Main Control Room

"Ouch!

"It's broad daylight, and although nothing particularly troublesome has appeared... there are just too many of these little bugs!"

On the way to the Main Control Room, strange things kept appearing in the walls.

The clown at the very front was like a whack-a-mole, smashing heads off with each blow.

Without Han Dong making a move, the gray-white passageway instantly transformed into a pile of monster corpses.

It wasn't just the 'indoor rats' we encountered at the beginning.

Occasionally, a kind of Spirit Body or ghost will appear, similar to the ' Eye of Naxxramas ', with a humanoid upper body and a Spirit Body tail dragging its lower body.

Terrifying screams echoed along the way, heading straight for the team.

The screams went straight into the eardrums and into the brain, similar to a sonic attack... However, Han Dong's "Plague Doctor Attire" can greatly cancel out the sonic waves, and he can remain unaffected as long as he concentrates.

The Spirit Body, appearing directly in front of the body, attempt to penetrate and cause damage from within.

Before Han Dong and Chen Li could even make a move.

The clown tugged at his glove and easily grabbed the incorporeal Spirit Body as it rushed toward him.

These Spirit Body were not given a chance to struggle at all.

Open your mouth

Eat,

chew,

swallowing

Burp!

"Delicious! It tastes like durian-filled candy."

The clown, who had swallowed several terrifying Spirit Body, still looked unsatisfied, constantly licking his fingers as if he hadn't had enough.

Upon witnessing this scene, Han Dong immediately understood something.

"No wonder... the Destiny System repeatedly warned us that we must not clash with the Joker before we have gathered enough information about him."

In fact, even if we obtain enough Ultimate Intel, even if we understand the Joker's abilities... when a real battle breaks out, the chances of our four-person team winning are not very high.

However, some high-level intelligence might reveal the Joker's 'weak point'.

The thought of resolving things here and then having to return to New Derry Town to use the clues I've gathered to reignite the battle against the Joker is terrifying.

Han Dong stared at the strange corpses that filled the passageway, looking helpless.

At this moment, Chen Li, who had her hair in pigtails, secretly transmitted her voice to Han Dong through their Master-Servant Relationship:

"Mr. Han Dong... did you take advantage of the strange creatures in the Underground Sewer to find an opportunity to kill this clown?"

"I had this idea from the beginning."

However, it's not so easy to implement now... Unlike the evil spirit in "The Hex," this clown is highly intelligent.

Moreover, the Joker possesses a variety of bizarre abilities, of which only a small portion has been revealed so far.

In this "Middle Layer" that even I can't fully understand, if the plan fails, the outcome will be worse than death.

"Then..." Chen Li didn't know what to do either.

"Continue to work with the Joker and do not do anything unusual."

If I come up with any plans that I am confident about, I will naturally let you know...

"Okay... but I don't really like this kind of psychopath."

Try to adapt.

Han Dong did not respond much.

Actually, he didn't think the Joker was 'crazy'.

A mentally ill person cannot reverse-engineer the rules of a game as an NPC, or even change some of the rules of Destiny Event to a certain extent.

In Han Dong's eyes, the Boss [The Clown] is an absolutely unique existence among all kinds of Destiny Event.

Han Dong had already vented First Year of his hatred for the Joker by destroying almost the entire left side of the Joker's body... Due to their cooperative relationship, coupled with the strong assistance provided by the Joker along the way.

Han Dong's attitude towards the clown has changed somewhat.

Since all the little creatures that crawled out of the tunnel were left to the clown to deal with.

Han Dong followed behind, secretly extracting the Cellular Essence from the corpses using a metal syringe... On average, one point of Cellular Essence could be obtained from 3 to 5 monster corpses.

There's a certain satisfaction in following a max-level player through low-level dungeons while you just loot their corpses.

Even if each corpse only provides a small amount of Cellular Essence, Han Dong is still making a profit... As the number accumulates, Han Dong will have enough "Load Value" to expand the prison.

Main Control Room

Rumble! Rumble!

A loud mechanical roar came from behind the iron gate.

Opening this pressure-driven, heavy iron door is no easy task; it cannot be done by human power.

"I'll try to see if I can crack this combination lock."

To be honest, if Koslin were here, he could definitely decipher the code in a short time... Han Dong, who is engaged in biological research, would find it really difficult to handle such metal devices.

Just as Han Dong was about to use his "eye" to peer into the structure inside the keyhole.

Boom!

The clown standing in front of the metal door suddenly swung the sledgehammer in his hand.

The wall shook.

The steel gate was smashed open, creating a gap just big enough to fit a hand.

Such cracks were not enough to break the iron gate... Multiple heavy blows might have been able to break it open, but the clown chose a more brutal method.

Put down the sledgehammer.

The clown was actually Warm-up in front of the broken iron gate.

"Stretching exercises! 1, 2, 3, 4... 2, 2, 3, 4!"

Warm-up complete.

The clown clenched his hands into the crack in the iron gate and used pure brute force to pull the gate horizontally from side to side.

Click~ Click~ Click! (Metallic compression sound)

The heavily reinforced iron gate was somehow opened, creating an opening large enough for one person to pass through.

"This..." Han Dong was stunned. "How are we supposed to play like this!?"

All sorts of strange and unusual abilities are one thing.

How can we compete with that brute force... Even if Cas, the strongest member of the team, receives a power boost, he couldn't possibly reach such an exaggerated level, right?

He tore open three layers of iron gates with his bare hands.

Once a human body is grabbed by a clown, it's almost as if the clown is tearing up a piece of paper.

Let's go!

Han Dong was stunned for a moment, then immediately followed him into the [Main Control Space].

When Han Dong saw the scene inside, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Giant piston-like metal devices are operating on both sides.

The power supply for the operation of the device is neither ordinary electrical energy nor steam drive.

Instead, they are twelve glass containers set up in the [Main Control Space].

Inside the container filled with liquid was a 'human' wearing a breathing mask!

Their bodies were connected to various small conduits, the other ends of which converged at the bottom of the container and connected to devices on both sides of the room via energy converters.

At the same time, some catheters are also connected to hidden areas.

"A human power generator? Something seems off..."

It was around the time the "Weirdo Squad" set foot here.

All the 'humans' inside the glass containers suddenly opened their eyes, staring intently at the three people with Blood Filaments eyes.

A sense of danger swept over Han Dong.

These 'humans' are mutating rapidly.

Gray blood vessels stood out on their skin, and different signs slowly emerged... The danger level was getting higher and higher.

Han Dong quickly scanned these guys with his eyes and discovered a problem.

I misunderstood!

The giant piston devices on both sides of the room are powerful generators! Through energy converters, energy is continuously input into the bodies of these 'people'.

Meanwhile, the ducts connecting their vital organs (brain, heart, core muscle tissue) appear to be delivering special aberrant substances to them.

Is this a 'bioengineering lab'?
