“Branch [Parasitic School] has been completed.
Rewards:
Medium-sized clue (Derry Town’s Water Pollution). Please look for it at the home of the host body. There will be obvious clue props on the scene.
The probability of obtaining the ‘Fate Card’ in the final reward has been increased.
Got a rare live reward – ‘Perfect Parasite’
The community will fully lift the blockade in five minutes! All the damage caused to the community during the execution of the branch event will be repaired.”
The medium-sized side quest of the [Parasitic School] has been completed, and judging from the system’s prompts, the rewards are quite substantial.
But Han Dong was not satisfied…
At the end of the event, Han Dong had a double thought the moment he saw Bella with the red balloon in her mouth.
How can Bella be saved?
If [1] cannot be achieved, how to get the best solution?
The first thought couldn’t be answered in a short period of time, as the balloon would explode on touch, making it impossible to remove.
Decisive.
Han Dong placed his right palm on the back of Bella’s head.
Before the balloon exploded, he used tentacles to remove the perfect parasites in her brain.
This was the optimal solution.
Afterwards, Han Dong naturally took out the delicate metal syringe and took a bit of the ‘Cell Essence’ from the giant host body.
“Han Dong… Are you okay?”
Chen Li had done a detailed search around the area in advance. After confirming that the clown had left, she regrouped with Han Dong.
“I’m fine, a second-prize.”
“What second-prize.”
“The ending of this [Parasitic School] event is second in my anticipated results… It’s such a pity that we fell short of success! Help me to Bella’s house. Find a fine needle, help me pick out the dead parasites from my body.”
“Okay…”
The feeling Han Dong gives to people now is completely different from before… Chen Li even faintly smelled a kind of primitive evil air from Han Dong.
“Are you alright?”
“Still okay…”
Han Dong had contained his anger, his expression calm.
The fusion state of his right arm had been lifted. He went to Bella’s house with Chen Li’s support.
Five minutes later, the community restriction lifted.
All the buildings, trees, street lights, and hydrants destroyed by the host body were completely recovered.
Bella’s completely destroyed home had also been restored to its original state, and even the dishes on the dining table were still hot.
However, when they entered Bella’s house this time, the humidity was
significantly heavier.
Following the source of the humidity, they arrived at Bella’s bedroom.
A typical middle school girl’s room with a pile of cute dolls at the head of the bed, star posters on the walls, and a lot of 90s song tapes on the desk.
The humidity came directly from the center of the desk.
A damp diary.
With his naked eye, he could see the dark wave-like aura spreading out from the book.
This was the medium-sized clue corresponding to the [Parasitic School] event…
Han Dong speculated that the diary recorded how [Bella] became the host body, which might have something to do with the sewer in Derry Town.
Scene switching. “The Clown’s Party”
A hidden event.
The reason why Cass and others spent so long inside was that the party duration was set to 24 hours.
As ‘guests’ in the party, they needed to participate in every scary activity in the party.
Some activities just needed to be conducted according to the rules and posed no danger… some activities required a long time to decipher, and incorrect deciphering would trigger traps.
Luckily, the clown who hosted the party only supervised all the time. As long as they did not violate the activity rules, he would not intervene.
At the end of the party.
The clown – Pennywise personally delivered a thank you gift to everyone.
Because all the team members were present and none of them were injured.
At the first chance of receiving the thank you gift.
The team of three people used the plan they had prepared before to attack the clown at the same time.
With the Holy Light Barrier and metal handcuffs, they quickly restrained the clown… Captain Cass seized the opportunity and stabbed the clown in the forehead with a sword. No liquid splattered,
No scream was heard,
The clown who was hit exploded like a balloon…
Bang!
The balloon burst.
The three of Cass panicked for a while before leaving the ruined building. The team station is back at the first street position where they met the ‘fake Han Dong’… they had no idea what method the clown used.
The 24-hour party experience was like a dream, but Cass was holding the clown’s thank you gift in his hands.
Following his memory, he followed the path that the ‘fake Han Dong’ had led… but he could no longer find the [Broken House] where the party was held, even the street that housed this house no longer existed.
“The old house where the party was, and the mysterious street that can block the signal, don’t seem to exist in Derry Town… We can only get there with the clown’s guidance.
The four-star difficulty fate event is really terrifying.
Luckily, this hidden event is mainly ‘activities’, so the difficulty is not so great.”
The three of them returned to the starting point, ready to find a safe enemy and check the hidden rewards.
“I wonder how Aron is doing?
We have delayed an entire day’s time in the hidden event, he was alone, he should not have rashly handled the [Parasitic Event] in the school, should he?
Let’s go and regroup with him.”
Just as Cass sent a message,
The door of a residential building next to him opened, and the person who came out was Han Dong.
“Huh? What a coincidence…
Han Dong also just heard the system prompt – ‘Teammate returned, event difficulty readjusted’, so he went out to have a look, but unexpectedly bumped into them.
However, Cass and the others were looking at him warily.
Using special protective goggles, Koslin conducted a series of tests on Han Dong.
Cass quickly explained: “Aron, sorry… we ran into an ‘impostor’ before, we need to check whether you are the real deal.”
“Is that so?” Han Dong did not care.
He also examined his three teammates with the ‘Concealed Eye’.
“No problem, it’s him.
On hearing Koslin’s confirmation, Cass awkwardly walked up, hugging Han Dong tightly with his arm.
“We accidentally triggered a hidden event and only had a minute to consider, so we didn’t have time to notify you… It’s really sorry to leave you out there alone.
Did the parasites in the school give you any trouble?”
Confronting Cass’s solicitude, Han Dong noticed the special gift box in Cass’s hand at the first time.
“Is this the reward for the hidden event?”
“Yes… I was just about to contact you, find a safe place to check the reward.” Han Dong immediately suggested, “Come to my house, then we can collate the clues we’ve collected so far. There might be some correlation between the different clues, which may allow us to deduce some important information.”
Cass looked puzzled: “Well… Isn’t there only one clue? How can they be related?”
Han Dong hurriedly added:
“Oh, I forgot to mention.
In the time that you guys were doing the hidden mission, I first completed a small side quest.
After that, I also dealt with the [Parasitic School] event by taking advantage of the ‘Single-Player Mode.’
I now have one small and one medium, two clues.”
When Han Dong took out the ‘Comedy Gift Box’ and the ‘Water-soaked Diary’ ,
The expressions on Cass’s faces had completely frozen, not knowing what words to use to describe their current mood….
