The barrage of comnts suddenly fell silent.
The scene in front of them completely overturned everyone's worldview. They had never witnessed such a bizarre and malevolent sight.
"What is this place? Hell?"
"Why is there sothing like this under our city?"
"Can soone tell this is just an illusion?"
"I see my daughter there!"
The barrage of comnts resurfaced, covering up the terrifying scene, leaving only the lonely silhouette of Gu Yi.
Gu Yi turned to the cara, bowing slightly. Then he took out a balloon from his pocket and skillfully crafted it into a Thompson submachine gun.
"Beep beep beep—"
With a whistle in his mouth, Gu Yi blew it rapidly, mimicking the sound of machine-gun fire.
The balloon gun's muzzle spewed like flas, and in no ti, it pierced through the entangled bony branches overhead.
The branches flailed wildly in the air, spraying a mixture of red and white fluid.
Gu Yi blew his whistle again, and the fluids turned into fireworks in mid-air. The caraman imdiately aid the lens at the beds, where the children all wore happy smiles as if they had just experienced a beautiful dream.
"That clown is helping these children pass on."
"The pain on the children's faces has disappeared."
"He's a superhero fighting against the devil!"
Beep—
The whistle sounded again.
The caraman, supporting the reporter, approached Gu Yi. "Hero, do you have any instructions?"
Gu Yi patted both of their shoulders and then pointed to his own.
"Uh? What are you trying to say?"
Gu Yi rolled his eyes.
The reporter, turning pale, tentatively asked, "You want us to grab onto your shoulders, right?"
Gu Yi nodded frantically.
The caraman looked at the reporter in amazent. "How did you understand that?"
"Talent?"
The two, one on each side, leaned on Gu Yi's shoulders.
Gu Yi took off the strap from his shoulder and, with a whoosh, threw it onto the ceiling.
The strap stuck to the ceiling, taut like a rubber band. Gu Yi held the reporter and the caraman on each side and blew his whistle forcefully.
"Beep—"
The strap contracted instantly.
Like stones launched from a slingshot, the three of them shot upward, breaking through the ceiling.
The reporter scread with his eyes shut, only hearing the rushing wind by her ears.
"Open your eyes and look!"
"No!"
Although the reporter protested, she instinctively opened her eyes.
The eyeball fruits on the big tree were all staring at them. At the top of the canopy, there were many goat-headed creatures, glaring nacingly at the trio.
Their montum was fading, and they were still three to four ters away from the top.
"Beep!"
Gu Yi glanced at the caraman, who understood the cue and wrapped his arms around Gu Yi's neck.
Now with his hands free, Gu Yi pulled out a whip and threw it with a swoosh.
The whip wrapped around a tree limb, pulling all three to the top.
"Oh my god," the caraman, lying on the tree canopy and looking down at the deep pit below, said, still in shock. "This is even more thrilling than filming a movie."
"Quickly, start recording from your phone!"
"Oh!"
The caraman hurriedly raised his phone's cara.
With his back to the lens, Gu Yi bowed to the countless goat-headed creatures. He then swung his whip forcefully, as if wanting to even tear the wind apart. The creatures let out painful cries and transford into pixelated blocks the size of fists.
"Where did all these monsters co from?"
"Who knows?"
"You two, hurry up and follow him! I want to see how the clown will deal with those monsters!"
The barrage of comnts was furious, urging the reporter and caraman to move forward.
However, Gu Yi moved too quickly, and the two were trailing behind, drenched in sweat.
"Mr. Clown, can you... slow down..."
"Yes... we can hardly..."
Both the reporter and the caraman stopped speaking.
The caraman's hands trembled, forgetting he was still holding the phone to record.
The sight before him was unforgettable.
A gigantic black cat appeared in front of him, its single leg was longer than the combined height of the three of them.
"ow~" The black cat spoke, "Gu Yi, do you think you're invincible? This world belongs to Gu Yao. As long as I control this tree, you'll never be able to kill !"
Gu Yi tilted his head, making a gun gesture toward the black cat.
The cat shrieked and lunged at Gu Yi with its claws.
Blue lightning emanated from the tips of the cat's claws, and from a distance, almost shattering the caraman's phone. The balloon crowns above their heads also burst, turning into fireworks and dissipating.
"What are you waiting for? Record it with your phone!"
"Oh, right." The caraman, snapping out of his daze, lifted his phone again. "Clown, dodge it!"
The cat's claw hovered over Gu Yi's head and suddenly stopped.
Gu Yi slowly raised his right hand, puckering his lips and squinting his left eye.
"Biu!"
Mimicking the sound of a gunshot from his mouth.
Before the echo faded.
The black cat howled in pain, turning into giant pixel blocks.
"Was it that easy?"
"Damn, such a huge monster, and it died just like that?"
"This clown is so powerful!"
The comnts were full of admiration.
The caraman and the reporter dodged continuously, avoiding the falling pixel blocks.
Gu Yi tilted his head slightly, avoiding the largest black pixel. He climbed up the tree trunk to the top of the canopy.
Without Gu Yi's help, the reporter and caraman could only stand below, holding up their phones.
Gu Yi approached his sleeping sister.
There was an air barrier around her. He tapped on it gently, revealing a kind smile.
Suddenly, Gu Yi felt the power within him rapidly depleting. Turning his head, he saw the reporter and caraman frozen in place, as if a pause button had been pressed.
Gu Yi snapped his fingers, and the phone in the caraman's hand imdiately flew into his hand.
The countdown had stopped.
Frozen at [99:99:99].
Closing his eyes, Gu Yi attempted to use his talent, but he saw nothing but void.
— Now was the crucial mont.
Gu Yi clenched his fist, pounding the air barrier in front of him until his fist bled, shattering the wall. He then gently touched his sister's face.
She opened her eyes, staring blankly at Gu Yi.
Squeak——
A screeching sound echoed in Gu Yi's ears, followed by a tidal wave rushing towards him from the void. Gu Yi's clown mask began to loosen, and cracks appeared on its surface. He held onto it, preventing it from falling off.
A golden light flashed.
Unable to bear it, Gu Yi closed his eyes.
"You little bitch, when you grow up, you should sell yourself. At least then you'll earn so money for your parents. Raising you is a total waste!"
Reopening his eyes, Gu Yi saw a woman berating soone, pointing at the nose. It was then that he realized — he was inside his sister's mories.
