Summoning Strange Objects from Anime to Reality

Page 207

"Oh, what a pity, why is the pleasant time so short? Alas, everyone, it's time for this clown to leave the stage."

"Stop right there! Put your hands on your head and squat down! Repeat: Stop right there! Put your hands on your head and squat down!"

"The other party is a vicious and ruthless murderer. If there is any unusual movement, you are allowed to open fire!"

"Surrender! Don't make another mistake!"

The police surrounded the area, each pointing a gun at the brightly dressed clown, and several police inspectors shouted into microphones at him.

"Hey, what do you think will happen to this clown?"

She retreated behind the police's encirclement and whispered to the blind student.

"Four possibilities. First, the clown goes all out and kills everyone, then leaves happily. But this is the least likely possibility. If the clown is that strong, we can just wait to die; it doesn't matter whether we do the mission or not."

"The second possibility is that the Joker's companions have also arrived here. All the Jokers could attack together, either by eliminating all the police here or by letting the Red Joker escape, but that's unlikely."

"The third possibility is that the clown tries to escape from here and gets shot to death by the police."

"The fourth method is how the Joker gracefully left. Based on my experience watching anime, this method should be a smoke bomb that makes people disappear 100% after being thrown out."

Chapter 298 Shadows Under the Darkness

(Why haven't you guys been complaining lately? This is my first time writing a character like the Joker, so tell me if it's good or bad...)

--------

"Why are you so sure that in the fourth possibility, the Joker will make an elegant escape?"

"Hmm? Anyone who dares to say that must be confident! Besides, that's how it is in anime!"

"Oh, steamed goose heart from the Four Dishes."

"Hehe, I'm not even in the position of a three-dimensional woman to talk about this. You're just a useless whiny bastard who can only summon spirits."

The blind student looked at the little girl, who was less than 1.5 meters tall, with disdain, his mockery palpable.

"You! Ughhhhhh, you're driving me crazy! (╬◣д◢)!"

Upon hearing this, Yingyingying immediately bristled and stomped her little foot hard at the blind student, but he dodged it with a skillful movement.

"Stop! Don't move!"

"If you tell me not to move, I'll just stay still. Wouldn't that make me lose face?"

As soon as the blind student said this, even the young police officer next to him turned to look at him.

My goodness, how can a grown man argue with a little kid like that? That's so shameless!

Regardless of the two fooling around here, let's shift our attention to the center.

"Oh~ Oh~, although I am really, really, really happy that so many guests have come here to watch my performance, everyone, it is getting late now. If we don't go to sleep, we won't be able to get up to work tomorrow morning. Especially in this cold weather, I don't want to get out of bed, but I have to force myself to resist the sleepiness and the temptation of the bed. My God, this is really the most painful thing in the world."

That's so relatable.

Although the police officers maintained a serious demeanor on the surface, many of them secretly agreed with the Red Joker's words.

In this kind of weather, getting out of bed first thing in the morning is just too painful!

"Oh, I'm so sorry to have wasted your time. Well then, everyone, that concludes today's performance. See you next time!"

The red clown spread his arms to announce the end of the show, and as he bowed, countless plumes of smoke and confetti shot up from the ground, obscuring his figure.

"I forgot to mention, as one of the lucky audience members who participated in my performance, you will receive a gift. And this gift is a sentence—"

"A deeper shadow lurks within this city!"

The clown's voice gradually faded, and the smoke dissipated, revealing an empty venue and confetti scattered everywhere.

"Damn it, he got away!"

"Hmph, what deep shadows? Just making a big fuss."

"Come with me, he can't have gone far!"

The veteran police officers scoffed at the clown's gift and led the other officers to search the surrounding area.

A police inspector, accompanied by several officers, approached the blind students. After habitually showing his police ID, he addressed the students:

"Gentlemen, and this young man, I know you're eager to get home, but I'm sorry, this matter is rather urgent. We need you all to come with me to the police station to give statements. Please cooperate. Wu Dou, you too, I'll let it slide since you're someone I trained, that you dared to carry a gun after get off work hours. But if there's a next time, you know the consequences."

(Japanese law prohibits police officers from carrying firearms after duty; they must be kept at the police station.)

"Okay, no problem, officer. Cooperating with the police is the duty of every citizen."

The blind student spoke to different people in different ways, and after a while, Inspector Yamamoto's expression softened.

"I know I was wrong, Inspector Yamamoto! Thank you for your magnanimity!"

"Thank you all for your cooperation. Wu Dou, you drive them back to the police station."

"Yes!"

In the car, Yingyingying started a conversation with the blind student sitting in the passenger seat.

"Just as you guessed, that clown escaped with an elegant and glamorous smoke screen. It's just too illogical!"

The blind student remained expressionless, naturally picked up a bottle of mineral water from the car, took a sip, and then calmly made a comment.

"Your own identity is the biggest absurdity, yet you interfere in other people's affairs?"

".......Okay. I admit, you're better at making sarcastic remarks."

As expected, Yingyingying admitted defeat and gave up.

"Once we've finished taking your statements, we'll leave. It's not convenient to talk while we're in the police station. Wu Dou, you'd better take a day off. Tomorrow's a weekend, so we can discuss this in detail at my office... By the way, what's your interpretation of what that clown said at the end?"

"Do you understand...? Well, I don't think it sounded like a deliberately mysterious statement; it was more like a hint."

"My understanding is the same as Wu Dou's."

"I'm about the same as those two."

"Really? I think this clown is deliberately fooling us. Don't forget, we've only seen one clown so far, so whether he's a cross-dresser or there really is a group of clowns, we still don't know. Just from that, we can tell he's very good at fooling people."

However, Yingyingying offered a different interpretation, believing that the clown was just fooling them and making them waste their energy.

"Hehe, while it's good to not follow the crowd, sometimes being too independent isn't good either. Think about it carefully, what were the system's prompts for us when this main quest was released?"

The blind student chuckled and turned to look at Yingyingying.

"I remember, it seems... shadows are always lurking in the darkness?"

She whimpered as she scrolled through the system logs and recited the task prompt given by the system.

"Now you all understand, right? This clue mentions the words 'darkness' and 'shadow,' which sound suspicious right away. And the clown also mentioned the word 'deeper shadow.' That means..."

The blind student deliberately left his words unfinished, dragging out the last syllable as he looked at the crowd.

"So, our target this time isn't the Joker, but someone or something lurking in the shadows, right?"

Rosen stated his conclusion directly, which made the blind student look at him with admiration.

"That's right. And next, we just need to find a tiny clue in that shadow, and main quest 2 will be over. I don't really like that crazy clown, but honestly, that guy could be a potential teammate. By the way, anyone want some water?"

Chapter 299 Seminar

(It's been several weeks, and my cold still hasn't gotten better...)

(After looking at the posts, I realized that the shadow I was referring to isn't the actual object as commonly understood, but rather something else entirely...)

(Also, this Hearthstone nerf has practically killed Druid... Oh well, the ladder is going to be dominated by Hunters again.)

--------

"Damn it, if I wear this mask too much, I'm really going to turn into a clown! Although part of what happened just now was intentional, that fancy aerial spin just now... sigh, oh well, I'm a psychologist after all, I can just adjust myself."

Back in his bedroom, Tsukishiro Domyouji washed his face, did some exercises, and then crawled into bed.

Shivering... It's so cold...

To be honest, I can't even handle the killer clown I chose. If I had chosen the chaos clown, I'm afraid I would have really turned into a crazy person who laughs all day long...

Never mind, I'm going to sleep. It's the weekend anyway, I'll just sleep until I naturally wake up...

zzzzzzz.......

Wake up feeling refreshed.

When I checked the time, the bonus was gone.

Okay, it's Saturday, no need to work.

After washing up, Tsukishiro Michimitsu leisurely walked to the dining table, took out the breakfast from the microwave, and ate while reading the newspaper.

Shocking! The poker killer strikes again; police mobilize but find nothing!

The Ministry of Shock and Shock needs you, my friend.

But the name "Poker Killer" is so lame. I don't only use playing cards, really.

Tsukimori Michimitsu, engrossed in flipping through the newspaper, failed to notice Tsukimori Haruto's hesitant expression.

Tsukishiro Michimitsu has a habit of going for walks in the evenings. He goes out at night to enjoy the city's night view.

Although he claimed to be admiring the night view, he was actually there to admire "people".

During the day, because of work, colleagues, and various other reasons, everyone restrains their true nature.

But at night, they mostly release their stress and vent it out.

Drunkards in izakayas, young people partying in bars, students screaming and howling in karaoke, lecherous "customers" in nightclubs, delinquents venting their violence in alleyways, homeless people rummaging through trash cans while cursing...

Yes, this is the "truth," this is our true nature!

While one can glimpse a more authentic nature in the small rooms of some hotels, Tsukishiro Doman is a law-abiding citizen. How could he do something that violates the law?

I'm just an ordinary psychologist!

Sometimes, he would go into these places, order something, and get closer to these people to better observe their behavior.

Oh, by the way, although I'm a little embarrassed, I'm still a virgin.

It has to be said that this can be considered a kind of quirk, but he enjoys it immensely.

He is Tsukimori Doman, also known as the pseudonym of Tsukimori Doman, but he only possesses the personality and preferences of "Tsukimori Doman".

However, Tsukimori Haruto was very worried that his son was still going out every day at a time when such a serial killer was appearing.

Even though my brother exercises every day, it would still be very dangerous if he encountered a serial killer!

Sigh, I'll try to persuade him again tonight.

"Oh, right, I have a psychology seminar to attend this afternoon, so I'll leave after lunch. I won't be back for dinner tonight, and I might not even be back to sleep. Please make sure to lock the doors and windows; things have been a bit unsettled lately."

Just as Tsukimori Haruto was lost in thought, Tsukimori Michimitsu's sudden remark interrupted his train of thought.

"Okay, I get it now."

"Ah."

For a moment, the only sound on the dining table was the rustling of newspapers being turned.

"Ah~, good morning, Onii-chan."

Yue Shoulian walked downstairs, still sleepy-eyed, clearly having just woken up.

Good morning, Lian.

"Well, good morning."

The first person to greet me was Tsukishiro Haruto.

"What's for breakfast?"

"Toast and a fried egg, strawberry jam or apple jam?"

Strawberry jam!

Yue Shoulian immediately chose strawberry jam.
