Ding Ding Ding! (Alarm Clock Ringing)
When Han Dong opened his eyes, he found himself in a single bedroom.
On the wall were some foreign movie posters from the ’80s.
A few eighth-grade foreign language textbooks were piled up on the desk.
A comic called [Monster Moray] was on the bedside table.
“Because it matches the movie ‘The Return of the Clown’, our ages have been reduced accordingly… Destiny Space is really special!”
Han Dong who turned off the alarm quickly got up and stood in front of the mirror.
He had reverted back to his young look around 14 years old, or more precisely, to the 14-year-old version of [Valen. Nicholas], who was also small, thin and short.
The first thing Han Dong did was ‘inspect his whole body’.
To make sure his powers were not impaired.
“Ghoul Arm”
“Plague Control”
In addition, going to and coming out of prison was also unaffected.
Han Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the compression of age would affect the ‘Faceless Skull’.
If this cheat-like power couldn’t be used, Han Dong’s survival rate would greatly decrease.
On the other hand, Fate Equipment had been simplified.
Han Dong found two key pendants on his waist, one was a short sword, the other was a pair of boots.
A simplified device is only a fifth of the original size. As long as Han Dong touched it and drove it by thought, he can control the Fate Equipment between the original and simplified versions.
A very convenient usage method.
“Everything is normal, much better than expected.”
At this time, a familiar system voice echoed in Han Dong’s mind:
[Identity Explanation]
Name: Valen. Nicholas.
Age: 14
Introduction: Studying in Derry Town Basic Middle School. Grade 8 Class 2.
Related memory information importing…
All memories from his birth to his life in Derry Town at the age of 14 were poured into Han Dong’s brain.
Such a huge amount of data, if dumped into the brain of the stupid boxer from the prison opening, would simply explode.
However, there was no pressure for Han Dong.
When the memory infusion was completed, Han Dong fully integrated into the movie character, so whenever he interacted and talked with any residents in Derry Town, it didn’t feel at all out of place.
“If I’m not wrong, Cass and the others should also be in their respective homes… According to the movie plot, we should all be studying at the same school.”
Han Dong sent a message to Cass using a clockwork device.
This communications device based on the magic array is even more useful than the mobile phone Han Dong had in his previous life.
Sure enough, he quickly received a message from Cass that confirmed Han’s idea.
In the same mode for the opening, everyone would follow their student identity and attend school normally without any abnormal behavior.
After gathering at school, they would discuss where to start checking, how to inspect, how to deal with emergencies, etc.
Han Dong’s family was middle class in Derry Town.
Their house was a two-story building with exquisite decoration. His father’s outfits match his businessman identity.
As Han Dong descended the stairs, a brown-haired mother had already prepared a lavish breakfast of ham omelets coupled with milk and cornflakes.
“I’m going to school!”
With the support of memories, all of Han Dong’s actions appeared very natural.
However, just in the instant he bid farewell to his parents and shut the house door.
Han Dong’s gaze shifted from his parents, who were idly chatting at the dining table, to the base of the table.
A [Red Balloon] was floating there.
Click! The door was shut behind Han Dong, a crease appeared on his forehead.
“This soon?”
Han Dong, having seen the movie “The Clown Revival”, understood very well the implication of the red balloon.
He instantly heightened his awareness and also asked Miss Chen Li to be vigilant about the surrounding situation.
Since a red balloon has been seen so early, it means that he’s already being targeted by the master villain of this event – [Pennywise].
He rode his bicycle, heading quickly to the school four kilometers away.
As he cycled through the tree-shaded lanes of Derry Town, taking in the long-absent fresh air, Han Dong suddenly reminisced about some experiences from his past life.
“Cycling to school, the familiar feeling I haven’t felt in a long time…”
On thinking of this, Han Dong shook his head vigorously.
“No! I can’t fully immerse myself into it, the compression of age and the filler of memories may accidentally cause me to completely immerse into the character, even develop feelings for this town, and be unable to make the correct decisions at crucial times.”
During the ten-plus minute bike ride, Han Dong noticed a lot of ‘abnormal’ scenes.
Missing person posters stuck on utility poles and trash cans, Empty and spiritless elderly people sitting in yards,
Curfew notices pasted on the doors of each and every household,
All these images linked together, making this seemingly peaceful and tranquil town feel eerie.
Derry Town Basic Middle School.
The school buildings were primarily made of red bricks, the top was designed in a triangular form, laid with green-blue rainproof tiles.
Being the only middle school in Derry Town, it occupied a large area. Apart from the main teaching building, there were also two laboratory buildings, a library, a sports field, a canteen, and five student dormitories.
It was even better than some third-tier universities.
Nicholas’s body still appeared short among the middle school students.
Through his memory, he found his own locker in the corridor.
Referring to the timetable stuck inside the locker, he collected his textbooks and headed to the corresponding classroom area.
With the implanting of memories, Han Dong integrated into this rural high school atmosphere in an instant.
Quite a number of people had already gathered in the relatively spacious classroom.
Cass and the others had arrived early.
It appears that the ages of the three of them had all been reduced to around 14, and they were even set as classmates.
The 14-year-old Cass was as handsome as ever, although his height clearly decreased and his skin turned even smoother… if he were to dress in women’s clothing and wear a wig, nobody would doubt his gender.
Short Koslin changed the least, maintaining almost the same height and appearance as before.
The one who had changed the most was the only female in the team.
At 14 years old, Sophia turned into a young blonde Iolita, her soft and watery rounded face, delicate features, and golden curly hair made her incredibly cute.
However, her body seemed to have matured earlier and had fully developed at this age.
In comparison to other female students in the class, Sophia…
It seemed like Sophia was also aware of her own ‘features’, her face turned a shade redder when she saw her teammates.
Even some upperclassmen who passed by would steal glances at her.
However, Han Dong didn’t react much towards this scene… to the point where Han Dong began to question himself for a moment…
Or maybe it was related to his main body.
If there was a sensual clump of mucus present currently, perhaps Han Dong would…
Seeing Han Dong’s arrival, Cass quickly approached to ask:
“Aron, did you see a red balloon too?”
