Chapter 253 The Real Fear

"Oh my god..."

The sight before her left Jennifer speechless, her mouth agape for a long time.

"Master Cao Kun, is my child in there?" Her gaze swept over the figures one by one, but she did not see her child.

"mom".

Just as Cao Kun was about to answer, a little boy's voice, filled with a childish tone and fear, suddenly came from beside them.

The two turned their heads and saw a small child walking out of the darkness.

He bore a resemblance to Jennifer; he was quite cute, but his face was covered in grime and fear.

Upon seeing Jennifer, tears streamed down his face, and he cried out, "Mom, Mom..."

"Kai!" Jennifer's tears welled up instantly, and she called out excitedly, about to run over.

"Don't move." Cao Kun pulled her back: "This is fake, this is not your child."

“No way, he is Kai, he is my child.” Jennifer struggled to break free from Cao Kun’s grasp.

Snap!

Cao Kun slapped her across the face, knocking her to the ground, and blood immediately flowed from her mouth.

Cao Kun said coldly, "If you still trust me, then listen to me."

Jennifer covered her cheek, feeling the pain on her face, and came to her senses.

She thought of Cao Kun's abilities.

It can fly, and it can shatter any obstacle in front of it with a single palm strike.

Since he says it's fake, it's very likely that it is.

only……

Jennifer looked at the little boy, who looked at her crying and said, "Mom, don't you want me anymore?"

"Mom, come save me!"

"Mom, I'm so cold."

"Mom, it hurts so much."

"Mom, I'm so scared."

Each shout made Jennifer's heart clench.

She felt as if her heart was being cut open piece by piece, the pain was unbearable.

"Master Cao Kun, is he really a fake?" Jennifer looked at Cao Kun for help, wanting to get final confirmation.

Cao Kun: "Get up, I'll show you whether this is real or fake."

Jennifer got up and walked to Cao Kun's side.

Cao Kun flicked his finger, and a beam of purple light shot out, striking the little boy.

In an instant, the little boy's figure vanished, leaving the area empty and devoid of anything.

It was as if that little boy had never existed.

Jennifer stared wide-eyed at the scene, incredulous, yet relieved.

Cao Kun: "If he were real, he would have already run towards you. Why are you standing still?"

Jennifer then realized this.

In the heat of the moment, I didn't notice this anomaly at all.

“Thank you, Master Cao Kun.” Jennifer expressed her heartfelt gratitude: “Where is my child?”

Cao Kun pointed to their heads: "They're in there."

Jennifer looked up and saw that there were just too many figures.

Moreover, because of the light, she couldn't see very clearly.

More importantly, these children had their eyes closed, their bodies floating and spinning, as if they had lost all life.

Jennifer pleaded, "Master Cao Kun, please help me find Kai."

No rush.

With a wave of his hand, Cao Kun sent out several more array objects, which scattered throughout the empty underground space.

Then, with a hand seal, these array objects disappeared.

Only then did Cao Kun turn his gaze back upwards.

Before long, his eyes brightened and he locked onto one of the small figures.

He raised his hand and pressed down, and a powerful force followed, causing the floating figures to fall downwards.

But supported by a gentle force, they landed softly without being smashed to pieces.

This was the first time Cao Kun had ever been so gentle with someone.

Because these are just children.

The oldest is only about ten years old.

The youngest is only two or three years old.

No matter how ruthless Cao Kun is, he still wouldn't kill a child.

Unless, of course, the other party intends to harm him.

Unfortunately, these children who fell to the ground were nothing but corpses, like the clown's stockpile of food.

Only the one that fell into Cao Kun's arms still showed some signs of life.

The hallucination I just had wasn't entirely useless; at least it let Cao Kun know what Jennifer's child looks like.

Now, the child in Cao Kun's arms is exactly the same as the hallucination he just had.

"Kai." Jennifer approached with a mixture of surprise and delight, asking anxiously, "Master Cao Kun, how is Kai?"

Cao Kun: "He is still alive, but his physical functions are poor and he has suffered considerable damage. He needs to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible."

Jennifer quickly said, "Let's go to the hospital now."

"We can't leave yet."

After Cao Kun finished speaking, he looked into the darkness and said, "Pennywise, stop hiding and come out."

"hey-hey……"

A clown's eerie laughter echoed from the darkness.

Then, all sorts of venomous snakes emerged from the darkness, slithering towards Cao Kun and his companion—no, the three of them.

"ah!"

Jennifer screamed in terror at the sight of the venomous snakes.

Cao Kun realized: "You're afraid of snakes?"

Jennifer: "Yes, I'm terrified of snakes. Master Cao Kun, please get rid of these snakes."

These snakes were created by the Joker to exploit Jennifer's fear.

Moreover, it is real and can cause real harm to people.

This is one of the Joker's abilities.

Whatever you fear, it can conjure up, and it will truly exist.

As soon as Jennifer finished speaking, a large number of rats, cockroaches, scorpions, centipedes, and caterpillars appeared in the darkness.

There were also bats and zombies magnified countless times, as well as all sorts of bizarre monsters.

Cao Kun looked at Jennifer with a strange expression: "You're really afraid of a lot of things."

Jennifer, disregarding her embarrassment, exclaimed, "Master Cao Kun, please save me!"

There are only two ways to deal with the things the Joker has created.

The first step is to face your fears head-on, confront them directly, and overcome them.

But ordinary people don't have that kind of ability.

This isn't a movie shoot where you can just use cheat codes.

For example, if someone is afraid of heights, going to a high place will not help them overcome their fear; it will only make them more terrified, and they might even faint from fright.

Jennifer is in the same boat now. If Cao Kun told her to overcome her fear of these things right away, she definitely wouldn't be able to.

Then there's only the second option left.

With a wave of his hand, Cao Kun sent out a series of Yin Talismans that disappeared into the ground.

With a single step, he unleashed a powerful surge of earthly energy, causing all the creatures that surged forth, except those flying in the sky, to perish tragically.

As for the flying creatures, he swung his palm and they were all smashed to pieces.

This is the method of a Soul Devouring Realm expert.

The earthly evil power he can now casually summon is much stronger than the power he used to summon at full strength before.

"Hehe, how many can you kill?"

The clown's voice came from the darkness again.

Then, the exact same things as before appeared in large quantities again.

Cao Kun took out a camera and took pictures of those things.

After the photo was expelled, Cao Kun let it burn in his palm.

The next moment, those things also turned into a pile of ashes.
