My Cell Prison

Chapter 683: Chapter 683: Work
 

Gazing at Togu, who emerged again from Hell with the status of a resident and was granted the authority to manage the monastery.

The clerk wore expression of dissatisfaction and ferocity on her face.

She was reasonably disgruntled that such failures, enslaved by outsiders, could regain resident status and continue to assume the roles of the Eighth Demon and the head of the monastery.

Meanwhile, Han Dong’s Little Demon Eye was also locating the main body of the arm in preparation for a final battle with the clerk.

The scene shifted from “four against one” to “six against one”, the tension was high, nearing another conflict.

Everything in the passage darkened, including the lava flowing in the passage which became dim and lightless.

Seeing this situation, the clerk immediately responded by retracting all the arms scattered in the passage back into her body, and respectfully lowered her head.

Despite being cornered by six burly men, she had no intent to fight.

All because the man she revered and admired had arrived.

Simultaneously, the four murderous human demons immediately suppressed their rage, respectfully bowing their heads.

“Mr. Mayor.”

The sound of hard leather shoes tapping on the ground echoed in the passage. A man, with only a black silhouette and completely devoid of light, was slowly approaching.

“Funa, you can go back first… I asked Nicholas to investigate the monastery, and it seems he has found answers,” he said.

“Mr. Mayor, they have violated the regulations of Derry Town.”

“I will personally verify if they are infected with the virus, if not, then nothing is amiss… After all, it was I who brought them here, should we count violation of the regulations, then I should be included too.”

At his words, Funa’s face turned extremely gloomy, “…Mr. Mayor, I will leave first.”

“Hmm, once things are sorted, I will come and find you for a ‘private’ discussion.”

Upon hearing the word ‘private’, the low-spirited clerk instantly became excited. Beneath her skirt were the wriggling masses of soft arms, evidently she couldn’t contain the excitement within her.

“Alright… then I will leave first. La la la~♬”

The clerk left in a manner of swift translocation.

The translocation was carried out via the red meat palms growing from her feet, which were only the size of ants, carrying the clerk to move swiftly.

With the departure of the clerk, the pressure on everyone was also gone.

Indeed.

Even if Han Dong temporarily assigned the ‘Void’ attribute to the tentacles,

Even if Togu fully regained his strength, returning as the Eighth Demon,

Even if the strongest four human demons of Derry Town were on their side,

Under the situation of six versus one, the odds of victory were evenly split.

The arrival of the mayor was naturally the best scenario.

Or perhaps, the mayor knew about it all from the beginning and only appeared when the moment was ripe.

“Miles, isn’t your party today still unfinished? You should be able to make it back in time.”

The four human demons understood the mayor’s intention, supporting each other while leaving the monastery despite their wounds… Such a sight was rare.

The mayor’s gaze turned to the man who had just returned from Hell: “Togu, having regained your memory and restored your power, how does it feel to control the area again?”

Togu spins a Hell’s Rubik’s Cube in his hands, his recovered possession, and responds affirmatively, “I feel great… life in the monastery is ideal for me.”

The mayor queried further, “So, would you rather stay here, keep managing the monastery and continue to improve yourself, helping me to elevate Derry Town to a higher standard? Or, do you still wish to leave with this young man?

If you opt for the former, I have a way to sever the Master-Servant tie hidden in the ‘sandwich layer’.

Or replace you with another resident from Nicholas…I believe Nicholas would not force you to follow him.”

It’s a key question.

Supposedly, Togu, having regained his memory, holding great power within Derry Town, accompanied by an endless number of novitiates, and able to come and go from Hell Monastery as he pleases, would fall into deep contemplation.@@novelbin@@

However, Togu didn’t hesitate at all.

“Mr. Mayor, please permit me to continue following my master…”

For such a response, the mayor was not angry, yet revealed pleased admiration.

Loyalty was what the mayor initially valued highly in Togu.

“I respect your choice, but I have one condition… during this particular period of time, you must continue to manage the monastery. I won’t stand for any problems here, and you are not allowed to leave the monastery. As for Nicholas’s problem, let him solve it himself.”

“Yes…”

The mayor suddenly recalled something: “Right, Togu! Do you have any means to convince another monk to replace you?”

“Responding to Mr. Mayor… I have just enquired at Hell Monastery and Miss Harriet is interested in discussing the issue of ‘World Transfer’ with you, Mr. Mayor.

If the terms could satisfy her, she is willing to replace me as the warden of the monastery and assist you, Mr. Mayor.

Despite attaining Hell Raiser status after me, Miss Harriet is adept in creating more minions and is more suitable for the management of the monastery.”

“Very well.”

Once matters have been arranged,

The mayor gestured with his hand.

The Field of No Light immediately enveloped Han Dong… before he knew it, he had returned to the familiar office of the dean.

Han Dong delivered his report of the monastery investigation to the desk.

At the same time, he conveyed information about the whereabouts of the Clown’s body and Han Dong’s personal thoughts.

“I hope the mayor can trust me… I can eliminate the threat of the Clown for Derry Town, to prevent disaster from recurring.”

It seemed the mayor already had an answer in mind, “Hmm, I am giving both sides a chance, but… if either fails to handle things well, I will take back the opportunity.

A group of young people seem quite capable.”

Han Dong clearly knew that the “group of young people” referred to by the mayor was the Dragon City Team. They had gained the mayor’s favor by defeating the Clown in the first chapter, besides, the main plot that Huo Ziping and his team had completed right from the beginning was associated with the town hall.

The mayor handed over a special medal.

“Starting now, you are a detective specially appointed by the town hall to investigate the case of ‘Clown-Pennywise’. You are not subject to the restrictions and can make direct contact with the parts of the Clown.

However, I, the clerk, and the departments in charge of managing the Clown’s parts will evaluate your status and actions during this process.

If there is a breach beyond a certain ‘baseline’, your authority would be withdrawn.”

“Understood.”

“Also, the title of detective is exclusive to you and does not include your two companions… How to conduct the investigation is up to you to figure out.”

“Thank you, Mr. Mayor.”

“Exclusive Plot (Mayor): [Monastery Investigation] Complete.”

Investigation Degree: 95% (Excellent)

Reward: A job (As a detective specifically appointed by the town hall, you can access the Forbidden Area and have a higher probability of collecting key clues.)
