Breaking Free
After a short rest, the exposed bones are enveloped by the flesh.
Due to injuries and excessive energy consumption, the arms could only be barely repaired... One arm was a mummified corpse-like arm, and the other was Biochemical Arm with irregularly arranged fleshy tubes.
He stared at Miles as his demonic form gradually faded away.
Han Dong offered a few words of gratitude in the language of demons.
However, Miles didn't need any thanks at all; instead, he was in a hurry to leave.
"Richard is dead... The Town Hall will investigate personally... You must leave (in the devil's words)."
Han Dong nodded and used his staff to support his body.
Because of Richard's death, the exit of the "Void Otherworld" has been reopened, and the transparent door located at the boundary can be seen through the Lesser Demon Eye.
Just as the two returned to the hospital together.
The sound of wheels rolling could be heard.
A familiar flatbed cart immediately rolled out from the other end of the passage, and Ms. Chen Li was lying on it along with the female corpse.
Han Dong immediately withdrew Chen Li from her body and treated her.
Just as he was about to bow his head to thank the female corpse for helping him silently eliminate all of Dean Richard's True Clone and destroy the shrine... he saw the cart rubbing wildly in place, even starting a new spinning mode.
Clearly, the female corpse was in a great hurry.
As Han Dong reached out to touch it, urgent and worried words came through:
"What are you dawdling for?! Get out of here!"
The death of the Fifth Demon had a huge impact on the Derry Town.
The Town Hall will personally send people to thoroughly investigate the cause and details of the incident... Even Though Dean Richard is secretly trying to turn you against him, you, as an 'outsider,' will still be wanted for killing Hidden Resident.
"I'll take you to Sam's farm; the neighborhood committee can help keep you safe... Get in the car!"
Just as the female corpse was gesturing for Han Dong to 'lie down' on her stroller.
A strange and eerie aura suddenly wafted over.
In an instant, it overwhelmed the remaining ethereal aura and Miles's residual malevolent energy within the hospital, and the passageway also became somewhat 'whiter'.
Miles, who was standing to one side, also took a step back slightly. It seemed that the presence of the hospital made even the Ultimate Human Demon somewhat wary.
The female corpse's tone also became low and somber:
"It's too late. Don't resist no matter what happens... All resistance is futile in front of the 'clerk.' If you become a corpse, I will try my best to arrange for you to stay by my side."
"Haha..." Han Dong laughed awkwardly. He wasn't even dead yet, and the female corpse had already taken an interest in his body.
Sweat trickled down his forehead.
The atmosphere in the hospital reminded him of three years ago, bringing back a familiar scene.
La la la~
A light and melodious song drifted along the passageway, and suddenly more than twenty wildly growing arms appeared at the corner, like ivy climbing the wall.
The current image is far more shocking than the partial arm that was once visible through cracks in the Underground Sewer.
"... Is she the court clerk?"
Han Dong swallowed hard, trying his best to calm himself down.
Perhaps due to the combined effects of past nightmares and current pressures, Han Dong was judged by the system to have a "mental value of -1" upon seeing the current scene.
"Prosecutor [Jane Doyle], Electrician [Michael Miles], you are temporarily detained by the Town Hall in connection with the death of Richard Powell, the director of Derry Town Central Hospital."
As for this outsider, well... wait! Your aura seems familiar."
As one arm grabbed the cart carrying the woman's body, another arm wrapped around Miles's body.
Third Hand arm came to Han Dong's front, and like a flower blooming, a woman's head with wet black hair grew out of the palm. Because of the black hair, only the high bridge of her nose could be vaguely seen.
He stared at Han Dong.
Beneath her black hair, a faint, moist, light blue lip appeared, and she spoke softly:
"Oh, it was you."
Three years ago, wasn't it you who lured Pennywise to the juncture between the outer and inner worlds? So I could recapture him... He's a hardened criminal who escaped from Derry Town.
"Yes..." Han Dong quickly gave a professional smile and nodded in confirmation.
"However, this matter cannot be compared with the past. Dean Richard is an important figure in our Derry Town, and you, as an outsider, appearing at the scene of the incident... you may need to bear the main responsibility."
You are now to be detained in the Derry Town detention center as a key figure in the 'illegal trespassing' and 'suspected murder of Dean Richard '.
Suddenly.
The woman with black hair opened her mouth wide, and dozens of delicate arms, like those of an infant, suddenly emerged from within, ready to forcibly grab Han Dong and leave him no room for resistance.
Of course, Han Dong, whose body was still weak, was powerless to resist.
I always felt that "detention centers" were quite dangerous places.
At a critical moment.
Bang!
The aisle window beside them suddenly shattered, and a few shards of glass pierced their arms.
A figure quickly stepped into the hospital.
A large amount of straw immediately wrapped around the clerk's arm, preventing Han Dong from being taken away.
"Director Sam, are you protecting a suspect? If you are found guilty, you will lose your title as the Neighborhood Committee Director."
Scarecrow Sam sitting on the shoulders of the shell, eats a lollipop while taking out a newly made resident register, symbolizing the permanent right to reside in Derry Town.
It seems that Sam had prepared the household registration book before Han Dong even finished his task.
The above entry date was before Dean Richard's death.
In other words, Han Dong, as a normal resident, along with two other Hidden Resident, killed Dean Richard... not as an intruder.
Han Dong will not be forcibly detained in a detention center until the truth of the matter is ascertained.
"It seems that my intelligence was not timely enough... In that case, please wait for the results at your respective registered addresses until the matter is clarified."
I will find out the truth.
Just as the clerk was about to withdraw his arm.
Scarecrow Sam also took out his unique neighborhood committee management certificate, saying, "I... also joined... the investigation."
"Okay... lalala~"
All the arms that had been covering the passageway were withdrawn.
The pressure disappeared... From beginning to end, Han Dong never saw the clerk's true face, but the pressure she brought had surpassed that of any other Hidden Resident Han Dong had ever met.
"Thanks."
Sam handed Han Dong the household registration book and a farm key, clearly indicating that Han Dong should return to the farm first.
Before leaving the hospital.
Following Dean Richard's dying wish, Han Dong infused the still unconscious little girl with Star-Color... This will help uncover the truth later.
I don't know why.
Although the woman singing did not express any coercion in her words, Han Dong still felt uncomfortable.
