My Cell Prison

Chapter 407: Omen and Reality

Ten minutes passed.

Han Dong had essentially shed the hard, angular spurs that covered his body.

Looking like an exhausted ‘mad dog’, he returned to his original form. His frantic three-kilometer run combined with the deep activation of G-virus had nearly drained all of Han Dong’s energy.

If Han Dong could perfectly master the G-virus, who knows what level his right arm would have achieved.

From a biological perspective, those with a genetic chain structure within their body cells have infinite potential. However, humans themselves do not possess or have the ability to utilize this potential.

It’s like a heavy door tightly locked. All current life sciences research by humanity can barely glimpse through the peephole in this door.

Unfortunately.

The G-virus might just be one of the keys to unlocking this door.

Once the door is opened, there’s still a long road to be walked…with considerable risk attached to each step.

…

Whoosh!

There were still too many spikes that hadn’t shed automatically; Han Dong had to forcibly pull them out.

“Phew…The difficulty of the [Deep Sea Stalker] was way higher than that of the Cold Spider incident.

I didn’t expect that there would be even more terrifying creatures hidden in the mist, and that they would attack their own kind. Is this what they called a sequence film?

I would be dead if there was any hesitation or any mistake made during the process.”

After all the spikes were removed, Han Dong’s blood stained the rooftop of the supermarket.

To avoid attracting unnecessary trouble, Han Dong sandified all his spilt blood.

Exhausted, powerless, and with some mental disorder due to the horrifying and indescribable things he had witnessed, Han Dong sits on the supermarket rooftop to recuperate with Duo Zeya massaging his shoulders and back.

“How many people made it back alive, Duo Zeya?”

“We only lost two old-timers who couldn’t keep up with the team and were impregnated by some kind of bug…we had to abandon them.”

“Well done.”

With the help of Duo Zeya, they survived the Omen incident successfully.

When Han Dong officially returns to the interior of the supermarket, he will be able to settle the Omen reward and gain 3 Omen points.

However, Han Dong believes that the most significant gain from this Deep Sea Stalker incident was the ‘insights’…from which he was able to draw some significant conclusions about the Fate Space.

This will significantly enhance Han Dong’s subsequent handling of the plot.

“What…what’s going on?

I found that some of my black magic has been weakened, and the effects are not very good…and your energy, sir, is not as powerful as before.”

“This Fate event is strange. There’s still a lot I don’t understand. I’ll discuss it with you when I find out more.

Also, Duo Zeya, you only have an hour each time you appear.

There are a little over twenty minutes left, and I need you to do something else.”

“Okay…all right.”

After Duo Zeya saw the giant tentacles chasing Han Dong, his timidity surfaced again.

“Document all the monsters you saw in the mist in a book, using both illustrations and text.”

“That’s easy!”

Duo Zeya was apparent eager to get started on the harmless task.

With the help of black magic, he could imprint the memory images from his mind perfectly onto the paper.

Then, through Duo Zeya’s own understanding, he wrote down descriptive text related to these images.

Han Dong collected a series of information from the illustrations. This information would undoubtedly be utilized in the future.

Time was up!

Duo Zeya’s originally bright black eyes immediately became dull.

A traction force from the card acted on Duo Zeya’s body.

He was quickly drawn back into the black-bordered ‘Ally Card’ for the next use.

Han Dong also quietly jumped off the roof and walked to the nearest street corner.

Wearing clothes torn from the G-virus transformation, he looked severely injured as he returned to the front door of the supermarket.

Protagonist David immediately opened the door and, together with a doctor, came forward to assist Han Dong.

“They’re just skin lesions…there doesn’t seem to be anything else wrong.”

David and the others immediately relaxed after hearing the doctor’s diagnosis.

Otherwise, they would have treated Han Dong in the same way as those infested with spider eggs.

At the same time, they saw that Han Dong, the peculiar writer from out of town, had shown even stronger adaptability in such an environment than they did.

Even without knowing Han Dong’s special attributes, they considered him to be a powerful fighting force among the villagers.

After all, on the transport truck, Han Dong was the first to react and killed a terrifying Octopus Soldier with the fire axe in his hand.

“What are you idiots doing crowding in my room? Can’t you see I’m injured? Get out, don’t disturb my rest.”

This time Han Dong didn’t need a conversation guide, he responded directly and fittingly with his character.

David and others looked embarrassed and let the irate brother have the employee resting room to himself.

…

Click!

Han Dong sealed the door with yellow sand because he needed some time alone.

The moment Han Dong returned to the supermarket, the ending message of the Omen also came along.

He got 3 Omen points.

Han Dong sat at the iron table in deep thought.

The first thing that needed to be pondered was the nature of [Omen-Deep Sea Stalker].

Because before the Omen came, the soldiers had arrived… The ‘Omen Card’ that Han Dong randomly drew happened to be related to the soldiers, was it coincidence or inevitable?

“Speaking of that, if I had drawn an ‘Omen Card’ that was unrelated to these soldiers, would we have been rescued…

I guess the chances are slim.

If it was another kind of Omen Card, it would still have appeared during the rescue process as well.

Even if soldiers didn’t mutate into octopi, the convoy might have been wiped out by a terrifying lifeform on the way.

Or, could it be that the soldiers coming for us is a grand ruse for luring us into the mouth of some terrifying monster in the mist?

Wait a minute…

In short, the ‘Omen Card’ must be random.

Once an Omen Card is drawn, a part of reality changes due to the Omen.”

Han Dong opened his notebook, emphasizing [Omen] and lessening the importance of [Reality].

Next, he proceeded to conjecture the second important issue.

“Why did these deep-sea creatures disguise themselves as soldiers and lure the villagers out of the supermarket?

The fact proved that they have enough power to directly breach the supermarket and seize all the villagers.

Moreover, the Deep Sea Phantom chasing me also stopped its attack when nearing the supermarket.

What’s the reason?

Are there any rules prohibiting them from breaking into the supermarket, or…is it that the supermarket itself provokes their fear?

If it’s the latter, why would something as small as a supermarket invoke fear among the monsters?

Could it be that this supermarket hides something even more terrifying?”

A flash of inspiration made Han Dong feel as though he had stumbled upon important clue to “Mist”… The clues were hidden within the supermarket.

With the end of the contemplation.

A piece of quality white paper appeared on the iron table in front of him.

“‘Draft Two’ picked up”.
