In the early hours of the morning, Elizabeth finally reached satisfaction.
[Ding! Acquired Belial's Conquest Treasure Chest! Open it?]
"Oh, my child, you've pleased me greatly!"
At this moment, Elizabeth was sitting cross-legged on a massive throne, looking refreshed and with a post-coital cigarette dangling from her lips.
The woman's appearance had undergone a huge transformation. Last night, she got so excited while tutoring Roy in biology that she revealed her true demon form.
She stood over three meters tall, with huge pointed horns on her head and a bewitchingly beautiful face.
The most terrifying thing was Elizabeth's... assets. They were bigger than Roy's head, and several times he felt like he was about to be suffocated by them.
Compared to Elizabeth's state, Roy was looking rather miserable.
He had heavy dark circles under his eyes, his legs were constantly trembling, and he had to support his lower back just to stand up straight.
"Teacher Elizabeth, can you tell me now?"
"Of course! Come here for a moment."
Roy gritted his teeth and shuffled over to Elizabeth. She reached out and placed her hand on his lower abdomen. A warm current flowed from her palm into his body.
In an instant, the fatigue and soreness in his muscles were relieved. Although it wasn't enough to bring Roy back to his peak condition, he at least didn't feel like a squeezed-out rag anymore.
"That's a little reward for your performance earlier!"
Elizabeth exhaled a puff of smoke and then began to formally answer Roy's question from last night.
"That thing is called Pennywise. It's a special life form from outer space."
"Pennywise? From outer space?"
Roy looked at Elizabeth in astonishment. Hearing this from the mouth of a Hell Lord was truly bizarre, like meeting Einstein and him suddenly starting to tell you about his all-powerful master, Cthulhu.
"Little Roy, you don't actually believe that aliens don't exist, do you?"
"It's not that. It's just a bit strange to hear such a sci-fi statement coming from you."
Elizabeth smiled and lifted her foot to rub against Roy's calf.
"Times are different now. Whether it's Hell or Heaven, we have to keep up with the times, otherwise we'll be left behind."
Roy was speechless. He hadn't expected demons and angels to be so competitive.
"So, how can we get rid of Pennywise?"
"As far as I know, Pennywise is immortal. It feeds on fear and lives by fear. However, if you can make Pennywise feel fear, you might be able to kill it."
Roy recalled the movie plot, and it seemed that was indeed the case.
The protagonists overcame their own fears, and the clown's power began to wane, eventually leading to its demise at the hands of the group.
Hmm, with his memory attribute getting higher and higher, Roy's recollection of movie plots was becoming clearer.
Some of the more memorable moments even played back in his mind like watching a film.
Roy then asked his last question.
"How do I find Pennywise?"
"That guy likes dark and damp places, and he likes to target children when it's raining."
Rainy days, huh?
Roy looked out the window. It was currently raining heavily in Waterfall Town. This seemed to foreshadow something.
"Thank you, Teacher Elizabeth. Then I'll take my leave."
With that, Roy prepared to make a run for it, because Elizabeth's foot was rising higher and higher, almost touching his vital region.
If he didn't run, Roy felt like he would be devoured alive.
"Leaving so soon? Stay a little longer! Teacher thinks your physiology knowledge needs some serious reinforcement!"
Roy was originally just walking quickly, but upon hearing this, he bolted, afraid of being left behind if he was too slow.
Fortunately, Elizabeth was just joking with Roy. He escaped all the way back to his car, and she didn't try to stop him.
"Hmph! One day, I'm going to make that woman scream 'Daddy'!"
Just as he finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang, startling Roy.
Roy looked around, feeling a bit guilty, afraid that Elizabeth might suddenly pop out from somewhere and demand a rematch.
Luckily, it was all just Roy's imagination.
He picked up his phone, and the screen showed Jennifer's number.
"Hey, Jennifer, I was just about to come pick you up."
"Roy, something happened! Needy, Needy is gone!"
"What did you say? When did this happen?"
Jennifer's voice on the other end of the phone had a trembling sob in it.
"I just got a call from Rebecca. I don't know when it happened..."
"Jennifer, don't panic! Are you at home? I'll come find you right now!"
After hanging up the phone, Roy immediately started his car and drove to Needy's house, then picked up Jennifer and headed to the town's hospital.
Observing the hallway outside the ward, Arthur was holding Rebecca, comforting her.

"Arthur, Rebecca, what happened last night? Why is Needy missing?"
"It's all my fault! I fell asleep while keeping watch last night. When I woke up, Needy was gone!"
Rebecca covered her face and crouched on the ground, emotionally collapsing.
Roy looked at Arthur.
"Arthur, have you checked the hospital's surveillance footage?"
Arthur shook his head.
"I checked, but Needy isn't visible on the surveillance video. It's like she vanished into thin air."
Jennifer looked at Arthur in disbelief.
"Uncle Arthur, how can someone just disappear?"
As she spoke, Jennifer suddenly remembered something and pulled Roy aside.
"Roy, I had a very strange dream last night!"
Jennifer told Roy in detail what happened in her dream, and this instantly made Roy understand what had occurred.
"It seems Pennywise took Needy!"
"Pennywise? You mean that red-haired clown?"
Roy nodded.
"Jennifer, what you saw probably wasn't a dream, but something that actually happened. Do you remember when it happened?"
"About half an hour ago."
"Then there should still be time! Let's go!"
Roy immediately pulled Jennifer back to the Chevrolet Camaro.
"Roy, where are we going to look for Needy?"
"Someone told me that Pennywise likes to hide in dark and damp places! I suspect that guy took Needy into the sewers!"
In the movie, the clown was indeed in the sewers, but the sewer systems in Europe and America are quite complex, and searching directly would be a waste of time.
"Jennifer, I need your help! You possess some kind of special power, a power that can help us find Needy, just like you saw last night!"
Hearing this, Jennifer was stunned for a moment.
"The power within me?"
Roy placed his hands on Jennifer's shoulders and looked her earnestly in the eyes.
"Yes, that power. We need it. Needy is waiting for us!"
Jennifer was momentarily dazed, clutching the necklace around her neck, the friendship necklace that Needy had given her.
"I understand!"
