Pop!
Han Dong took out a red balloon from his waist, blew it up to a normal size, and then punctured it with his fingers.
Snap!
Directly from the burst balloon, a clown doll popped out, landing firmly on the ground.
“This way… this way… I’ll take you to meet the greatest Mr. Clown in the world!”
Han Dong had gradually adapted to the clown’s strange tricks.
Following this doll would lead him to the clown.
With a transparent long tail trailing behind and wearing a white lab coat, Bella, who was barefoot, was leading the way.
Strange as it may seem… Bella, revealing only her adorable tail in this outfit, was actually quite cute.
At this moment, Chen Li noticed that Bella, who wasn’t wearing any protective outerwear, was in direct contact with the air’s fire cores, and there was nothing unusual happening.
Chen Li quickly moved closer to Han Dong from behind and asked, “Shall I remove my mask? It’s quite uncomfortable…”
“Alright.’
Despite his fondness for her twin ponytails, Han Dong wouldn’t insist.
As she cupped her face with both hands and an eerie aura seeped into her skin, the clown mask slowly lifted off Chen Li’s face.
The hairstyle and outfit were switched back to the original…
Black hair, red clothes.
It seemed that this was the outfit that suited Chen Li the most.
“Give the mask to me… This thing should react when it’s near the clown.”
While handing over the mask, Chen Li asked, “Mr. Han Dong, do you plan to imprison this lady as well?”
Her words seemed ordinary, but carefully listening to her tone revealed a hint of discomfort.
“Well… that was indeed my initial plan.
But the situation is different now; I have another idea.’
“Hmm.”
Chen Li didn’t say anything more.
She, who had reverted to her original appearance, deliberately draped her black hair in front of her face, covering her features… This seemed to allow her to better perceive the surroundings.
Just as she was holding her vegetable knife, intentionally slowing her pace, and staying behind to guard the rear of the squad.
Snap–
Han Dong suddenly grabbed her wrist.
However, during this process, Han Dong’s eyes remained fixed on what was in front of him, his voice calm as he spoke:
“The current team leader isn’t the clown, so if we run into trouble, we’ll have to figure it out ourselves.
We should stay close to each other, to avoid being separated by any sudden incidents.”
“…Alright.”
Chen Li, her face hidden by her black hair, could not be read, but there was a hint of unease in her voice… so Han Dong held her hand the rest of the way.
Following that, Han Dong also voluntarily moved closer to Bella in front, reducing the distance between them. “Bella, I have two questions for you.”
“Ask away.”
“How familiar are you with the sewers?
Can you tell us what you know?
Also, Doctor Tom, who you mentioned — what was his goal in creating so many human aberrants? To seize ownership of Derry Town from the clown, or… does he have some other purpose?”
Bella paused slightly.
“These two questions can be combined… Here’s the gist of it.
The great Doctor Tom has been living beneath here for a long time, even turning the central control room into his laboratory.
He uses it to monitor everything in the underground area because there are some things here that he can’t deal with either.
For ease of access to various areas, he spent a lot of effort developing a ‘Giant
Tunnel Worm’ to link all the zones below, making it easy to transfer.”
“Oh! So it is used for shortcuts?” Han Dong had experienced the worm tunnel once and found it quite convenient.
“As for Doctor Tom’s purpose, although I did not hear it directly from him, it seems he wanted to ‘kill two birds with one stone.’”
“Two birds?”
Since the doctor was dead, Bella had no reservations.
“Hmm… There are many aberrants like me, but I’m probably the most perfect one.
Most aberrants have some defects — either they are limited in their ability use, or their consciousness gets damaged during mutation and they can’t assume a normal human form.
So, the doctor had me return to Derry Town to live freely and regularly report to him about the ‘clown.’
As for the other aberrants who are less perfect, they were assigned by the doctor to do secret work below.
“I don’t know what they are doing… but I guess it has something to do with the ‘broken exit’ you mentioned! The doctor would periodically transport these aberrants to the work area through the tunnel worm.
Once they’re all dead, he sends another batch over.”
Han Dong nodded and said, “It seems that the damage to the exit really has something to do with this doctor… I just hope the clown who is rushing there can stop it in time.
If a creature stronger than the clown escapes from ‘Old Derry Town,’ then this game is going to be big trouble.”
To save time.
Before meeting with the clown, Han Dong had the ‘Little Demon Eye’ open in the dark in a low-energy mode. If it detected any approaching monsters, the three of them would kill it together.
After walking for ten minutes. Bella spoke with a perplexed look:
“It’s strange, it shouldn’t be like this.
Why were only these ‘little things’ disturbing us along the way… and we haven’t encountered any other dangerous creatures?”
Han Dong was also puzzled. After all, it was mentioned in the large-scale (abnormal) sideline missions that it was very dangerous below.
But now, apart from the formidable doctor and his subordinates in the Main Surveillance Room, the tunnel was only filled with riffraff that posed no threat to the three of them.
Even if people like Cass and Sophia came down, they could easily handle them.
“The more it differs from usual, the more dangerous it is… be careful.” Han Dong’s unease grew stronger as they delved deeper.
“The exit should not be far…,” Bella reminded them as the fire core ash floating in the air became denser.
The temperature inside the tunnel began to rise gradually.
After walking for about 5 more minutes.
They could vaguely see the eerie black light emitted from the exit. Screeech!
The wall next to them suddenly transformed into a clown safe door.
Several grasshopper legs grabbed the three of them and quickly pulled the team inside…
This was a safehouse created by the clown, and a cloaking secret method was applied to blend the safe door with the wall.
“Mr. Clown, how’s the exit?”
The clown, his face contorted, was drawing circles with his hands and exclaimed exaggeratedly:
“BOOM! It’s over, a troublesome guy is already here.
Soon, I’ll lead this guy away, and you guys hurry up and repair the exit! If more people from ‘Old Derry Town’ come here, we’re all going to die.”
After saying this, the clown opened a small window in the safehouse door, looking towards the location of the exit.
A bald man with a sawblade embedded in his face was standing there.
His eyes brilliant black,
The red ashes swirling around him,
It was as if he had just crawled out of the depths of purgatory..
