Main Plot

Resident Mission (Main Plot #7): Materials for the Shell

Request: Help Sam, the head of the neighborhood committee, find the raw materials to manufacture the [Ultimate Shell].

(Materials: 30 Source Core Ore, 100 bundles of Perfect Straw, Permanent Power Source (custom-made), Perfect Life Quality Brain from Derry Town Central Hospital)

Time limit: None.

Reward: Each member of the team will receive a "Derry Town Permanent Residence Permit (Collective Household Registration, certified by the Neighborhood Committee)".

One of the major challenges of True Destiny is that many clues are missing, and the main storyline is not given directly, requiring participants to explore on their own... If the main storyline cannot be found, one will be trapped in the Destiny Space for a long time, and the danger will increase over time.

Once the main theme is established, the objective becomes relatively clear.

Furthermore, in the alternate world, obtaining a permanent residence permit will greatly reduce the danger.

Only then can one officially explore the subsequent plot as a resident and investigate the questions surrounding the Joker.

"It really is about the outer shell..."

Sam was completely indifferent to his the Godmother's death and the factory's shutdown, seemingly having long abandoned his plan to obtain the perfect shell from the underground workshop.

It turns out they had other plans, but couldn't find a suitable person to carry them out... My appearance just happened to fill that vacancy.

Several pieces of information need to be confirmed with Sam in person.

Han Dong immediately grabbed a pen and paper and found the Scarecrow Kid, Sam, at the entrance of the rice warehouse on the south side.

Where can we find Source Core Ore?

While asking questions, Han Dong also unfolded the entire map of Maine so that the child could point out the exact location of the mine on the map.

However, things were not as complicated as Han Dong had imagined.

The child used a small tool knife to cut open the mask.

A terrifying tongue covered in ghostly faces emerged from it.

'Sam's voice' was produced directly from the tongue, a single organ, a soul-stirring sound that instilled an instinctive fear in Han Dong, lingering in his ears.

"The ' Source Core Ore ' is the basic ore required for every household's construction in Derry Town, and there are multiple ways to obtain it within the Derry Town."

As for the power source, you can choose a heart with unlimited blood production or a mechanical engine that can operate indefinitely; the choice is yours.

Most importantly, there is the "Life Quality Brain." Not everyone can enter the Central Hospital in Derry Town, and even I can't enter some special areas.

Once you achieve this goal, I will provide you and your friends with permanent residence permits and register you under a collective household registration.

"OK..."

Since most of the materials were in Derry Town, Han Dong only needed to continue his journey.

However, the factory needs to be restarted before departure.

Han Dong appointed the old farmer he had Oldest One met to manage the factory's basic operations, collecting every perfect straw... as for straws of other qualities, he made no demands.

After assigning production tasks, there was still plenty of time.

Han Dong went straight back to the farmhouse and slept with his teammates... Although Han Dong was a little unhappy that the bodyguard he had just recruited took leave the next day.

But considering the hardship of the bodyguard chasing the car all night, Han Dong gave up the idea of 'cutting' it.

When the three woke up, it was already night.

The moon is very bright tonight.

The Ultimate Human Demon, Miles, whose skin emanated a dark red aura, stood in front of the farmhouse where Han Dong and the others were.

They struck their signature standing pose.

To others, Miles seemed to be about to go on a killing spree.

But in Han Dong's view, this was a standard bodyguard guard duty maneuver.

Tap tap tap!

Miles entered the farmhouse, and as the loud sound of leather shoes came from the hallway, Han Dong and his two companions leaped from the top floor of the farmhouse and landed steadily in front of the car.

This Ultimate Human Demon seems to be in excellent condition after a day of rest!

Relying on the moonlight at the window, they teleported and followed closely behind.

Han Dong resorted to the same old trick.

"Hyperplasia G-Arm"

The Mad Proliferation arm slammed down like a heavy hammer.

As he bumped into Miles, he was also struck by the dinner knife, leaving a corresponding Moonlight Imprint on Han Dong's neck... similar to clocking in at work.

That way, tonight's dog walk... with bodyguards accompanying us can proceed smoothly.

but.

The next thing Han Dong did made him freeze, and he didn't step on the gas for the time being.

The Scarecrow Kid, Sam, appeared in the middle of the road at some unknown time, blocking Miles's pursuit.

It's somewhat similar to a neighborhood committee auntie stepping in to mediate neighborly relations.

Sam's appearance actually temporarily stopped Miles's pursuit... Of course, this mediation was limited to the farm area; once they left the countryside, Miles would reappear from the moonlight.

Although it seemed unnecessary for Sam to stop Miles's behavior.

But this behavior has another meaning... that is, as long as Han Dong is in Sam's farm area, he will be protected by the neighborhood committee.

This is equivalent to having an additional "Safe Zone".

This is good news. If they accidentally make a mistake and attract the pursuit of many Hidden Resident, they can seek refuge at the farm.

Of course... residents with higher authority than Sam need to be considered separately.

Everything went smoothly, and we set off for Derry Town.

In the darkness of night.

A G-Class with its high beams on was driving on the main road.

The car stereo was playing music that the original owner had recorded in advance.

Han Dong drove with one hand, humming a tune, while his other hand moved back and forth between his mouth and a large bag of potato chips.

Cas, in the passenger seat, would occasionally glance at Miles, the ultimate bodyguard who was following 50-100 meters behind the car, and would remind Han Dong if there was any problem with the distance control.

After finishing a large bag of potato chips, Han Dong wiped the oil and crumbs from the corners of his mouth with a wet wipe and asked the two people with him a question.

"Cas, Diana... don't you find this strange?"

"In what aspect?" Cas, somewhat puzzled.

Diana, sitting in the back seat, simply shook her head, unaware that anything was amiss.

"The aspects of Derry Town and its residents."

"You mean... the overall difficulty is too high?"

"No... the difficulty is indeed very high, but the existence of the encyclopedia and the setting of some 'friendly residents' can reduce the difficulty to an acceptable level."

What I mean by strange is the 'coverage issue of the Inside Derry Town '.

We have never been to Inside Derry Town.

Our understanding of Inside Derry Town is simply projecting our concept of Derry Town onto it, merely considering it as a small town.

We've never seen what the real Inside Derry Town is like.

Let's assume that we are currently in ' Inside Derry Town ', Maine, which fits the setting of the story.

The different areas we drove to were the 'homes' of different residents: Miles in the Bates School area, Scarecrow Sam at Misato Farm ... Is that possible?

Han Dong's guess made a lot of sense, Cas nodded repeatedly.

Diana also fell into deep thought.

"After all, the Hidden Resident we've encountered so far are scattered across different areas and have each established their own production facilities... especially Sam, who has practically settled here."

If that's the case, according to the map, the ' Derry Town ' we're about to visit is very likely the central street... and the Central Hospital corresponding to the main quest is also located there.

Of course, this is just my guess.

Let's hold onto this idea for now and develop some additional plans.

I don't know why, even though the main storyline was clear, the neighborhood committee had its support, and the team had seized the initiative.

But Han Dong's heart still couldn't settle down.
