The Clown's Abilities

Han Dong's Intuition was correct.

The extreme choice made was also the right one.

If you do not encounter the final boss of It (the first part).

It was simply impossible for Han Dong to understand the concepts of "surface" and "interior" in such a short time.

Generally speaking

If you follow the conventional way of completing the game, constantly obtaining 'clues' from various Side Event and exploring step by step, you might only be able to glimpse some concepts about the 'inside' when you finally defeat the clown.

Of course, that's on the premise of 'defeating the Joker'... the difficulty of which is self-evident.

To fully unlock "It (Part 2)," you must wait until you become Formal Knight.

For such a high-value chain of tasks, it would definitely be beneficial to have some information in advance.

in addition.

From a piece of information about "Derry Town - Dark History" that the clown 'accidentally' gave out.

This suggests to some extent that the Joker, Pennywise, was born in the Old Derry Town.

Within the so-called Old Derry Town, a group of madmen were born due to the influence of a 'dark history'.

Besides the Joker, there are many other crazy and terrifying individuals... some of whom are even more dangerous than the Joker. If we were to delve deeper, we would certainly touch upon the origins of this dark history.

This is far beyond what Han Dong can handle at this stage.

Therefore, Han Dong had to make a three-point agreement with the clown.

"I need to confirm something beforehand... You don't actually want to go to [Old Derry Town], do you?"

The clown pointed at Han Dong and burst into laughter:

"Hahaha! Look how nervous you are... I finally escaped from there, how could I possibly run back?"

At least, now is not the time to go back.

My purpose in coming here is to understand the issue of the "Middle Layer".

Besides Bella being affected last time, many ordinary people in my New Derry Town have also been mutated by the influence of the [Middle Layer].

If this drags on, these guys will definitely ruin the Amusement Park I've worked so hard to build.

In addition, I took this opportunity to set up enough Safehouse in the Middle Layer for future visits.

When I'm confident enough in the future, I'll go back to my hometown... and kill all those stupid dogs!

While discussing this matter, the clown was so excited that his eyes darted around and several of his tongues were tied into bows in his mouth.

"The monsters roaming in the [Middle Layer]... do they come from the Old Derry Town?" Han Dong asked.

The clown immediately untied his knotted tongue and patiently explained to Han Dong:

"No... I wasn't the only poor guy who wanted to leave Old Derry Town back then! Quite a few guys escaped to the Middle Layer, but I was the only one who eventually found the [Entrance/Exit]."

The complexity of the Middle Layer is beyond your imagination.

These poor souls, unable to find their way out, were cursed and influenced by the terrifying whispers of Old Derry Town... and eventually lost themselves in the Underground Sewer.

Some become completely lost, their bodies unable to maintain their original form, swelling and deforming into part of the Middle Layer.

Some choose suicide; after their bodies decay and disintegrate, they transform into individual pieces with independent consciousness, lurking in the shadows to hunt prey.

Some were cursed so severely that their consciousness vanished, turning them into pure cursed beings.

In short, those lingering here are just a bunch of losers... but even the losers from Old Derry Town, if they get serious, could wipe out your entire team.

Han Dong responded calmly:

"So, Joker, your goal is to 'clean up the losers,' right? To reduce their impact on New Derry Town."

The clown nodded. "Almost there... The main thing is to eliminate the source down there that lures ordinary people and causes individual mutations."

At the same time, the clown patted Han Dong on the shoulder in a very friendly manner and said, "However, since you have clear 'system instructions,' just follow the instructions to explore."

I haven't been down here for a long time, so the road conditions and layout here are definitely different from what I remember.

Additionally, if you act according to instructions.

You'll get a reward in the end, right?

"Um..."

"Then it's decided. Since it's a team of two, everyone should benefit... haha."

Han Dong stared at the grinning clown, finding it hard to fathom his thoughts, but he absolutely could not let his guard down against the clown... He had to be careful with his next move and had to keep a backup plan.

"Let's go... to find the map! Hopefully everything can be done smoothly before tonight."

The clown, returning to his old haunts, was extremely excited and, in front of Han Dong, pulled out his 'weapon'.

Chatter away!

He descended down his own viscous esophagus, reaching his arm inside his body, and began groping for something in his stomach.

"Sigh... It's been so long since I've had a fight. Where did my fighting tools go?"

The clown looked puzzled and groped around inside his body, from his stomach to his small intestine and then slowly to his large intestine.

Whoosh!

By accident.

My hand accidentally touched my body.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, this is so embarrassing! Wait for me a little longer."

The arm was pulled back into the body.

After fiddling around for a minute, he finally found what the clown wanted on his left abdomen.

Click!

My chin is loose.

Open your mouth wide enough to take out the Secret Weapon inside.

Body fluids are sticky.

With the pulling of the arm, a large hammer was slowly pulled out of the mouth!

Watching this scene of "treasure hunting inside the body" made Han Dong feel a little uncomfortable; this was just too extreme.

A colorful hammer, about two meters long and commonly found in amusement parks, was carried on the clown's shoulder.

Being hit by such a huge hammer, Han Dong felt that he might be instantly killed.

And this giant hammer seems to be just one of the props inside the Joker's body.

Han Dong thought to himself, "The clown's body is far larger than it appears, with a hidden world inside... I can use this cooperation to gain a deeper understanding of its special abilities, so I can better deal with it later."

The clown waved his hand. "I'll lead the way... Follow behind me!"

I vaguely remember that the Main Control Room is different from the ordinary staff rooms; it's quite special! As long as we follow the signs at the fork in the road, we should be able to get there smoothly.

"Good..."

The clown added one more thing:

"I know you're deliberately hiding some abilities to use against me later in the story... However, I advise you not to hide too many, otherwise the things here will kill you instantly, and even if I wanted to save you, it would be too late."

"Okay, I'll call a helper."

Han Dong snapped his fingers.

Ms. Chen Li made an appearance.

However, Chen Li was afraid of the clown, so she leaned against Han Dong as soon as she appeared.

"Not bad... Here's a gift for you, Miss. But if you expose your body directly to the Middle Layer, there might be problems."

Hiss!

The clown ripped off his own mask while he was still alive.

The skin that had just peeled off immediately transformed into a special mask with a White Face Red Lips.

The clown was completely unharmed; through efficient regeneration and the reassembly of strips of flesh, he instantly formed a new face.
