I, a Mental Patient, Was Chosen to Participate in AnalogHorror-Chapter 489 - 455: Forgotten

"So... the book says that only through constant experimentation can the truth be tested."

The clown felt a blur before his eyes.

Not good!

"Slap!"

Another slap.

"Now you should believe it, right? I, like you, also possess this quick movement ability."

"Shit..."

"Did you just curse at me?"

"No!"

Watching the man disappear once again, the clown covered his right cheek in horror.

"Idiot, who said I only slap your right cheek?"

Huh?

"Slap!"

Ah, this time it was the left cheek...

"No, no, no, stop it! I need to sort out my thoughts, this is all too awful."

"That’s wrong?" Jiang Xiao’s expression turned ugly: "So only the Lingbo microblog you use is correct, and mine is wrong?"

Watching Jiang Xiao suddenly disappear again, the clown could only helplessly cover his swollen cheeks, looking around the environment with trepidation and uncertainty.

Good news: Now he definitely couldn’t slap his own face anymore.

Good news: The means of attack weren’t limited to just punches and kicks.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiao didn’t intend to solve problems with violence, because the book said that reason would prevail.

"Ptui~tui!"

Along with the sound that made the clown’s heart shudder, a warm... and even a bit smelly gob of phlegm landed on his forehead.

"The water of truth, how about it, tastes great, doesn’t it?"

The Clown: ...

He felt insulted and wanted to slap back with all his might...

But he worried that this pervert before him might lick his palm...

After some deliberation, accompanied by a furious roar, the clown vanished once more.

Watching his departure, Jiang Xiao felt a bit of regret; he had finally met a kindred spirit and wanted to have a good exchange.

"Jiang Xiao! What the hell were you doing just now!"

Huh?

Jiang Xiao turned around curiously to find that Yu Tianci and a bunch of mental patients were all staring at him weirdly.

Hmm, the warden had once again lost his zombie COS outfit.

"Alas, I met a kindred soul. We clicked right away and appreciated each other, and I could tell he admired me a lot. I just didn’t expect him to leave in such a hurry..."

What is he talking about?

Warden Yu didn’t ask further, as he was accustomed to the kid’s nonsense, casually playing along, fearing that the kid was trying to hypnotize him again.

"Waah waah waah..."

Accompanied by several cries, several unmarked, entirely black vehicles stopped at the entrance of Qingshan Fourth Hospital.

Twelve mysterious individuals in grey clothes and hats alighted swiftly and took control of everyone, including Yu Tianci.

...

"Name."

"Yu Tianci."

"Gender."

"Male."

"Repeat what you just experienced."

"I..."

Yu Tianci frowned, not because he didn’t want to speak, but because he didn’t know how to describe it.

At the same time, it felt like he had just had a dream, and now the content of that dream was quickly slipping from his memory.

"I saw... some very strange visuals that I can’t describe in words, but I won’t deny that I was absolutely terrified at the time..."

"Visuals? Were they terrifying?"

"No, it wasn’t that the images were horrific, nor was it... it was that the images made me feel horror. Anyway, I really don’t know how to express it. That feeling seems to have escaped the realm of understanding through words..."

Yu Tianci apologetically smiled at the gray-clothed squad in front of him; he had tried his best to describe his experience.

The emergency response team subconsciously nodded in agreement. Right, this was the normal reaction to encountering Pennywise.

...

"Name."

"Liu Er."

"Gender."

"Male... I guess?"

"Repeat the images you saw at that time."

The man in blue and white stripes scratched the back of his head, not understanding why he had to answer twice.

"I saw the devil, he had three faces, you know? It’s like... ugh, I feel like no matter which way you look, you can’t escape the devil’s judgment."

...

"Name."

"Jiang Xiao."

"Gender."

"Female."

"Huh?"

"Still huh? You’re not blind, are you?"

"Impudent! Stop your smart mouth!"

"You stop yelling at me too!"

It was a round of... oh no, it was a full six times of questioning.

At the same time, the emergency team also remotely connected with psychologists and top criminal investigation experts to disrupt the order of the questions and repeat them, eventually confirming that this young man was indeed telling the truth.

Although they had a myriad of doubts, they were professionals after all. They promptly left after confirming that no one in the Spirit Mental Institution had contracted the Pennywise infection.

Weird Research Institute.

Looking at the information in front of them, some experts’ expressions went from calm to puzzled, and finally to shocked.

"Sheesh, the testimonials from these mental patients don’t seem problematic, but are Yu Tianci and this Jiang Xiao really not bluffing?"

"I know Director Yu; he’s not likely to lie. Plus, as a psychiatric expert, he might naturally have higher resistance to contamination."

"Okay, I can accept that. After all, what Director Yu saw, although abnormal, at least produced the same effect: they all felt the fear that Pennywise brought to them. But what’s the deal with this Jiang Xiao?"

Everyone fell silent.

Saw a funny clown?

What others saw were either demons, monsters, or the things they least wanted to face within their hearts.

In short, everyone saw the manifestation of their own inner fears.

You saw a clown, a funny clown no less, what’s that about?

"Just the other night, didn’t those two lost emergency response teams also say they saw a clown figure?"

"Right, wasn’t there a survivor from the two teams the other day, Qi Wei? Where is she?"

"Not doing too well, still unconscious. The only consolation is that she hasn’t shown signs of delusional language."

"Comrades, according to the records, he not only saw a clown but also spat at the clown four times and hurled a thick, yellow loogie..."

"Is there a possibility he’s lying?"

"It was Old Li and Xiao Zhang questioning remotely; how twisted must one’s mental state be to go through their joint six rounds of questioning with reordered sequences and not reveal a single flaw?"

The crowd fell silent, but soon they resumed their discussion.

Why?

Jiang Xiao should have known that the clown he saw was Pennywise, so why didn’t he recognize it?

Du Lala and B2, carrying the experts’ doubts, sought out the person in question.

As for Jiang Xiao, he was also puzzled.

Indeed, the funny clown he saw was definitely Pennywise; there was no doubt about that.

But without Du Lala’s reminder, he had absolutely no awareness or thought about it.

It seemed... it seemed like everything about Pennywise had been subconsciously forgotten by him.

"Strange..."
