My Cell Prison
Chapter 912 - Chapter 912 Chapter 911 Changes

Chapter 912: Chapter 911: Changes Chapter 912: Chapter 911: Changes “Given that the quality of the contestants this time is superior to the past,

the Think Tank has decided to increase the official participant limit from [one hundred] to [one hundred and twenty].

Additionally, specific [privileges] will be granted to the top five scorers in the ‘individual test’.”

“Top five?!”

Han Dong was startled, as he had just ranked sixth.

Luckily, Maritzis ranked first… Just as expected, those who ranked higher indeed received certain preferential treatment.

As participants who did not meet the criteria left, Han Dong immediately turned his attention to the remaining 120 people… Whether looking at their scores or demeanor, it was still hard to tell if the “Fifth Team” was among them.

“Having limited perception is really troublesome, I’ll have to eliminate them one by one in the upcoming promotion competition.”

His identity now exposed, Han Dong immediately changed his plan.

He connected his consciousness to “John’s Spine,” retracting the armor covering his entire body back between the vertebrae, revealing his original appearance.

While waving at his teammates, he also made sure to look in two other directions.

First, he waved to Tesla and others in the Particle Radiation Team… He then specifically looked at Miss Eva, who had been held hostage for a while and had some internal turmoil because of certain issues.

Feeling Han Dong’s gaze, Eva quickly hid behind Tesla, not daring to make eye contact.

Perhaps it was Han Dong’s strength that caused her to feel a psychological fear.

Or perhaps she dared not face a youth who shook her worldview, someone she couldn’t understand, someone who could befriend an Ancestor Return Demon despite looking like a regular human… Even now, Eva still couldn’t comprehend why a seemingly normal human could playfully interact with an Ancestor Return Demon, appearing quite friendly.

Of course, the Particle Radiation Team and others from the Alleles Team looked at Han Dong with a scrutinizing gaze towards ‘Demon,’ determined to obliterate Han Dong and his group.

…

Shortly, Han Dong looked toward the direction of the Dragon City Team.

Avoiding everyone else’s gaze, he only exchanged a smile with Gu Xu.

Although there were no words, expressions, or gestures, Han Dong clearly conveyed a sense of ‘friendliness.’

Whether Gu Xu accepted this friendliness was up to him.

…

On his own team’s side.

After more than ten days apart, all the members reunited.

The brand-new Slave equipment combined with the ordeal of starting from scratch led to significant changes in everyone, particularly noticeable in Abe and Mia.

Mia had become more mature and no longer wholly depended on spider traits.

Abe had grown stronger, exhibiting a transformation in his control over primal beastliness… It seemed that this suppression of abilities in turn liberated the Beast within Abe to a greater extent.

Even as the squad reunited.

Abe was still in a beast-like state, incessantly emitting a fierce aura.

Han Dong deliberately moved closer, trying to place his arm over Abe’s shoulder…

Who knew.

The corresponding part of the shoulder showed a bristling reaction, but as Han Dong’s palm gently landed, the fur quickly returned to its soft state.

It was also this close contact.

The Little Demon Eye, only able to exert a fraction of its power, faintly glimpsed a faint black beastly shadow enveloping Abe’s whole body.

At the same time, the blood flowing through the vessels under Abe’s skin belonged to the Dragon Clan.

The Giant Dragon and the Beast contended, keeping Abe coherent.

Otherwise, the Beast might devour the main consciousness and take over the body.

This situation left Han Dong in shock, ‘Strange… the suppression given by the City of Gods should be ‘comprehensive.’ Take me for example, whether it’s my brain or Fate abilities, everything was suppressed to the same level.

Abe should not be an exception either; the beast inside him should have been suppressed to within his range of control.

Why is there now an imbalance? What exactly is this beast that it cannot be fully restrained even in the current Fate Space?

Had it not been for the Dragon Bloodline mixed within Abe, he would likely have lost control already.

“Abe, can you control it?”

“I can…”

With that assurance, Han Dong felt relieved.

In comparison to their past ten-plus days in the City of Gods, both Abe and Mia could be said to have experienced years passing by each day.

They bore scars both deep and superficial on their bodies and had sustained no small amount of psychological trauma as well.

Dumps was different, however.

From the high-end white collared jacket he wore, one could tell his financial situation was quite good; this white jacket, appearing merely as clothing, was actually a piece of advanced equipment fused with the technology of the City of Gods.

Its price was something ordinary slaves could never afford, coming from an auction in the trading area, costing a total of 26,000ml of Black Water.

Besides that, Dumps also emitted a faint fragrance, seemingly one that had rubbed off from some woman.

Han Dong could already imagine the kind of ‘blissful life’ Dumps had been leading these days.

Comparing the two men.

Even if Han Dong’s ‘Qi Luck’ was good because of Anubis’s Death Attribute, gaining attention from the beast fight arena and the warden… he still couldn’t match the ‘highly skilled’ Dumps.

Through just a finger, he could access opportunities others couldn’t even touch.

“Dumps, it seems you’ve been doing quite well recently?”

“Pretty decent… I was bought by a wealthy slave owner right from the start as a slave.”

“Since things have started off so smoothly for you, don’t you think you could secretly help the rest of us?”

“Oh, such a start is also a kind of experience and I bet you think so too, Nicholas.

If I offered help… Abe and Miss Mia wouldn’t have undergone such significant changes as they have now.

Moreover, Nicholas, your life must be not too bad either, considering your ring and Vitality Armor seem very advanced, and you also have ‘beauty’ accompanying you.”

It was during this punch-for-punch jesting between Han Dong and Dumps.

Two slender arms embraced from behind.

“Mmm~ Nicholas… I’ve been looking for you these past few days, where did you go?”

“I’ve been working at the [Colosseum] in the Eastern City District, usually going to the wormhole to pick up trash, barely going out… these past few days have been tough.”

“Hmm…”

Mia just lay on Han Dong’s back, enjoying the long-awaited moment of tranquility.

Her nerves, tense for over ten days, finally completely relaxed at that moment.

…

The organizers of the Black Pyramid gave the participants a half-hour break.

They then announced the rules for the “promotional competition.”

“The promotional competition, created by the first ‘Original Pharaoh,’ is a special selection mechanism to filter quality humans capable of harnessing ‘God’s Water,’ aiming to elevate the overall standard of the City of Gods.

The competition’s initial purpose lies in [selection], with no strict limit on the number of participants.

As long as you meet the preset promotional criteria, you all will become ‘White Slaves’ recognized by the Pharaoh.

This time, the competition designed by the Pharaoh’s leading Think Tank, themed [escape]… you will all be transported to the ‘Imhotep Treatment Zone’ of the Black Pyramid in a completely unconscious state.

The competition permits you to form squads no larger than five, to escape together.”
