Han Dong's Speculation
As Mia stared at the eerie demonic sword, she felt like her mouth was about to water.
"Nicholas... I really love this cursed sword!"
Moreover, since it's something from the Destiny World, there must be a way to take it out. At worst, I can just use up some points myself... Last time, they went to great lengths to control the [Mother] in the Stuart Manor.
"If I can obtain this demonic sword, I will use every skill I have to overcome this Destiny Event!"
Mia could clearly sense the true strength of this demonic sword.
Once she gets her hands on it, her future ' Knight's Path ' will be much smoother.
Han Dong asked in a low voice, "Is this your 'request'? We've just arrived at the park, and if this isn't handled properly, we'll be in a hopeless situation."
A debt of 100 points will plunge us into the abyss.
"Requests...requests..." Mia looked aggrieved.
Han Dong continued, "If you're not willing, I'll choose the safer way to 'rank up'."
"Okay... I'll use up my 'request'." Mia's face fell as the image of her forming a large family with Nicholas and having a baby spider-like creature shattered in her mind.
"OK."
The "requirement" has been used.
Even if Han Dong is free of one constraint... otherwise, if Mia were to make a request and pester him to go to bed with her every day, Han Dong would have to cut back on a lot of his study time.
in addition.
As Mia said, she did indeed help Han Dong a lot in obtaining the "land deed".
The shop owner suddenly chimed in, "You definitely won't lose out on this deal... Let me give you a heads-up."
In this area, I am the only "shop" that sells this item. The most valuable item is this demon sword that combines "Clue and Spirit Tool." Its quality is enough for you to deal with some ancient "ghost stories."
Moreover, this demon sword is unique and cannot be sold in other "shops".
It's impossible for me to give you 10 points in advance and let you have them.
If you give up the current opportunity.
When the next team comes here, they will definitely buy the "Demon Blade" at all costs.
"Okay! How do I pay?"
"Stretch out your arm..."
Mr. Aha flicked his mud-covered fingernails.
Drops of rain and bits of Red Umbrella fabric were slowly drawn out from under Han Dong's skin.
"Have you finished the ghost story of 'Rain Woman. Crimson' ahead of schedule? That's pretty good."
After receiving payment, Mr. Aha went to the knife rack.
Inside, there is a small drawer containing a note.
[Demon Blade Hun Gui] - Find a Crooked Neck Tree growing in a shallow pond in a dark, damp corner of the "Commercial District." Take the demon sword with you, and you will encounter something.
"Make sure you're prepared... I've already warned you, this demon sword is the most valuable item in this 'shop.' Obtaining it won't be easy; it might even require paying a price."
Han Dong doesn't plan to use the remaining 8 points for now; he'll keep them as a safety net, just in case.
Saying goodbye to Mr. Aha.
Mia held the demon sword and rubbed it against her face repeatedly, looking excited.
Han Dong then carefully put away the clue note.
As soon as he closed the shop door, Han Dong said in a low voice:
"We've been scammed..."
"Huh? I was tricked by the shop owner?" Wen Li immediately put on an angry look, as if she was about to smash Door Opening and settle accounts with the other party.
"No... I mean, we were deceived by humans within the framework of fate."
"What do you mean?" Wenli tilted her head slightly, completely confused.
"I was puzzled from the start because the style of this 'shop' was completely out of place for humans who possess advanced technology."
Furthermore, the prop book that Mr. Aha just showed did not contain the "Escape Pass" that could be exchanged for 100 points as mentioned in the train broadcast.
Furthermore, Mr. Aha is not human either.
I'm 70% sure that the "shop" selling all sorts of items is itself a kind of "ghost story"... entirely controlled by "Mr. Aha".
The humans in this world have never been able to control the paradise.
They only learned about the "shop" through information gathered from previous groups of death row inmates, believing it to be a relatively neutral "Supernatural Shop" that could be utilized to assist the inmates in their in-depth investigation of the amusement park.
"Huh!?" Wenli looked surprised, completely unaware of this possibility.
Her idea was very simple.
As long as you keep solving strange tales and accumulate enough points, you can exchange them for an "Escape Pass" in the shop to successfully conclude this Destiny Event.
If it were Destiny Event of two-star difficulty, Han Dong might really end up like this.
But this is a five-star difficulty level. Han Dong had some doubts when he listened to the announcement on the train, wondering if it was too easy... Now that he has met Mr. Aha, he is even more certain.
The most difficult part of this Destiny Event, the "Ghost Story".
The key probably lies in how to 'escape'.
To earn more Supernatural Points, you must venture deeper into the amusement park.
But the deeper you go, the harder it is to break free.
If this conflict cannot be resolved, Han Dong and the others will be trapped here forever.
Han Dong continued to state his speculation:
"Humans simply cannot control the park."
In order to stabilize the park and ensure that the world is not affected, they even actively introduced "Bionic Person" into the park to build a healthy city that satisfies the "ghost stories".
Subsequently, through a "Death Row Policy," outstanding death row inmates were selected from prisons around the world and formed into suicide squads to gather intelligence on the park.
Humans outside used this information to try to stabilize this "Supernatural Paradise".
If things get out of control, this world might become like ours, where humanity is confined to small areas. And wandering outside the city will be all sorts of strange tales.
"That makes sense..."
Abel nodded, agreeing with Han Dong's speculation.
Han Dong took a deep breath. "In short, let's deal with the demon sword first... After we improve our Combat Power to a certain extent, we can slowly find a balance point for the 'contradictions'."
It can instill fear in a technologically advanced human society, causing them to spare no expense to maintain its balance.
The park itself is more dangerous than we can imagine.
Therefore, even at the highest difficulty level, our ultimate goal is simply to escape, not to fully uncover the secrets of the park or to defeat a final boss.
We'll try to get as many points as possible without going too deep... then, we'll leave.
They returned to the main street.
Knowing that each prisoner was exceptionally capable, the team decided to stop splitting up.
They inquired about the "Crooked Neck Tree" through various channels.
Most of the information obtained needed to be filtered out... but there was one piece of intelligence that Han Dong felt was very useful for reference.
Rumor has it that a Crooked Neck Tree occasionally appears in the forest behind an open-air hot spring inn... and some people have even heard women crying while bathing.
