Temporary Enhancement

"Could this be the birthplace of Bella!?"

To understand the connections between things.

These are skills that Han Dong learned while pursuing his degree.

This ability is essential to identifying the right and valuable research topics.

Step into the Main Control Room.

Upon seeing this Human Augmentation device, I immediately associated it with Bella, the Parasitic Variant.

Han Dong touched the test tube hidden in his black robe.

As expected, the parasite reacted quite strongly...

"It's necessary to take a risk."

It wasn't that Han Dong was a saint, constantly thinking about saving this parasitic cute girl.

Instead, Han Dong had already established a friendly relationship with Bella.

Moreover, Bella can be considered a 'frequent visitor' to the ' Middle Layer ' to some extent.

Once Bella regains her senses, she will become the team's guide, facilitating their exploration of the Middle Layer.

At that time, the "Weirdo Squad" will have another "parasitic cute girl".

With this in mind, Han Dong set off immediately.

He had to kill the Human Aberration before it left the container.

To ensure the integrity of the glass container, it is necessary to re-cultivate Bella's parasite.

The clown was astonished to see Han Dong, who had attacked before him, making a move even faster than himself.

"Oh my... you really couldn't resist."

"In that case, I'll leave everything here to you and your girlfriend. I'll go find a map inside."

The clown showed no intention of making a move and walked straight into the depths of the Main Control Room.

Open the iron door of the inner Monitoring Room and search for "Sewerage Map (Distorted Version)".

The clown's departure means that Han Dong will be dealing with twelve ' Human Aberration ' here.

They haven't been fully transformed yet, and are slightly weaker than Bella... but all twelve of them combined are definitely stronger than Bella.

but.

After confirming that the clown had gone to the inner cubicle, Han Dong was not flustered at all.

As long as the clown isn't present, Han Dong can use his hidden 'special ability'.

Han Dong doesn't need to 'go easy' on these guys from the Underground Sewer.

"Let Bella use this container."

Han Dong immediately applied it to the surface of the nearest container.

The human inside the container, wearing a breathing mask, was covered in hair, with extra 'fleshy balls' on his palms, and his eyes glowed with a green, eerie light... a kind of enhanced beast-like transformation, similar to a feline.

However, Han Dong would never give this person the chance to fully transform into a beast.

Clang!

The Ghoul Claw pried open the jar lid.

Before the thing inside had fully mutated, I yanked it out of the container!

Han Dong's palm was pressed against the other person's crown.

Foreign object moving!

Whoosh! A spotted tentacle sprouted... piercing through the skull, heading straight for the brain, and invading with contamination!

Splash! Black Filth everywhere.

This poor thing, which had not yet fully mutated, turned into a puddle of liquid filth in a few seconds, without even a chance to struggle.

Han Dong's current skill in using tentacles is not quite masterful, but it is still quite proficient.

However, we still need to consider the issue of energy consumption.

If Han Dong releases these tentacles seven times in a row, he will be completely dizzy and weak.

In addition, the palm tentacles must be released close to the body, otherwise the hit rate will be very low and the effect will be poor.

In the battles to come, it's impossible to rely entirely on this move.

Clang~ Clang~ (A series of sounds of breaking glass)

Just as Han Dong was dealing with one of the mutants, the remaining eleven had already broken free of their restraints.

They can crush, tear, or shatter the glass containers that hold them.

She ripped off their breathing masks and various tubes, staring intently at Han Dong with a hateful gaze... as if she wanted to vent all the resentment they felt from being tortured here.

Beastmen, elemental manipulators, Muscle Enhancer, and even a Lizardman has shed his human form and grown a tail.

Each person who runs to New Derry Town may trigger a small side story.

"Mr. Han Dong, how should we deal with this?"

"You'll handle this alone."

"Hmm? I... I'm confident in a one-on-one fight, but there are too many of them!"

You can do it.

After speaking, Han Dong took out a leather-stitched book from his backpack—"The Book of the Dead — The Ocular Codex"

This book has appeared once.

The mutants, who were originally prepared to attack en masse, all showed surprise, especially the perceptive Lizardman, who quickly retreated and hid in the darkness.

"Miss Chen Li, stay calm... don't give in to depravity."

"You want to!?"

"Okay, temporarily boost your attributes."

Han Dong opened the first chapter of the book, which corresponded to a short chapter titled "Evil Qi Conversion".

Han Dong bit his finger, drew the corresponding array on his palm, and then stuck it on the back of Chen Li's head.

The effect of this formation is very simple: it can temporarily convert energy of any attribute into 'evil energy'.

Chen Li's "Evil Refining" attribute is just right.

However, this evil energy cannot be refined; it can only be supplied to Chen Li temporarily and cannot permanently enhance her strength.

Han Dong planned to use it against the Joker at the last moment of "It (Preface)"... Now that the Joker is gone, it's a good time to test the amplification effect.

As the Seed Energy in Han Dong's head continued to be consumed, streams of dense evil energy were frantically poured into Chen Li's head.

"Containment subject [Possessed Chen Li] has been temporarily enhanced, her combat rating has risen to D+, and she has gained the ability to manipulate evil energy."

Combat ability improved from D- to D+.

It doesn't seem like much.

The actual changes, however, are enormous.

In an instant, Chen Li's eyes were completely Stain Black.

The right arm holding the cleaver showed off sinister stripes.

A large amount of evil energy overflowed from the palm.

The evil energy manifested itself, covering the surface of the kitchen knife, thus arming the weapon with evil energy.

The original ten-centimeter-long kitchen knife is transformed into a fifty-centimeter-long Evil Blade... Each strike will be accompanied by "Dark Attribute" damage.

"Leave it to me... I will kill them."

Chen Li's entire demeanor changed!

Without any hesitation, he charged straight into the ranks of the mutants, taking on ten opponents at once.

However, not all the mutants were paying attention to Chen Li.

The Lizard Boy, lurking in the shadows, seemed to be highly intelligent and realized that Han Dong was the main target.

Find an opening and attack Han Dong directly from a blind spot.

The lizard's movements were incredibly fast, making it difficult for Han Dong, with his physical abilities, to dodge.

Just as the lizard's tongue, dripping with putrid fluid, was about to wrap around Han Dong's head...

Snap!

Han Dong seemed to have 'foreseen' all of this.

Two seconds in advance, I dodged to the side and stretched out my Ghoul Arm to firmly grab the lizard's tongue that was being shot at me... with perfect accuracy.

[Opening Eye]

A crack appeared between Han Dong's eyebrows.

Jili~ Jili (wriggling sound)

A unique eye is slowly opening.

In an instant, the air became polluted!

It was with the help of this eye that Han Dong was able to see through all the details and distinguish between truth and falsehood in this Destiny Event.
