Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Head
After discussing the basic information about Miss Jane.
The next topic of interest to Han Dong was information about the supply channels for [Body Trunks].
I believe Miss Jane, as a prosecutor, is well acquainted with individuals from all levels of Derry Town.
“Do you need a ‘Large Capacity’ body trunk? Would a corpse do?”
“It is best if they are alive…” the implication of Han Dong’s words was clear – he wanted the residents of Derry Town.
“You are already a resident of Derry Town, and if you harbor ill intent towards other residents, you will face legal sanctions. However…
You can choose to directly target some fugitives, or defend against residents who aggressively target you, under the pretext of justifiable defense, or against individuals like Dean Richard who attempt to rebel.
In summary, Derry Town has a legal system comparable to human society, and every law-abiding citizen is protected by the law.”
Han Dong certainly understood this, moreover, the Miss Jane standing in front of him was a prosecutor who was dedicated to capturing the ‘bad guys’ in Derry Town.
“Given these conditions, does Miss Jane have a suitable list of individuals?
If it ends up helping you deal with some fugitives or potential threats, wouldn’t it be a win-win?”
“I need some time.
I have a basic understanding of your physical information and abilities…As soon as the town hall has completely investigated Dean Richard’s death, you can come find me for the information.”
“Thank you, Miss Jane.”
The conversation ended here.
During the town hall’s thorough investigation of the hospital incident, those involved were required to stay at their registered address, and Jane didn’t stay for long, she ‘drove’ her cart back to Derry Town alone.
Han Dong, sitting alone in the church, stared at the moon through the stained-glass window.
“Whew… I am lucky, my friendly relationship with Jane also benefited from killing Dean Richard.
Next, prepare to do something big.”
In an instant, a burst of space energy enveloped Han Dong’s entire body, causing him to disappear from the church.
When he returned to the familiar prison area.
Han Dong first stood in the corridor, watching the three people who were healing.
“The difficulty of True Fate has increased, and it became evident immediately… even Nicole is having a hard time catching up.
In this level of event, Miss Chen Li can only deal with minor threats.
Though Togu has potential, he is yet to fully recover.
I need to think of a solution.
If all else fails, I’ll wait till the end of the event, use all the Fate Points on them, and forcibly level them up.
However, for [Togu], let’s first try to find his old place in Derry Town, maybe we can unseal the ‘Demon Engine’.”
Han Dong temporarily put aside the situation of the three of them, turned around and walked towards the laboratory, concentrating on his own affairs.
A tube of quality Cell Essence from Dean Richard was placed at the center, its colors slowly circulating inside.
“So this is the quality essence dropped by a BOSS-level character in True Fate? I have been waiting for this moment.”
Han Dong carefully picked up the syringe and headed to his ‘main body’.
Even though Han Dong had been waiting a long time for this improvement to his skull, he remained composed.
As the syringe approached, the cell colony remaining on the ultra-clean workbench immediately produced a ‘tendency reaction’, it seemed to be eager to eat.
With his skilful injection technique, he gradually introduced the essence into his main body.
“Quality Cell Essence injection underway…”
Han Dong carefully observed his main body, ready to stop the injection at any signs of abnormality.
Who would have thought, the colors which were capable of devouring everything were perfectly absorbed by his main body… For a moment, a hint of color flashed among the cell colony, before returning to its original state.
Not at all influenced by the ‘Star Color’.
Han Dong said to the hidden AI system in the laboratory: “Expand the prison!”
[Upgrading condition (LV.2→LV.3)]
①. Detect that the individual’s available Load Value>150 points (280/600).
②. Quality cell essence detected in sufficient amounts.
③. The body condition, mental state, and energy saturation of the individual>80%.
All three conditions met, the “Faceless Skull LV.3” could be upgraded.
[Time]: The estimated upgrade time is 10~14 hours.
[Success Rate]: 71%
“Proceed with Skull Upgrade?”
“Yes!”
Han Dong’s response came without any hesitation.
In an instant, the appearance disguised as ‘Valen. Nicholas’ disappeared, transforming into a shiny ‘boiled egg’ head.
Krrrk krrrk~
Slippery tentacles drilled out from his neck.
The tentacles climbed up his face against the grain, wrapping around his entire skull, like a cocoon re-breeding.
During this time, Han Dong drifted into a dazed state, his mind floated off into the distance.
He remembered the first time he upgraded his skull, the situation was similar to the current one. Back then, his consciousness drifted to a small port town called Innsmouth, where he spent a strange life as a fisherman.
The memory was hard to brush off.
It even made Han Dong once suspect that the town of Innsmouth really existed in the world. Maybe he could check when the Big Expedition arrived.
But this time’s upgrade became entirely different from the past one.
The pitch-dark endless deep space.
The dazzling, bright starlight.
A spaceship with depleted resources stood on the crimson wasteland.
Han Dong, who was already skin and bones from hunger, used the little remaining oxygen to support his body. He wrote a final testament, hoping that future companions who land on Mars will find it and return his research results to Earth.
Han Dong fully integrated himself into the current astronaut’s identity, forgetting everything about his disembodied consciousness.
After finishing his testament, there were no more lingering attachments.
Han Dong chose to wear a spacesuit, took out the last two potatoes and a bottle of purified drinking water, sat on a fully-charged space rover, and prepared to continue until death.
It was far-fetched.
He traveled a distance he had never reached before.
Seemingly he made it to the other side of Mars, the sky was no longer scattered with stars, but was filled with strange bubbles, like the colored bubbles Han Dong used to blow when he was a kid.
When he moved his gaze from the bubbles in the sky to the ground.
A door appeared out of nowhere in front of him, with a triangular symbol engraved on it that seemed familiar.
His consciousness pulled him out of his car and he slowly approached the door… as if endless whispers echoed in his ears, strange noises from the far end of the universe.
He opened the door.
Inside, there were only single-dimensional colors.
However, to Han Dong, these one-dimensional colors formed obscure images and high-dimensional spatial channels.
Stepping into it.
Tita~ one second passed.
Han Dong walked out of it.
At that moment, he was as old and white-haired as a centenarian, standing up and dying before taking two steps.
“Faceless Skull Upgrade is completed… Current Level LV.3”
Please choose one of the two space expansion projects for the post-upgrade (choose one):
1. Add a prison cell to the prison area to contain foreign objects.
2. Add an additional laboratory (Void) to the experimental zone.
Han Dong was still immersed in the memory of the astronaut’s life. In that door, he glimpsed many high-dimensional entities… just taking one glance caused years to drift away.
When Han Dong gradually adapted and turned his head.
He found that a ‘black triangle mark’, symbolizing the void, had appeared on the back wall of the laboratory.
“As expected… Dean Richard’s cell essence has an impact on the evolution of the brain… This trip to Mars was really comfortable!”
