Chapter 3713 Who Makes the Clown Laugh
After Angel made his choice, the staff immediately called a member of the security team and asked him to go to the model warehouse at the headquarters to bring the selected model.
"Sir, you can wait here for a while. You will get the selected model in about half an hour."
After the staff member finished speaking, he left first.
He still has to go to the prize redemption office outside to complete the next task.
Ingres also decided to take advantage of this time to look for Sisley to see if he could complete the random task of "Who makes the clown laugh?"
The security personnel in the reception room did not stop Angel from leaving, but asked him to come back within half an hour to avoid missing the model prize redemption.
"I'm just wandering around the homeless house. I won't go far." Ingres explained and asked the security guard about "Sisley".
Unfortunately, this security guard was just an ordinary person and had never heard of Sisley's name.
Ingres had no choice but to go out and ask someone else.
Return to the home of the wandering house.
The crowd here is still very dense, but most of them are scattered. Some are drinking and chatting at the bar on the side, some are concerned about the tasks refreshed on the light screen, and others gather together to discuss clothing design.
It is clearly a mixture of multiple atmospheres, but it somehow feels harmonious.
Angel walked through the crowd, trying to find a lone homeless house staff member to ask.
Soon, he locked on a target.
A waiter holding orange juice and red velvet cake, with the logo of the homeless house on his clothes. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be a staff member of the homeless house.
After serving dessert and juice to a lady who was deep in thought, he walked towards the back door on the side, which led to the kitchen.
However, before he could enter the back door, he felt a tap on his shoulder.
He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Ingres.
……
It was a pleasant chat with this attendant.
He answered whatever Ingres asked, without hiding anything.
——Angel did not use magic, but chose another way to clear the way: scattering money.
Under the temptation of tips, the servant told Ingres all the information he knew.
Although the servant was just an ordinary person, he worked in the homeless house after all, so he was very familiar with some of the permanent residents here.
Sisley is the resident magician at the Wandering House headquarters.
According to him, Sisley usually stays in the Children's House and does not come to the main venue.
The Children's House was originally the home of a fashion wizard who specialized in children's clothing. Later, in order to improve himself, the fashion wizard went to other cities to study abroad.
The children's house became idle.
Nowadays, it has basically become a children's playground, and there are also some children's clothing designers who display their designs there.
Sisley now resides here.
As for why Sisley stayed in the Children's House, the attendant was not quite sure, but just guessed: "Maybe he likes children more? I saw a bunch of children playing around him when I served him food several times."
"He would be very happy when facing the children. But once he faced us, his face immediately became stern, mean and serious."
In short, if Ingres wanted to find Sisley, the right place to go was the Children's House.
Following the servant's instructions, Ingres also saw the door leading to the Children's House.
It was a door painted with rainbows and small animals.
However, not everyone can enter this door. According to the servants, there are only two types of people who can enter this door legally: children and children's clothing designers.
Of course, parents of children and servants can also enter, but they cannot stay in there for too long.
With Angel's current identity, he definitely cannot enter the Children's House.
However, Ingres was not in a hurry. If he couldn't get in, the worst that could happen was to lure Sisley out.
As for the method of eliciting it, it is also very simple.
Ingres took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote a note, and then handed the note and a five-dollar tip in Modern Dollars to the attendant: "Take this note to Sisley and tell him that someone is waiting for him outside."
Because Ingres wrote the note in front of the servant, although he could not see the words on the note clearly, he knew that Ingres did not write a long message.
Besides, there was nothing special about the note, so the servant thought about it and agreed to help Ingres.
Under Angel's gaze, the servant first went to the kitchen and took out several glasses of juice, then carried the plates to the children's room.
The security guard at the entrance of the Children's House was no stranger to the attendant, and when he saw him carrying juice, he thought he was delivering something to the children.
He did not stop him and allowed the servant to enter the Children's House.
As the servant's figure disappeared, Angel also turned on the God's perspective and paid attention to the servant's movements.
After the servant came to the Children's House, he did not go to find Sisley immediately, but went to the playground and invited the children to drink juice.
While the child was drinking juice, he took out the note given by Ingres and prepared to open it.
——He was still worried that sending the note would bring some trouble.
As a lover of crime mystery, he has read many crime novels, in which enemies often use notes to lure hiders out and then ambush and kill them.
Although the servant had never seen such a scene in reality, it is better to be cautious.
Anyway, Angel is not here, so even if he reads the contents of the note, he won't be caught.
As for whether to send it to Sisley later, it depends on the content of the note, whether it contains some inappropriate content.
The servant seemed to have some paranoia. Before opening the note, he held it up to the light to make sure there was no poison powder hidden inside. Only then did he unfold it.
Then he saw that there were only a few characters on the note.
An old friend asked to see me.
Servant: “…That’s it?”
He thought there would be some explosive gossip, and he even imagined a conspiracy and revenge, but in the end there were only a few words?
The attendant sighed.
From these few words alone, it is hard to tell that there is anything wrong behind it. Moreover, Sisley would probably not go out to see Ingres after seeing this "seeking a meeting" note.
After all, if you want to meet, at least tell me your reason and who you are.
The servant thought about it and decided to send it to Sisley. As for whether Sisley would see it or not, it was not up to him to decide.
The servant refolded the note, then glanced around the children's room and soon found Sisley who was making a fool of himself to make the children laugh.
He walked towards Sisley.
However, what he didn't know was that after he folded the note, the words on it slowly faded away and finally turned into a blank space.
On this note...
Ingres actually wrote nothing.
He only left a few nightmare nodes.
The few words that the servant saw just now were just a small illusion created by Angel controlling the node.
Ingres was not surprised by the servant's behavior of tearing up the note. When he talked to the servant before, even though the servant said everything, Ingres could still see that the servant had been observing him.
This person appears to be a big shot, but is actually very cautious. Ingres expected that he would read the note.
Even the servants were tainted with a few nightmare nodes at this time.
If the servant did not intend to hand the note to Sisley, Angel would control the Nightmare Node and personally control the servant to deliver it.
However, it seems that although the servant read the note, he did not think of breaching the contract.
He still brought the note to Sisley.
……
Sisley is a middle-aged man wearing a purple suit and a dark green bow tie.
However, although he was wearing formal clothes, he had clown makeup on his face. However, the makeup was not complete, only a red nose and square and plum blossom patterns under the eyes.
It looks like it is less scary than the clown and more funny.
It was precisely because of the funny makeup that he attracted groups of children to watch him. Some children even rode on his shoulders and rubbed his red nose with a smile.
Sisley did not resist the children's actions at all. He still smiled and looked like he was completely immersed in the game and having a lot of fun.
Even when the servant came up to him, Sisley didn't even give him any glances and continued playing with the children.
To the servant, Sisley was a person who loved children and was keen on playing with them, so he did not urge them and just waited quietly.
But from Ingres's God's perspective, he still discovered Sisley's abnormality.
Previously, Sisley had only observed from a God's perspective, and there was nothing wrong with him. But now, the servant was carrying a Nightmare Node, and through the feedback of the Nightmare Node, Angel directly activated his super perception.
Sisley looked like he was smiling happily, but he did not feel any joy in his heart.
His playfulness with other kids was just an act, a act for himself.
But it is not true to say that Sisley hated children.
There seemed to be a barrier between him and children or anyone around him. He was neither hateful nor friendly.
He put himself in the situation, but pulled his thoughts away from it, as if he were a stranger.
But if someone saw Sisley in person, no one would think he was acting, because his smile was so bright.
The moment he saw Sisley, Ingres understood why the random task was "Who makes the clown laugh?"
It seems like a simple task to make people laugh, but in reality, this task is probably very difficult. Because, if you want to make Sisley laugh, you must first understand his background and resolve some of his inner knots.
In other words, you have to heal his dry heart first, and then you can make him laugh from the bottom of his heart.
This is definitely not an easy task for players.
However, Angel was a wallflower after all, and he had never thought of completing this random task using normal methods from the beginning.
His method was actually very simple... He used the power of nightmare to directly control Sisley's mind, block all negative emotions, and then let him laugh from the bottom of his heart in this situation.
This method is basically cheating.
In fact, Ingres was not sure whether he could succeed.
If this method doesn't work, then... he will voluntarily give up the task.
The reward for the task "Who makes the clown laugh" is the puzzle pieces of the clown. As far as Angel knows, the clown's ability is basically to change clothes with one click.
This meant nothing to Ingres.
Even if he really got the clown-shaped puzzle, Angel would most likely dismantle it... So, Angel had thought very clearly about this random task. If he could complete it, he would complete it. If he couldn't, he would give up.
Sisley played with the children for a while with a smile on his face. When the children got tired and started to scatter, he looked at the servants beside him.
After seeing the servant, Sisley's expression changed in a second, from smiling to expressionless.
This is also why the servants said that Sisley loved children more and was mean and serious to adults.
However, Ingres knew that Sisley made no difference in his attitude towards adults and children. He would just act a little and look happy when facing children, but not when facing adults.
"What's the matter?" Sisley asked calmly.
The attendant did not hesitate and told the whole story in one breath. However, he did not say that he had opened the note, but only said that someone outside asked him to take a note to Sisley.
Sisley remained very calm. After taking the note, he threw it into the trash can beside him without hesitation.
The attendant was stunned and wanted to say something.
Sisley said, "Anyone I know can enter here. Only those I don't know will try to make me leave here."
After saying this, Sisley said nothing more, but ordered the servants to leave.
The attendant didn't think much about it and walked out of the children's room.
When the attendant saw Ingres still waiting outside, he came over and said, "I have brought the note to Sisley, but I don't know whether he is willing to come out to see you."
After a pause, the attendant reluctantly added: "I feel that he may not come to see you. You don't need to wait for him here."
Facing the servant's dissuasion, Angel just chuckled: "It's okay, I'll wait for two minutes. If he doesn't come out, I'll leave."
Seeing that Ingres' expression was calm and he showed no signs of excitement, the servant said nothing more, nodded, and turned to leave.
However, although the servant left, he still looked at Ingres from time to time.
He was thinking that if Ingres was still waiting there half an hour later, he would go over and tell Ingres the truth: Sisley hadn't even read your note.
However, the servant had no chance to put his "good intentions" into practice.
Because Ingres said to wait two minutes, he really only waited two minutes.
Two minutes later, Sisley walked out of the door of the Children's House and came in front of Ingres.
With Sisley's smile, he and Ingres returned to the Children's House together.
Looking at the two of them disappearing from the back, the servant had a confused expression on his face.
Didn't Sisley not read the note? Didn't he throw it into the trash? Why did he suddenly come out to see Ingres?
Could it be that after the servant left, Sisley started rummaging through the trash can to look for the note he had just thrown?
Could it be that Sisley is a tsundere?
However, even if he really read the note, he would come out to see Ingres excitedly just by the words "an old friend wants to see you". This also puzzled the attendant.
In the end, the servant was too lazy to think about it anymore.
Whatever the situation was, it had nothing to do with him. And judging from the fact that Sisley smiled when he met Ingres, the two must really be old friends.
It's not some murderer, it's a bit boring, but that's the norm of life.
The servant no longer worried about Ingres and Sisley, but concentrated on the work at hand.
