Key

It is neither a shop nor a key-cutting cart.

The area where the Key Master corresponds to an apartment building.

"This... is way too obvious."

Han Dong and the clown stood in front of the apartment building, not yet stepping inside.

The stairwell is filled with keys... you could even say that the handrails and stairs are all made of keys, and the walls are also covered with keychains of various styles.

It's like directly stating that the "Key Master" lives there.

The clown tries to explore the inside using Smiling Face Balloon.

The balloon had just flown in.

The keychains embedded in the stairwell immediately began to vibrate, and the balloons burst instantly... The balloon fragments landed on the surface of the metal gears and were immediately crushed and swallowed up.

"A rather interesting key room..."

Although the clown said it was funny, he refused to budge and insisted that Han Dong walk in front.

"Such a precise structure."

The Lesser Demon Eye opened fully.

The true appearance of the building was immediately apparent... it was simply a fully metal mechanical building with a concrete cladding.

Han Dong also noticed a special poster at the entrance of the building. "Custom keys, please enter here."

"It seems unlikely that it will attack living creatures."

Han Dong did not trigger any mechanisms when he stepped into the stairwell.

Moreover, after several observations, it was confirmed that there were no dangerous legends in this key building.

The difficulty in meeting the "Key Master" lies in deciphering the mystery.

Each floor of the apartment building has multiple iron gates. Each gate is opened with a different key embedded in the wall, leading to a different room.

Only by using the correct key to open the correct iron gate can you reach the room where the "Key Master" is located.

"Is it simply an intelligence test?"

There are probably millions of keys in this building, and if we were to search relentlessly, it would likely take hundreds of years to find the correct room.

Although the Lesser Demon Eye can perform extensive observations and compare the tooth-like patterns of keys with the locks of various doors one by one, there are still tens of thousands of options after such filtering.

"The Joker... is there any way?"

"That's interesting."

The clown had pressed his face completely against the keyhole of an iron door, carefully examining its internal structure.

"The locksmiths here aren't very careful... it's just a double layer of security consisting of the key and the transforming array."

"Nicholas, with your eyes, you should be able to copy the array in the keyhole, right?"

"It should be fine."

"That's fine... we don't need to look for the key at all."

The clown chewed gum and blew air into the lock.

The blown-out balloons immediately adhered to the internal structure of the keyhole, forming a perfectly matching key, which Han Dong then matched with an array using his pupil technique.

The way the two worked together was exactly like that of a pair of thieves.

Click...

The first door opened normally.

Inside, there are various metal machines for making keys, and a large number of gears that keep this key building turning between the walls. Unfortunately, the "Key Master" is not inside.

that's all.

As the two Door Opening and entered the Third Floor... click!

"... It seems I still need to improve the structure of the [Key House]."

Inside the room, in front of a precision manufacturing table covered with anatomical images of the human body, a dwarf is creating a multi-structured key with an embedded spring-loaded mechanism.

"Hello, Mr. Aha sent us... Due to time constraints, we used a little special method."

"Methods don't matter... Being able to find my residence in half an hour proves you do have the ability to infiltrate [The Lighthouse]..."

"Since Mr. Aha sent you, you should be here to pick up this key... He commissioned me to make one two years ago, but he's only coming to collect it now. Really."

The "Key Master" stuck out his tongue and licked away the metal shavings from the surface of the newly polished key.

He then jumped off the chair and led Han Dong and the other man to the top floor.

A strong fishy smell.

When the Key Master opens a key room on the top floor, it feels like stepping into a slaughterhouse.

"This is the Bone Key House. Some special Biomass Door can only be matched with bone keys... The key you need is located at the Depths."

As Han Dong followed the Key Master deeper into the area, he observed the bone keys there.

Some are made from finger bones, delicate and small, and even retain the skin structure.

Some hang on the wall, made from the spine, and are super-large keys... There is even a key made from a spine that is still being made. A certain strange entity is being fixed to the surface of the [mold], staring at Han Dong and the others with a ferocious expression.

Staring at this [Bone Key House].

The clown, however, wore a grotesque smile, clearly intrigued.

They even conceived the idea of recruiting Key Master to Derry Town Derry Town to replace the locks on every household there with these Biomass Door.

"This is..."

Follow the Key Master to the Depths compartment.

A remarkably precise living key was soaking in a glass container.

Using a fresh heart as the stem end,

The finger bones are spoon-shaped, and capillaries are wrapped around the gaps between the finger bones.

Various finely polished white teeth are used as key teeth.

Capillaries connect the heart to every tooth.

When the key is turned, blood is evenly distributed to each tooth, which then pairs with a special lock to open the door.

"Remember, this key can only be used once. Once the blood is removed from the heart, the key is useless... You must find the right door."

Otherwise, I would have to spend several more months remanufacturing it.

Moreover, the keys themselves are also very expensive.

Han Dong stared at the living key and asked in confusion, "This shouldn't be the key to the lighthouse gate, right?"

"Of course not! Strange... Didn't Mr. Aha mention the key to you?"

"He didn't say."

At that moment, the Key Master revealed an evil smile.

At the same time, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and made a call to Mr. Aha via internal line to confirm the matter.

"Okay! Here's the key. You can ask him for details when you get back... Don't be scared by the story behind it."

I'm personally really looking forward to seeing how this key will be used.

The Key Master took a special key box out of his pocket.

The living key was attached and handed to Han Dong. At the same time, a system notification appeared:

Key item obtained: [Blood Key]

The dwarf Key Master, holding onto the arm of a discarded mannequin in a nearby trash can, waved goodbye to the two men.

On the way back, the Joker put his hands in his pockets and said, "Nicholas, don't you think something's a little strange?"

Han Dong stared down at the cobblestones on the street as people walked by, deep in thought, and didn't respond to the clown for the time being.

About two streets later.

Han Dong suddenly stopped...

"The Joker wants you to do something for him... After it's done, you can make one reasonable request."

"Oh?!"

For a moment, an exaggerated smile appeared on the clown's lips.
