"The Faceless Skull Upgrade is complete! Current Level: LV.2

Wow!

Han Dong woke up in the basement, his tentacles had been retracted into his neck, and his appearance had changed to "Valen. Nicholas".

A strong feeling of nausea welled up in my heart.

Vomit!

The vomit is not ordinary gastric juice.

It's some filthy and turbid liquid, plus fish bones, octopus whiskers, and shellfish!

"This! I ......"

Memories of spending a lifetime as a fisherman in Innsmouth.

It is not as illusory as a dream, it is like reality, deeply imprinted in Han Dong's mind.

Han Dong, who finally sailed to the sea, seemed to hear a nameless call and abandoned the fishing boat to embrace the sea.

"Innsmouth...... This memory is so hard to block! ”

It is different from the 14 years of life in Drew that was implanted when I entered Drew.

This memory is Han Dong's own experience, and it contains 'emotions' in it.

Staring at the puddle of vomit in front of him, Han Dong couldn't tell the truth of his memory for a while.

The identity of the "fisherman",

Fish-man body changes,

The call from the depths of the sea,

It was like being imprinted in Han Dong's mind, lingering.

Sensing Han Dong's abnormality, Chen Li approached as soon as possible and stretched out her hand to help.

Chen ...... Miss Chen Li! How long has it been? ”

"Three hours and 27 minutes...... There is no movement in the clown house for the time being, and they should have dragged the [Purgatory Monk] for the time being. ”

The time is normal, the situation is normal.

But Han Dong didn't have any expression of joy on his face because of the successful upgrade of his head...... His face was gloomy and his thoughts were disorganized.

"Let me take a break, I'm not feeling well."

Skull upgrades, energy refills, tentacles, and the abilities of the Ibis have all been increased.

But...... Han Dong's discomfort is spiritual.

The intense smell of sea fish and the severe dampness, coupled with the personal experience of turning into a 'fish man', made Han Dong feel a strong discomfort on the mental level.

Han Dong continued to rest.

Close your eyes and refresh yourself.

Thinking about the meaning of the appearance of this 'fisherwoman's life'.

"Could it be that [Innsmouthtown] has something to do with my head? Is it the memory that the owner of this head used to seal? Or is it one of the memories......

After leaving the Destiny Space, I have to check through the channels to see if there is a place in the original world where [Innsmouth] is located. ”

(10-minute break)

Block out this fisherman's memory as much as possible.

Ease up.

Han Dong was not in a hurry to join the monk's battle.

Instead, he pulled an old book out of his pocket.

It is the large-scale clue obtained by clearing the [Twisted Sewer Pipe] incident: "The Terrifying History of Dre Town".

The words 'Dre Town' are printed on the surface of the book.

This book is of great value to this fateful event.

Even though there are many side quests in Return of the Joker, large quests like this are the only ones in the side quest collector.

Such clues will greatly unravel the secrets of 'New Drey' and the Joker's origins.

The content of this book will explain the origin of New Delrey, that is, the clown came from [Li] to [Table] and affected the affairs of New Delrey Town......

"Hopefully this big clue will help me understand something.

It gives me a thorough understanding of Pennywise!

Call...... I hope that in the end, there will not be too many variables, so I can help the clown and kill this monk Togu to end it successfully.

However, it shouldn't be that easy. ”

To be honest, Han Dong never completely trusted [Joker Pennywise].

Even if the relationship changed to 'neutrality', Han Dong still did not relax at all.

After all, the Joker is an extremely special boss, and he has long learned the secret of fate through other squads that have entered here.

The 'clown's conspiracy theory' was deduced by Han Dong, and he naturally won't forget it.

This cooperation with the Joker is only based on the level of 'common enemy'...... Once the common enemy does not exist, the relationship between them naturally does not exist.

The reason why Han Dong chose to upgrade his head at the 'critical moment' was that in addition to the containment plan, there was another purpose.

Keep a hand.

If everyone follows the clown to fight against the monk Togu, if the 'conspiracy theory' is put into it, there is a vague feeling of being led by the clown's nose.

If you can change the main quest once, you may be able to change it a second time.

Click~ (The clockwork device unfolds into a projector)

"Start looking at leads."

Han Dong first uploaded this ancient book from Dre Town to the [Auxiliary Clue Collector].

When a large branch icon on the projection screen is lit.

At the same time, Han Dong also held two other clues in his hands...... It comes from Han Dong delaying the clown in the sewers, and Cass and the others completing the side plot in Dre Town.

The 'correlation line' composed of different clues has increased the Joker's intelligence by a full 50%.

Han Dong combined the results of the deduction of the system and then read it carefully.

When flipping through this ancient book of Derui Town, some information about the 'clown' made Han Dong sweat coldly.

The "clown conspiracy theory" slowly gained arguments in the process of reading this book.

In addition, the problem of clowns 'getting stronger' is also mentioned in old books.

"The clown's strength is not a continuous phenomenon, but a sudden increase in a level every once in a while!"

It is accurately recorded in the books that the Joker will be enhanced every time an outside team arrives in Dre Town.

"Destiny events can essentially be understood as an asymmetrical game between 'hunter' and 'prey'.

At the monolithic level, the clowns who are much stronger than us belong to the 'hunter side', and we belong to the 'prey side'.

Everyone is a participant in the Destiny event.

Either side wins, and the system rewards will be awarded.

If our 'prey side' wins, we can get Destiny Points, cards, and even some physical rewards.

And if the 'Hunter side' wins, it should also get the corresponding rewards.

The reason why the Joker can continue to grow stronger is precisely because he wins as a 'hunter' in one fateful event after another...... According to the books, it has killed four entire squads.

This is also why he was afraid of [Li-Old Dre Town] at the beginning, but he dared to slowly go deep into the middle level first, and even tried to completely dominate Old Dre Town. ”

Half an hour passed.

The information recorded in the book was read by Han Dong and the conclusions deduced from the auxiliary device.

【Joker Conspiracy】

The Joker's true conspiracy has finally been speculated for the most part.

Such a result made Han Dong fall into deep thought and frown.

"Is this the true sense of the word, the difficulty of a four-star [Destiny Space]?

Luckily, I saved a hand ahead of time and stayed here to upgrade my head.

Otherwise, even if I think carefully about various side lines and 'small things', I will still be led by the clown in the 'big things', and the final result will not be changed.

A complete failure, our squad becomes a clown's experience points!

The four teams of trainee knights were all wiped out in Dre Town, not because they were not strong...... Just because this clown is too difficult to deal with.

It's still too late.

I have this brain, which is close to a cheat, and I barely have a chance to turn the tables. ”

Knock knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the basement door.

The greeting voice of [Parasitic Subject-Bella] came: "Han Dong, can I come in?" ”

For some reason, Bella's voice always sounded weird......
