Overtaking on a Bend

At the same time.

Dragon City Squad.

The task that Huo Ziping and others received from the clerk included two aspects.

Firstly, they need to compile the "Personnel Abnormal Movement" and "List of Missing Residents" for the past ten years in Derry Town, search the residences of the missing residents, and confirm the true situation of at least twenty residents who Abnormal Movement or gone missing.

Secondly, they need to apprehend a fugitive suspect wanted by the Town Hall.

The fugitive was a former resident of Derry Town who had seriously violated the town's laws and regulations.

They had killed other Hidden Resident, ignored warnings from the Town Hall and fled; they were all extremists, powerful and with no possibility of negotiation; any meeting was a fight to the death.

The tasks need to be performed simultaneously.

Therefore, Huo Ziping made a decision.

Gongsun Hao, whose Combat Power was second only to his own, and Ma Taotao, a physician skilled in organizing documents, were left by the clerk to be responsible for organizing the documents of the missing residents and investigating the situation.

He himself, along with the squinty-eyed Yu Wu, embarked on a journey to capture the fugitive.

Once completed, they receive a collective household registration certified by the Town Hall.

However, something happened during this time... something that made Huo Ziping uneasy.

The Town Hall has many fugitives wanted by the authorities, including some who have not been captured for over a century. They only need to select any one of them from the fugitive handbook to make an arrest.

The list of fugitives included Mary Shaw, the puppet woman Huo Ziping and his companions Oldest One encountered in the tunnel!

Because they had been in contact beforehand, and everyone also had Mary Shaw's profile file.

Huo Ziping thus set a goal... Killing Mary Shaw would fulfill one of the basic requirements of [Destiny], provided he could subsequently obtain a permanent residence permit.

Even if the basic requirements of the inner chapter are 100% met.

The team can leave the Destiny Space at any time and return to Dragon City... Of course, to obtain the ultimate treasure, they must explore it in depth as residents.

After the target was identified.

Driven by their own curiosity and considering some follow-up plans, the Dragon City Squad continued to peruse the fugitive handbook, trying to find information about the Joker... but they did not find any relevant information.

"Strange, shouldn't Pennywise be here too? After all, he should have fled Derry Town."

Just then, Yu Wu, who was in the team, heard a noise from the archives room—"I'm here..."

Immediately, Yu Wu retrieved a white paper containing information on the arrested individuals from the filing cabinet.

[The Joker - Pennywise] is among them.

However, detailed capture information and various files about the Joker were all crossed out with dense horizontal lines... leaving only one sentence on top.

"The clown has been arrested by the clerk and, for the aforementioned reasons, is being held in the Depths of Derry Town."

"The clown's secret probably touches on the very foundation of Derry Town."

Perfect timing! Mary Shaw seems to know some secrets about the Joker too. Let's get going.

"... Captain, have you thought about how to deal with Mary Shaw's ' Tongue Extraction ' problem?" Yu Wu was still a little scared when he thought of this puppet old woman.

"Um."

The clerks also use the special vehicles prepared for them to apprehend fugitives. Because of the license plates, they will not be attacked by any normal residents, and the vehicles can also reduce the Outside World's perception of them to a certain extent.

The two had just gotten into the car not long ago.

Suddenly, a beam of black-purple light shot into the sky from the direction of the Derry Town Hospital, even scattering the clouds.

This explosive burst of void energy startled Huo Ziping and the others, causing them to break out in a cold sweat and develop a few Corruption Lines around their eyes.

"A familiar team? No... It's confirmed that it's just us and the Holy City's team. Could it be that there are familiar-like beings among the residents of Derry Town? Luckily, we haven't encountered any."

"Captain... the noise from the dependents is decreasing; they seem to be dead," Yu Wu whispered.

"Could it be that Nicholas and his men did it?"

Splat splat~~

Just then, a series of terrifying sounds of hands slapping the ground came from the Town Hall. Hundreds of arms crawled out along the walls, carrying the clerk's true form, and headed towards the hospital.

"I hope they're alright..."

Huo Ziping still had a good impression of Han Dong. Although the two teams might have a conflict of interest later, he did not want Han Dong to die.

The two then drove off in an old Lincoln sedan to a mysterious tunnel hundreds of kilometers away.

The car was traveling at 100 km/h on the asphalt road outside Derry Town... when suddenly a loud engine roared from behind.

A farm-specific cargo truck appeared in the rearview mirror.

The person driving the vehicle was the same Mechanical Scarecrow that Huo Ziping had seen on the farm.

There was also a Scarecrow Kid licking a lollipop sitting in the passenger seat.

"This is..."

Huo Ziping immediately went into battle preparedness.

Unexpectedly, a sharp turn appeared ahead, Yu Wu, who had just learned to drive, could only slow down... The farm vehicle following behind accelerated and drifted, overtaking Yu Wu in an instant through a perfect drift.

It seems you can also hear a racing song playing from the farm vehicle.

"That's... Nicholas?"

When being overtaken.

Huo Ziping then discovered the young man, 'severely injured and unconscious,' lying in the straw crate...

Seeing this, Huo Ziping had already placed his right hand on his waist, preparing to stage a car chase.

Han Dong was rescued from the scarecrow.

However, Yu Wu heard Han Dong's snoring and reached out to stop his captain's Attack Behavior.

"He seems to be sleeping... and the scarecrow is not hostile."

Captain, this captain of the Holy City is much more shrewd than we expected. He seems to have already established connections with the important Hidden Resident of the farm area.

The farm owner, who is also the scarecrow, seems to be the person in power in Derry Town.

It seems that our leaving the farm first was deliberately urged by Nicholas... It's quite possible they returned to the farm after we left.

Huo Ziping nodded slightly and removed his hand from the hilt of the sword.

"Now that you mention it, what happened on the farm was indeed a bit strange. Hmm... we'll consider their issue once we get our permanent residency permits."

While Huo Ziping and the other man were discussing things in the car.

They were suddenly overtaken again.

What overtook them wasn't a motor vehicle, but a clean handcart, drawing a perfect drift line on the road... with a corpse on the cart.

The two were so frightened that they immediately slammed on the brakes.

Upon closer inspection, there was nothing in front of me.

On a farm vehicle.

Han Dong was enjoying a peaceful rest after the battle, under the protection of Director Sam, and could simply sleep the whole time.

Meanwhile, before getting on the bus, Han Dong learned from Sam that his two teammates had already mined enough ore and had been forcibly sent back to the farm by Sam ahead of time...

Now it's time to enjoy the spoils of victory.

Han Dong is ready to evolve the "Faceless Head".
