[exit]

Naturally, it serves as the junction Middle Layer and the Old Derry Town.

The Joker, and the recently killed "Mutated Doctor," must have entered the Middle Layer from the [exit] in reverse.

In the end, only the Joker successfully broke free from the restrictions of Old Derry Town and escaped to New Derry Town to start his new life.

To be continued.

As the Destiny World continues to improve and its exits are reinforced, reverse entry is no longer permitted.

That's why the Joker was able to build his 'game city' in New Derry Town with peace of mind.

When they heard that they needed to 'repair the exit'.

Throughout their journey, even when encountering "Mutated Doctor," he was always a clown with a grin, but for the first time, he showed a look of unease.

"The exit could never be destroyed... absolutely impossible! There's no exit in Old Derry Town. Unless..."

"Unless it is damaged from within the Middle Layer," Han Dong added.

This made the clown's expression even more unpleasant, with black grime even trickling down the corners of his eyes, and his words were more serious than ever before.

"We have to set off now to inspect and repair the exit immediately... If it's minor damage, that's fine. But if it's serious, we'll all die here."

At this point, the Joker suddenly turned his head, as if he had something important to announce.

"Valen Nicholas".

This is the first time the clown has addressed Han Dong by his English name.

"If you can fully assist me, we can stop this crisis."

I could consider going easy on your team after we return to Derry Town... if you do well! I might even consider faking my own death to let you clear the game and leave."

"Um."

The clown could tell at a glance whether Han Dong was lying or not based on his response.

At this moment.

The long-awaited intimacy level notification arrived.

"Your intimacy level has increased, and your relationship with the event boss, [The Clown - Pennywise], has changed from 'hostile' to 'neutral'. (Note: Intimacy can be further increased.)"

Han Dong was startled, thinking:

"Because of the dangerous events that threatened the Joker himself, coupled with the previous series of collaborations, the hostile relationship was finally eliminated... From now on, it can be considered a true collaboration."

If a greater crisis arises at the "exit" location, it might further enhance my relationship with the Joker.

If possible, it would be best to reach the same level of intimacy as Chen Li as a 'best friend'!

My ultimate goal can then be achieved in a simpler way.

The improvement in intimacy level allowed Han Dong to slowly revise his plan in his mind.

At the same time, he said to the clown:

"Give me five minutes, okay? Adding a teammate who is familiar with the Underground Sewer area might be helpful if we run into any trouble."

The clown pointed to the small balloon hanging from Han Dong's waist and said, "I'll go first... you can follow me later. If the exit has been damaged, we can't afford to waste any time."

You absolutely must come, or else! Neither you nor your teammates will leave alive.

"Um."

Whoosh!

Four more hairy Grasshopper Legs sprouted from the clown's waist.

Using the map as a reference, which could change at any moment, we quickly headed towards the exit.

The reason Han Dong chose to delay reviving Bella was that... the map could only show the route below, but not the specific details below.

Bella might know some secrets and be able to give early warnings... At the same time, Bella and her parasitic army can also provide Han Dong with combat assistance.

In Mutated Doctor's laboratory, Han Dong found experimental data on ' Human Aberration ' and restarted the device.

The "Perfect Parasite" was placed into a glass container.

Rumble! Rumble!

The mechanical device begins to operate, continuously inputting energy while simultaneously injecting a special solvent.

The parasites that were put into it began to react.

"I hope the system notification isn't deceiving me... Using the solvent ' Mutated Doctor ' used to create the aquatic Parasitic Worm should restore Bella's memory system to normal."

It really only took five minutes.

The original Parasitic Worm have evolved and differentiated into complete human individuals.

Fourteen-year-old Bella was curled up inside a glass container, slowly opening her eyes to look at Han Dong outside the jar.

With the help of solvents, fragmented memories are slowly pieced together and restored.

The Parasitic Host, which was almost destroyed by the clown, was saved by Han Dong.

Han Dong immediately found a White Coat in the lab and helped Bella put it on.

"Why... why am I here?! This is Dr. Tom's lab!"

Bella's memory was stuck during dinner; she had no recollection of walking around after drinking water.

Upon finding herself back in the laboratory where she had been 'reborn', Bella trembled with fear and looked around frantically.

Because she herself was also terrified of "Mutated Doctor," she absolutely did not want to recall her experience as an "experimental subject."

"Let me explain what happened... calm down."

Han Dong immediately explained the current situation and requested Bella's assistance.

In his explanation, Han Dong was well aware that Bella herself was resistant to and afraid of the Joker.

Therefore, when discussing...

Han Dong deliberately shifted the focus of the conflict to the 'damaged exit'... suggesting that there might be something even more dangerous, entering New Derry Town through the 'damaged exit'.

This could threaten the safety of Bella and her family.

Bella looked at the dilapidated laboratory and the remnants of the dead "Mutated Doctor".

"Okay... I'll trust you this once and take you there. If what you're saying is true, I'm willing to help... Please make sure the town is safe."

As for the Joker, we'll talk about that later.

After all, Han Dong had come to this dangerous Underground Sewer area in order to help her recover.

Bella was very grateful; otherwise, she wouldn't have even had the chance to say goodbye to her parents.

"Your intimacy level has increased. Your relationship with the event character [Bella Garcia (Parasite)] has changed from 'Neutral' to 'Friendly'. (Note: Intimacy can be further increased.)"

"Hmm... that's quite an unexpected bonus."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing... Bella, let's go."

"Um."

Wearing White Coat, Miss Bella moved nimbly and maintained her balance, a long, semi-transparent tail growing out from behind her... leading Han Dong and the other man towards the [exit].

And so, the Weirdo Squad gained another member, the "Parasite Sister".

"By the way, Bella."

What are these Fire Core Dust floating in the air?

Bella, walking through the passageway, was also puzzled. "I don't know either... I've never seen anything like this floating in the Underground Sewer before."

Han Dong sensed an uneasy atmosphere and immediately asked, "When was the last time you came here?"

About three days ago.

"It wasn't there three days ago, but it's here now? Could this Fire Core Dust have come from 'there'?"

Han Dong had a bad feeling.
