My Cell Prison-Chapter 741 - : Port
Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Port
The battle ended.
All the filth was burned to ashes by the Holy Flame, leaving only an unburnable object behind.
It wasn’t the skeleton of the fish monster but some metal coins.
It seemed that a normal currency circulated in the dream world.
An image of a weird creature resembling a ‘Long-bearded broccoli’ was inscribed on one side of the coin, while the flip side featured a pattern of an ancient Roman palace with a strong three-dimensional attribute.
Considering they might be needed later, Han Dong put all the coins into his pouch. These coins, having undergone the burning of the Holy Flame, posed no danger.
...
After the battle, one crucial thing was confirmed – [The Conch Respirator].
The upcoming battles would be different.
Whether it’s attacking the enemy or defending oneself, the respirator would be the key… Of course, it’s also possible that certain beings residing in the port town didn’t require respirators.
Firstly, Han Dong summoned three crows and sent them a hundred meters up into the sky.
He confirmed the overlapping nature of dreams.
The group still found themselves on the same island with the same port city on the west coast… However, when viewed through the crow’s eyes, the entire port was shrouded in a hazy mist, preventing any long-distance view.
After briefly explaining the current environment, the detailed investigation officially began.
A temporary four-person team was established with clear division of tasks.
Having reached the ‘fourth tier’ and being the oldest, Diz acted as the captain of the dream team and the mid-range shooter of the group.
Boasting overwhelming attack power, Lucius served as the main damage dealer of the team.
From the recent battle, it was evident that Lucius’s blood sword could shatter crucial conch respirators, making him the sharpest spear of the team.
Vino acted as the team’s defensive support in her role as a Fighting Nun.
During intense combat, she would use the Holy Shield and chains, co-operating with Lucius in close combat.
Generally, all Vino needed to do was to provide enhancement blessings and cleanse the tainted teammates on a spiritual level.
As for Han Dong.
Based on his performance in the battle and efficiency in gathering information, he acted as the team’s ‘scout,’ essentially a reconnaissance soldier.
And so it was.
The temporary dream team headed for the port town again to investigate the origin of this case.
On the way.
Perhaps due to the environment, or the mental fatigue brought into the dream, Vino Silist felt a wave of drowsiness sweeping across her brain.
Even though the drowsiness was immediately dispelled by the sacred spirit of the nun.
But in that instant, Vino had the feeling of ‘tentacle shadows looming around her and strange whispers lingering in her ears,’ causing goosebumps all over her arms.
Vino immediately raised a question:
“What would happen if we slept in the dream? Or can we not sleep at all?”
Han Dong hurriedly explained: “Of course it’s okay to sleep… Even in real life, we often experience ‘dream within a dream.’
But the dream within a dream here would be different, and falling asleep may cause big troubles.
Just like how people in the surface world need to fall asleep through the conch, or else they would undergo rapid degeneration and become fallen instantly.
Falling asleep in the dream might also require some special method.
Before we have fully investigated, everyone must stay alert and beware of the [Drowsiness Invasion] during the investigation. Watch out for each other and never fall asleep.”
Maybe because years ago, Knight Vino’s ‘worldview’ was completely subverted by Han Dong.
At this moment, the ‘sense of safety’ she felt when Han Dong provided explanations was much stronger than that brought by Captain Diz in her own ‘Silver Edge’ squad.

Vino believed that Han Dong was destined to be a world-changer.
…
It was an island that seemed identical to the surface.
In reality, many ‘details’ had changed.
The concrete road to the town and the trees on both sides were overflowing with seawater.
Dead fish were scattered everywhere,
Shells and starfishes grew on tree trunks,
The bodies of large fish remained in the woods. Even in the clearing in the woods, they found a giant whale, about 50% of which had turned into a skeleton… Its abdominal cavity was stuffed with human skulls, which was unsettling.
How did such marine creatures appear all over the island?
Were they swept onto the island by a hurricane, were they brought down directly by heavy rain, or perhaps part of the island was originally underwater and had risen above the sea surface for some reason?
With these questions in mind, the four of them came to a small hill where they could overlook the entire town.
The view in front of them was almost identical to the town they remembered, with the only difference being that all the pedestrians wore conch respirators.
“The port … seems to be closed?”
With the long-distance vision provided by the Little Demon Eye, Han Dong discovered that the docks that were supposed to be lined tightly along the coast had been completely dismantled.
There was not a single steamship sailing out to sea.
A three-meter-high steel sea dam had been set up along the entire coastline, and there were even some strong, unidentified figures patrolling the area.
“Hmm… the ‘Dream Entry’ isn’t on the sea here?”
“Nicholas, what are you saying? What do you mean by ‘Entry’ not on the sea?”
Vino, who was paying close attention to Han Dong, deliberately came very close to him, inadvertently saw the movement of Han Dong’s lips, and managed to decipher some information.
Taken by surprise by Vino’s lip-reading skills, Han Dong hurriedly explained, “Nothing, I mean… the key this time doesn’t seem to be the sea.
The residents have closed off the port, so maybe the secret in the dream world is hidden in the town.
Let’s go in and take a look.”
“How do we enter? Sneak in?” Vino asked.
Tap tap tap… Han Dong’s fingers rapped against the facial respirator, “This is the best disguise. In the dream world, we belong to the same kind as them – ‘Dreamers’.”
As Han Dong said,
The four of them walked on the filthy streets and were completely accepted as their own by the residents.
The reason they were attacked previously was simply because they were mistaken for ‘unclean resurrects’ by the man with the pushcart.
If they wanted to gather information,
The best and most legitimate place to do so was at the bar.
[Captain Parson’s Boots]
The sign of the bar was covered with a lot of shells, and even a pair of long boots filled with mud hung genuinely at one end.
Ring, ring, ring…
With a wet leather shoe, Han Dong hobbled his way to the bar counter.
Water was flowing on the surface of the bar counter, with a few crabs crawling around it.
Thump!
A dark black coin was pushed onto the counter, and he pointed at a bottle of alcohol on the shelf.
Seeing the bartender use the tentacles on his respirator, he wrapped them around his hand and began to make a drink.
The other three companions also came up to the bar one after the other, looking around the bizarre bar area.
Just then,
Han Dong sensed something and looked towards the staircase leading to the second floor of the bar.
Shadows of octopus tentacles flashed past.
“Brethren!! Take Nicole and go quickly!”
