Chapter 98: Joker's Party
Chapter 98: Joker's Party
It was at the time when Han Dong triggered the event.
Cass and others are in a residential community, questioning some elderly people who have been living in the area for a long time, especially lonely elderly people who have had family members go missing.
Investigating about the Joker.
But the results of the investigation were unsatisfactory.
Many seniors claimed that their family members were taken away.
But as to what it is and what clues and information they have, these old people just shake their heads vigorously.
Even as they talk about the subject, their eyes flicker with fear.
It was as if talking about it too much would get them arrested as well.
And so, the three of them gradually walked to the end of the community street.
"Let's call it a night for now, it's hard to make any substantial progress with such a clueless exploration, it's better to approach it through the school's branching events.
Everyone go home and rest and refresh yourselves, we may need to face a large number of parasitic hosts tomorrow."
"Boss Cass, there's something in the streets!"
Just as the team was about to disband, Coslin, wearing his special goggles, made a discovery in the street, a red balloon was being tied to a tree branch in the street.
"Huh?!?"
The squad is on alert, slowly approaching the past with Cass at the head.
Just in the process, a message is sent from Han Dong, however, Cas has no time for text messages before disposing of the red balloon.
Just as Cass approaches the tree where the balloons are hanging, he finds a mother and daughter on the other side of the tree, the little girl crying that she lost her balloon.
Through a series of means it was confirmed that the mother and daughter were normal people.
It was a false alarm.
Cass immediately went up the tree, took down the balloon and returned it to the little girl.
While witnessing the mother and daughter leave, a familiar figure is jogging towards Cass and the others, settling in to see that it is an anxious-looking Han Dong.
"Brother Aaron? Aren't you working on the parasite at home?"
"I happened to spot the suspected target out the window and followed him all the way! Keep following me to a weird building, I just sent you a message and you didn't reply to me."
Once Cass checked the wind-up device, there was really a message from Han Dong asking for help.
In fact, Cass had some suspicions about Han Dong suddenly appearing on the street in the middle of the night, but after checking the wind-up device that couldn't possibly 'lie', his guard was lowered considerably.
"Where's the building?"
"It's just down the block ahead, want to go?"
"Let's go check it out, it would be perfect to confirm the Joker's lair in advance, take us there."
"Hmm."
Soon, the team was standing in front of a long-aged abandoned building, a building that contrasted sharply with the surrounding bungalows and had the dilapidated feel of one that hadn't been inhabited for hundreds of years.
"Let's go!"
Cass took out the "Shield of Power Lion" and walked in front.
Fia follows in second place.
Han Dong was third and Coslin was at the end.
Just as Cass was about to step into the building.
Boom! The sound of gunfire is heard from the end of the line.
Han Dong, who was in the third position, was hit by an "explosive fire" at zero range. His head was gone and his neck wound was completely charred.
The one who fired the gun was the last man in the group, Coslin.
With cold eyes and no hesitation!
The unusual reaction to such an unexpected situation, which Cass and the others didn't have either, seemed to have been expected.
Snap!
The headless Han Dong's body exploded like a balloon as it fell to the ground, shattering into red balloon pieces.
Hehehe.
A strange laughter came from inside the building.
Poking his head out, he appears at the entrance of the building.
A dirty white clown costume, a face covered in white paint, lips and nose all dyed red.
Slightly lowered head, with a strange look at the three, a strange sneer, and then said
"How did you find out?"
Cass brought the shield up in front of him and answered cautiously.
" Derry Town and it's streets were almost empty of activity at night, but suddenly a mother and daughter appeared, just as they were holding red balloons again.
Even more unfortunate was the appearance of friend Aaron.
Some of the other details we can't talk about."
"Only smart people, can attend a big party I'm throwing. You belong to the smart people! Please come in."
The Joker then struck an inviting pose, requesting the three to enter the crumbling building.
At the same time, the system sound came
"Hidden events activated
Introduction to gain the approval of Pennywise and receive "guest" status.
Ask to participate in Pennywise's once every 27 years night party and complete the corresponding clown game according to the instructions and requirements of the party.
Reward Pennywise gives a thank you gift.
Note: You must make an internal decision whether or not to enter the building corresponding to the event. If you do not enter, the hidden event will never be opened again.
"One minute!"
Contacting Han Dong would definitely be too late.
But such a hidden event could be hard to come by, and once it could be completed, one would be rewarded with unexpected rewards, maybe an important clue that was directly related to the Joker.
In past Destiny Spaces, before Han Dong had joined the team, the three of them had overcome many obstacles and made it through, A hidden event was just a hidden event, it was not difficult for the three of them.
Moreover, based on Cass' experience and what he knew from his mentor, once the hidden event was triggered, go ahead and complete it as much as possible.
Its difficulty would not be particularly hard, and unexpected rewards would be gained afterwards.
Before entering, Cass tried to send a message to Han Dong.
However, the signal had been completely blocked long before setting foot on the territory of this dilapidated mansion or on this 'non-existent street'.
----------------------------------
That's it.
The first night of "The Return of the Joker (Table Chapter)" passed.
Han Dong, who woke up in the morning, still had some pain in his lower body region.
However, with the assistance of the fungus, this injury that hadn't injured his internal organs and bones had recovered by 70% to 80%, and basically didn't affect his activities.
Just as Han Dong woke up, there was a system sound again
Your teammates, Cass Martini and others, are participating in a special hidden event in a special space, until they complete the event or die, the current fate event will be changed to 'Single Mode'.
Note that in single mode, the cooperative setting will be hidden, and the difficulty of various events will decrease accordingly.
"No wonder Cass didn't reply to the message, but they actually let them trigger the hidden event right at the start, saying that, there are really a lot of various types of events in this movie."
Han Dong wasn't too worried at all.
In his opinion, his chosen teammates wouldn't die easily.
"The single-player mode, fits me well, though."
Han Dong, who had just made it up on the bed, stared at the desk and was shocked for a moment.
The desk was filled with all sorts of medicines, and even the floor was piled high, all of this was done by Chen Li who was squatting in the corner.
"These drugs, what's the deal?"
Chen Li in the corner looked up slightly and said carelessly
"After you fell asleep, I snuck out to buy medicine, I didn't know any foreign language, so I had to bring back all kinds of medicine."
"You're robbing them."
"The clerk passed out from shock and I chopped up the monitor and the corresponding computer, so he should be fine."
"E, thank you."
It was just as well that Sophia wasn't here, and Han Dong really had to rely on medicine to speed up the wound's recovery.
With an hour to go before school, Han Dong, who had applied the ointment on his wound, focused his attention on the "Surprise Gift Box".
