The Mayor's Invitation

Inside Derry Town.

Its inhabitants are primarily products of Western horror culture, which inevitably leads to a situation where there are many demonic monsters.

Due to religious beliefs, the evil spirits in many European and American horror cultural products are mostly related to demons.

As for Togu's former residence, the mysterious monastery outside the town, it must have been an area full of demons... Togu was just one of the demons in the monastery.

On the way to the monastery outside the town, Togu suggested:

"Master, I have been removed from Derry Town, and you are not a staff member of the monastery. It may be difficult to enter such private territory... Moreover, once you enter the territory of other residents, you may not be protected by law."

You seem to have a good relationship with the prosecutor...why not try to get into the convent through her?

Han Dong immediately refused. "Not for now."

[Relationship] Using this thing repeatedly is not a good thing.

Although our relationship with Miss Jian is friendly, we don't owe each other anything... The reason we cooperated at the hospital was because Dean Richard's death would benefit us both.

But this matter at the monastery has nothing to do with Miss Jian. If I need her help, I will owe her a favor.

If that's the case, and Miss Jian needs my help with anything dangerous, I won't be able to refuse.

"Hmm, it seems like the prosecutor's secrets are the most numerous in this small town."

How much do you remember about the specifics of the monastery?

When asked about this, Togu remained silent for half the night, "I basically don't remember... This memory seems to be sealed off very tightly. Even if I reach the interior of the monastery, there are probably many things I won't remember."

All I remember is that I was definitely not the only demon in the monastery.

"Alright, let's go take a look first..."

Unexpectedly, just as Han Dong crossed the central street, a strange feeling swept over him... The bandaged, red-eyed staff member from the Town Hall once again emerged from the dark alleyway.

"Valen Nicholas."

"Mayor, I'd like to see you! I hope you can spare some of your precious time to come with me."

"OK."

Since the town mayor wanted to see him, Han Dong naturally couldn't refuse.

Han Dong can be considered an outstanding townsman who exposed Dean Richard's rebellious plot. The mayor must have approached him because of something good, which might even be helpful for the next operation.

Furthermore, Han Dong's individual household registration was also handled by the Town Hall, which must be related to the town mayor.

As Han Dong followed the staff into the front courtyard of the Town Hall, Han Dong was momentarily stunned by the thousands of arms covering the building, almost causing his mental capacity to decrease a little more.

Although Han Dong knew that these arms were related to the clerk, he still tried to ask the guide.

"This is?"

"The clerk's arm can effectively prevent any outsiders from attempting to invade the Town Hall, ensuring that the mayor's work is not disturbed by anyone."

"Um..."

As Han Dong approached.

A few arms that were clinging to the wall suddenly let go and actually waved at Han Dong.

Just as I was about to enter.

Suddenly, a woman whom Han Dong recognized walked out of the building, carrying some documents in her hands.

"You are... Ma Taotao."

"Nicholas?"

Han Dong bumped into the doctor of the Dragon City Squad, who was also the only woman... Wearing silver-rimmed glasses and dressed in work clothes, Ma Taotao exuded a unique sexy aura, seemingly born with an "alluring" attribute.

However, Han Dong seemed to be immune to charm and remained completely unmoved.

"You work in the Town Hall?"

"Yes, what brings you here?" Ma Taotao smiled, naturally not revealing the current progress of their team.

"We're here to pick up some documents that Director Sam needs, as we're helping out at the neighborhood committee."

"Oh, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

"Good."

Their seemingly simple conversation was actually a constant stream of suspicion.

Ma Taotao also recorded Han Dong's visit to the Town Hall, including some of her personal speculations, so that she could report it to Captain Huo Ziping later.

Han Dong also noticed many things.

The documents held in Ma Taotao's hands all bore two Dao Seal.

One of them is the Town Hall's exclusive seal, and the other is a "Palm Seal." The contents of the document relate to the missing residents of Derry Town.

"Palm Seal... this group of people seem to be working for the clerk."

In other words, they should still be following the Main Plot.

However, the Main Plot is more difficult than the one I got from Sam; it's a quest from the Town Hall.

Once completed, you will receive a household registration certified by the Town Hall.

My current advantage isn't as significant as I thought; I must make the most of every second.

Guided by the staff, Han Dong walked through several corridors and finally arrived at a dark passage... Here, Even Though having night vision was of no use.

The Lesser Demon Eye can only see through less than five meters of darkness.

"The town mayor is inside."

"Thanks."

The staff stopped moving forward, leaving Han Dong to walk alone in the dark passageway.

Perhaps due to his understanding of space, or perhaps due to the unique nature of the Lesser Demon Eye, Han Dong quickly grasped the special characteristics of the lightless passage and tried to empty his senses as much as possible, no longer focusing on the current passage.

When your mind is completely empty.

An unlocked Wooden Gate appeared.

Turning the doorknob and pushing it inwards reveals a classically styled office.

The structure is hexagonal, with bookshelves on each wall.

The town mayor, completely shrouded in darkness, sat inside his circular desk, meticulously examining the world's dossier in his hands.

It is impossible to see through.

Even the Lesser Demon Eye could only see pure black... only the outline of a human figure.

For some reason, Han Dong felt that the outline and aura were somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

Of course, the pressure emanating from the mayor was indescribable.

Even if Han Dong teamed up with Dean Richard, they would inevitably lose more often than they win in a 2v1 match against this town mayor.

"Outsiders, I know you can't stay in my town for long... However, because of your contributions to the town, I will still grant you permanent residency."

"Thank you, Mayor."

"There's a reason I've brought you here... If you go to the monastery like this, you'll surely die a horrible death. Moreover, you will not be protected by the laws of my town."

Han Dong seemed to understand the mayor's meaning. "... You mean, is it related to Togu?"

"Yes! Let's keep things separate. You did help me a lot by exposing Dean Richard's conspiracy... but three years ago, you forcibly kidnapped Togu, which violated the rules of my Derry Town."

However, the clerk mentioned that you were the one who lured Pennywise to the [Connection Point]. Since your good deed and your bad deed cancel each other out, I will let bygones be bygones.

"Yes..."

"Take this letter to the monastery; it will protect you from any apparent harm to some extent... Also, help me investigate something."
