Portable Prison

Portable Prison

'Faceless One's Head-related abilities activated.'

Han Dong pondered. "The abilities possessed by the head are 'Imitation' and 'Portable Prison'... The first ability is easy enough to understand; it's basically a Disguise Technique."

Earlier, after Han Dong seized the head, it had automatically changed into the appearance he had before his death according to his subconscious.

After taking over the body, it had also perfectly imitated the young man's appearance.

"The second ability... Is it a combination of quantum technology and some kind of magic?"

The moment he successfully took over the body, an iron door appeared in Han Dong's mind.

When he tried to touch the iron door with his consciousness—

Buzz!

A ringing filled his ears, accompanied by a brief mental blank.

When he opened his eyes again, Han Dong was standing inside a cramped, gloomy, and dark prison.

It was a prison that truly existed, not merely a mental image.

The prison was small, consisting of only a corridor, a cell, and a secret chamber... It was completely different from the prison where he had searched for a body before.

Excluding the secret chamber, the entire place was less than thirty square meters.

"Is this the so-called 'Subspace Containment Technology'? An internal space formed through interference by the brain's subjective consciousness... How incredible."

The corridor was ordinary, with nothing noteworthy about it.

Han Dong first stepped into the cell enclosed by iron bars on one side and immediately discovered something strange.

At first glance, the cell seemed to be made of ordinary black stone.

But upon closer inspection, faint tentacles could be seen drifting between the cracks in those black stone blocks.

"Earlier, when I moved with the help of the head, similar tentacles grew from my neck, though they looked more like mycelium... But the tentacles in this cell are different."

Dark tentacles wriggled back and forth wherever there was a crack... Staring at them for too long made Han Dong deeply uncomfortable.

Just Then, a notification appeared.

Faceless One's Prison

Individual compatibility: Perfect (the individual can perfectly control the prison and will not suffer backlash from excessive use)

Size: Extremely small. Number of lifeforms that can be contained: 1 (upgrading Faceless One's Head will increase the prison's size)

Usage: When a target lifeform falls into a weakened state, touch it and activate Portable Prison to contain it.

Note:

① After Faceless One's Head is upgraded, its Weight Limit requirement will increase. Please reserve at least 50 points of Weight Limit in advance, otherwise the upgrade will fail.

② Do not attempt to contain creatures in good condition. If containment fails, it will inflict severe damage on the host, and the prison will also sustain a certain degree of damage.

③ In special environments, or when the host is under attack from other creatures, it will be impossible to transfer yourself into Portable Prison.

"Faceless One's Prison? It can contain lifeforms?"

The First Time Han Dong thought of the 'mutants' that had chased the metal carriage in this world.

As for containing ordinary humans, Han Dong would never consider it... Containing humans was not only a crime, but also crossed his moral bottom line.

If he could truly contain a mutant or some magical creature, he could conduct biological research on it.

Han Dong temporarily left the cell that sent chills down his spine and headed for the adjacent secret chamber instead.

The room was completely sealed. Through the cracks in the outer black stone, he could even glimpse the white metal walls within.

The entrance to the secret chamber was sealed by a heavy iron door, which had to be opened by turning the Hydraulic Valve on it.

Han Dong had assumed that such a weak body would find it difficult to turn that valve.

Yet the moment his palm touched the disc-shaped valve's surface, it seemed to recognize Han Dong's biological information, and the valve began turning on its own.

Creak!

The heavy metal door swung open as well.

The instant he stepped into the secret chamber, the danger and oppressive atmosphere brought by the prison vanished.

He lifted a sheet of antibacterial film and passed through a narrow buffer room.

A Sterile Laboratory that Han Dong found incomparably familiar appeared before him... pristine white walls, suitable temperature and humidity, and adjustable lighting.

It formed a stark contrast with the prison outside.

However, compared with the laboratory Han Dong had used before his death... this sterile room was relatively small, and its equipment was far from complete.

Inside were only an ultra-clean workbench against the wall and a display stand positioned in the center of the room.

The former was used for microbial inoculation experiments.

Inside the latter's glass display case lay a special syringe.

"A Sterile Laboratory inside a prison... Why is there one here? Could it be related to the Cell Cluster?"

Circling around the display stand, Han Dong first approached the ultra-clean workbench.

To his surprise, he found the Cell Cluster residing in a petri dish. It was about the size of a fingertip and was precisely the physical manifestation from when Han Dong had been reborn.

His intuition told him that if this cluster of cells died, he would be buried alongside it.

The moment Han Dong touched the workbench, a notification sounded:

When specific lifeforms are killed, Cellular Essence can be extracted using the Corpse Syringe.

The collected Cellular Essence can be injected into the Cell Cluster through sterile procedures. The Weight Limit will increase according to the quality and quantity of the Cellular Essence.

Please note:

1. The Corpse Syringe can be taken out at will. It does not matter if it is damaged.

2. The Corpse Syringe can only be used on special creatures that have been dead for no more than five minutes. Cellular Essence cannot be extracted from living creatures or corpses that have been dead for too long.

3. A corpse can only be extracted from once.

Upon hearing the notification, Han Dong hurriedly turned to look at the exquisite syringe inside the display case.

It had a transparent crystal barrel, a brass needle, and metal trim.

"So this is how I increase my cells' Weight Limit!!"

Han Dong was immensely excited.

A problem that had plagued him had been solved. Next, he only needed to determine what counted as a 'special lifeform.'

As long as he could increase the Weight Limit, Han Dong would be able to control a stronger body.

"I still know far too little about this world... This is enough understanding of Portable Prison for now."

Han Dong returned to the corridor. When he pushed open the prison's exit door, he instantly returned to the base of the giant oak tree.

There was no one around, so Han Dong tried to take out the syringe.

Sure enough, as soon as he conveyed the thought of 'take out' through his consciousness, a precision syringe with a brass casing appeared directly in his palm... When he conveyed the thought of 'put away,' the syringe sank beneath his skin on its own.

The process left Han Dong's palm slightly numb.

"There are still many secrets in the prison... For now, I should deal with this young man's affairs first.

"I need to understand his basic family relationships.

"And the reason for his suicide, along with the Clockwork Device on his wrist that is currently counting down."

Han Dong's thoughts were very clear.

Taking over the body was only the simplest first step. Next, he needed to familiarize himself with and adapt to this young man's living environment so that no one would discover that Valen Nicholas had become someone else.

Moreover, the countdown on the clockwork bracelet made Han Dong extremely uneasy.

As usual during the new book period, there will be two updates every day... If you don't want to follow the updates, you can save them up first, but remember to vote~~
