Chapter 645: Chapter 645: Shrine
Dean Richard is conducting an experiment in the Void Otherworld.
For Han Dong, this might be good news.
Because of Sherry’s involvement.
Han Dong took the elevator directly to the fourth floor, only one floor away from the dean’s office, and he noticed some issues.
Each floor of the hospital clearly has a hierarchy.
The first floor is the lowest, the fifth floor is the top level… To go up a floor, one needs to insert a finger into the authentication hole in the elevator (actually it’s inserting a tentacle in it for level verification).
Because of her special status, Sherry can go to different floors freely.
The layout of the fourth floor is completely different from the first floor’s open management style, where patients can be seen everywhere.
Blobs of tumor that shimmer like stardust formed this floor, constructed through squeezing and stacking.
In the open circular hall, there are in total “thirteen” rooms.
And each of the corresponding doors bears grotesque marks, symbolizing the ‘special patients’ imprisoned within.
One of the rooms with a cat head mark apparently corresponds to Mr. Kuta, the cat.
“Brother, come quickly! We have to lock Kuta up… If it keeps running around, dad will ground me.”
They pushed open the corresponding rooms.
The room was filled with pet cages, over a hundred… Tons of cats are raised here, living with Kuta.
“Mr. Kuta still needs to absorb eighty-seven more cats to evolve into its final form.
Dad has always been mediocre in animal modification. If Mr. Kuta’s experiment succeeds,
Dad will have more Void Creations, not limited to humans, and will sooner or later become the town’s chief.”
The little girl said while petting Mr. Kuta in her arms.
In Han Dong’s perspective, the scene, which would seem quite healing to ordinary people, was incredibly warped.
The little girl’s soft petting turned out to be a kind of warning to the kitten, as speckled tentacles wrapped around the entire body of Mr. Kuta.
In the end, the nearly asphyxiating cat was tied up with a chain.
Han Dong took this as an opportunity to ask: “So, are all the special patients detained on the fourth floor of great importance to Dean Richard?”
“Well… Dad said that he could only ‘modify’ moths in cocoons at the moment, so he’s far from successfully incubating a perfect one.
Otherwise, dad would have already established a real Void Army, completely taking over Derry Town.
Hehe! It seems inappropriate for me to say it this way, you are Lord Sam’s subordinate.
I heard that Lord Sam can extract souls with a wave of his hand, is it true?”
“Yes.”
“Wow! When my body is ready, I want to visit Lord Sam’s farm. I heard that he is the most kind-hearted among the [Ten Demons]. He would certainly be willing to play with me.
By the way! Do you know any Straw Spells, can you show me one?”
“Yes.”
Han Dong did his best to satisfy the little girl’s requests.
When Han Dong was using yellow sand to imitate straw and perform various tricks, he accidentally caught a glimpse of what seemed like ghost fire, where it was brightly lit in the depths of the current cat breeding room.
With time passing, the ghost fire got increasingly brighter.
“Sherry, what is that?”
When Han Dong finished with the straw, pointing his finger at the ghost fire deep in the pet room.
The little girl immediately looked surprised, quickly trying to cover Han Dong’s eyes, not wanting him to see the ghost fire… but it was too late.
“This is terrible… I forgot there’s a hidden shrine in Mr. Kuta’s breeding room.
The location of the shrine is not supposed to be known by outsiders. If dad finds out about this, Straw, you will be killed.
What should I do? What should I do?”
“This is [Luck Value]?!”
Han Dong was somewhat stunned, he hadn’t paid special attention to the increased luck value mentioned by the Yellow Robe Being.
As a result, he bumped into the dean’s daughter immediately after he left, successfully establishing a friendly relationship, then he happened to encounter a shrine… his luck was just too good.
“I promise not to tell anyone, including Lord Sam.”
“Really? That’s great.”
Believing Han Dong’s verbal promise, the small loli accepted it as truth….
“The shrine only radiates light when it desires offerings.
My father is currently not in the hospital, so I have to help him fill in the offerings… Straw, wait for me here.”
This generous loli surprisingly left Han Dong here and run off to find the offering herself.
“My God, is this what a [neutral] relationship looks like? She trusts me so much? If it reached a[Reverential] relationship, wouldn’t she be willing to do whatever I asked?”
Han Dong shrugged his shoulders and immediately headed deep into the pet chamber.
The shrine, unlike what he imagined, was placed in the deepest part.
It was a small pavilion built of starlight-overflowing black stone, with many ghost faces imprinted on the surface, symbolizing the offerings that had been sacrificed in the past.
Inside the pavilion was a quite bizarre deity statue.
A floating object composed of small bubbles.
At times spherical, at times branching out, at times all the little bubbles gathered into one large bubble…it was clearly moving, but not showing any signs of life, which was considerably different from the Indescribable Old King’s sculpture that Han Dong had imagined.
“Chen Li…”
As Han Dong called out, a red-dressed ghost immediately appeared from the shadows behind him.
“Can you destroy it?”
Staring at the weird changing bubble body, Chen Li shook her head slightly, “Maybe not…”
“Then we can only do it this way… bear a little.”
Han Dong reached out his hand to place it on Chen Li’s back.
A speckled tentacle infiltrated into Chen Li’s body, touching her Dantian… infusing Chen Li with a new power, but it could only be maintained for a limited time, not permanently.
For a moment, tentacles emerge from the palm of Chen Li’s hand, wrapping around a kitchen knife.
The whole aura also slightly changed.
“This will definitely work…later, when the female corpse reveals the locations of all the shrines, I need you to destroy them all at a specific time.”
“Okay.”
…
When the little loli returned with two common patients for the sacrifice, Han Dong pretended like he hadn’t done anything and waited at the door.
After the sacrificial ceremony was over, the bubble group no longer illuminated the Ghost Fire.
Han Dong once again tentatively asked: “Sherry, what is the Void Otherworld really like? I heard that within the Void Otherworld, Dean Richard is almost invincible…is that true?”
“Yes indeed!
High-level believers of the Void God are all granted a piece of starry sky, which is the[Void Otherworld]… My father’s Void Otherworld has been expanded to a hundred times its original size. It’s quite formidable.”
“That big!”
“Yes! Do you want to see? My father is conducting experiments in the pyramid, we can watch from the outside! Hee hee, Straw, you’ll be scared.”
“What… will I accidentally die?” Han Dong pretended to be scared.
“No, with me there, I won’t let Straw die.”
“Okay… alright then.”
He was delighted inwardly.
If he really has to battle with Dean Richard, due to the “Void Sphere” like artifact, Han Dong might be taken into the Void Otherworld… therefore, obtaining insider information in advance is extremely important.
If it’s too difficult, Han Dong will also give up on killing the dean… Afterall, his life matters most.
