“Togu… Of all people, it’s this guy. I’m afraid he’ll destroy more than half of my amusement park.”
He stared at the man with a saw blade embedded in his face.
The clown’s facial twitched slightly as a thin tongue emerged from his mouth, licked a circle around his face as if involved in some peculiar thinking.
“The residents of Old Derry Town? Roughly what level are they?”
As Han Dong stared at the man through the peephole in the door, his mind instinctively sounded a danger warning.
The clown on the side extended his hand, indicating a small length with his index finger and thumb.
“Probably… just a bit stronger than me, just a smidge!”
“Stronger than you?”
The clown-Pennywise is the boss of this four-star difficulty fate event.
“My intimacy level with the clown has been upgraded to ‘neutral’ because of this incident, so I could even peacefully coexist with the clown in Derry Town with my team if the mainline didn’t compel it.
So, the probability of the clown lying is quite low.
Why would a major side story spawn a force stronger than the mainline boss?
Is the variability of the Fate Space that high?
Or is it that the wheels of fate began to turn when I started having ‘friendly’ contact with the clown, which changed the course of the mainline?”
Han Dong started to get curious about the nature of the ‘Fate Space’.
It seemed as though it could predict the future, it knew very well that Han Dong would establish a ‘normal’ relationship with the clown.
This relationship would make the original mainline plot unable to proceed normally, many allow Han Dong and his team to ‘cheat’ their way through… The Fate System would then immediately alter the essence of the event.
Not just the branch line, but it also meddles with the mainline directly, swapping out a whole new boss.
“Hey! What are you thinking about?” The clown interrupted Han Dong’s thoughts, “Take these balloons and fill them with air. Stuff them in the exit to effectively fill the damaged parts.
If you have any other ways to repair the exit, use them all.
We must, absolutely, absolutely must, repair the exit.”
“Hmm… So where do we regroup?”
The clown pointed at Bella, the girl in the white coat, saying:
“I will try to buy as much time as possible. This little parasite should be able to find the entrance to the sewer, right? Once you repair the exit, return to New Derry Town immediately and regroup with your buddies.
Take the ‘old camera’ you got earlier, take some photos at the intersection of Breen Street and Grice Street, you should be able to reveal a hidden street that I’ve concealed.
Wait for me in the ‘clown house’ in there.
We must find a way to kill that bastard ‘Togu’, otherwise my ‘reconstruction plan’ is doomed.”
Talking up to here, the clown started to make some weird moves again.
Both hands clasping his head,
With his body still, he twisted his head several times.
Click~ Click~ Click~ It felt like winding up a coil.
He did a warm-up this way.
After warming up, the clown explained briefly:
“Due to the ‘prime’ environment of ‘Old Derry Town’, and it’s quite different from the outside, he is still adapting to the middle layer… I’ll go distract him.”
Underground area – the exit.
This man, with a saw blade embedded in his face, had been standing here for two days and nights.
Even though the exit was damaged to some extent.
It was still incredibly difficult for him to enter the middle layer from the [Other].
Currently at the crack of the exit, strands of red ashes were continually seeping out, building up this man’s body, an entity from purgatory.
Only a half of his right foot was left to be constructed.
Scorching heat.
Approaching within three meters of this person, you could feel an obvious heat wave.
His pure black eyes stared straight ahead, his hands behind his back, he stood there as still as a statue.
Sometime later.
A clown’s box appeared in front of him.
The gift box came with an audio device.
“Open me up fast! Open me up fast! If you don’t open me up, I’ll get angry!”
However, this man didn’t even spare a glance at the gift box on the ground.
The fingers behind his back twitched slightly.
A ‘Miniature Lava Pit’ formed under the box, causing the clown gift box to meld into the magma. The bomb device inside hadn’t had a chance to activate before it was melted by the extreme heat.
At the same time, a red balloon slowly floated from the other end of the corridor.
Pop!
When it got within five meters, the balloon burst because of the sudden increase in temperature.
“Ta-da! Togu, long time no see!”
As the clown warmly greeted, he swiftly threw over a dozen knives.
Cling, cling, cling!
The clear sound of metal colliding.
The knives landing on the ground bent from the severe impact.
The man called Togu, with a body as hard as steel, was completely unflinching in the face of this attack. He didn’t even blink.
“Togu! Hiss~ It’s been so long. Did you get even uglier? Your bald hairstyle doesn’t suit you at all. I told you to get a hair transplant, but you didn’t listen to me.”
As the clown spoke, he directly pulled out an explosive wig from his mouth and precisely threw it onto Togu’s head.
“Haha! Not bad, this hairstyle suits you… You look a little less ugly.”
Such mockery made Togu’s eyes twitch slightly. He slightly tilted his head to look at the clown.
The wig on his head melted due to the high temperature.
“Penny…Wise…” With these four words spoken from Togu’s mouth, his body transformation was completed. He fully adapted to the environment of [The Sewers].
Immediately, a wave of heat filled the entire tunnel.
“Aww! Someone’s got quite a temper, gotta bounce!”
The clown hurriedly escaped using his grasshopper-like legs to find a foothold on the wall.
Togu slowly bent his body to 45 degrees, with his head, neck, spine, and legs all aligned.
He took a step forward with his right leg, making an exaggerated starting position for running.
Buzz! His speed wasn’t much slower than the clown’s.
A fiery path was left on the ground. Togu seemed to have become completely enraged by the earlier incident, or perhaps he was just inherently dissatisfied with the clown.
Once the path of fire was extinguished on its own,
Han Dong and the other two immediately came out of the [Safehouse] to carry out the second step of the side mission – fixing the [Exit].
“This is… the exit!? So many mutant monsters were sacrificed, and this is all the destruction they caused?”
At the end of the tunnel.
Monster corpses made by the Mutant Doctor, all piled up here, almost to a thousand. Regrettably, they had long since died, and it was too late to extract their Cell Essence.
These misunderstood creatures were brought here for one purpose only… to destroy the exit.
As for the [Exit] itself, it was a wall covered in black runes.
There were three cracks in total, and one had the width of a thumb.
“Hurry up!”
Three of them started to blow up balloons at the same time!
Once an inflated balloon got close to a crack, it would be automatically sucked in and fill about one centimeter of the crack.
The initial fixing went smoothly, without any obstructions.
Just as Han Dong was about to fix the largest crack, an indescribable cold sensation swept through his body!
The source was from inside the crack, which is the other side of the exit.
Looking through the thumb-width crack, Han Dong saw an eye… it looked like an eye that had been soaked in water for a long time.
At the same time.
Strands of black hair were continuously flowing out of the crack.
“The second resident of [Other]!!!”
