Chapter 685: Chapter 685: The Seed of the Clerk

Han Dong held the pale little hand of the female corpse, walking under the moonlight.

This sight might seem out of place in real life, but it’s perfectly normal in Other Derry Town.

Although Miss Jane didn’t want to ruin this ‘beautiful’ atmosphere, if they didn’t get down to the issue, Han Dong might be in danger.

“Have you been in contact with the Clerk?”

“Er… Yes, I have.”

For some unknown reason, Han Dong felt a bit odd for a moment… It was like being caught by his girlfriend while chatting flirtatiously with another girl on WeChat.

...

“As a newcomer, you naturally don’t know the horrors of Derry Town.

When Clerk Funa took her Upper Rank ten years ago, many people were unsatisfied…

However, all those unhappy residents.

Even a powerful resident ranked among the [19], encountered an accident the next day. The room they lived in was ‘full of arms’, with arms blooming like flowers filling the room, even covering the front yard and the street.

And these arms grow out of the residents’ bodies.

Some grew out from their abdomens,

Some grew out from their mouths,

But the most beautiful and vibrant flowers were those growing out of their heads… Everyone who has contacted Funa has experienced this.

According to my autopsy findings, Funa’s arms possess a paralysing power, one that touches the soul and supresses innate instincts.

The dead didn’t even know they had bloomed at the moment of their death.”

“Do you mean…”

“Funa sowed seeds in you, and you weren’t aware of it… However, the quantity of the seeds is quite small. You might be able to resist it or you might wake up one day to find your room full of flowers.”

Han Dong hurriedly recalled his experience in the monastery.

He was very aware of the clerk’s ‘hand’, clearly sensing the danger coming from the arm… So he did his best to avoid contact with the arm during the fight. When walking in the hallway full of arms, Han Dong let the Yellow Sand cushion his steps.

“Was it then?”

When Han Dong just met the clerk, ten arms quickly attacked.

When crossing the high-density Death Field, nine of the arms disintegrated rapidly, only one managed to penetrate and touch Han Dong’s hair before disintegrating.

Hair is still part of the body, it counted as contact.

With Miss Jane’s reminder.

Han Dong immediately activated the G-virus, letting his right arm grow another arm that could move independently, carrying an eye that looked at the strands of hair on the back of his head that were touched by the clerk…

Just as he thought.

With the magnification effect of the Meat Eye, a tiny red object was found in the hair’s cortex layer, slowly creeping around…

With the assistance of the Demon Eye, as the field of view continued to zoom, it became clear.

There were tiny red hands densely covering the hair, their sizes ranging between nanometers and micrometers, already affecting more than a hundred strands of hair.

It currently succeeded in numbing the hair follicles, trying to slowly burrow into the scalp and skull, it would reach the brain region in at most two hours.

Miss Jane was right, if Han Dong hadn’t noted this, by the time he woke up from an overnight sleep, he would have bloomed.

Of course, Han Dong’s head was not ordinary, he might also notice initially.

“Death Spread”

Han Dong immediately called upon the rich aura of death to cover the top layer, killing all the tiny red hands, while thoroughly checking every nook and cranny of his body.

“Okay… It’s clean now, I can feel it.” Miss Jane reminded him.

“Thank you, Miss Jane.” Han Dong genuinely felt his scalp tingling.

“The clerk is an extremely extreme character. She is willing to do everything to protect the town and the citizens protected by law in the town, and will use all her ability to kill those who violate the law and those who potentially harm the town.

Since she has targeted you, she basically won’t stop until your death or until you leave town.

Be careful… she is completely different from Dean Richard.”

“Okay… Speaking of which, does Miss Jane have any information on the Clerk here?”

“Yes, but you have to promise me a condition.”

“You tell me…” Currently, Han Dong was moving towards the ‘perfect ending’, and didn’t want to delay too much.

“We have six hours left tonight. After your visit to the party, could you spend the remaining time with me? I haven’t had the chance to ‘process’ the body for a while now, someone needs to help.”

Six hours was within the plan, as for what needs to be done, all of it was done for the smooth progress of the plan, naturally, it couldn’t be refused.

“Okay…”

“When we come back to the morgue later, I’ll give you the intel… You must keep this a secret, otherwise, the Clerk will come after me.”

…

So the two of them were walking on the shady path.

Wherever Miss Jane went, whatever resident was near would flee in fear, they didn’t dare to gaze at her for long.

The so-called ‘Human Demon Party’ was being held in the hidden underground area of Palm Street.

By the time Han Dong found the entrance, the underground alleyway was already full of fresh arms.

At the same time, a cleaner was constantly sweeping out newly severed arms, when they stacked to a certain amount, the arms were burned…

During burning, the arms would fiercely struggle, issuing screams similar to a living being, it was extremely creepy.

Miss Jane immediately realised something was off, “It’s the Clerk again… Did these human demons get into trouble? Honestly, what did you guys do tonight?”

Han Dong originally wanted to conceal it, but had to tell the truth. He didn’t expect the human demon party to have started blooming early…

Upon hearing the events in the monastery and Han Dong being assigned the special job of [Detective] by the mayor, Miss Jane fell silent for a while.

“…You really dared to scheme against Funa.

Even if Togu was to return, even if your side was [six against one], the probability of death was still high.

In the future, don’t do such silly things… you should have told me about it too.”

The last sentence Miss Jane spoke was very soft, it seemed to hint at Han Dong that she could help in a desperate situation.

“Mmm.”

Upon arriving at the underground party entrance.

The scene inside was exceptionally ‘explosive’, Skin-face was using a circular saw capable of destruction to remove the constantly growing arms from his comrades’ bodies.

The sheer number of arms gave the entire basement an impression of a blossoming flower garden.

After all, the four human demons had fought with the Clerk for over half an hour, they had been ‘seeded’ all over.

Upon Han’s arrival, he immediately summoned the Raven Staff, massively amplifying the death series ability, covered the entire party scene with the rich Death Black Sand, helping to eliminate all the arm seeds.

In the end, Han Dong also cleaned his own scalp.

A more or less mental shadow was cast over those ‘seeded’ people.
