Chapter 596: Chapter 596: In-depth Understanding
24 hours of layover time.
At most, only ten hours of sleep and rest are needed.
The remaining fourteen hours are dedicated to enjoying the services of the transit station and communicating with teammates.
As Han Dong turned his head to look at Diana, he realized this young girl sitting in the corner was making some special preparations.
“Cass, you’re better looking than me… go and talk to her. This girl seems to have some issues with me.”
“You’re the team leader, and the following arrangements also need you, what use is it if I talk to her?
Go ahead… besides, it’s not right for me, a married man, to intentionally strike up a conversation.”
“Alright.”
Han Dong isn’t very good at communicating. Generally, when it comes to cooperating with strangers, he builds the first layer of relationship via strength.
Han Dong purposely brought a freshly grilled slab of beef brain, trying to start a conversation with food.
Just as he got within a two-meter radius, the girl’s voice echoed out:
“… can I have a piece of beef bone?”
“Sure.”
Han Dong immediately de-boned the entire chunk of t-bone steak and handed it to the girl.
As he handed over the beef bone, he saw clearly the girl’s ‘preparation’ – using a cleaning agent to lubricate all the bones in her body.
Of course, it wasn’t applied directly in her body.
Instead, each bone was removed from the body, slowly rubbed and polished… Such a sight, if encountered by ordinary people at night, would undoubtedly cause fainting.
“Thank you.”
The girl who received the beef bone easily crushed it into powder using her abnormally tough teeth, swallowed it to reinforce the bone energy in her body, and also filled her stomach.
“Can I ask you a question?” The girl who had her fill surprisingly initiated a conversation.
“Hmm.”
“Why do you know the Clockmaker? Even when I used to follow Uncle Curran to the Bell Tower, I never had the chance to communicate with the Clockmaker.”
“My teacher has a good relationship with the Clockmaker.”
“So… is the Clockmaker a real person or a mechanical creature?”
“Perhaps both, I don’t know the specifics.”
“Oh.”
Upon receiving her answer, Diana stopped talking and continued to polish every bone in her body.
“Ahem… Diana, you haven’t experienced ‘Clown Revival’ with us. Since we have time now, how about I tell you about the clown and Derry Town?
The Other Derry town we’re about to visit is an extremely dangerous area.”
Upon hearing about the Fate event, Diana immediately ‘inserted’ her ribs back into her body – just placing the bone near the corresponding surface of the skin was enough for it to automatically enter under the skin and connect to its corresponding position.
“Go ahead, I’ll listen carefully.”
As Han Dong narrated the incidents of “Clown Revival: Surface Chapter” that he and his group experienced.
Upon hearing of how the clown could disguise as squad members, control every villager in the town, and spread red balloons all over to interfere with everyone’s mind and even create illusions
Diana often sneaked glances at Han Dong with her deep black eyes, finding it hard to believe that Han Dong, who was still an Apprentice Knight, could deal with such a terrifying entity.
And yet, still due to the chained event, Han Dong slowly exposed the secrets of Derry town and the Other world in the process… The clown was merely a runaway resident of the Other World, and the real Other Derry Town was home to many entities just as terrifying as the clown, and even those that the clown couldn’t resist.
The singing…
The conclusion of Clown Revival: Surface Chapter given by Han Dong.
The terrifying woman’s singing and countless arms reaching out from cracks, even the muscular clown had no ability to resist, and was directly pulled back into the Other Derry Town.
“You…”
Diana couldn’t believe that Han Dong cleared the Surface Chapter in such a dangerous way… But under the circumstances where everyone was powerless against the clown at the time, this was perhaps the most ‘secure’ way to clear the chapter.
“Anyway, it was a desperate clearance of the Surface Chapter, needless to say the difficulty of the Other Chapter.
Moreover, the Other world resident who was ‘enslaved’ by me erased all memories of Other Derry Town after being enslaved, so we have to explore the true situation inside by ourselves.”
Having said that.
Han Dong immediately released Togu.
When Togu, dressed in a black long leather coat and with a head adorned with saw blades, appeared, it also made Diana become vigilant.
All memories of Other Derry Town had been erased from Togu’s mind.
“Enslavement… how did you manage that?”
Diana didn’t understand this at all and couldn’t figure out which profession can enslave the lives in the Fate Space and even bring them back to reality, no matter how hard she searched her knowledge.
Obviously.
Han Dong couldn’t possibly accumulate that many points to purchase such a powerful fate creature.
“Everyone has their unique traits.
Just like how Abe can control the Hundred Beasts, Dumps is proficient in all types of magic and can also do close combat, you also possess the unique ‘Bone System’ trait.
How about this?
I’ll trade my ‘Enslave’ trait information for your ‘Bone System’ trait information?”
Han Dong successfully guided the conversation towards the secret of personal power.
Only by learning deeply about this girl can Han Dong form a foolproof plan.
In fact, Diana was very particular about keeping her power a secret and didn’t want to share.
But at this time, some words from Captain Curran echoed in Diana’s mind…
“Fine… but… we have to go to a separate room.”
When it came to her own secrets, Diana seemed a little shy, or perhaps she needed to demonstrate her abilities in person.
“Alright.”
Just like that, after a little chat, the two went to a separate bedroom.
This caught Cass, who was on the balcony, completely off guard… for a moment, the two-word evaluation that others often had of Han Dong floated into his mind.
…
A man and a woman alone in a bedroom for a whole two hours.
The first to come out was Diana.
She was slightly panting, and the cloak she had used to cover her body was nowhere to be seen… She also chose to go to the bathroom for a body wash as soon as she left the room.
About three minutes later, Han Dong slowly walked out with the support of the wall.
For those who are unaware, they might think something happened between the two of them.
In reality, when it’s not easy to use words to explain abilities, opting for ‘Real Combat’ to explain directly… fortunately it wasn’t a real fight, otherwise, Han Dong might have indeed suffered serious injuries.
“Now I understand another reason why Captain Hugo sent me to the Night Watchman’s Headquarters… This girl is indeed worth pulling into the squad. And not just against the monsters in the Fate Space.
In real fate situations like this ‘Squad Mode’, there will inevitably be conflicts with other squads due to interest issues in the future.
Our Diana, who specializes in ‘dealing with people,’ will be a great weapon for our team.”
