My Cell Prison - Chapter 398:
Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Omen Pouch
The so-called candy bag was a small black cloth bag with a pattern of an octopus face printed on the surface and could conveniently be hung from the waist.
When Han Dong reached out to touch it, there was again a system prompt:
“You have picked up the important item for this event–[Bag of Omen].”
Whenever the ‘myth stage’ arrives, a card must be drawn from the bag and a dice roll is required.
The ‘Omen’ judgment is only invalid if the value marked on the Omen card is ‘equal’ to the dice roll… In other cases, the event corresponding to the Omen card will happen immediately.
When you successfully escape from, resolve, or avoid an Omen event, you will receive an equal amount of the ‘Omen value’ from the Omen card.
When the Omen judgment fails, the probability of drawing the card- ‘Despair Moment’ will be increased (it will eventually rise to 100%).
Once you draw ‘Despair Moment’, you must draw two Omen cards from the bag again, they will be activated immediately without having to roll the dice.
※The setting of the Despair Moment is aimed at participants with incredibly good luck.
Note: ①[Bag of Omen] cannot be spied, burned, or lost.
②. The process of rolling the dice can’t be interfered with by outside forces and is related to individual luck.
③. The so-called myth stage will appear according to the development of the plot. At that time, participants will receive a prompt.”
……
“Omens…So this is how it’s set up, which means fortuitous dangers are inevitable.
Even if my luck is exceptionally good, something would still happen.
Aren’t there too many rules and settings in Single-Player Mode? I have the feeling that this Fate event is extremely dangerous, but there might be some unexpected opportunities.
I intended to take Togu and Chen Li for some training, I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”
The opening free activity time was half an hour.
Han Dong immediately began to investigate the villa he had temporarily rented.
The “Mist” event gave Han Dong a writer’s identity, but unlike in the “Clown Revival”, it didn’t forcibly insert corresponding memories.
Han Dong needed to understand his own identity.
When arriving on the second floor of the villa.
Due to the impact of yesterday’s storm, a large tree in the courtyard smashed directly into the villa, completely destroying the study.
Han Dong, relying on the power of the G Arm, forcibly tore open the blocked study door to inspect the interior.
(It should be noted that the town is located on the central island of a large lake. Most of the resident buildings are located on the edge of the island, offering a beautiful view of the lake and the distant mountains.)
Through the gap broken by the big tree, Han Dong could see the dense white mist lingering between the mountains at the other end of the lake.
The mist was slowly moving towards the small town.
This was how the “Mist” film began.
Inside the study smashed by the big tree, various books were scattered all over the floor, as well as some manuscripts belonging to Han Dong, the writer.
“Hmm…There’s only a title? The rest are all blank pages? Could it be… I’m severely blocked in my writing, so I came here to find inspiration? This is a bit strange.”
The manuscripts scattered all over the floor were all blank pages.
The only piece of blank paper had a capital English title written on it——”MI”
Han Dong continued to search for some clues that might be used in the study.
“Judging from the scattered books, it seems I am a horror writer… Why would I come to this small town to gather material? Is there any local horror legend? At least it was not mentioned in the movie.””
Without any effective clues, the half-hour preparation time ended.
『Plot Guide: Go to the supermarket』
Objective: Please arrive at the Comprehensive Supermarket in the town center within 20 minutes.
Note: This guide has no additional options and must be carried out.
“In the beginning part, there will be a requirement for me to follow the original movie plot… At present, I have not experienced any Omens. In the early stage, following the movie plot I am familiar with can also be considered as a stable opening move.”
When Han Dong went to the cloakroom to change clothes, he found that the clothes in the wardrobe were rather middle-aged in style, both monotonous and old-fashioned.
Finally, Han Dong put on a white shirt and a pair of relatively loose trousers and leather shoes before setting off immediately.
Just like in the movie plot.
During the drive, he encountered a large number of military vehicles heading in the opposite direction. In the original movie, it was also here that a little about the military’s plan was mentioned.
In no time at all, Han Dong had driven to the Comprehensive Supermarket, the important area where 80% of the movie’s story took place.
Doing his best to avoid everyone’s sight, Han Dong entered the supermarket from the side and did not make contact with anyone for the time being.
『Plot Guide: You have entered the supermarket, quietly wait for the mist to arrive.』
Han Dong, who was hiding in a corner, soon saw important characters and supporting roles in the movie in the supermarket, as well as a female character which he greatly disliked.
The movie ‘Mist’, when illustrating human nature issues, portrayed an extremely disliked religious fanatic.
During the time when everyone was trapped in the supermarket due to despair.
This fanatic was constantly expressing ‘judgment day’ speeches. In America, where religion is prevalent, combined with this kind of desperate environment, it caused 80% of the civilians in the supermarket to recognize her as chosen by God and advocate sacrificing a portion of the population to quell the wrath of God.
“This kind of fanatic could possibly affect my actions and complicate matters… Before the arrival of the mist, let’s see if I can deal with this person in advance.
No need to kill her, just find a reason to lure her out of the supermarket, then let nature take its course.”
Just as Han Dong tried to approach this woman who was yet to make judgment day speeches, the guide prompted him again:
“You have made contact with the important character[Ms. Carmody], maliciously killing this person may cause a ‘speed-up’.”
Please select one of the following dialogues to develop your relationship with this character.
(A ‘dialogue guide’ only occurs during the first encounter with an important character.)
1. “Hello, Ms. Carmody, I was reading ‘Revelations’ some time ago and encountered some problems. Can I borrow some of your time to ask you about some issues in the book?””
2. “Ms. Carmody, you look beautiful today.”
3. “You’re in my way, get lost!””
4. “In a while, Satan will come to claim your filthy flesh.”
“Is this… a dialogue guidance for the first conversation? Worthy of Single-Player Mode, but it also makes sense… After all, I haven’t been implanted with this writer’s related memories, reckless dialogue might raise suspicions.”
In Han Dong’s view, the first dialogue option was actually better for luring her.
But Han Dong had not read the Bible, so he didn’t know how to continue the ensuing conversation. He might annoy this fanatic, causing her to refuse any future contact with Han Dong.
He finally made a choice.
While most of the people in the supermarket were complaining about the power outage and signal interruption.
Han Dong whispered into Ms. Carmody’s ear:
“In a while, Satan will come to claim your filthy flesh.”
After saying this, Han Dong appeared at the end of the aisle, waving to the fanatic in a creepy manner, and then walked towards the warehouse area at the rear of the supermarket.
As expected.
“The messenger of Satan!!”
Ms. Carmody was enraged and immediately chased after to confront Han Dong.
