It's broad daylight, and while there aren't any troublemakers, there are too many of these little bugs, aren't there?"
During the journey to the [Main Control Room], the walls are full of strange objects.
The Joker at the forefront was like a gopher with a hammer to lead.
Without Han Dong making a move at all, this grey passage directly turned into a monster corpse pile-up area.
It wasn't just the 'rats inside the walls' that he encountered at the beginning.
Occasionally, a spirit ghost would also run out, similar to the 'Eye of Naxxamus', with a humanoid upper body and a spirit tail dragging on the lower body.
It emits terrifying screams along the way, coming straight at the squad.
The screams went straight to the eardrums and into the brain, similar to a kind of sonic attack, However, Han Dong's 'Dr. Bird Beak Costume' was able to greatly counteract the sound waves, and only needed to hit the spirit to remain unaffected.
The spirits that were laid directly in front of him tried to drill into the flesh and cause damage from within.
Who knows, Han Dong and Chen Li didn't have time to make a move.
The Joker tugged on his gloves and easily grabbed a handful of the disembodied spirits as they rushed in front of him.
It didn't give these spirits a chance to struggle at all.
Opening their mouths.
"Yummy! It has the taste of a durian sandwich candy."
The Joker that had swallowed several terrifying spirits alive still looked unsatisfied, constantly licking his fingers, as if he hadn't had enough.
When he finished watching this scene, Han Dong immediately understood one thing.
"No wonder, the Destiny System has repeatedly reminded us to never clash with the Joker until we've gathered enough information about him.
Actually, even if we obtain enough ultimate intelligence, even if we understand the Joker's abilities, when a real combat conflict breaks out, the chances of our four-member team winning are not too high.
However, some advanced intelligence might give the Joker's 'weakness'.
As soon as we think of settling things here, we'll have to return to New Derry Town and use the clues we've gathered to reopen the war with the Joker! It just feels creepy."
Han Dong stared at the bizarre corpses that covered the passageway.
At that moment, Chen Li with a ponytail quietly transmitted to Han Dong through the 'master-servant relationship'.
"Mr. Han Dong, did you use the strange creatures in the sewers to find a way to make this Joker?"
"The idea was there in the beginning.
Now it's not very well implemented, unlike the evil spirit in Sinister. This Joker has a very high IQ.
Moreover, the Joker possesses all sorts of strange abilities, only a smaller portion of which has been revealed so far.
In this kind of [Middle Layer] that even I can't figure out, if the plan fails, it will end worse than death."
"Then, "Chen Li didn't know what to do.
"Continue working with the Joker and don't make any abnormal moves.
If I think of any confident plans, I'll naturally inform you,"
"Okay, it's just that I don't really like the nerves."
"Try to get used to it."
Han Dong doesn't respond too much.
Actually, he didn't consider the Joker to be a 'nut case'.
Nut case could not reverse-insight the rules of the game as a game NPC, or even change some of the rules of the Destiny event to some extent.
In Han Dong's seriousness, the boss, [Joker], was definitely a unique and special existence among the various Destiny Events.
Han Dong had vented a large part of his hatred for the Joker by outwitting the opponent and destroying almost the entire left half of his body, due to the cooperative relationship and the strong assistance provided by the Joker along the way.
Han Dong's attitude towards the Joker had a definite shift.
Since all the little things that came out of the tunnel were left to the Joker to deal with.
Han Dong would follow behind and just use the metal syringe to secretly extract the cell essence from the corpses, on average, 3~5 monster corpses would get a little cell essence.
There was a great feeling of following a full level big brother to beat-up low-level monsters and then just delivering the last blow.
Even if each corpse only provided a small amount of cell essence, Han Dong would still earn, As the number of corpses accumulated, Han Dong would be able to have enough "Loaded Value" to expand his prison.
A violent mechanical roar came from the back side of the iron door.
It wasn't simple to open this pressure-driven, heavy iron door, and it was impossible to reach by human power.
"I'll try to see if I can decipher this kind of combination lock."
Honestly, if Coslin was here, he would definitely be able to decipher the code in a short amount of time, Han Dong, a researcher in biology, was a bit difficult to get started with such a metal device.
Just as Han Dong was planning to use the [Eye] to peek into the internal structure of the keyhole.
The Joker standing in front of the metal door swung his sledgehammer violently.
A shudder ran through the walls.
The steel door was knocked out with a crack that could fit just into one hand.
Such a crack wasn't enough to destroy the steel door, multiple heavy hammer blows might have broken it open, but the Joker chose a more brutal approach.
Dropping the sledgehammer.
The Joker even warmed up in front of the broken iron door.
"Stretching exercises! 1, 2, 3, 4,2, 2, 3, 4!"
The Joker snaps his palm into the crack of the iron door and pulls the door body left and right horizontally with pure brute force.
Click~click~click! (metallic compression sound)
The multi-layered reinforced iron gate was actually pulled open with an opening that allowed one person to pass through.
"This, "Han Dong was shocked, "How could we counter this!?"
All sorts of weird abilities were just fine.
How to counter with this body of brute strength, the most powerful of the squad, Cass, couldn't reach such an exaggerated level even if he was subjected to power gains, right?
Tearing through three layers of metal doors with your bare hands.
Once the human body was caught by the Joker, it was hardly different from tearing paper.
Han Dong was stunned and immediately followed along into the [Main Exercise Space].
Upon seeing the scene inside, Han Dong's face was not too good.
Giant piston type metal devices were operating on both sides.
The energy supplying the operation of the device was not the usual electrical energy, nor was it steam driven.
Rather, it was the twelve glass containers set up in the [Main Operation Space].
Inside the containers filled with liquid was a 'human' wearing a breathing mask!
They are connected to a variety of small ducts, the other end of which collects at the bottom of the container and is connected to devices on both sides of the room by energy converters.
There were also a number of conduits connected to hidden areas.
"Human power generation device? Something doesn't seem right,"
And that's when the Weird Squad set foot here.
All the 'humans' in the glass containers suddenly opened their eyes and stared at the three with blood-attached eyes, staring at them.
A sense of danger swept over Han Dong's entire body.
These 'humans' were rapidly mutating.
A gray blood vessel stood out on the surface of their skin, and different physical signs were slowly showing up, the danger factor was getting stronger and stronger.
Han Dong was busy scanning these guys with his [Eye]! Discovery problem.
The massive piston mechanism on either side of the room was a powerful, powerful generator! Through energy converters, energy is continuously fed into these 'people'.
At the same time, the conduits connecting their vital parts (brain, heart, core muscle tissue) seemed to be delivering special aberrations to them as well.
Is this a 'bio-modification lab'?"
