Chapter 367: Chapter 367 Yellow Sand
When the carriage entered the Mysterious Department, shrouded by the Dark Moon, Han Dong finally felt at ease.
This arm was too important to him.
Moreover, Han Dong had never encountered a situation where a living creature in the Fate Space could react with his brain.
“Strange, why would a living creature in the Fate Space react with my brain?
The formation of the Door of Fate gives humans a chance, endows humans with unimaginable strength to deal with life outside the city… fate itself absolutely rejects ‘life outside the city’.
This arm itself doesn’t feel any ‘contaminated’ aura.
But it has a subtle response with my brain… Could it be related to ‘Imhotep’s’ origin or some attribute?”
With doubts on his mind.
Han Dong arrived at the Dark Moon Tower and immediately took the elevator to the top floor.
However, as the elevator slowly rose.
A shadow in the corner stirred.
Masked Jane revealed herself.
Han Dong immediately turned sideways, face to face with Jane…but he didn’t get ready for a fight, he knew very well that this was the Dark Moon Tower, and everything was under Mr. Black White’s watch.
Students of the Mysterious Department absolutely can’t cause trouble here.
“What is it, Jane?”
“I am just curious what you’re using this arm that you bought at a high price for…Your first mentor is Mrs. Pasha in the sewer, specializing in plague studies.
Your second mentor is Mr. Black White.
Neither of them has any relation to suturing.
Can you tell me?”
Jane seems to ask out of curiosity, but actually she has other ideas…it seems she is particularly interested in this ‘outstanding’ junior.
“Would you believe if I said I self-studied suturing?”
As Han Dong gave such a reply, he saw murderous intent in Jane’s eyes.
“Hehe, just joking… leave it as a secret between us, I hope you don’t tell anyone.
After this Fate Space, I will invest all my points in the second profession – [Library].
I am currently minoring in magic, mainly involving the study of black magic.
The arm of [Undying Priest-Imhotep] is of great help to my studies… moreover, I really did self-study some suturing, I am not lying to you.”
“Minoring? Are you trying to ruin your future?”
Putting aside their enmity.
Just from the perspective of talents, Jane thinks highly of Han Dong…but the scholarship he has chosen makes no sense to her, not everyone is an aberration like the Great Plague Chief.
Wanting to merge tree species to derive a brand new Talent Tree is not a matter of effort and talents, it also requires opportunities and luck.
“I am just following my heart… It’s too soon to talk about ruining it.”
“I look forward to your performance two years later.”
Jane quickly disappeared into the shadows, leaving Han Dong helpless.
This talented senior who can control the shadows can appear at his side at any time in the academy, which means she can appear at any time outside the academy.
She could even kill him while he is sleeping.
He must keep his distance from her and never offend her.
……..
[Stargazing Room]
Mr. Black White naturally knows everything that happened.
In anticipation of Han Dong’s arrival, he had already prepared a secluded and spacious partition.
Before bringing the arm into the biological laboratory, Han Dong must ensure that this arm will not harm his brain.
Therefore, he first placed the wooden box in the center of the room.
[Book of Dead Spirit – Eye Manuscript]
Following Lucius’s method.
Before opening the box, Han Dong first drew a sealing formation.
This kind of eye-formation with polluting properties is enough to suppress a hand arm separated from “Imhotep”‘s body.
Double insurance.
Han Dong also asked Togu to appear, prepared to bind the arm with chains at any time.
[Unboxing]
The situation is similar to the previous instance.
Yellow sand flies away, and a small sandstorm vortex forms in the partition.
The formation is activated.
Buzz!
The yellow sand quickly disintegrates and falls.
Gurgle gurgle!
Eyes grow out on the floor, ceiling, even the exterior of the wooden box, and on the surface of the old bandages wrapped around the arm, completely suppressing this arm.
“This self-conscious arm shouldn’t have any freshness problem… Let’s unwrap the bandages and see.”
Han Dong uses the “G Arm” to remove the bandages.
From the moment the index finger touches the bandage, there is an immediate throbbing pain, which then spreads from the fingertip.
Upon close look, Han Dong’s index finger was entirely “sandified”…
“This!!”
It’s more troublesome than Han Dong expected.
If the effects of sandification can’t be overcome, the subsequent integration of the arm will become a problem.
G virus trait activated.
The finger immediately grows new flesh… at the same time uses the currently known crow magic to counteract the effects of sandification.
Gradually unraveling the layers of bandages.
An mummified arm with less than 20% flesh coverage is revealed before Han Dong’s eyes.
There are traces of yellow sand flowing between the rotten flesh.
Han Dong even catches sight of a ‘scarab beetle’ with a golden pattern on its shell, drilling in and out between the flesh.
However, on closer observation, it will become apparent that the scarab beetle is not an individual lifeform but rather a magical creature formed by yellow sand… it is a part of the abilities associated with this arm.
“So this is the arm of the undying priest… I must take it back to the biological laboratory and test its data.”
As Han Dong pondered the level of danger…
A voice, seemingly that of his own brain’s consciousness, resounded:
“The living creatures brought to the ‘Portable Prison’ will be suppressed by the prison and pose no threat.”
With that reply, Han Dong made a resolute decision to take it back to the laboratory.
He removes the “Clown’s Arm” that was originally fixed on the scanner… and carefully places the arm from the wooden box on the detection device.
“Arm detection in progress, estimated time is 1 hour and 38 minutes…”
The more complex the structure of the limb, the longer the detection time.
……
During the waiting period.
Han Dong begins another necessary task, converting essence load.
From the end of [The Return of the Clown (Surface Chapter)], Han Dong’s cell load had reached its maximum limit (200), after which he had been constantly collecting cell essence.
It includes essence extracted from the executives of Stuart Manor, and the large amount of cell essence obtained in the [Strange Tales] world.
He advances to the ultra-clean workbench.
Holding a metal-edged syringe, he evenly injects all the cell essence into this ‘main body’ of Han Dong.
The cell essence (stem cells) obtained from other beings, after being absorbed by the main body cells, leads to cell clump growth, and load increase… It quickly reaches 300 load points.
“Cell essence fully absorbed, the individual’s current load value is: 200 (used)/300 (max).”
What Han Dong currently hopes the most is that this arm of Imhotep does not exceed 100 load points… he can accept any other cost.
Time’s up.
Drip drip drip…a detection report is output from the side.
