Chapter 333: Choice
Under the current circumstances of the âFateâ event, the most powerful Strange Tale.
According to the Systemâs hint, if they can kill Mr. Aha here, they can get a full two hundred Strange Tales Points and a title reward, which would end this âFateâ event.
[Perfect Clearance].
Thereâs no one interfering from the lowest level of the Regulatory Office.
Mr. Aha too seemed to be completely unguarded, and having been imprisoned here for nearly a hundred years, his strength must have declined.
Once they make a move, it would be Han Dong and his group at full strength, dealing with this skeletally skinny old man.
If it were some Knight Squads, upon hearing such a rewarding prompt, they would have pulled out all the stops trying to kill Mr. Aha.
But Han Dong isnât so foolish.
If it were really that easy to kill Mr. Aha, the park manager would have done it himself long ago instead of going to great lengths to lock Mr. Aha deep in the park.
You have to know, the main requirement of this âfive-starâ Fate event is simply for Han Dong to collect enough Strange Tales Points, then leave the park.
The plan is to [Escape].
Not [Battle].
Clearly, the requirements for escaping are somewhat lower than for battlingâŠ
Once they initiate a fight with Mr. Aha, the nature of the Fate event will completely change.
The difficulty will go beyond the scope of what an Apprentice Knight can handle, making the difficulty of this event greater than five-star⊠it could even be difficult for some freshly Breaking the Breed Formal Knight squads to handle.
Therefore, Han Dongâs eyes were as clear as water, with no malice towards Mr. Aha.
âThe final commission⊠isnât the objective to escape from here with you, sir?â
âRight! But it isnât easy to escape from the Regulatory Office entirely⊠you guys must have been [Sucked] in too, right? The Regulatory Office only has an entrance, no exit.
To leave here, we canât do it with just us.
We need to construct a human [Exit]⊠This process requires someoneâs help.â
Han Dong understood the meaning of these words, âDoes Mr. Aha want us to return to the upper level of the Regulatory Office and rescue some more Strange Tales?â
âRight, just save one!
Sheâs my wife, and she can provide enough âmanpowerâ for us to quickly construct an exit⊠rescuing the other Strange Tales isnât necessary, after all, most of them are madmen.
Once youâve rescued her, bring her to me.â
Mr. Aha took the old book from Han Dongâs hand, marking the location of the ward on it.
It was at this moment that Han Dong received a related system prompt.
âAlready in direct contact with the deepest detainee of the Regulatory Office, [Mr. Aha], the special event enters the Third Phase.
First, please select a camp. The choice result will greatly affect the progression of your main storyline.â
Available camps:
1. Horror Strange Tales (Leader: Mr. Aha).
Once you choose this camp, your intimacy with the [Lighthouse] camp will fully decline to âHostileâ.
The park manager will spare no effort to track you down within the park, making it harder to escape.
2. Lighthouse (Leader: Park Manager)
Once you choose this camp, your intimacy with the [Horror Strange Tales] camp will decline to âHostileâ.
Simultaneously, youâll get the identity card of the âLighthouse Administratorâ, allowing you to freely enter and leave the lighthouse without limitations.
Your method of obtaining Strange Tales Points will change to âLighthouse Tasksâ.
Assist the Lighthouse side to capture, manage, and control all unstable Strange Tales.
After bringing back Strange Tales of different levels to the Lighthouse, once it has been confirmed that the Strange Tales indeed need âtherapyâ, you will receive a certain amount of Strange Tales Points as wages.
Once you accumulate enough Strange Tales Points, you can buy a Park Pass from the manager and leave the park.
Additionally, all âshopsâ within the park will become unavailable, and other Strange Tales will more likely attack you as you walk around the park.
You must definitely avoid [Mr. Aha]!
Once you choose the Lighthouse camp, you will be directly teleported to the top of the Lighthouse to meet the Manager.
âŠâŠ
âAgain, these highly suggestive conditions⊠Trying to make us believe that it would be better to join the [Lighthouse].
In fact, I havenât seen the park manager yet, so I canât judge his temperament or our compatibility of cooperation.
But from the fact that he joined forces with humans to create the Regulatory Office and imprisoned those Horror Strange Tales that threatened him, it seems like the park manager is a junior âDictatorâ.
If we chose the [Lighthouse] here while it appears as if things would be easier⊠It wonât actually be as good as we might imagine.
Since weâve already established a good relationship with Mr. Aha in advance, weâll naturally continue.â
After the squad reached an agreement, they chose the camp â[Horror Strange Tales].
âCamp selection has been made, the main objective and method of obtaining Strange Tales Points remain the same, please continue to converse with Mr. Aha.â
Mr. Aha did not know that Han Dong and the others would undergo this kind of process.
He simply marked her wifeâs ward location on the old book.
âAha! The situation with my wife is a bit complicated⊠because of her âspecial natureâ she is under full surveillance.
She is locked up in the area with the most stringent patrol vigilance of the Regulatory Office, you will inevitably have a direct encounter with the âSpotlightâ.
Han Dong immediately asked: âSpeaking of which, what exactly are those âSpotlightsâ patrolling up there?â
âAha! Itâs the park manager who segmented 1/3 of his core, combined with human-provided technology and materials and modeled on the movie âSilent Hillâ, manufactured set of regulatory creatures.
Theyâre naturally formidable since they can trap so many Horror Strange Tales.
The ordinary âSpotlightsâ arenât particularly dangerous.
However, the moment you expose yourself under the light, the information will be immediately transmitted to the main body of the âSpotlightâ ⊠the troublemaker formed by the Managerâs 1/3 core in combination with human technology.â
âIt doesnât happen to be a creature wearing a giant pointed steel helmet, holding a Heavy Giant Axe in one hand and a spotlight in the other, does it?â
âOh? Youâve already met them?â
âYes⊠when we bypassed coming down here earlier, we saw them on the road.â
âThis underground Regulatory Office was constructed around it, and itâs hard to deal with.
If you are discovered by the âSpotlightâ during your rescue of my wife, you can only try to stall it⊠then, as quickly as possible, rescue my wife.
My wife will know a way to get you out of the âSpotlightâs pursuit.â
Han Dong nodded, âOkay⊠One last question.â
âWhat?â
âMr. Aha, since weâve already opened this door, why wonât you rescue your wife yourself?â
âAha!! Hey⊠I donât think Iâm ready to meet that old lady yet.
Moreover, once I leave this ward, the Manager will act himself! Itâs a lot of trouble.
Itâs better for you go rescue my wife⊠Be sure to force it in front of her, tell her that I asked you to save her! Say many good words about me.â
âUnderstood!â
Mr. Aha revealed a smile, and meaningfully patted Han Dongâs shoulder.
« Intimacy with Mr. Aha has increased (+300). »
