My Cell Prison

Chapter 340: Tactics
Time rewinds.

As the amusement park manager – [Lamp] personally came to the lower level of the lighthouse to question the head nurse.

The operation to contain patients in the lighthouse’s lower zone had been carried out.

Floor Three – Ward 0309.

Right when the chief doctor and a nurse in white were preparing to leave after securing and hanging up Strange Story, who had attempted to escape its cell, and filing related records.

It seemed like a current of air blew into the lock of the ward’s door.

The bubblegum stuck in the lock inflated into a red smiley face balloon.

When the observant doctor approached to inspect this peculiar balloon, he was completely engulfed by the inflated balloon within a split second, and the pink chewing gum components were absorbed into his skin.

In just three seconds, the doctor was replaced.

Transformed into a clown with white paint smeared all over his face.

Detecting the ambush, the nurse immediately launched her syringe arms and scalpel legs…

Unexpectedly, the clown pulled a giant wooden hammer out of his white coat.

Bam! With one swing of the hammer, the nurse was completely flattened and killed instantly.

The soundproofing in the ward was excellent, and nothing could be heard from outside.

“Hmm… hmm…..”

The strange tale that was hung and wrapped inside the ward mumbled and pleaded for help, as if it recognized the clown as one of their own.

“Come, open wide!”

The clown, emanating a friendly smile, approached the strange tale, immersing himself in the role of a doctor.

Using a tongue depressor from his pocket, he pryed open the mouth of the bizarre narrative.

It looked like he was inspecting something, but he was actually tossing a slick parasite down the strange tale’s throat.

Correct.

The parasite came from the parasitic body in [The Return of the Clown (Surface Chapter)], which Han Dong handed over to the Swollen Doctor for research, while also retaining a child parasite for future use.

At present, it was just about right to hand it over to the clown who was also adept at using parasites.

As long as the strange tales were not spirit bodies, these parasites could work quite effectively.

“The connection seems successful….”

The clown lifted the eyelid of the strange tale, and after observing the change in its pupils through a mini flashlight, he smiled satisfactorily.

He didn’t hurry to undo the strange tale’s restraint, letting the parasite slowly take over and adapt to the full body of the strange tale.

The clown mysteriously pulled out a comb from somewhere, tidied up his coiffed hair, and walked out of the ward.

Leaning on the corridor railing, he looked down at the first floor filled with syringes.

He watched as [Lamp] led a newly composed head nurse towards the underground Regulatory Office.

The clown, because of his nervousness, wiped the sweat trickling down his forehead.

“Phew… What a dangerous guy!

If the flashlight were to shine directly on me, I would probably be annihilated… If it weren’t for the fact that Nicholas promised me my ‘special request’, I would never have helped him out.

Why must this kid take risks, wouldn’t it be great to get through all this safely?

My main body is still in [Old Derry Town] waiting for him.”

The clown’s appearance here was indeed arranged by Han Dong.

Since Han Dong couldn’t gauge the final resting place of Mr. Aha or the potential dangers within the lighthouse. He had the clown carry out an individual investigation of the lighthouse.

With the new properties of his gum body, the clown transformed into a single piece of chewing gum, stuffed carelessly into the ward’s lock hole, hidden.

When Han Dong went to the regulatory office for the rescue, he would definitely attract the manager’s attention.

Han Dong was certain that the one he was rescuing must be an important figure, which could prompt the manager to come personally… at this point, it would be the opportunity for the clown to act.

With this window of opportunity, the clown would be successfully launched into the heart of the lighthouse.

Regarding deception.

The Clown was no exception, having once successfully deceived Cass and his group in Derry Town.

Now that the [Lighthouse] had gone to the Regulatory Office.

With his doctor’s identity, the Clown became a bit more reckless.

Put on the earphones and play a high energy dance song.

His leather shoes followed the beat, stepping into each room containing strange tales one by one and giving each of them a parasitic body prepared in advance into their mouths, vaccinating them one by one.

……

Inside the sewers.

Besides the naive Winry who didn’t notice anything abnormal.

In fact, both Abe and Mia had somewhat figured out Han Dong’s thoughts.

Mia had already acquired a ‘Demon Sword’ that could be used at the Knight Stage. When she could get the third stage reward, she didn’t think about anything else and decisively left Fate Space.

Only Abe was looking at Han Dong, temporarily not leaving.

“You started planning before entering the lighthouse, didn’t you?

One of the gumballs you had me put into the keyhole smelled different… It must be some kind of plan you left behind, right?”

“Yes.” Han Dong was surprised that Abe had identified the gumball corresponding to the Clown by smell.

Han Dong explained: “However, I didn’t initially think that the [Lighthouse] would involve a high-level mainline, and even bring out the [Node].

Since I coincidentally planted an ‘opportunity’ in the lighthouse in advance, I naturally want to seize the [Node].

As you said, Abe, leasing this place to Fate Space would earn a fixed number of points each year.

I am still young, if I can accumulate points in advance, maybe, in a few years when I become a formal knight, I could directly exchange for a knight’s equipment or material that suits me perfectly in the ‘Dyson Sphere’.

Everyone will die someday… Even the captains can’t guarantee that they won’t die in a [Crusaders’ Expedition].

Since the opportunity has come, I must seize it with all my might.”

Abe didn’t deny this point, and continued to ask: “Why didn’t you tell everyone…You contributed the most to this Fate event. If you want to fight for the Node, everyone would have helped you.”

Han Dong gave a simple answer:

“It’s harder to work with more people…Mia is fundamentally interest-oriented and is not willing to take risks.

Winry lacks experience, although she has terrifying powers, they aren’t very useful when confronting garden managers.”

“What about me?”

Han Dong spoke in a low voice:

“Abe, your potential is evaluated as surpassing Captain Kaimon, and you will be an important pillar of the Holy City in the future… you don’t need to, and can’t, take this risk with me.

Go and claim your reward, I will come back.”

Abe showed a helpless smile and said softly: “The future of the Holy City…When I was studying with my teacher and grandfather, they also liked to talk about those things that are far away from me.

If I can’t even protect my team members, what’s the point to talk about protecting the entire human race?

I can’t leave you here alone… I have a backup plan for this five-star event which I haven’t yet used.

After it’s done, the ultimate Node will be all yours.”

“Abe…What we’re about to face is an event beyond five-star level! The mortality rate will be very high, and we can’t make any mistakes.”

“Okay.”

At that moment.

Abe’s Hundred Beast aura burst out from within him, filling the entire sewer district with the roars of beasts.

His strong arm tightly hugged Han Dong.

“Don’t worry, I won’t slow you down… I’ve been specifically trained in stealth by three mentors.”

In this way, the two men took the boat back into the inner layer of the garden.

Of course, with Mr. Aha and Origin Granny being rescued, the atmosphere of the entire garden area had changed…
