Chapter 332: The Strongest Strange Tales
The feeling changed.
When Han Dong and hispanions bypassed the Regtory Office, which housed various Horror Strange Tales, and descended the spiral stairs to the very bottom, their overall sensation hadpletely altered.
A prominent Evil Qi was added to the air.
Standing within the dark corridor at the deepest point, every member of the group felt goosebumps without exception.
Han Dong even had a feeling that the “lighthouse” patrols within the Regtory Office might not reach this lowest level.
In a blink of an eye, Han Dong saw heavy red oil madly spilling out from between the bricks, even forming numerous hideous and screaming faces.
He shook his head, and everything was back to normal.
ck, ck, ck!
Duo Zeya’s senses were extremely sharp.
The moment it detected danger, it refused to stay with Winry any longer and immediately turned into a crow, perching on Han Dong’s shoulder.
“Leader… Leader! Should we merge?”<div>
“Not for now.”
“Then can I… hide inside your clothes?”
“Go ahead.”
Duo Zeya immediately crawled into Han Dong’s Bird Beak Doctor’s Robe from the cor, protruding only its crow’s head to monitor the external situation, ready to fuse with Han Dong at any moment.
“Let’s go!”
With each step they took in the corridor, their mentality slightly shifted.
Due to the heavy Evil Qi filling the path, it directly affected every lifeform present, generating various illusions and auditory hallucinations.
Like seeing red liquid flowing out,
Or witnessing tormented faces emerging from the ground,
Or hearing various intertwined screams of pain,
“Just how many lives were taken… to umte such concentrated Evil Qi? Moreover, the gate isn’t even open yet.”
Every now and then, the team would pause to clear the hallucinations from their minds… After crossing the darkest corridor, they finally arrived at a unique biological door.
The door was reinforced with precisely six metal partitions.
Between the partitions was a kind of “flesh” of “regenerative” and highly tenacious properties to form a binding.
There was also a protectiveyer of rib-like structures reinforcing the exterior.
The essence of the biological door lies in a power heart located within the partitionyers.
The driving force of the heart rendered this biological door indestructible.
Even if oneyer of metal partitions was forcibly breached, the internal flesh would instantly reassemble the core and add tumor tissues to deeply protect the fracture.
To open this door, there was only one way.<div>
Insert the matching bone key into the central lock… The key must not only match the lock but also achieve bloodpatibility.
“Step Two: [Open the Gate]”
Event Requirement: Unlock the secret door of the Regtory Office ande into contact with the Strange Tales within.
Depending on the contact situation with the Strange Tales, the system will issue the requirement for the third step.<div>
The key box opened.
The important item “Blood Key” was taken out.
The key perfectly fit the lock… When inserted, every tooth urately matched and precisely fell into the internal slots.
The way to unlock the door was slightly different.
First, they had to squeeze the mini-heart at the end of the key, allowing the blood to flow along the capiries on the surface of the bone joint, into each tooth.
To pair the blood with the heart, and thus dispel the embedded Blood Formation.
Then, slowly turn the key.
Every 15° turn would hit an important node, and a clear click sound would be heard. They needed to slightly squeeze the heart before continuing to rotate.
While Han Dong was opening the door,
Abe was fully focused on the situation behind them. If he noticed any lighthouses approaching, he would immediately rush to kill them.
Slowly, upon a full 360° turn,
The heart at the end of the key waspletely drained, no longer able to perform its function of opening the door…ck!
The organic gate that had been sealed for nearly a hundred years was fully unlocked.<div>
The exhausted “Blood Key” was transformed into a door handle, making it easier for Han Dong and others to pull the door open.
“So heavy…”
Even when Winry tried to grab the doorknob, she couldn’t move the door body the first time.
As the muscles in her arm gradually bulged, the entire door seemed to be pulled slightly… Dust fell from the door beam, giving the feeling that the whole Regtory Office was trembling faintly during the process of opening the door.
What mattered more was…
An indescribable evil Qipletely overflowed.
Everyone had a feeling of being near a mountain of corpses, with a faint sense that this cell was filled with countless corpses…
At the top of the mountain of corpses sat the strongest Strange Tale of this Fate event, waiting for fresh prey toe to its door.
Winry, who was in charge of opening the door, was also affected by the evil Qi, shaking her head from time to time, and the uneven exertion of force made the door opening process extremely slow.
It took ten minutes to fully open the door.
An outpouring of warm yellow light.
The imagined mountain of corpses did not exist, and the size of the infirmary was like amon one.
Clean bedding was ced on the iron bed,<div>
The cement floor was cleaned very thoroughly,
There was even a separate bathroom,
A normally illuminating fmentmp hung from the ceiling.
“What…”
When Han Dong and the others stared at the scene in front of them, they werepletely dumbfounded.
Under the tungstenmp…
A tattered white vest,
Patterned beach pants,
Rubber flip-flops,
The “Trinity” old man was sitting on a rocking chair, reading today’s Strange Tales newspaper, learning about the interesting things that happened in the amusement park that day.
The newspaper moved aside.
Mr. Aha, wearing reading sses, looked at the group and scratched his bald head with a bony finger.
“Aha! You guys did pretty well…you arrived so quickly.”<div>
At the same time, the system prompt came:
“Contact with [Strange Tale-Mr. Aha] established, Level [S+], ranked 1st on the ‘Amusement Park S Level Strange Tales Ranking Board’, please handle carefully.
Killing Mr. Aha will reward 200 Strange Tales Points.
Simultaneously, you can obtain the title ‘Conqueror of Strange Tales’. You can leave the amusement park and end this Fate event by handing the skull of Mr. Aha to the manager of the amusement park.”
“I had to save myself…I see.
Mr. Aha, you used your replicas to open stores in various areas of the amusement park, conducting transactions with Strange Tales Points, for the purpose of finding someone with enough strength to go to the Regtory Office at the base of the lighthouse and rescue your true self.”
Mr. Aha curiously asked, “How did you guess it earlier?”
“The amusement park is full of Strange Tales, and since you, Mr. Aha are a member here, you must also be a Strange Tale.
Managing and operating stores throughout the amusement park implies that you have the ability to create replicas of yourself.
Since the system did not provide any Strange Tale contact prompt when we met,
it implied that we did not meet your true self.
You gave us the expensive “Demon de – Phantom Ghost” at such a low price and tested our abilities in various ways, and you found the ‘Keymaker’ to make this door key two years in advance.
It led me to guess that the one you wanted us to rescue here is yourself.”
“Aha! I see now.
However, the real problemes next.
Are you ready to undertake my finalmission?”
