Temporary Cooperation
First, a challenging illusion trial is presented using the "Motel," and then the universal key is given to Han Dong, the first to break the illusion.
Using a key as a starting point.
The second test begins.
To verify whether Han Dong has the ability to sneak into the morgue without disturbing the director and accurately locate the unidentified female corpse hidden in one of the Mortuary Cabinet.
The female corpse was clearly acting with a purpose, having meticulously planned all of this.
"... Do you want to make a 'secret deal' with me?" Han Dong asked.
As his fingers touched her, the clear, elegant voice of the female corpse echoed in Han Dong's mind.
"There is indeed something I need your help with. There is an encrypted file stored in my body, and I need you to secretly put this file into Richard Powell's desk drawer."
The entire process must remain undetected.
Of course, I'll help you behind the scenes.
Regardless of the female corpse's motives for doing this.
The danger of this mission was no less than that of a direct confrontation with Dean Richard Powell.
It was easy for Han Dong to sneak into the morgue.
However, sneaking into the Dean's Office undetected would be several levels more difficult... The dean's office is also the most dangerous area in the hospital.
If discovered internally, Han Dong will be in a dead end.
But... there is one advantage here.
Han Dong will receive assistance from Jane Doyle.
"I am an outsider, while you and Dean Richard are residents of Derry Town ... Please give me a reason to believe you."
Never use any hypothetical answers.
I need tangible proof that you genuinely want me to do this, and not to send me to Dean Richard's office as a sacrifice, bait, or for some other evil purpose.
"Put your hand in my mouth, you should be able to feel a thread."
Han Dong did as instructed, prying open the woman's mouth and touching the Fine Threads at the tip of her tongue.
"Take it out, there's the 'reason' you're looking for inside."
Han Dong grabbed the Fine Threads, which was covered in saliva, and slowly pulled out a piece of white paper stored in his stomach.
Upon unfolding, it was discovered that the blank paper was actually a temporary cooperation agreement.
The document states that Hidden Resident Jane Doyle and Sam are temporarily cooperating. During the contract period, they will not harm or indirectly endanger each other or their personnel. The contract also specifically mentions Han Dong's name.
Sam's name was woven into straw at the end of the contract. This special straw only existed on Sam, which was enough to verify the authenticity of the contract.
Han Dong, laughing wildly, was certain that he was not affected by any illusions.
Just then, the female corpse continued to speak, "This is a temporary cooperative relationship I established with Sam using my [Prosecutor] privileges... Why didn't I meet someone as interesting as you first?"
The female corpse showed some 'favorability' towards Han Dong in her conversation.
As for Han Dong, his attitude towards the female corpse was neutral... Even with the previous motel incident, overall, the female corpse provided a special key, allowing Han Dong to find another way to complete the Main Plot.
After a moment's thought, Han Dong nodded.
If cooperation is denied here, the subsequent process of obtaining the brain will inevitably be interfered with by the female corpse... This is a fatal point.
Han Dong then offered his own opinion, "Okay... since this is a transaction."
If I'm not mistaken, the letter you want me to put on the dean's desk should be enough to shake his current position... Once discovered, I will suffer the dean's endless wrath.
I want an item along with two important pieces of information.
"You go first."
"What I need first is a ' Perfect Life Quality Brain ' stored at the Central Hospital."
"Can."
"Richard Powell's personal file."
"Can."
"The Joker - Pennywise's Personal File"
"..."
When Han Dong made his third request, the female corpse immediately sank.
An unusual feeling permeated the morgue.
The temperature dropped sharply by 30°C.
Even the Mortuary Cabinet was covered in frost.
Half a minute later, the female corpse made a sound again.
"You actually know this guy... No wonder I could sense something similar to that bug on you."
"Unfortunately, we met a few years ago."
"All information about it has been completely blocked by the [clerk]. Currently, no one in Derry Town is allowed to discuss anything about it... I can't give you any information about it either."
"Oh? That strict?"
"The 'disaster' that Pennywise brought to the town caused irreparable damage."
Furthermore, the perfect brain in the Central Hospital and the information value of one of the "Ten Demons" are already very high, fully justifying this transaction.
Han Dong nodded.
It's natural that something is amiss; otherwise, there wouldn't be no information about the Joker at all until now.
However, the female corpse's answer also reveals a very important point: the clown is indeed not dead and should be somewhere in Derry Town.
"Alright."
The deal is done.
"The documents you need to put on the dean's desk, as well as Dean Richard's personal file, are all stored in my body. You can take them yourself... As for the perfect brain, once the matter is completed, I will hand it over directly to 'Sam,' as it is something he will definitely need."
Remember, the documents you are required to store are highly confidential. If you peek into them, you will be violating our agreement, and I will immediately join forces with Dean Richard to kill you.
"Um."
After receiving permission to pick up the item yourself.
Han Dong didn't hold back and used his skillful dissection techniques to dissect the perfect female corpse.
Although the female corpse was expressionless, she seemed to be enjoying the dissection process.
As the dissection was completed, Han Dong also heard a notification sound that allowed him to relax:
Special Side Mission: The Corpse's Request, activated!
The requirements and rewards for the task are the same as those agreed upon in the discussion.
Han Dong reached into the stomach sac, which was covered with witchcraft marks and burn marks, and found documents sealed with a special wax seal, as well as Dean Richard's personal file.
In the blink of an eye, the wounds from the female corpse's dissection were completely healed, restoring her to her original flawless body.
Correspondingly.
"Illustrated Guide: The Hidden Resident, [Dean Richard Powell the Void], has been activated."
Because the temperature in the morgue was too low, Han Dong left temporarily, intending to check the information of the Ten Demons who were closest to God in the corridor.
As Han Dong returned to the morgue corridor, his gaze turned towards the deeper part of the morgue.
This was due to the full activation of the Lesser Demon Eye, coupled with the mental boost from maniacal laughter.
Han Dong could vaguely see something floating in the deepest part of the morgue.
"What is that?"
Just as Han Dong was about to investigate further, a rolling sound came from the wheels.
The female corpse, which should have been in morgue number 13, was now being slid out from the depths on a trolley, preventing Han Dong from trying to go deeper into the morgue area.
