Clown Game
Chapter 130 - 130 126 Unknown Task 10

Chapter 130: Chapter 126 Unknown Task 10 Chapter 130: Chapter 126 Unknown Task 10 Ordinariness is a most charming quality, but its charm can only be understood by those who are extraordinary. Therefore, what many extraordinary people desperately want to attain, and what ordinary people desperately want to discard, is the same thing.

This is a very convoluted and ironic statement, but indeed, that is the case, the same thing takes on different forms in different circles.

For instance, when scrubbing in the bath, men scrub the front and back, while women… scrub all four sides.

…

Lin Fan burst out of the back door of the fast-food restaurant, and right after that, he saw in “Future Vision” that 10 seconds later, the man in the strange suit would also burst out and crazily pounce towards him. Thus, he had to quickly run to the corner of the building on the left, to escape the man’s line of sight.

The idea definitely had no issues, with someone chasing, of course, one must run. However, Lin Fan felt it was utterly ridiculous…

“Why do I have to run…?

I just want to be an ordinary person, and I’ve been working very hard at it, but why does someone always come and disrupt this hard-won peaceful life?

Although I don’t take the initiative to help anyone, I never thought about harming anyone either. In this indifferent world, that should be enough to be called a good person, right?

But why do I need to hide like a fugitive with a heinous reputation?

Just because I’m a bit different from others?

Why?”

…

The more he thought, the more annoyed he got, the more agitated he felt, but he had to run, otherwise, what awaited him might be a bleak imprisonment, or something even more inhumane.

So, he turned and ran towards the escape route he had already planned.

He had such escape routes in every place he frequented.

The fast-food restaurant’s route was one of them, not too long, but enough to shake off the people who wanted to catch him. After the building’s corner, not far away, there was a bustling street where the huge flow of people could easily hide his whereabouts.

500 meters later, there was a crossroads with two pedestrian overpasses. Each overpass had two forks on the left and right, and each level of the paths pointed in different directions; there, just one mistake from the pursuer would make them lose him for good.

After the overpass was a shopping mall. Upon entering, one found the discount area; the grandmas who lost their sanity over discounted thermal underwear would provide an exceptionally convenient environment for him to hide. Moreover, he had a handful of coins in his pocket, and by scattering them on the ground, he could create chaos lasting no less than two minutes.

Next to the discount area, there was a fire escape that led directly to the underground parking lot, where there was a second-hand sedan. It was a standard make, with no bad history, untraceable to any information related to Lin Fan. He had put a lot of thought and more than two years of government subsidies into this car, and it was perfectly parked next to the emergency exit, where the surveillance camera had been broken for five months.

This sedan was about 1000 meters away from the exit of the underground garage in a straight line…

Truth be told, Lin Fan didn’t believe anyone could follow him after so many obstacles. But just in case, he had prepared this car, just like he said before, he didn’t want to take risks.

Those 1000 meters were enough to lose anyone, and outside the parking lot was the main entrance of the mall, facing the business district. He could park anywhere, turn around and disappear without a trace; no one would be able to track him again.

Unless… someone had also placed a car in this parking garage in advance…

But that was impossible… Not everyone had the ability to foresee the future.

…

…

10 seconds later, Chen Xiao burst out of the back door of the fast-food restaurant. By then, his target was nowhere to be seen. However, he noticed the leaves twisting unnaturally in mid-air beside the corner of the building. That wasn’t something gravity could have caused; someone must have rushed past that spot just moments before.

A person can hide themselves with their wits. But as long as they’re not a true ghost, they will leave traces. Shoes must touch the ground to run, and running creates a current of air. That person was out of his sight, but they couldn’t escape the sight of everyone.

Chen Xiao looked at the unusually falling leaves and chased after them. Those were the traces of someone passing by. He saw a passerby adjusting the strap of their backpack—that was the trace of someone squeezing past. The crowd that suddenly parted and then came together again, the direction in which the vendor on the overpass was hawking, the duration of the swearing from the grandmas in the discount area, the sound of the coins rolling… all of these were traces.

No matter what it is, it can’t possibly be an isolated individual; it will more or less intersect with the surrounding things, and Chen Xiao saw all these intersections, observing everything he could see, analyzing, deducing, and coming to conclusions.

Therefore, Chen Xiao saw a lot.

For example, just now, he squeezed into the crowd.

Just now, he climbed up the pedestrian overpass.

He entered the mall

He went to the discount area

He went down to the underground parking garage

…

From beginning to end, Chen Xiao never saw a hint of Lin Fan’s shadow, but he kept chasing like this, without any deviation. In front of his eyes, it was like there was a phantom figure, playing back the route Lin Fan had taken, performing the actions Lin Fan had made. It felt like he was watching Lin Fan from a few minutes ago.

Finally… after passing through the dense crowd, the chaotic rooftops, the noisy mall, the frenzied old ladies… he finally grinned, his face flushed with excitement as he burst through the door of the underground parking garage!

…

Afterwards, following the sound of an engine starting up… Chen Xiao was stunned as he watched a sedan whizzing past in front of him…

In the driver’s seat, that ordinary-looking server seemed like a different person, his eyes no longer timid but filled with anger and disdain… as if, mocking himself…

…

…

Inside the car, Lin Fan looked at the weird man who had just rushed into the parking garage and sneered contemptuously.

He admitted that his pursuer was impressive, for after crossing so many obstacles, he was still able to find himself. To know, people before usually couldn’t catch up with him once he blended into the crowd.

But still, his pursuer couldn’t catch him, unless he could run faster than a car… Just running faster wasn’t enough, he had also to somehow make this car stop…

Heh, how could he, chase up and simply grab the car with his hands? What is he, the Hulk?

Lin Fan thought.

Even though he was a bit disheveled this time, the outcome was the same; he had escaped his pursuers once again, just like the previous times.

Just as he thought this…

Suddenly!

In Lin Fan’s “Future Vision,” several segments of vision flashed violently. Immediately, he opened his mouth in utter horror.

“This must be a joke…” he shouted uncontrollably.

Because, in the countless futures he saw

…

He

had no chance of winning at all.
