Chapter 1270 - 1270 1269 Integrating into Life

Chapter 1270: Chapter 1269: Integrating into Life Chapter 1270: Chapter 1269: Integrating into Life The first task given by the senior management was to send Han Dong to the World of Fate he had experienced and to engage in deep interaction.

For Other Derry Town, the town mayor was the center of everything.

All residents were carefully selected by the mayor, and deep interaction naturally required contact with the mayor.

“Miss Funa, congratulations! You seem to have grown to a higher level.”

Han Dong stared at Funa’s head crawling through his Fingers, sensing that Funa had completed her Opening the gate along with the upgrade of Derry Town.

Now, her arms made up the entire town hall.

“Lalala~ Can you tell? I’m quite impressive now… Would you like to battle with me later?”

“No need, I’m a bit short on time, next time for sure!

I have another question.

The residents personally selected by the mayor share a common trait – [Potential].

Residents with significant potential congregate here to cooperate and benefit each other, able to grow and upgrade along with Derry Town.

Of course, there are also residents who can’t keep up with the town’s development; the mayor gives them a certain amount of compensation time… if they still can’t keep up, they will be stripped of their residency and then the mayor will select new residents to fill the vacancies.

Due to the uniqueness of Other Derry Town, naturally, many people want to come here.

I suppose, with this large-scale promotion, quite a few residents have been eliminated, and the mayor must be busy recruiting new residents during this time, right?”

Funa stuck a finger out from her mouth against her nose and shook her head:

“Not at all!

The mayor has temporarily handed over the task of eliminating residents to me. As for recruiting new residents, that’s been put aside for now, as the mayor is busy with something more important.”

“More important… Could it be related to the [Throne] corresponding to the High-order World?”

When Han Dong first arrived in Other Derry Town, he was still at the beginning stages of his Talent Tree.

At that time, Han Dong’s concept of levels was vague, and he didn’t even know about Ancestor Body or Mythic Body.

When he met the mayor, he simply felt that the mayor was inscrutable and couldn’t estimate the related levels.

But now, thinking back.

Since Other Derry Town was marked as (special) by the Black Tower, the restrictions of the town might be different from other middle-order worlds.

The mayor might have already broken through the restrictions of a middle-order world when he first managed Derry Town… Similar to the Tomb Lord, he might already be a Mythic Body, perhaps even at the Late Mythical Period.

Nowadays, Other Derry Town has obtained a promotion.

As a [High-order World] it will also obtain a king’s qualifications.

Considering that the mayor has temporarily transferred personnel management to Funa, it’s very likely that he himself is already considering the matters of becoming a King.

The deeper along the passage, the stronger the effect of the Field of No Light, and even the Night Vision Ability has no effect here.

One can only abandon vision and move forward through the Field of No Light using other senses.

[No-light Cellar]

Some basic information about the cellar can be gathered through sensory feedback.

At the center of the hexagonal cellar, there is a well whose destination is unknown.

“Wait a moment, I will retract my domain.”

The Field of No Light engulfs all light sources, and can be considered an advanced version of dark abilities.

The darkness recedes like a tide back into the well within the cellar.

Following that.

The mayor, dressed in a black suit and his face completely secluded by the Field of No Light, floated up from the well.

Behind him coiled several black, Tentacles-like substances that seemed to be condensed from the No Light matter that was just retracted.

When Han Dong tried to sneak a peek at the situation inside the well, he realized that it was an absolute zone of no light inside; to know what was down there, one had to jump in and feel it personally.

Clearly, the mayor was engaged in matters related to himself.

When Han Dong, with his entirely new perspective, tried to ‘grade’ the mayor, he frowned, still unable to see through him.

“The effect of the Field of No Light? Even after retracting it into the body, it’s impossible to see through the mayor at all; all senses that are spread out will be devoured by the no light, how terrifying…”

If the mayor is to be compared to a mythological figure, he is definitely the most terrifying one Han Dong has ever seen.

“Sorry to bother you, Mayor… I’m mainly here for the [Opening the gate] process.”

“Hmm, I can probably guess.

The multiplicity of the Fate System will make the individuals’ gate-opening process more complex, and the failure rate will grow exponentially. Coming to Derry Town is the right choice.

As the starting point for developing your Talent Tree, this place will inevitably play a significant role during the Open Door Period.”

“Mayor, you know all this? What should I do?”

“Your connection to Derry Town is mainly due to [Clown – Pennywise]… When Derry Town was being promoted, I deliberately preserved the hometown circus where Pennywise once worked.

You can go there and experience a day in the life of a clown.”

“Thank you for the guidance, Mayor.”

“Also, when you have time, visit the neighbors. After all, you’re essentially one of the residents of the town.”

“Alright.”

Han Dong sets aside two days.

On the first day, he visits the circus, only to be warmly welcomed by the townsfolk working there, who revere him as the [Demon Slayer]… since Han Dong had killed the clown.

With their help, Han Dong quickly integrates into the circus.

Through the makeup techniques of [Finger-snapping Demon – Miss Melissa], Han Dong stares at the incredibly realistic clown makeup in the mirror. Guided by the enlightenment from the Talent Tree of “Madness Study,” he immediately immerses himself in the madness of the clown form.

He even performs at the evening’s mini-theater.

Even though there’s only one audience member, they give Han Dong’s performance high praise.

Spending half of the day immersed in the clown act, most of Han Dong’s time was spent in weird Mad Laughs, a very peculiar feeling descended upon him, achieving some sort of elevation in consciousness.

After resigning the next day.

Walking on the street, Han Dong would occasionally cover his mouth with a Mad Laugh, and even make some incomprehensible comical movements.

The strange Laughter echoing through the streets frightened the residents who had been under the clown’s influence; they thought Pennywise had returned.

During the period of adjustment, Han Dong goes door to door, interacting with the townsfolk.

Drinking several pints of wheat beer filled with the taste of blood at the Human Demon Club,

Holding the Scarecrow Sam’s hand walking around the farm,

Following Dean Richard in the hospital to conduct a Void ritual,

And finally, spending the remaining time lying on an autopsy table in the Morgue with Miss Jane,

Such visits allowed Han Dong to recapture the feeling of when he first came to Derry Town.

At the same time, all the Ten Devils as well as several beings ranked just below them, such as those in the Human Demon Club, have also achieved their gate-opening with the town’s promotion.

In his chat with Miss Jane, he also learned important information.

The townsfolk’s gate-opening is of a “dual nature.”

It relates to their own developmental system on one hand and the impact Derry Town has on them on the other.

Spending two days.

Although reluctant to leave the town, Han Dong decisively returns to the Black Tower.

…

“Formal Employee – Han Dong

Confirmed as a [Prometheus] world Node holder, you may visit the corresponding world for free during your stay.”

The instant Han Dong returned to the City of Gods as a Node holder,

A massive wave of memory data surged into his brain, an influx of data which could literally blow up the head of an ordinary person.

And in front of Han Dong,

Stood a lavishly dressed, good-looking Egyptian princess… Such a gaze made Han Dong feel very strange.

Because the essence of the Egyptian princess is none other than himself.
