The reason why the clown couldn't be killed was not because he couldn't be killed, but because he couldn't be killed.
The key reason was because of the clown's crazy laughter attribute.
Talking about the clown's crazy laughter, there were two key points that had to be explained, which were also the main problems caused by the crazy laughter.
The first point was the disaster of Reed Town.
The clown virus was the essence of the disaster. It was different from normal viruses, it could be transmitted directly through sound. (Its mechanism was similar to when audio was absorbed by the brain, it would forcibly stimulate the brain through neuronal signals, inducing the differentiation of stem cells in the body, allowing individuals to self-organize into viruses.)
Once infected, there would be a very long incubation period, during which there would be no symptoms, and it couldn't be identified by any means … It could only be estimated by combining virology and statistics.
The estimated number of infected people (including normal animals) given by Reed Town was 23% of the total population.
In fact, the number seen by Han Dong was an additional 10%.
This involved the most terrifying point, which was also the reason why the disaster was difficult to control, and also the reason why the clown couldn't be killed — — [Soul Return].
Even if the clown's soul was extracted, his body was annihilated, and he was completely dead.
A certain virus carrier would have a virus outbreak in a short period of time, and the clown virus would take over his body, swallowing his consciousness … He would become a new clown, and he would also inherit a certain amount of the host's abilities.
The clown would also choose a key item of the host and throw it into his "treasure chest".
However, this ability was not absolutely unsolvable … The mayor had actually found a reasonable solution.
As long as the clown's body was not completely dead, [Soul Return] would not happen.
Therefore, the mayor chose to deal with it by separating the clown and placing him in different areas … Absolute isolation.
After decades of isolation, when the virus carriers outside had all passed the incubation period, and all of them showed signs of crazy laughter, they would all be killed.
But this would take too long, and no one could be sure how long the incubation period would be, as long as any fish escaped the net … Everything would be in vain.
The second point was Han Dong himself.
Three years ago.
As the most 'intimate' contact in [The Soul Return of the Clown (Form)], Han Dong had already been infected with the virus.
Even if he was out of the Destiny world, Han Dong could still see the clown's illusion on various occasions, especially when danger was about to arrive. He would accidentally see the clown's illusion running out from all corners, warning him that danger was about to happen.
He reminded him not to die.
Reminding him that he had to make it to Ridley alive.
Such visual and auditory hallucinations were a mental manifestation of a severely infected person during the incubation period.
The Clown was not worried about Han Dong.
This was because once Han Dong died, he would have one less vessel for his soul to return to … Among all the individuals that the clown had interacted with, Han Dong was the most interesting.
Once Han Dong came to Reedre Town, the clown would find a way to kill himself and use Han Dong as the host to complete the resurrection ritual.
All of the above deductions were made by Han Dong when he arrived at Ridley Town.
Before coming here, Han Dong could only be sure of one thing. He must have been deeply affected by Pennywise's ability, and it was quite fatal.
Ever since he left the Forms world, Han Dong had been searching for a solution, but he had not been able to find one. Perhaps Mr. Black And White knew a way to remove it, but due to fate, he did not directly tell Han Dong.
The turning point of everything, as well as the situation that the clown did not expect, happened a year ago.
Guide Line — "Red Plague Incident"
When Han Dong came into contact with individuals infected by the Scarlet Plague in the civilian area of the Holy City, he discovered characteristics similar to the clown's wild laughter. Then, through various channels, he identified an important person.
That person was Scarlet Count, who had traveled thousands of miles to the outskirts of the Holy City, in the Alagat Mountain Range, due to personal issues.
Mr. Black And White immediately arranged for Han Dong and Demps to follow Blood Knight Lucius's team out of the city.
They went to investigate the Alagat Mountain Range. Verbally, it was to let Han Dong and Demps use Scarlet Count as a middleman to try to fish out the "big fish" in the Holy City, the president of the Writers' Association.
In fact, this was also an opportunity for Han Dong.
When he saw Count, Han Dong immediately made up his mind.
In order to completely understand the "wild laughter" attribute, he chose Count as the target to break the seed. He eliminated or directly assimilated the clown virus that infected him. Even if the attributes of the two were not completely compatible, Han Dong still wanted to do this.
As a scientist, his intuition told Han Dong that the attribute of [Wild Laughter] was very important. It could allow Han Dong to be independent outside the city. It might even have an extremely important connection with his brain in the future.
Later, after reaching a consensus with Count's consciousness.
He immediately experimented with the "clown's arm."
He let "Count's consciousness" directly cover the clown's consciousness on his arm. For the first time, the "wild laughter" assimilation was achieved, proving the feasibility of the plan. At the same time, Han Dong also felt a trace of "incompleteness."
The [Wild Laughter] of Count and the clown belonged to two different attributes. Only the combination of the two could achieve true completeness.
Therefore, even if Han Dong won first place in the knight election, he still did not choose his own title. It was because he had not been able to complete it yet.
At the moment, Han Dong was not in the most complete state of breaking the seed.
He had to go to the inner world and find the clown to complete the [Talent Tree – Smiley Face].
… The above two key points led to the development of the situation.
Han Dong and the town worked together to deal with Pennywise.
With West's brain device, Director Richard's "Color Bridge," and Han Dong's little magic eye, they saw and connected to the core matrix in the clown's body. All the infected bodies connected to it were found.
All of them were executed.
Among the infected people found, there were Ma Taotao and Yu Wu from the Dragon City team. They were both in the incubation period.
When they received the information, the two decisively ended the current fate event and left the space. [Soul Return] could not be used in another world, so it was fine.
As long as all the virus carriers were killed.
The clown would only have his body left.
At that time, all the body parts would be put together. Killing him in one fell swoop would end everything and achieve the final ending.
However, Han Dong did not want to achieve this ending. He wanted a true ending, the most perfect ending.
The signal on the hundreds of TVs was cut off one by one. It meant that the infected people were being killed one by one. In order to win the attention of the mayor, the person who worked the hardest was the clerk, Miss Funa.
Like a river, the arms flowed in the streets and alleys. The infected people were all dead in a short time.
Cass and Diana, who followed the demonic party, also did their best to kill the enemies.
When the last TV screen turned into a blurry state.
Han Dong immediately took out all the clown's body parts that he kept in the laboratory.
"Prepare to begin … cough cough cough!"
Han Dong coughed up a lot of body parts. His current body could not hold on for much longer. However, he did not panic at all.
