At the same time, outside the castle.
As she felt the terrifying aura that filled the castle dissipate, the expression on Mavis's face changed from calm to horror.
Disappeared!
The aura of the undead that had shrouded the entire castle for hundreds of years disappeared in an instant.
What on earth happened inside the castle?
Inside the castle, Rhodes defeated the Headless Knight.
The aura of undead that shrouded the castle slowly dissipated.
Sunlight shines into the room.
Vivian and the others hiding in the castle saw this scene and immediately knew that Rhodes had dealt with the headless knight.
"Rod, have you eliminated that evil spirit?"
Vera's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief on her face.
She knew that Rhodes was a wizard, but she didn't expect him to be so powerful.
It only took such a short time to deal with that terrifying headless knight.
"Let's get going quickly. What if a guy scarier than the Headless Horseman shows up?"
Blake's face showed relief at surviving the disaster, and without a moment's hesitation, he ran out of the castle.
He even forgot about his girlfriend.
Betty looked at her boyfriend who was running away in panic, opened her mouth, and her eyes were filled with indescribable disappointment.
Together with Vivian, he supported Amy and left the castle.
"Let's go!"
Rhodes came towards them and looked at several women with tired faces.
After this incident, I think I will learn a lesson. If I do this again next time, I won't be so lucky.
After all, it was impossible for him to guard these guys like a bodyguard all day long.
"Now I just want to go home quickly and have a good sleep."
Vera pursed her lips, with fear in her eyes.
Looking at the castle behind her, the fear in her eyes was hard to conceal. She was afraid that she would never come to such a haunted place again in her life.
He was attacked by several evil spirits in succession and even watched someone die in front of him.
She is almost developing a psychological trauma now.
Although I have always liked exploring the supernatural world, I will only know when I really face such things.
Reality and imagination are two completely different things.
Ghosts are not as mysterious as she imagined, and it is impossible for them to be friends with humans.
If you really encounter an evil spirit, it would be your greatest luck to escape.
Rhodes raised his eyebrows, and left the castle with a few women and came to the parking lot.
Leaving Amy in the back driver's seat, Betty left to find her boyfriend. As for Vera, of course she left with his car.
After all, Amos had already turned into fertilizer, unless she wanted to walk home.
Rhodes started the fire and was about to leave when he saw the old administrator of the castle coming out from somewhere.
"What just happened in the castle!"
Mavis looked nervous, with strong anticipation and hope on her face.
He stared at Rhodes, eager to get the answer he wanted from him.
"I've already dealt with that guy. You don't have to guard this damn place anymore."
Rhodes waved his hand and said casually.
This old man has been guarding this castle for decades just to prevent the Headless Horseman from slaughtering too many humans and walking out of the castle to bring disaster to the people outside.
Although his strength is not that good, he is not a bad person.
He has now given her a relief.
"Is he dead…"
After getting the definite answer, Mavis relaxed all over and a smile uglier than crying appeared on her face.
The responsibility of guarding the castle has bound their family for hundreds of years, and each generation of guardians must stay in the castle for their entire lives.
To atone for the sins of their ancestors.
And now, the time has finally come to be free.
The old man who had guarded the castle for decades turned around and looked at the castle behind him. He suddenly took off a pendant from his chest and handed it to Rhodes.
"This is the emblem of our guardian family. Take it and it will guide you to find my family. With this emblem, they will try their best to fulfill all your wishes."
Rhodes looked at the pendant that Mavis handed over. Although it was a little strange, he still accepted it.
After all, he helped to get rid of the headless knight in the castle, so it was only natural to give him some reward.
However, he really didn't know what this guardian family was.
Seeing Rhodes accept the pendant, Mavis smiled with satisfaction.
"My granddaughters and daughter all have outstanding looks and figures. If you are interested, you can go and see them."
"A strong and excellent man like you should be very likable."
Tsk!
Looking at the slightly ambiguous expression on the woman's face, Rhodes could feel the jealous eyes behind him without even turning around.
However, after hearing this, he actually became a little curious.
When I have time, I might really want to go and take a look.
After watching the woman leave, Rhodes put the pendant away.
"You really are popular."
Vivian pouted, looking jealous. It had only been a short time since someone came to her doorstep to introduce a woman to this bastard.
Is this guy so popular?
"I'm not popular, how could you like me?"
Rhodes shrugged and stepped on the accelerator to drive towards the nearby town.
"Who likes you?"
Vivian curled her lips, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. If this guy didn't have this kind of charm, she wouldn't be so eager to be his lover and be with him.
Now that Rhodes is so popular, she should be happy.
This shows that her vision was correct and she did not misjudge the person.
Thinking of this, the jealousy I had originally felt suddenly faded a lot.
Instead, there was a sense of complacency.
She knew she had made the right choice.
"When did you learn how to exorcise demons?"
Suddenly thinking of something, Vivian looked at Rhodes with curiosity.
She really didn't know before that this guy actually hid this from her.
Then the terrifying evil spirits and the headless knight can be eliminated.
What other secrets is this guy hiding that she doesn't know?
"It's inherited from my ancestors. My family has been specialized in exorcism for 18 generations."
Rhodes didn't explain and just found a reason to fool the curious woman.
Although Vivian was a little skeptical when she heard it, she had no choice but to give up asking since Rhodes was unwilling to say anything.
If this guy doesn't want to talk about something, no matter how much she asks, she won't get any results.
When driving into the town and passing by the sewer, Vivian, who was originally looking at the scenery, suddenly widened her eyes.
"Did you hear any noise?"
Vivian looked around with a strange expression on her face, and her face suddenly showed some fear.
"What sound? Why didn't I hear it?"
Vera frowned, thinking that Vivian was joking and trying to scare her, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
This guy, why is he so childish and boring?
"Just now, it seemed like someone called my name."
Vivian looked at Vera's nonchalant eyes, and her expression suddenly became serious, not like she was lying at all.
Hearing this, Rhodes stepped on the brakes and stopped the car.
Suddenly he thought of something and asked with a serious face.
"Where did you hear that sound just now?"
With that, Rhodes drove back and asked Vivian to find the place where the sound came from.
"The sound seems to come from that sewer."
Vivian frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked towards the chair beside the road.
Rhodes looked in the direction of Vivian's finger and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The place Vivian pointed to was the sewer where he had heard the sound before.
Once or twice, it could be said that I heard it wrong, but this time even Vivian heard the voice, so it couldn't be explained by a simple hallucination.
"You guys wait here, I'll go take a look."
Rhodes got out of the car and walked towards the sewer. Looking at the dim sewer, he frowned slightly.
He didn't feel anything strange in this sewer.
It was pitch black, just like any other sewer.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed through the sewer. Rhodes' eyes flashed, and he threw an instant lighting spell directly over.
Swish!
The light flashed, and the dark sewer was illuminated. In the light, Rhodes saw a small figure.Over one meter tall, wearing funny costume and a red clown hair accessory on his head.
At a quick glance, Rhodes saw a clown face with a weird smile.
The sharp teeth were slightly grinning, the strange black pupils looked at him from a distance, and the mouth was slightly open as if speaking.
"I've got my eyes on you!"
"Hey!"
Suddenly a loud shout came from behind.
As the clown disappeared, Rhodes stood up with a frown and looked at a middle-aged man running from behind.
"Get away from here, don't come near this place!"
Looking at the middle-aged man with a face full of fear, Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly. From the man's expression, he could tell that he must know something.
For example, what was that clown that suddenly flashed by just now?
"Get out of here quickly, don't go near this place!"
The middle-aged man ran over and tried to push Rhodes away rudely.
Click!
Rhodes squeezed it casually, and the middle-aged man screamed with sweat on his forehead.
The hand that pushed towards Rhodes was twisted and deformed.
"Do you know what that thing was?"
Rhodes asked with a cold expression.
A trace of fear flashed across the middle-aged man's eyes when he heard that, but he still forced himself to look like he had no idea what you were talking about.
"I don't know what you are talking about. You are not welcome in this town. Please leave now!"
"have no idea?"
Rhodes smiled slightly and tapped the middle-aged man's brow with his finger.
Painful whipping!
In an instant, the pain that penetrated the soul was as severe as being cut into pieces by a thousand knives, making the person feel unbearable pain.
The middle-aged man opened his mouth, but no sound came out. His eyes were dilated and bloodshot.
His whole body trembled slightly involuntarily and his face turned pale instantly.
As Rhodes withdrew his fingers, the middle-aged white man stood there, staring blankly ahead. After more than ten seconds of daze, his lifeless eyes suddenly showed some luster.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
His chest heaved rapidly and he was gasping for breath like a fish out of water.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Rhodes was filled with fear from the bottom of his soul.
"What did you just do to me!"
The white man's voice was trembling, as if he had seen some horrible demon.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. Just answer my questions honestly and nothing will happen."
"Of course, if you refuse to cooperate, you probably don't want to experience the same feeling again, right?"
Rhodes had a harmless smile on his face, but the white middle-aged man was so scared that he lost his courage.
He didn't want to recall the pain of being close to death just now for even a second.
This bastard is simply a devil.
"Ask whatever you want to know."
Wells, looking dejected, lowered his head and sighed.
He walked slowly to the seat next to the sewer and collapsed on it powerlessly.
"I want to know, what was that clown just now?"
Rhodes was sitting next to him, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed one to the white guy.
Wells, who had regained his composure, began to tremble uncontrollably when he heard his question.
He stared at Rhodes with eyes wide open, a look that was a thousand times more terrifying than before.
"You, you said you saw, what did you see?"
Looking at the white man who was stuttering and looking as terrified as if he had heard the end of the world, Rhodes couldn't help but frown.
"I said, I just saw a clown in the sewer, do you know what it is?"
Rhodes repeated.
Although I don't know what that thing that flashed by just now was.
But his intuition told him that the thing was definitely not a human.
There is no such horrible evil aura on humans.
"He's back, he's back again!"
Wells, who didn't hear the second half of Rhodes' words at all, muttered in a low voice with a lifeless face, and the expression on his face went from pale to lifeless.
He didn't answer Rhodes, but just repeated the sentence.
He is back!
There was an irrepressible fear in those simple words.
This deep-seated fear even made Rhodes feel a little creepy and his back went cold.
Rhodes was a little confused.
What could make a grown man so scared? Just mentioning it made this guy almost go crazy with fear.
Calming magic!
Rhodes looked at the crazy white man who was crying and laughing, but his face was full of fear.
A magic spell instantly calmed his frightened heart.
The trembling body slowly calmed down, but the white man's hand holding the cigarette still couldn't stop shaking.
I put the cigarette in my mouth and took a deep breath, and the fear in my heart seemed to be relieved a little.
"That clown you're talking about…is a curse!"
Wells spoke slowly.
"Decades ago, a circus came to our town. The owner of the circus was a man dressed as a clown. On the surface, they were a circus that toured around the world."
"In fact, this group of guys are secretly running a human trafficking business. They take advantage of the breaks between circus performances to steal underage children and then sell them to other places to sell their organs for profit."
"When they came to this town to perform, a group of stolen children escaped, and the circus was exposed. The owner of the circus (Nohaohao) wanted to escape, but was beaten to death by the angry townspeople, and his body was dismembered and thrown into the sewer."
"From that time on, a clown would appear around Christmas time and kill the children in this town."
Wells paused slightly and continued.
"But, twenty-four years ago, this clown was killed by a group of children and has never appeared since. And now…"
"It's back again!"
Looking at Wells' frightened eyes, Rhodes basically guessed that this guy should be one of the children who killed the Joker.
They killed the Joker, but for some reason, the Joker came back to life.
"A few days ago, a child mysteriously disappeared in this town, and I guessed that this bastard might have returned."
"I didn't expect it to be this."
Wells gritted his teeth, resisting but unable to hide the anger in his heart.
Because his younger brother was killed by this damn clown when he was a child.
He overcame his fear of the clown with anger and joined forces with a few friends to kill the clown.
I never expected that this nightmare that once existed in my heart would crawl back from hell.
Who can kill him this time?
The Joker has just been resurrected, and his strength is at its lowest point.
Wells couldn't imagine what would happen to the people in this town if it were restored to its peak state.
Just thinking about it makes me feel a little desperate.
They might have been able to defeat the Joker in the past, but people grow and change.
The ignorant boy didn't know what fear was.
But the older you get, the more you understand what fear is.
And for the Joker, fear is his most desired food.
The more fear there is, the stronger it becomes and the harder it is to kill. As long as there is the slightest bit of fear, it cannot be completely killed.
So, what they were able to do when they were young does not mean they can still do it now.
"Wells, my good friend!"
Suddenly, a low laugh came from the sewer next to them.
"I'm back to see you again!".
