Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Looking for the Entrance
Translator: 549690339
Why cooperate with the clown? And even form a ‘peculiar duo’ to venture into the incredibly dangerous sewers?
There are mainly three reasons.
First, Han Dong finished reading the soaked diary, and at the end of it found a string of secret information!
Bella had several face-to-face encounters with the clown… Bella chose to flee to the hidden sewers in the school.
As long as she entered the sewer, she was able to escape the clown’s pursuit every time. The clown would only stand watch at the mouth of the well and never descend.
So, the clown genuinely fears the sewers, not just trying to trick Han Dong.
Secondly, without doing so, Koslin would lose his life.
No more chances to collaborate with the ultimate boss, let alone risk being a target of his rage.
It would be difficult for Han Dong and his remaining two teammates to find a breakthrough in Derry Town. They might end up like the previous Apprentice Knights who had been to Derry Town; gradually losing themselves or dying here.
Thirdly, if Han Dong can go to the hidden sewer area together with the clown.
That would mean Derry Town temporarily becomes an unmanaged game city… Cass and Sophia could, during this period, gain some genuinely useful clues.
Last is… intuition.
Han Dong’s intuition told him that this is the only correct way to advance the story at the moment.
They must think out of the box to complete [The Return of the Clown (Surface
Chapter)].
The third day in Fate Space.
Cass wakes up punctually at 07:30 due to his biological clock.
Sophia, sleeping on the big bed, is in deep sleep, still hugging the pillow. “Did Aron already wake up? I didn’t expect to be so tired that I didn’t even notice any movement next to me.”
Just as Cass stepped out of the bedroom and came down to the first-floor hall…
he was immediately attracted by something small on the table. A doll similar to Koslin was placed under the envelope.
The handwriting on it belonged to Han Dong.
“What’s the matter brother Cass?” Sophia slowly walked down the stairs, looking sleepy.
“Change your clothes, get ready to launch carpet-style exploration of [Derry Town], collect as many clues as possible! During this vacuum period, we can’t waste what Aron has fought for us.”
Sophia was confused: “Vacuum period? What happened to Andwa?”
“He went to the sewer area with [Clown-pennywise], so Derry Town will be completely empty for a while.
We must seize this time to investigate everything about the clown and make the ultimate information exceed 50%.
If we can really get out alive this time, we must give the major part of the reward to Aron. He has sacrificed so much for our team.
“He and the clown… how is that possible?”
Sophia stared at Koslin doll on the table.
Thinking of the experiences of last night, she immediately understood something, “Could it be… the one who met up with us yesterday and left the party was!?”
“Yes, the clown disguised as Koslin, mixed in among the team. Fortunately, Aron discovered it, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable… I just can’t figure out how the apprentice knight managed to blend in with the boss.
From the content of the letter, it seems that Aron has a cooperative relationship with the clown.”
Also at the break of dawn.
The morning sun had just risen on the horizon.
Two special students were standing at the entrance of the Derry Town Basic Middle School.
Han Dong and the Clown were there (In Koslin’s appearance, just with red lips and a touch of white on the cheeks).
Why didn’t they directly enter the sewer last night?
It was written in the diary.
Bella usually entered the sewer between 08:00 -10:00… Only in special circumstances would she enter the sewer at other times, but she dare not stay long.
On top of that, the clown also mentioned… the sewers are most dangerous at night.
Thus, after the date last night.
Han Dong fell asleep directly on a bench on the roadside… while the clown sat on the bench across, not needing any rest.
The clown kept smiling all night, both hands resting on his knees, sitting upright and staring unblinkingly at the sleeping Han Dong. He sat like that throughout the night.
Another thing to note is that, due to the death of the parasitic host and the ‘repair’ of the school by Fate Space, the whole school was back to normal, without any changes.
The clown said, “The entrances to the sewers are concealed in the corners of the school, and they change daily…You go find them!”
After all, you’ve read Bella’s diary.
If you can find them, I’ll reward you with a balloon.”
“Okay.”
However, the diary did not mention any information about the location of the ‘entrance.’
Neither did it mention any pattern.
Bella first found the entrance when she was experiencing utmost despair, running around the school building and accidentally discovered the entrance to the sewer in an abandoned storeroom.
After she had become a parasite host, Bella located the entrances based solely on her instincts.
As it happened, Han Dong held the [Perfect Parasite] in his hand, using it as a compass; if he were close to the sewer entrance, he would receive some reaction.
Carrying the parasite, which looked like a fossil, in his pocket, he began his search for the entrance.
Nothing happened as he walked through the entire teaching building.
He had to continue his search in the ancillary buildings of the middle school… Eventually, when Han Dong was underneath the laboratory building, the parasitic body in his pocket slightly moved.
“It should be in this building!”
With every floor he ascended, the movements of the parasitic body grew more and more intense.
“The entrance to the sewer is on the top floor!?” Han Dong was somewhat perplexed.
Since it’s a sewer, shouldn’t it be underground?
Such a strange design, however, also attested that the ‘mysterious sewer’ did not belong to Derry Town, but existed as an independent space.
Han Dong himself started to become more and more curious about the ‘sewer.’
Finally, he reached the door of the men’s restroom at the far end of the top floor!
From inside, there came the dripping sounds of water, which set the parasitic body in motion.
Left with no choice, Han Dong could only place the parasitic body in a prepared test tube of tempered glass.
“Good job… You found it so quickly! I’ll give you a small balloon.”
This was the third balloon Han Dong had received.
The size of the red balloon was adjustable, Han Dong was curious and asked, “What’s the use of this balloon?” “When you’re lost, pop it!”
“Ok.”
Han Dong shrunk the three balloons to the size of table tennis balls and hung them around his waist.
Unfortunately, as soon as the two entered the men’s restroom, they ran into a group of ‘delinquent youths’.
Pierced earlobes, nostrils, and tattooed middle school students just arrived there.
They were preparing to share some illegal stuff with their friends… these things were much more potent than cigarettes.
Seeing these two lower-grade students befall upon them, and notably, Han Dong and ‘Koslin’, petite as they were, were the typical targets of bullying.
“You two dwarfs, what are you doing here so early? Are you ‘lovers’, coming here to do something shameful? Haha… Since you found us, don’t think about leaving!”
Faced with this situation, Han Dong turned to the clown hopelessly:
“Don’t you control everyone in Derry Town?”
The clown was taken aback, “When did I say that? I control everyone? That’s so boring.
The more variables, the more realistic and interesting the game is. As for these sorts of trash, I wouldn’t even bother controlling them.”
“Who the hell are you calling trash!?”
The blond leader grabbed the clown by the collar and pushed him against the wall.
At that moment.
Scenes from the original movie “The Return of the Clown” flashed across Han Dong’s mind.
However, Han Dong felt that what was about to occur might be even more horrific than the scenes from the original film.
Truth be told, Han Dong didn’t want to watch… for fear of being traumatized..
