Chapter 690: Progress from All Sides

Chapter 690: Chapter 690: Progress from All Sides

As Cass transformed the stone wall into a passageway, it confirmed the existence of a “secret room” in this mysterious underground area, which contained the clown’s limbs.

As Cass and Diana were about to delve further in.

Han Dong blocked their way with his hand.

“No need to go in.”

Cass asked, “Hmm? Aren’t we looking for the clown’s limbs?”

“No…we’re just here to verify the information.

...

Now that we have achieved our goal, Cass, close up the wall again. Let’s go.”

Han Dong was already standing on the stairs leading to the basement, waving at his two opponents… As for this confusing action, Diana was completely at a loss.

However, Cass seemed to have grown accustomed to this, and just followed Han Dong’s instructions even if he didn’t quite understand them.

Han Dong gave each of them a note that he had prepared in advance.

“When you return to the community committee later, be sure to complete the tasks stated on the note…”

When they returned to the first floor, Doctor West, who had just been revived from the attic, came down and asked in a whisper with a rather lewd expression: “Has the laughter issue been resolved?”

“Not exactly, it takes some time.

Doctor West, during this special time, your main body needs to come with us to the community committee.

My two colleagues will accompany you. Please hand over the keys to your house to me for the time being… Any economic losses incurred in the meantime will be fully reimbursed afterwards.”

“Ok.”

As Professor West was taken back to the community committee by Cass and Diana.

Han Dong uses the newly upgraded Faceless Skull to carry out a deep disguise by picking up the self-destructed corpse of Doctor West.

Soon, a flawless “Doctor West” appears in the house.

He lit the sign

and quietly waited for someone to knock on the door.

…

At the same time.

At the bottom of Crystal Lake.

A countless number of Facehugger corpses float to the surface as numerous bubbles emerge.

These facehuggers differ slightly from their depiction in the “Alien” movie; some of them have wings like locusts, giving them the ability to fly.

Deep inside the alien spaceship at the bottom of the lake, the Alien Queen responsible for guarding the “left leg” has been executed.

The plasma containment device has been destroyed.

Captain Ziping stared at the clown’s left leg, temporarily put away the Dragon Pattern Sword, and gave an order: “Yu Wu, Ma Taotao proceed according to Plan No. 2…”

“Yes.”

Ma Taotao had been equipped with another set of gear, a special tool kit custom-made for the clown, containing eighteen black iron needles stored in a wooden box.

Unique Purple – “Sinking Star Black Iron Needle”

Four needles were shot out, accurately puncturing four acupoints on the left leg.

Immediately a mark resembling a constellation appeared on the leg, sealing it as a whole.

“Yu Wu, the rest is up to you.”

“Okay!”

‘Listener’

A ripple spread from Yu Wu’s inner ear, reaching the sealed clown’s left leg, it was immediately absorbed into the ear.

Not stored in his brain.

The ‘left leg’ was stored in the ‘Listener’, an independent space connected to Yu Wu’s ear.

Yu Wu’s status in Dragon City was not much lower than Captain Ziping’s, he was known as the ‘Listener’.

As the clown’s left leg was brought into possession, a system notification sounded.

“Derived Plot: Searching for Body (Activated)”

Requirement: Please collect a total of [6 pieces] of the clown’s body parts.

Reward: Trigger one of the final endings of “Clown Revival: Other Chapter.”

Note:

①. This plot is a prerequisite for achieving the perfect ending of “Clown Revival: Other Chapter” and can be simultaneously triggered by multiple teams.

②. When any ending of the chapter is achieved, the Fate event will end immediately, forcibly removing all surviving participants and distributing rewards.

Hearing the system notification, Captain Ziping fell into contemplation.

“Yu Wu, your doubt was correct… indeed, in Derry Town, there are only five body parts hidden, and one was long ago taken by someone else.

If I’m not mistaken, it should have been obtained by the team from Holy City during the main chapter.

They might even have taken the arm back to reality and preserved it for three years… they’ve done quite a comprehensive study on the clown, and their actual progress far exceeds ours.”

At this moment, Ma Taotao suddenly let out a mischievous smile and shared some crucial information.

After arriving in Derry Town, Ma Taotao was always handling tasks close to the Clerk. She quickly adapted and was very efficient, earning the Clerk’s favor and obtaining a lot of information.

“It seems the Clerk holds that ‘Nicholas’ from the Holy City’s team in high regard.

And, she’s quite sensitive about the clown issue.”

“Is there a way to turn this relationship completely in our favor?”

“Hmm… I will find an opportunity to communicate with the Clerk and convince her to let us collect the limbs of the clown for thorough extermination and cleansing after we find them. After all, you, Captain, had already killed Pennywise once in the main chapter.

In the meantime,

I will try to guide the Clerk to obstruct the Holy City’s team’s actions to the greatest extent,

If there’s a chance, she might even seize the body parts that they possess.”

“What are the odds?”

“Currently my intimacy level with the Clerk is nearly friendly, so the odds are about sixty percent… Given our starting role in the [Town Hall], we already have the advantage.”

“Hmm…Since the Holy City team has met the basic conditions and is eligible to leave the Fate event at any time.

I hope they can leave voluntarily when targeted by the Clerk.

If they stubbornly remain or find a way to avoid the Clerk’s targeting… there’s no avoiding the battle for the ultimate prize hidden in the chain event.”

Ma Taotao didn’t seem worried about this.

“Captain Ziping was this year’s top scholar in Dragon City, and a once-in-a-century sword cultivator talent… Even when put among the top scholars of the past decade for comparison, you’d still be first or second.

Not to mention, none of us are any weaker.

Even if they have a descendant of the Bone Demon, it won’t be a problem.”

“Hmm… However, compared to the Bone Demon’s daughter, I am more concerned about their captain.

If the Clerk’s pursuit is unsuccessful, we will intercept immediately. It’s best to make them withdraw early… to minimize the variables.”

Ma Taotao volunteered to take on the fight:

“If there really needs to be a fight, please let me take on that black magician.

I will use my silver needle to break his magic, seal his magic circuit… Even though it might be tough, Yu Wu can help me by robbing our opponent of his five senses.

Captain, you just need to focus on dealing with the Bone Demon’s daughter.”

“What about me?” Gongsun Hao looked confused, as if he had been forgotten.

“Doesn’t the opposing team have a power-type meat shield too? You two are similar in size, so just hold back this defensive knight… As long as we defeat their main combat power, the defender can only surrender.

Besides, you quite enjoy wrestling with muscle men, don’t you? Don’t let that blond guy make any extra moves.

I heard that the Lionheart Knight of the Holy City can provide ‘damage sharing’ and ‘aid’ when cooperating with teammates. We don’t need any extra pressure in the fight.”

“Rest assured, the blond guy is mine to handle.”
