Familiar in front of the bell tower building.

There are about 20 teams of selected trainee knights waiting here, and there are still many new teams with bad faces, due to mental pressure, and even sleepless all night.

Han Dong has come to the bell tower for the third time.

Even if today's Destiny event will be more difficult with 'cards', it may even completely distort the original Destiny event.

However, Han Dong remained calm and stress-free.

The night spent at the Hotel made Han Dong feel his best, ready for any dangerous event.

It's time.

As the steam escaped, copper pipes descended.

The next second should naturally be the "clocker" coming out from the inside, but ......

But in Han Dong's eyes.

However, a red balloon floated out from the inside.

Immediately afterwards, [Clown-Pennywise], dressed in a fluffy clown costume and with white paint on his face, jumped out of the bottom door of the bell tower.

Walking on the cheerful dance steps, he came to Han Dong with the red balloon.

used its big nose to sniff it on Han Dong's body.

"Hmm...... Dangerous breath!

It looks like you're about to embark on an extraordinary adventure again...... Don't die on the way, I'm still waiting for you to come back and visit in [Dre Town]. ”

The clown stretched out his hand and pointed to his empty right arm sleeve robe:

"But...... I always have a feeling you're going to have an accident this time!

Didn't you cut off my arm? When it's dangerous, you can take it out and use it...... Maybe you'll survive. I don't want you to die in another world. ”

Syllable! The balloon popped.

The balloon in the Joker's hand bursts.

Abel snapped his fingers in front of Han Dong.

"Nicholas...... Are you okay? ”

"It's fine!"

When Han Dong came back to his senses, only their team was left outside the bell tower.

"Joker...... Arms?'

Han Dong has been storing that arm in a sterile laboratory, completely restrained by a testing device, and cannot be used for the time being because his 'upper weight limit' has reached the limit.

"Let's wait until it's really in danger before we think about it."

…………

When the last team entered the bell tower.

It is still through a series of testing and waiting processes...... Listening to the sound of thousands of gears interacting inside the bell tower, the team finally came to the gate of fate.

When staring at a deep 'door' that leads to no one.

Blacksmith Wen Liyin was a little scared when he first came here.

Mia, who was on the side, immediately put her face on her face and relaxed Wen Li by kissing and touching her...... It seems that after last night's enjoyment, the relationship between the two has changed for the better.

"Let's go!"

Able grabbed the "Destiny Card (Scepter)" in his hand.

Hand in hand, the four of them stepped in together.

"Detected that a team member is carrying a Destiny Card (Scepter), do you use it?]

As Abel conveys the consciousness of affirmation.

Airplanes......

After a burst of tinnitus.

Once again, fall in the familiar area before the opening of the Destiny Event - [Image Shop]

"Strange...... Isn't it a random choice? How did you still come to the Impact Store? ”

The first few times Han Dong was able to come here, it was because he consumed the fate card with the 'right to choose'.

Come to the video store and make relevant choices.

However, the cards used this time do not have the 'right to choose', which simply increases the difficulty.

It stands to reason that everyone should be transported directly to a completely distorted world of destiny.

…………

"The CDs and books on these shelves are not visible...... Even if it's 'random', do we have to make a choice? ”

Unlike the previous ones.

All the products in the video store are covered in a thick black fog that cannot be dispersed or seen clearly.

A system prompt sounds.

"Please remove any item from the shelves that corresponds to the 'Destiny Background' and put the Destiny Card in your hand into it to 'combine'...... The binding process is expected to take 30 minutes.

Tip: Don't attempt to view your listing in any way, or you'll be erased.'

Since there is no information that can be read, the choice is the same.

"Captain Abel, since the card is yours, it's up to you to decide."

"Okay."

Abel, who was born and raised in the Holy City, seemed to be a little repulsed by the CDs he had never seen before, and went straight to the book area.

According to Mr. Black and White's request, try to pick the 'difficult' events as much as possible, but you can't check the product information here.

Abel's head is still relatively simple, directly linking 'thickness' to 'difficulty'.

Picked out a fairly thick book and put it in front of the cash register.

The next step is to combine the Destiny Cards with the book as required.

When Able gently placed the glittering card into the book, the golden light immediately dispelled the black mist on the surface of the book.

『Product upgrade......

During this process, please refrain from touching the books that are being fused or touch other items in the video store."

With nothing to do, he could only stare at the cover of the book where the fog had been dispelled.

There are two characters that only Han Dong knows.

【Strange Talk】

The distorted font is eerie, and the 'mouth' that makes up the second character resembles a bottomless humanoid mouth, with a black eye inside, as if staring at a reader.

The background of the book cover is an eerie "crossroads".

A closer look reveals many 'interesting' details.

For example, in a taxi waiting for a traffic light, the driver has no hands at all.

A woman pushing a stroller on the sidewalk left a trail of blood on her path.

On the display case in the newsstand at the corner of the street, there seemed to be a row of dried human heads.

On the clothes pole on the balcony of a certain household, there are wrinkled leather bags.

"Dongying...... Strange talk? It's a bit of a hassle......"

Han Dong quickly recognized the book's source.

This is not a book from my own homeland, but from a small island nation right next to my homeland.

Although the island country is small, there are many strange stories circulating inside.

Many of the top directors of thriller movies were born in this island nation.

Moreover, the literary works created by them are often 'Bad-Ending', and the 'existence' involved in them is almost impossible to oppose.

Han Dong rarely watched such idealistic movies or books during his lifetime.

It's just that I've heard on the Internet about how scary thriller movies in the island country are, and even scared people to death.

At the beginning, in Han Dong's opinion, even if it could really scare people to death, it was just some people with serious heart disease who died by themselves.

Now that I think about it, it is certain that he himself may have died in such a literary work, and I always feel a little ironic.

"I guess, even if you don't fuse the Destiny Card...... The fate world corresponding to this book is also very difficult.

Let's hope the cards don't distort the original world so much that we don't have a clue at all.

Miss Wen Li in the team should also be afraid of this type of world background...... Let Mia take good care of him. ”

Wait quietly.

With the gradual merging of the cards, the crossroads of the book cover become 'alive'.

"The combination is complete, and the scene is being generated......

Suddenly.

The book was opened and Han Dong and his party were dragged into it.

【Strange Talk】

It's officially started.
