Tailor Church

The other end of the farm.

The four Asian youths had barely ventured deep into this place when they received messages from the Hidden Resident, about a curse being forcibly imposed upon them... They, too, inevitably developed straw growing on their skin.

Apart from Captain Huo Ziping being able to slightly suppress the curse through his unique mental techniques, the team members had no way to deal with this forcibly imposed curse.

At this time, Yu Wu, through his extraordinary hearing, listened to various noises in the farm area.

Being inside the situation allows you to hear more noise and distinguish between different layers.

"It's pretty much confirmed that the other team is in this farm area."

In addition, there are two areas on the farm with strong noise.

The loudest noise is probably from the "Sam's Cornfield Paradise" mentioned in the prompt, which is filled with cheerful whistles reminiscent of amusement parks.

Secondly, the noise located in the East Side area resembles the sound of a sewing machine.

"Captain, it's up to you how you plan to arrange things."

"Can you determine the location of the other team?"

When the topic of the other team came up, Yu Wu looked puzzled.

"It's a bit strange... I can only hear the noise of two superhumans."

Logically speaking, the team involved in the hidden events couldn't possibly consist of only two people.

After all, this is a chain reaction event, and knowing that the inner chapter won't be easy, most people will choose to enter with a full team of four.

Huo Ziping, however, thought it was quite normal.

"It's possible that someone in the opposing team has a stronger sense of perception than your hearing, or that they've concealed themselves using disguise."

Of course, it's also possible that the opposing team is a retinue sent by the old king, Even Though the two of them cooperate, they would be enough to deal with the Fate Monster.

This regional lockdown is rather strange. If we let the Hidden Resident here lead us by the nose, we might end up with one of us turning into a scarecrow and being stuck here forever due to a lack of antidote."

"Yu Wu, you take Gongsun Hao and Ma Taotao with you to [Sam's Cornfield Paradise] to obtain as many curse delaying potions as possible... I'll go check out the East District by myself."

"Captain... the noise in the East District is relatively low, but it only indicates surface-level danger. Won't it be too dangerous for you to go alone?"

Yu Wu has absolute faith in the captain's abilities.

However, after encountering a Hidden Resident in the tunnel and learning about the 'inevitable death' ability from the encyclopedia, Yu Wu believed that the team should always stick together under any circumstances.

"An overly narrow and cautious approach will greatly reduce the chances of finding a way out..."

This time, the Hidden Resident were a little different. Even Though we were cursed and marked, we were not attacked by any scarecrows during our time deep inside the farm.

Just Yu Wu had foreseen the peaceful murmurs, the Hidden Resident here were different from Mary Shaw.

"Alright... Captain, be careful."

With his squinting eyes, Yu Wu moved swiftly across the fields without leaving any footprints, using a technique similar to light-footed martial arts. Gongsun Hao and Ma Taotao followed closely behind.

Huo Ziping immediately stepped into the cornfield beside him and headed towards the eastern part of the farm.

During his time travel, Huo Ziping slaughtered all the scarecrows he encountered... Huo Ziping could see the "lifeline" of these scarecrows at a glance.

No matter what form the enemy takes or how well it hides its weaknesses, a single sword strike is enough to kill it.

"Church?"

soon.

Huo Ziping, who lives near the East District, saw a rural church with white walls and red tiles.

The church was shrouded in a thick fog, and even the image of a terrifying scarecrow was reflected in the sky.

"A gathering place for evil creatures... Yu Wu's hearing is still quite sharp."

Huo Ziping tiptoed along the path through the cornfield, heading straight for the church.

Suddenly, a scarecrow child, less than half a meter tall, appeared on the side of the road with a corn lollipop in his mouth.

Without the scarecrow child conveying any murderous intent... Huo Ziping's eyes were cold, and three different thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

The sword at his waist was drawn half an inch from its sheath before being sheathed again.

Huo Ziping's eyes were resolute as he headed straight for the church area.

The Scarecrow Kid, with a bewildered expression, slowly licked the corn candy in his hand and disappeared into the cornfield.

... (Ten minutes later, Han Dong arrived at the church before Huo Ziping)

"Is this the Tailor Church? The reason the scarecrow can't enter must be because of the special barrier at the entrance."

The church has no windows; the only entrance is the main door.

However... a giant black iron nail, half a meter long, was fixed to the door, creating a special barrier that sealed off the church, giving it the feel of a ' Safehouse '.

It gives people the illusion that once inside, they will not be affected by the ' Scarecrow Disease '.

Large amounts of straw fragments were scattered in front of the door, suggesting that many scarecrows had come here and died after being reflected by the barrier while trying to break into the church.

As you approach the church, you can faintly hear the sound of a sewing machine running continuously.

"Someone's there..."

Han Dong immediately sneaked into the shadows and found a punk-style young man whose body was covered in straw due to the outbreak of a curse. He was riding his motorcycle to the church and asking for help.

"The Godmother Edithson, please save me! I am a devout believer... I come here to worship every week, or every three weeks."

As if hearing the young man's plea, the door, studded with iron nails, slowly opened.

At that moment, Han Dong, using a combination of Dark Magic and Mimicry, transformed himself into a crow and followed the young man into the church.

The sound of the sewing machine grew louder inside.

As the young man stepped into the church, he immediately saw his ' The Godmother ' waving to him.

Although he could only see a black outline, the young man was convinced that it was his the Godmother, who could help him remove the straw growing on his skin.

Quickly cross the nave and the high altar, and enter a 'sewing room' through a small door at the back of the church.

Ah!!

The screams quickly stopped... Han Dong was temporarily hiding on the beam in the central hall, was not quite sure what had happened in the room.

"You have entered the special area - [The Tailor Church]. Uncovering the church's secrets may trigger special side quests or Main Plot."

"Hmm? The main storyline?"

This information startled Han Dong slightly.

This was the first time he had touched the 'main storyline', but Han Dong was a little confused... Why had he touched on events related to the main storyline before even arriving in Derry Town?

in addition.

With Han Dong's Lesser Demon Eye, the 'waving the Godmother ' he glimpsed at the door of the back room was just a stitched-together monster, Humanoid Lifeform created by meticulously stitching together iron sheets, various pieces of meat, and straw.

The true the Godmother should reside deep within the church.

Just then.

An extremely powerful aura swept over us!

Bass!

The church door, studded with iron nails, was cleaved open with Sword Slash.

Perhaps due to the influence of his aura and personal temperament, Han Dong was momentarily blinded, thinking that a 'sword immortal' from a cultivation novel had descended upon the evil place.

Upon closer inspection.

It turned out to be a young man wearing a gray trench coat.

With his braid falling over his left shoulder and a golden Dragon Pattern Sword hanging at his waist, the young man's Asian features made him look like a modern-day swordsman.

It doesn't quite fit the current context of Destiny Event.

"Martial artists from Dragon City?"
