As Yin Zhu turned her head blankly to look at the tourists who were quickly falling over around her, the viewers on Earth were getting increasingly anxious.
"Quick, hide! Stop spacing out!"
"Ahhh, the clown is already at the door! I can't look!"
"Bullet screen protection! Bullet screen protection! Bullet screen protection!"
"High-energy content ahead!"
"I have high blood pressure, I can't watch this!"
Yin Zhu couldn't hear the comments on the screen, but she could imagine how much blood pressure her actions would cause viewers to spike.
As Yin Zhu slowly turned around, her eyes met those of the clown.
The clown took a few seconds to confirm that Yin Zhu was alone, then chuckled and said, "Found you!"
He raised his knife and walked step by step toward Yin Zhu.
Indeed, there is a rule in haunted houses:
9. The staff inside the haunted house will not have physical contact with you; please do not assault them.
Even viewers could spot the wording trap. The rules only stated that staff would not have physical contact with tourists, but the killer clown was carrying a knife the entire time!
This certainly doesn't count as physical contact.
Yin Zhu shook her head: "No, I found you, Mr. Horror."
The clown seemed surprised for a second, but quickly laughed again: "I'm not—"
"Slap."
A diary was thrown past his ear by Yin Zhu, landing behind the clown. For a moment, the air in the morgue seemed to freeze.
"What else should I call you? A haunted house employee? The killer clown from Wei Chuxing's novels? Or Mr. Horror?"
Yin Zhu stood in the shadows, making it difficult to see her expression and physical condition—in fact, Yin Zhu was already prepared. As soon as the clown attacked, she would use the corpse on the bed next to her as a shield, and then use underhanded fighting methods to snatch the knife and stab the clown to death.
As for being livestreamed being brutally murdered by the Chosen One, Yin Zhu felt she was not in a position to consider that matter at the moment.
After all, morality and law-abidingness come after life is threatened.
Even under the laws of Earth, there is still the concept of emergency avoidance. Moreover, if the current "talk therapy" doesn't go smoothly, Yin Zhu will only need to consider how to kill the other party and survive. Reputation and image are the least important things.
If it really causes anxiety among the people of the Dragon Kingdom, either the propaganda department will help her quell the conflict, or she will be placed under house arrest by the think tank. No matter which outcome, it is not something that Yin Zhu can decide alone.
Amusement parks can play word games with the rules and have clowns attack tourists, so Yin Zhu can also exploit the rules.
Please do not assault employees.
In other words, if the goal is directly to kill, then it doesn't count as a fight.
Compared to intentional injury, intentional homicide is a more serious crime, but since it is a different category, it means that the two are not the same definition.
This is from Yin Zhu of the Blue Star Law Church.
The same logic applies even on Dawn Star.
The clown sensed that the temperature in the morgue had dropped a few degrees, and with the occasional cold draft escaping from the cold storage, there was a slightly eerie feeling in the room.
"Hehehe—are you—joking—?"
The Joker didn't want to admit it.
However, many things cannot be made useful simply by whether a person or a strange entity wants to or not.
Yin Zhu took a step forward, proactively closing the distance with the clown. This was her usual tactic: to strike first and make the other person indecisive before they could pressure her.
“I’m not joking, you should know best in your heart. You are a character that Wei Chuxing created with his friends when he was in the orphanage. That was when you first got a name—Mr. Horror.” Yin Zhu stared intently at the clown. “After he started working on it, he got the complete character design and was finally born in the funeral home instance that he entered after becoming the Chosen One. Your purpose is to help Wei Chuxing scare that boss, make him fearful, and make him let Wei Chuxing leave on his own.”
Until the end of this passage, the Joker remained completely still, just like a player reciting lines in a game.
Yin Zhu had prepared herself mentally for a long time, figuring out how to respond if the clown attacked her, but the clown didn't react at all until Yin Zhu finished speaking.
Ugh, all that preparation was for nothing.
Although a little disappointed, compared to the tense and exciting hand-to-hand combat, Yin Zhu still hoped that her preparations would be more useless, as that would be safer.
After Yin Zhu finished speaking, the clown finally spoke up: "Hehe—the story you made up—is really fun!"
Do you know how I recognized you?
Yin Zhu interrupted him, raised her hand to touch her neck, and continued, "Your speaking style is exactly the same as Mr. Horror's at the beginning. Even if the voice is completely different, it is difficult to change the speaking habits."
"Hehe." The clown's answer was ambiguous.
"The funeral home forbids its employees from looking at the bodies under the white sheet, which is why you didn't check under the white sheet here. This is also your other identity—a haunted house employee."
Yin Zhu looked past the clown and towards what was behind him.
That's the direction of the funeral home's main entrance.
"If I'm not mistaken, the main entrance of the funeral home is directly connected to the main entrance of the church, but you've locked that door."
The reason for this speculation is based on what the two groups of tourists said.
They said they entered the office area when they came down, but Yin Zhu and the others entered the church area.
This indicates that there is not a single entrance to the haunted house.
However, this also leads to another problem: if a visitor randomly enters the third area and accidentally falls into the fourth area, it is almost equivalent to missing the first two areas. From the visitor's perspective, this would reduce the game content by half.
