Chapter 661 - 661: Arrangement
Chapter 661: Chapter 661: Arrangement
When Han Dong woke up, it was early morning the next day.
He was sleeping in a pile of straw in a granary.
Even though his energy was fully replenished, the side effects from the serious injuries and energy consumption hadn’t fully faded away.
Even the most basic movements made him feel dizzy, and his hands were numb.
Cass had been watching over him the whole time, sleeping against the pile of straw.
“Hey! Cass.”
“Huh… you’re awake.”
Cass was also worn out. The search for the ores was strenuous, and when he first woke up, his eyes reflected a trace of fatigue.
“Where’s Diana?”
“She’s at the convenience store preparing some food. We all haven’t eaten for a day… Also, Diana used a small amount of her Demon power in the mine. She seems to need a large amount of calcium for replenishment.”
As he spoke, Cass helped the weak Han Dong to his feet.
“Demonized?”
“Yes… Your chosen teammates are reliable indeed.
Thanks to Diana, our search for the ores went smoothly.
It was when we were leaving the mine to go back to Derry Town to find you that we were stopped by Sam.
He told us to go back to the farm directly, saying he would bring you back himself.
Something big seems to have happened at the hospital. What happened? Did you get the brain?”
Han Dong took out the collective household page from his pocket.
“Hmm! It’s in hand! So, our next step is just to choose a resident from the Other Chapter who poses less difficulty and has attributes that we can counteract. If we defeat him, we can complete the “Basic Requirements”, right?”
“No… it’s already done. I’ve killed a resident from the Other Chapter.”
(Because his ‘killing contribution’ was more than 50%, the system judged that Han Dong killed Dean Richard)
“What!?”
Cass turned his handsome face towards Han Dong, who looked weak and feeble, leaning in closer from shock.
Killing a resident from the Other Chapter was supposed to be a group action.
It requires meticulous planning and arrangement… Cass wasn’t ready, and Han Dong had already taken care of it.
Unintentionally, he had grasped on to a familiar thigh once again.
“Yes, Dean Richard Powell of Derry Town Central Hospital is dead.
The “Basic Requirements” have been met.
Next, after our recovery is complete, we will officially begin investigating the clown.”
“Um… okay.”
Apart from nodding, Cass didn’t know what else to say.
On the whole, the difficulty of finding the ores was not too high, it was even less stressful than facing the Ultimate Human Demon in the beginning… But Han Dong had already solved all the challenging issues as soon as they found the ores.
“After eating later, I need some time alone.”
“Alright.”
When they arrived at the familiar convenience store.
Diana had already made a few large servings of food. She prepared a huge portion of bone soup and three buckets of milk for herself to replenish her calcium…
At present, Diana was leaning over the table with her entire body.
She looked somewhat weak, even her bones felt soft.
After talking about Dean Richard’s matter, Diana was left dumbfounded for a while
“Diana…”
“Hmm?” Diana, whose name had been softly called, looked up with wide eyes, the corner of her mouth smeared with milk.
“To what extent can your ‘Demonization’ power go?”
“Novice level, at most 10%…
If it exceeds this limit, there’s a risk of Pollution Degeneration, which can go up to 20%.
Because the Demon I used to perform Breaking the Breed is quite unique, Captain Curran advised me to use this power as sparingly as possible at this stage.”
“Right.”
Due to Han Dong’s frequent time spent in the library, he had some understanding of Demonization.
Generally speaking, newly Broken knights do not possess this advanced Demonization capacity. That Diana, personally trained by Captain Curran, was able to reach this extent was within expectations.
“The difficulty of the Other Chapter is terrifying. Don’t be fooled by the fact that I took out a resident on my own.
There was a lot of external assistance involved. One wrong step and I wouldn’t have been able to come back.
The upcoming investigation into the clown might touch upon the core of Derry Town.
It may even startle the mayor…You will definitely make use of your Demonization power, you should be prepared for it.”
“Okay…”
“We’ll take a rest today. Tomorrow I’ll come to discuss the Demon matters with you… Our progress with the current incident has far exceeded that of the Dragon City Team, so resting for two or three days should not be a problem.”
“Okay.”
Han Dong did not speculate about what else Diana might think.
He simply gave out the rest time and the related arrangements, and then left… Han Dong still had a very important matter in his mind.
Han Dong, who had left the supermarket, hailed a passing farm vehicle and headed for the church.
Next, Han Dong needs a completely quiet and undisturbed environment for a very important brain upgrade for the entire next day. He had a premonition that this upgrade might be a bit different from the others.
However, Han Dong happened to encounter a certain person at the entrance of the church, which made him a bit cold… he had not expected her to come as well.
“Miss Jane, why are you here?”
Frankly, even though the two of them had cooperated and exchanged deeply.
Han Dong was still somewhat afraid of Jane…
The reason Han Dong believed that she would help to get rid of all the clones of the dean in the hospital, was because he saw ‘ambition’ in her. He saw her desire to monopolize the hospital.
In the note left for Jane, he simply wrote – “I have a method that isn’t affected by the Void Mark, I hope Miss Jane can seize the opportunity, and destroy all the divine stones in the hospital.
There will be significant benefits for Miss Jane once Dean Richard passes away.”
At the same time, Han Dong also left a self-drawn Yellow Mark on the back of the note.
Even if Mark was just drawn with an ordinary ink pen, as long as the shape is similar, it will induce a ‘Resonance’.
When the female corpse felt the divine nature in the mark, she also recognized Han Dong’s resistance against the ‘Void Mark’, thus agreeing to assist him.
In front of the church, Han Dong gently held Jane’s cold hand.
Her tender voice went straight into Han Dong’s brain:
“I came to the farm with you because there are some things I want to tell you… Dean Richard’s death is like a giant stone thrown into a pond, the large ripples it causes will lead to major changes in Derry Town.”
“The changes have nothing much to do with me right… It was Miles who did the killing, not me.”
“It’s not as simple as who killed him, the mayor can see through many things. Dean Richard’s death is mostly related to you… the mayor will definitely be watching you.
However, I have something else to talk about today. It’s about your ‘body’.
Find a place with no people around, I have something private to tell you.
Get on…”
At present, Han Dong is still a newcomer in town. Naturally, he could not refuse the invitation of the inspector.
He sat down on the cart and slid into the completely enclosed and unoccupied church district with her to discuss the so-called private matter.
