Dual Bodyguards
Main Plot #5 - [The Black Pyramid in the Void]
Requirements (choose one):
①. Unveiling Dean Richard Powell's shocking conspiracy.
After obtaining "sufficient" evidence, escape the Void Otherworld and head to the Town Hall to report the situation to the mayor in person (guided by personnel from Derry Town).
②. Kill Dean Richard Powell, preserve "sufficient" on-site evidence, and have the Town Hall staff personally go to the pyramids to investigate.
Rewards (guaranteed): "Permanent individual household registration in Derry Town (household head, certified by the Town Hall)" and a talent apartment.
Reward (possible): The secret treasure inside the pyramid.
"Huh!? I haven't even finished the main storyline yet, and here comes another one."
However, since the system has already given a notification, it means that Dean Richard is indeed attempting to create a void army in an attempt to invade Derry Town.
However, the so-called 'earth-shattering conspiracy' is probably not as simple as creating a void army and launching a rebellion.
When Miles arrived at the hospital, Dean Richard was still conducting his experiments.
This experiment may involve a deeper level of horror... There is a huge reward for anyone who can provide enough evidence to the mayor.
Completing the dual storylines would also help achieve Perfect Ending for the "It" movie series.
However... we must proceed cautiously, step by step. I hope Female Corpse Jane, has already received the note I left."
Having already reached the very bottom of the Black Pyramid, Han Dong quickly completed his deliberations and revised his original plan.
Han Dong currently has four chess pieces in his hand.
Chen Li has been placed in the hospital, waiting for the right opportunity to destroy the shrine.
Next, we will use the second piece.
"Nicole ..."
As Han Dong shouted, a large number of pink tentacles overflowed from her body, revealing Nicole's true form.
"The Void... I remember my father saying that we should avoid dealing with Void Lifeform as much as possible."
We just killed a converted believer; dealing with the headmaster will be very difficult.
"It's okay, Nicole, you only have one task."
"Find the last shrine hidden within the pyramid; your tentacles should be able to destroy it... As for the headmaster, we'll deal with him."
As Han Dong uttered the word 'we'.
The Hell Monk Togu, appear!
His body, made of steel and iron, is comparable to Miles's in terms of toughness, and both of them possess demonic attributes... However, their origins are completely different.
"Toggle (Devil's language)," Miles called out Toggle's name.
Togu nodded slightly, indicating that the current focus was on dealing with Dean Richard, and any other issues could be discussed later.
"Double bodyguards" activated!
The two monstrous demons will serve as Han Dong's right-hand men in this operation, working together to deal with the "Fifth Resident".
Seeing Han Dong's posture, Nicole realized there was no way to stop him, so she could only nod, "I will do my best to find the shrine..."
"Um!"
That's all.
Nicole once again used her Deep Sea Secret Art to Transform Into completely transparent Seawater, flowing and moving forward inside the pyramid.
With Han Dong and his two burly bodyguards drawing everyone's attention, Nicole was unlikely to be discovered.
"Come on... let's begin our exploration of the Black Pyramid."
After Boss Han spoke, the two bodyguards each used their skills to project their auras... the desired effect was to attract Dean Richard's attention.
The clattering of leather shoes and the dragging of chains echoed in the passageway.
Even Though the malevolent energy and hellfire lava overflowed wildly, blatantly damaging the pyramid's internal structure, no Void Lifeform came knocking.
Walking through the passage did not trigger any traps.
"It seems that Dean Richard is not easily influenced by emotions."
They were not disturbed at all by our invasion of the pyramids... and even allowed us to go deeper into the pyramids.
Are you planning to wait until we reach the Depths and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop?
The pyramids were built with hollow minerals, so they cannot be turned into sand... We can only proceed slowly.
Just as Han Dong, escorted by bodyguards, arrived at a fork in the road.
A stream of void fluid overflowed from between the walls.
A head radiating starlight was constructed before the three of them.
Han Dong immediately reached out to stop the bodyguard's Attack Behavior, allowing the head to be severed.
"Please come with me... Lord Richard admires your courage, acknowledges your abilities, and wishes to invite you to the [The Void Between] to discuss some matters that may interest you."
If you'd like, please come with me.
If you're unwilling, then please continue exploring further.
"Okay, I'll go with you..."
Han Dong's favorite thing is negotiation.
Regardless of whether there are traps or not, the group is going to the Depths of the pyramid.
With someone willing to lead the way and an opportunity to sit down and 'negotiate,' Han Dong naturally wouldn't waste it.
At the same time, Han Dong patted Miles on the shoulder again and whispered a few more words in his ear.
Han Dong's whisper was quite effective, quickly calming Miles's agitated emotions.
As Han Dong followed the starlight head, he kept his magic eye 100% activated... trying his best to observe, memorize, and deduce the pyramid's internal structure.
"It's a very complex route with no specific rules. Some forks in the road may lead back to the starting point, or they may lead to a research chamber."
Hidden among a very few stones are 'road signs'.
The pyramids should be divided into inner and outer layers in a complete sense.
The outer ring area corresponds to a large number of research rooms, and there are many staircases that allow passage between the upper and lower floors of the outer ring.
So far, we've been operating on the periphery... It's estimated that Dean Richard and his main Void Research Lab are the inner layer of the pyramid.
The inner entrance is directly opposite the entrance we entered through, and requires us to go around the upper half of it.
Just as Han Dong had predicted.
After walking half a circle in the outer area, we arrived at the stone gate leading to the inner area.
With the skull's verification, rumble—the stone gate moved down.
A Void Corridor, resembling a galaxy, was revealed.
"Pass through this passage and you will arrive at the [The Void Between]... Lord Richard is waiting for you inside."
"Wait a moment."
Han Dong did not rush to cross the passage, but instead reached out and pressed his hand against the wall of the Void Corridor.
As the energy in his brain was depleted, streams of filthy energy were injected into the wall by Han Dong using his tentacles, gradually neutralizing the void energy contained within the stone.
It was forcibly transformed into an ordinary stone passage, eliminating the potential threat.
This scene made the guiding starlight head somewhat fearful, staring at Han Dong with a terrified look... It seemed to sense a superpower within Han Dong that was as powerful as Dean Richard's.
