Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Special Event
Inside the Portable Prison.
Han Dong stood in front of the second cell, scrutinizing Togu, who was using the meticulous stitching technique of Tentacles to repair his limbs.
After the battle with Captain Marlon.
Togu, who had faced with death and survived, once again acquired noticeable growth, mainly in terms of resilience.
When his trained limbs were reconnected, the junctions were fortified by small iron chains for ‘Stitching’… Togu’s ‘Bronze Skin Iron Bones’ level seemed to have upgraded again, making his limbs no longer easy to break.
“Togu… for the rest of this event, rest well and don’t think of joining the fighting…”
“Hmm… Also, there is something I don’t quite understand.
Master, do you really trust that despicable Clown?”
As a Containment item, Togu naturally could sense everything happening outside.
He was absolutely against Han Dong using the ‘Clown’s Arm’.
But this was his master’s decision, so he didn’t dare to challenge it outright.
Han Dong explained briefly, “I had no choice but to pick the path of ‘Mr. Aha’. As things unfold, they get increasingly strange.
I have to consider the possibility of betrayal by Mr. Aha.
If I don’t take initiative, things might go wrong in the end.
Among the team, the only one who can handle this for me is the ‘Clown’.
Togu, you and the Clown are archnemeses; you should understand his character well. I completely disrupted his plans in Derry Town, sent him back to Old Derry Town ahead of time, and severed one of his hands.
Given his raging character, the Clown will inevitably seek revenge, and he certainly won’t let me die in another area.
In this regard, the Clown can still be of use.”
Togu nodded in agreement, “Indeed, master. You are right.”
“That’s enough…”
Han Dong entered the prison, placed his palm on Togu’s smooth head, “You focus on recovery. Your performance in Hell was impressive enough. Let us handle the rest.”
“Master, if you need to invoke the ‘Iron Chain Ability’, just call me.”
“Okay…”
Back in the ‘store’, only Han Dong remained. The Clown had been deployed on a task.
Mr. Aha in the rocking chair looked somewhat surprised; he didn’t expect Han Dong to secure the key so quickly.
“You’re quite efficient… I thought it would take you a day. Where is the Clown?”
“I have stored him away.”
Han Dong was capable of storing objects in a space, so Mr. Aha didn’t question this explanation… after all, the ‘Clown’s Arm’ was taken out from Han Dong’s skull space.
“Mr. Aha… What does this mean?”
Han Dong placed a keybox emitting a strong smell on the counter.
Mr. Aha first pulled out a characteristic key.
“Aha, I found the key to the lighthouse door. Turns out it was under the table… As for this key, it’s an important item you’ll need while working for me.
There’s a special door in the lighthouse that requires this key to open.
Then, you will bring the ‘Strange Tales’ confined inside back to me.”
Han Dong’s face changed.
Surely a door that requires such a special key must incarcerate a particularly terrifying ‘Strange Tale’.
“Confinement… what is the true nature of the lighthouse? You can tell me now, can’t you?”
“Of course.
As you can see, the ‘Strange Tales’ wandering the streets and alleys are very afraid of being spotted by the light… The lighthouse is the main structure of Paradise, the dwelling place of its manager.
To make these ‘Strange Tales’ live somewhat peacefully in Paradise, managing them is quite exhausting.
Therefore, the manager of Paradise built a lighthouse to monitor everything in Paradise at all times.
Any ‘Strange Tales’ that resist management, committed a huge mistake, or are deemed harmful to the stable development of Paradise are locked up in the lighthouse.
One of my dear friends, who is extremely stubborn and has a strong aggressive instinct, is confined in the depths of the lighthouse.
You need to free them.
Because of the high cost of this living key, and once the lighthouse staff discover your rescue attempt, the corresponding defensive measures will be strengthened, even changing the form of the door lock.
Therefore, I had to test you repeatedly to ensure that you have the ability to rescue my friend.
Will you help me?”
“Hmm…”
At this point, Han Dong naturally wouldn’t refuse.
“Special Event: [Mr. Aha’s request]”
Note: Special events require certain conditions to be triggered and completing them will affect the original mainline event.
Trigger conditions: Intimacy with Mr. Aha ≥ Friendly, possession of item ‘Blood Key’
Event requirement: ‘First Step’ delving into the important area – the lighthouse, and finding the secret door corresponding to the ‘Blood Key’.
Upon achieving the first step, the system will immediately provide the requirements for the second step.
Rewards:
1. Significant increase in individual’s intimacy with NPC Mr. Aha.
2. At least 100 Strange Tales Points.
3. Depending on how the event is completed, the main story is either simplified or complicated.
Mr. Aha scratched lightly at the bony protrusions on his face.
“You all need the points, right?
Due to the uniqueness of the lighthouse, you can gain a lot of points inside… after all, the lighthouse is the most dangerous area in Paradise.”
Han Dong gave a wry smile, “Points are not the issue. If we run out, I can think of a way… What I want to ask Mr. Aha is, if we complete this task, can you provide us with a covert route out of Paradise?”
He assumed asking this would be against Paradise’s rules and would put Mr. Aha in a tough spot.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Aha immediately made an ‘OK’ gesture.
“No problem… It’s a small matter.”
“Alright! We’ll do our utmost to rescue your friend, Mr. Aha… We still have some time, I’m going to get some sleep.”
Just as Han Dong was about to leave the counter.
Mr. Aha suddenly threw an old, worn-out book at him.
“This book contains some information about the lighthouse, although it’s a few decades old… You guys take it as a reference, it might help you to avoid quite a bit of danger.
Be careful of the ‘Searchlight’ in the lighthouse, it’s very dangerous.”
“Thank you for your warning, Mr. Aha.”
“Come find me when you wake up, I’ll take you there personally to avoid unnecessary waste of energy on the road… Take as much rest as you need before setting off, there’s no rush. Anyway, my friend has been locked up ever since Paradise was established, it doesn’t matter.”
“Alright.”
As soon as Han Dong lay down in the storage room, he fell asleep…
He slept for a full eight hours. When he woke up, the whole team was ready to go. Led personally by Mr. Aha, they were making their way to the central building of Paradise – the Lighthouse.
