The downpour continued unabated.
There was already much water accumulated inside the amusement park.
Du Wei, holding a black umbrella, stood in the rain; beneath his feet, a whirlpool formed by the converging water flowed toward the sewer entrance.
This sewer was constructed alongside the road, screened by a large hole in a rusted wire mesh.
Some withered leaves were stuck on the mesh, looking somewhat dirty and messy.
Du Wei squatted down and peered in.
Behind the mesh at the entrance, a pair of malevolent, blood-colored eyes were also staring back at Du Wei.
The Pennywise Clown was hiding within this sewer.
Their eyes met.
Influenced by his own psychological suggestion, Du Wei’s face turned somewhat pale, his fear intensifying by the moment, yet he let this emotion fester unchecked.And the Pennywise Clown felt Du Wei’s growing fear.
It grinned malevolently as its hand reached out through the hole in the wire mesh toward Du Wei’s ankle.
Its nails were sharp and pointed, curved like the claws of a wild beast.
Moreover, the skin on its hand was an ashen white, which made it look even more terrifying.
"Huff…”
Du Wei hastily retreated, his breathing becoming rapid.
Upon seeing this, the Pennywise Clown’s smile grew even more hideous.
"Hehe… hehehe…”
Its outstretched hand frantically scratched about, desperately trying to grab Du Wei, yet it seemed unable to emerge from the sewer, as if it were trapped; even with its hand fully extended, it couldn’t touch its target.
Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a bit safer.
But gradually…
The arm calmed down, lay flat on the ground, letting the water wash over it as it slowly retracted back into the sewer.
Du Wei squinted, looking back toward the sewer entrance.
It was pitch-black inside, impossible to see a thing.
Yet that connection told him the Pennywise Clown was still in there…
The atmosphere was so oppressive it was almost suffocating.
An evil spirit wasn’t something that could be contained by a mere sewer.
The reason it stayed below was because it was brewing an even more terrifying action.
This, if anything, was even more frightening…
Du Wei gripped the black umbrella tightly, his heart pounding violently as he stared intently at the sewer entrance.
Not seeing something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Suddenly…
A series of regular footsteps sounded from behind Du Wei.
He swiftly turned around, his pupils contracting instantly…
Behind him, at some point, a very familiar squad had appeared.
Leading them was a girl, also holding a black umbrella.
Ominous, oppressive…
It was the Evil Spirit Squad…
Du Wei’s expression turned very unsightly; he was certain that the Evil Spirit Squad had been trapped to death in Massas City, unable to come out.
Yet what he saw before him was the most real scenario.
That sense of oppression and malice was genuinely terrifying.
"This isn’t an illusion; it’s the impact it had on me after my fear of the Pennywise Clown,” he realized.
"It seems like it can create some things that I’m afraid of, just not that powerful…”
Du Wei struggled to keep calm; he was in the grip of his own psychological suggestions, unable to ignore his fear.
Of course, he wasn’t planning to do so.
Because once the fear vanished, the Pennywise Clown would surely flee again.
It was like fishing.
He was the fisherman, and fear was the bait…
In the sewer, Pennywise Clown still refused to come out, staring at Du Wei with malicious eyes, his sinister laughter unceasing.
The laughter became increasingly eerie.
At first, it only appeared by his ears, but now it echoed directly in the depths of his heart.
Even as Du Wei covered his ears, he could not resist that grim, sinister laughter anymore.
The more one fears it, the more powerful it becomes.
Du Wei looked at the sewer entrance and then turned his head towards the approaching Evil Spirit Squad, a struggling expression on his face as if making a difficult decision.
The next second.
Du Wei sighed, turned around, and was about to leave, seemingly giving up completely on dealing with Pennywise Clown, unable to endure the terror and fleeing in panic.
But just as he turned, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.
Its eyes were bloodshot, filled with immense malice, its body nebulous, with only a faint outline visible.
The moment it appeared, it charged towards Du Wei.
Turning his head again, the surroundings became darker and darker, and many Evil Spirits that had contact with Du Wei quietly emerged.
There was the nun, Annabelle, Mrs. Mina possessed by the Evil Spirit, two spirits wrapped in bandages…
And so on and so forth…
At that time.
Pennywise Clown seemed to seize the opportunity and suddenly disappeared from the sewer.
Through the connection, Du Wei instinctively looked up…
Above his head, a massive gaping mouth appeared.
Pennywise Clown held a red giant balloon in one hand, and fiercely reached for Du Wei’s eyes with the other.
It was capable of eating people…
But Du Wei sneered at it, “You took the bait…”
He reached out with his right hand, grabbing Pennywise Clown, and underwent the Evil Spirit Transformation.
The chilling aura reappeared.
Psychological suggestion ineffective.
Du Wei’s face turned utterly cold and indifferent, his right hand, transformed by the Evil Spirit, grabbed Pennywise Clown’s neck and pressed it firmly to the ground, pinning it down.
"Now do you know what fear is?”
Pennywise Clown struggled desperately, but the transformed right hand gripped its neck tightly; it couldn’t escape.
Moreover, when Du Wei dismissed the psychological suggestion and returned to normal, all the so-called negative emotions like fear and apprehension were nothing but a joke to him.
Its strength was directly related to the fear of its target.
Without the emotion of fear, it was weak and could only struggle…
Du Wei’s right hand held down Pennywise Clown’s neck, while his left hand pulled out a white cloth from his backpack, attempting to wrap it up.
Yet, Pennywise Clown began to cackle sharply.
Those Evil Spirits around Du Wei swiftly closed in.
Even many Evil Spirits that Du Wei had encountered before, or persons he’d seen die at the hands of the Evil Spirits, appeared one after another.
The two spirits he encountered in the Horror House…
The Scarecrow spirit from the wheat field…
HIs neighbor Roy…
The female news anchor Linda who died on the bus…
Around Du Wei, in an instant, it was as though it turned into a human hell…
Yet Du Wei kept sneering, saying to Pennywise Clown, “Don’t waste your effort; all these things you’ve conjured up, I’ve dealt with every one of them. Even their actual entities couldn’t kill me, so how could some fakes you conjure scare me?”
"You know nothing about me!”
But then.
A voice Du Wei was extremely familiar with rang out.
"I also think it knows nothing about me.”
The oppressive aura around them instantly became stagnant.
In the rain, a man wearing a white mask and dressed exactly like Du Wei appeared eerily.
It was Evil Spirit Du Wei…
He took elegant steps, each with consistent distance, and if not for his sinister and terrifying demeanor, he could easily be mistaken for an aristocratic gentleman from the last century.
