Chapter 134

The clown in the mirror was indeed the culprit that caused Wang Quan to swap bodies with Wangyue Lin.

Its ability was more complicated.

First, it had to be triggered.

You had to not care about anything in the world.

Even if it was just a little bit of concern, you had to not care at all.

Then, you had to be in a state of near-death.

As long as the conditions were met, you would be selected as a target.

Wang Quan was stunned. He rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "No wonder …"

If that was the case, he and Wangyue Lin really did meet the conditions.

When he transmigrated, Wangyue Lin was hanging herself.

Regardless of whether she was escaping from reality or something else, she was already on the verge of death, so naturally, she did not care about anything.

Needless to say, Wang Quan.

To this world, he was a complete outsider.

If he had lived for a while, he might have had something to care about, or a little sympathy for the people and animals of this world.

But at the time, he had just transmigrated.

He had no concern for anything in this world.

Since he had no concern, he naturally did not care.

Moreover, it might be related to his transmigration. In any case, he was judged to be in a state of near-death.

Therefore, he also met the conditions.

But he was definitely not reincarnating into another body, because he was very sure that the body he was in was his.

Let's not talk about that for now.

In short, after two targets triggered the conditions, the clown in the mirror's logic would proceed to the next step.

It would allow the two targets to swap bodies, repair the damage, and bring them back from the state of near-death.

Then, it would be a twenty-four-hour body swap.

If they still wanted to die at this time, they would die.

Moreover, in the body swap state, if one of them died, the other would also die.

If neither of them died within twenty-four hours, their bodies would be swapped back.

It would also be twenty-four hours.

Then, the cycle would continue.

The cycle would last for one month.

If both of them still met the conditions of the clown in the mirror within a month, they would be swapped bodies forever.

Then, the clown in the mirror would separate from them to search for other targets.

But there was no way to achieve this.

Because when you didn't want to die, it meant that you had something to worry about, or that you cared about something again.

But then, you wouldn't meet the conditions.

But if you met the conditions, you would still seek death.

This step was a dead end. There might occasionally be people who accidentally avoided it.

But Wang Quan wasn't sure either.

After that, if you had something to worry about or started to care about something again, the next stage would be triggered when the "hope" to continue living was reignited.

At this stage, the clown in the mirror would constantly let out strange, ear-piercing laughter in the surroundings.

At all times, everywhere.

At this time, it would be lurking in the mirror.

If you didn't discover it, your mind would be slowly polluted by this omnipresent laughter until you collapsed and became a lunatic.

If you discovered something strange through the mirror, you would enter the next stage.

At this stage, you would first change into clown makeup.

At the same time, the clown in the mirror would self-harm in front of you.

And the wounds that appeared on its body would also appear on your body.

The injuries would go from light to heavy.

At first, it might just cut the skin on your finger, but it would slowly become cruel.

Until the target died.

Here, it would choose one of two targets.

It would broadcast this process to another target.

When this process was over, the target who was watching would have a funny smile on his face and then die.

At this point, the murderous logic would end.

The clown in the mirror would look for the next two "lucky ones".

"First, it gives hope to those who are in despair, and then personally extinguishes that hope and makes them despair …"

Wang Quan smacked his lips. "This is so disgusting."

As for why he didn't get to watch the livestream …

According to Wangyue Lin's speculation in her notebook, she encountered a bug when she was preparing to take action.

In the end, Wang Quan's body was even more ruthless when he switched back. He committed suicide before the "solo livestream" began.

Or could it be that the two freaks, the clown in the mirror and Miss Mary, bumped into each other and had a conflict?

Maybe that was how the bug came about.

Because the body and soul didn't match, Miss Mary was stuck with the bug.

And because Miss Mary's "backstab" was based on the law of causality, the clown in the mirror was also stuck with the bug when it was about to make its move.

Tsk, should I say that Wangyue Lin was lucky or unlucky …

In short, it was fortunate that she met him.

It was also fortunate that she lasted until her body switched back.

However, the clown in the mirror was obviously not as dangerous as Miss Mary.

It might be as creepy and terrifying as the clown, but the conditions were too harsh.

Plus, there were so many subsequent stages.

In terms of applicability, the two weren't on the same level.

Also, the clown was not as dangerous as Miss Mary.

After all, the target chosen by the clown in the mirror had been suicidal from the start.

This proved that the simpler a trick was, the harder it was to crack it.

If Wang Quan were to give a rating, the clown in the mirror would at most be a B-level.

It could only be a C-level. He gave it an extra mark because his clown makeup was handsome enough.

He could give it a good review.

But then again, if Miss Mary, who hadn't leveled up yet, was of little value, then the clown in the mirror was completely useless if a man wanted to get pregnant.

Similarly, even if Wang Quan could designate a target, it wouldn't make a move if the target didn't meet its conditions.

However, through these two freaks, Wang Quan also figured out some of the characteristics of the freaks.

First, some freaks could be "upgraded".

There were two kinds of "upgrades". One was to widen the range and the other was to relax the triggering conditions.

Secondly, the freaks strictly followed their own rules.

The more complicated the freaks were, the more useless they were. This was because they were harmful and dangerous to Wang Quan.

The simpler the freak, the harder it was to deal with.

According to Wang Quan's speculation, the simpler the freak was, the closer it was to the essence of the rules of this world's mythical creatures.

Therefore, it was stronger.

However, for ordinary humans, it was more or less the same.

Wang Quan made a conclusion.

In this world, there were vengeful spirits and freaks that were harmful to humans.

Freaks couldn't be killed. They didn't have a mind of their own, and they had fixed triggering conditions and killing logic.

However, they would basically die if they encountered one unless they knew the loopholes in the other party's killing logic or knew the triggering conditions to avoid them in advance.

Otherwise, apart from Wang Quan, no one else would be able to deal with freaks.

Even someone as strong as Wang Quan would probably be tortured badly if he didn't die when he encountered such a perverted freak.

Vengeful spirits varied in strength, and they retained part of their thoughts and habits when they were alive.

Once they confirmed that they were seen by someone, they would devour that person.

They could upgrade by devouring living people.

Those who were devoured would lose their "sense of existence".

For example, you actually had a twin brother, but one day, your brother was devoured by a vengeful spirit.

Your whole family would think that everything was normal and that you were the only child in your family.

However, your brother's room and his belongings would still exist.

At this time, it will cause a logical conflict between the understanding of your family of three.

The Public Security Division 6 also handled similar matters on a part-time basis. However, the handling of vengeful spirits would usually be handed over to temples and shrines, as well as other registered spirit controllers.

The police department would be in charge of the aftermath.

There were no triggering conditions for vengeful spirits, and there was no fixed killing routine.

However, vengeful spirits below special-level did not have a great impact on the normal world. Except for people with particularly sharp spiritual senses, ordinary people wouldn't be able to detect them.

Naturally, they wouldn't be devoured by them.

Besides, vengeful spirits could be "killed", purified, or turned into Buddha for expiation … Either way was fine.

At any rate, after dealing with a vengeful spirit, there was a certain chance of obtaining the vengeful spirit's "Obsession Relic."

The stronger the vengeful spirit, the higher the chance of "dropping equipment."

The abilities of an "Obsession Relic" didn't necessarily mean that the stronger the vengeful spirit, the more powerful it would be.

At any rate, there were both consumable and permanent types of "Obsession Relic." At any rate, they all had special abilities and side effects.

Spirit controllers who had spiritual power could use them.

Of course, the more powerful an "Obsession Relic" was, the more powerful its side effects would be.

For example, Ichiro Kenike's "Life Replacement Fan" had the price of temporarily losing his sense of touch.

Besides, that was a consumable type of fan, and there were only a few times it could be used.

Also, it couldn't be used a second time before his sense of touch recovered.

Otherwise, he would be directly "spiritually concealed."

At the same time, if one could discover a vengeful spirit's obsession and help dispel it, the vengeful spirit purified in this way would have a certain chance of becoming a dependent spirit.

That was how Spirit Controllers came to be.

Although vengeful spirits were dangerous, they had many benefits.

Naturally, there would also be all sorts of wild Spirit Controllers and "lively social Spirit Controller groups among the people."

As for their standpoints … they all differed.

Spirit Controllers generally didn't live for long anyway, so there were naturally many unscrupulous ones.

But this had nothing to do with Wang Quan.

As long as they didn't provoke him or stop him from accomplishing his goals, he usually didn't care.

Of course, the act of killing innocent people in front of him was also considered as "provoking him".

Overall, this was Wang Quan's conclusion.

Wang Quan closed his notebook and decided on the next step of his plan.

Since he had already become a "thinking freak" in Ichiro Kenike's eyes, he would take in the freaks that fell into his hands while also being a good "hidden boss."

After all, freaks were related to mythical creatures. If he took in more freaks, he might be able to find a way home.

At the same time, he would go to Wangyue Lin's school to be a teacher so that he could understand the situation of Public Security Lesson 6 through her.

After all, freaks weren't everywhere on the streets. Otherwise, the world would have been finished long ago.

In that case, if he wanted to find freaks, he could only get information from the official organizations.

At the same time, he could also protect Wangyue Lin.

Although he had left a black-red mist on Wangyue Lin to pretend to be "Absolute Defense," sometimes it was impossible to guard against it.

The vengeful spirits did not matter. The black-red mist of "Absolute Defense" was enough to deal with them.

However, if he was not around, Wangyue Lin would basically die if she encountered a freak.

He would not be lucky enough to trigger a bug with two freaks at the same time every time.

After figuring all this out, Wang Quan packed up. He planned to wash up and find a bedroom in the control room of the "Love Nest" to sleep.

Then, he would go to school the next morning to take up his post!

He reckoned that Wangyue Lin's expression would be very interesting when she saw him.

After all, he was a man who knew Wangyue Lin very well.

He even knew where the moles on her buttocks and chest were.
