My Cell Prison - Chapter 331

Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Regulatory Office and Searchlight

Hidden Area – [Regulatory Office]

『A brief explanation is needed here due to the considerable influence of the hidden area on the paradise itself』

The Regulatory Office was built as a core structure at the beginning of the establishment of the paradise, with only one purpose – detention and management.

To forcefully detain those Strange Tales which are difficult for the paradise managers to control, reducing variability.

The paradise managers once established contact with humans, integrating human-controlled science and technology and borrowing a large number of death row inmates for project construction, spending a lot of manpower and resources in the heart of paradise to build the [Regulatory Office].

It then took decades to detain uncontrollable ‘Horror Strange Tales’ one by one, thereby transforming the paradise into a Strange Tales city managed by a single person.

To further stabilize the paradise, a lighthouse was built.

The [Regulatory Office] is permanently closed, so much so that later Strange Tales and humans did not know of its existence.

To ensure that the closed Regulatory Office would not have issues, the paradise managers also expended a lot of effort to create a ‘Regulatory System’. The [prison cells] were inspected 24 hours a day.

The area corresponds to a special event: [Mr. Aha’s Commission]

『Hidden Area – Regulatory Office, special reward requirements as follows』

Releasing each Horror Strange Tale can earn you 5 Strange Tales points.

Note: Due to the long period of confinement of the Horror Strange Tales in the Regulatory Office, their mental state is deteriorating in the closed space, and their aggression may be stronger than before.

When the Horror Strange Tales are released, there is a high probability that they will indiscriminately attack others.

…

At the end of the introduction.

Han Dong decisively abandoned the proposal about releasing Horror Strange Tales to earn points.

His first goal is to complete Mr. Aha’s commission.

“Is this… a psychiatric hospital?”

Compared to the interior of the lighthouse.

The Regulatory Office beneath it seems more like a psychiatric hospital structure,

White brick gray wall,

An arched hallway,

The tungsten lamps at the top connected with old wires are completely damaged,

Compared to the densely distributed wards in the lighthouse, it’s different down here… the wards are placed quite far apart.

Each long hospital corridor, there is only one ward in the middle

The surface of the iron door used for confinement is also painted with strange images, representing the identity of the detainee inside.

You know.

Those detained here are Horror Strange Tales which can affect the safety of the paradise and give the managers a headache.

Except under special circumstances, Han Dong would never release these dangerous and uncontrollable creatures for a mere 5 Strange Tales points.

“What’s this?”

Han Dong and others happened to land in the middle of a quiet corridor.

The iron door beside them is rusting and peeling… However, a completely torn mouth is painted in the middle of the iron door.

Han Dong tries to slightly slide open the small window on the iron door, observe the Strange Tales inside, and confirm the strength.

“The Little Demon Eye can’t see clearly?”

The interior was surrounded by a strong black atmosphere, coupled with the influence of the lighthouse itself, it was hard to see the situation inside.

Just as Han Dong was trying to hold his breath and concentrate, to enhance the efficiency of the Little Demon Eye and see through this black mist… a sense of danger came, forcing Han Dong to retreat quickly and squat down.

A pair of scissors coiling with black substance suddenly protruded from the small window, snap!

Cutting off a small tuft of Han Dong’s hair.

Ha ha ha!

A kind of tearing, strange laughter came out from the window.

A terrifying mouth, completely split open, appeared at the window.

The arm was retracted.

The horrifying mouth slowly moved down, revealing a pair of very peculiar pale yellow eyes, with only two black spots in the center as pupils.

The eye revealed the information, it seemed to only want to completely shred and kill Han Dong and his team… didn’t want to escape from here at all, it was clearly completely mad.

Snap!

Abe decisively closed the window of the door.

『Has come into contact with [Strange Tale-Slit Mouthed Woman], level [S-], ranked 18th in ‘Paradise S-level Strange Tales Rank’, please handle with caution.』

“We have a Strange Tale that is almost the same as the butcher in the public bathroom?”

Abe also broke out in cold sweat, and continued, “So what will be the thing that we are looking for that’s locked in the deepest part? The strongest Strange Tale? Nicholas… will there be a problem in this special event?”

“Since we have come here, even if there is a problem, we have to do it…”

Inside the gloomy hospital corridor, with the Slit Mouthed Woman in the ward next to them, Winry quickly hugged Mia tightly out of fear, looking all around.

“Vice-Captain, we seemed to have been sucked in by some sort of spatial means… How will we get out when the time comes?”

“Release the guy in the deepest part, and naturally we can get out.”

At this moment.

Abe’s beast ears twitched slightly, as if hearing some sound, immediately gestured to his team to retreat.

Tap ~ tap ~ tap!

Clear high-heels sound came from the other end of the corridor.

At the corner, first a beam of light shot out…

Then, a long leg in red high-heels stepped out… the length of this long leg was slightly excessive, reaching two meters.

There was no more human-like part.

What came out was an old searchlight.

Only, growing under this searchlight were two long legs, walking in the corridor in an exaggerated manner, monitoring the situation here.

“Is this the ‘Searchlight’ that Mr. Aha mentioned before and told us to be careful of? Mia, quickly spit silk… test this thing’s strength.”

Mia immediately understood Han Dong’s meaning, a stealthy spider silk spit towards the small window of the iron door corresponding to the [Slit Mouthed Woman].

Just when the searchlight was about to reach the iron door.

The spider silk pulls… the small window opens.

However, the Slit Mouthed Woman inside didn’t make any movement, it seemed that she knew very well… she couldn’t provoke this searchlight.

Snap snap snap! A sound of twisting joints.

A hand full of electrode tubes grew out from inside the searchlight, and closed the window again.

“It’s coming toward us… Shall we take action?”

“Run… Do not provoke any conflicts before finding our target.

The ‘Searchlight’ responsible for the security work of the Regulatory Office is very likely to belong to a group organization like the nurse above.

Killing one might attract the attention of all.”

“Okay! Let’s go…”

The old book held in Han Dong’s hand clearly mapped out the route inside the Regulatory Office.

By taking detours, creating sound sources in combination with those detainees here, they avoided the ‘Searchlights’ with various poses… Moreover, the team even encountered a very terrifying searchlight on the way.

Over two meters tall, wearing a spiked helmet wrapped in iron wire,

Dragging a heavy axe in its left hand and holding a searchlight in its right hand…The aura it exuded was several times stronger than a regular ‘Searchlight’.

According to the map, when we walked down a set of back-and-forth staircases,

Finally arrived at the lowest level of the Regulatory Office…

“We made it!”

『Arrived at the deepest part of the Regulatory Office, found the ‘Blood Key’ corresponding secret door, special event entered the second phase.』
