet.

“Sorry, since time was short, I only focused on the features and function and didn’t really pay attention to the appearance, what do you suggest?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“You want to make them frightened right?” Ye Fei Li asked.

“That’s right” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“Helmets and masks, if you’re doing it right can also make a lot of people feel fear without a clear reason” Ye Fei Li said.

“What kind of appearance do you want then? Skull? Death? Beasts? Or Devils?” Liao Xing butted in.

“No, I think it’ll be fine with a clown head, recently there’s been a popular smiling clown mascot, let’s use that” Ye Fei Li answered.

Liao Xing was a bit confused: “Didn’t you say we need to make them frightened? What’s a clown going to do?”

“Skulls and all those stuffs you get used to after a while”

Ye Fei Li continued: “However, if you’re forced to see something that looks human but isn’t exactly human, you’ll start to feel a sense of true fear from the bottom of your heart”

“Looks like you’re in the know as well” Zhang Ying Hao gave him a thumbs up.

“No way, I don’t get that feeling” Liao Xing didn’t really understand.

Ye Fei Li very nonchalantly: “You can try it. At 2 in the morning, light a single candle and walk around an amusement park alone, you’ll understand”

Zhang Ying Hao added: “That’s right, if you’re looking at those mascots by yourself, you’ll always feel a strange sense of unease”

Ye Fei Li concluded: “That’s why people always put clowns at rowdy places with a lot of people, but never in silent places where there’s rarely any people”

Liao Xing tried to imagine such a scene.

In a silent alleyway, you’re alone without anyone, then suddenly met a clown mascot with a strange smile on its face.

It only stares at you silently without speaking a single word.

Liao Xing suddenly felt chills all over.

“Let us try that out” Gu Qing Shan turned on the screen and said.

A few minutes later.

A new helmet had been made.

The steel helmet’s eye sockets were blank, its face a bit sluggish, the nose was so long and slender it almost looked like a bird’s beak, and finally a stiff red smile.

It almost seemed like it was showing a flattering smile, yet at the same time, it wasn’t really doing that, only showing a cold expression.

At first, when Liao Xing looked at it, he felt fine, but the longer he looked, a strange sense of unease rose within himself.

“The fuck, luckily, I’ve never really paid any notice to these things” he muttered.

“Nice, I like this, I’m going to call it the Murder Clown” Ye Fei Li stared at the clown helmet, licked his lips and said.

“Then go, your turn” Gu Qing Shan turned off the screen and said to Ye Fei Li.

“Kill him?” Ye Fei Li asked for the final confirmation.

“Hm, directly kill him, give humanity a little threat as well” Gu Qing Shan nodded and said.

Not that long after.

The Holy Empire.

The Fuxi Empire.

The Freedom Confederate.

Government offices were in a heated discussion about the strange thing that happened yesterday.

Everyone did their best to argue for their own case, to hide the terror in their hearts.

The sea creatures appearing and invading land could be blamed on genetic mutation.

The Man Eater Fiends and Man Killer Fiends could be attributed to a mutation virus.

But what happened last night was completely above any explanation humanity had to offer. Even if they wanted to hide the truth from the populace’s eyes, they had nothing they could use to explain what happened.

So many people’s beliefs collapsed overnight, and even more of them asked themselves what they should do when the apocalypse was already around the corner.

Eternal life, this is eternal life you know, if and when the next round comes, will I join it or not?

Many were silently asking themselves this question.

And the answer seemed very clear to quite a few of them.

Right at this moment.

On the entire planet, in every country, every device that can receive satellite signals all automatically lit up.

The screens then projected showed an unfamiliar figure, appearing in front of everyone in the world for the very first time.

It was wearing a jet black armor, on its back was a pair of long wings of blackened light.

It had a long pointy nose, accompanied by a stiff smile often seen on mascots.

The fact that everyone’s personal Holo-Brains all automatically lit up and showed the same images was something extremely hard to imagine in this day and age.

Not to mention it was showing such a strange person.

If it weren’t for the wings behind it being black, people could even mistake it for being an angel from the legends.

But the strange, stiff smile it had and the person it was gripping in its hand were both so eerie and out of this world that it was hard to comment at all.

That’s right, it was gripping someone who was struggling to get free.

That person was the same “champion” who left the Game of Eternal not long ago, the person who gained eternal life, Ou Yang Fei Yu.

All the countries and large organizations had yet to even start looking for him.

But he was already caught by a mysterious monster.

Right now, everyone was in a state of shock, but due to having the precedent that was the Game of Eternal, they were still able to accept that they were seeing as truth.

The entire world held their breath, waiting for what would happen next.

A stifled voice came from behind the clown mask.

[Hello everyone. I am your loyal servant. The harvester of your lives. And the source of your fears]

[You may call me, the Murder Clown]

[The trial will now begin]

[Ou Yang Fei Yu, serial killer, fugitive, having murdered thousands of people in the Game of Eternal, his crimes are unpardonable. His sentence is death. Effective immediately]

As soon as the Murder Clown finished speaking, a blood-red glow emits from its hand and enveloped Ou Yang Fei Yu.

Ou Yang Fei Yu tried his best to struggle but to no avail.

The blood glow acted like a super corrosive material, eating away at his body in his struggle until he was left as nothing but a skeleton.

Although he was already dead, his skull’s mouth was still open wide, as if letting out a stifled scream.

The person wearing jet black armor stood still, its helmet still had the same stiff and cold smile.

This was an inexplicable strange scene of horror.

All those who witnessed this scene were left with an indelible deep memory in their hearts.

The Murder Clown picked up the boney skeleton, shook it as it to show it off, and once again spoke.

[Ladies, and gentlemen, please keep this in mind. Anyone that enters the Game of Eternal will have but a single fate, and that is ——]

The clown’s voice raised, using an entertained and excited tone to spit out a single word:

[DEATH!]

As the Murder Clown finished, it took the skeleton in hand and quickly disappeared into the clouds.

If wasn’t until its visage could no longer be seen that all the Holo-Brains in the world once again shut off at the same time.

At this moment, the entire planet was plunged into silence.
