My Cell Prison

Chapter 621: Chapter 621: Black-hearted Workshop

Through the crow magic and the imitating ability, Han Dong had completely disguised himself as a crow… If he chose to participate in the crow imitation contest held in the Animal World, he would definitely win the first prize.

Yet, he was just an ordinary crow, a type of crow commonly seen in corn fields.

The moment Huo Ziping stepped into the church, he instantly pulled out his sword at a rapid speed.

Buzz!

The crow that was perched about ten meters away on the beam was instantly decapitated.

At that moment.

A scarecrow, appearing as a ‘Mother Superior,’ slowly walked out from behind the church.

Squeak-squeak~ While walking, it made a peculiar sound of mechanical friction and tensed flesh.

“You dare desecrate the holy sanctuary. I will enslave your soul and turn you into an eternal employee of the Tailor’s Church, creating ‘shells’ for the Lord.”

The mechanical beast charged directly at Huo Ziping like a wild beast.

From its mouth, it continuously spewed a stitching tongue reminiscent of tentacles,

With each step, machine oil seeped from its body.

Facing such a terrifying monster, Huo Ziping’s face showed no change. He simply placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword and walked towards the beast.

Sword Skill: Dragon Flash

Huo Ziping and the beast brushed past each other.

The movement of his hand on the sword hilt was neither too fast nor too slow, and the blade drawing process was completely imperceptible.

Machinery oil sprayed everywhere. The scarecrow-shaped mechanical robot resembling the Mother Superior had its ‘life line’ severed, transforming it into heaps of junk… Its head rolled right to the foot of Huo Ziping.

“A creation of consciousness control… the main body must still be hiding deep within.”

Huo Ziping’s sharp gaze quickly scanned the church.

He then promptly slashed the altar in front of him into pieces, revealing a passage leading deep underground.

Huo Ziping stepped forward without a moment’s hesitation, heading towards the Fiend’s lair.

Five minutes after Huo Ziping left.

The previously beheaded crow suddenly regained vitality… A multitude of tentacles sprouted from its head, reconnecting with its body to form a complete body again.

The slash that Huo Ziping had casually delivered upon entering the door was merely a physical execution, without any Sword Intent or murderous move.

“This is the squad that once faced and executed Pennywise head-on in the surface world… They are terrifyingly strong.

I thought that as a newly appointed knight, possessing an Epic weapon was extremely rare.

Yet, here I encounter another, and he wields a primary weapon that suits him best too.”

Even after his beheading, Han Dong continued to observe meticulously.

He was certain that the sword at Huo Ziping’s waist was also an Epic (Pink) quality item.

Compared to the Raven Staff, which enhances Black Magic and commands the Crowman army, this dragon-patterned sword seemed even more focused on killing… Moreover, it could work in tandem with the swordsman’s own technique, unleashing even more terrifying power.

“In our squad, probably only Diana could face this man in a direct battle if she uses her full power… But the odds of winning are less than 30%.

Furthermore, their team has also arrived at the farm at this time, which somewhat indicates that they have an excellent scout within their ranks.

Fortunately, with this man attracting the attention of the ‘Mother Superior,’ it will be more convenient for me to uncover the secrets inside the church.”

Since Huo Ziping was focused on his killing intent and was charging directly towards his opponent’s lair with his sword, Han Dong was able to freely stroll around the church and enter the room where the punk youth was being lured.

Click-clack-click-clack~

In the enclosed room, the sound of sewing could be heard continuously.

The punk youth seeking salvation in the church was sitting in front of a sewing machine.

He used iron nails to fix his five fingers on the sewing machine.

He was forcibly sewing straw into his own body with the sewing machine, self-creating a scarecrow.

His pupils were completely dilated, obviously under absolute mental control.

Waking him up would only make the youth feel even more despair from the endless pain… It was better to just let him continue like this.

Han Dong quietly watched as the youth sewed himself.

His skin was completely joined with the woven straw cloth, with many parts requiring replacement with steel plates. The joints were even reinforced with iron nails.

Finally, he put on a self-made straw mask, completing the creation.

At this moment, the sewing machine moved away by itself, revealing a secret passage… In comparison to the passage that Huo Ziping had entered, this seemed more like a staff passage of the church.

Only the villagers who had completed their self-sewing were allowed to enter and work for the Mother Superior.

“This is… an underground factory?

No wonder so many villagers disappeared. The Misato Farm, that was basically unattended, still grew over two meters high dense cornfield. So, this was the reason?”

Han Dong followed the youth down the staff passage and arrived at a massive underground workshop.

The size of the area was equivalent to the farm on the surface.

A large number of scarecrows were working here around the clock…

The underground workshop was less than fifty centimeters below the surface farmland, stabilized by numerous wooden frames.

The corn planted on the surface, its roots had also reached the lower end.

That was why the cornfield on the farm could grow lushly without farmers watering or fertilizing it.

Every corn stalk was directly connected to the ‘worker’s’ body.

They were fertilizing with human bodies.

This resulted in a higher quality of straw.

Every scarecrow worker had their own designated work area.

Each of them had to be connected to at least ten corn stalk root systems due to the curse, as this allowed nutrients in their bodies to be efficiently transported upwards, enabling rapid corn growth and a large amount of straw in a short period of time.

Then, a special straw sorter was used to collect straws of different qualities and hand them over to the Mother Superior.

“This situation seems quite similar to what’s happening in Bates College.

It seems that in every area where the residents of the other world are active, there is a self-built factory… If I’m not mistaken.”

The ultimate goal of these pitiful villagers is to cultivate perfect quality straw to provide the Mother Superior with materials for making the ‘shells’ required by the residents of the Other World.

Truly a robust manufacturing process.”

In addition,

Clang, clang, clang…

Han Dong could also hear the sound of sword blades cutting metal coming from below. Huo Ziping was battling in a deeper area, approaching the lair of the ‘Mother Superior.’

Seeing this,

Han Dong, now in the guise of a journalist, went to investigate the underground workshop more thoroughly.

Soon,

Han Dong discovered the Straw Storage Area in a large compartment in the depth of the workshop.

This was a special area where the villagers stored straws of different qualities.

‘Fine’ straw would be used to make mechanical scarecrows that functioned like murder machines to protect the farm.

‘Superior’ straw would be given to the Mother Superior for further processing, making ‘spare shells’ that could be used by the “Other Residents-Sam” in special situations.

‘Perfect’ straw was the best material for making ‘shells.’

“Huh? There seems to be a problem.”

As Han Dong was using his little demon eye to carefully examine the straw that had been sorted, he found a huge problem.

“Hidden Plot- [Black Heart Workshop] has been triggered…”
