Chapter 16 The Killing Clown

The eerie clown, dragging the corpse with one hand, shook the flashlight in his hand and raised the yellow bag, his intentions couldn't be clearer.

Just then, the voice broadcast of the Rule Anomaly sounded again.

"White Bear Country's Chosen, Matrosovsky, has died. A blizzard disaster will descend upon White Bear Country."

Shen Wei was shocked. "The one who was killed was the Chosen who escaped here with me. We were scattered in various parts of this haunted house by some strange force..."

The footsteps downstairs were getting closer. Not to mention whether he could get the flashlight and the map of survival, it was best to get past those three and leave here.

"How to choose from the three? Which one is safe?"

Shen Wei was also lost in confusion.

"I advise you to hurry up, the thing downstairs is coming up..."

The Evil God's right hand was full of anxiety.

"First, eliminate the bastard squatting in the corner drawing circles and cursing me. This guy's mental state is extremely unstable, and the clothes he's wearing are exactly the same as the strange man who killed me in the simulation before..."

"Now it's a two-way choice between the young doctor in the white coat and the strange killer clown. He looks safe, but Haunted House Visit Rule Seven: Seek out monsters to ask for flashlights and maps of survival. To be honest, the killer clown really fits the bill, but this guy is a ruthless killer outside. If I guess wrong, I'll lose my little life..."

Just as Shen Wei was hesitating, his Evil God's right hand suddenly said, "The strange clown might be wearing a mask. His real face isn't like that..."

"Could this strange killer clown be one of the staff here? Haunted House Visit Rule Two: It's best not to make any noise when visiting the haunted house and it is forbidden to talk to other visitors. I can't make a sound, so I can't ask him any questions. The last simulation was a lesson!"

"The killer clown's appearance should be considered a monster, right? At least he's strangely inhuman. And did you see his pocket? It's yellow, and the flashlight's light is yellow. The safe zone in the Haunted House Visit Rules mentioned yellow and red lights. If I'm judging correctly, yellow light might repel malicious monsters."

"Also, look at his flashlight beam, it's always covering the man squatting in the corner. So, I guess he might be protecting me. I've decided to risk it. Choose the killer clown..."

"Are you sure you don't want to think about it again? Although according to the rules, he might be a haunted house staff member, the danger is still high. How about another simulation!"

The Evil God's right hand said with a solemn tone.

Shen Wei's ears twitched slightly, and then his face changed drastically. "It's too late, they're already upstairs. I have to make a choice now..."

With that, Shen Wei ran quickly towards the strange killer clown.

The sound of rustling crawling came from the wall behind him once again. Judging by the sound, there was more than one of these things chasing Shen Wei.

Seeing Shen Wei rushing over, the killer clown loosened his grip on the bag.

"Take the flashlight, turn on the high beam..."

The strange killer clown suddenly said this to Shen Wei.

"He's really a staff member in disguise, but those things behind aren't..."

The white-coated doctor with the flashlight stared blankly as Shen Wei ran past, and reached out to close the office door.

Just as Shen Wei reached into the yellow pocket and took out the flashlight, the strange patients who were leaping on the walls suddenly split into two groups. One group rushed towards Shen Wei and the killer clown, and the other group rushed directly into the white-coated doctor's office.

Shen Wei adjusted the brightness of the flashlight to high, and the dazzling yellow light instantly enveloped the entire corridor.

The strange patients chasing after him slowly turned into ashes in the yellow light. In the doctor's office, there were bursts of roars, as if two sides were fighting.

"The doctor has a flashlight, but why doesn't he use the high-beam function to dispel the strange patients attacking him! Could it be that the flashlight in his hand is fake..."

A look of sudden realization appeared on Shen Wei's face. But something unexpected happened: the yellow light emitted from the flashlight in his hand was gradually weakening, and it flickered a few times like a bad connection, and the emitted yellow light also dimmed a lot.

"Does the yellow light consume a lot of flashlight power? Was the power low just now?..."

Just as Shen Wei wanted to check the flashlight in his hand, an unfamiliar male voice shouted to him.

"Quick, let's go..."

The staff member wearing the killer clown mask said anxiously to Shen Wei. Then, the two ran into the dark depths of the second floor one after the other.

The scene on the second floor was really large and realistic. Shen Wei didn't know how long he had been running. He only knew that when he stopped, the clown wearing the killer doll mask had disappeared.

"Did we get separated? Or what happened? Could it be that the space here is folded and distorted? He was running in front of me just now, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye..."

Just as Shen Wei was racking his brains, the light from the flashlight began to flicker continuously. Finally, the flashlight returned to lighting, but looking at the weakened light, it seemed that it would go out completely before long.

"Kid, I think you need to charge the flashlight, otherwise, without the protection and lighting of the flashlight, it will be difficult for you to leave here..."

The Evil God's right hand was playing with the flashlight that the killer clown gave to Shen Wei with great interest.

Shen Wei thought for a while, and then said with a solemn expression:

"A place to charge the flashlight? And it has to be safe? The only thing I can think of is Haunted House Visit Rule Five, which mentions a safe rest area, which should not only protect the Chosen from strange creatures, but it's also likely to be a supply point for the Chosen to replenish flashlight power. I have to find the safe rest area before the flashlight light goes out..."

Seeing that the flashlight in his hand was about to run out of power, Shen Wei knew that he couldn't delay. He took off the simple map wrapped in the leather case on the flashlight, and after looking at it with the flashlight for a while, he accelerated his search speed.

The second floor was very large, beyond Shen Wei's imagination. The various departments inside the mental hospital were all here: Department of Neurology, Department of Geriatric Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatric Rehabilitation, Department of Women's and Children's Psychiatry, Department of Physical Therapy, Operating Room, Department of Psychosomatic Diseases, Department of Psychotherapy and Counseling, etc.

Most of the departments here were pitch black, but there were faint screams and moans inside.
