At the same time, I traveled through time and space, I dominated the heavens and the worlds
Chapter 590: Clown Soul
Lin Bei was somewhat surprised to hear Dr. Serizawa say that.
In the original storyline, Dr. Serizawa didn't have this problem.
However, after thinking about it again, Lin Bei felt that it made sense.
After all, in the original storyline, Godzilla defeated all the monsters one by one, making them acknowledge Godzilla's status.
But now, because of his interference, Godzilla only defeated Rodan, and didn't even touch the others.
If I had to say, he changed the course of the story.
But what does this have to do with him?
Lin Bei initially wanted to refuse, but when he thought that other monsters might also have some interesting moves, he nodded and agreed.
However, he also had conditions.
Lin Bei didn't say it directly, but instead glanced at Constantine.
Constantine knows Lin Bei very well; the way he glances at him at this moment is clearly about the money left over.
Constantine stretched, perked up, leaned against the table, tapped it, and said lazily, "Okay, this is easy, but you have to pay first. I don't accept deposits; you have to pay us the full amount, including the payment."
The officer was already dissatisfied with them, and upon hearing this request, he immediately shook his head: "No, we can pay fifty percent, but that's our bottom line!"
Constantine sneered, putting his hands behind his head, completely unfazed by the words: "Get this straight, you're the one begging us now, and you owe Lin Bei a favor. With these two things laid out before you, how can you have the nerve to say you'll only give us fifty percent? I'll say it again, either give us the full amount, or we'll take what we're owed and leave."
Constantine spoke frankly, and Lin Bei thought it made no mistake, not at all finding it too bandit-like.
The officer opposite him turned pale with anger. Dr. Serizawa knew that Lin Bei was not someone to be trifled with, and he believed that someone as powerful as Lin Bei would never go back on his word.
Seeing that his superior was about to get angry, Dr. Serizawa quickly got up, grabbed his arm, and nodded to Lin Bei and the other man with a smile: "We'll do it your way. Thank you for helping to clean up the mess. Please make sure that every monster returns to its dormant location, and please don't harm the monsters."
The officer abruptly broke free from Dr. Serizawa, about to confront him, but Dr. Serizawa, unusually serious, slammed his hand on the table and questioned the officer: "Sir, can you handle this? If you and your soldiers could send those monsters still roaming the city back to hibernation, then I naturally wouldn't need Mr. Lin Bei's help! It's precisely to minimize losses and casualties that we need Mr. Lin Bei's help to drive the monsters back to their lair! We can solve this problem with money now. If Mr. Lin Bei is unwilling to accept money, then what other price are you willing to pay? Isn't money the easiest condition to satisfy?"
To be honest, Dr. Serizawa's words hit the nail on the head.
If the army could deal with those monsters and return them to their rightful place, then Dr. Serizawa wouldn't need to ask Lin Bei for help.
The officer froze, finally regaining his composure from his anger.
Yes, as Dr. Serizawa said, if they can solve it themselves, why would they need to ask outsiders for help?
The officer suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, apologized in a low voice, and then let Dr. Serizawa talk to Lin Bei and Constantine to come up with a suitable number.
By the time Constantine and Dr. Serizawa finished haggling and reached an agreement, it was already past midnight.
When the card was presented to Constantine, the still somewhat sleepy Constantine instantly woke up, took the card with a grin, thanked him, and then turned to Lin Bei, waving the card in his hand: "Good brother, get to work."
Lin Bei then stood up and beckoned Constantine over with his finger.
Once Constantine was beside Lin Bei, Lin Bei looked up at Dr. Serizawa and his superior and said calmly, "Now that the money has arrived, we will get things done as you requested before sunrise. So this meeting ends here. I hope you will never run into me again, lest you be spurred on by my power."
He wasn't wrong about that.
Since they arrived at the combat base, countless soldiers have been observing them.
Lin Bei could clearly sense the envy, jealousy, and hatred for the strong in those eyes.
After mocking him, Lin Bei ignored his superior's suddenly darkened face and, right in front of Dr. Serizawa and his superior, slowly raised his hand and drew a circle in the air: "Perfect, let me show you where the difference between me and you lies, and thank Dr. Serizawa. If it weren't for his consistently good attitude, I would have already razed your combat base to the ground."
As Lin Bei finished speaking, golden sparks appeared out of thin air in the air where he had drawn the line. When the golden sparks formed a circle, a spatial passage suddenly appeared in front of everyone present.
Upon witnessing this scene, Dr. Serizawa could no longer sit still. His expression changed drastically as he stood up, staring intently at the completely different scenery on the other side of the spatial passage. His voice trembled as he exclaimed, "What... what is this? You can tear open space and connect two spaces... Who exactly are you? I'm certain that even the most advanced technology in the world cannot reach your level!"
Now, not only was Dr. Serizawa shocked, but even the superior who had previously disliked Lin Bei and Constantine was so astonished that his mouth was agape and he couldn't utter a sound.
This was clearly beyond their comprehension. If they could explain Lin Bei flying with some high technology before, they were now at a loss for words as to how he could break through space with his bare hands and connect to another space.
The soldiers who had gathered around to peek at Lin Bei and his group also saw the scene. They were all so shocked by the spatial passage that they couldn't utter a single word. They gasped in shock, their faces showing fear.
Lin Bei silently curled his lips, glanced at everyone indifferently, and then grabbed Constantine by the back of his collar, dragging him into the spatial passage.
Constantine stumbled after him, yelling and cursing, "Hey, I'm not your pet, you fucking move!"
Lin Bei ignored Constantine and crossed the spatial passage.
Just as the spatial passage was about to disappear, Dr. Serizawa couldn't help but call out, "Mr. Hayashi Kita."
But when Lin Bei slowly turned his head to look at him, Dr. Serizawa felt a tremor in his heart and gave up the idea of asking further questions.
Once the spatial passage disappeared from everyone's sight, everything returned to calm. It was as if Lin Bei and Constantine had never appeared, leaving not a trace.
The surrounding soldiers gradually came to their senses, and then burst into astonished and confused voices. Everything they had seen today had overloaded their brains, making it difficult for them to understand what was going on.
The officer frowned, gave a stern rebuke to silence all the soldiers, then looked at Dr. Serizawa and said thoughtfully, "Doctor, do you think we should just let this go? That person is hiding too many secrets. If we bring him to the research institute, it might really be able to help our soldiers..."
Before the officer could finish speaking, Dr. Serizawa turned around abruptly, looking at him with a serious expression: "Sir! I don't want to hear such words again. Putting aside the fact that this kind of thing violates humanitarian principles, how can you be sure you can catch him? Didn't you hear what he said? He could kill everyone in the entire operations base in just three seconds!"
The officer, however, thought Lin Bei was bragging: "Yes, I admit he's very capable, but that doesn't mean he can withstand a human wave attack..."
Dr. Serizawa interrupted him without hesitation: "Enough, sir. I advise you to abandon this idea. The conclusion I can give is that we can only try to maintain friendly relations with Lin Bei. If you do anything to offend him and cause any irreparable consequences, I will have no choice but to sever ties with you and my team." Seeing Dr. Serizawa's resolute attitude, the officer had no choice but to suppress his resentment and silently nod in agreement with Dr. Serizawa's words.
However, he remained cautious and decided to report the matter to higher authorities.
While Dr. Serizawa and his superior were preoccupied with their own thoughts, Lin Bei had already led Constantine to the monster that was causing chaos on the edge of the city.
According to information provided by Dr. Serizawa, a total of five monsters have not yet entered hibernation. Mothra is not a concern, as it is a very gentle monster. It is not yet in hibernation because it is not time for it to go into hibernation. If left unattended, it will not harm human settlements.
As for the other four, they are a bit tricky.
However, Lin Bei didn't think much of it.
Lin Bei's action of putting it into hibernation was direct and brutal. He first used the power of the Shadow King to bind the monster, then forced it into a coma, and finally packed it up and threw it back into hibernation.
Monsters usually hibernate far from human activity areas. If there is a nearby one, they will find a new, uninhabited hibernation site.
Lin Bei handled the matter efficiently and easily, driving all four monsters back to their lair before dawn.
After dealing with the last one, Lin Bei gestured for Constantine to call Dr. Serizawa back, and then took Constantine back to the seaside city.
The two didn't go anywhere else. They found a hotel near the sea, enjoyed a seaside vacation for a while, and then set off on their journey again.
After a short rest, Constantine looked radiant. With one hand on the steering wheel and a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he drove onto the highway: "Hey, we can't live this hedonistic life forever. If we're not careful, we'll get caught up in it. So, where are we going next?"
Lin Bei leaned against the car frame and lazily pointed in a direction: "Drive that way. There are strange energy fluctuations over there. It doesn't feel like a monster, a giant object, or anything like that. I want to know what it is."
After hearing Lin Bei's words, Constantine fell silent for a moment, then hesitated before asking, "So what exactly is that, a demon?"
Lin Bei shrugged: "Who knows? Let's go over there first. Wouldn't it be better if it were a demon? You've been slacking off for so long, it's time to get you to do something."
Constantine scoffed, "Why are you talking so much? It's like I have nothing better to do. I don't know who could just open a spatial portal and go there, but insisted on making me drive."
Lin Bei gave Constantine the middle finger and ignored him.
The two of them rode in the dilapidated secondhand car, heading north. The further north they went, the lower the temperature became, and the worse the weather got.
The sun was shining brightly all the way, but when they came off the highway and turned into a forest road, the sky became overcast and looked like it was going to rain.
After a gust of cold wind blew by, Constantine rubbed his arms and said helplessly, "Something's not right here. It really does seem like something's going on with a demon."
Lin Bei looked up at the sky for a while, then shook his head slightly: "It's not a demon. Keep driving forward. There should be a small town ahead. We can stay there."
As he said this, Lin Bei glanced at the woods out of the corner of his eye.
In the dim light deep within the woods, a blinding flash of red streaked past.
Lin Bei has sharp eyesight and immediately recognized it as a red balloon.
A cold look appeared in Lin Bei's eyes. At first, he had some vague guesses, but now that he saw the red balloon, his guesses were immediately confirmed.
It
That red balloon is the most obvious feature.
"It" tells the story of a small town called Derry, a rural and peaceful town formed by lumberjacks during the American pioneering era. The only exception is that the number of missing children and deaths in this town is six times higher than the national average.
Until one day, the underage children began to see strange visions. A red-haired clown in white clothes often appeared in front of people. Only the children could see the clown, but the clown could appear anywhere and anytime, transforming into any kind of terrifying thing, completely frightening the children, and then eating them.
As more and more children went missing, police imposed a curfew after 7 p.m. every day, but to no avail.
At this point, Billy, a primary school student who lost his younger brother, slowly uncovers the core of the incident in his quest to find the truth.
It turns out it's not human, but a curse from a supernatural force in the town of Derry: the dancing clown Pennywise. Pennywise has existed for hundreds of years, and every twenty-seven years he is resurrected in the town, absorbing the life energy of children and erasing the memories of adults, leaving them unable to stop or detect it.
In the original storyline, Billy and his other companions joined forces to drive Panniwiss back to his lair and temporarily seal him away.
This led to a sequel, in which Pennywise breaks the seal and returns to fight.
After Constantine drove the car into the town of Derui, Lin Bei glanced around and realized that this was a scene from the first movie.
In other words, Pennywise had already started causing trouble, but Billy and his group hadn't had time to figure out what was going on.
Just as Lin Bei was recalling the original plot, Constantine slammed on the brakes and came to an abrupt stop.
Lin Bei turned his head and saw someone blocking his way.
It was already late, and in the dim light, a portly policeman slowly walked to the driver's seat, placed his hand on the car frame, and curiously looked at Constantine and Lin Bei.
Constantine lit a cigarette and spoke up, "Officer, what's the matter?"
The officer adjusted his hat brim and said slowly, "I'm sorry, the town of Derui is currently under martial law, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. If you are here to visit Derui, you will probably have to wait a while."
Constantine frowned slightly, but before he could speak, Lin Bei, in the passenger seat, said calmly, "If we're here to resolve a problem, can we go in?" (End of Chapter)
