Confrontation

Laughter in a duel.

This is not the complete Joker after all.

The battle ended with Han Dong overpowering the clown's [torso].

This result also caused the clown's torso to overflow with sweat, the Grasshopper Legs growing on his back to tremble wildly, and the "spiral red mark" on his abdomen to slowly rotate.

"Why... why would you have..."

"What? Just because you infected me with the virus, I'm not allowed to Targeted Treatment... You're not the only one in this world with the ability to laugh maniacally."

It's a pity your main brain isn't here, otherwise it would be even more interesting.

With the [torso] completely suppressed, Han Dong's voice immediately transmitted to the Portable Prison.

"Togu, you go first."

"Um."

Iron chains shot from Han Dong's body straight into the Hell Portal, hooking onto the other side of hell and dragging Togu back to hell.

They are about to receive Affliction lashes from the monastery priests, as well as various Affliction rehabilitation exercises.

"Now, let's catch up... Pennywise."

A bench was constructed from the black sand, Han Dong sat down directly in front of the clown's torso, with the Crow Caller Staff hanging beside him.

Outside the door.

Even Though through the barrier, Diana and Cas could still hear the 'reverberating laughter' coming from inside.

Compared to the piercing laughter, another kind of laughter made the two feel refreshed.

Just as the two were wondering what was happening inside, a slight tremor occurred between the ground and the walls... They had felt the same tremor when they came to the Backyard.

That is, the reaction triggered when the Demon Gate connecting the front yard and the Backyard is opened.

"The Demon Gate has opened... Someone has come."

Cas recalled that the day before, Han Dong had asked him to deliver a letter.

In light of the current situation where a group of people suddenly broke into the Backyard.

The two key clues were immediately connected, Cas reacted instantly, sensing the danger lurking within.

"The worst-case scenario Nicholas predicted seems to have happened! Diana, let's hide..."

Realizing the problem, Cas immediately led Diana into a dark room on the side of the passage.

Boom boom boom!

He punched repeatedly, smashing a huge dent into the wall at the back of the room.

As the two hid inside, Cas used the power from the Otherworldly being within him for the first time, establishing a connection with the stone element, and drawing upon the shattered stones to restore the wall to its original state.

It was perfectly concealed within the wall, with no trace of its presence leaking out.

It only took three minutes.

La la la~

A cheerful and joyful song pierced through the door and stone wall, reaching the ears of the two people clearly.

Even Though the two had never been to the Town Hall or met the clerk.

But upon hearing this song, their reaction was the same as Han Dong's Oldest One reaction: a primal sense of danger that made them tremble and their eyes flash with fear.

Even Though so, Diana still made a fighting stance.

Cas immediately stopped her, "Don't move now... Nicholas has already considered the current situation and should have a way to deal with it."

It would be more effective to launch a surprise attack from behind when the conflict has fully erupted.

Going out now would be a near-certain death.

"Um..."

The singing echoed through the passageway.

Some of the Locust Nun who were not completely killed induced a "swelling of the head" phenomenon just by hearing such singing. Eventually, the pressure in the intracranial cavity exceeded the critical value, and the locust fluids scattered everywhere.

With the arrival of the court clerk.

Countless arms appeared, immediately beginning the "territory occupation".

The slender arms, like ivy, grew rapidly through the passageway, leaving no gaps between them.

The area the clerk passed through was covered by her arms, Transform Into her domain... No one was allowed to leave until the matter was resolved.

The Ghost Nun, Valaka, also accompanied him, her body brimming with dark energy, intending to show off her skills in front of the clerk and kill all the other relevant personnel except for Han Dong.

"Hmm... have they already gone in?"

Hearing a few laughs coming from inside the iron gate, the clerk's attention was completely drawn, and he did not notice Cas and Diana hiding in a dark room to the side.

The Ghost Nun stared at the cold iron gate, which showed signs of opening and closing, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth in utter astonishment.

"How is that possible... There's only one key, and the key to the [Secret Room] is with me."

The Ghost Nun channeled Darkness Power into her body and retrieved the key hidden in her stomach... Throughout the process, she trembled, seemingly afraid that the clerk would blame her.

The clerk, however, revealed a sickly smile, his lips protruding and turning upwards to an extremely exaggerated degree.

"That's fine... 'Approaching the restricted area' and 'entering' are two different kinds of offenses."

Such a charge is enough to put him on the kill list, and he can be killed without any legal Pathway.

Door Opening quickly. I'll handle everything; you just need to guard the door.

"You better not get infected by the virus, or I'll have to kill one more person."

"Yes..."

The Ghost Nun summoned all her dark energy to resist viruses that might be transmitted through the air, and secretly decided that she must wear an effective antiviral mask when going out in the future.

Click~

The door was just opened a crack.

The clerk couldn't wait any longer and quickly slipped his body inside.

"Clerk, you've arrived..."

Han Dong had already turned his face toward the door, sitting on a homemade stool with his legs spread at a 90° angle and his hands clasped between his legs... seemingly waiting for the clerk to arrive.

As for the [body], its whereabouts are unknown.

The clerk, who had entered the secret room, also peeked out and looked around, but could not catch a glimpse of the "locust plague body".

In an instant, ten arms grabbed Han Dong simultaneously, preparing to torture him after subduing him.

Despair!

The Crow Caller Master's staff was unleashed and slammed into the ground.

"100% Death Domain"

At the same time, the area of the field is compressed, reduced to a width of half a meter.

The dense Death Aura can even slow down the collision speed of molecules in the air...

The moment the clerk's arm touched the surface of the field, it immediately began to "desertify" and "wither" at an extremely rapid pace.

But one arm still Armor Break, pointing straight at Han Dong's head... but when it touched Han Dong's hair, the arm completely withered and disintegrated.

Han Dong appeared calm, but in reality, his back was covered in cold sweat from fright.

If he were actually touched by the arm, his life could be in danger... The clerk's lethality is definitely the most terrifying in the town.

It was this kind of "showing off" that bought Han Dong time for negotiations.

"Where did the torso go?" the clerk asked, sounding slightly anxious.

"Would you believe me if I said I'd already cleaned it up?"

"No one can clean up the disaster... It seems we have no choice but to take you back for interrogation."

Just as the clerk was about to take action.

A slight tremor came from the ground.

The Demon Gate has opened, and more uninvited guests have entered the Backyard area...

I need to go to the hospital today, so that's two updates for now... Three updates tomorrow.
