Horror game: opening scare system

Arthur held the fruit knife tightly in his left hand, and he stared at the door intently, feeling nervous.

It's so late, who could it be?

The slums are not a harmonious place, there are often people who break into the empty door at night, and in serious cases, people may even die!

Swallowing, Arthur heard his heart pounding.

He fumbled behind him with his right hand and grabbed a piece of cloth in his hand.

Thinking about waiting for that person to sneak in for a while, first use this thing to block the other person's sight.

crunch~~

The door opened slowly, and seeing the figure coming in, Arthur put down the knife in his hand.

"It's you." He said with a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xun looked at Arthur's posture, then at the reminder Nia gave him, and narrowed his eyes.

This old boy is a bit interesting.

[Current Arthur Fleck mental state: excited (88/100)]

Putting a piece of candy into his mouth calmly, Zhang Xun asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"No, it's just that you surprised me by coming here at this time," Arthur said.

"Is it convenient to come out?"

Hearing Zhang Xun's request, Arthur hesitated for a moment, glanced at Fiora, then at the billboard he carried back, and said:

"wait for me."

Zhang Xun nodded and did not enter the house.

Arthur tidied up a little in the room, put the things he carried back into the bedroom, and covered Fiora with a blanket before coming out.

After Arthur closed the door, the two walked slowly on the desolate street.

During the period, you can see some passers-by in black clothes, moving quietly.

When they see the two, most of these "night crawlers" will say hello to the two, meaning don't expose me, and I won't expose you, let's make a fortune together.

Neither of them paid much attention to this.

After walking for a while, I came to a "sparsely populated" place.

Zhang Xun pretended to be stupid and asked, "Your complexion is not very good, what happened today?"

"Nothing." Arthur said.

Zhang Xun nodded, as if he was understanding, he didn't want to bring up this issue, and said:

"Don't you think, Arthur, people are weird?"

Arthur was stunned and didn't talk to Zhang Xun. Zhang Xun didn't care, and continued:

"They are too indifferent. Moreover, they are too false. I don't see the brilliance of flesh and blood from them, only the mechanical and perfunctory like walking dead."

"Maybe they're just too tired. Everyone's running around. Like me, and like you..."

Arthur's voice was distorted, because he had no confidence, and he didn't even know why he could say such a thing.

Zhang Xun shook his head and said, "Arthur, does Fiora love you?"

"Of course he loves me!" Arthur replied in a mosquito-like voice.

"Don't lie to yourself anymore." Zhang Xun said seriously: "I tell you, it is to stop being kept in the dark.

Did you see it?Those high-end candies, do you think your salary can afford those things? "

"..." Arthur was silent, shaking his head.

At this moment, Arthur felt something was sent to his hands!

He was startled, and quickly lowered his head to look, only to find that it was a pistol!

Arthur's heart jumped again. He looked at Zhang Xun with doubt, surprise, fear and excitement in his eyes.

"you......"

"Take it, I'll show you a surprise tomorrow."

Zhang Xun said something mysterious and left, leaving only Arthur standing there in a daze.

......

Arthur left early in the morning.

He went to the company, intending to send the broken billboard over, and get a lighter punishment by the way.

After Arthur left, Fiora was still awake.

"Sorry, Mr. Fleck, because of your work attitude, we can no longer hire you."

As soon as he came to the company, Arthur received such a notice, and he was dumbfounded.

"Why?" Arthur asked. "I got beaten up for chasing this billboard back! You can't chase me away like this!"

After Arthur finished speaking, the chubby boss narrowed his eyes, stared at Arthur and said:

"That is to say, is it true that you stopped your work and went after other people's children yesterday afternoon?"

"What? I didn't. I chased the person yesterday to get back the billboard!" Arthur once again emphasized that he did not neglect his duties, but only to recover the property belonging to the company.

It's a pity that the fat boss doesn't appreciate it.

"In this case, it proves that the report call someone made to me yesterday is true. Now, Mr. Arthur Fleck, you have been fired from us!"

"No! You can't do this!" Arthur begged, but to no avail.

The fat boss ignored Arthur at all, but shouted outside: "Chris, come in."

As soon as the words were finished, a man younger than Arthur walked in quickly, and he couldn't restrain his complacency at all.

Even, when passing by Arthur, this Chris made a very provocative expression at Arthur.

Arthur clenched his fist unconsciously.

"Mr. Chris, the promotion of our company will depend on you. I think you should be qualified for this job."

Arthur on the side saw that the fat boss was so eager to hand over the job that belonged to him to this Chris. He didn't understand that all this was discussed by the other party, and he had no room to resist.

No, there may be room for resistance, but...

Arthur subconsciously touched the pistol hidden in his cuff, then shook his head, sighed, and turned to leave.

"Fleck, wait a minute."

Suddenly, the fat boss called out to Arthur.

Arthur turned his head and looked at the other party with some doubts.

"This billboard is the property of the company. You damaged it, so you need to make corresponding compensation."

"I'll compensate you?" Arthur asked in disbelief, his voice much higher.

"Of course." The fat boss squinted his eyes and replied without any psychological burden.

"Why!?" Arthur asked angrily.

"Because you broke him!" said the fat boss.

"I didn't break it! Three kids did it!" Arthur growled.

"You broke him, I saw it!" Chris yelled loudly at this time.

Arthur's eyes widened, and he looked at Chris in disbelief.Then he noticed that other people around him were looking over.

Those indifferent and malicious eyes were like searchlights, hitting Arthur; those disdainful and contemptuous eyes were like sharp knives, piercing Arthur's heart.

The cold touch of the pistol on his forearm could not calm Arthur's raging anger.

"fky!"

Arthur cursed loudly, then punched the fat boss on the chin, knocking his glasses and teeth away.

"I'm done with the fucking world!"

Roaring, Arthur kicked Chris to the ground, picked up a chair beside him, and smashed the fat boss to the ground...

In the office, Arthur and a group of people huddled together, and the others were watching and screaming...
