The Next Clue

After carefully reading the clerk's information, Han Dong was not as shocked as he had expected.

Perhaps because they had already witnessed the terror of the clerk, this setup was reasonable... However, Han Dong did not expect that the clerk was Oldest One just a string of programs.

"No wonder it can ignore any conditions and achieve [seeding] as long as it comes into contact with an individual, so that's how it works!"

From the internal program reality to the elevation and transformation of humans, even the "natural laws" acting on the Secretary Vera have undergone certain changes.

It's truly amazing that such a being could be born in the Destiny Space.

No wonder the town mayor cares about the clerk to some extent, giving her power and even allowing her to do things that cross the line.

If Dean Richard is the closest person to God, then this devilish clerk is the highest-ranking person in Derry Town, so it's only natural that the mayor favors her.

Since Derry Town is above all the smaller worlds.

That means that Different Worlds in the Destiny Space also have different levels... The Inside Derry Town, controlled by the mayor, should belong to the lower-middle level or the middle level world.

There is definitely a possibility of further expansion of the world's dimensions.

The Destiny Space may be more complex than we imagine, but it doesn't matter much to me right now.

I am merely a passerby in fate; the real world is where I truly belong.

After reading the clerk's information, Han Dong felt somewhat relieved, and thought about some fundamental issues concerning his fate.

He's just here to get Destiny Points and items, to do things for the Destiny Space, and then he'll take the stuff and leave... it's that simple.

"The mayor, despite his bias towards the clerk, also entrusted me with investigating the clown's matter."

The reason is that the Inside Derry Town, which he manages, has become somewhat unstable due to the presence of the clown.

Even Though the Ten Demons, with their numerous methods, such as the clerk and Dean Richard, could not completely eliminate the Joker.

To some extent, it seems that the concept of "fate and life cannot kill the clown" exists in Derry Town... Therefore, the mayor is also placing his bets on us 'outsiders'.

They said there was a problem with the monastery and asked me to investigate... they just wanted to see how I would behave when facing the clown.

If I get infected with the virus and can't handle it, have the clerk kill me.

If it met the mayor's expectations, he would intervene midway and continue to make me do things... This mayor was naturally a particularly troublesome person.

It seems that the real dead end in the "Inner Chapter" is choosing to be the enemy of the town mayor, as there is virtually no chance of survival.

Moreover, the town mayor seemed to favor Huo Ziping's team more... As Special Existence who could read the small worlds, he must know that in the "Tablet" world, Huo Ziping personally killed the clown.

I, on the other hand, tend to be more opportunistic.

Han Dong leaned back on the bench and stretched his body.

"However, the mayor did not particularly favor either side, and because of my outstanding performance in the monastery, he granted me the identity of [detective]... Next, all I need to do is find all the clowns."

However, it seems that a fight with the Dragon City Squad in the end is unavoidable.

Thinking of this, Han Dong glanced sideways at Miss Jian was lying quietly on the dissection table.

Dawn breaks.

When saying goodbye to Miss Jian, she mentioned again that if Han Dong accidentally encountered the clerk and was unable to avoid the battle, he should try to notify her.

Han Dong naturally made an "OK" gesture as well.

He immediately rushed to the neighborhood committee to meet with his team members.

The excuse for not returning home all night was that he had spent the entire night cleaning the clerk's arm with four demons.

The trash cans of all sizes on Palm Street are overflowing with these arms, which are being burned in batches.

"It's good that you're alright... Actually, there's something else." Cas's expression was somewhat serious, but also revealed a hint of excitement.

"What?"

"We have another piece of information regarding the 'Joker's limbs'."

"Huh? Where did this come from?"

"You didn't come back last night, so Diana and I spent our time in the neighborhood committee's archives. After going through all the documents, big and small, we started looking through the residents' complaint and suggestion box out of boredom."

The neighborhood committee has a lot of work to do, so they may selectively ignore some unimportant opinions.

However... Diana found this.

Cas quietly handed Han Dong a complaint letter that had been written two and a half years ago.

The author is Hidden Resident [Herbert West, the Corpse Resurrected (from The Re-Animator)]. West owns a special clinic that serves customers who want to resurrect their loved ones.

The complaint letter stated:

"I am Herbert West, a qualified citizen of Derry Town."

This is the fifth time I have written a complaint letter. Each time I send the complaint letter to the Town Hall and the neighborhood committee, but I have not received any response. I am quite angry about this situation.

Three months ago, I could always hear that annoying laughter coming from the walls of my underground clinic.

Although I managed to protect myself from the low concentration of the virus using homemade medicine, the laughter severely disrupted my work, causing my income to drop by at least 30%.

I hope the neighborhood committee can give me an explanation.

Where does this Mr. West live?

Diana, leaning against the wall, immediately replied, "149 Smortal Street... in the area near the edge of town."

"Okay... we'll set off immediately."

"Don't you need to rest for a while?"

Cas was a little worried about whether Han Dong's body could hold up. Just yesterday, he had faced the most terrifying being in Derry Town at the monastery and spent an entire night cleaning his wounds.

"Time is running out."

Judging from the mayor's tone, Huo Ziping and his team must have made progress... If I can't hold on any longer, I'll naturally find time to rest.

"OK."

Just as the three were about to leave the neighborhood committee.

Smortal Street.

The style here is completely different from that of Palm Street where Han Dong lives.

The streets are lined with buildings of bizarre style and with strange lights, and most of their front gardens are neglected and overgrown with weeds.

We also happened to pass by the puppet house where Mary Shaw lived; Town Hall staff were demolishing and rebuilding the puppet house.

Walking on the streets, most of the residents seem to have a "monster" attribute.

After walking along the streets filled with a strange smell until they reached the edge of the town, they finally found the house of the "Resurrected Corpse".

The two-story European-style building, predominantly bright green, features a black vaulted ceiling and some irregular arched structures. This green style is a common color scheme in horror films from the 70s and 80s.

A huge sign hangs in the window, with the words "Resurrection Shop" printed in large English letters in green paint.

Knock knock knock!

Knock on the door.

The person who Door Opening was a middle-aged man who resembled a university professor. He was holding a syringe in his hand, and the syringe was full of a bright green liquid.

"Dear guests, are you here to resurrect corpses? We are currently having a promotion with three different levels of resurrection packages to choose from."

You will definitely be satisfied!
