Killing the US fear starts from the fatal bend

Chapter 189 Unlucky Old Age and Theft of Faith

After chatting with Wagner, everyone was almost there. The two said goodbye to Lillian and started today's preparatory meeting.

Today's meeting was quick and only two things were decided.

One is to immediately arrange personnel to fan the flames, create a rumor of a "balloon freak", and transfer the fear of "clowns" to "balloons".

Of course, this balloon monster is Luke's vest. In terms of image creation, Luke's distorted shape is referenced to a certain extent, and elements of balloons and crows are added to form a new terrifying big devil.

The second is to arrange for extraordinary people with the ability to confine them to wait on the path where balloon clowns are prone to appear, and prepare to catch a few and hand them over to Wagner to cast the curse.

Today's affairs are arranged, and people quickly go to their respective tasks.

Before the rumors boiled over, Luke touched the branch representing the [Desecration] ability, trying to absorb the fear around Phoenix City, but it seemed that the requirement was not met, and the ability remained motionless.

It seems that we can only wait for the rumors to ferment completely and spread among the crowd.

The capture personnel squatting in Phoenix City also found nothing. After squatting for a whole day, they did not find any signs of the balloon clown.

Fortunately, people were all prepared for a long-term battle, and they never let up. After ten o'clock in the evening, finally, those balloon clowns began to appear here and there.

The capture team's operation went very smoothly, and the three balloon clowns were captured intact.

Next, it was time for Wagner to demonstrate his technology.

Three clowns are enough for him to curse in different ways.

With the first clown in place, he took out a rusty butcher knife from his material bag.

The first curse, "bloody strangulation".

He held the butcher's knife in his hand, approached the clown, and stopped at a distance of half a meter. His mental power outlined a complex and evil spell model in the air, and cut his finger with the butcher's knife.

Seeing this, Luke couldn't help worrying about him. Isn't he really afraid of tetanus if he does this?
But Wagner is clearly confident.

He dripped the blood from his fingertips on the magic circle that appeared out of thin air, and the blood instantly dyed the magic circle red.

All of a sudden, the feeling of cursing the wizard came.

Then, with a flick of his free left index finger, the magic circle was directly imprinted on the balloon clown's chest.

He muttered and chanted some words, and a red line so thin that it was almost invisible protruded from the magic circle on the clown's chest, and went straight into the void, extending to an unknown position.

During this process, Wagner has been continuously outputting mental power to maintain the operation of the red line.

The whole process lasted for more than 20 minutes. Seeing that Wagner turned from full of confidence to sweating profusely, the blood-red silk thread still didn't seem to find the target on the other end.

Seeing that the time was getting longer and longer and his mental energy was being consumed more and more, he finally made up his mind and quickly took out a scarecrow from the material bag.

The scarecrow was only the size of an ordinary person's palm, and looked ordinary, with no special aura. The only special thing was that it had some blood-red hair-like things growing all over its body.

Wagner glanced at the scarecrow, as if he was a bit reluctant, but finally made up his mind. He pinched a red hair with his thumb and forefinger, pulled it hard, and tore off a long hair.

As the red hair was pulled away, the scarecrow visibly loosened a bit, as if it would disintegrate if it was pulled again.

Wagner glanced at it distressedly, put it back into the bag, and then spit out a gloomy gray-green flame from his mouth, igniting the dark red hair.

With a "boom", the hair exploded and turned into ashes in an instant. This ashes was also different from the black-gray color of ordinary items after burning. Instead, it looked like dark red blood dried up and ground into powder.

Under Wagner's control, those ashes floated towards the balloon clown, fell on the red thread protruding from its chest, and then melted and adhered to it.

The silk thread became bright red and bright, and the dark red color seemed to be about to drip blood at any moment, and an ominous sign of old age emanated from it.

The efficiency of the silk thread blessed by the red hair has been greatly improved. After ten seconds, it seems to have found the target, and it becomes straight, as if the other end has entered another body.

Wagner's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and the fingers of his right hand changed several gestures like knot seals, and the rusty butcher knife in his hand was struggling to surge outward with countless dead souls.

He directly stabbed the knife into the position of the balloon clown's chest magic circle, and a dead soul in the butcher knife let out a roar of resentment, and disappeared without a trace. None exploded.

The red thread shrank instantly, and went to the other end with a strange curse energy.

Vaguely, there seemed to be screams.

"Damn!"

A strange and crazy voice came from the void and chaos.

What followed was a bright death light, which broke through the space and went straight to Wagner.

The death light seemed to have a strong effect of creating fear. The first time it appeared, all the people present were stunned, with expressions of confusion, fear, and panic on their faces, as if they were experiencing the most frightening scene in their lives. .

The same is true for Luke. In his feeling, the ability tree in his body began to absorb his own energy and flesh uncontrollably, growing and growing without limit, and the branches and trunks also turned into entities. It grows everywhere, turning itself into a pile of dead flesh.

Fortunately, he also has the divinity of "fear", and he recovered in just an instant.

Is this my greatest fear?Concerns about Goldfinger.

Yes.

Although he has improved so much, evolved from a mortal to a hero-level superhuman, all this is from the function of Goldfinger, and he has no idea how the ability tree came about and how it works.

Luke worried for only a second, and then put the question behind him in an instant.

With his ability, if he is self-taught without the ability tree, he may only be able to stay where he is in the past year.

If the ability tree is abandoned because of this kind of worry, it can only be said that it is a waste of food because of choking, and it is a brain damage.

Therefore, Luke very easily got rid of this predicament by using the logic of solving the problem of fear of ghosts in his previous life.

If there really are ghosts, then it’s a big deal to kill me. If there are no ghosts to kill me, it means there are no ghosts.

Highlight that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

The reason why Luke has so many instant thoughts instead of thinking about helping others is naturally because there is a strong man on the field who has not been affected by the death light at all-Albert.

Before the death light reached Wagner, he had already greeted him, with a simple punch, the dense ripple power burst out, directly offset the death light, and also pulled back the people who were in fear.

"How?" Albert looked at Wagner, "Is it wiped out?"

Wagner's face was full of confidence: "Destroyed, I have used the red hair my ancestors gave me, it would be too shameful if I couldn't kill it, the remaining two balloon clowns are useless, let's get rid of it .Also, the place where the clown is located should not be a restricted area, it seems to be in an alien space cut out from this world, that space is tightly sealed, and now the owner there is alarmed, I did not find the specific coordinates Location."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came to report that the two balloon clowns in captivity had somehow disappeared automatically.

The plan to draw wages from the bottom of the pot was successful.

But Luke's plan had to try again.

At night, he stayed in Waldburg, continuing to look for the opportunity to activate [Desecrate].

Time passed by minute by minute.

At four or five o'clock in the morning, while Luke was meditating, suddenly the branches of the ability tree representing [Desecration] shone slightly, and the skills that had been ineffective since being activated finally moved, and the branches also shook to send a message to Luke. message.

"Profanity is enabled, please choose a cropping ratio."

The stealing of faith by the ability of blasphemy is not static. If the caster is cautious and wants to keep flowing, he can steal it at a ratio of one to two percent. It is also sensitive, and the probability of being discovered by the original owner is relatively low.

If it's a one-shot deal, you can intercept all of them directly, but this is not called stealing, it's called robbery.

Luke pressed an emergency button to remind the people in the abnormal affairs handling brigade that they can act on their side, but after a while, many people came to protect the law, because they were worried that the clown would use the death light attack again, and even Albert also went forward Come.

After getting ready, Luke began to officially activate the [Desecration] ability.

His ultimate goal was to stop the balloon clown's actions, and improving himself was only incidental, so he directly chose the most violent and easiest to detect all interceptions.

The moment he made a decision, a lot of fear flooded towards the ability tree like a river flooding.

The roots representing the divinity of "fear" absorb these fears and nourish their own growth, but for a thin ray of divinity, these energies are too huge and majestic. Soon, the energy at the roots will It's already overflowing.

In desperation, the excess fear was diverted to the [Dread Crow] skill.

Albert and several others kept watch over Luke from four o'clock in the morning until the next evening.

The others took turns to eat and rest, but Albert, as the highest combat force of Waldburg, stayed firmly by Luke's side from beginning to end to prevent him from being attacked from different spaces.

Derry Township, a remote town far away from Phoenix, was formed by the gathering of loggers during the pioneering period of the Americas.

For a long time, this place has been filled with a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. There is only one exception, which is that the proportion of missing and dead children in this small town is far higher than six times the overall average of the Lighthouse Country.

Of course, this is just a thing of the past.

After all, such proportions only occur once every 27 years.

But it's different now. For more than a year, since that terrifying monster appeared, it never returned.

And Deli Town completely lost contact with the outside world shortly after the monster appeared.

At the beginning, it was impossible to go out, and some residents tried to escape, but once they left the town for a certain distance, they were stopped by a strange force, as if they had encountered an "air wall" that is common in games.

But at this time, people can still see the scene outside the town.

One month later, the scene outside the "air wall" gradually became blurred, as if the outside of the town and the inside had become two worlds.

Another half month passed, and even the sun in the sky was getting dimmer.

In the end, the sun and the moon shining over the town disappeared, replaced by the same huge clown mask that exudes blood-red light.

The mask would grin from time to time and irregularly, exposing the upper and lower rows of sharp teeth inside, and making a weird laugh.

At this time, a small town resident would be pulled into the air by an invisible force, chewed and devoured by that hideous and terrifying giant mouth, and then turned into blood rain and fleshy mud and fell to the ground.

This fairly prosperous town originally had two to 3000 people, but in this terrifying and depressing atmosphere, in addition to those who were directly swallowed by monsters, there were also some who chose to commit suicide in despair. Up to now, there are only 1000 people left. People are still alive.

Fortunately, the food reserves in the town are relatively sufficient. With only half of the town's residents left, even if they just sit and eat, it is enough for the remaining survivors to eat and drink for half a year.

As for half a year later?
It doesn't matter whether everyone is alive or not, who cares so much.

On the same afternoon that Luke intercepted fear in Phoenix and the surrounding towns.

The balloon clown was killed in Derry Town, and Pennywise was very annoyed.

This clown, which can be cloned in large numbers, is a perfect work born by accident. Apart from its weak body, it basically has no shortcomings.

As a result, the happiness disappeared within a few days.

He fought back in the air from embarrassment, but was easily shattered by a strange strong man.

Well, he endured it!
Anyway, there is still some residual fear that can be absorbed.

While the Balloon Clown's influence is still there, continue to enjoy a host of fear buffs.

Unexpectedly, while eating a living person and singing, suddenly, all the fear was cut off by Luke.

After a little sensing, he realized that his power of faith was stolen, no, robbed, and he even felt the address clearly.

It was still a familiar place, and there was a familiar atmosphere beside it.

Damn it!
The person who killed me just now robbed my "money"!
It is tolerable and unbearable.

However, most of Pennywise's energy and background were spent on running Deli Town. Thinking about the strong man who was smashed to death with one punch, he might not be able to play well after leaving the home court of Deli Town. Pass.

The clown mask in the sky suddenly became irritable. The three light spots above its head kept spinning, as if it wanted to be excited, but after running for a long time, it finally stopped.

Afterwards, the irritable clown directly opened his mouth wide, swallowed more than a dozen people at once, grinded and chewed a little bit for half an hour, and then spit out the remains of those people.
