Incandescent lamps that flicker irregularly,

Old TVs full of snowflakes due to no signal,

Motionless parents sitting on the couch,

and a gift box printed with an image of a spooky clown.

All of these are scenes that were not in the original movie "Return of the Joker", and more importantly, in the original "Return of the Joker" movie, only teenagers and children can see the scary clowns in Dreish.

Adults are invisible.

Now, in the fate world where Han Dong lives, his parents have been seriously affected.

Therefore, Han Dong has completely abandoned the original plot and emptied the brain recycle bin as an unknown event.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Han Dong also quickly sent the information of the current encounter from the clockwork device to Cass and others...... It's just that I haven't been able to receive a reply for a long time.

It seems that Cass and his party are also in a 'predicament'.

"It's not a way to drag it out, let's solve it yourself......"

Han Dong motioned for Chen Li to stay at the staircase, and Han Dong went down to investigate first, and Chen Li was ready to support at any time.

Just when Han Dong stepped down the last step.

The familiar sound of the system echoed in my head again.

"Side Event Activated [Laughing Parents]

Asking for housework?!

Reward small clues (Laugh Box) and minimally increase the probability of obtaining a "Destiny Card" in the final reward.

"Hmm!! This is also a feeder!?

However, the scale of the event is significantly smaller than that of the school's side events, so it corresponds to small clues.

Moreover, this time the side story is directly related to [Joker-Pennywise], and even the description of 'Request' has become strange.

Is this world of destiny mainly based on various side quests? ”

It was while Han Dong was thinking.

Ben was a parent sitting on the couch watching the TV, deflecting their heads in a rather blunt way......

The body remained upright, only the head on the neck was twisting mechanically.

Rotated just 90 degrees and looked straight at Han Dong.

It's completely different from the kind parents in my impression.

Both wore exaggerated bright red lipsticks and had extremely exaggerated smiles (reaching the stretching limit of the cheekbones (muscles of the face)).

The widening of the eyeballs felt like they could 'pop out' of their sockets at any moment.

"Nicholas...... Why haven't you slept yet? The same voice came out of my mother's mouth as before.

"Come down and have a glass of water."

Faced with such a terrifying scene, Han Dong had a normal face, turned around and walked to the kitchen to pour water.

However, just as Han Dong walked to the kitchen and turned his back to his 'parents'.

Click!

Click!

The first sound is the sound of the TV turning off.

The second sound is the sound of the lights turning off.

This meant that all the light sources in the house were extinguished, and only a faint ray of moonlight came in through the window.

Click, click~ (nail scraping)

Something seems to be crawling fast in the dark.

Han Dongyi turned around.

His parents stood upright in front of him, smiling at all times.

Han Dong, who had been mentally prepared in advance, was indifferent, completely suppressed the fear in his body, and stretched out his hand slightly to signal Chen Li, who was hidden in the dark, to do it.

During this period, Han Dong kept smiling and looked at his parents throughout the whole process.

At this moment, a red shadow flashed.

The kitchen knife surrounded by evil energy instantly cut through the necks of parents.

Arteries are broken, 'oil' is surging.

The parents' heads just landed in the sink on the side, still maintaining a 'smile', staring at Han Dong with wide eyes the whole time, without any deviation.

The body that was missing the head fell heavily.

Weird!

The corpses that fell to the ground were like balloons...... Syllable! Explode!

…………

Syllable!

Balloon popping!

Han Dong's consciousness shook.

In the blink of an eye, he was by the brightly lit second-floor bedroom window.

The red balloon outside the window had just been blown up...... Han Dong saw the clown who jumped up and left on the street again, cold sweat running down his temples.

"Going back in time? Impossible, right!? ”

Han Dong immediately turned his head to look at the clock in the room.

Compared to Han Dong leaving the room before, ten minutes have passed.

In addition, specimens of parasites have been received in bookcases.

Both of the above situations are enough to show that there is no turning back of time.

Han Dong quietly left the dormitory and looked through the gap in the stairwell at the living room...... It was found that the parents were sitting on the sofa unscathed, exactly the same as before.

This means that it is not a time callback, but a simple 'scene reset'.

With the death of a parent, it will all start over.

"How is such a scene reset done? Thinking Influence? ”

Just as Han Dong was deep in thought, a system prompt sounded

"Housework needs to be handled by the members of the family themselves, and no outsiders are allowed to interfere, and if you deliberately violate the rules to reset the scene, you will be severely punished."

"In other words, does this have to be done by myself? Even Chen Li, who established a 'master-servant relationship' with me, is not allowed to interfere?

"Housework" originally meant that. ”

Since this is the case, Han Dong immediately took Chen Li back to prison.

With a previous experience, Han Dong can be sure that even his parents who are influenced by clowns are not particularly strong.

At least Chen Li used the means of sneak attack, which could be solved with one knife.

Both Destiny Items are activated.

The ghoul arm is also semi-active, the size remains the same and the nails are elongated to about 10.

To deal with the enemy of ordinary mutations, Han Dong still has to keep a hand...... After all, all of this may be seen by the clown, and Han Dong doesn't want to throw all the hole cards out at the beginning.

Crunch~

When Han Dong pushed open the bedroom door again, the situation at home became different.

Only the TV was still on, and the parents who were sitting on the couch were gone.

Triggers the Raven Mark on the back of the hand.

A beak mask with night vision was formed, and darkness no longer had any effect on Han Dong.

Han Dong first conducted a search at home, but found no trace of his parents.

Since the search was fruitless.

Only back to the living room area

Staring at the open clown box on the table, there was still a note inside.

After making sure that there was no one around, Han Dong quickly pulled out the note and checked the information on it.

"[Housework] Deal with the family members who are not right

(Remind that in the eyes of people who are wrong, those who are normal are people who are wrong!?)

Then.

The glass door from the kitchen to the backyard opens.

Parents with weird smiling faces walked into the house from the backyard.

The reason why Han Dong searched at home to no avail was because his parents went to the backyard to 'get equipment'.

The mother was carrying a long-barreled shotgun in her hand, which was loaded.

My father was carrying a diesel chainsaw...... Thundered! Pulling the cable of the engine, the saw chain has been driven by the engine, and it is turning wildly.
