Chapter 597: Chapter 597: Beginning
If it weren’t for the Holy City’s strict restrictions on [True Fate].
Han Dong might have directly walked the path of Mr. Black White and the Clockmaker, traveling alone to the Fate Space… After all, Han Dong himself is a team.
His old comrades who experienced the [Fog Chapter] together.
Apart from Cass who can keep up with Han Dong’s pace, Sophia and Koslin are both ordinary graduates.
It would be unlikely for them to receive a “recommendation letter” from the team leader at the beginning of their membership, nor to survive the incredibly difficult [Other Chapter].
However, considering the [Multi-Team Mode], having two powerful teammates joining can to some extent offset the potential threat from other small teams.
Han Dong, who had only slept for six hours, woke up from his dreams without the slightest hint of sleepiness… The upcoming Fate event has great significance for Han Dong personally, not even inferior to Breaking the Breed.
The bathtub was filled with hot water.
Han Dong slowly soaked his thin body, allowing slightly tight nerves to relax.
His arms were resting on the handles of the tub, staring at the ceiling.
Han Dong had always been concerned about one issue.
Chain events.
The conclusion of the Fog Chapter inevitably influences the plot of the Other Chapter.
“The conclusion that the clown was taken back to Other Derry Town will to a certain extent influence the course of the whole Other Chapter plot.
If there are multiple teams that have completed the plot of the Fog Chapter, their order should be ahead of mine.
They have simply fulfilled the main requirement of [Eliminating Pennywise], they should have only killed the clown’s fake body, or just killed the clown within Fog Derry Town.
But the clown Pennywise has already ‘clownified’ all the townsfolk in Fog Derry Town.
According to the clown’s inexhaustible methods, even if his true body dies, he could still resurrect through the bodies of the townsfolk, pre-arranged bodies, or by the power of local legends.
The ending I created for the Fog Chapter, on the other hand, involves a high-ranking figure in Other Derry Town directly binding and restraining the clown’s true body, taking it directly back to Other Derry Town, so there is no such thing as resurrection.
Therefore, the Fog Chapter should no longer be open to the outside, and the plot of the Other Chapter should be a continuation of the ending I created.
The Clockmaker mentioned beforehand that the energy chart fluctuations of the Other Chapter are unusual, which also indirectly confirms this point.
But looking at this piece of information, we have an advantage over other teams… However, the overall strength of the teams cannot be determined.
Teams that are strong enough to defeat Pennywise head-on in the Fog Chapter world are naturally also powerful.
There are just too many [Variables], without enough information, one can only devise some superficial plans… Let’s take it slow.”
During Han Dong’s contemplation.
Sizzle~
The incandescent bathroom light flickered slightly.
The colour shifted from white to red, and the smell of blood filled the air… Unexpectedly, a terrifying man with a conical metal eye protector over his eyes, his red lips curved up, and black hair neatly brushed at his shoulders, appeared in front of the bathroom cabinet.
“Nicholas, the fellow you speak of, who shares the same manic laughter trait as me, I hope he won’t disappoint me.
I came to the area where you humans gain power with great interest, so don’t get killed in one hit.”
“Don’t worry, he will definitely satisfy you…”
“That’s good then, if the target is strong enough, I will lend you as much power as I can… The combination of the power of demons and the taste of Blood Brew, isn’t that comforting?”
Han Dong just smiled without giving any response.
……
“The matchmaking time is left with the last thirty minutes, and you will be inspected by the transfer station staff. Due to the plot’s restrictions, each of you can carry equipment no more than [Two] pieces, and carrying any one-time potions is prohibited.”
A staff member with a face full of black lines pushed the door and entered.
This kind of restriction is somewhat similar to the Knight’s Convention.
Of course, Han Dong chose to retain ‘Crow Traveler (Epic)’ and ‘Bone Feather Garment (Fine)’.
Cass retained his heavy sword and large shield.
The only things Diana kept were a special material bodysuit and an unobtrusive prop… She didn’t carry any weapons or tools with her.
Exhale…
All members take a deep breath.
Time’s up.
Dozens of arms rose from the floor of the room, pulling the three of them into the muddy ground below… officially starting the plot of “Clown’s Resurrection: Inside Story”.
“Clown’s Resurrection (Inside Story)”
Introduction: Derry Town in Maine, USA, is a town formed by the loggers during the colonial period, peaceful and idyllic, with only one exception – the number of missing children and deaths in this town, far exceeding the national average by six times.
A group of brave young people used their wisdom and courage to find and defeat the evil clown hiding in the dark corner of the town.
However… is that really the end?
[Category]: Mystery
[Scope]: Medium-Small (two teams participating)
[Chaos Coefficient]: 8.1 (high, multiple main lines twisted due to irregular factors, corresponding to multiple endings)
[Basic Requirements]: Obtain the “Permanent Residence Permit of Other Derry Town”.
Once the basic requirements are met, you can leave and settle the current fate event, and at least get one [Talent Point] as a basic reward.
(You can only choose to exit in a non-combat state (not subject to any weird lock) or certain safe places.)
Only teams that have perfectly cleared the “Clown’s Resurrection” will receive the “extremely rare rewards” corresponding to the chain event.
…
The events of the previous chapter flashed quickly in front of Han Dong’s eyes like a revolving lantern.
As if reviewing the past.
With the clown pulled into the cracked wall by the dreadful singing woman, a red balloon left in the underground area floated right in front of Han Dong’s eyes.
Pop!
The balloon burst, and the review ended.
Han Dong woke up from a dream-like state, and he was in a large lecture hall.
The bald teacher was talking quickly about the fluid mechanics knowledge of the turbulent field, a bit rapidly.
In the sparse classroom sat less than thirty people, and most of the students looked blank or were muttering to themselves, not focusing on the lecture at all as if they all had something troubling them.
Han Dong immediately spotted Diana and Cass, who had just woken up in different areas of the classroom… Considering that there might be other teams in the classroom, the three pretended not to know each other for the time being.
“This is not Derry Town… Has the scenario expanded?”
The textbook and the corner of the solid wood desk were both stamped with the school emblem of Bates College, a fairly famous liberal arts college in Maine.
And Derry Town, which corresponds to the Clown’s Resurrection, has at most a local high school.
“Uh… Ah!!”
The physics teacher on the podium suddenly turned purple, a hand clutching his throat, making a low wheezing sound of airway obstruction.
His body shivered non-stop, feeling like the whole body was frozen.
All of a sudden,
Whoosh~~
A terrifying hand extended from the cotton padded coat of the physics teacher.
Its fingers gripped his face and forcefully pulled him inside the coat. In front of the whole class, he disappeared… The strange aura lingering in the classroom also disappeared with him.
As for the situation in front of them, the students were indifferent… just discussing their own matters.
Han Dong stared at the scene in front of him and couldn’t help but mutter: “Is it this intense right from the start?”
