Exposure

The main lifeline was completely severed.

The Godmother, who can only store her consciousness in the "Substitute Scarecrow Puppet," is currently sealed by Han Dong with yellow sand. If she relies on herself, she will have no chance of rebirth.

During this time, Han Dong quickly flipped through the documents in the office, using his Lesser Demon Eye" to search for hidden compartments.

"I am the only person appointed by the Lord to manage the tailor factory. A large number of scarecrows have died, and the factory has ceased operations! The Lord will arrive soon, and you and your friends will have no way to escape."

The curse imposed by the Lord is something that flesh and blood cannot resist.

You will surely drown in the endless mire of fear, becoming the lowest-level straw laborers, working here forever.

Let this straw puppet rant and rave here.

Han Dong completely ignored it and diligently searched for the supporting documents needed for the hidden plot in his the Godmother's office.

About three minutes passed.

Due to the death of the Godmother, the main control room was left unattended, causing the tailor factory's operations to be forcibly halted... The so-called "Lord" mentioned by the Godmother descended.

The Godmother was also trembling all over, and straws kept falling off her body.

After all, she failed to defeat the invaders despite using a large number of Mechanical Scarecrow, which was a dereliction of duty on her part... and could seriously affect her future promotion to become Hidden Resident.

"My lord! This group of people maliciously vandalized your tailor factory and even tried to steal core tailoring information from my office... Please kill them with the most evil curse."

Before the Lord had fully arrived, the Godmother began to clamor again.

Han Dong seemed to have gathered all the necessary information and turned around calmly.

The shattered iron gate of the office.

The deformed, sutured left arm was dragging on the ground.

The mechanical right arm gripped a terrifying scythe wreathed in dark energy.

A layer of straw cloth was attached to the rusty steel body.

Its head has a large mouth full of sharp teeth and worm-like creatures, capable of releasing a high level of fear pressure.

This is... the "outer shell".

As for the special Hidden Resident, the so-called neighborhood committee members, they are sitting on the shoulders of the shell - like children licking corn lollipops.

The child was looking into the room through button eyes sewn onto a straw headdress.

Han Dong was also slightly surprised.

Although there was some prior expectation, no one expected that the Hidden Resident " would actually be this child eating a lollipop... Such a 'well-behaved' image is completely different from Miles, not to mention that it is also a member of the neighborhood committee in Derry Town.

"My lord, kill him immediately! He is the culprit who destroyed the factory..."

The words were not yet finished.

The child extended one finger and hooked it back.

Forcibly pull out the tongue (soul) from the straw doll's body.

The outer shell begins to move, and the sickle swings...

The soul was severed; the Godmother's tongue was cut off.

Destruction at the level of the soul.

This the Godmother will permanently lose her right to 'speak'.

With a smile, Han Dong, posing as a 'reporter,' officially began exposing the Black Heart Workshop.

"Chairman Sam, the intelligence I have gathered so far is sufficient to prove that the Godmother Edithson abused her authority in managing the tailor factory to appropriate high-quality and perfect straw for her own use."

When Han Dong said those words, the Godmother wanted to argue, but she couldn't say a word.

"Moreover, when the amount of perfect, High Quality Straw submitted each month is insufficient, some good-quality straw that has been modified will be mixed in to pass it off as good straw."

As for the high-quality or Perfect Straw secretly plundered by her the Godmother, she is using them to create the "Perfect Body."

Han Dong touched the hidden compartment in the wall that he had just discovered.

Click-clack~ The cement wall on the side of the office descends, revealing a steel safe the size of an entire wall.

The Godmother was horrified when she saw this.

Without needing to enter a password, Han Dong simply touched the surface of the safe with one hand, forcibly turning it into sand...

A near-perfect female body is hidden inside.

The skin and basic framework are tightly woven from "High Quality Straw".

The entire internal system of blood vessels, organs, and tissues is constructed from "Perfect Straw."

Flawless, comparable to a Art Piece.

Currently, only the brain and eyes are not yet fully constructed; many Perfect Straw are still missing.

If such a Perfect Straw shell were constructed, and the Godmother transferred her consciousness into it, Han Dong and Huo Ziping would need to expend a great deal of effort to deal with this the Godmother, and there would even be danger involved.

With such a Perfect Straw shell, the Godmother certainly deserves to be Hidden Resident.

Unfortunately... it was leaked by reporter Han Dong beforehand.

The sickle slashed down.

With the death of the Godmother, even the last vestige of her soul was severed.

The broken straw dolls Transform Into into Perfect Straw, completing the Godmother's final masterpiece.

After doing all this, the Scarecrow Kid Sam used a black watercolor pen to draw a smiley face on his face, and then took out a special stamp from his pocket and handed it to Han Dong.

A black, round badge with the town emblem of Derry Town engraved on its surface.

Then, the child rode on its outer shell and quickly left the factory area.

"Fully exposing the Godmother Edithson's crimes, hidden plot - [The Black Heart Workshop] Completed"

Hidden Reward:

①. A perfect straw shell.

②. Residents' Committee Certification Medal (Officially unlocks [Resident Missions])

Han Dong immediately put the straw shell into his head area for later study.

Keep the certification badge safe and use it when you leave the farm.

The corn lollipop that the Scarecrow Kid had given him was now in Han Dong's hand.

"The reason everything went so smoothly was because we had won the Scarecrow Kid's favor beforehand, which allowed us to reveal the truth so easily."

If you had chosen to 'kill' or 'ignore' the child in the straw field from the beginning, the outcome would have been very different.

Of course, this might prevent the triggering of such hidden storylines.

It's still important to be a good person in Destiny Event.

After giving himself a "good guy" card, Han Dong tidied up the place a bit and waited for his teammates to arrive.

Completing the hidden mission means that the factory area is no longer dangerous.

A short while later.

Led by Huo Ziping, the two teams arrived at the Depths of the underground factory, where the exit was just ahead... but there seemed to be a certain tension among the crowd.

The group searching for a cure for the curse in the cornfield amusement park seems to have encountered a conflict of interest.

Or perhaps, Diana's personal issues sparked the controversy.

Han Dong also overheard the largest young man in the opposing team give a keyword – ' the Bone Demon's Daughter '.

Following the factory's secret passage, the group successfully escaped the farm and appeared in a grove of trees.

But... just as they left the danger zone...

Diana, who kept her head down the whole time, had a fierce look on her face. A spiral bone spur more than a meter long grew directly from her palm, revealing her murderous intent.

Seeing this, Gongsun Hao, the most warlike member of the Nine Provinces team, also released his fighting spirit and threw a punch.

"Enough!"

With a wave of his hand, Han Dong summoned more than ten arms of yellow sand that rose from the ground, forcibly stopping Diana's Attack Behavior.

Huo Ziping was more direct.

He swung his sword directly at Gongsun Hao's neck, startling the latter into a cold sweat.
