Chapter 634: Chapter 634: City Entry Inspection
Moonlight Miles makes his appearance.
Han Dong, immovable on the operating table, finds Miles’ presence incredibly welcoming, deciding to give him a raise afterward.
“Miles… how dare you!”
The female corpse should have been the sovereign of the Illusionary Area, but with the falling moonlight, Miles has seized some of the control.
There’s no time for any defensive or evasive maneuvers.
“Triple Blade Strike-Execution”
The Evil Qi forms a guillotine.
In front of Han Dong’s eyes, Miles forcibly executes the female corpse… of course, it’s merely an illusion, an existence that cannot be killed so easily.
The illusion is dispelled!
Bubbles rose to the surface… Ah!
Han Dong abruptly sat upright in a vat filled with clear water.
Above his head was the tap of the bath.
Scrawled across the inner surface of the tub were dense Nordic glyphs,
In the water floated a large amount of black hair possessing an ‘Erosion Feature’, continuously crawling into Han Dong’s body, even attempting to etch the corresponding glyphs under his skin.
It was the true culprit that immobilized him.
The ‘Neural Traction Source’ that produces real illusions has been shredded by Miles.
At this moment, the Ultimate Human Demon standing next to the bathtub, towering over two meters tall, does not show any hostility towards Han Dong… seemingly satisfied with this ‘cooperation’.
“Thank you (in Demon Language).”
“The main body… is not here. You… in Derry Town, must kill her!”
“Definitely.”
Taking steps with his giant fifty-metre shoes, Miles departs the sealed room, disappearing into the night.
Han Dong rated Miles’ bodyguard action 80 out of 100, as he wasn’t quite satisfied with some details.
“This guy didn’t even handle any of the aftermath… These hairs, burrowing into my body and attempting to inscribe Witchcraft Glyphs, have sealed all my Magic Circuits. I can neither Sandify nor move.”
“Togu!”
As Han Dong called out,
Lava-like patterns appeared on his skin.
The sizzle of Hellfire immediately evaporated all the clear water in the tub, melting the black hair.
The reason Han Dong did not seek Togu’s help in the illusion was that he was afraid that the aura of Togu, the original resident, would alert the female corpse.
“Master… you managed to remain self-aware, rapidly awaken from the deep illusion world created by Jane, you are so powerful.”
“Oh? Is this female corpse very powerful?”
“She is the prosecutor and forensic doctor of Derry Town… She is on the same level as Sam, the Scarecrow, whom you’ve met.”
“As expected, another ruler.”
Even though all the black hair was burnt to ashes,
Han Dong still felt drained, having some difficulty walking. He urgently needed rest… The mental pressure from the Illusionary Space is enormous.
Moreover, the situation in the sealed room needed to be explained.
Han Dong’s deduction was somewhat biased… The so-called ‘illusion’ and ‘reality’ of the dissection happening simultaneously was merely a scare tactic from the female corpse.
The female corpse seemed to have sensed danger early on, or maybe she had just perceived this encounter as a welcoming reception… her main body has been out of here for quite a while now.
The reality of the sealed room was nothing more than a dilapidated and damp Basement.
A total of seven white bathtubs were arranged… Every member from the Holy City Team and Dragon City Team was placed in a different tub.
The ‘Neural Traction Source’ that Miles destroyed belonged to a weird collection of brain tissue.
Every tub contained such a brain.
From the brain’s surface sprang numerous overgrown tubules, steadily infiltrating the subjects’ brain, creating a ‘guided’, ‘nested’ kind of real illusion…
The glyphs on the inner side of the tub would channel the black hair into the subject when they fell into a deep illusion, the hair would then inscribe ancient Witchcraft Glyphs under their skin, on the surface of their bones, and organs.
Slowly transforming the subject into a perfect living human fit for a special sacrificial ritual.
While Han Dong kept destroying the ‘Neural Traction Sources’,
Buzz!
The sword that Huo Ziping always carried gave off a golden glow.
It flew out of its sheath on its own, cutting through the ‘Neural Traction Source’. At the same time, using Qi to repel the black hair infiltrating his body.
With a slap of his hand.
Huo Ziping sprang up abruptly from the tub, securely grasping the Dragon Pattern Sword.
Despite his pale face, Huo Ziping was completely alert at this moment. Any anomaly would be executed by him and him only.
“Huo, the Illusion maker has left…It seems she had foreseen our ability to break out of the illusion.
I reckon that her test is meant for our entry into Derry Town.
Of course, if we had died during the test, we would have been made into her sacrifices.”
Huo Ziping was silent, but an extreme sense of blood-lust rose in his heart… Once he set foot in Derry Town, he would definitely kill that female corpse.
“Huo, let’s work together! The glyphs in their bodies must be completely removed.”
As each comrade began to thoroughly wake up from the illusion,
Ma Taotao from the Dragon City Team, after self-repair, instantly began healing everyone with her special techniques. By utilizing silver needles, she removed the aftermath of the Witchcraft from everyone’s body.
However, injury is injury.
Weakness and fatigue were only recoverable through rest.
When everyone stepped out of the humid sealed room,
They found out that the sealed room was only in an abandoned building by the roadside.
Both team’s vehicles were parked by the roadside, completely intact.
On each vehicle’s windshield was a temporary pass… The background of the pass was the same one they saw on the billboard in the Illusionary Space – a logging forest.
The same words were printed on the top of the pass – Welcome to Derry Town.
“A test for entry into town, huh? The difficulty sure was high… Huo, you guys go ahead. We’ll follow.”
Han Dong noticed that Diana from his team still had a strong aversion towards the Dragon City Team… saying goodbye to Huo Ziping in this way, letting them go first.
“Okay.”
Since the risk of entering the town has been eliminated, and there are clear main goals, Han Dong was not in a hurry at all.
However, there was another reason Han Dong was eager to part ways with Huo Ziping and his team.
Other than receiving a temporary pass, Han Dong also received a gift, the “Reward for the First to Decipher”… It was a small beautifully wrapped gift box placed in the passenger seat’s storage slot.
The resident, Jane Dole’s gift was received:
Item: ‘Rusty Copper Piece Key’
Explanation: Seems to be able to open a hidden door in Derry Town.
Related Explanation: Jane Dole will meticulously observe the ‘corpses’ she takes interest in. The reward she gives may not always be something good, but it will always be related to the ‘corpse’s’ attribute, so please be careful when using it.
