"Faceless Skull upgrade completed! Current level: LV.2 "
"Wah!"
Han Dong woke up in the basement. The tentacles had retracted back into his neck and his appearance had changed to 'Warren Nicholas'.
A strong sense of nausea washed over him.
"Ugh!"
What he vomited was not ordinary gastric juice.
It was some dirty and murky liquid, fish bones, octopus tentacles, and shells!
"This! I … "
The memory of his life as a fisherman in Innsmouth.
It was not as illusory as a dream, it was more like reality and it was deeply imprinted in Han Dong's mind.
Han Dong, who finally sailed towards the sea, seemed to hear a nameless call. He abandoned the fishing boat and embraced the sea.
"Innsmouth … This memory is so hard to block out!"
It was different from the 14 years of life in Dry Town that was implanted into him.
This memory was Han Dong's personal experience and it contained 'emotions'.
Staring at the puddle of vomit, Han Dong could not tell whether the memory was real or fake.
The identity of a 'fisherman'.
The transformation of the murloc's body.
It was a call from the deep sea.
It was as if it was imprinted in Han Dong's mind and could not be erased.
Sensing Han Dong's abnormality, Chen Li immediately approached him and reached out to support him.
"Miss … Miss Chen Li! How long has it been? "
"3 hours and 27 minutes … There is no movement from the Clown House. They should have stalled the Purgatory Monk for now."
The time was normal, the situation was normal.
But Han Dong did not show any joy from the successful upgrade of the skull … His face was gloomy and his mind was in a mess.
"Let me rest, I am not feeling well."
The skull had leveled up, the energy was replenished, the power of the tentacles and the magic eye had increased.
But … Han Dong's discomfort was on a mental level.
The strong stench of fish and the heavy humidity combined with the personal experience of turning into a 'murloc' caused Han Dong great discomfort on a mental level.
Han Dong continued to rest.
He closed his eyes to rest.
He was thinking about the meaning of this' fisherman's life '.
"Could it be that Innsmouth Town is related to this head of mine? Is it a sealed memory of the owner of this head? Or was it one of his memories?
After leaving the Destiny Realm, I need to find out if there is a place called Innsmouth in the original world. "
(10 minutes break)
He tried his best to block out the fisherman's memory.
He had finally calmed down.
Han Dong wasn't in a hurry to participate in the battle.
Instead, he took out an old book from his pocket.
It was the large clue he obtained from clearing the [Twisted Sewer Pipe] event: "The Terrifying History of Drey Town".
The words' Derry Town 'were printed on the surface of the book.
This book was of great value to the current Fate event.
Even though there were many side quests in "The Clown's Resurrection (Form)", this was the only large-scale side quest on the auxiliary quest collector.
Such clues would greatly unlock the secrets of New Drewe Town and Clown's origin.
The content of the book would describe the origin of New Dry Town, which was how the Joker came to New Dry Town from Inner to Outer, and how it affected New Dry Town …
"I hope this big clue can help me understand some things.
It will allow me to understand Pennywise thoroughly!
Phew … I hope there won't be too many changes in the end. If I help the Clown and kill this monk Togu, it will be a perfect ending.
But it shouldn't be that easy. "
To be honest, Han Dong never fully trusted Pennywise the Clown.
Even though their relationship had changed to 'neutral', Han Dong did not let his guard down.
After all, the Clown was a very special boss. He had already learned about the secrets of Fate from the other teams that had entered this place.
The Clown's conspiracy theory was something Han Dong came up with, so he wouldn't forget about it.
This cooperation with the Clown was based on the fact that they had a 'common enemy' … Once the common enemy was gone, the relationship between them would naturally cease to exist.
The reason Han Dong chose to level up the skull at this' crucial moment 'was not only because of the containment plan, but also because of another reason.
He was holding back.
If everyone followed the Clown to fight Togu the monk, and if the 'conspiracy theory' was involved, they would feel like they were being led by the nose by the Clown.
If the main quest could be changed once, perhaps it could be changed a second time.
Click, click ~ (The clockwork mechanism unwound to form a projector.)
"Let's start looking for clues."
Han Dong first uploaded the ancient book from Dry Town to the [Auxiliary Clue Collector].
The large branch quest icon on the screen lit up.
At the same time, Han Dong also held onto two other clues, one Small and one Medium … They came from when Han Dong was stalling the Clown in the sewers, and when Cass and the others completed the branch quest in Dry Town.
The connection of the different clues increased the Clown's intelligence by 50%.
Han Dong combined the results of the system's deduction and read it carefully.
When he flipped through the ancient book from Dry Town, some of the information about the Clown made Han Dong break out in cold sweat.
The Clown's conspiracy theory was slowly proven in the process of reading this book.
In addition, the old book also mentioned the Clown's' growth '.
"The Clown's growth is not a continuous phenomenon. Instead, it will suddenly increase in level after a certain period of time!"
The book accurately recorded that every time a foreign team arrived in Dry Town, the Clown would grow stronger.
"Fate events can be understood as an asymmetrical game between the 'hunter' and the 'prey'.
In terms of individual strength, the Clown, who is far stronger than us, belongs to the 'hunter' side, while we belong to the 'prey' side.
Everyone is a participant in Fate events.
Whoever wins will receive a reward from the system.
If we, the 'prey' side, win, we will receive Fate Points, cards, and even some physical rewards.
If the 'hunter' side wins, they should also receive a corresponding reward.
The reason why the clown was able to grow stronger was because he was able to obtain victory as a 'hunter' in one Fate event after another … According to the records, he had already wiped out four entire parties.
This is also why it dared to slowly infiltrate the Middle Layer even though it was afraid of Old Dry Town in the beginning. It even tried to take over Old Dry Town completely. "
Half an hour later.
Han Dong finished reading the information recorded in the book and matched it with the conclusion deduced by the auxiliary device.
[The Clown's Conspiracy]
Most of the Clown's conspiracy had been deduced.
This result caused Han Dong to fall into deep thought, his brows tightly knitted.
"Is this the true difficulty of a 4-star [Fate Realm]?
Fortunately, I left a trick up my sleeve and stayed down here to level up my head.
Otherwise, even if I considered all the 'small matters' and 'side quests', I would still be led by the nose by the Clown when it comes to 'big matters'. The final result would be unchangeable.
If we fail completely, our team will become the Clown's experience points!
The four Apprentice Knight teams were all eliminated in Dry Town, not because they were weak, but because the Clown was too difficult to deal with.
It's still not too late.
I still have a chance to turn the tables. "
Knock knock knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the basement door.
[Host Host Bella] greeted him, "Can I come in?"
For some reason, Bella's voice sounded strange …
