Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 366 Pennywise's Methods
Wen Lie shrugged. "Why should I become stronger if I'm always worried about so many things? Not to mention that this test is about our minds. If you're so hesitant, won't you just be giving Pennywise a loophole in your mind?"

Zhao Yingkong rolled his Sharingan and said unhappily, "Reckless man... people with simple minds really have it easy."

If a person can control his thoughts, then... Chu Xuan?
Zhao Yingkong suddenly thought of the rational monster of the Zhongzhou team and subconsciously looked towards Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan had no expression on his face and just kept playing with the Donghuang Bell.

Wen Lie asked, "Hey, do you know why boxing is divided into heavyweight and lightweight?"

Ben shook his head.

"Because with the same skills, being one weight class bigger means you'll be crushed. Go practice boxing. With your physique, as long as you master the basic boxing techniques and develop the courage to fight, those bad boys won't be able to bully you."

Wen Lie patted Ben's shoulder. Ben's stomach trembled. Although he didn't dare to respond, he showed a thoughtful expression and listened to Wen Lie's advice.

"Okay, let's go, we still have things to do."

Wen Lie gently pushed Ben, and Ben, holding the book in his arms, staggered away quickly.

Zheng Zha looked at Ben's departing back and asked, "What should we do next? We've ruined the plot. Ben didn't meet Billy and Eddie, so the Losers Club can't be formed. If those kids don't get together, we won't be able to protect so many people at once."

"I can. I don't need to rest. My super vision allows me to monitor Derry Town at all times. If they are in danger, I will rush over immediately. As for the rest, whether they can get to know each other or overcome their fear depends on themselves. By the way, Eddie's asthma inhaler is running out. Who of you will go and brush his face?"

Wen Lie glanced at the forest in the distance. There was a very shallow river where Billy and Eddie were building a dam.

The asthma inhaler that Eddie carried with him was empty. The child had asthma, and if he didn't get the inhaler in time, it would be a big problem.

Zheng Zha asked, "What about you?"

"I'm going to the sewers to meet Pennywise and teach him a lesson."

Wen Lie narrowed his eyes and looked at the ground, which even he could not see through.

His nonchalant tone also made Zheng Zha and others feel a little more relaxed.

The Zhongzhou team split into two groups. Zheng Zha and his team went to contact the other two of the seven protagonists, while Wen Lie went to the fields behind the forest.

In the middle of the field, there is an abandoned building that leads to the underground of Derry Town.

Wen Lie did not violently break up the ground of Delhi Town, but entered the underground of the town through the sewer here.

The sewers are dark and gloomy, the water is dirty and smelly, and there is
Smell of sewage and feces.

There were also animal carcasses floating by, including rats, dead cats, and an animal that might be a groundhog. The carcasses had swollen up and were emitting a strong stench, adding a sense of horror to the underground environment.

There seemed to be a crack in the sewer above his head, or there seemed to be accumulated water vapor. The dirty sewage gathered into drops and fell in front of Wen Lie.

Just a few millimeters away, it would have dripped onto Wen Lie's body.

Wen Lie looked calm and walked calmly in the narrow sewer.

Every time he took a step forward, a light appeared. The golden light was gentle and violent. In the area covered by the light, the stench of corpses and feces disappeared, and the carcasses of animals were burned to ashes.

However, the light emanating from Wen Lie could only illuminate the space of a few meters nearby, while the farther away it was still dark.

Wen Lie's footsteps spread, echoing and amplifying in the darkness. Faintly, one could hear something rustling, someone whispering, gurgling sounds, and strange tinkling sounds.

Something was watching him.

Wen Lie walked on the surface of the sewer, and the darkness around him gave him this feeling.

It wasn't an illusion, Pennywise, or anything else, the death ray was staring at him through a pair of eyes.

Wen Lie is well aware of this.

Fight your fear, he kept saying.

However, what he said was not only a warning to Zheng Zha and the others, but also a warning to himself.

Death Ray is obviously stronger than him, and Pennywise is no weaker than him, but he cannot be afraid of Death Ray, nor can he waver in any way. Once he wavers, the Central Plains team will be finished.

"Da da da……"

Wen Lie walked around the intersection, the light extended forward, and a bluish smile appeared in front of him.

It was a corpse, that of a boy who looked to be around fifteen years old, leaning against the wall of the sewer.

The bloated corpse, with most of it eaten by rats, grinned at him with a terrifying face.

Wen Lie's expression remained unchanged as he continued forward, walking past the corpse. Flames started from the corpse, and within a few breaths, the corpse was burned to ashes.

A moment later, a long and narrow corridor appeared in front of Wen Lie.

The corridor sloped downward, and the entrance was hung with loose spider webs, some of which were broken by water and hung like decorations.

Wen Lie blew a breath, burned all the spider webs, and strode into the corridor.

The moment he stepped in, Wen Lie felt a static-like stimulation. Deep in the dark corridor, an eye was looking at Wen Lie.

A massive eye filled the tunnel, its glassy black pupil over half a meter wide, its iris murky and yellow, the color of dead leaves. The white of its eye was swollen and cataractous, streaked with pulsating bloodshot veins. It had no lids or eyelashes, like a mass of disgusting gelatinous matter wriggling amidst a dense web of tentacles.

The huge eyes stared at Wen Lie, with frank malice flashing in their eyes.

"Hello, dear, it's been a long time since I've had any grown-up visitors."

Suddenly, the giant eye disappeared, and a clown holding a balloon appeared in front of Wen Lie. He opened his mouth wide and showed a funny smile.

White makeup, a ridiculous tuft of red hair on each side of her bald head, a big clown smile painted around her mouth, and sparkling blue eyes.

He wore a baggy silk shirt with big orange buttons, a bright blue tie hanging down his chest, and large white gloves on his hands, just like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

This is indeed a qualified clown, with funny and ridiculous outfit, and can be put into use directly in the amusement park on the ground.

Unfortunately, the more comical such clowns appear underground, the more eerie and terrifying they exude.

"So, what are you going to do with me, Pennywise?"

Wen Lie smiled with a forced smile.

Even though he had overcome his inner demons, Wen Lie found that his heart was still disturbed when facing Pennywise.

It is indeed not that easy to deal with. Even the 2A-level sand enhancement can have a mental impact on Zheng Zha who has overcome his inner demons, not to mention that this monster is at least a high-level saint.

"Please come in, guest. I have prepared a gift for you."

Pennywise bent down with too much force, stretched his arms toward the cave behind him, and made an invitation gesture to Wen Lie.

What did Pennywise have in store for him? What horror could penetrate the cracks in his heart?

Wen Lie walked over while thinking.

He couldn't retreat, nor could he punch directly, because that meant he was afraid. He had to face Pennywise's test head-on, and then tear Pennywise's terror apart with a sneer, leaving Pennywise helpless.

Pennywise was bent over the whole time, and Wen Lie walked past him without moving. He walked past Pennywise and stepped into the exit of the corridor. Suddenly, the front became brighter.

It was like suddenly turning on a light bulb switch, and a very natural light illuminated Wen Lie's front, and a familiar scene appeared in front of Wen Lie.

Wen Lie stopped.

"What I have prepared for you is the past."

At the entrance of the corridor, Pennywise straightened up, looking at Wen Lie's back with his blue eyes, revealing extreme malice and interest.

Something new has happened.

For the first time in a long time, something new was happening.

Before the birth of the universe, there were only two things, one was it and the other was the turtle.

The turtle was old and stupid, and never came out of its shell. It thought the turtle might be dead, dead a billion years or so. Even if it wasn't, it would still be old and stupid. Even if the turtle vomited up the entire universe, it wouldn't change the fact that it was stupid.

Long after the tortoise retreated into its shell, it finally arrived here, on Earth. It discovered a depth of imagination here that was almost unprecedented, almost paramount. This imagination provided it with abundant food, allowing it to live a life of waking to eat, eating to sleep, and finally falling asleep.

It had fashioned a place in its own image and watched over it with a gaze as loving as that of a dead fire. Delhi was its slaughterhouse, the people of Delhi its lambs, and so it went on.

Until these people showed up.

Humans who come from outside the universe and outside the dimension are outsiders just like it.

They would not have had any intersection. Although it was an outsider, it had no interest in grown-up humans. Its staple food was children's fear.

However, these outsiders arrived in Delhi Town, and the being that sent them here gave them a task - to prevent it from eating.

It created a new emotion – anger.

Not only because these outsiders will interrupt its feeding, but also because of the memories of these outsiders.

It will die, and the food will muster up the courage to defeat it. It seems that the turtle that vomited out the universe is involved.

It cannot be judged because there are different versions of the story about it and food in the memories of outsiders.

It doesn't want to judge, and it has no intention of hesitating about things that have not happened yet. It only wants to do one thing, which is to send those who come to hinder it into its deadly eyes one by one.

Yes, it would make them scream and go crazy, and send them into a death ray.

And this man named Wen Lie, who felt that he had no fear and would not be shaken by it, and who had broken through the so-called inner demon, was the first person it wanted to defeat.

It knew what he feared.

The hot air hit Wen Lie's face.

This is not a sewer climate, but a desert environment.

"here……"

Wen Lie raised his head and saw that the place in front of him was no longer the narrow space of the sewer, but Cairo, the Cairo Museum.

"arrive."

The person in front spoke.

Zheng Zha turned around and smiled at Wen Lie with an expectant expression on his face.

Zhao Yingkong's figure flashed from the front and entered the museum.

"Pennywise, what do you want to do?"

Wen Lie frowned and clenched his fists, but he could not feel his own powerful strength. The power that could raze Egypt to the ground with just one punch disappeared.

However, he could feel the light of his own soul.

Although it is a little blurry, within reach but like trying to catch the moon in the water, it does exist.

If what he saw was an illusion created by Pennywise, it would be meaningless. The light of his mind that had been lit would not let him be deceived by the illusion.

"What are you talking about? Come on, aren't we going treasure hunting? I wonder what treasures the Cairo Museum might have."

Zheng Zha was confused by Wen Lie's reaction. He shouted to Wen Lie and walked towards the gate of the Cairo Museum.

Wen Lie looked back and saw the streets of Cairo behind him. The pedestrians, shops, sky and scenery were all the same as he remembered, but also a little different.

Because by this time, he had already entered the museum and had no idea what was happening outside.

Did Pennywise create an illusion?

Wen Lie felt as if his mind was covered with a layer of mist. He could remember everything, but when he tried to think deeply, he felt that his spirituality was hindered. It was like he was dreaming. He felt that he was awake but unable to think freely.

"Wen Lie, hurry up, aren't you coming over?"

Zheng Zha, who was in the museum, seemed to be worried that Wen Lie didn't catch up, so he walked out again and greeted Wen Lie.

"coming."

Wen Lie responded casually and walked towards Zheng Zha.

After entering the museum, the three of them came to the door of the museum's warehouse after a brief search.

Zheng Zha broke the door lock with his bare hands, pushed open the heavy iron door, and everyone walked in together.

The museum's warehouse remained the same as before, just as Wen Lie remembered. The spacious room was neatly arranged with shelves and boxes, containing statues, ivory canes, stone slabs, portraits...all kinds of Egyptian antiquities.

Zheng Zha and Zhao Yingkong rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, almost turning the warehouse upside down.

But, nothing happened.

"No, Wen Lie, what are you looking for?"

In the messy warehouse, Zheng Zha dusted himself off and asked Wen Lie, who was standing aside and watching coldly.

Zhao Yingkong also frowned and looked at Wen Lie coldly.

"No... God Anubis."

Wen Lie was stunned.

Is this where Pennywise wants to start?
But he clearly remembered that he had obtained the god Anubis. It was because of the god Anubis that he survived the horror movie "The Mummy". Although this important memory had disappeared several times due to the use of the holy artifact, it still existed in his brain, and Pennywise could not hide this memory.

Zheng Zha complained, "Anubis? Why is Anubis in a museum warehouse? Are you stupid?"

Wen Lie said calmly, "It's not the real Anubis, but a Stand named Anubis from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I saw Dio's mansion in Cairo before, so I guess there might be that Stand Sword there, but if not, it's nothing."
