Chapter 172 [Clown Contact Lens] (Grade C)
Pei Hening watched them walk away. She could have taken the opportunity to leave, but she hesitated for a moment when she thought of the familiar male voice in the room.
She wanted to wait for the remaining people in the room to come out so she could confirm his identity.
The voice sounded familiar, but she had no idea who it belonged to...
"Da da... da..."
The sound of messy, heavy footsteps gradually became clearer, and the person opened the door and came out.
At the same time, the aggressive, bloody smell entered Pei Hening's nasal cavity.
She frowned. Could the source of the bloody smell be this 'gentleman'?
Pei Hening peeked through the slightly ajar door and was shocked by what she saw.
A man covered in blood staggered out, leaving a deep trail of blood on the ground.
Pei Hening noticed the man's appearance, which was described as, "I can bury you in money."
He leaned against the wall with one hand and held a small box with white ivory in the other.
[I can bury you in money] staggered two steps and then fell straight to the ground!
"thump--"
The dull, loud thud as someone fell to the ground caught Pei Hening's attention. She took out [Unnecessary Explanation], put it on, and looked at [I Can Kill You with Money], who was lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
[Clown Contact Lens] (Grade C): Meet me in the eye, and we'll fall into the abyss together. After wearing, there is a 95% chance of playing the designated role; no cooldown. (Note: Wearing for more than one hour increases the chance of mutation or loss of control by 8%.)
(Huh? The clown contact lenses are here?)
(This guy's lucky, but he's about to die. Let's wait until he stops breathing and then loot his body. What do you think of my suggestion?)
(What does your silence mean? Do you disagree?)
(Indeed, the most outstanding products of the Magic Era are Gao Gao and Leng Leng.)
Pei Hening: "..."
She guessed that [the extra explanation] meant to say that it's lonely at the top?
But this word isn't used like that...
Her expression toward "[I'll bury you in money]" was somewhat complicated. Just as she was hesitating whether to help, she heard someone coming this way.
There was no time for her to hesitate. She quickly walked over, picked up the "[I'll bury you in money]" and stuffed it into the storage room. She took out a light blue potion, unscrewed it, and poured one-tenth of it onto the ground. The smell of blood in the air disappeared.
This is a potion she mixed according to the ideas given by Chu Xuange. She originally wanted to make a fragrance enhancer, but she accidentally made an air freshener—a potion version. She thought it was useless, so she made it into a card and put it in her card album. She never expected to use it here.
She also hid in the storage room, frowned, took out a bottle of intermediate-level healing potion, and poured it into [I'll bury you in money] to barely keep him alive.
After doing all this, she glanced at the [clown contact lenses] he was clutching tightly.
Once [I'll bury you in money] wakes up, she'll ask him for [Clown Contact Lenses]. He'll probably give them to her, right?
"Where did that person go? He was shot so many times, he probably won't survive."
"You didn't find it on the left, and you didn't find it on your side either?"
"No..."
Both of them were filled with doubt as they talked.
The next second, a sharp and piercing alarm suddenly sounded.
"Who triggered the alarm? Emergency assembly!"
Hearing their anxious footsteps as they left, Pei Hening didn't feel relieved; instead, she became even more cautious.
"hiss--"
A soft cry of pain came from the ground. Pei Hening whispered, "Quiet."
[I could bury you in money] He looked up warily, and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her face clearly.
After relaxing his guard a little, he felt the pain in his body.
"You saved me?"
Pei Hening nodded, pointed to the [clown contact lenses] he was holding, and said bluntly, "I want these."
[I could bury you in money] He tossed her the ivory box and said, "Be aware of the usage restrictions."
Thanks.
After thanking him, Pei Hening asked, "Who arrested you? Did you find the victim's head?"
[I'll bury you in money] said with a bitter face: "I don't know. I followed two strange guys to the basement and then they chased and grabbed me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the OOC (out-of-character) warning in his mind. He forced a smile and gave Pei Hening a flirtatious wink.
Pei Hening: "...I think Field is right. You should go see an eye doctor. If you don't have money to call a doctor, I can call one for you for free."
[I can bury you in money]: "..."
Damn it!
What a disgusting character design!
He ruined his lifelong reputation!
Pei Hening tossed him two more bottles of intermediate-level potions, then pushed open the door and walked out, saying, "I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself."
"Okay... don't miss me too much."
Hearing his reluctant words, Pei Hening got goosebumps and left even faster.
[I can bury you in money] Leaning against the wall, seeing her avoidance as if she were a snake or a scorpion, he poured the medicine down her throat, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
While playing the role of 'Mr.', he saw a man wearing a clown mask capture a big spender and lock him in a special attraction called the Death Wheel.
He gripped the medicine bottle tightly, silently recovering his strength.
The death rate in this instance is definitely higher than in other instances; he must get out alive.
He secretly rejoiced that Xiaoyu wasn't in the instance.
——
Pei Hening put the [Clown Contact Lens] into her card album. She wanted to investigate the backstage, but she ran into Anna and her bodyguard who had come to help her.
Anna pulled Pei Hening out, muttering, "Cui Bisi! Can you please stop acting on your own every time!"
Pei Hening glanced backstage with regret, feeling a bit cheated.
"I haven't left Dawn Casino, what are you worried about?"
Anna laughed in exasperation: "What are you worried about? Of course, I'm worried you'll run into the murderer!"
"Two murders just happened at Dawn Casino, three people died. Where did you get the nerve to run around like that?"
She got so angry with herself that she took out her phone and called Blanche.
Pei Hening snatched her phone and hung up.
"Blanche is so busy, why are you calling her? She has no say in my affairs!"
Anna: "It's within our control. Mayor Blanche will contact your parents to cancel your card."
Pei Hening:...I really can manage it.
She put Anna's phone in her pocket and pretended nothing had happened: "Let's go back, I'm tired."
When the three of them came out from backstage, they heard the alarm sound again.
Pei Hening asked in confusion, "An alarm at Dawn Casino? What happened?"
Anna shook her head: "No, this is an alarm from the Happy Circus. Let's go back first."
The bodyguards followed closely behind them, and Pei Hening glanced back at the backstage entrance.
Then I saw a person wearing light blue clothes open the door and try to rush out from backstage, but someone grabbed their shoulder and dragged them back.
Pei Hening turned and ran backstage, but Anna quickly grabbed her, her voice weary, and said, "Tribis, it's really time to go back!"
