Chapter 974: Chapter 973 Gathering of the Ten Devils (Part 2) Chapter 974: Chapter 973 Gathering of the Ten Devils (Part 2) The cold “Corpse Cart” slid out slowly from the depths of the hall.
Thanks to [Heart-eye].
Gu Xu could see countless vengeful spirits piled up together, pushing the cart, their souls seemingly bound to the Corpse Cart, unable to leave.
Only the female corpse lying on the cart could grant them the privilege to act.
The sight made Gu Xu frown too, as he had never encountered such a terrifying specter before.
“Miss Jane, it’s been a month since we’ve seen each other.”
Han Dong took the initiative to step forward, grabbed the handle, and established a ntal channel with Jane through the “Corpse Cart.”
Miss Jane’s concerned voice ca through, “…This one must be tougher than the clown, right? Otherwise, the mayor wouldn’t have dragged all of us here.”
“Yeah, but I still have confidence in winning.”
“Well, we’ll all help you… Hurry in, the mayor and the others are waiting for you.”
“Okay.”
Han Dong pushed Miss Jane along, gesturing with his eyes for the two behind him to quickly [follow up].
Under Gu Xu’s Heart-eye vision, as Han Dong took over the task of pushing the cart, the countless resentful spirits seed to sigh in relief, all cramming under the cart to rest during this break.
Han Dong’s mystique deepened yet another layer in Gu Xu’s heart.
“Ten Devils… The ten strongest monsters in this town, huh?”
Gu Xu started to beco curious about this strange town. As he headed toward the side door of the hall, his [Heart-eye] could see various kinds of “qi” slowly seeping out from under the door—so resembling white mist, others similar to phantoms…
“The real [value] of this town might even be higher than ‘Protheus’…”
The door was pushed open.
The interior was the clerk’s office, which would also serve as the temporary eting room for the Node War.
Sitting around an elongated oval desk in the office were the Ten Devils of Derry Town (reordered)… However, the NO.3 spot was vacant.
[NO.10] Moonlight-Michael Miles
[NO.9] Undying Demon-Jason Wohs
[NO.8] Weirdneck-Charlie Aubrey
[NO.7] The Lonely Scarecrow-Sam and its shell
[NO.6] Demon Spirit-Alessa Gillespie
[NO.5] Female Corpse-Jane Dole
[NO.4] Deranged Program-Funa Rivarde
[NO.3] Temporarily vacant
[NO.2] Void-Richard Powell
[NO.1] Mayor Slender-man (Thin Long Ghost Shadow)
Although Dumps and Gu Xu had braced themselves, the mont they pushed the door open and saw such a scene, their hearts tightened… and they instinctively took a half step back.
“So this is the mayor… No wonder Nicholas said it was impossible to take this node.”
Gu Xu’s Heart-eye could see through many things, but it could not penetrate the [Mayor] sitting in the main seat. Where the Heart-eye looked, there was only darkness.
“Nicholas, have your friends take their seats in the observers’ area… You co here.”
The mayor pointed to the vacant third place, which was reserved for Han Dong.
In the hearts of the townsfolk, the forr clown had not died but simply changed into soone else.
As for Han Dong himself.
Returning to Derry Town, the mont he stepped onto its soil, the number [3] appeared on his chest…
Indeed, Han Dong was both a shareholder and also the [Third Devil] of Derry Town.
“Congratulations, Dean Richard! How’s Sherry doing?”
The order of the Ten Devils had changed.
Dean Richard, who used to be [The Fifth Devil], had, after absorbing the Color of Young Stars, undergone a complete transformation of both soul and body… He had once aided Han Dong in directly confronting the clerk and narrowly erged superior.
Now, he had beco the [First Man] right below the mayor.
“Yes, Sherry is doing very well…”
Dean Richard had co to regard Han Dong as a benefactor and a confidant in tis of chaos.
When Han Dong’s call for help ca through, he didn’t wait for the mayor’s notification; he was the first to agree.
After greeting Dean Richard on his right, naturally, he also needed to say hello to the clerk on his left.
As Han Dong turned his head, the clerk was playing with her fingers and softly singing a tune, “La la la…”
The volu of her singing was controlled just enough that only the adjacent seats could hear it without disrupting the eting.
Just as Han Dong was about to ask a question, an extra mouth grew on the clerk’s cheek, matching the soft lody she was humming, and she whispered,
“There’s no need to greet . Since it’s an order from the mayor, I will certainly help… however many they bring, I’ll kill just as many.
After all, I do want to earn the mayor’s praise.
…(her tone suddenly beca more intense), I must kill more than Richard!”
“Haha… sure.”
Han Dong felt embarrassed and turned his attention back to the conference table.
Moonlight-Miles, sitting across from him, was staring at him, or rather, Miles’s gaze hadn’t left him since Han Dong arrived.
Through the white mask, it was as if he was saying, “Boss, long ti no see!”
As for the rest of the Ten Devils, Han Dong was only generally familiar with them and greeted them all with a simple smile.
Since it was a eting among the Ten Devils, Han Dong also allowed Togu, the forr eighth Devil, to co forth.
Now that Other Derry Town had arrived, Han Dong was going to give Togu the freedom to lead the sisters from the monastery in doing sothing significant.
He quickly transitioned to the main topic of the eting – “Node War.”
The mayor spoke directly, making his stance clear.
“The infrastructure of Other Derry Town is complete, but to promote it, we still lack the necessary overall strength and the Power of the World.
This battle is a good opportunity to train the townsfolk’s skills.
Let their potential explode in the war, achieving unexpected growth.
However,
As the mayor, I must ensure the safety of Other Derry Town. I won’t interfere much in this war.”
Although it was a pity the mayor couldn’t participate in the battle, the full arrival of Other Derry Town had surpassed Han Dong’s expectations.
Moreover, if any group of priests deliberately sought death by trying to “hit ho” during the war, they would face the dean’s wrath.
“Okay, we have about twenty minutes left. I’ll share the situation in the City of Gods through mory sharing, and then briefly explain my plan.”
Having said that,
A series of neural tentacles sprouted from Han Dong’s head, each connecting to the brains of the Ten Devils seated there, transmitting known information about the City of Gods to everyone present in the fastest way possible.
If this scene were fild and frad to hang on the wall at ho, it would guarantee no thefts for a thousand years and also serve as a powerful exorcism tool.
Upon receiving the information about the City of Gods, so of the Ten Devils already looked excited; after all, they deeply craved ‘execution’ from the heart.
Having obtained a detailed map and plans for the City of Gods, Dean Richard was already formulating a plan in his mind and took the initiative to suggest,
“Excluding the mayor, we are a perfect nine… since the Nine Pillar Gods company has special significance to the pyramid, let us nine carry so special assistants, add the forces at your disposal, and take down these nine companies via different routes.”
Dean Richard’s proposal was quite good and belonged to regular warfare.
But… Han Dong had a different idea.
“The forces I have are just for show; a frontal assault carries great risk.
After all, we are in soone else’s territory.
And moreover, we still don’t know how many true forces the City of Gods has.
To increase our chances of victory, we must leverage Other Derry Town’s unique traits.”
“What traits?” Dean Richard was puzzled.
“It’s the very purpose the mayor had for establishing the town: only to accept the elite of the elite, rejecting all that is ordinary… We need to fully exploit the trait of ‘few but fine.’
Since Other Derry Town is conveniently located in the [Civilian Area].
We, as law-abiding citizens, can easily disguise ourselves as slaves of the City of Gods, quickly infiltrating every corner of the city.
I want every dark corner of the City of Gods to be occupied by a citizen of Derry Town…”
