Chapter 289 Happy Birthday?
Chapter 289 Happy Birthday?
"I can't fall down!" He roared in his heart, but his body was no longer under his control.
Just when he felt he was about to collapse, a water ghost suddenly pounced on him, grabbing his shoulders tightly with his hands like pliers, and his sharp nails pierced his flesh, splashing blood.
"Ah!" Chen Yile let out a painful roar. He swung his sword at the water ghost, but due to exhaustion, he lost his accuracy and could only barely shake it away.
However, his body was already overwhelmed and even standing became difficult.
He staggered back, feeling as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and his vision went blurry.
"Am I going to die..." Chen Yile's consciousness gradually became blurred, the ghost in front of him became more and more blurred, and his ears were filled with the roar and cold laughter of the evil ghost.
The darkness came over him again, like a huge net, swallowing him completely.
However, just as he was about to lose consciousness, a low and strange laugh came from the black fog.
"You're so funny, Chen Yile." The clown reappeared, still wearing a strange smile and a hint of teasing in his eyes. "I haven't had enough fun yet. How can I let you die so soon?"
The clown slowly approached, its terrifying eyes fixed on Chen Yile. Then, it stretched out a bony hand and gently patted Chen Yile's shoulder.
Chen Yile felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders. His body instantly lost all strength, his legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.
He tried to struggle, but his body refused to obey him, as if suppressed by the Joker's power.
"I won't kill you, Chen Yile." The clown's laughter echoed in the darkness, carrying a hint of creepy amusement. "You are not worthy enough for me to kill you. Come back to me when you become stronger."
After saying that, the clown's figure gradually blurred and finally disappeared in the black fog.
Chen Yile's consciousness gradually fell into darkness, and his last bit of strength was finally exhausted, and he fainted.
And those evil spirits seemed to have received some invisible instructions, and they retreated and disappeared into the darkness.
The black fog spread again, and only Chen Yile's lonely figure was left between heaven and earth.
The clown's strange laughter still lingered in the air for a long time.
Chen Yile's consciousness gradually became blurred, his body was almost numb from the severe pain, and everything in front of his eyes was dark, but he clearly felt that he was falling rapidly, as if he was about to fall into an endless abyss.
"I can't die, I absolutely can't!" He roared in his heart, trying hard to mobilize the last bit of his will.
Just when his consciousness was about to completely collapse, the system prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind:
"The system mall has been opened. Do you want to use your points to redeem skill points immediately?"
Chen Yile confirmed without hesitation. Immediately afterwards, the shopping mall interface quickly appeared before him. He quickly scanned the dazzling array of items and found the "Repair Vajra Indestructible Body" item. Without hesitation, he redeemed it with points and immediately upgraded.
A warm current suddenly surged in his body, as if an invisible force was repairing his broken body.
Then, he used the remaining points to buy a bottle of "physical strength potion" and drank it all in one gulp.
The potion burned like a raging fire upon entering my body, instantly exploding within me. My energy was instantly restored, and my fatigue and pain vanished without a trace.
Chen Yile suddenly opened his eyes.
He found himself not in darkness, but in a dilapidated room. The mottled walls and scattered bricks around him showed that this was an abandoned building.
His body still lay on the cold ground, however, his wounds had completely healed.
"Brother Chen, you're awake!" Huang Xiaofang rushed towards him in surprise and hugged him tightly.
"Are you okay?" Her voice was trembling and concerned, and tears were shining in her eyes.
"I'm fine." Chen Yile shook his head gently, then struggled to sit up.
Huang Xiaofang and Xiao Yin, who was standing beside him, looked at him in disbelief.
"Brother Chen, how did your injury heal? Just now..." Xiao Yin's words were full of confusion and shock.
Chen Yile was just about to answer when suddenly, a strange melody sounded in the room.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
The sound seemed to come from all directions, sometimes far away and sometimes near, with a twisted joy.
Chen Yile stood up alertly and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw the door slowly open and a clown walked in pushing an old cart.
On the cart was a huge cake adorned with flickering candles.
The clown was wearing colorful and funny clothes, his face was covered with white paint, and the corners of his mouth were curved in an exaggerated arc. However, his smile revealed a cold and gloomy feeling.
"What tricks are you trying to play?" Chen Yile glared at him, his voice low and full of vigilance.
The clown did not answer directly, but pointed at a girl behind Chen Yile, with an increasingly weird smile on his face.
"It's her birthday. I was kind enough to celebrate her birthday. Why don't you thank me?"
The girl stood up trembling, her voice trembling: "Yes... it's my birthday, but how did you know?"
The clown's deep laughter echoed in the empty room. He shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Come on, make a wish, blow out the candles, and then you can eat cake. Today's game ends here, and I won't embarrass you anymore."
Chen Yile narrowed his eyes and cautiously remained motionless. This clown was too strange, and he didn't want to be fooled by him again.
He turned to look at the girl and gave her a hint.
The girl was trembling all over and said in a weak voice: "What wish should I make?"
"Whatever you like!" The clown laughed even more fiercely. "As long as you blow out the candles, your wish will come true."
Under the clown's gaze, the girl took a deep breath, closed her eyes, made a silent wish, and then carefully blew out the candle.
The moment the candle went out, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze for a moment.
The clown let out a creepy laugh, the sound was so sharp and piercing that it made your scalp tingle.
"Happy birthday!" the clown said in an exaggerated tone, and his laughter echoed in every corner of the room.
Then, his figure suddenly dissipated like smoke, and the whole room suddenly returned to an eerie silence.
Huang Xiaofang and her friends were stunned and looked at each other in bewilderment. They were really alright?
"He just...left like that?" Xiao Yin's voice was full of uncertainty.
Chen Yile let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Since everything is fine, forget it. Let's all take a rest first. I'm tired too."
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he remained highly alert in his heart. The Joker would not let them go so easily. He must have a more sinister plan in the dark.
At this time, a boy asked hesitantly: "Brother Chen, this cake... is it really edible?"
Chen Yile sneered: "If you want to die, eat it."
Everyone was frightened by his words and no one dared to approach the cake.
Everyone found a corner to sit down, their tense nerves relaxing a bit. However, the whole room was still filled with an inescapable uneasiness.
The shadows in the corners seemed to grow thicker, and an indescribable chill filled the air.
The silence lasted for a moment. Huang Xiaofang leaned against the wall, hugging her knees. She couldn't help but ask softly, "Brother Chen, do you think... that clown is really gone?"
Chen Yile closed his eyes, his expression grim: "I don't know. But no matter what tricks he plays, don't act rashly."
At this moment, someone's stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound, breaking the silent atmosphere.
Several people couldn't help but look at each other, their expressions complicated. Fear and exhaustion intertwined, and hunger gradually began to torture their bodies.
The tension in the air rose again, as if a new conspiracy was quietly approaching...
