My Cell Prison

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Another Sideline (Fifth update, asking for monthly ticket)

Translator: 549690339

The irregularly flickering incandescent lamp,

The old television full of static due to lack of signal,

The parents, motionless on the couch,

And the gift box bearing an eerie clown image.

All of these were not in the original movie “Clown Revival”. More importantly, in the original movie, the terrifying clown in Derry Town could only be seen by teenagers and children.

Adults couldn’t see it.

Now, within the World of Fate where Han Dong is, his parents are severely affected.

Therefore, Han Dong has completely abandoned the original plot, clearing his mental recycle bin and treating everything as an unknown event.

To ensure nothing went wrong, Han Dong quickly sent information about his current encounter to Cass and the others through the clockwork device…

However, he received no reply.

It seemed that Cass and his group had also fallen into a ‘trap’.

“Dragging on is not the solution, so we must deal with it on our own…”

Han Dong motioned for Chen Li to guard at the staircase, and he first went down to check out. Chen Li was ready to assist at any moment.

Just as Han Dong descended the last step, a familiar system voice reverberated in his mind again.

“The side mission ‘Hilarious Parents’ has been activated.

Requirement: Handle household affairs o !

Reward: Small clue (Hilarious Gift Box), Slightly increased probability of getting the ‘Fate Card’ in the final reward.”

“Hmm!! This is also a side mission!?

But, compared to the side missions at school, the scale of this event is clearly smaller, so only a small clue is involved.

Moreover, this side mission is directly related to [Clown-pennywise], even the description of the ‘requirement’ has become weird.

Is this World of Fate mainly consisting of various side tasks?”

While Han Dong was contemplating, his parents who sat on the sofa watching TV suddenly twisted their heads in an incredibly stiff manner…

Their bodies remained sitting upright, only their heads twisted mechanically.

Rotating exactly 90° and fixated on Han Dong.

Completely different from the kind parents in his memories.

Both wore exaggerated bright red lipstick, with extremely exaggerated smiles (reaching the limit that would stretch their cheek muscles).

Their eyes were wide open, as if they could ‘pop out’ from the sockets at any moment.

“Nicholas… Why aren’t you asleep yet?” The voice was the same as before, but it came from his mother’s mouth.

“I came down for a glass of water.”

Despite the terrifying scene in front of him, Han Dong acted calmly, turned around and walked to the kitchen to get water.

However, in the process of Han Dong walking towards the kitchen and turning his back to his ‘parents’…

Click!

The first sound was the TV turning off.

Click!

The second sound was the lights turning off.

This meant that all the light sources in the house were extinguished, and only a faint moonlight came in through the window.

Scratch, scratch- (The sound of nails scraping)

It seemed as if something was crawling quickly in the dark.

When Han Dong turned around…

His parents were standing right in front of him, always maintaining a ‘smile’.

Having been prepared in advance, Han Dong was indifferent, completely suppressing the fear within him. He gently gestured, indicating for the Chen Li hiding in the dark to act.

All the while, Han Dong maintained eye contact with his smiling parents.

Then, a red shadow flashed.

The evil-wrapped kitchen knife cut across his parents’ necks in an instant.

The arteries were severed, and ‘oil’ gushed out.

The heads of the parents fell into the sink nearby, still maintaining the ‘smile’ , their eyes staring fixedly at Han Dong, with no deviation at all. The body, now missing the head, fell heavily to the floor.

The strange thing is!

The body that fell on the floor burst open just like a balloon… with a pop!

Pop!

The balloon exploded!

Han Dong’s consciousness swirled.

In a blink of an eye, he found himself next to the brightly lit bedroom window on the second floor.

The red balloon outside the window had just burst… Han Dong saw the clown hopping down the street again, and cold sweat flowed down his temples.

“Time reversal? Impossible, right!?”

Han Dong immediately turned to look at the clock in the room.

Compared to when Han Dong left the room earlier, ten minutes had passed…

Also, the parasite specimen had been put back in the bookcase.

These two situations were enough to show that time hadn’t been reversed.

Han Dong quietly left the bedroom and looked through the gap in the staircase at the living room… He saw that his parents were sitting undamaged on the sofa, exactly the same scene as before.

This meant it wasn’t a rewind in time, but simply a ‘scene reset’.

Everything had to be done once again due to his parents’ death.

“How was this scene reset achieved? Mind influence?”

As Han Dong was deep in thought, the system prompt came:

“Household affairs must be handled by family members, and no outsiders are allowed to interfere. If rules are deliberately violated to reset the scene, strict punishment will ensue.”

“So, this task must be completed by me? Even Chen Li, who has established a ‘master-servant relationship’ with me, is not allowed to intervene? So, that’s what [household affairs] means.”

Given this, Han Dong immediately recalled Chen Li back to the prison.

Han Dong confirmed based on previous experience, even if his parents were influenced by the clown, their power wasn’t particularly strong. At least Chen Li, using an ambush, was able to solve it with one strike.

Both Fate Items were fully activated…

The Ghoul Arm was half-activated, with the size remaining the same but the nails extending to about 10cm.

To deal with an ordinary enemy, Han Dong still had to hold back… After all, everything might be seen by the clown, and Han Dong didn’t want to expose all his cards right at the start.

Creak-

When Han Dong pushed open the bedroom door again, things had changed at home.

Only the TV was still on, the parents who were originally sitting on the sofa had disappeared.

He activated the crow’s mark on the back of his hand.

The Bird Beak Mask, possessing night vision ability, formed, and the dark no longer had any effect on Han Dong.

Han Dong first conducted a search in the house but found no trace of his parents.

Since the search was fruitless, his only option was to return to the living area. He looked at the already opened clown gift box on the table, inside which there was still a note.

After confirming that no one was around, Han Dong quickly pulled out the note and looked at the information on it.

“[Household affairs]: Deal with the aberrant family members.

(Reminder: in the eyes of those who are not normal, those who are normal are the aberrant ones! o

Just then…

The sliding glass door leading to the backyard from the kitchen opened.

The parents, wearing sinister smiles, walked into the house from the backyard.

The reason Han Dong couldn’t find them when he searched the house earlier was because his parents had gone to the backyard to ‘grab their weapons’.

His mother was holding a long-barreled shotgun, loaded.

His father was carrying a chainsaw that ran on diesel… After pulling the chainsaw’s starter cord, the saw chain started spinning around, driven by the engine..
