Chapter 122: Chapter 122: The Return Journey
Translator: 549690339
Any resident of the [Other] is capable of being the ultimate BOSS facing an apprentice knight in a Fate Event.
The moment the black hair seeped out through the wall’s crevice, it made Han Dong’s hair stand on end.
“You all retreat first!”
Han Dong waved his hand, asking the two ladies to step back.
In reality, due to their innate senses, Bella and Chen Li had already retreated at the first sign of the cold invasion… Their instincts practically sounded a death alert.
“It will be truly unbearable if another one comes out.”
Han Dong hurriedly brought the red balloon to the fissure.
Pop!
The moment the balloon touched the black hair at the opening, it exploded immediately, unable to repair the [exit].
Han Dong currently had absolutely no extra time to think.
Every second he delayed, a part of the black hair would spread out.
“Her body has not fully moved over to this side yet… It shouldn’t be too hard to deal with.”
Referring to the damage the ‘tentacles’ could cause to the clown, Han Dong prepared to use the ‘tentacle’ ability to push this resident back to where she came from…
Rustle
Just as Han Dong reached out, the black hair unexpectedly wrapped around his arm in an instant.
An extreme cold sensation rushed into his body.
Immediately, there was a feeling as if his blood was frozen, and even the probiotic fungus in his body fell into a dormant state…
The skin all over his body turned a deep blue tone.
Let alone break free from the black hair, right now it was hard for Han Dong to even carry out the most basic movements…
At the critical moment.
Whoosh!
The evil-possessed kitchen knife slashed down, precisely severing the black hair just in time.
Even if Chen Li felt the threat from the thing in the crack was significant.
But upon seeing Han Dong (her master) in danger, she didn’t hesitate and immediately moved in.
The moment the black hair was cut.
As she was telepathically connected with her ‘master’, she knew Han Dong was in a state of extreme cold.
She put away the knife,
spread her arms,
and from behind, she hugged Han Dong.
Her soft body pressed against him, transferring her body heat to Han Dong, dispelling the cold within him to some extent.
This also allowed him to regain a bit of mobility.
“Chen Li… Thank you.”
Han Dong murmured, seizing the opportunity!
Before the next strand of black hair could entangle him, he stretched out his hand to the crack.
If the tentacles could hurt the clown, they naturally could also harm the other residents of Old Derry Town.
Black smoke rose!
The effect was even better than expected.
Sizzling
The touched black hair instantly turned into dirty water, spilling all over the ground.
Maintaining his position, Han Dong then lowered his face to look directly through the crack at the woman on the other side with his ‘Little Demon Eye’.
‘Visual Pollution’.
The woman’s eyes on the other side of the crack blinked, spilling out filthy fresh blood.
Ah~ (the woman screams)
The female resident immediately withdrew.
“Prevent the invasion of a powerful monster, event completion rate increased by 15%”
Seizing the opportunity, Han Dong hurriedly stuffed the balloon, completely blocking the remaining gap.
At the same time, Han Dong placed his right hand on the wall, a group of fungi spread out, covering the wall, further reinforcing the exit.
‘Repair of the ‘Sewage Exit’ completed, reward 30% completion degree.
The large-scale (abnormal) branch line is completed, please leave the [Sewer Region].
After leaving, the system will settle the rewards for this branch line.”
“Nice!!!”
The total completion rate has reached 95%.
Once Han Dong leaves the sewer, he will receive the maximum reward, especially those incredibly rare Fate Points.
“Bella, shall we quickly return to the entrance through the body of the ‘Giant Burrowing Worm’?”
“Hmm… I’ll lead the way.”
Bella knew the location of the entrance like the back of her hand.
Hopefully, they would not encounter ‘that man’ who was lured away by the clown on their way back.
“Hmm… The flesh seems to be less active than before.”
While traveling inside the giant worm, the flesh became icy cold and stopped secreting body fluids.
About halfway through, they noticed that this giant worm had been sliced completely in two! The cut seemed to have been made by a saw…
The remainder of the journey had to be made above ground.
They encountered few sewer monsters along the way, most of which had been killed as collateral damage from the fight between the clown and another resident.
“The entrance!”
Climbing into the dark, damp tunnel, Han Dong felt a sense of relief.
He opened the manhole cover.
And returned to the men’s restroom in the high school lab building.
“Whew… We made it out! The clown really did his job, completely lured that creature away from the main route.”
Having spent half a day in the sewer, it was now dusk.
Meanwhile.
The parasitic bodies in the brains of the teachers at Derry Town Middle School reactivated and fell under Bella’s complete control due to the return of their host, Bella.
“Bella, come with us! Let the parasites in the school stay behind here… if the clown or that creature appears in the school, we can be notified immediately.”
“Okay…”
“If possible, let the hosts you are controlling reproduce ‘unlimitedly’… Form as many parasitic armies as possible.
The biggest disaster in the history of Derry Town is about to arrive, and ordinary people simply cannot survive it.
It’s better to make the most use of them.”
“Yes!”
Bella agreed with Han Dong and immediately passed on this order.
Soon after, all the students received notice and convened in the gym for a temporary school meeting – a mass vaccination gathering.
“Miss Chen Li, you should return to the jail to rest… You’ve worked hard this time.”
“Yes!”
He dismissed Chen Li.
Han Dong sent a message through the ticking device.
Leading Bella, he promptly headed towards the ‘Disappeared Street’ that the clown had mentioned… Meanwhile, Cass and his team also arrived here with the ‘Old Camera’.
Koslin had returned to normal.
The twists and turns of the matter, as well as Bella’s identity, were concisely explained by Han Dong.
“Aron, you…”
Cass was so shocked that he didn’t know how to respond.
He felt as if Han Dong had been leading him all along, and he himself hadn’t contributed much.
Establishing a normal relationship with the final BOSS was something Cass had never heard of with his current experience.
“Wait, let’s talk in detail when the clown comes… Where’s the camera?”
“Here.”
Han Dong took over the camera.
Following the clown’s instructions, he focused the camera on the intersection of two streets and snapped a photo…
Click!
After the flash of the camera, the disappeared street was revealed.
On both sides of the street, there were decrepit buildings that had been abandoned for over a hundred years, and Pennywise’s house was at the end of this street.
As everyone began to step in, the sound of fate’s prompt came:
“Due to a member of the team establishing a ‘neutral’ or above relationship with the original final target of the destined event, Pennywise the clown, an ‘unexpected’ change has occurred in [The Return of the Clown (Surface Chapter)].
The original side quests and corresponding clues in Derry Town have become invalid, and the main quest requirements have completely changed.
Main quest requirements: Save Derry Town, Kill the ‘Purgatory Monk, Togu’.
Additional reward: Upon settlement, if a ‘Fate Card’ is obtained, each member of the team will receive a card.”
