At the Door

Whether it's the life form represented by the "head" or their serious attitude towards scientific exploration, Han Dong and Professor West have certain things in common.

Moreover, Han Dong originally wanted to recruit a human scientist with sufficient knowledge and a rigorous and serious attitude.

They were sent to the Stuart Manor to help with research on bio-engineered species. After all, the Dr. Swollen, being an outsider, might be narrow-minded when considering certain issues. Having a human scientist of equal caliber to work with would make the research much more efficient.

only.

After a series of conversations, Han Dong also discovered some minor issues with Professor West.

They tend to be extreme, especially when researching technical bottlenecks; extreme mentality can manifest itself immediately.

Meanwhile, Professor West, having graduated from medical school, has a broader knowledge base in the field of chemistry, giving him an edge over Han Dong in the purification and refining of certain solvents.

That is, when the two parties finished their discussions and reached a cooperation agreement.

West's head used a finger, still retaining muscle tissue, that grew along his neck to push up his glasses, and said earnestly:

"Professor Nicholas, you're here for the Joker, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Let me ask you this: has Professor Nicholas deciphered the true nature of that strange clown? If not, I don't recommend taking action now."

"I've basically figured it out, and the plan is complete. All I need to do next is gather the Joker's body... and then I need Professor West to do me a favor."

"What? This kind of thing is hard for someone like me who's a scientist to get involved in... I'm better suited to working behind the scenes." West's sleazy expression was quite similar to his cowardly personality.

"Yes, it's working behind the scenes."

When the time comes, you will need to bring the "Resurrection Equipment" from home to the Derry Town Central Hospital. Someone from my team will be there to meet you at the hospital.

If you, Professor West, can do this well, the Joker is doomed!

Then, I can use the pretext of killing the clown to demand your freedom from the mayor.

"Let me think about it for a while and assess the risks in advance. I'm just a researcher... Oh, right! Four young residents have arrived at the eastern intersection of Smortal Street. Go down and meet them."

"Are they here?"

During this conversation, Han Dong also learned some of Professor West's speaking characteristics, and his disguise was 99% effective.

As Han Dong stood up.

West's head, encased in a glass jar, suddenly suggested, "Among this group of youths, one possesses exceptionally sharp perception and has already detected all my surveillance equipment upon entering the street... Your disguise might be exposed."

"Indeed, Professor West, do you have any good ideas?"

"In the drawer on your left, there's a ' Brain-Stimulating Potion ' I often use when I'm stuck in a rut. It works instantly... It keeps your mind sharp and makes you more like me, so you'll never be recognized."

When Han Dong opened the drawer, he found rows of green syringes inside, which belonged to the same category as the Resurrection Potion.

For safety reasons, Han Dong took two samples and brought one of them into his laboratory for analysis.

"Professor West's Special Brain-Stimulating Needle"

Type: Single-use medication

Effect: Significantly increases mental activity in a short period of time, but will result in a decrease of 1 point in mental capacity.

Seeing that the side effects were not significant, in order to achieve a 100% disguise effect, Han Dong directly inserted a needle into his brain through the back of his neck... For a moment, Han Dong's pupils shone with a green luster.

The brain underwent a slight twitching for a few seconds, increasing cognitive activity.

In a short time, the plan that Han Dong had basically conceived in his mind was further improved.

An active mind filled in every detail, increasing the success rate by several percentage points.

At the same time, due to the stimulation of the brain by the drug, the frequency of blinking and pursing of the lips also increased... and the behavior of 'sniffing' and 'frowning' would also occur from time to time.

Due to the strength of the Faceless Head, this dose of medicine is perfectly tolerable.

"This drug is really high."

Current progress on the "Finding the Body" project.

Holy City Squad: [Torso], [Right Arm]

Dragon City Squad: [Left Leg], [Right Leg] (The Right Leg was obtained after they left Crystal Lake, due to Ma Taotao's relationship with the clerk, by going directly to the Depths of the police station detention center where the Right Leg was stored.)

The scene cuts to Smortal Street.

The four members of the Dragon City Squad found this place, and the information also came from the clerk.

The Joker's "left arm" was hidden unattended in a secret underground labyrinth at the end of Smortal Street, with the entrance completely sealed off.

They discovered from the map that Professor West's house was the closest to the maze area.

Yu Wu had some questions about the setting here.

"Herbert West, ranked 99th among the Hidden Resident, is a human variant..."

Strangely, even if the Clown Arm is sealed in a completely enclosed underground labyrinth, the residents closest to the labyrinth are still at risk of infection.

Wouldn't it be better to have a resident at or above the Ten Demon level reside here, serving as an indirect guardian?

Ma Taotao, who was familiar with almost all the documents in the Town Hall, explained, "The arrangement of residential housing is directly determined by the town mayor... The residents of this special area are also confirmed by the town mayor's personal signature, and even the clerk cannot change it."

"Did the mayor make the decision directly? Perhaps this Dr. West has something special about him."

Staring at the green billboard hanging in the window: "Resurrection Shop".

Yu Wu, one of the team's perceivers, stepped forward and knocked on the door.

As the sound of leather shoes approached, the security door creaked open, revealing a bespectacled, somewhat sleazy-looking middle-aged man with a vial of green syringe in his right hand.

"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!

The first type...

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Wu interrupted him.

"We are staff members of the Town Hall directly under the [clerk]. Have you heard any strange laughter recently?"

"Hey! You've finally arrived. I've written countless complaint letters to the Town Hall. Laughter has been coming from the basement for months, seriously disrupting my business."

Please handle this promptly; I don't want to lose any more customers.

But don't worry, I won't be affected by the laughter.

After saying that, 'West' injected the needle into his brain, showing an expression of extreme euphoria.

"Yes, we're here to handle this for you. Please lead the way, Mr. West, and point out the source of the laughter..."

"Bring it on."
