My Cell Prison

5. Chapter 5 Portable Prison · Chapter 5: Portable Prison · "[Related abilities for the Head of the Faceless have been activated.]" · Han Dong pondered, "The abilities of the head are 'Imitation' and 'Portable Prison'... The first one is easy to understand; it's essentially a form of shapeshifting." · Previously, after Han Dong claimed the head, it had automatically transformed into his past appearance based on his subconscious. · After occupying the physical body, it had also perfectly imitated the youth's features. · "The second ability... is it a combination of quantum technology and some kind of magical method?" · The moment the physical occupation succeeded, an iron door appeared in Han Dong's consciousness. · When he tried to touch the iron door with his mind— · Hum! · A ringing sound in his ears was accompanied by a brief moment of mental emptiness. · When he opened his eyes again, Han Dong found himself inside a small, eerie, and dark prison. · It was a tangible prison that truly existed, not just a mental image. · The prison was small, consisting only of a corridor, a cell, and a Secret Room... completely different from the prison where he had searched for a body. · Excluding the Secret Room, the entire area was less than thirty square meters. · "Is this the so-called 'Sub-dimensional Containment Technology'? An internal space formed through the intervention of the brain's subjective consciousness... Truly miraculous." · The corridor was ordinary, with nothing noteworthy. · 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. · However, upon closer inspection, he noticed faint tentacles floating within the cracks between the black stone blocks. · "Earlier, when I was moving using only the head, similar tentacles grew from the neck, though those were morphologically more like mycelium... but these tentacles in the cell walls are different." · Wherever there were cracks, dark tentacles could be seen writhing back and forth... staring at them for too long made Han Dong feel very uncomfortable. · Just then, a notification arrived. · "[Prison of the Faceless] · Individual Compatibility: Perfect (The individual can perfectly control the prison without suffering backlash from overuse). · Scale: Tiny. Capacity: 1 biological entity (Upgrading the 'Head of the Faceless' will increase the prison's scale). · Usage: When a target lifeform enters a weakened state, make physical contact and activate the Portable Prison to initiate containment. · Notes: · ①. Upgrading the 'Head of the Faceless' will increase the Weight Capacity requirement. Please reserve at least 50 Weight points in advance, or the upgrade will fail. · ②. Do not attempt to contain biological entities in good condition. If containment fails, it will cause significant damage to the host and the prison itself. · ③. In special environments or while the host is under attack by other creatures, self-transportation to the 'Portable Prison' will be unavailable." · ...... · "Prison of the Faceless? It can contain biological entities?" · The first thing Han Dong thought of were the 'Aberrants' chasing the metal carriage in this world. · As for containing ordinary humans, Han Dong wouldn't even consider it... imprisoning humans was both a criminal act and crossed his personal moral baseline. · If he could truly contain an Aberrant or some kind of magical creature, he could conduct biological research. · Han Dong temporarily exited the cell that made his skin crawl and headed to the adjacent [Secret Room]. · It was a completely sealed room; through the cracks in the outer black stone, one could even glimpse the white metal walls inside. · The main entrance to the Secret Room was sealed by a heavy iron door that required turning a hydraulic valve to open. · Han Dong had thought it would be difficult to turn such a valve with this weak physical body. · To his surprise, when his palm landed on the disc-shaped valve, it seemed to recognize his biometric information, and the valve turned on its own. · Creak! · The heavy metal door swung outward. · The moment he stepped into the Secret Room, the sense of danger and oppression brought by the prison instantly vanished. · He lifted a sterile film curtain and passed through a narrow buffer zone. · An Aseptic Laboratory, which Han Dong was incredibly familiar with, appeared before his eyes... clean white walls, appropriate temperature and humidity, and adjustable light intensity. · It stood in stark contrast to the prison outside. · However, compared to the laboratory Han Dong used in his past life... this aseptic room was relatively small and not as well-equipped. · Inside, there was only an ultra-clean workbench against the wall and a display stand positioned in the center of the room. · The former was for microbial inoculation experiments. · Inside the glass case of the latter sat a specialized syringe. · "This... why is there an Aseptic Laboratory inside the prison? Could it be related to the 'cell colony'?" · Bypassing the display stand, Han Dong first went to the ultra-clean workbench. · He unexpectedly found the cell colony resting inside a Petri dish. It was about the size of a finger—exactly the manifestation of his physical state when he was reborn. · Intuition told him that if this colony died, he would be buried with it. · As Han Dong touched the workbench, a notification sounded: · "When killing specific lifeforms, 'Cell Essence' can be extracted using the 'Corpse Syringe.' · The collected 'Cell Essence' can be injected into the 'Primary Cell Body' through aseptic procedures. Depending on the quality and quantity of the Cell Essence, the Weight Capacity limit will increase. · Please note: · 1. The 'Corpse Syringe' can be accessed at will; its destruction does not matter. · 2. The 'Corpse Syringe' can only be used on special creatures that have been dead for no more than five minutes. It cannot extract 'Cell Essence' from living beings or corpses that have been dead for too long. · 3. Extraction can only be performed once per corpse." · Hearing the prompt, Han Dong quickly turned to look at the exquisite syringe on the display stand. · A transparent crystal tube, a brass needle, and metal trim. · "So this is how I increase the cell Weight Capacity limit!!" · Han Dong was extremely excited. · A problem that had been troubling him was solved; next, he just needed to determine what constituted a 'special lifeform.' · As long as he could increase the Weight Capacity, Han Dong could command a stronger physical body. · "I still know too little about this world... that's enough exploring the Portable Prison for now." · Han Dong retreated to the corridor. Upon pushing open the prison exit door, he returned to the base of the giant oak tree in an instant. · Seeing no one around, Han Dong tried to retrieve the syringe. · Sure enough, as his consciousness transmitted the thought of 'retrieving,' a precision copper-cased syringe appeared directly in his palm... and as he thought 'withdraw,' the syringe merged back under his skin on its own. · The process left a slight tingling sensation in his palm. · "The prison still holds many secrets... but that's enough for now. First, I have to handle the matters regarding this youth. · I must figure out his basic family relationships. · As well as the reason for his suicide and the clockwork device on his wrist that's counting down." · Han Dong’s thinking was very clear. · Claiming the body was only the simplest step. Next, he needed to familiarize himself with and adapt to the environment, ensuring no one discovered that Valen Nicholas had been replaced. · Furthermore, the countdown on the clockwork bracelet made Han Dong very uneasy. · [END]
