My Cell Prison-Chapter 1150 - 1149: Re-Entering Yin Yang Road

Before long,

Headless, with his protruding belly, had arrived at the office to meet with Han Dong.

Headless had even hurriedly come with a notebook in his hand, seemingly because Han Dong’s request had made him rush to leave in the middle of a meeting.

"Headless, will this interfere with your work?"

"Not only does it not interfere, but I also have to thank you... There are always some utterly boring routine meetings every few days, and today’s meeting was just as tedious. I’ve been wanting to find an excuse to slip away, and you gave me a perfect reason to leave."

"Alright then."

Han Dong gave an awkward smile, always feeling that things weren’t as simple as Headless made them out to be.

After all, he was just a new member and probably the lowest-ranked one in the club.

As for Headless’s status, judging by the respectful expressions of the other members, it was obviously quite high.

But when Han Dong had come to the Black Tower with severe injuries this time, it was Headless who had taken care of him... and this time, he had actively come to help.

Han Dong always felt that Headless had a special thought about him, whether good or bad, it was hard to judge.

But Han Dong’s intuition was that it should be ’friendly.’

...

Following the guidance of the staff,

they went through a secret passage at the office to a compartment set up with a directional portal.

"Remember, please retrieve your Minion within 48 hours.

During this period, you will not be able to trigger any tasks in this world or receive any rewards.

Also, due to executing a special event, the number of equipment you can carry will be unrestricted."

"Okay."

Han Dong was fully equipped.

However, due to the injuries on his left arm and body trunk, if there were any issues in the Yin Yang Road world, he would try to handle everything with his right hand as much as possible.

"Count, if anything happens inside, you can use my body."

He thought the Count would happily respond, but there was no reply.

"Hmm? Count?"

"...No, I don’t need it."

It then occurred to Han Dong.

Previously, while escaping the pursuit of Eugenes, Han Dong had completely severed the mental connection between the two to avoid shared damage.

Noticing the abnormal state of the Count, Han Dong immediately restored the ’connection’... and then sensed the emotional changes in the Count.

The Count’s refusal was mainly because he was fearful of Headless, largely due to the terrifying aura continuously emanating from Headless.

Regarding the issue of Headless’s rank,

Han Dong could not evaluate it, only vaguely aware that Headless had completed a Myth Construction.

Because of different species, different worlds, and different cultivation methods, plus the terrifying aura emitted by Headless masking his true nature,

"The Count will save this opportunity for another time.

It’s just going to a minor world to pick someone up, nothing interesting... Besides, I was severely injured dealing with the Fifth Element not long ago, and I was in charge of your body while you were unconscious.

I’m a bit tired now, planning to rest for a while."

"Why are you afraid of Headless?"

Han Dong asked this question very clearly, not to disrespect the Count, but to understand the reasons... After all, Headless had always been helpful, and although he was somewhat scary, he was still very friendly.

Since Han Dong had brought it up, the Count had no intention of hiding anything.

"...I’m not sure.

Since you first encountered this guy in the Black Tower, I’ve had a lot of pressure. However, staying inside your body, I can still handle this pressure.

During your unconsciousness, I was the one who dragged your body to find the martial arts club."

"When in direct contact with this guy, one could feel an instinctive dread... perhaps a fear emanating from the demon’s instinct."

"Demon’s instinct?"

"Yeah... After all, you didn’t feel this kind of dread, so that’s the only explanation. This guy is at least of the mythic level, with him as a helper, you don’t need my assistance at all."

"Fine then."

The "demon’s instinct" mentioned by the Count intrigued Han Dong, and he even recalled recently encountering a Saint Grade creature in London, which also targeted demons.

Before stepping through the Door of Fate.

Han Dong looked at Headless, who was only wearing a samurai robe with his upper body bare, and asked curiously, "Headless Brother, aren’t you bringing any equipment?"

"No need."

With that, a palm landed on Han Dong’s shoulder.

The palm from Headless, somewhat fleshy and hairy... instead of instilling fear in Han Dong when it touched his shoulder, it gave him a sense of security.

Together, they stepped through the portal.

During the teleportation, everything was dark.

A series of settings and system prompts about Yin Yang Road were transmitted to Han Dong’s mind.

In fact, when Han Dong had previously accessed in a ’conscious state,’ he already had a deeper understanding of the concept of Yin Yang Road through a ghost... this was the fundamental reason for the existence of a world where humans and ghosts coexist.

In the small world where Chen Li was undergoing her trials, there existed a life-and-death rule - [Yin Yang Road].

An individual could encounter Yin Yang Road at any place, any time, influenced by their karma of good and evil; it could be a rural fork in the road or a fork in a crowded mall.

Choosing the Yin path invariably led to events causing death.

Even if one successfully survived the ordeal of death or chose the Yang path, the second encounter with Yin Yang Road would arrive after some time.

Once an individual successfully survived three times, even if they died afterward, they could transform into a ghost and remain in the world... The strength of the ghost depended on the number of times the person passed through Yin Yang Road while alive.

And for the very few, extremely lucky or strong individuals who managed to pass through ’eighteen times’ of Yin Yang Road, they would find no more choices and be trapped therein, facing continuous deadly disasters.

If they continued to survive and maintained their undying state.

Yin Yang Road might compromise and offer the individual an opportunity to gain Yin-Yang power through suicide.

From the previous situation, it seemed Chen Li had already reached this state... also impacting the overall balance of the Yin Yang Road world.

...

The teleportation ended.

Han Dong appeared directly in an old van, and he was the driver.

All the rear seats were removed.

Headless Brother’s bulky body completely filled the rear space.

Initially, Han Dong thought about how to disguise Headless Brother’s appearance, considering that the background of [Yin Yang Road] was Hong Kong in the nineties... such a headless individual walking in the streets would inevitably cause havoc.

But in reality, Han Dong was overthinking.

"It seems Chen Li has had a significant impact on [Yin Yang Road], no wonder this place cannot accommodate participants of fate, and the Black Tower is forcing me to take Chen Li away within 48 hours... Has it turned into a ghost city?"

The time they teleported in was [Night].

The van drove on city roads.

Wherever the headlights shone, an ’apocalyptic’ scene unfolded.

Numerous damaged cars were parked on the highways, and there seemed to be no sign of living persons in the city; it felt like all the city’s circuits had been cut off except for the van’s headlights, which were the only source of light.

"Where have all the people gone? I remember that a few months ago, everything here was normal... Did they get evacuated, or have they all died?"

Just as Han Dong drove through an intersection.

His gaze inadvertently caught a glimpse of a lonely old street lamp shining on the supposedly dark street to the right, flickering due to voltage issues.

This scene immediately reminded Han Dong of the previous conscious scenario, and he immediately turned the van into it.

At the same time, the Headless Brother lying in the back started to sit up slowly.
