The Return Journey

Any resident of [Old Town] was enough to take on the role of the Trainee Knight's ultimate boss corresponding to the fate event.

The moment the black hair spilled out along the gap in the wall, it made Han Dong's hairs stand on end.

"You guys back off first!"

With a wave of his hand, Han Dong asked the two ladies to back off.

In fact, due to instinctive sensing, Bella and Chen Li had already backed away at the first opportunity when the gloom and cold invaded, Instinct was close to giving out a death notice.

"It'll be really hard if we let another one out."

Han Dong hurriedly handed the red balloon to the cracked position.

Crack!

Once the balloon touched the black hair at the rift, it immediately exploded, unable to repair the [Exit].

The current Han Dong didn't have any extra time to think at all.

With every second of delay, the black hair would spread out in part.

"Her body hasn't fully moved to this side; it shouldn't be hard to deal with."

Referencing the damage that the tentacles could do to the Joker's illumination, Han Dong prepared to use his 'tentacle' ability to press the resident back to his original place.

Very nice.

Just as Han Dong reached out to approach, black hair actually instantly wrapped around his arm.

An extreme cold sensation ran into his body.

Immediately there was a feeling of the blood being frozen, and even the beneficial fungus in his body fell into a dormant state.

The skin all over his body took on a dark blue hue.

Not to mention breaking free of the black hair, the current Han Dong was having trouble doing even the most basic activities.

Key moment.

Woosh!

The evil winding chopper cut down, cutting off the black hair with critical precision.

Chen Li even though she felt the threat value of something in the crevice was high.

But when she saw Han Dong (her master) in danger, she didn't even think about it and immediately posted it.

The moment the black hair was cut off.

Due to the psychic connection with her 'master', she knew that Han Dong was in a state of extreme cold.

Putting away the cleaver.

Spread your arms.

Embracing Han Dong from behind.

The soft body was pressed up against it, transferring body heat into Han Dong's body and dispersing the cold in his body to some extent.

It was also a small part of allowing mobility to be restored.

"Chen Li, thanks a lot."

Han Dong whispered, "Seize the opportunity!

Catch the next strand of black hair before it wraps around, and reach out to stick to the gap.

The tentacles could hurt the Joker, and naturally, the other residents of Old Derry.

Black smoke rises!

It worked even better than expected.

Zzzzz~.

The black hair that touched immediately turned into sewage and dripped all over the floor.

Han Dong also shifted his face down to look opposite the woman across the gap with his "little magic eye".

"Visual Pollution".

The water-soaked eyes across the gap instantly spilled out filthy blood.

Yah~ (female scream)

The female resident is retreating.

[Stop the invasion of powerful monsters and increase the event completion rate by 15%.]

Taking the opportunity, Han Dong was busy stuffing the balloon to completely close the final gap.

At the same time, Han Dong also placed his right hand on the wall, and a group of fungi spread out and grew all over the wall, further reinforcing the exit.

"Repaired "Sewer Exit", 30% completion bonus.

Large (abnormal) branch has been completed, please disengage from the [Sewer Area].

Once you're out, the system will reward you for your efforts.

"Nice!!!"

The total completion is 95%.

Han Dong would receive maximum rewards once he got out of the sewers, especially the rare Fate Points.

"Miss Bella, shall we take the "Giant Pit Worm" inside to quickly return to the entrance?"

"Okay, I'll lead the way."

Bella knew the location of the entrance like the back of her hand.

I just hope we don't encounter 'that man' who was led away by the Joker on the way back.

"Well, the flesh activity doesn't seem to be as strong as it was before."

The flesh has become cold and no longer secretes bodily fluids as it travels along the giant worm's body.

It was only when it reached about the midway point that the one giant worm was cut off whole! From the cut, it looks like it was caused by a saw blade cutting.

The remainder of the journey can only be made along the underground area.

There were very few sewer monsters encountered along the way, and most of them were killed by the ripple effects of the Joker's battle with another resident.

"Entrance!"

Han Dong had a feeling of relief as he climbed into the dark and damp tunnel.

Open the manhole cover.

Return to the men's room in the middle school lab building.

"Whew, escaped! The Jokers really gave it a go, completely luring the guy away from the main road."

After spending half a day in the sewers, it was now dusk.

Meanwhile.

The group of teachers in Derry town High School were under full control of Bella as the parasitic subject-Bella's return, the parasite entrenched in their heads reactivated.

"Miss Bella, come with us! The parasites in the school let them stay here, and we'll be the first to hear from the Joker or that guy once he shows up at the school."

"Okay, "

"If feasible, let those parasitic hosts you control 'breed indefinitely', and build up as large an army of parasites as possible.

The town of Derry is about to draw the greatest disaster in history, and there's no way ordinary people will survive.

It's better to use them to their fullest value."

"Hmm!"

Bella thought that Han Dong was right and immediately passed this order on.

At once, the entire school was notified to start an impromptu school assembly in the gym! Naturally, it was the entire inoculation meeting.

"Miss Chen Li, you go back to the prison to rest, it's been hard for you this time."

"Mm!"

Take back Chen Li.

Han Dong sends a message through the wind-up device.

Leading Bella immediately to the 'vanishing street entrance' mentioned by the Joker, Meanwhile, Cass and his group arrive with the 'old camera'.

Coslin has been restored to his original form.

The whole story and Bella's identity were explained by Han Dong in the most concise of words.

"Andeva you."

Cass was so shocked that he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

There was a feeling that he hadn't contributed much at all by being carried along by Han Dong the entire time.

Establishing a normal relationship with the Final Boss was something Cass had never heard of, given his current experience.

"Later, when the Joker gets here, we'll elaborate, where's the camera?"

"Here."

Han Dong took the camera.

Following what the Joker had said, he focused on the intersection of the two streets to take pictures.

Click!

After the exposure light flashed, the hidden street was revealed.

On both sides of the street were crumbling buildings that had been abandoned for hundreds of years, and [Joker Pennywise]'s home was at the end of the street.

As the crowd set foot on each other's paths, system prompted the following.

『Due to a certain member of the squad establishing a 'neutral' and above relationship with the original Destiny Event's final target [Joker-Pennywise].

This resulted in an 'unexpected' change in "The Return of the Joker (Table Chapter)".

Some of the original [Derry Town] branching events and their corresponding clues are no longer valid and the mainline requirements have been completely changed.

Main requirement: Save the town of Derry and kill the "Monk of Purgatory, Togo".

Bonus: If you obtain a "Destiny Card" at the end of the game, each member of the team will receive a card.
