Chapter 868 - 868 867 The Red Dress

Chapter 868: Chapter 867: The Red Dress Chapter 868: Chapter 867: The Red Dress He watched the red-clad woman floating on the rooftop.

Due to the loss of [The Eye] and limited power, Han Dong couldn’t determine if this red-clad woman was Chen Li… What was eerie was that the street sign behind him had also changed, now showing the spine-chilling words “Yin Yang Road”.

“Warning! System warning!

You are not a ‘participant’ in the current World of Fate, cannot initiate major event missions, and are prohibited from interfering with the world’s causal lines.

The System has forcibly opened the [Yin Yang Road – Exit] for you. Please leave the area within five minutes.”

Han Dong didn’t hesitate a moment.

The first thing he did was spin his wheelchair and head rapidly towards the street exit marked “Yin Yang Road”.

At the same time, he placed one hand on Miss Jane’s shoulder, wanting to hear the information and perspectives she sensed.

Before Han Dong could speak,

Miss Jane’s words also became urgent.

“The letter mentioned that you would only stay here for two hours and would not touch related events… I came in a hurry and wasn’t able to bring anything.

This place is dangerous! Centered around that red-clad woman, the Yin Qi in this area is twisting.

I can barely handle it, but I can’t guarantee your safety.

Nicholas, leave quickly.”

“Alright!”

Since Miss Jane had said so, Han Dong immediately took off at full speed toward the exit.

It was at that moment… whoosh! A chill wind howled.

Accompanied by it, the sound of a body being torn apart came from behind.

Han Dong glanced over.

The corpse of Dragon Granny, which had just fallen in front of him after a fall, was becoming deformed… Her back exploded.

An arm clad in red slowly crawled out from Dragon Granny’s split back.

“What is this?”

Han Dong then slowly lifted his gaze and saw the red-clad woman still floating above the rooftop.

At the same time.

In each room of the densely inhabited apartment where Dragon Granny lived, a similar variant of red-clad women began to appear, their faces ‘restricted’ and not clear to see.

However, these red-clad women varied in height, build, hairstyle, and age.

The most exaggerated differences were between a little girl with twin ponytails and a hunched old woman with white hair.

Nevertheless.

These red-clad women were just staring at Han Dong and had no intention of coming forward to act.

As Han Dong pushed Miss Jane out of “Yin Yang Road”, the street where Dragon Granny lived also disappeared behind them.

“Thank you… thank you all!!”

The dismembered spirit stuffed in the large leather bag was also frightened into a cold sweat.

As an evil spirit that had been dismembered, to be scared to this extent, it could indeed leave the group… But it’s not that she was particularly cowardly, rather the situation just now was completely beyond the evil spirit’s understanding.

It was because of Han Dong’s presence that she managed to keep her life.

All other beings who had gone to visit Dragon Granny due to [July 14th] were all dead.

Actually, even recalling the eerie scene from just now, Han Dong still felt a lingering fear. The red attire matched that of Chen Li, but the other characteristics did not fit.

“Do you know something?”

The evil spirit in the bag hurriedly shook her head, “I… I don’t know anything, I’ve been dead in Kowloon World for over ten years, have never seen such a situation, nor have I seen this peculiar red-clad woman.

[Dragon Granny] is actually dead, Kowloon Association will be in great chaos.

Hurry… hurry and leave this place.”

“Is Dragon Granny a rather formidable ghostly entity?”

“I don’t know… What exactly Dragon Granny is, most of us evil spirits don’t know, but at least her status is higher than ours. Rumor has it, she’s in charge of the [Yin Yang Road] in Kowloon World, a mediator between Yin and Yang.

That’s also the reason we all need to visit her on [July 14th] every year.

There are unbreakable rules among us. That is, we must not cause trouble in Dragon Granny’s domain, and even less so endanger her safety… Let alone whether you’d be killed by Dragon Granny, such behavior would cause us to lose the right to continue living among people.”

Han Dong stroked his chin, “So, this red-clad woman has broken the [rules].”

At that thought,

Han Dong smiled and didn’t seem to want to continue probing.

He reached out and took Miss Jane’s hand:

“Miss Jane, the investigation of this world is settled… Thank you very much.”

“…When will you return to Derry Town?”

“Derry Town is undergoing modifications, isn’t it? As one of the Ten Devils, you must be quite busy… Even if I went back now, I could only stay for a couple of hours, just like now.

Moreover, we have many things to deal with on our end.”

“That’s true… You’ve only been back for a year, you must be on the expedition you mentioned before.”

“Once I have some clarity on the ‘Deep Layer’ stuff, I will try to take Miss Jane to more interesting places.”

“Go on with your business.” Jane did not wish to retain Han Dong, only hoping that he could take care of his own matters.

And with the various modifications being made in Derry Town, she would indeed be swamped when the time came.

“Alright.”

With that,

Han Dong applied to sever the Consciousness Connection.

First of all, Miss Jane, who did not belong to this world, vanished immediately.

“Please find the nearest communication device, bring your head close to the device to complete the ‘Consciousness Return’.”

“Hmm? Isn’t it a direct return?”

Han Dong’s host was just a beggar, without such things as mobile phones… Besides, the setting corresponding to ‘Yin Yang Road’ was Hong Kong in the 90s; mobile phones were scarce then.

He looked around.

A phone booth at the edge of the street was quickly spotted by Han Dong.

The woman in the bag, having witnessed Miss Jane’s disappearance, spoke softly, “Indeed, you are not from this place… Please feel free to dump me by the roadside, I need to find a ‘delivery person’ to take me out of Kowloon World.”

“Sure.”

Han Dong hurriedly dragged the large bag towards the phone booth.

He dropped the bag at the entrance of the phone booth… After all, Miss Jane was gone, and this Evil Spirit could still offer some protection to prevent being intercepted at the last moment.

It was while Han Dong entered the booth and held the public telephone to his ear,

Feeling his consciousness being slowly pulled away from the beggar’s body…

All of a sudden,

Thwack! A heavy slapping sound.

On the eve of his consciousness departure, Han Dong turned to look outside the phone booth…

The Evil Spirit in the bag widened her bloodshot eyes, her face twisted in pain.

Her jaw was already torn,

From her ‘fully opened’ mouth, an arm wearing red had extended out… Thwack, thwack~ pounding heavily on the phone booth and leaving behind numerous blood handprints.

The red-clothed hand swayed left and right on the glass, seemingly bidding Han Dong farewell.

Whoosh!

In an instant,

Han Dong’s consciousness had returned to the ‘Connection Room’ in the Black Tower.

A drop of cold sweat uncontrollably trickled down his cheek… If the lady in red truly intended to harm Han Dong, she had a perfect opportunity just then.

However, as the cold sweat fell, the corners of Han Dong’s mouth lifted ever so slightly.

“If that ‘Red-Clothed Entity’ does belong to Miss Chen Li, then spending 60 points to provide Miss Chen Li with this experience was indeed worth more than the value.

The ‘Red-Clothed Entity’ has touched and even disrupted the rules of ‘Yin Yang Road’, which may trigger turbulence across the small world… This way, Chen Li won’t be dragging her feet.

Once Chen Li returns her condition to normal, she can come back on her own.

If she could fully break through the small world of ‘Yin Yang Road’, she might gain some sort of special ‘promotion’.”

With matters related to himself wrapped up,

Han Dong, holding two hundred points, prepared to stroll around the plaza once more, seeking treasures and conversing with the lives from other ‘external worlds’ to deepen his understanding of the worldview.

Then it would almost be time to consider reuniting with his teammates.
