My Cell Prison

Chapter 651: Chapter 651: Colors among the Stars

Inside the pyramid.

A certain “color” hovered high in the air. Its top resembled a spherical object, while its bottom cascaded downwards like a waterfall, “expressing” a unique radiance.

Pink, purple, red…

It was hard to describe in existing words, and even transcended the definition of spectrum itself.

These colors were both pure colors and living entities.

The colors made Han Dong uncomfortable as they met his gaze.

Whether it was agitation, anger, or sorrow… All sorts of emotions were stirred by these colors.

“That phosphorescence that emerged from the well gave people an odd sensation, a feeling of impending doom. This feeling had far surpassed any scene they could conceive of; that color was not just flickering, but gushing out of the well. When this intangible flood composed of unrecognizable colors left the well, it seemed to flow straight to the sky.”—H.P. Lovecraft, The Colour Out of Space.

Han Dong decisively chose to close his physical eyes, using the Little Demon Eye as his only vision…

The Demon Eye learned from the Dead Spirit Manuscript was unaffected by the colors and couldn’t be invaded by them.

At the same time, Han Dong used the black sand to shield his bodyguards’ eyes.

He then, through the dense arrangement of tiny black sand particles, tailored a black suit for Togu, who was 1.9 meters tall, and Miles, who was just over 2 meters tall.

It was a scene resembling a mafia boss’s meeting.

Just like that.

Within a minute of entering, he had adapted to the “colors”.

Ascending the translucent black stone steps, Dean Richard of the Void awaited the arrival of his guests on the circular platform in the courtyard.

About twenty meters above the ground, ten mysterious disciples dressed in white ceremonial robes, with black triangles painted on their face cloths, seemed to be monitoring the situation.

As Han Dong stepped on the starlit tiles, he had a feeling that something was hidden beneath.

Perhaps, Dean Richard’s crucial experimental area was hidden underfoot.

“Togu, Miles… they are familiar and good residents that I know well,

I always welcome the strong, please pardon my subordinates’ ignorance.

Please come and sit down.”

With Dean Richard extending his right arm.

A portion of the “color” above separated and infused into the ground stone, quickly generating a colorful bench.

Only Han Dong sat down.

The two bodyguards stood on either side, always prepared for battle.

Upon their first meeting, Dean Richard began to praise Han Dong:

“Your disguise could fool my eyes, and essentially could deceive everybody in the town… and could even have the demon residents at your beck and call, I, Richard Powell, admire you very much.

I want to discuss something with you.”

“Please go ahead, Dean,” Han Dong replied.

For any enemy, Han Dong could always wear a natural smile, as he did now.

“You’ve seen this [‘color’], too! I’ve devoutly dedicated myself for several decades, close to a kingdom’s population in our lower world, to exchange a thread of color from the supreme void.

I believe you can feel the power of this color… powerful enough to subvert authority.

All life in Derry Town, even the plants in the courtyard, will go mad because of it. Even if the ‘Mayor’ is formidable, he can’t withstand the madness of the entire town.

You and I will not be affected by the color.

I will take the position of the Mayor in this mad transformation… And you will take the position of the Clerk. @@novelbin@@

It depends on your thoughts.”

Just as Dean Richard surprisingly extended an olive branch to Han Dong, trying to draw him into a crazy plan,

A system prompt sounded in succession:

“Because you are not affected by the ‘Color of the Stars’, you have gained [Richard Powell’s] recognition, and an exclusive mission is triggered.

Once accepted, your relationship with Richard will change from hatred to neutrality.

Transformation mission (Psychopath-level difficulty): The Color Among the Stars

Requirement: Cooperate with [Richard. Powell] to launch a full-scale invasion on Other Derry Town, kill the Mayor.

(Once the mission is accepted, all other residents with intimacy less than [Friendly] will change to [Absolute Hatred]

Reward: Node-[Other Derry Town]』

Hearing such prompts and rewards, Han Dong swallowed a mouthful of saliva… The reward was too tempting.

Other Derry Town and the Strange Tales World were not equal at all… The other residents here, when placed in the real world, could compete with the demons.

Once Han Dong acquired the node of Other Derry Town.

He could then slowly try to bring the other residents back to reality one by one.

Moreover, the rent of Other Derry Town would certainly be terrifying.

Of course… just thinking.

The reason why Han Dong dared to stand here to confront Dean Richard, one of the Ten Devils,

was largely due to the guidance of the Yellow Robe Being’s request, and the assurance that it would not be affected by the Mark. Otherwise, Han Dong would never take this risk.

Now.

One of the Ten Devils single-handedly suggested forming an alliance with Han Dong to confront the remaining Ten Devils and all other residents in the town.

The Fate System also kindly gave the hint of “Psychopath difficulty”, even if Han Dong was acting out of desperation, he wouldn’t agree to cooperate… Of course, such psychological activities would not be expressed through facial expressions.

Han Dong must delay for a certain period of time.

During this time, he needed to let the 100% Demon Eyes analyze the nature of the ‘color’.

Also, Nicole had not yet sent a message about finding the shrine.

Han Dong asked tentatively: “If I agree to cooperate? When do you plan to make your move?”

“Of course not now… My experiments are not yet complete. Once I gather the full Void Force, I will launch a full-scale attack.

It is expected to take a year.

Once a cooperation relationship is established, you will enjoy the protection of the central hospital for a year, and I can write a recommendation letter for you to obtain a residence permit and corresponding job.

You can try to win over other residents during this time.

All the ‘supplies’ in the hospital will be at your disposal.”

Han Dong nodded thoughtfully, “A year?

I wonder, does Dean Richard hold enough information in his hands to support this transformation? For the most basic point, do you know the ‘Mayor’ well?”

“Naturally, I do, and I will continue to collect information in the coming year.”

Han Dong’s eyes changed, and he immediately questioned: “Can I see the Mayor’s information? After reading it, I will decide whether to join.”

At that moment, Dean Richard’s grey-black face covered with pockmarks revealed an unpleasant expression, “No… I will only provide these top-secret materials if you confirm your cooperation with me.

Moreover, it seems you are not interested in cooperating with me at all.

You have even sent subordinates to try to find my shrine in the hospital and pyramid…”

Upon hearing these words, Han Dong felt a sudden chill in his heart.
