Seeing the look in Han Dong’s eyes when he made this decision was unusually firm.
Captain Abe communicated with the task recipient using a special ‘Eagle language’
“Aunt Bardot, this vice-captain is appointed by my grandfather himself…he is a student of the Crow Prophet.
I hope you can allow us to take this ‘Stone Well’ task, and also, please reserve two other simpler tasks for us.”
The unique Eagle language, coupled with the title of ‘Crow Prophet’
Impressed the lady.
Three-star tasks are the most challenging among all the basic tasks at the ‘Camp’.
Giving it to a new team to handle might indeed not be quite appropriate.
But…
“Crow Prophet?! Is he really accepting students now? (Eagle language)’”
Bardot stared at the youth in crow attire among the team, her face full of shock.
“Is Captain Kenny secretly protecting you?” Bardot verified once more.
“Yes.”
“Abe, you must be careful, there were some minor issues when our Knight Regiment handled this well before! Before you go down, please make sure to make comprehensive preparations. Try to determine the danger inside using external means before exploring further.
Don’t rush…the remaining two tasks will be reserved for you.”
“Thank you, Aunt Bardot.”
And so, Han Dong and others carried the task scroll [Hair in the Well] and headed to their destination.
The so-called sealed stone well is generally located at the intersection of the wheat field and the town.
It was in the center of an open space formed by three buildings at the town intersection.
Because of the bizarre problem with the stone well.
The alleys between the three buildings were also blocked, and the blockades of logs needed to be cleared in order to pass.
“So this is the stone well?”
It did not differ much from what they pictured.
The round well opening stacked with stone,
The wooden lifting water device,
However, the well opening is currently sealed off tightly with numerous different sized wooden boards, nailed down.
The number of wooden boards used is too large, and the old and new difference between the innermost and outermost boards clearly indicates that the well was sealed off multiple times.
The most bizarre thing is…
With the aid of the bright flames to carefully observe, Han Dong could see black hair mixed in between the cracks of the wooden boards.
With a group of people holding kerosene lamps gazing at a sealed-off stone well at night…
Over time, a surreal feeling gradually spread through the air.
Blacksmith Winry was very timid, she squeezed into the crowd, deliberately positioning herself between the captain and vice-captain, seeking the greatest sense of security.
However, when Winry leaned towards Han Dong, she felt that the vice-captain was a bit strange… beneath the bird beak mask, Han Dong’s eyes seemed a bit ‘lost’.
Switching perspectives.
Han Dong himself.
While seriously staring at the stone well, observing the weird black hair interspersed between the wooden boards,
The faint sound of creaking wood echoed.
The wooden boards sealing off the stone well were showing a large number of cracks from the bottom up, quickly splitting open layer by layer.
Crack!
Until all the wooden boards completely broke off and the stone well reestablished contact with the outside world, it seemed like something was about to come out from inside the well.
What could it be?
Black hair? A drowned woman? A ghost from the well? Or some terrifying aquatic plant life?
None of them…
What floated out from the well was…a red balloon.
A slowly rising balloon painted with a smiling face.
Along with the appearance of the balloon, a ‘familiar’ figure with white gloves, red hair, and a clown costume was revealed.
“Hahaha! Mr.Nicolas!
It’s a bit dangerous down there… Don’t die before you get to Old Derry Town! Otherwise, I’ll lose an interesting toy.
Be cautious, call your teammates to go down with you.”
“Deputy… Deputy Captain! Are you okay?”
Buzz!
A flash of thought.
The strange image in front of Han Dong disappeared, and the stone well in the center of the empty ground was still closed, with no signs of the wooden boards being damaged.
However, Han Dong felt a bit uncomfortable.
He bent slightly, reaching out to hold the Bird Beak Mask.
“My old ailment is acting up, I need to rest for a while… You guys can explore the situation around the well first, I’ll be fine after some me-time.”
“Nicholas, are you sure you’re okay?” asked Abe.
“Hmm… a minor issue, just wait for me.”
Han Dong held the mask with one hand and leaned against the wall with the other, temporarily leaving the well area through the alley.
Mia tried to quietly follow him, but was frightened off by a terrifying look that Han Dong suddenly threw her way.
Han Dong found a quiet, deserted area.
Whoosh!
Portable Prison.
The ability to control a skull outside the city seemed to be easier, and there was no obstacle for a series of processes such as storage and teleportation in space.
Han Dong rushed back to the sterile laboratory in the first place to check the “Clown’s Arm” placed on the inspection table.
The series of ‘hallucinations’ just now was incredibly realistic, and the first thing Han Dong suspected was this arm.
But… the arm that was tightly fixed on the inspection table, which had never shown any sign of activity, was still strapped down.
After inspection, this arm does not have autonomous consciousness and could not have affected Han Dong.
“Pennywise is indeed a tough cookie, but it won’t give me psychological trauma.
I’ll ask Togu, they two have a ‘rivalry’, he should know something.
I must investigate this. If such a situation arises during pivotal times, I will be in danger.”
The prison area.
Second cell.
Togu Gonzales, sitting against the wall, holds a Bible in his hands.
Continuously reading back and forth.
Han Dong briefly explained his experiences to Togu.
A kind of demon language that he could understand through their master-servant relationship was spoken from Togu:
“Pennywise… He’s the guy in the circus who knows best how to toy with people’s hearts.
What he excels at is not tricks, nor various strange combat abilities, but the ability to see through the weaknesses of human nature and mentality, eliminating them from within.
At times, I too am affected in similar ways.
That’s why, the moment the ‘Exit’ opened a gap, I rushed there at once, heading to where he was hiding without considering the costs, prepared to kill him once and for all.”
“You’re affected too? Do you have any countermeasures?”
“The best method is to kill this clown. Then, everything he has ‘placed’ in your psyche will dissipate… but we are currently unable to, and lack the ability to go to [Other].”
“Hmm, is there any special temporary method to resist the influence?”
“Apart from killing the clown, there’s no other way.
But from your description, the influence doesn’t seem to be that great.
Moreover, please pay attention to the clown’s warnings to you. It seems to me that Pennywise really wants you to come back and have a decisive battle with him… He doesn’t want you to die in the wilderness.”
“Can’t you remind me from within?”
“Just now… Miss Chen Li and I didn’t notice anything wrong with you at all.”
“Is that so? Pennywise… you’re pretty good.”
Knowing that this is a ruse of the clown’s, Han Dong returns to the town.
He reunites with the squad members who were exploring around the well.
