Chapter 559: 11.85 First Green Star - Punishment World: 'Labyrinth - The Creepy Clown' (15)
Entering one of the dungeons under the Very Scary Genre, everyone as soon as passing through the entrance felt they'd entered some sort of space portal. Before they could reach the feeling of swirling being sucked inside was felt by everyone in their team.
Those who were not used in space teleportation felt their stomach swimming around. An Yuan and Zane, who had the weakest physique among the team, felt dizzy and nauseous.
Urgh~
Han Ya worriedly asked, "A'Yuan are you okay?" but when he heard his voice which suddenly turns a bit softer than his usual hoarse voice left him bewildered. He was stunned that he had forgotten to help An Yuan up.
Everyone heard his voice turn a bit childish.
Zane exclaimed, "Brother! Your voice turned so young... Eh?!!! Fuck! What happened to my deep and sexy voice!"
He reacted more wildly upon hearing that his voice had turned cuddly like Han Ya. It was as if he had returned to his childhood before he reached puberty.
Hahahaha~
It was Chu Mo who was laughing his ass out. His voice turned a bit childish as well but it was rougher than the other two as if he was a bit older than Han Ya and Zane just based on their voices alone.
Lan She is calm as always. His voice is softer than all of the first three men. "This mist is annoying. A'Mo clear the place."
"Ai Yo~," said Chu Mo as he controlled his wind element to blow away the mist.
Then everyone was surprised to see the rest of their teammates. As expected they had all turned into a child. I am barely in high school and haven't completely reached puberty. Well, Chu Mo and Ye Xiajie look a bit better as they look older than the rest. Han Ya, Zane, and Lan She looks like they were from grade school.
The thing that surprised them the most are An Yuan and Hei Anjing. They both become toddlers that could barely reach the waist of the others. There are even obvious fats on their face, arms, and legs. Like an adorable chubby doll.
An Yuan looked at his small fat doll hands as he sat like a bear on the ground.
"What... happened... to me?" said An Yuan. His voice is too small and cuddly. It looks like he was about to stutter due to his tongue being small. "I turned into a baby!!"
(OWO)
Seeing this Chu Mo and Zane couldn't hold back their laughter. The comical reaction of An Yuan was so cute adding up his mature expression that doesn't match his face.
HAHAHAHAHA~
An Yuan scolded but as a baby, he looked like he was pouting with his cheeks bloated like a little pufferfish.
"Shut up, Zane."
"Yes, Sir!"
Han Ya felt his beloved is too cute and didn't want Zane to bully him and so he glared at his friend forcing him to shut up. He gently picked up An Yuan in his arm after dusting him off.
"Don't worry I won't laugh anymore. Zane wouldn't laugh at you as well," said Han Ya.
An Yuan looks sadly as he stares at his chubby small hands. Since he is a baby, his tear ducts are hard to control. His anger causes his eyes to turn red with big water drops pooling at the corner.
"Why did I turn small? This is unfair." said An Yuan.
A sweet yet mischievous baby voice was heard.
"It's not unfair. I turned small too. You are not the only one." said the milky voice that was almost feminine.
An Yuan was happy when he saw Hei Anjing turn into a toddler like him. Moreover, it was hard to move away from his gaze as the baby version of Lord Hei is too cute. He looks like a living doll. His skin was white and smooth. It looks like a marshmallow from a distance. His phoenix-shaped eyes were still immature leaving an impression of the charm of an adorable baby. The type that you couldn't help but want to bite.
Chu Mo whispered to his lover, "I bet that if Lord Hei got lost in such size, everyone who saw him would like to kidnap him. Such a heavenly-looking baby no one wouldn't want one."
Ye Xiajie glared at his subordinate when he heard what he had just said. Chu Mo was frightened that his big boss would flatten him to death and hide unconsciously behind his lover. His lover is Lord Hei's aide-like person. In short, he serves him. There is no way his big boss would harm the people of his wife.
"You one can take you away. I'm here," said Ye Xiajie. His tone and voice were gentle and patient. He had a doting expression on his face as he looked at his wife.
For some reason, he felt that he had seen this kind of Hei Anjing. Small and fragile yet untainted and beautiful. He is one of a kind. Someone he wanted to protect with his life and someone he was willing to make happy in his whole life.
It was as if he had lost this precious person not just once but countless times. But no matter how much he tries to recall it, nothing comes into his mind making him frown uncontrollably.
Seeing his husband frown made Hei Anjing think that his love is in pain somewhere. It made him worried like all other times he would make such an expression.
With his fat and small hands, Hei Anjing gently massaged Ye Xiajie's knitted eyebrows.
Hei Anjing asked, "What's wrong? Does your head hurt, A'Xia?"
Ye Xiajie hugged him tightly as flashes of some unknown memories crossed his mind. In his memories, his Jing'er is just a newly born baby. He looks so soft, small, and extremely fragile. For someone like him who lives in the darkness, Baby Jing'er is his only source of life.
At this moment, the baby is gone. The baby becomes an extremely beautiful young man. Overly exquisite features, a pair of phoenix-shaped eyes that could hook up anyone's soul who would half meet it, and a mischievous smile only a play fairy would have.
Not only did his cold demeanor make him different from the others, the elegance of his every gesture made it hard for others to move away from their gaze. Like an untainted and unattainable being that one could only look at but never touch.
But this untouchable being left his bright land only to accompany him in the darkness becoming his sole solace and only love.
A love that is full of obsession, possessiveness, and passionate affection.
Why did he forget? His Jing'er has always been with him even in that abyss where there is nothing but endless darkness.
Ye Xiajie smiled, "Baby, I'm fine. It does not hurt anymore." Then he gave his forehead a pious smile. Complete pure and full of adoration.
Suddenly, a mechanical voice started an announcement that everyone in their group could hear.
&123;Welcome to the Dungeon. Your group has entered the domain of the Joker that lives in hell.
Plot: This is a countryside horror survival game. There is a group of NPC children starring in this game based on the movie 'IT'. There are no role-playing games. The dungeon gave you another identity in this movie.
Your group is considered as the lost children. In short, your real identity in this place is a ghost. You do not have a physical body unless you made it so you can have one. The main eight NPC children but the others couldn't. Be careful not to be exposed to adults. Once your existence got noticed by the adult NPC in this world you would never be able to leave this place.
Main Mission: Find the territory of the dancing clown and kill him.
Side missions:
*Prevent the deaths of any NPC children. (8/8) [The deaths of the NPC must not go beyond half]
*Get close and become friends with the NPC Children. (8/8)
*Help the NPC Children solve the mystery of the town. (1/1)
Reward's List:
Main Mission: Key Fragment
Side Mission:
(1/3): Props [1/child]
(2/3): Gold Coins [1,000/child]
(3/3): NPC Boss Card (Uses: one time)
Failure mission would mean you would be receiving a penalty of losing one of your senses for 3 hours.
Good Luck, Players!!!&125;
Everyone in the group finally knew why they shrunk. Because the NPC had to interact with our children. After learning that there are eight children that need to be protected, they knew that the team had to split up temporarily.
Chu Mo said, "Okay there are eight brats that need protection. Are we going to split up?"
"That should be the case but... We don't know what kind of enemy we are having. We can't take the risk as a death in this world means forever being sealed in here." said Lan She.
Zane spoke, "We don't even know who are the eight children that need protection and... We are supposed to be ghosts right now. We couldn't even touch them, much less give them protection."
"There is no problem with contact. There should be a prop that would allow us to materialize even temporarily," said Han Ya.
An Yuan said, "I know which prop had that kind of effect. The Soul Condensing Pill."
Everyone checked the store to look for the said pill. The prices were listed as the following:
---
Soul Condensing Pill
Ordinary grade: 1,000 gold coins/each
Effects: Last for three minutes
Mid-grade: 5,000 gold coins/each
Effects: Last for 10 minutes.
High grade: 9,000 gold coins/each
Effects: Last for half an hour. (30 minutes)
---
Everyone was surprised by the prices and unfair effects. The Store is obviously trying to milk them their gold coins.
Zane who is the poorest among the group could help but cursed out. He was different from the man of few words when he met Chu Mo and Lan She upon his arrival in the Village.
"Damn! That's so expensive with such useless effects," said Zane.
Chu Mo snorted, "Did the Abyssal World think we had blackmailed too much money from this Village's Elder? And now planned to milk us by forcing us to buy these things."
"These things are crucial at certain moments. Especially during these times, their lives are in danger. There is no way we could save them without being able to touch them." said Lan She.
Ye Xiajie commented with a blank face, "I could do it."
"Me too. I can save them even without touching but if I want to kill the clown then... These pills are indeed useful." said Hei Anjing.
Everyone's reactions, "..." except for the two who spoke last.
In that silence, Zane couldn't help but mumble, "Wua~ he is already planning on facing off the Main Boss NPC right from the start."
"Buy pills for your own use. 10 ordinary, 5 mid-grade and 3 high-grade Soul Condensing Pills," said Ye Xiajie. He had already assumed the leadership position in the team. Among them, everyone had already deemed him as the strongest.
Chu Mo asked, "Boss, what should we do?"
"Move in pairs or threes. Try to look for the NPC Children," said Ye Xiajie.
While everyone was talking about the next plan, Hei Anjing was asking Lan She and An Yuan to wear the raincoat he bought from the store urging them to wear it. These two never questioned whatever Hei Anjing wanted to do. But everyone sees his movements and wants to turn a blind eye to them but cannot do so.
When they saw that he even urged his husband to wear a raincoat, Han Ya, Zane, and Chu Mo asked him bewildered.
"Why are you wearing a raincoat?"
"Is it going to rain?"
Asked by Chu Mo and Zane, Han Ya had no other choice but to wear it as An Yuan is asking him to do so. As soon as the two silly men finished asking about the raincoat, a sudden rain poured over their heads. The rain is quite strong as the raindrops almost formed a line.
WHOOSH!!! PITTER-PATTER
It was a sudden downpour. The other five were alright but Chu Mo and Zane weren't lucky.
Chu Mo and Zane were caught by surprise and the feeling of pouring a bucket of water into their heads was something they are currently experiencing.
"Ah! FUCK!!! It really rains!!!"
"What the hell that's cold!!!"
An Yuan ignored the two who were now soaking wet and asked Hei Anjing, "Sir Hei, how did you know it would rain?"
"I'm quite sensitive to the existence of water and ice. Maybe be because of my Bloodline as an Ice Elf," said Hei Anjing, smiling.
The voices of these two babies were too adorable especially now that their expressions show more naturally on their chubby faces. It didn't take a while for the wet dogs... I mean Chu Mo and Zane bought an umbrella from the store. Their clothes and whole body were soaking wet that the raincoat was deemed useless for them.
Chu Mo ignored the wetness on his whole self and asked, "So how would we know which of the children of this town is included in the mission?"
AAHH!!!
He just finished asking when Zane exclaimed pointing from behind them. They heard the sound of rain mixed with a little boy's laughter and running. When they all turned around they saw a little boy in a full-body yellow raincoat chasing after a paper boat coated in wax being drifted by the small current of water going through the paths of the street canal
It wasn't surprising to see boys playing in the rain. Much less play with paper boats. What caught their eyes was the holographic level floating above the boy. It says,
[Target's name: Georgie
Currently on his way to death.
Cause of Death: Creepy Clown]
&123;First Side Mission Target is found. Prevent the death of Georgie.&125;
