Chapter 347: All Set
[Malicious Neutrality]
The fundamental reason that such an entity can exist in Paradise and is not taken to the lighthouse for forced treatment is that it is too powerful.
Han Dong has prepared a private proposal very beneficial to her.
He promises that after capturing the lighthouse, he will not only grant this female head arger territory but also regrly supply her with various foods.
However, the probability of finalizing the agreement is still less than thirty percent in Han Dong’s view.
But then,
Before the negotiations, a dramatic change urred… The ‘seed’ that Han Dong identally sowed earlier unexpectedly bore fruit.
Who would have thought that the [Red Umbre], encountered in the peripheral area, was linked to the gloomy head here, in a ‘mother-son’ rtionship.
When he stepped into the familiar alley, the sense of danger was still present.
However, because Han Dong was holding a red umbre… whatever was hidden at the deepest end of the alley did not emit hostility.
Thus, Han Dong was able to make his way to the deeper part of the alley ‘safely’.<div>
Besides, Han Dong was curious about how such a massive head, that could nearly upy the entire street, was bound to this alley.
“Mom! I brought a friend home.”
At the deepest end of the alley, there wasn’t the giant head he had expected to see.
Instead, there was a woman in a long ck skirt standing there, back against the wall.
Creak, creak, creak…
Her head on her neck turned 180°, staring at the iing ‘guest’
Due to her ‘eating’ habits, the woman’s mouth suddenly opened wide as if she wanted to swallow Han Dong in one bite.
Through her dark mouth, one could vaguely see inside of it filled with clustered heads and arms… giving off a sense of inner space.
“A space-based ability? No wonder…”
Because her daughter was here, the woman quickly curbed her desire to eat, and those empty, dull eyes stared at Han Dong.
“[Contact with [Strange Tales-Head Woman]], ssified as [S], ranked at number 5 on the ‘Paradise S Level Strange Tales List’, handle with care.”
Faction: Neutral
Killing [Head Woman] can earn a reward of 100 Strange Tales Points.
The rted Strange Tales incident-[The deepest…The deepest ce], [Wanted: The Devourer in Paradise] is involved.”
“Killing Head Woman and handing over her corpse to either [Lighthouse] or [Horror Strange Tales] faction will enhance their favorability towards you and yield arge amount of bounty.”
“Just after the Waste Recycling Station’s collector, ranked fifth…However, overall, it is slightly lower than the Collector, belonging to S Level.”
Han Dong slightly bowed his head and passed the special proposal in his hand.
When this [Head Woman] reached out, a series of ‘coiling’ arms were extended from her sleeve.
She grabbed the n in Han Dong’s hand, did not read it… but swallowed it directly in one bite.<div>
“Okay, my mom has epted your document! I will have a good talk with my mom about you… you should leave now! Sometimes her mood is unpredictable, even I can’t control it.”
Having said that,
The red umbre left Han Dong, slowly spinning in the rain, just floating to ‘mom’s’ hand.
“Thank you.”<div>
As Han Dong thanked and turned to leave the alley, his clothes werepletely soaked with sweat.
He always felt countless arms were floating behind him… ready to drag him into a massive mouth at any moment.
Although weaker than [Collector] in terms of power, the level of danger emitted by this [Head Woman] is not weak at all… even scarier than the Lamp Man.
After leaving the alley, Han Dong immediately gave a ‘OK’ sign to Abe who was lurking on the other side of the street.
At this point, all the leaflets were distributed.
24 hours had just passed.
ording to the time agreed with the “Keymaker”, Han Dong returned to the Lock Tower on time.
However…
Click!
When Han Dong opened the right door with the right key,
He thought the Keymaker had healed and was waiting for him inside.
Who knew, the main key room was in a mess. Metal fragments were flying all over the ce, therge gears were all destroyed.
A headless dwarf’s body was twisted and burned severely, discarded on the ground.<div>
“All this still couldn’t fool the [Lamp Man]… or is it that all entities rted to us, regardless of the reason, will be killed… Is it a tyranny?”
Just as Han Dong was frowning and preparing to leave,
He unexpectedly detected something.
He reached out and picked up the note wedged between the broken gears.
“Bring my body to the Bone Key Room, meet me!”
When the two of them once again came to the Bone Key Room on the top floor, they could faintly hear the sounds of bone processing inside.
When the door was pushed open,
The “Keymaker’s” head was seen soaking in a ss column.
A spare mechanical body was being used to make the ‘Final Key’, which seemed somewhat different from the key Han Dong had requested.
“Insolent…abominable! The Lamp Man dared to try to kill me… Luckily, I had long separated my head and body into two distinct entities.
Moreover, he destroyed all the vital equipment of my main key room, causing the foundation I had built over a hundred years to be destroyed overnight.
I want revenge!
Hurry up and bring my body!”<div>
The Keymaker was totally enraged.
When Han Dong handed over the distorted flesh body of the Keymaker, he directly took the spine and added it to the manufacturing process… In a short while, a key with a metal-ted surface and made of biological material waspleted.
“This key incorporates my rage. It not only meets your requirements but also adds other effects… As long as the ‘traction’ method you use works, it will definitely keep other unrted individuals locked outside.”
“Thank you.”
As Han Dong took the key, his hand was grabbed by the Keymaker.
“Promise me… you must kill that arrogant and pompous jerk!”
“Hmm.”
With the key tucked into his pocket, all the preparations werepletely done.
…
After returning to the store for a short rest, the final battle of the “Strange Tales” officially began.
Han Dong chose to challenge the [Lighthouse] of over five-star difficulty, toplete the high-level main story and get the corresponding node for the current area, sess or failure depended on whether the following n could be implemented sessfully.
“Granny Origin… I’m counting on you.”
“Hmm.”<div>
What Han Dong asked Granny Origin to do was to once again deplete nearly all her energy to construct a passageway leading directly to the high-level experimental area of the lighthouse.
To meet up with the clown who had already infiltrated the experimental area, thereby bypassing theplicated process of infiltrating the lighthouse.
When Granny Origin painted this door out of nothing, she immediately withered, because breaking through the Lighthouse’s barrier exhausted all her energy…
Mr. Aha brought an intor, inted the old woman while waving goodbye to Han Dong.
“Good luck to you guys!”
Before and after opening the door,
The tranquil and warm shop immediately turned into the high-level area of ??the lighthouse – the experimental area, filled with agonizing screams.
Arge number of Strange Tales were secured to the operating tables with straps, undergoing the ‘Cerebral White Matter Resection’ without any anesthetic.
At this time, a chief doctor was walking towards the equipment room where Han Dong and the others were.
