The Gentleman at the End-Chapter 751 - 749

Act Two. Night of Terror

[Audience Perspective]

Audiences wearing the Theater Viewing Skull could watch any area of the mansion according to their own needs. However, there was a mandatory requirement here.

Once a terrifying event or a conflict between actors broke out, the camera would compulsorily switch to it.

Just ten minutes ago, the audiences’ cameras were switched to the study of the mansion’s master, Leidun Bell, because a conflict between characters had occurred here.

Aside from the ordinary audiences watching the play,

William, the host, as well as Lorrian, who was previously in charge of modifying the audience, the Dentist, and Reagan were also paying attention to the performance from the corner,

even William particularly distributed several Theater Viewing Skulls to Lu Pu,

Duke’s Chamber of Commerce, and the three major logistics companies could watch the play from offsite.

The conflict in the study instantly evoked the audiences’ fear, and most of them had a portion of their fear value extracted, even lingering in their minds were those bloody scenes and that terrifying smile.

Redundant Intestine Company’s various department heads and the president buried deep underground were all stunned.

"Bablo Zhi Chang" was an excellent external event handler for their company, similar to Horror Circus’s Division J, specializing in handling some shady affairs.

They had expected Bablo to shine during the performance and seize this opportunity to advertise for Redundant Intestine Company. To their surprise, Bablo, the manager, was killed right at the start,

And it was a complete slaughter, even for the offsite viewers, unaffected by the fear extraction and the theater’s atmosphere, it still felt uncomfortable.

Especially when witnessing the murderer’s final ’action’ during the killing spree, they couldn’t help but get goosebumps.

William, the host, clenched his fists tightly, and Black Hairs on the right eye temporarily constructed with "Little Grape" were strained. Clearly, the situation had somewhat exceeded his expectations.

"How exaggerated... I wonder if Mr. Yi can handle it?"

...

[Bell Mansion. Act Two in Progress]

Nash’s head popped out from the collar, staring at the room hung with intestines and the aura lingering in the air, he could almost confirm that the deceased was Bablo Zhi Chang, the manager of the Redundant Intestine Company.

Looking at such a messy scene, a flash of insight passed through Nash’s head, and his expression immediately became twisted.

"Second boss, this is bad!

Our actions have been completely disrupted, not only did we fail to kill the ’master’ to complete the script’s requirement and win the corresponding safety time, but because we are here, and due to the conflict at the dinner earlier, you, the second boss, will become the primary suspect.

Not to mention, we also happened to bump into a police officer on the way here.

Once the news of the master’s death is spread, we will fall completely into passivity and might even be restricted.

What should we do! Shall we call the fiancé to come and handle the scene now, pretend that the master has disappeared..."

Nash’s head, drooping on his shoulder, was frantically worried,

but Yi Chen maintained no hint of panic; he continued performing as the eldest daughter, Jennifer, facing the scene of his father being slaughtered yet remained unusually calm, even slightly sighing, lamenting that he didn’t kill him with his own hands.

According to the character card settings, after Jennifer ran away from home, due to her slim figure and beautiful looks, she encountered human trafficking.

Jennifer was sold to a tribe, managed to escape several times accidentally stepping on a trap in the jungle, fell into the tribe’s Gu Worm Room, her lower body being eaten away, but her own family’s bloodline allowed her to survive and sign a contract with the Gu worm, becoming what she is now.

Also, because of such experiences, the horrific condition in the study seemed relatively unfazed.

Yi Chen carefully stepped in areas without blood stains, meticulously observing everything here, checking each hanging intestine and examining the master’s body again, ensuring no detail was overlooked.

"Second boss, shall we go back to the room now and pretend we never came out! Force the fiancé to vouch for us... even if that police officer says he saw us, we can argue that someone was impersonating us."

"Shush!"

Yi Chen merely placed his index finger at his lips, signaling Nash to be silent and not to disturb his analysis.

Nash was quite obedient, immediately shutting up, even sewing his mouth shut with tendrils, quietly watching the second boss’s performance.

Yi Chen was best at killing, and facing the murder scene in front of him was no different from being at home.

"Not only did he kill a Silver Circle patient with considerable strength in a short time, but he also carefully cleaned up the scene, erasing most of the clues that could have been used to reconstruct the events.

Now, it can only be confirmed that these intestines were hung up after the fact, seemingly to deliberately remind us of the victim’s identity.

The cause of the victim’s death was also concealed by multiple methods, the body was reassembled, having previously been dismembered to a block-like extent, the death was very gruesome.

The opponent’s method of killing was very sophisticated, and the purpose, just like you said, Nash, was to make the eldest daughter role I play take the blame, thus completely falling into passivity."

The probability of someone capable of this ’murder’ is the Chief Clown, but there are still many mysteries. Once I choose to leave this room, once the old master’s death is made public, as the prime suspect, I will fall into complete passivity.

Truly impressive, worthy of being the circus’s chief."

Such a big move right from the start, it seems like Art is planning to overshadow others, using this performance to become the main character, and eclipse William, the director’s brilliance."

Nash was stunned by this analysis, "Ah! I knew it, letting Art participate was definitely a bad idea. Second boss, what should we do?"

"Since leaving here will make us passive, we won’t leave... following the story told by William, let’s dig deeper."

Yi Chen stopped examining the body and began inspecting this special [Study].

As the possessor of the Bell Manor,

spending most of his time in the study, there must be something fishy here.

Yi Chen’s guess was not wrong, soon he discovered a hidden switch nestled between the third row of bookcases, and this switch could not even be activated by ordinary people.

The ’switch’ was embedded in the wall in a funnel shape, appearing to require something to be inserted or poured into.

Yi Chen tiptoed, raised his nostrils to the funnel mouth, and sniffed... After confirming the residual smell of blood inside, he immediately collected the overflowing blood of the master of the house from the floor and poured it in.

Click!

With the sound of the mechanism echoing, a secret passage leading to the lower end of the mansion appeared, and waves of a dangerous aura also spilled out from below.

"Could that thing be down there!?"

"According to the setup, whether that thing will come looking for us only relates to the ’danger level.’ Unless William wants to eliminate me using the performance, it should be safe down there.

Next, we’ll head down to explore the family secrets, temporarily pretend to be [missing],

and observe quietly to see just what the so-called Chief Clown can do."

After cleaning up the traces at the scene, Yi Chen proceeded down the staircase of the secret passage to the mansion’s underground area.

...

Meanwhile,

in the corridor of the mansion’s lobby,

the middle-aged police officer who had encountered Yi Chen earlier stood at the corner, a cigarette in his mouth, and plenty of cigarette butts underfoot, clearly he had been waiting for a long time.

After finishing the cigarette in his hand, finding no sign of the eldest daughter Jennifer coming out, his lips curled slightly,

"Clever... a troublesome character.

Let’s play with other actors first, quite interesting."

As the middle-aged officer ascended the staircase, he suddenly caught a whiff of a strange, dangerous scent not belonging to a patient, even causing his skin to swell and crawl.

His current position was at the staircase entrance on the second floor; abruptly, he turned his head to look towards the end of the second-floor corridor.

A long-haired woman, her face covered, was standing there, also wearing a mask.

The officer wasn’t afraid, instead, he became excited, revealing a mouthful of disgusting yellow teeth,

"Oh? Is this the thing encountered after the ’danger level’ increases... What exactly has William gone through to get such an interesting malignant product!"
