My Cell Prison-Chapter 1254 - 1253: Conspiracy

The situation reversed, just as Han Dong had anticipated.

The reason for such a smooth transition was due to the choice Han Dong made at Moon God Mountain, a choice that required boldness and physical support to achieve, and when combined with certain opportunities, allowed him to encounter a high-positioned being capable of intervening in the overall situation.

It was precisely the connections provided by this high-positioned existence that enabled Han Dong to catch up with Chen Xinying’s[Progress]and achieve the reversal before him.

In this uncontrolled world centered around the Tomb Lord, freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Progress ≈ Official Rank

Because the main storyline setting is not given, the way to advance in rank can be approached through different systems of the court based on one’s own special traits.

For example, Swollen Doctor, by leveraging his knowledge of spinal structures and mechanical technology, along with a brain dedicated to research, quickly won the acceptance of the Ministry of Works and was recognized as a talent, rising rapidly through the ranks.

The route chosen by Han Dong in the Secret Department was also quite good.

But it was nearly impossible to catch up with Chen Xinying’s progress... The Doctor, diligent and hardworking for over a hundred days, contributing greatly, only just advanced to the position of Workshop Director at the rank of[Junior Fourth Rank].

Chen Xinying, through despicable means, had already become a Dragon View Taoist Master at the rank of[Positive Third Rank].

The so-called despicable means was exactly "denunciation".

When Han Dong first met the Tomb Lord, he pointed out the ’trouble that needed clarification’ and handed over a letter.

It listed Chen Xinying’s name paired with the silver dragon emblem.

As the Tomb Lord pulled the relevant files, just as Han Dong had guessed, Chen Xinying’s way of promotion was indeed reporting her teammates and other Black Tower employees who came here.

Now.

Chen Xinying is one step away from becoming a Second Rank Life Official, which is also the basic condition for Face the Saint.

However, this step requires a significant contribution and must be personally acknowledged by the Tomb Lord.

At this moment.

Han Dong, the new employee in Corpse Country, conveniently appeared.

Chen Xinying, thus, placed the "opportunity" for promotion on Han Dong.

Since a significant contribution was needed, Han Dong had to become a significant threat... This is where Chen Xinying needed to give a boost, offering a series of help to make Han Dong become a Black Zombie, initiating a range of actions in the Demon Region.

Making Han Dong a threat to the essence of Corpse Country, then through the Ministry of War - Shentu Yang, to report to the emperor in person.

Such actions would enable her to make great achievements and be promoted to Second Rank.

...

[Taiji Palace]

Han Dong said coldly:

"If I’m not mistaken.

Your Wuu’tacyn species is inherently incomplete.

I can see that your essence relies heavily on a physical body.

Thanks to that time in Under Moon City when you were willing to show me... although I don’t quite understand the essence of what you are, your detachment from the body was extremely unnatural. It’s like the substance of the spirit body clinging to the flesh, having to be peeled off slowly.

Therefore.

I speculate that besides advancing and leveling up, your species has an important[Mission]- to seize a body that perfectly matches, has tremendous potential, and can perfectly support your essence.

When you arrived at "The Tombs" as an employee, you inadvertently found a perfect target.

A zombie physique far stronger than its counterparts,

The perfect shell of a Mythic Body,

And capable of releasing ’Deadly Gas’ that can trigger world-wide uncontrolled events,

And most importantly,

Due to special reasons, such a perfect [Container]is in a weakened state that is easy to take over, and has been so for a long time, while also being confined to kingship.

Your ultimate goal is the[Tomb Lord].

That’s the fundamental reason why you’re willing to go to any lengths to quickly get promoted in order to qualify for Face the Saint. I suppose my conjectures aren’t wrong, are they?"

When Han Dong said all this.

Sir Yan quickly approached the curtain and released bursts of dusky purple Corpse Energy.

Through the operation of "Heaven Evolution Secret Sutra," he constructed a hallucinatory defensive Barrier to ensure the safety of the Tomb Lord... He had a faint premonition that even with the Brocade Robe Guards and the Ministry of War here and having taken control of the target, this matter would not simply end.

...

Faced with the sudden reversal and the absolute trap set for her by Han Dong,

Chen Xinying, however, displayed no excessive anger or loss of control.

Instead, she showed a sense of ease that made Han Dong quite uncomfortable.

"Hahaha... Your brain, indeed, is very special.

Neither [Vortex Eye] nor [Magnetic Field] can exert any influence, and I have often wanted to open up your skull to see what exactly is inside.

It’s a pity that your Body is not here; otherwise, I would have changed the target and chosen your body as the[Container].

One question baffles me, how did you overtake me in progress and gain the Tomb Lord’s trust ahead of time? A single Secret official examination, even if you revealed some secrets, wouldn’t have put you so immediately in the Tomb Lord’s good graces, right?"

Han Dong shook his head, "Sorry, I’m unable to answer this question... Just assume that in terms of ’Qi Luck’ I’m a bit luckier.

After all, Qi Luck is also considered a part of strength."

"Qi Luck?

No wonder, some of the things I’ve done indeed consume this elusive attribute... Since you have seen through it, why not just kill me directly in the Demon Region or the barracks, leveraging your power,

Instead of going through all this trouble, setting up such a big game to trap me? Aren’t you just trying to humiliate me to show off your skills?"

Han Dong hurriedly waved his hand, responding with a smile:

"We’re both interns, not just ordinary participants in fate... Although your acting is poor, I supposed your strength must be quite formidable.

It had to match this grand arrangement to ensure that I could ’eradicate’ you.

It’s necessary to eradicate you; as long as you’re alive, I’ll be in big trouble."

Hearing this,

Chen Xinying slowly lowered her head, but her smile did not fade.

"Remember our agreement, to reveal to me your true name when we return to the Black Tower.

Since now it seems only one of us can go back smoothly... Let me tell you in advance.

I come from the[High Order World - The Other Side], my name is: Ubo Refi.

And there’s one thing you got wrong..."

"What’s that?"

"I’m not any intern."

Upon saying this,

Han Dong’s face changed dramatically, and at the same time, he felt a bizarre sense of Danger, not from the body, but from deep within the Soul.

Suddenly,

The smiling Chen Xinying didn’t care about the Brocade Robe Guards nearby and actually reached her hand towards the curtain, intending to launch some kind of attack on the Emperor.

Such an action was clearly problematic.

"No, don’t kill her!"

Han Dong quickly took out the Death Jade from his bosom, asking the Brocade Robe Guards to hold their hands.

Unfortunately, the warning was a step too late.

The moment her killing intent became fully apparent, the Brocade Robe Guards acted instantly!

They would never allow actions that directly threatened the Emperor.

Various weapons sliced through her Body, and ’Chen Xinying’s human female-like, mechanically Modified body was immediately cut to pieces by the blades; one of the guards even turned it to dust.

However,

A wisp of Ghost Substance was not affected at all and quickly attached itself to one of the Brocade Robe Guards.

"Formal Employee! This is troublesome..."
