My Cell Prison
Chapter 923 - Chapter 923 Chapter 922 Unsealing

Chapter 923: Chapter 922: Unsealing Chapter 923: Chapter 922: Unsealing Imitating Han Dong’s method, his teammates also committed suicide one after another.

They succeeded in transferring their consciousness back to their main bodies.

Since they didn’t carry a “Token,” the teammates didn’t wake up in time.

Beneath their corresponding flesh-like capsules, a slide formed, delivering them into the competition settlement area inside the Black Pyramid where they received the competition rewards and an upgrade in their status.

That’s right.

The entire promotion competition was conducted through “consciousness transfer.”

All contestants fell into a coma within the [Preparation Zone], where the head judge responsible for this competition used Facehuggers to ‘connect’ them to his world of terror, creating Terror Source Monsters on each floor that could evoke their most primal fears based on parts of his own body.

It was completely unexpected that, in the space of fear he created, an external slave would resist fear and directly execute a monster representing ‘Fingers’ – one of the Terror Source Monsters.

“[Anubis]’s Death Attribute was crucial, otherwise the Execution wouldn’t have been possible.

Of course, what’s more important is that your willpower is higher than any other slave I’ve seen. I’m very curious, why did you think to counter-attack the Terror Source?”

I had already implanted the notion of [fleeing] into your subconscious before the competition began.

Apart from you, other teams basically followed the fleeing instinct, never contemplating attacking the Terror Source Monsters.”

Han Dong was very clear about why.

Thanks to the support of ‘Mad Laugh’ and the special characteristics of his head, external subconscious thoughts were challenging to implant… In fact, Han Dong had been considering from the start of the competition whether the Terror Source Monsters could be killed; he just didn’t dare to gamble with the outcome of the competition or his teammates’ lives.

It wasn’t until a pressing contact with the skull, verifying the monster could be injured, that Han Dong firmly decided to counter-attack.

“Because of that contact, I deduced the monster could be hurt… Intuition told me, the monster could be killed.”

“Intuition, huh? What an interesting foreigner you are… It seems your brain structure may also be different from ours.

According to the rules here, because of your performance, exceeding the preset standard of the competition, you’re now offered a job under my command.

As you become a ‘Probationary Priest’ along with your slave promotion,

the organization that trained you will also receive a ‘Superior Slave Training Commission’ that will satisfy them greatly.”

Would you like that?”

“I would.”

“Very well… Go undergo the ceremony for slave promotion first, and come see me in the Black Pyramid tomorrow.”

With that said, a flesh-like passageway formed beneath him capable of transporting Han Dong’s body, immediately sending him to the pyramid’s settlement area.

“Main storyline (Phase One): [The Great Escape of Imhotep] has been completed.”

You have been promoted to ‘White Slave’ – the ability restrictions will be adjusted from [5%] to [20%], and Fate Equipment remains unusable. Please continue using the Slave Equipment you acquired in the City of Gods.”

As the System provided the prompt, the black shackles worn by Han Dong and the others loosened slightly, and power continuously flowed into their bodies.

The greatest change naturally belonged to Miss Maritzis, who was originally an Ancestor Body… [20%] liberation returned her to the strength she had initially as a Demon, as a watery domain began to form around her.

“It seems Fate Space intends for us to fully adapt to the Slave Equipment from Prometheus, offering us a ‘second life’ through this method of equipment restrictions and gradual unsealing of growth… Indeed, I made the right choice.”

Now, Han Dong was able to fully control the bone ring by himself.

The restrictions of the G-virus were relaxed, causing a surge in his various regeneration abilities… Most importantly, the Tentacle system was fully activated, now capable of constructing comparatively rudimentary ‘Bloodhounds’.

Because of the extreme initial repression, the Count within him had been sleeping; now, he suddenly woke up.

“Woof woof!”

A primary Bloodhound, no bigger than an arm, formed, and due to the limitation of the vocal system, the Count’s thoughts were expressed in dog language.

The slightly embarrassed Count immediately switched to telepathic communication.

“Nicholas, what’s going on? Where is this place? Why are my powers so severely limited? And what about the White Slave you just mentioned, you’re actually willing to become one, that’s so pathetic?”

The Count, upon awakening, launched into a flurry of complaints.

Normally, Han Dong, as the main consciousness, would surely have ‘muted’ the Count.

However, Han Dong was in a particularly good mood now, having come into contact with the inner layers of the Black Pyramid… In the process that followed, he would also extensively rely on the Count’s strength.

After Han Dong had meticulously explained their current situation to the Count,

the Count’s focus immediately strayed. He didn’t care about the City of Gods or the situation with the Black Pyramid but was concerned with Miss Maritzis’s attitude.

“What? This female Toad is actually so obedient… She actually follows you around the entire City of Gods, lives with you? And she offers healing support? Impossible… She is, after all, an Ancestor Body.”

“Such beings, who have glimpsed the Truth behind the gates, naturally look down upon lower-ranking human knights by their very nature.

“I can assert without a doubt that this female Toad must be pretending, feigning support for you, and the moment danger arises, she will send you to your death! If I am not mistaken, she certainly wouldn’t be willing to bring out the ‘Toad Pearl’ to provide healing.”

“Oh? The ‘Toad Pearl’? Tastes quite good… As my second source of energy, it actually works pretty well.”

“What?”

The Count was merely spouting nonsense; he was well aware of the importance of the Toad Pearl to Toad Demons, tantamount to life itself… It was absolutely impossible to part with it.

As they reached this point in the conversation, Han Dong gently patted Miss Maritzis’s shoulder.

“Miss Mary, shall we return to the beast fight arena and report to the warden?”

“Yes.”

When responding, Miss Maritzis deliberately brushed aside the curls obstructing her vision and, after licking away the droplets that had spilled onto her face, nodded in a friendly manner… Though her eyes still held quite a bit of pride, it had significantly diminished compared to when they first met.

“What… did you do?” The Count, with his understanding of Demons, could not grasp the situation at hand.

“Just establishing relationships, that’s all.

“Now, back to business… Count, how much power can you muster right now?”

“Very weak, about the same as when I first became a ‘Newborn’.”

“That’s sufficient.”

Han Dong shifted his focus back to his teammates, who were gradually adapting to the unsealing of their abilities.

“Everyone, return to your respective organizations and try to climb to higher positions from within, using your identity as ‘White Slaves’… Once I reach a certain height within the Black Pyramid, I’ll call everyone together to act.

“Take this Fate event as a second life and hone yourselves.

“I hope we can catch up with the first phase of the Epic battle of the Expeditionary Army when we return…”

“Mmm… How do we contact you?” Mia was still somewhat reluctant to part, as it had not been easy to find Han Dong.

“Don’t worry, I’ll use my identity within the Black Pyramid to secretly establish contact.”

By the time Han Dong had finished speaking, Dumps had already made his way to the exit of the Black Pyramid, seemingly impatient to return and enjoy his luxurious life.
