The timeline was retracted.
Han Dong met up with the team.
Since Han Dong's "parents" had been eliminated, this building belonged to Han Dong alone, so it could be used as a temporary base for the team.
The team gathered in the living room, preparing to activate the hidden reward.
[The Clown's Thank You Gift]
Compared to the [Laughing Box] that Han Dong received, the Thank You Gift was larger … For safety reasons, Koslin used a mechanical device to open it carefully at a distance of more than three meters.
* Sizzle! *
As soon as the lid was opened, a light pink aura leaked out from inside the gift box. It seemed strange but was actually harmless.
"Hahaha ~ Hahaha ~"
A clown doll with a spring attached to its bottom popped out from inside the gift box.
Everyone in the team was on guard.
Han Dong's "eyes" quickly scanned the doll. After confirming that it was just an ordinary doll, he slowly approached it.
The clown doll held out a piece of paper with both hands, and there was an old-fashioned camera hanging from its neck.
These two items were the corresponding rewards for the hidden event.
[You have received the hidden reward "Item Exchange Voucher (High Quality)". After completing the main storyline of "The Clown Returns (Part 1)", you can use the voucher to exchange for a Destiny Item during the final reward calculation.]
[You have received the hidden clue "Old Camera." Function unknown.]
"Item Exchange Voucher! As expected of the hidden event reward! "
Cass was overjoyed when he saw this reward!
Of course, if they couldn't clear this event, it would be useless.
Han Dong wasn't interested in the voucher. His attention was mainly on the hidden clue "Old Camera."
The camera was equipped with a film roll, so all its functions were still functional.
Next was the "clue sorting" stage.
The TV in the living room was moved away.
The interface of the "Auxiliary Clue Collector" was projected on the TV wall.
The clues "Laughing Box" and "Soaked Diary" obtained by Han Dong were in different locations, and there was no substantial connection between the two clues.
The icon for the medium-sized clue was obviously much larger.
Moreover, there was a line connecting the diary icon to the larger side quest icon … It seemed that the method to activate this large side quest could be found through "Auxiliary Deduction."
The hidden clue was different.
When the clockwork device scanned and read the information of the "Old Camera."
No clue icon lit up on the interface.
The one that reacted was the [Clown Icon] in the center.
About 15% of the clown icon lit up! A small amount of information about the clown was revealed.
"Part of The Clown's information has been uncovered?!"
While Han Dong was surprised, he reached out and clicked on the "Soaked Diary" icon and the clown icon in the center to see what information the auxiliary system could give him.
[The Soaked Diary: There is an entrance to the secret sewer in Derry Town Basic High.
(There are all kinds of strange life forms in the sewers. Please ensure that your team is strong enough.)
Note: Once you find the entrance to the sewers and enter it, you will activate a large side quest.]
The hidden sewer system here seemed to be different from the sewer system in Dry Town … It belonged to the origin of the host, Bella. There must be a lot of secrets hidden inside.
"The secret sewer corresponds to a large branch.
Bella, who had mutated internally, was not controlled by the Clown. She even tried to create an army of parasites to fight against the Clown.
Can we infer that even Clown himself is unable to interfere with this [Hidden Sewer]? "
With doubts in his mind, Han Dong continued to look at the next clue provided by the system.
[Ultimate Intelligence — [Pennywise the Clown] has been unlocked by 15%.
Intelligence:
1. The clown does not seem to exist in the communities, suburbs or public buildings of Derry Town.
2. The camera might be able to find the entrance to the 'Disappearing Street'.
Note: Ultimate Intelligence has not been unlocked by more than 50%. Please do not initiate contact with the clown.]
Next, it was the last stage of the discussion.
Based on the above clues, they were considering the 'next step'.
Cass stepped forward and stared at the complicated projection of the auxiliary clues. He sighed.
"The Destiny events that we have experienced in the past have never had so many side quests. There were also no major, medium or minor quests … A normal Destiny event would only have about four side quests.
Once completed, it would greatly improve the progress of the main storyline.
Although this is a 4-star Destiny world, there are still too many side quests, right? "
What Cass said confirmed one of Han Dong's thoughts to a certain extent.
So many side quests and hidden events were the specialty of "The Clown Returns to Life". And Han Dong had a rather terrifying conjecture …
Han Dong gritted his teeth and decided to share his terrifying conjecture before Captain Cass came up with the 'next step'.
"I have a terrifying conspiracy theory that I would like to share with everyone."
This was not the first time Han Dong came up with a plan.
After he said that, the team members immediately sat down on the sofa and listened to Han Dong's point of view.
"Ever since I came to the world of" The Clown Returns to Life (Part 1), I had an indescribable feeling of abnormality.
After experiencing these events, I discovered a problem.
The clown does not have a strong desire to attack. It could even be said that he does not have any desire to attack!
Whether it was the side quests or the [Clown's Party] that you experienced … the clown did not initiate an attack even once.
I have a feeling that the clown is enjoying all of this.
I even suspect that some of the side quests might be deliberately created by the clown.
The clown had set up all sorts of events for us to trigger and complete. He even took the initiative to set up clues and rewards.
After he had set up all of these, he only needed to watch the show from the dark. When necessary, he would slightly change some of the 'parameters' to increase the enjoyment and interest of the event.
At least, the three events that we have completed so far were directly or indirectly related to the clown.
In the [Parasite School] incident, if not for the clown's interference, we might have had an additional 'teammate'.
In addition to the slight changes that I have observed in Dry Town over the past two days (the increase in the number of balloons), the whole town is like an [Amusement Park] controlled by the clown.
Instead of saying that we are participants of Fate, we are more like players in the clown's game.
If we are unable to escape from the clown's control, we will eventually die or be trapped here forever. We will completely become a normal member of the town and spend the rest of our lives in Dry Town.
By then, we will no longer be able to recognize ourselves.
I hope that this will be taken into consideration in the next 'next step'.
Otherwise, the various events that we have worked so hard to complete will only be seen as a few games in the clown's amusement park. "
Han Dong's conspiracy theory caused the party members to break out in cold sweat.
"This! Brother Allen, what do you mean? There are so many side quests, and some of them are made up by the clown? "
"Yes … Therefore, it is best for us to choose side quests that the clown is not directly involved in.
The clown is not the ruler of this world. There must be areas and mysterious events in this world that the clown does not understand or is unable to control. "
