Chapter 635: Chapter 635: Ten Devils
“Nicholas…when did we get hit exactly?”
Despite being rescued, the horror of the motel incident lingered in the minds of the two teammates… Cass’s condition was slightly better.
Each person had a different experience in the motel.
Diana’s experience seemed even more horrific, with deeper and more layers of ‘traps,’ resulting in a certain amount of cognitive side effects even after waking up.
“Using the endless asphalt road to numb our nerves, lower our conscious defenses, then using the ‘Derry Town’ on the billboard to complete the final cognitive traction, exposing flaws in our consciousness.
With each step, sinking deeper into the mire.
The larger the personal flaws, the deeper the illusionary quagmire one falls into.”
Han Dong could see that Diana’s inner self had many flaws despite her strong combat power… it was already a good thing that she survived being hosted in the Holy City.
No one knows how much despair Diana underwent in her childhood, following her father across the Jiuzhou Continent through layers of Demon Land to reach the Holy City in Europe.
Diana sorted her messy hair with her fingers, trying her best not to show her fear, and whispered:
“I’m not very good at dealing with these mental types of monsters… Will we encounter more?”
“Very likely, the Female Corpse has set her eyes on me… If she does later, I’ll handle it myself as much as possible, and you guys can go do other things. Luckily, I’m very good at dealing with mental ones.”
Whether it’s Han Dong’s brain or his Laughter attribute, both can greatly resist mental disturbances.
When affected by a superior technique this time, the brain still created a ‘self’ in the illusion to give Han Dong hints, and Laughter could shake and even affect the other’s illusions to some extent.
“…I’ll do my best.” Diana bit her lip.
“Everyone, sleep in the car for a while, rest in turns…after we recover from mental exhaustion, we’ll slowly consider entering the town.”
Cass and Diana fell asleep in the car first.
Due to his unique brain structure and awakening in advance, Han Dong was not particularly tired… he leaned against the front of the car alone, pondering some fundamental issues.
In Han Dong’s hand, he was holding this rusty key.
If you look closely, you can find a few rough letters engraved on the side of the key—”V.O.I.D (Void)”
As the Hellfire appeared.
The figure of Togu, wearing a sleeveless black leather jacket with a sawblade embedded in his head, slowly appeared.
“Togu, you said earlier that Jane Dole was the [Prosecutor and Coroner] in Other Derry Town…is that right?”
“Hmm, from what I recall from my awakened memory, that is indeed the case.” Togu nodded slightly.
Han Dong continued to ask, “Is the [Derry Town Central Hospital], where we need to go, also directly related to the Female Corpse?”
Togu stretched out his hand to tug the sawblade embedded in his head, trying to awaken more memories…sequestered memories need to come in contact with corresponding Other Residents or specific scenes to open up a portion.
But in Togu’s memory, there indeed seem to be some memories related to the Female Corpse and the hospital.
Through the pain stimulus of the sawblade, Togu slowly remembered some things about the hospital.
“The hospital does have a certain connection with the Female Corpse, but not a direct one.”
“Could you elaborate?”
“The Female Corpse, Jane, as a coroner, only seems to be involved in the handling of some bodies in the hospital morgue.
The real manager of the hospital is another entity, a very troublesome one.
One of the [Ten Devils].”
The term [Ten Devils] is also one of the important words that Togu just thought of after awakening his brain with the ‘sawblade’, specifically referring to the top ten individuals in the overall Derry Town ranking.
The committee director, Sam, who gives Han Dong and his party the main plot, is also one of the Ten Devils, known to rank seventh.
The Female Corpse, Jane Dole, who creates deep illusions, is also one of the Ten Devils, but her rank is unknown.
The Derry Town Central Hospital that everyone needs to go to also has a similar Ten Devils.
In the Other Chapter, all the [Ten Devils] are extremely deadly… When confronting such existences, if one is not careful, the entire team will be annihilated, as can be seen from the motel incident.
“So, are you saying that the Central Hospital corresponding to the main plot may have two [Ten Devils] at the same time? No wonder that straw child doesn’t want to go to the hospital himself, turns out there’s such a risk.
The difficulty of True Fate is also too high…”
Han Dong looked a bit helpless.
“Master, I will assist you with all my might… Also, I suggest you continue to use Miles as much as possible.”
“Hmm… I’ve already cancelled his Spring Festival holiday; he’ll be working on time these days.”
The Ultimate Human Demon – Miles plotline was handled well and is now officially in use.
Aside from his brain not being very useful, Miles’s strength should barely enable him to fight the [Ten Devils].
Looking sideways at Cass and Diana, who were sleeping in the car, Han Dong’s main plan was slowly taking shape in his mind.
…
Night fell.
‘Moonlight Miles’ also arrived.
However, this terrifying Ultimate Human Demon only stood in the moonlight, his dark eyes under the face mask fixed on the three people sleeping in the car, with no intention of making a move…
This scene looked more like he was keeping watch for the three of them.
The reason is simple.
The game of hunter and prey, in Miles’s principle, does not allow a ‘third party’ intervention.
The Female Corpse, Jane, who severely affects the game, must be executed before the game can continue…
The next morning.
After Han Dong waved goodbye to the bodyguards,
The fully rejuvenated group officially drove towards the ‘Derry Town’ marked on the map…without any more circular routes that looped back to the original path.
After driving along the asphalt road for exactly two hours, an [Empty City] slowly came into sight.
Things weren’t as ‘survival of the fittest’ or ‘demons run amok’ as they had imagined.
The ‘Derry Town’ they were about to enter was covered in a layer of white fog, giving off a sense of quiet and peace…however, looking at the buildings on the street, Han Dong felt a strange sense of familiarity; they were basically the same as in the previous chapter.
Seeing an Empty City like this, Han Dong mumbled, “My guess was right…this is only the [Derry Town] marked on the map, not the true Other Derry Town; I don’t know how to explain it exactly.
In any case, when we get our residence certificate, we should be able to glimpse the true image of the Other Derry Town.”
As the vehicle officially drove into the small town, a prompt came:
“You have entered an important area – [Derry Town]. Due to the influence of a special substance, individual attribute indices will be presented in the form of a ‘Character Card.’ Please check your character card as soon as possible.”
