Capítulo 66: Chapter 66
Randy tossed the Corgi back into the house and then returned to the Clown's lair.
This was originally an underground world resembling a skylight.
It was dozens of meters deep, with a width of around thirty meters at the bottom.
Randy had already used his abilities to alter it.
The walls were covered in root-like veins, filled with various green plants and fungi. At the top, there were layers of large nets made of vines, with each vine hanging down like a trap for insects. Each vine was wrapped around a corpse—oh no, it was the supplementary nutrients.
There were also some empty vines, which were actually thorny briars. When enemies intruded, these would be the most lethal attack methods.
The floor of the well had turned into a vast expanse of water, deep enough to submerge halfway. The water below had also been affected by Randy, revealing fresh soil and various aquatic plants.
As for the garbage collected by Pennywise, it had all been washed into the sewers by Randy, scattered into various corners.
They were just old antiques, not worth much.
Now, it was a natural green hell.
If Pennywise returned, he would surely think he had entered the wrong room.
Back in his domain, Randy was in a good mood. He stepped onto the water's surface and approached a corner where two vines hung down, each tied with five pieces of nutrient material. One of them was dangling into the water, where Michelle's corpse was submerged.
By the afternoon, one of the nutrients had already been drained, and the seeds planted on Michelle's body had established roots and begun to sprout.
"Not bad, the growth is promising."
He might not even need two vines, considering Michelle's limited strength.
Randy thoughtfully planted new seeds, specifically the seeds from Michelle's wife and daughter, next to Michelle's seeds.
"Bringing your family together, I am truly a great benefactor."
He waved his hand, and immediately, three more vines descended from the air, with the corpses submerged in the water and connected to the seeds. Soon, the roots would invade the nutrients and absorb their essence.
The cursed monsters were significantly stronger than Michelle, so they naturally required more nutrients and more time to mature.
"This will be my exclusive farm from now on."
The central area was left empty, reserved for those who liked to feed on fear.
After setting up a few more traps, Randy left.
Instead of going to West City, he returned home.
There was still a major protector to deal with.
During the day, Randy had also seen the latest report from Kris.
As long as it involved bullying Carrie, Kris was thrilled.
Kris had arrived at school early today and, while no one was paying attention, sprayed "Bloody Mary—Carrie" on Carrie's locker, making sure everyone knew the nickname.
With her relentless efforts, Carrie's bathroom mishap was now known throughout the school.
Kris also mentioned the Clown.
"I pinned the blame for the three incidents on that Clown! I told the students that it was because of sensing Carrie, the freak, that the Clown started causing trouble again! Moreover, anyone who gets close to Carrie or tries to be friends with her will be captured and eaten by the Clown!"
Kris also dragged Carrie's mother into it. The whole town knew that Margaret was an extreme religious fanatic, so why was she so cold towards Carrie? It was because Carrie was a demon! Her mother sensed it!
In short, with Kris leading the charge, various rumors began to spread wildly throughout the school within just one morning.
Some said Carrie was a lesbian, stealing strands of hair from female classmates.
Others claimed Carrie had once asked a man for help to lose her virginity, but he refused.
Bullying is easily infectious, especially when the victim is particularly weak and unable to defend themselves, reacting not at all to attacks!
This further provokes people's malice. Even if teachers intervene, it only drives the bullying underground.
"It seems that the Satanic cultists are gathering at school."
Randy just observed these developments without commenting.
In truth, he did recognize Kris's skills—she was indeed adept at inciting crowds.
Of course, not everyone supported the bullying. For example, Kris's best friend, Susie, was a saintly figure who had argued with Kris over Carrie's mistreatment, almost leading to a rift between them.
In the evening, while having a car rendezvous with her boyfriend, Tommy, Susie was somewhat distracted.
She believed Carrie was being bullied because no classmates pursued her.
Susie thought Carrie was very pretty but was too self-deprecating to lift her head, making no one notice her beauty.
So, someone needed to help Carrie regain her confidence!
Susie looked at her boyfriend, who was lying on the side and panting heavily, and tentatively asked, "Tommy, what do you think of Carrie?"
"I like you right now, babe."
"I'm asking you seriously!"
Tommy looked up, puzzled: "Carrie, that freak?"
He frowned, recalling that she had blonde hair and wore very old-fashioned clothes, always bundled up even in the summer, walking with her head down.
"I've heard several rumors about her today. Some say she's a witch, some say she's Bloody Mary. There are even stories linking her to the recent incidents, and some more outrageous ones claim she dons leather and a mask at night, dyes her hair purple, and fights crime in New York. Ha…"
Tommy almost laughed at this.
Susie was angry: "No, those are just Kris's rumors. I think Carrie is really pitiful!"
"Alright, she is indeed quite pitiful."
"Then would you be willing to approach her and befriend her?"
Tommy looked at her with wide eyes: "What?"
He thought his girlfriend was setting him up, but shouldn't the test target be Kris? Why Carrie?
"I'm serious, Tommy. Carrie doesn't have any friends. If you, as the school heartthrob, pursue her…"
Tommy was confused: "Wait, are you saying you want to break up with me?"
"No, can't you understand? Our relationship won't change, but I need you to pursue Carrie, show her that she's worth being loved, and help her regain her confidence."
If a school loser suddenly received attention from a popular student, it would definitely change people's perceptions of him.
Susie felt she was being exceptionally kind, selflessly offering her boyfriend to help a bottom-feeding individual. Carrie would surely be grateful.
As a high-profile person, she thought it was a big deal to help someone at the very bottom.
This made her feel even more superior and also win a good reputation.
But Tommy was still hesitant. Although he didn't bully others, he knew that people like Carrie were usually very sensitive, and excessive contact might cause them to panic.
Susie continued: "I hope at the prom, you can be Carrie's date. With your popularity at school, you'll definitely change everyone's view of Carrie."
"Uh…"
Under Susie's strong insistence, Tommy finally agreed.
"Then starting tomorrow, you need to make Carrie feel cared for."
"Okay, but I'll have to plan it carefully because I'm afraid of scaring her."
"How could that be? With a popular figure like you pursuing her, she'll definitely go crazy. Maybe you'll even become her idol. It's just a pity she gets you."
Tommy was speechless, not knowing what else to say.
