I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror-Chapter 482 - 448: Heavy Casualties

The sudden death of the team leader left everyone stunned.

How did he die?

’Boom!’

Another team member’s head exploded.

Without any warning, not even an extra movement from the clown, who just bent over, holding his belly and laughing so hard tears came out, without stopping.

"Monster! Demon, demon! I’m going to fight you to the end!"

’Da-da-da-da.....’

The remaining emergency response team members, with rage in their eyes, aimed countless tongues of fire once more at the laughing-mad clown, frantically tilting their ammunition.

"Get out of the way!"

Someone yelled from behind.

Everyone in front lay down.

’Boom!’

Along with the entire ground, a ten-meter radius was completely destroyed by one RPG shell.

It’s over, right...

Everyone gasped heavily, staring straight ahead at the smoke-covered area.

"Hehehe, ahahahaha~"

Familiar manic laughter shattered everyone’s illusions.

’Boom!’

’Boom!’

’Boom!’

Several more team members’ heads exploded!

A rotten eyeball, attached to a piece of rancid flesh, stuck to Qiqi’s face.

Qiqi, already dazed, should have vomited, but endless fear made her even forget the act of "vomiting."

Watching everyone’s terrified expression, the clown seemed very happy, and started dancing once more its grotesque yet funny dance steps.

If this were in some play or circus.

This pure comical clown would certainly have made many people laugh.

But now, this scene only sent chills down one’s spine.

On the floor covered with blood and severed limbs, a funny clown danced elegantly.

Perhaps finding it amusing, or just fun, it seemed no longer interested in playing the head-exploding game.

"Ah! Uh. Ah..."

Accompanying a painful roar, half of an emergency response team member’s body was torn apart by an invisible force.

The organs spilled out like water, releasing a pungent odor.

"Ah!"

Another scream, as a woman’s arm was torn off.

Yes, literally ripped off!

The severed part still had white tendons stretching out.

"Ahh!!!"

The rest of the people collapsed.

They were the finest warriors, supposed to be fearless.

But faced with the grisly death of once-familiar comrades, and Pennywise remaining almost entirely unscathed!

The feeling of powerlessness and despair made them lose any hope of winning.

Their hearts were bleak as if the world were enveloped in horror.

Even an RPG, a powerful personal weapon, was useless!

Qiqi, trembling, turned around, feeling the breath of death on her neck.

"It shouldn’t be..."

Hmm?

The color of the wristband?

Crimson... nearing black, the embedded mineral on its surface had started to crack!

"Emergency team Qi Wei reports, project 135, unable to block Pennywise’s spiritual assault."

This was the last message left by the emergency response team.

...

"Phew..."

A puff of smoke had brewed in his lungs for a long time before it was finally expelled by b2.

Du Lala’s complexion didn’t look very good.

The eight-person squad seemed to have been completely annihilated.

For except for the few cameras that had been destroyed, turning into static screens, all other footage also ceased to move.

There was no sound of breathing, no voices conversing, and simultaneously, the piercing, bizarre laughter of Pennywise also stopped.

"Jiang Xiao, what are your thoughts and conclusions about what just happened?"

’Thud thud thud....’

Jiang Xiao, with his eyes closed, continuously tapped his knuckles on the desk for a long while before opening his eyes.

"It’s not like we came away with nothing."

Oh?

b2 had just asked casually, not expecting that this chosen one really had discerned something.

"I think the footage we saw might not have been real, or maybe after those comrades came out of the corridor, everything that happened could have been fake, nonexistent."

"Because in the end, a member said that Project 135 couldn’t withstand Pennywise’s spiritual assault, so I have reason to suspect that what we saw through the footage, or what the emergency team members personally witnessed, might not have represented the true situation."

b2: .....

That makes sense!

Weren’t those children the stark examples?

Hearing can be deceptive, seeing might not be believing.

Does that mean, the earlier sightings of Pennywise, the conclusions they drew about him.

Could it all actually be the misinformation that Pennywise willingly and actively let them "see"?

After all, those mental patients didn’t even have Project 135; what they saw depended entirely on what Pennywise wanted them to see.

Seeing b2’s face looking as if he had eaten a dead fly, Jiang Xiao kindly consoled.

"Don’t overthink it, I’m just boldly speculating based on a sixth sense. I feel the general direction you guys summarized must be correct, and today’s method of murder by Pennywise also corroborates this. Didn’t you feel that... he seemed angry?"

Angry?

Remembering the clown’s expression and brutal methods, b2’s eyes lit up.

"Yes! Although he likes killing, this level of bloodshed is unprecedented, he must have been furious!"

"Yes, as long as there is an emotional reaction from him, it can be said that you’re probably on the right track."

After pausing, Jiang Xiao pondered a bit and continued.

"I think, Pennywise coming to the school only to find the children evacuated in advance, and having his movements anticipated and surrounded by you...

"Well, personally, I believe Pennywise might not be perfectly resistant to heavy weaponry, but of course, I still need more evidence to prove this point."

"Jiang Xiao, thank you!"

Seeing the surprised face of b2, Du Lala felt a sense of vindication.

"As a psychiatrist, this is what I should do."

Jiang Xiao was increasingly getting used to his identity as a doctor.

The Dragon Country livestream room was speechless.

[Yang Tao shouldn’t really think Jiang is actually a psychiatrist, right?]

[Call her Du Lala, thank you!]

[Crazy? Out there, identity is self-assigned, should Jiang call himself a madman?]

[Uh, isn’t it pretty normal for Jiang, who actually suffers from delusional disorder and schizophrenia, to imagine himself into the role of a doctor?]

The conversation between Jiang Xiao, Du Lala, and b2 was observed by the big shots in another room.

Many people showed appreciation for the performance of this chosen one.

"This young man, daring to guess and speculate, and it seems quite reasonable."

"Heh, us old men and women are way past our prime, can’t compare with these young fellows."

"Specifically, we’ve depended too heavily on science, leading to closed-loop thinking."

"Alas, it’s just a pity about the two emergency teams."

"Qin, you must understand, sacrifice is inevitable, failure isn’t scary, shrinking back is."

...

"Jiang Xiao, you should go back and rest, for convenience, your room is just next door, I’ll handle the situation on site."

b2 was convinced too, the addressal to Jiang Xiao switched from "buddy" to "sir".

Project 135 was their backbone, and now without sufficient strength to combat Pennywise, they could only hope for this chosen one to show some divine prowess.
