Chapter 113: Chapter 113: The Clown’s Power
Translator: 549690339
Han Dong’s intuition was correct.
The extreme choices he made were also correct.
If he hadn’t come into contact with the ultimate boss of [The Return of the Clown (Surface Chapter)].
Han Dong wouldn’t possibly have understood the concepts of [Surface] and [Other] in such a short period of time.
Generally speaking.
If he had followed the regular way of clearing the game, gathering ‘clues’ continuously from various side events and gradually exploring, it would only be after finally defeating the clown that he might glimpse some concepts concerning [Other].
Of course, the prerequisite of ‘defeating the clown’… the difficulty is self-evident.
To fully unlock [Clown’s Resurrection (Inside Story)], one must wait until becoming a Formal Knight.
For such a high-value chain task, if one could know some information in advance, it would definitely be beneficial.
Furthermore.
From the ‘Derry Town-Dark History’ information that the clown ‘accidentally’ gave away.
To some extent, it shows that [Clown-Pennywise] was likely born in [Other], that is, Old Derry Town.
In old Derry Town, due to the influence of ‘dark history’, a group of lunatics were born.
Apart from the clown, there were many insane and terrifying individuals… some of these individuals were even more dangerous than the clown. If one were to delve deeper, it would certainly touch the root of this dark history.
Something Han Dong couldn’t possibly handle at this stage.
Therefore, Han Dong must strike a deal with the clown.
“I need to confirm something… You’re not planning to go to [Old Derry Town], are you?”
The clown pointed at Han Dong, laughing uproariously:
“Hahaha! Look at how nervous you are… I finally escaped from there, why would I run back?
At least, it’s not time to go back yet.
This time my objective is to understand the problem of the [Interlayer]. Apart from Bella, who was affected last time, many ordinary people in my New Derry Town have mutated due to the influence of the [Interlayer].
If this continues, the amusement park that I painstakingly built will be ruined by these guys.
Furthermore, I thought I’d take this opportunity to set up enough safe houses in the interlayer for future use.
When I have enough confidence in the future, I’ll return to my hometown… and kill all those stupid dogs!”
When discussing this matter, the clown’s eyes darted around excitedly, and several tongues tied into a bow in his mouth.
“The monsters wandering in the [Interlayer]… they come from Old Derry Town?” Han Dong asked.
The clown immediately untied his knotted tongues and patiently explained to Han Dong:
“No… not just me, but many unfortunate souls wanted to leave Old Derry Town back then! Many of them escaped to the interlayer, but in the end, only I managed to find the [Entrance/Exit].
The complexity of the Interlayer is beyond your imagination.
Those unfortunate ones who didn’t find the entrance. Due to the curses they carried, and the influence of the terrifying whispers in Old Derry Town, they lost themselves in the sewers.
Some completely lost their way, their bodies could not maintain their original form, swelling and mutating into part of the interlayer.
Some chose suicide, their bodies, after decaying and dissolving, turned into individual entities with independent consciousness, lurking in the dark for prey.
Some were ailed by plagues too severe, their consciousness disappeared and turned into purely cursed objects.
All in all, those wandering here are a group of losers…However, even the losers from Old Derry Town could easily obliterate your team if they put their minds to it.”
Han Dong replied calmly,
“So, your objective, Clown, is to ‘clean up the losers,’ isn’t it? To reduce their impact on New Derry Town.”
The clown nodded, “Just about… mainly to eliminate the mutating sources attracting ordinary people within.”
At the same time, the clown, in a very friendly manner, patted Han Dong’s shoulder and said, “However, since you have a clear ‘system directive,’ just follow the directions to explore.
I haven’t been down here in a while, the road conditions and structure down here are certain to be different from my memory.
Also, if you follow the instructions. You will get the reward in the end, right?”
“Hmm…”
“Let’s decide then, since we are teaming up, everyone should gain something…
hahaha.”
Han Dong stared at the clown who was all smiles. It was hard to figure out his intentions, but he certainly could not let his guard down… he had to be careful with his actual maneuvers, he must reserve some power.
“Let’s go… find the map! I hope everything can be successfully completed before tonight.”
The clown, who had returned to his old place, was very excited. He took out his ‘weapon’ in front of Han Dong.
Rattle!
Following his sticky esophagus, he stretched his arm into his body, groping for something in his gastric sac.
“Ah… I haven’t fought for a long time, where did my fighting tool go?”
The clown looked puzzled, groping wildly inside his body, from the gastric sac to the small intestine, slowly to the colon.
Whoosh!
Accidentally.
His palm accidentally touched the outside of his body.
“Ouch, sorry for the embarrassment, wait a little longer.”
The arm was withdrawn back into the body.
After fumbling for a minute, he finally grabbed what the clown wanted from the left abdominal area.
Crack!
His jaw loosened.
Opening his mouth wide enough to get the secret weapon out of his body.
The body fluid was sticky.
With the drag of his arm, a large hammer was slowly pulled out of the mouth!
Watching this scene of ‘digging for treasure in the body’, Han Dong felt a little uncomfortable. This taste was too heavy.
A colorfully painted hammer, about two meters long, commonly seen in amusement parks, was slung over the clown’s shoulder.
If he got hit by such a hammer, Han Dong felt he might be insta-killed.
And such a hammer seemed to be just one of the tools inside the clown’s body.
Han Dong thought to himself, “The clown’s body is much larger than it appears, his interior is a whole other world… It’s an excellent opportunity to learn more about its special abilities during this cooperation, in order to counter it later.”
The clown waved his hand, “Let me lead the way… follow behind me!
I vaguely remember that the [central control room] is different from the normal staff rooms, it’s very special! As long as we follow the direction signs at the junction, we should be able to reach it smoothly.”
“Alright…
The clown added:
“I know you’re intentionally hiding some abilities to use against me in the following plot… However, I’d advise you not to hide too much. Otherwise, the things here will kill you in an instant, and I wouldn’t even have time to save you.”
“Okay, I’ll call a helper.”
Han Dong snapped his fingers.
Miss Chen Li appeared.
But due to her fear of the clown, Chen Li hid behind Han Dong as soon as she appeared.
“Not bad at all… I’ll give the lady a gift. If your body is directly exposed to the interlayer, there might be problems.”
Hiss-
The clown lived up to his name and tore off his own face.
The just-shed face instantly transformed into a special mask with a [white face and red lips].
The clown was unaffected, his efficient tissue regeneration allowed strands of flesh to reassemble and instantly form a new face..
