Chapter 670: Chapter 670: Exclusive Plot
“Exclusive Plot (Mayor): [Investigate the Monastery] has been triggered.”
Note: Exclusive plots are assigned under special conditions (that meet personnel, time, and hidden criteria) by a key NPC.
Exclusive plots are different from side plots.
The plot will delve into the essence of ‘True Fate’, providing crucial clues.
Summary: The Monastery has recently been frequently applying for live resources from the town hall, and strange howls can often be heard at night.
The investigation team from the town hall visited the monastery for a week-long investigation a month ago. No personnel were harmed, but no irregularities were found.
The abnormality index also remains within the normal stable range.
Requirement: Hold the Derry Town Pass Card, enter and stay in the Monastery for more than three days, record what you see and hear during the three days in detail, and bring the record back to the Mayor.
Reward: A job (job quality related to the content of the notes brought back).

“This universal pass (three days) allows you to enter any private place in Derry Town, and you will enjoy unconditional legal protection.
However, if someone from the Monastery asks about the source of your pass, don’t mention the town hall or me. Doing so would make them suspicious and harder to catch out.”
“Understood.”
“Remember, during your thorough investigation, you will naturally find what you’re looking for…no matter if Togu has already left Derry Town, he is still one of my residents.”
“Thank you, Mayor.”
“By the way, it would be best to take your teammates with you… otherwise, you alone may not be able to hide Togu, the people in the Monastery could go mad if they detect Togu.”
When Han Dong left the office, he returned directly to the entrance of the Dark Passage.
Recalling the silhouette of the Mayor, Han Dong felt he had seen it somewhere before.
“Strange… technically, I should never have met him. Even if the Mayor was promoted from the little world, that was decades or even hundreds of years ago.
I certainly didn’t see him in the Fate Space.”
“Where’s this familiar feeling coming from… Never mind, right now it’s the matter of the Monastery.
Since the Mayor has entrusted me to investigate, he must have some suspicions but no concrete proof.
The System also gave a hint about exclusive plot, so it’s pretty certain that there’s a big problem with the Monastery, and it might even be related to the clown.”
Just as Han Dong was passing through the lobby of the town hall.
A hand suddenly blocked his way.
La la la~♪
Accompanied by singing, countless broken arms suddenly fell from the ceiling, accumulating in front of Han Dong.
An extremely horrifying woman’s head emerged from the pile of arms…while she had the same facial features as a human, there was always something off.
If considering the “Uncanny Valley Effect”, the secretary cannot be counted as a human, but as an eerie creature that resembles a human by about 90%.
A slightly enlarged mouth, slightly forked big eyes, and a small nose…the combination made people shudder.
“What did the Mayor want with you?”
Because Han Dong came out unscathed after seeing the Mayor, the secretary seemed a bit displeased…even somewhat ‘jealous’
“Something about the Monastery.”
Upon mentioning the word “Monastery”, the secretary suddenly stretched out seven slender arms covering her mouth, letting out an eerie laughter, making way for Han Dong.
“Oh…hahaha~ off you go! The nuns in the Monastery will receive you well.”
As Han Dong departed, the secretary hummed a cheerful tune all the way.
“This woman…seems to wish me dead.”
After leaving the town hall,
Han Dong followed the Mayor’s advice and called back the teammate who was originally assigned to investigate the residents’ committee to go to the Monastery together.
A conclusion can be drawn from the Mayor’s words.
If Togu’s existence is exposed to the Monastery, a massacre that disregards the town’s law will ensue.
Just as Han Dong was explaining the details of the exclusive plot to his teammates, Diana suddenly provided a piece of information.
“Monastery? I think I just saw something about the Monastery in the files I saw about the ‘Disaster’… the Monastery seemed to have suffered from a major disaster named ‘Demon Locusts’ several years ago.”
“Hmm? Tell us more.”
Diana could only quickly skim through the information and couldn’t remember much.
She immediately rushed back to the residents’ committee at the fastest speed, copied the information and gave it to Han Dong…it’s more appropriate to call it a piece of an old newspaper rather than a document.
The reported content contained some keywords (mostly names) that were deliberately crossed out.
“The Monastery’s poor management led to the rampant havoc of the Demon Locusts, resulting in a large number of lower-ranking nuns dying.
Nun ■■■ thereby gave birth to a rare purebred demon, which due to its severe anti-social personality, led to the death of eight town residents.
The secretary eventually stepped in to send the purebred demon back to Hell.
The [Ten Demons] all subsequently purified and rebuilt the Monastery. Half a year later, the Monastery resumed normal operation.”@@novelbin@@
“Demon locusts…”
After getting the information, Han Dong and his two teammates immediately head to the Monastery. After all, the Mayor only gave them [three days] for the investigation. If they didn’t find any useful information, this exclusive mission would be wasted.
More importantly, it would leave Togu with no chance of recovery.
The closer they got to the edge of the town, the fewer houses there were.
A road sign stood by the exit of the town center, clearly marked – [Monastery, 300m Ahead]
At this moment, there was some movement in the litter box by the road.
A homeless man holding a bottle of liquor and covered in foul-smelling linen cloth rummaged out of the bin, blocking Han Dong and his teammates’ path… a lot of rat wives fell to the ground as the homeless man walked.
“Are you going to the Monastery? Squeak squeak squeak~~”
The homeless man spoke in a varying high and low tone.
“Yes.”
“Be careful… the things inside can be quite troublesome. If you die, I’ll clean up for you.”
“Thank you.”
With that, the man’s body disintegrated into thousands of rat wives, returning to the bin…upon closer inspection, one could see a circular ‘Rat Wives Mark’ at the back of the bin.
“Nicholas… was that homeless man just now?” Cass asked in a low voice.
“Yeah, I suspect he’s the security guard arranged by the Mayor or the secretary to monitor the special residents of the Monastery at the town exit… he’s very strong.”
As the three of them left the main area of Derry Town, they traveled for 300 meters in the outskirts.
The road ahead was completely blocked, turning into a bottomless abyss (similar to a scene in the movie ‘Silent Hill’).
The towering, thin Gothic-style monastery was built on the edge of the cliff…about one-third of it was hanging over the edge.
What do you think?
