My Cell Prison - Chapter 93:
Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Stable Start
Translator: 549690339
All members of the squad saw the ‘Red Balloon’ at the start, but no other strange events occurred afterwards.
The appearance of the red balloon only proved one point.
The moment the four of them entered the scene, the clown had already ‘fixed his gaze’ on them.
Additionally, Cass put forward a preliminary action plan:
“Now that we’ve been assigned our identities by the Fate Space,
In the early stages, we should act normal in school based on our student identities, using our spare time to discuss and explore… After all, this only high school in Derry Town might hold some crucial clues.
After school, we can begin to explore the town and investigate, ensuring no suspicious information is left unchecked.”
The school bell rang, signaling the start of the first class.
While maintaining a ‘stable start,’ each member of the team had their own thoughts.
Cass actively participated in class. His handsome appearance and extensive knowledge quickly drew the ‘extra attention’ of the English teacher.
Why Cass did so was because, in his ‘memories’, this English teacher seemed to harbor ulterior motives towards him.
With this opportunity, he planned to develop a deeper relationship with this teacher, thus gaining some privileges in the school and uncovering some confidential information unknown to the students.
As for Koslin, he was doodling architectural drawings in his notebook…
planning to gather materials in the town to make some auxiliary combat tools early in the event.
Sophia, seemingly with no tasks at hand, directly laid her head on the desk for a good sleep to recharge.
As for Han Dong, he was holding paper and a pen, trying to recall the movie he had watched before and jotting down the entire plot of ‘Clown Revival 1’…
The morning zipped by quickly.
The lunch area.
The four of them were just preparing to eat their packed lunches together.
Throughout, Han Dong didn’t speak much, nor did he share the movie plot he remembered with the others.
One, it could seem abruptly inappropriate. Speaking about it could possibly reveal Han Dong’s background. Even if he covers it with ‘Astrology’, it would be hard to deceive smart individuals like Koslin and Cass.
Two, Han Dong couldn’t be sure whether the movie he had watched was actually identical to the event.
In the previous ‘Being Possessed’ rookie event, although it to some extent coincided with the original movie,
However, for this event, the corresponding movie title explicitly brought up two words[Other] leading to another[Chapter]… but Han Dong had only watched one movie.
He had no clue what ‘Other Chapter’ and ‘Chapter’ meant.
Therefore, in the early stages of the event, Han Dong believed the investigation should base on subjectivity, rather than relying on the original movie.
If as the investigation deepens, it turns out that everything happening in Derry Town indeed aligns with the movie, he will then let everyone know about the plot.
If he were to give a detailed movie plot from the start and the event itself does not align with the movie… it could greatly mislead the entire team, making them step into a deadly trap.
On the dining table.
Fiya bit into a sandwich filled with fresh vegetables and couldn’t help but exclaim,
“It’s so delicious… I can hardly get such fresh ingredients in the Holy City.
If this event had no time limit,
Would we be able to live in this small town forever?
If we could eliminate the threat of the[Clown] , our lives here would certainly be better than in the Holy City.”
Although Fiya was joking,
Cass’s response was quite serious.
“Fiya, don’t let the memories you were forced to recall affect you.
It’s just the addition of fourteen years of experiences that make you feel good about this place.
We are knights of the Holy City; we are the beacon of hope for human freedom, so we can’t have thoughts like that.”
Facing the stern admonition from Cass, or rather ‘the blame from the one she loved’,
Sophia lowered her head, her eyes reddening, almost crying.
Just as Cass realized he had been harsh and was going to console her,
“Wait!”
A sudden interjection from Han Dong startled everyone.
It seemed as if an important realization clicked in his mind due to their conversation.
“Right! No time limit… they wouldn’t simply let us live in this town forever so easily.
There must be some restriction preventing us from living in this town for a long time.
I boldly guess, one of the restrictions in this event might be that[Pennywise the Clown]continuously becomes stronger over time.
It could be due to self-enhancement, or through other means of strengthening.
In any case, the longer we delay, the stronger it becomes, making it harder to confront, and we will eventually fall into a deadly predicament.”
“Makes sense.” Koslin, sitting opposite to him, nodded in agreement.
‘Limitation’ is the key to clearing a fate event successfully. The sooner one can guess what the ‘limitation’ is, the higher the survival rate of the team will be.
Without much commentary, Cass immediately jotted down Han Dong’s guess about the ‘limitation’ in his personal notebook.
“Whenever any of you think of or discover any information related to the ‘limitation’ , report it to me immediately.”
Right after, Cass shared his action plan.
“This afternoon, I’ll try to ‘get closer’ to the English teacher to get some information from the school… After all, the briefing has mentioned, there are multiple side-lines and hidden events in Derry Town.
If we could get to the main theme through a side-line event, that would be the best.
You guys carry on with the classes as usual, I’ll update you promptly if I discover something.”
Cass deliberately tapped on the magical clockwork device on his wrist.
In the afternoon.
Cass obtained a leave of absence slip due to his ‘special relationship’ with the English teacher.
Fiya, as usual, did not feel jealous about this… she just reminded Cass to be careful.
[Integrated Office (3)]
“Mr. Cass, please remember to close the door after you enter.”
Following the sweet and sultry female voice, Cass entered the office.
It was currently class time, and coincidentally, besides the English teacher[Rodney Sherry], all the other teachers had gone to class. That meant, for a class period, the two of them wouldn’t be disturbed by
anyone.
The newly-turned-thirty English teacher was rather decent-looking and well-proportioned.
She, dressed in an office lady’s suit, deliberately hooked her finger at Cass while placing her black stocking-clad long legs on the office desk… there was an urgent look in her eyes.
“Quickly come over here, let the teacher give you ‘private tutoring’… time waits for no man, and there aren’t many opportunities like this.”
Cass gave a natural smile and slowly walked over.
During this time, Cass scanned the office and noticed several ‘strange’ details.
The humidity inside the office was noticeably higher than outside.
There were multiple faucets and sinks installed beyond the normal requirement for a standard office.
There were also many puddles remaining on the floor.
Moreover, on each teacher’s desk, there was a large-capacity water cup.
Water… something was off..
