My Cell Prison-Chapter 1255 - 1254: Crisis

[Formal Employee]

Belonging to those recognized by the Black Tower Institution, aside from the usual rights to participate in Fate events, one can go to the Central Transfer Station-Black Tower and choose to take on missions issued by the Black Tower instead of Fate events.

Besides the standard rewards of Fate Points, there are often many additional rewards.

At the same time, this can improve performance, laying the foundation for future promotions.

A promotion within the Black Tower signifies more "authority" acquired across the multiverse.

The higher the authority, the deeper the depth one can reach.

To become a Formal Employee from a Trainee Employee, one must achieve an [Excellent] evaluation in a total of three assessments.

Due to the Pennywise incident and capturing the White Giant’s out-of-control mother body in "Prometheus," Han Dong has already received two Excellent evaluations... Just one more, and he can become a Formal Employee.

Thus, it’s clear that becoming a Formal Employee is quite difficult.

His current opponent is a "Formal Employee"; even with such a plan in place by Han Dong, it still doesn’t allow for complete reassurance.

"Sir Yan, just ensure His Majesty’s safety! I will handle the situation here."

"Understood!"

Although Han Dong was instructing Yan Bowen,

The Demon Eye born on his forehead was firmly fixed on ’Chen Xinying’s’ corpse’s location.

A ghost-like substance mildly distorted by electromagnetic interference had already fled from within the corpse, undamaged under the attack of the Brocade Robe Guards.

"Scatter..."

Before Han Dong could finish his words,

The ghost’s main body dispersed in the air, transforming into a sticky dust-like substance, landing on the bodies of the four Brocade Robe Guards.

Ubo Refi, using her time living in Corpse Country under the guise of a ’Taoist Master,’ researched over five hundred zombie bodies, including twenty Black Zombies.

She had already simulated control over the zombies in secret, reaching profound levels in her research on such life forms.

For zombies she had physical contact with, she could achieve total control in a short period.

When the dust-like substance landed on the Brocade Robe Guards, they only felt their brains flooded with intense electromagnetic interference, forcibly detached from consciousness and body.

Simultaneously.

Within the shredded clothing from Chen Xinying’s corpse, intact Talisman Paper was still preserved.

One by one, yellow Talismans were immediately stuck onto the foreheads of the Brocade Robe Guards, achieving control through both internal and external action.

Such rapid invasion speed caused even the Tomb Lord within the veil to frown.

These were the Royal Forbidden Army, appointed by the Tomb Lord himself.

Selected through layers of scrutiny and extremely brutal loyalty tests, they were used by the Tomb Lord.

With both martial strength and loyalty at the pinnacle of the court, they were controlled entirely within mere seconds.

Just as everyone was preparing to deal with the controlled Brocade Robe Guards.

Strangely enough.

The Brocade Robe Guards with Talisman Paper on their foreheads did not launch an attack on Han Dong, nor on the Tomb Lord behind the veil.

Instead, they made a retreating motion and immediately withdrew towards the four corners of the Taiji Palace.

Upon reaching the corners, a layer of dark flames blazed on their surfaces.

The dark flames represented the burning of intrinsic Corpse Energy within... equivalent to directly consuming [Nei Dan], once depleted, the individual will also face death.

Such a sacrifice was exchanged for an energy amplification of several times the magnitude.

Using the energy from the burning Nei Dan, with the four of them as ’Nodes,’ they established a strange magnetic field that completely sealed Taiji Palace.

At the same time.

A series of sounds disturbed by electromagnetic interference came from all around.

"These carefully selected Forbidden Army should be able to hold out for over half an hour...

I never expected to stumble over ’Qi Luck’; if I’m not mistaken, it’s probably due to some opportunity you gained on the days you lost your way at Moon God Mountain?

It seems you brought back something extraordinary that helped the Tomb Lord’s body recover.

This puts me in a difficult position... I had initially calculated the time, as long as I send you, the traitor, into the Heavenly Prison, I could take the opportunity to become a Ministry of War and gain the chance to be alone with the Tomb Lord.

Since things have developed into the worst-case scenario in my plan, I’m forced to go with a worse contingency plan.

Although not ideal, killing you will still suffice."

Han Dong’s Demon Eye faintly discerned the presence of some kind of dust substance in the shadows of the Taiji Palace.

"Minister Shentu! Hurry into His Majesty’s canopy... You’ve perused her memory data, you may already be marked by ’consciousness’ and easily be completely controlled."

Who would have thought.

This irritable Ministry of War simply did not heed Han Dong’s advice.

The development of the situation indeed originated from his issue... If it wasn’t for his credulousness towards Chen Xinying’s words, he would naturally not have brought her to the Taiji Palace, and this event threatening the safety of the Emperor would not have occurred.

His impetuous and loyal nature compelled him to attempt to redeem his faults by executing the true rebel on the spot.

Layers of heat waves spread out, with a layer of flame covering his body to protect himself from invasion... Shentu Yang used his breath perception to search for the target’s location.

Just as Han Dong had guessed.

Due to relationships within the Ministry of War, Shentu Yang had multiple encounters with Chen Xinran, even personally examining her brain memory... Some sort of branding was already imprinted in Shentu Yang’s brain.

Today, during the audience with the Saint, she also mentioned wanting the Tomb Lord to examine the memory, which once examined would also be similarly marked, facilitating future possession.

Unfortunately, the Tomb Lord was already vigilant and today was merely cooperating with Han Dong’s act.

"Damn!"

Too late to stop, and not knowing how to.

A kind of dust substance straddling reality and illusion had already adhered to Shentu Yang’s body, unaffected by high temperatures and Corpse Energy flames, even disregarding the zombie’s skin and black iron shell, penetrating the body.

Han Dong also realized that this adhesion was very similar to the demonstration he had been shown before.

"This is the true meaning of [Possession]! Just now it was only through mental coordination with the Talisman Paper that indirectly controlled the Brocade Robe Guards, using them to lock down the Taiji Palace.

Have they entirely given up on controlling the Emperor, planning to have a decisive battle to the death using Shentu Yang’s body against me?"

Even if Shentu Yang’s own consciousness was unyielding.

But driven by an irresistible force, he was instantly sent to the grey-black ’Isolation Zone’.

Roughly ten seconds.

The pupils of his eyes mixed with a grey-black substance, like specks of dust landing on the surface of the eyeballs.

The voice that came from Shentu Yang’s mouth had changed to one similar to an electronic interference.

"Such a tenacious consciousness, actually resisting for ten seconds... Ah, there’s really no other way, I can only use this shell. In terms of priority, I’ve ranked Shentu Yang as fourth level, and there are still a few strong bodies in the court that are not bad.

For example, Academician Du whom you, Han Dong, stole away.

This kind of long-term attachment is really troublesome; only after I kill you and return to the Tower can I spend some Fate Points to remove the shell.

What a pity to waste so many precious years and such a suitable shell.

Shentu Yang’s body is too large; I’ll have to make some adjustments."

As she spoke, a grey-black Ghost Substance could be visibly attached to Shentu Yang’s body surface.

Immediately afterward.

Crack!

A noise like compressing steel spread throughout the Inner Palace.

Shentu Yang’s immensely sturdy body and black iron embedded in his skin were actually compressed inward by the Ghost Substance... It was like a material collapse occurring.

Even his head was severely deformed in the process of compression, with all features being squeezed together.

His originally towering stature of over three meters was compressed to match the common women’s physique of ’Chen Xinying’.

Rather than hindering movement, it emitted an even more intense sensation of searing heat.

An even more astonishing event occurred.

Ubo Refi disdainfully removed the two hefty weapons carefully crafted by Shentu Yang.

"What good materials, turned into such useless brass and scrap iron, such a waste..."

So saying.

The weapons were also enveloped by the Ghost Substance.

What followed next left everyone in astonishment.

These weapons, under the effect of the Ghost Substance, underwent atomic-level disassembly and reassembly... while also compressing the atomic spacing, constructing a perfect weapon suited for a female physique.

"To actually be able to perform atomic disassembly on inorganic matter, what kind of creature is this?

Chen Li, assist me!

Nicole, prepare to merge deeply with me..."
