My Cell Prison

Chapter 107: Clues and Conspiracy

The timeline closes.

Han Dong meets up with the squad.

As the 'parents' of Han Dong's family had been removed, the building belonged to Han Dong alone and would serve as a temporary base for the squad.

The squad gathered in the hall, ready to open the hidden reward.

'Joker's Thanksgiving'.

Compared to Han Dong's acquisition of the "Laughing Gift Box", the thank you gift is a bit larger, for safety's sake, Coslin uses a mechanical device to open it carefully at intervals of three meters or more.

Zzzz!

As soon as the lid was opened there was a light pink breath spilling out from inside the gift box, seemingly bizarre but actually harmless.

Hahaha~ Hahaha~

The Joker doll with the spring mechanism attached to the bottom is ejected from inside the gift box.

For a time, the squad personnel were all on alert.

Han Dong's 'eyes' quickly swept over the doll, confirmed that it was just an ordinary doll, and slowly approached it.

The Joker doll's hands passed a piece of paper forward, and an old camera hung from its neck.

These two items were the rewards for the hidden event.

After completing the main event of "The Return of the Joker (The Table)", you can exchange the coupon for a fate item at the time of the final reward.

The hidden clue "Old Camera" has been obtained; its function is unknown.

"Item redemption coupons! A reward worthy of a hidden event!"

Upon seeing this reward, Cass was overjoyed!

Of course, it was useless if you couldn't pass this event.

Han Dong wasn't interested in redemption coupons, but his focus was on the hidden clue "old camera".

The camera was equipped with a film inside, and all the functions were still working.

The next step was to sort out the clues.

The TV in the living room was removed.

The interface of the "Clue Collector" is projected on the TV wall.

The clues "Laughing Box" and "Diary Soaked in Water" are located in different places, but there are no substantial clues connecting them.

The icon for the medium-sized clue is significantly larger.

The diary icon has a thread that leads to a larger branch icon, it seems to be able to find out how to open this large branch through 'assisted deduction'.

The hidden clues are different.

When the clockwork device swept through and read the "old camera" message.

There is no clue icon on the screen.

Instead, the Joker icon is in the center of the screen.

About 15% of the area of the Joker icon is illuminated! A small portion of the information about the Joker was revealed.

"A portion of the Joker's information was revealed!?"

Surprised, Han Dong reached out and clicked on the 'diary dipped in water' icon and the Joker avatar in the center to see what information the support system could give.

[The diary of a dip in the water: In Derry Town Basic High School, there is an entrance to the 'hidden sewer'.

The sewers are full of strange creatures, so make sure your team is strong enough.

Special Note: Once you find the entrance to the sewer and enter it, a large branching plot will begin.]

The secret sewer referred to here seems to be different from the sewer system in Derry Town, it belongs to the place of origin of the parasitic subject-Bella, and it definitely contains a large amount of secrets.

"The secret sewer corresponds to a large branch line.

Bella, who had mutated within, was not under the Joker's control, and even attempted to create a parasitic army to fight the Joker.

Can we infer from this that the Joker himself was unable to intervene in this one place [Secret Sewer]?"

With doubts in his mind, Han Dong continued to look at the next clue information given by the system.

[Ultimate Information-[Joker Pennywise] has been unlocked for 15%.

Intelligence.

1. The Joker does not seem to exist in any of the neighborhoods, countryside or public buildings in Derry Town.

2.The camera may be able to find the entrance to the 'Vanishing Street'.

Note: Do not initiate contact with the Joker if you have not unlocked more than 50% of the total information.]

We will move on to the final stage of the discussion.

Combining the above clues, consider what the 'next step' should be.

Cass steps forward, first staring at the complex projection of the auxiliary clues and exclaims.

"The Destiny events we've experienced before simply don't have this many branching events, let alone the three levels of major, medium, and minor, the average Destiny event is only about four branching lines.

All of them would greatly advance the main plot once completed.

Although, this is a four-star difficulty Destiny World, there are too many branching lines, right?"

Cass' statement confirms one of Han Dong's thoughts to some extent.

So many branching threads and hidden events are exactly what The Joker Returns is all about, and Han Dong has a rather horrifying suspicion.

Han Dong gritted his teeth and decided to voice his horror conjecture before Captain Cass formulated his 'next plan'.

"I have a horror conspiracy theory I want to share with you all."

It wasn't the first time Han Dong had come up with a conspiracy plan.

As soon as he said that, the members of the squad immediately made their way to the side of the couch to hear Han Dong's point of view first.

"From the moment I arrived in the world of The Joker's Return (Table Chapter), I have felt an unexplainable sense of anomaly.

After experiencing these events, I've discovered a problem.

The Joker itself doesn't have a strong desire to attack, or even any desire to attack at all!

Whether it's the feeder events, or what you're experiencing [the Joker's party], the Joker hasn't launched a single active attack.

It always seemed to me that the Joker was enjoying it all.

I'm even more suspicious that a portion of the branching events may have been deliberately created by the Joker.

It sets up events, large and small, deliberately for us to trigger and complete, and even actively sets up clues and rewards.

And having set it all up, it simply watches the show from the shadows, stepping in slightly to change the 'parameters' if necessary, to add to the spectacle and interest of the events.

At least, the three events we've completed so far have been directly or indirectly related to him.

In the [Parasite School] incident, we might have had an extra 'teammate' if not for his interference.

Adding to the subtle changes I observed in Derry Town over the past two days (the increase in the number of balloons), the entire town is like a [Playground] controlled by the Joker.

Instead of being participants in our fate, we are more like outsider players in this Joker's game.

If we can't jump out of the Joker's bondage, we will eventually die or be trapped here forever, completely transforming into ordinary members of the town and living out our lives in the town of Derry.

By then, we will no longer be able to recognize ourselves.

Hopefully, this will be taken into account in the next 'plan making'.

Otherwise, we end up fighting to the death to accomplish all types of events, and in the Joker's opinion, it's nothing more than a few games in his amusement park."

The conspiracy theory given by Han Dong made the squad members break out in a cold sweat.

"This! What do you mean, Brother Andeva? Some of these many branching events were fictionalized by the Joker?"

"Most likely, so, we'd better pick the next few branching events that the Joker hasn't been able to directly intervene in.

The Joker is not the controller of the Destiny Space, and there are bound to be areas and mysterious events in this world that it doesn't understand or can't control."
