My Cell Prison - Chapter 54
Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Mr. Black White’s Trust
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
His standing and identity have been revealed.
Mr. Black White only cares about Han Dong’s ‘position’.
Through astrology, he has roughly glimpsed Han Dong’s nature, knowing that he stands with humanity… Therefore, he no longer asks about Han Dong’s origins, and will even help him conceal his identity to a certain extent.
But… Han Dong still has reservations.
When talking about wanting to learn the ‘summoning’ ability, he did not reveal Chen Li.
There is a crucial reason for this – Chen Li comes from the Fate Space, and Mr.
Black White might be able to observe Chen Li’s origins through astrology.
Before Han Dong could fully understand the essence of Fate Space, it’s not wise to expose it.
“You want to learn the ability to summon?”
“Um…” Han Dong had prepared his excuses well, “I saw the stitched creatures in the test before, and I felt this ‘control of corpses’ was quite good.
With my body, even though the ‘Ghoul Arm’ sustains me, overall it’s still not quite enough.
If I had a summoned creature assisting me, it could greatly compensate for my lack of ability.”
Mr. Black White said: “The [Control System] is more proficient in summoning and controlling creatures, spirits, and demons.
We of the Mysterious Department are far inferior in this regard.
Two weeks is not a long time; if you want to learn, you must first lay a solid foundation about the ‘plague’, then come to learn ‘summoning’ techniques from me.
If you get distracted and accomplish nothing in these two weeks, you will meet a gruesome end in the next ‘Fate Space’.
The Fate Space that Apprentice Knights participate in, its difficulty is much higher than for novices… You understand, right?”
“I understand.”
Mr. Black White continued, “As for your ‘Ghoul Arm’, use four words to explain to outsiders – Plague Mutant – then no one will delve into it. Because we in the Mysterious Department can perfectly stitch a Ghoul’s arm onto a living thing.”
“Okay.”
“When you have a sufficient understanding of mysticism and have enough knowledge and skills to completely explain the abilities you possess… you no longer need to worry about the issue of ‘exposure,’ and you can declare your name to the Holy City.
Being low-profile can save you from trouble, but fame and honor can also bring you unexpected benefits and convenience.
Balance the pros and cons yourself.
No matter what happens, you must maintain your stance.
Sacrifice everything for human freedom.”
“Alright! Thank you, Mr. Black White.”
He thanked him again. With Mr. Black White’s help, the chances of Han Dong’s identity being revealed were slim, and he just needed to be careful on his side.
“As long as you fulfill Mrs. Pasha’s daily requirements for you, you can come to the Stargazing Room anytime to find me. I’m here all day.” “Okay… Speaking of, Mr. Black White… How do I get to Mrs. Pasha’s office?”
With Han Dong’s question, a strange scene took place.
A black feather was spat out from the mouth of the black mask.
The floating crow feather turned into a black crow and perched on Han Dong’s shoulder.
“It’ll take you there… In a short time, you need to familiarize yourself with the layout of the Dark Moon Tower and don’t waste too much time on this.”
“Okay.”
The conversation ended at this point.
A deadline of two weeks was set. Han Dong had to make use of every minute and second, and every moment that followed had to be planned in detail.
After Han Dong left,
The room returned to its appearance of a cosmic space.
As Mr. Black White stood up to walk towards the telescope, he casually took out a white mask, which faced his black mask.
At this moment, the lips of the white mask began to move on their own, producing an ethereal sound:
“Crow… You’re acting a bit unusual today.
You’ve always been uninterested in these apprentice knights, even the stitching genius who got 99 points two years ago, you just asked for some news from the side.
Why are you so concerned about this kid today?”
The black mask said,
“For an apprentice knight that even your ‘astrology’ cannot see through, of course I’m willing to ‘place a bet’.”
If he can indeed adapt to everything in two weeks, learn the basic plague skills, even learn a bit of basic summoning from me.
Once he can successfully pass through the true sense of the [Fate Space], he can be fully nurtured.”
The white mask said incredulously, “Just because I can’t see through this apprentice knight’s ‘destiny order’?”
“Exactly… If it can’t be seen through, it means that his destiny order may not belong to our world, and it is necessary to give it a shot. This may only cost a little bit of resources.’
As long as his stance stands with mankind, we will have no loss.”
“Who knows about the future?” Conversation ends.
Mr. Black White changed the mask.
Wearing the white mask, his entire temperament and walking posture changed. He slowly walked under the astronomical telescope and continued to observe the universe.
Han Dong, who was riding the lift down, revealed a rare smile.
The biggest worry in his heart was finally put down.
In this world full of magic and strange abilities, there are countless experts and specialists. Han Dong was able to hide once, but he may not be able to hide a second time.
Now, the highest administrator in the Mysterious Department has accepted the existence of Han Dong, which will make his future path much easier.
“Two weeks… The return of the Fate Space.”
The first thing Han Dong thought of was Cass Martini, an apprentice knight who temporarily teamed up with him a few days ago to complete the ghoul mission.
After receiving the bounty, Cass clearly stated that he wanted to continue teaming up with Han Dong, including for subsequent bounty missions and the
Fate Space.
“I can contact Cass in advance and continue to use the alias ‘Andwa’, pretending to be an apprentice knight who has been at the College of Mysticism for a year and team up with him.
The Crusaders who have already obtained 3 Fate Points should know more.”
Guided by the crow.
The lift descended to the first floor of the tower.
Then, he needed to change to another special lift… The wall of the lift was stained with a sticky mycelium.
“Is Mrs. Pasha’s office not in the tower? Mainly researching plague, could it
be… ”
At this point, Han Dong suddenly remembered what the graveyard steward had said about the affiliated area of the Mysterious Department.
[Old sewers]
This affiliated area is considered quite dangerous according to the steward, and he advised Han Dong not to go there. After descending about a hundred meters.
The lift stopped.
An underground area filled with pale yellow light unfolded before Han Dong.
The pale yellow color did not come from oil lamps.
It was a large amount of luminous bacteria clinging to the wall of the sewer. The largest luminous organization was even the size of an arm, like a giant pustule.
The airborne spores then dispersed the yellow light throughout the sewer.
There were multicolored mushrooms in the cracks of the wall.
Even the mice running around here had a colony of mushrooms growing on their bodies, and they were larger than ordinary mice.
Some mutated insects had bodies and strange postures beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
“Ordinary people in this environment would only become the nutrients for the fungi.”
Just as Han Dong was considering how to step into this area.
The crow perched on his shoulder cried out.
The crow actually transformed into a living bird-beak mask and voluntarily attached itself to Han Dong’s face.
And the crow’s feathers turned into a black robe that can isolate the fungi in the [Old Sewers] from his body..
