Bar, on stage.

The magician's clichéd performance is coming to an end.

The guests in the audience showed bored expressions and started chatting on their own.

"It's these magic shows again."

"I don't know once you saw this playing card performance in a bar... He can't change to some fresh magic, such as turning the assistant's clothes away."

"If he had magic like this, he wouldn't have performed in the bar, but in Las Vegas."

“Or, strip club.”

Accompanied by the vulgar conversations of several people, the magician on the stage completed his exit performance and returned to the backstage amidst sporadic applause.

Standing on the edge of the stage, the boss turned his head and looked at Arthur, who was humming a cheerful tune behind him, and his eyes fell under the red clown mask he was wearing, and the corners of his face unconsciously raised upwards.

"Next, let's welcome, clown!"

"clown?"

In the bar, when several guests heard the name on the stage, they showed strange expressions on their faces.

"Is it the new guy?"

"What kind of performance will he do, throwing colorful balls or blowing balloons on stage?"

As their eyes were gaze, a clown climbed the stage.

He wore a red suit and green vest, a rough clown mask on his face, and grinned and made a cheerful expression.

"I used to think that my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it is actually a comedy."

Standing on the stage, spreading his arms, Arthur stared at the crowd below and made unstoppable laughter.

"As these days, everyone lives a depressed and poor life, which can drive everyone crazy."

"So, why can't we face this cruel and ruthless society with a little more smile."

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

Shaking his body and taking brisk dance steps, Arthur's sharp laughter resounded throughout the bar under the clown mask.

"Hey, clown, we're not here to listen to your complaints!"

Frowning and looking at Arthur who was crazy on the stage, a guest in a bar couldn't help but shout.

"Yes, freak!"

"Get out of here quickly, freak, clown..."

“…”

The guest booed, and Arthur, who was dancing happily on the stage, stopped.

He stood quietly on the stage, listening to the booing sounds coming from all directions from the bar below the stage.

“Hahahahahaha.”

Under the clown's mask, even happier laughter came.

"My mom told me to keep a smile at people."

"Now, let me give you the joy, hahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

“Hahahahahaha.”

As the clown fell on the stage.

Off the audience, a guest who was always booing at him suddenly covered his stomach and laughed.

"What's going on? What's so funny about this!"

The guy who suddenly started laughing out loud was a puzzled expression on his face, which was not the guest.

“Hahahahaha…”

"Ah hahahahahaha..."

"Haha, you, haha, why do you want it? Haha... laughed..."

"I don't know, hahahaha, I just can't control myself, I want, hahahahahaha."

Strangely, with the laughter of the first guest, laughter came one after another in the bar, three, four, five...

Gradually, all the guests laughed, and they opened their mouths and made irresistible laughter. In the end, the entire bar was drowned out by the guests' laughter.

On the stage, Arthur waved his arms and danced with laughter.

Happy is like a clown.

...

"Fu** you, crazy, all, crazy..."

Backstage, watching the whole bar laughing scene.

A terrified expression appeared on the white talk show actor's face. He took out his cell phone tremblingly and called the police.

Operator: "NYPD, is there any emergency?"

White talk show actor: "This is New York...bar, send the police!"

Operator: "What happened there?"

White talk show actor: "Crazy, everyone is crazy, they are laughing, they are laughing."

Operator: "I don't understand what you mean, sir, are you talking and laughing?"

White talk show actor: "Yes, everyone, everyone in the bar is being laughed by that clown, they keep laughing, haha...it's like a madman!"

Operator: "Sir, are you sure you're not kidding?"

White talk show actor: "I'm not kidding, haha, everything I'm saying is true, that clown, he makes everyone laugh, everyone, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Operator: "Sir, are you okay?"

White talk show actor: "I, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

Operator: "Sir, sir, the police are heading towards the bar."

Arthur: "Why so serious?"

...

"Amanda, something happened!"

New York, FBI branch.

Agent Zhou received a contact from the New York Police Department as soon as possible.

He hurriedly drove the car and moved forward quickly towards the destination. Agent Zhou quickly transferred the situation informed by the police to Amanda in the passenger seat.

"The New York Police Department received a call and there was a case in the bar we had been to before. Judging from the description of the person who called the police, there was a clown who caused everyone in the bar to laugh wildly."

If, before today.

Amanda heard what Agent Zhou told him, and then treated him as a clown's successful performance.

However, after seeing Harvey's death, Amanda almost subconsciously linked what happened in the bar with Harvey's death.

"Can you confirm the clown's identity?"

“It is not yet confirmed.”

Shaking his head, Agent Zhou controlled the car to turn rapidly beyond the vehicle in front of him and continued to drive amid the other party's curses.

"Maybe this is another supernatural event?"

Focusing on the road, Agent Zhou in the driver's seat asked Amanda.

Although the Bureau of Surnatural Event Investigation (BSI) was established under the executive order signed by FBI Director Robert Miller and the President, the Bureau of Investigation of All Surnatural Events (BSI), in fact, the only one who has really been exposed to the Surnatural Events in the entire BSI is Amanda.

"perhaps."

In the passenger seat, I heard Agent Zhou’s question.

Amanda replied with uncertainty.

Since she joined BSI, she has handled many "supernatural" cases, but these were undoubtedly proven to be scams or murders under the name "supernatural". This time, the reason why she took over the death case of Harvey Cruise was because his death was bizarre enough.
