Chapter 325: Chapter 325: The Newborn Clown
Feeling uncomfortable all over.
When Pennywise stepped out of the [Animals Room], he always pulled his tight, shapewear suit with red nail polished fingers, looked very unaccustomed, even his walk was a wobbly mess.
Actually, this kind of behavior was understandable.
Because the suit, leather shoes, and the clown’s large array of hair were made up of a ‘gum’… purchased with 50 Strange Tales Points to obtain mystical hair.
Although somewhat uncomfortable, the result was there.
This body unlocked 100% strength of the Clown’s Arm… and even granted additional abilities.
Han Dong staring at the clown’s brand new image, complimented:
“Pennywise, you look much better in this outfit.”
“You just decide all this without discussing with me!… However, this humble clown is generous, will not fuss over these small matters.”
During the clown’s speech, Han Dong made a move to place his palm on the back of his head… causing an immediate change in the clown’s tone and words.
[Coward]
This trait, Han Dong discovered it in the office building.
If the clown’s body knew that his right hand was so wimpy, it would probably be recycled in the meat grinder.
“Follow me to do something next… if you do well, we can agree on some of your ‘small requirements.’”
“Sure, I should help… I have to safely deliver you to [Old Derry Town] so that my main body can kill you with its own hands.”
Han Dong didn’t care about the clown’s talk at all and waved his hand away.
“You leave the ‘shop’ first, move around the nearby streets, get used to the atmosphere of the amusement park and your newly acquired body, do not make a mistake at a critical moment.”
The clown gave a thumbs-up, quickly leaving the shop.
Then, Han Dong turned his head to look at the corridor behind him, whispering: “Why are you following? I can handle tonight’s business alone, we’ll act together tomorrow.”
In the dim corridor, Mia slowly came out, her eyes mixed with some unique emotions, and her hands rubbing in front of her. She seemed eager to act with Han Dong.
“Can’t I accompany you? Winry is the most tired from the ‘Journey of the Abyss,’ but I’m fine.”
“Mr. Aha explicitly asked me to act alone.”
“Then… then you must be careful, don’t die…” Mia’s eyes were getting a bit moist when she gazed at Han Dong, who was going away alone.
However, Han Dong immediately added: “If you’re going to cry, not only should you shed tears, but you should also have the proper expression and the right facial expressions, not exaggerating like this… Your crying has the flavor of a nation’s downfall.”
Bullied by Han Dong, Mia immediately pouted.
“I am really worried about you, just wanted to show it through tears… you have to say it out loud, you’re horrible!”
“Don’t worry, I will be back before tomorrow morning.”
Han Dong waved his hand and walked away.
Mia’s face of sorrow suddenly changed into a sickly expression, her mouth revealing an almost perverted smile:
“Nicholas, you are the most interesting human I’ve ever seen… even daring to use the BOSS in Fate Space, in case something goes wrong, there’s no place to be buried.”
However, because of this, I really like you so much.”
All kinds of illusions formed in Mia’s mind, her spider legs emerging uncontrollably, rubbing with excitement.
When Han Dong returned to the street from the drain.
He unexpectedly found the clown was adapting to his brand new body in a particularly unique way.
In his hand, he held a bunch of colorful balloons, ‘kidnapped’ a child from the amusement park into a small alley… of course, there were no normal kids in the amusement park.
Just when the child was brought into the alley, a horrible big mouth like a parasitic body burst out from the child’s scalp, trying to bite off the clown’s head.
Who knew.
Eight locust-like legs sprang from the clown’s body, and an even larger mouth opened from his abdomen, fatally swallowing the stunned child.
Burp… (A large belch)
The long locust legs and the big belly’s mouth immediately retracted into the body.
Because the clown’s entire body was made of gum, even the clothes were not an exception… therefore, the ‘insect form’ could be easily transformed, even better than the main body.
This was the effect brought by that strand of ‘mystic hair.’
“Have you adapted?” asked Han Dong.
The clown picked his teeth and said: “I am adapted… This is a pretty nice body, I think even my main body would be interested.
I remember the source of this black hair; I saw it before in a horror magazine in Derry Town, it seems to be called [Thin Long Ghost Shadow].”
“A creature in Old Derry Town?”
Han Dong was still very cautious, as a mere strand of detached hair had such terrifying aggression.
The clown kneaded the meat scraps picked out by the toothpick into a meatball, having his second meal, and answered at the same time:
“Yes… and no, at least I haven’t seen it with my own eyes.
However, according to the description in the magazine… it’s indeed a terrifying existence. I didn’t expect a strand of hair would be left here.”
“Yeah… we will talk about these matters later, let’s find the ‘Keymaker’ first.”
Han Dong looked at the mark on the map and moved quietly in the darkness.
“Hey…” The clown walking beside Han Dong nudged him with his elbow, “You surely don’t believe in that ‘Mr. Aha’s’ bullshit request?
What about the key can’t be found, or you need to go to the lighthouse to work… All of it is crap.”
Han Dong calmly answered: “Believe it or not, what’s the difference? Since we are on someone else’s turf, we must abide by their rules.
At least, my goal is to earn enough points and leave the amusement park. Mr. Aha can indeed help me with this.
The most important point is that the [Intimacy] between me and Mr. Aha is indeed improving, but with you, it has always been at a neutral status.”
The clown put his hands back on his neck and looked disdainful, “Tsk… what’s a Mr. Aha, my main body is a hundred times stronger than him.”
“I think you are scared… Earlier, you were very subdued when Mr. Aha had caught you.”
“Who am I afraid of!? I am Pennywise’s … right hand!”
“If I could contain Mr. Aha… Even the clown’s main body dwelling in [Old Derry Town] might feel danger, eh?”
The corner of the clown’s mouth twitched. At least from the perspective of his hand, Mr. Aha was indeed not easy to deal with.
Not to mention that he had instantly recognized the clown’s triple attributes, and then restrained the clown completely with simple gloves… During the time when Mr. Aha caught him, the clown’s arm felt as if it could die completely at any moment.
“Whatever… my main body will definitely get the ‘Town Mayor Mark.’ You guys will only have one way to die by then.”
In this way, the two chatted all the way and finally came to the location of the ‘Keymaker’ marked on the map.
