My Cell Prison

Chapter 812: Chapter 812: Elimination Chapter 812: Chapter 812: Elimination Since this is the highest-tier palace in Perugia City, the rooms set up for each guest are naturally quite upscale.

Each room features a large bathroom with marble tiles and a granite bathtub.

“Taking a bath… Vino, why don’t you join me?”

“What? What did you say?”

Vino thought she had heard wrong.

[Taking a bath together]
For Vino, who came from a nun’s background, this was a considerably sensitive phrase.

Moreover, throughout her whole life.

She heard such ‘outrageous’ words from someone of the opposite sex for the first time.

Previously in the Holy Knights Group.

Having noble royal blood, a tall and graceful figure, and a beautiful face framed by golden wavy long hair…Not only within the Holy Knights Group but also knights from neighboring groups pursued her in large numbers.

Everyone successively brought holy-related precious materials, with the most they would propose being going out for meals and shopping.

Starting with taking a bath was way beyond the usual approach.

“Nicholas… I… didn’t we say I was just pretending to be your ‘wife’? Why are we taking this seriously?”

“Vino, my core meaning is that we need to be together all the time.

If one is in the bathroom and the other in the bedroom, there might be targeted attacks by the lord.

My body is indeed extremely stinky and sticky, I must wash it.

Let’s do this…”

Han Dong came up with a foolproof plan.

He touched the Crow’s mark on the back of his right hand.

This power, bestowed by Mr. Black White, could be used to transform into any form of black attire.

The ‘Birds Beak Doctor’s Robe’ was a common choice.

Now, Han Dong transformed into a pair of high-quality swim trunks, complete with feathers and printed with a crow’s head.

“This should work… Vino, do you need a bath?”

“No, you go ahead.”

Han Dong had no reservations, quickly immersing his body in the bathtub,
while Vino stood in the bathroom dignifiedly with a flushed face, occasionally glancing toward Nicholas in the bathtub.

Compared to the skinny little brat from before, Nicholas had matured quite a bit now.

Although he lacked a lot in muscles and physical shape compared to other knights and was quite ordinary in looks.

But one could vaguely see the outlines of muscles on his arms, his torso no longer as thin as before, displaying two rather decent shallow abdominal muscles.

Appearance only needed to be passable.

For Vino, the most important thing was.

Nicholas could give her a sense of ‘reliance’ she had never felt before.

Standing in the smoke-filled bathroom, Vino, lost in thoughts the whole time, thought of the dangerous city of Perugia… recalling how at home, her female maid also helped her during baths.

“Do you need me to help you… scrub your back?”

Han Dong looked surprised, such a phrase usually came from a maid.

Let alone that Knight Vino was not just a senior, she was also a member of the Royal Family.

Asking a royal family member to help scrub in the bath, if word of this were to spread… some higher-ups in the royal family might directly approach Han Dong with problems.

“No need, I’ve already finished washing.”

“Ah… Oh.”

“If Vino wants to bathe, I can blindfold myself…”

Saying that, Han Dong brought out an item from the Count, the ‘Cone-shaped eye protector,’ completely obscuring his vision.

This item was not merely an ornamental piece.

The Count had once consumed a lot of effort designing the ‘eye protector blueprint,’ then gathering precious materials from various places to refine an ultra-high purity black Blood Brew.

He spared no expense in creating this ‘Cone-shaped eye protector,’ bound to his soul.

It appeared similar to a certain kind of black iron material but could actually dissolve in fresh blood and retract into the body.

Its main function was to restrain ‘bloodlust’ and break free from the control of the Blood God.

At the same time, it also drastically enhanced other sensory abilities by limiting vision.

For a creature like the Count, whose life essence was fresh blood, the perception of blood and sound waves was far more significant than vision.

With his cone-shaped eye protector on, Han Dong, splitting his mouth in a wide laugh, indeed bore some resemblance to the Scarlet Count… However, unlike the Count, who was mainly in bright red tones, Han Dong, leaning towards black and death, appeared even more ‘gloomy and maniacal’.

“Then… then I’ll wash up too.”

A fresh tub of clean, warm water was refilled.

Before bathing, Vino prayed in front of the bathtub and completely purified the bathwater with divine magic, removing all its impurities.

Listening to the sound of clothes dropping one by one.

Han Dong didn’t conjure up any beautiful scenes but rather seriously covered every corner of the bathroom with his senses, ensuring that no one caused trouble during this period.

However, not even two minutes had passed.

As she was cleansing her body in the bathtub, Vino said somewhat embarrassedly:
“Umm… Nicholas, did you hear a mouse?”

“Hmm!?”

Han Dong could hear everything.

And he could confirm that… under his sensory coverage, there were no mice in the bathroom or even in the entire guest room.

The reason Vino heard the sound of a mouse was similar to what had once happened to the Count.

‘Mental Invasion’
“Vino had been by my side ever since she stepped into the palace… she didn’t look at any artworks, nor did she eat anything at the banquet, yet she still got affected.

It seems that the ‘Divine Protection’ set in Vino’s brain did not work either.

Really impressive, it looks like the Count wasn’t just boasting.”

“Why would I boast, Count? I now somewhat hope that all of you would suffer from mental invasion and become the pig badgers of Perugia City’s lord.”

Han Dong ignored the Count.

He quickly knelt by the bathtub and placed his hands against both sides of Vino’s forehead.

“Feeling any better? The sound of rats should be a sign of spiritual invasion.”

“I can still hear it a little bit…”

“Still? Vino, move your body forward a bit… We must figure out the source of the rat sounds, it would be troublesome once spiritual seeding happens.”

“Ah? Okay…”

Given the urgency, Vino didn’t think much.

As she moved her body forward, she cleared some space.

Without any reservations, Han Dong then stepped into the bathtub… and the two of them ended up close together, one in front of the other.

Han Dong had no other intentions.

It was just that he couldn’t eliminate the source of the ‘rat sounds’ through contact with the head.

Han Dong suspected that this unusual type of ‘mental invasion’ might not be targeting just the brain but could also affect other parts of the body… after all, the brain’s secondary neurons could spread to various areas of the body.

Upon body contact, he immediately discovered something.

He detected tiny sources of contamination at various nerve joints throughout Vino’s body, resembling rice grain-sized mouse eggs, with no indication of when they got there.

“Really… It’s no wonder the Count was tricked, targeting nerve nodes throughout the body.”

As Han Dong analyzed seriously.

Vino was in a state where her brain overheated, unable to speak a single word.

“Vino, I need to do a thorough cleansing of your body to avoid further similar effects… It might be a bit uncomfortable, just bear with it.”

“Okay.”

‘Tentacle Enthusiast’
Gari gari~~ In no time, dozens of thin tentacles sprouted from Han Dong’s arms.

They penetrated Vino’s body through her pores, targeting each nerve node’s ‘mouse eggs’ for elimination.

The slippery and agile tentacles burrowed into her body, writhing between the flesh and nerves.

The discomfort and itchiness inside Vino’s body intensified, and the fact that she was in the same bathtub with a man… inflicted an unprecedented blow on the nun’s mentality.

Modesty could no longer restrain such a powerful sensory impact.

Inside the tightly closed bathroom.

A series of peculiar cries kept emanating…
