My Cell Prison-Chapter 395 - : The Final Preparation

Chapter 395: Chapter 395: The Final Preparation

Without warning.

Even Han Dong and Jane failed to notice…

The old man appeared, reaching out to halt any further movement.

Han Dong instantly felt a sense of great danger, as if he were standing in The Valley of Thousand Corpses. He instinctively retreated at a brisk pace… His clothes soaked with sweat.

Han Dong had encountered various powerful entities, but had never met someone as dangerous as this.

The old man, referred to as ‘Master’ by Jane, excelled in ‘human’ techniques. He could select weaknesses with a mere twitch of his fingers and kill Han Dong thoroughly.

That’s why Han Dong felt danger.

“Ah… more sensitive than your peers in sensing, no wonder you are Crow’s student.”

The old man, shrouded in darkness, approved of Han Dong’s instinctual evasion.

The shadow gradually dispersed.

The figure of the old man slowly came into focus.

A few bandages were slightly wrapped around his arm, seamlessly in contact with his skin, seemingly like a part of the old man’s characteristic skin.

A simple and thin black tight-fitting shirt, reflected the lean body of the old man.

He wore loose black trousers and a pair of plain cloth shoes.

His face portrayed an age beyond seventy, the center of his pitch-black eyes were a faint white color.

Being stared at by those eyes made Han Dong extremely uncomfortable.

“Master, I…” Jane bit her lower lip slightly, already beginning to introspect.

“Your mental issues are clearly reflected in this case. If you embarrass me in the Black Rose Knight Squad in the future, I’ll personally write to Curran, depriving you of your knight’s status.”

“Yes…” Jane bowed her head, seemingly on the verge of tears.

Jane quickly composed herself.

Now that her master was present, she needed to introduce him as a middleman.

After all… Information about her mentor was not listed in the teacher column of the Mysterious Department.

Generally, Mysterious Apprentices are unaware of the existence of this figure.

“Nicholas… this is my First Mentor, Professor Glensum Leslie, a lifelong honorary professor of the Mysterious Department.

He is also the administrator of the Large Cemetery, the grandmaster of the Shadow Sect, and the former commander of The Night Watch.”

“Nice to meet you, Professor Leslie!”

Hearing so many titles, Han Dong speculated that this hidden professor’s strength is likely not inferior to the Witch.

Moreover, the title of the “former commander of The Night Watch” alone was enough to prove the terrifyingly high status of this person in the Holy City.

The Night Watch is a special organization in the Holy City, a unique existence within the investigators.

They’re able to ‘secretly’ handle many problematic affairs, maintaining the basic stability of the Holy City.

Han Dong had completed the Night Watch tasks during the knight’s training period. In the future, when getting the investigator’s license, he could choose to go down the ‘Night Watch’ path.

“My disciple lost this spar…”

“Master…” Jane muttered quietly, but didn’t manage to articulate her thoughts.

“As a reward for your victory, allow your ‘summoned creature’ to stay with you… Let her join the basic Shadow Flow learning, but only to learn basic skills.”

“Thank you, Professor!”

“I watched the whole process of your sparring from the shadows. Your ‘summoned creature’ is of human origin but does not belong to the Holy City, it’s quite interesting…

Heh heh.

One of the reasons I was willing to stay in the Mysterious Department was because Crow and I ‘have our quirks’. Simply sticking to the rules won’t free us from the shackles of the Holy City. In the end, we cannot escape our fate of extinction.

There is a need for some changes, and to take some risks.”

In Professor Leslie’s words, there was a subtle revelation that he seemed to guess that Chen Li was from Fate Space.

Meanwhile, perhaps the reason why Professor Leslie remains hidden deep within the Large Cemetery, and why his title of Night Watch General was stripped off, has to do with his characteristic personality.

“Thank you for your trust, professor.”

“Go back and tell that crow that this time ‘Jane’ was selected as the fifth consecutive member of the Black Rose Knight Squad by Curran. Such an achievement is reasonable.

He should strive as much as possible to secure resources from above, and not let the Mysterious Department continue to be desolate.”

“Alright…”

Han Dong’s plan is going surprisingly smoothly.

Chen Li is allowed to stay within the Shadow Stream Faction for basic studies.

Han Dong believes that with Chen Li’s foundation, she will surely be able to accumulate knowledge and make big changes within two months.

Of course… because of this matter, he managed to offend Jane once again.

Han Dong is well aware that Jane did hold back during their competition, but even so, he had no control over the outcome.

……

After wrapping this up,

During the summer break, both Winry and Mia contacted Han Dong to discuss about the Fate Space.

Abe has already invested 5 points into Control and entered the Seed-Breaking Phase, so he didn’t contact Han Dong.

Both girls are put off by Han Dong for various reasons.

Winry is straightforward. Han Dong simply said that he wanted her to gain more independent practice……The naive Winry responded with great enthusiasm, promising she would work hard.

Mia was a bit more troublesome, clinging to Han Dong every day.

Because Mia knows very well that as long as Han Dong is present, the difficulty of the Fate events can be minimized and greater benefits could be achieved.

“Mia, this time I have my own plans. I’ll definitely lead the team next time.”

“Next time……Next time, you might not even be able to see me, whining.”

“I recommend a person who is similar to me to lead the team. He can also maximize your benefits……even better than following me.”

“Who?”

“Dumps Martin.”

“No way!”

Mia is full of refusal. She and Dumps had a conflict in the past……And because of Han Dong’s existence, she has no interest in Dumps at all.

Moreover, some of her values conflict with Dumps’.

“Then you can form a team yourself, bring along Winry….look for a Fate Space that suits yourself. You are on the verge of reaching the Crack Period anyway. Just stay steady and play safe.”

“Then……Can you lend me something? You seldom use it.”

Mia pointed to the ‘Coral Seal’ on Han Dong’s finger, an accessory that can provide protection and enhance the efficiency of weapons. frёewebηovel.cѳm

“Indeed it is not much use to me, 300 copper coins, I’ll sell it cheap to you.”

“Should we charge money in our relationship?” Mia immediately pulled a funny face.

“Do you want it or not? Since you missed the best opportunity, now it has increased to 400 copper coins……If you don’t want it, I will directly put it to auction.”

“Nicholas you’re shameless!”

“500 copper coins.”

“I’ll take it!”

Mia was pissed off in the process of transferring the money, but in reality, she made a profit……This kind of blue-quality accessory could easily sell for 1000 copper coins.

As for Han Dong, who has no weapon, having this ring doesn’t provide much benefit.

“Wish you good luck in obtaining purple equipment and clearing stages smoothly.”

“I hate you!!” Mia left in a huff.

“Phew…She’s been pestering me for twenty days, finally got her to leave! I’ll rest well tonight, and go straight to Mr. Black White tomorrow to start the Single-Player Mode.”
