My Cell Prison - Chapter 308

Chapter 308: Chapter 308: The City of Strange Tales

“The scene, density, atmosphere are completely different.

The rules for gaining Strange Tales Points may also be different…I need to hurry to the ‘store’ to see Mr. Aha.”

Within the team, the one who is least capable of concealment and most likely to create problems is the blacksmith Winry, who may encounter trouble on the way to the store.

“Winry…Follow closely behind me in the next part of the journey.”

“Ah…Okay.”

The scene of being closely hugged by the vice captain in the bushes still occasionally surfaced in Winry’s mind.

However, Winry knew very well that Mia, who was also from the Mysterious Department, liked the vice captain very much…The vice captain had cared for her several times, which always made her feel embarrassed.

But Winry herself was also very afraid of the various Strange Tales on the streets.

She glanced at Mia’s expression secretly while leaning towards Han Dong.

As she approached,

Caw~ (the slight sound of a crow cawing)

The black glove on Han Dong’s left hand surprisingly sprouted an eye.

Right after, black feathers formed on the surface of the glove, which then detached from the hand on its own, turning into an obedient crowman.

It was Duo Zeya.

During his most recent trip to Stuart Manor, Han Dong specifically brought Duo Zeya along.

The glove transformed by Duo Zeya could improve his ‘Agility’ to a certain extent, which was very helpful for Han Dong… After being transformed into living equipment, it could successfully avoid the restrictions of Fate Space’s detection and was successfully brought into this Fate event.

“Duo Zeya, from now on, you will follow Miss Winry.”

“What about…about you?”

Duo Zeya preferred to stick to Han Dong.

After all, Han Dong’s unique scent alone could nourish Duo Zeya.

During his operation at Stuart Manor, Duo Zeya made great progress by sticking to Han Dong for a long time, showing signs of becoming a ‘Double-headed Crow Man’.

“All you need to do is protect Miss Winry. Try to cover her whole body with your crow feathers, assisting in concealing her presence… Once exposed! We will all be in danger.”

“Okay!”

Caw, caw…

Duo Zeya turned towards Winry, cawing softly.

“Winry, stretch out your hand…this crowman is quite gentle, you can try petting its head.”

“Hmm.”

As Winry’s hand touched Duo Zeya’s head, a ring of dark energy and feathers instantly wrapped around her arm.

The resulting living equipment was somewhat different.

It seems that Duo Zeya can change according to individual special traits…the equipment worn on Winry’s left hand was more like a glove.

It didn’t increase agility, but it could add dark-element damage when attacking.

At the same time, a faint crowman aura envelops Winry’s whole body, concealing her presence.

Seeing Han Dong paying extra attention to Winry, even giving her such an important living tool,

Even though Mia treated Winry as a younger sister, she still felt a bit upset, and pouted slightly.

“Mia…”

“Huh?” Mia, who had just been jealous, was slightly stunned by Han Dong’s call.

“In this inner layer of the amusement park filled with Strange Tales, your ‘Demon Sword’ will be key to executing them… You take this. It matches perfectly with the cold attribute of the Demon Sword.”

Han Dong took off the ring from his right hand.

Mia, who had received the ‘Coral Seal’, immediately felt at ease and was overjoyed.

Han Dong gave two valuable items to his teammates. The reason he did this was to consider the overall situation of the team and maximize their overall strength.

“Let’s go…”

Han Dong and Abe fully opened their senses, lurking in the shadows on both sides of the street.

The ‘Strange Tales’ they came across along the way were eerie and cryptic, densely populated.

Han Dong even felt that each room in the buildings on both sides of the street housed a Strange Tale.

There were also many weird shops that couldn’t easily be described and were currently operating.

In some large supermarket,

All the employees inside were replaced by various plastic mannequins. Some of the mannequins’ plastic skin was peeling off, revealing the fresh red flesh structure inside, with a lot of nerve tendrils floating around the openings.

An antique shop.

A shop owner draped in a black robe stands motionless at the door, slightly bowing his body.

A black cat perches on his shoulder, its emerald eyes surveying every passing life.

A certain restaurant.

Standing at the entrance is a hostess in a maid outfit, whose face boasts nothing but a mouth… Every second the waitress firmly grinds her teeth together, making a clattering, clattering, clattering sound of colliding teeth.

Frenzied sounds of objects being sucked at echo from within the restaurant.

Through his perception, Han Dong does his best to avoid everything.

But… there’s still a problem.

When he’s just one street away from ‘The Shop’.

In an unexpected moment, the clear sound of high heels suddenly rings out!

Startled, Han Dong hastily pulls his teammates into a damp alleyway.

Not long afterward, they spy a woman exceeding three meters in height, wearing a black wedding dress, walking by in high heels… When she reaches the alleyway, she stops abruptly.

Ka-ka-ka…

The sound of her bones and joints creaking as she turns her body.

A long and twisted face peers into the depths of the alleyway.

It seems as though she’s discovered Han Dong and his group, yet she seems drawn to something else within the alleyway.

“Damn…”

Han Dong, hiding behind a trash bin, blanches.

Because the Little Demon Eye has spotted something even more terrifying lurking in the alleyway.

In the darkness, it seems like there are hundreds of arms clinging to the ground and the walls.

Their fingernails are dug deep into the wall, straining desperately, attempting to drag something heavy and gigantic from the depths of the alleyway.

Han Dong promptly issues an order, “Kill the woman at the mouth of the alleyway and get out of here!”

Yet, unexpectedly.

Before Mia could unsheathe the Demon Sword.

The tall woman in high heels, a look of terror on her face, flees without a moment’s hesitation.

However, what she fears is not Mia… but the thing in the depth of the alleyway.

Sweat is soaking Han Dong’s backside.

Similarly.

Abe’s Beast Perception is equally sensing the danger.

Fluffy white fur emerges from his body, showing no desire to fight…

“Run! Ignore the other Strange Tales you might encounter on the road; head straight for ‘The Shop’…”

The moment Han Dong gives the signal, the entire team retreats from the alleyway.

According to the map, the ‘Shop’ is about five hundred meters away.

Whether the shop is located on the first floor or inside the building remains uncertain.

The ‘thing’ in the alleyway becomes agitated as it senses its prey fleeing.

The hundreds of hands begin to scramble furiously — their nails snapping off in the process. As the arms crawl out of the alleyway, they drag a massive woman’s head onto the street.

Instantly, the surrounding shops run by ‘Strange Tales’ shut their doors. It seems they all greatly fear this gigantic head.

Mia’s four spider legs,

Winry’s sturdy physical build,

Abe’s Beast Functionality; they all have great Moving Speed.

Only Han Dong is left a bit behind…

At the critical moment, a white shadow dashes up, and without asking for Han Dong’s opinion, promptly carries him on its back.

“Hold on tight…”

“Alright!” Han Dong tightly wraps his arms around Abe, their bodies pressed against the soft, fluffy white fur, finding it extremely comfortable.

A wolf-like figure forms.

With all four limbs in contact with the ground, Abe shoots off in a full sprint.
