My Cell Prison

Chapter 409: Temple
There is a different world inside.

Han Dong, who was lying on the chilly ground, didn’t sense any spirits of Mexican workers, nor did he get the slightest premonition of danger.

The light from his flashlight casted in a direction, unveiling a door emanating a yellow glow.

Countless charred corpses of Mexicans were grouped on both sides of the giant door, as if drawn by some sort of traction and were trying to enter it… Only, they seemed unqualified to do so.

Through contact with the door, even their souls seemed to have been obliterated.

“What is this!!”

Han Dong’s shock was not due to the giant door hidden underground.

Nor was it because of these pitiful Mexican workers whose souls had been drained.

It was because a familiar symbol was imprinted on the surface of the door.

“Yellow Mark”

Yes!

It was indeed the special mark left by the Mysterious Yellow Robed Man on the back of Han Dong’s left hand… currently imprinted on the surface of this underground door.

Trapped within the unique Cthulhu movie system.

Both the Faceless Skull and the yellow mark on the back of Han Dong’s left hand were sealed.

Currently, on the back of Han Dong’s left hand, he could not activate the symbol… It seemed that the Yellow Mark was sealed more tightly than the skull.

He pushed the door!

The door that seemed to radiate a faint yellow barrier was easily pushed open by Han Dong, granting him clearance to enter.

In the underground stone chamber, roughly the size of a supermarket, stood a statue nearly four meters tall.

The figure was the Mysterious Yellow Robed Man Han Dong had seen before.

“Is this the reason why the supermarket is under protection? Why is it related to the Mysterious Yellow Robed Man…

Or should I say, this incident directly concerns me, causing my special yellow mark on the back of my left hand to be revealed in this form?”

As Han Dong approached the stone statue step by step with suspicion,

multiple yellow dots began to appear on the surface of the statue.

The spots continued to expand until the entire statue was dyed yellow.

The soft Yellow Robe slowly opened from the center as if wanting to embrace Han Dong with love…

Inside the Yellow Robe was a psychedelic scene of cosmic constellations, staring at it for too long would result in becoming completely lost within.

At the same time, a notification from the system came:

“[Yellow Temple] discovered.

You can carry out [Card upgrades] or [Exchange high-end cards] in this area. (Note: The Yellow Temple will protect the current area from attacks and is an absolute safe zone)”

Basic card upgrade instructions:

Upgrade method: Sacrifices fog monsters

(Note: 1. The monster to be sacrificed must be alive and needs to be taken to the Yellow Temple.

2. Different cards require varying amounts of sacrifices)

Upgrade effect: The base cards consume costs remain the same, but their base effects (usage duration, power, etc.) will receive an overall boost.

Exchangable high-end cards:

[Ability Card]- The Power of Tentacles.

Content: Can permanently use the abilities of tentacles, but each use requires the consumption of Mythical Energy (Can be obtained by hunting, killing, or sacrificing monsters in the fog)

Successfully get through a ‘Level Three’ omen, and you can obtain this card (requirements met)

[Ability Card]- Fearful Skull of the Faceless Walker.

Passive effect: You will not be affected by illusions, madness, delusions, and other brain-related effects that are below the level of this skull.

Successfully get through a ‘Level Five’ omen, and you can obtain this card.

Note:

After overall upgrading of basic cards and obtaining high-end cards, you can attempt to explore the open-world fog and look for opportunities to escape the fog.

Of course, if you have absolute confidence in your own abilities, you can also start exploring early.

Message from the temple: “The longer it takes, the denser the fog gets.”

…….

“Hmm… It turns out to be a secure and upgrade setup.

However, the system also explained to me the ultimate goal (escaping the fog) and a conflicting issue that I must consider.

I could choose to stay in the absolutely safe supermarket for a long time, waiting for an omen to occur and then dealing with it and wait until I’ve accumulated enough omen value and upgraded all of my base cards.

But correspondingly, if there is too much time delay, the terrifying life forms in the fog will become stronger.

This is where I need to weigh the issue of time.

I have experienced discomfort several times due to horrific scenes, but once the Faceless Skull is unlocked, this situation will cease to exist.

This is it!

If the next omen arrives and it is a Level Five difficulty.

If I succeed, I will swap for an Ability Card and unfold a full-dimensional exploration of the fog.

If the next omen is not a Level Five difficulty, I will also try to explore… waiting for a long time would only lead to a dead end. After all, the Faceless Skull only provides mental immunity; encountering powerful creatures, I would still be helpless.”

Han Dong appropriately handled the contradiction, seeking the maximum probability of survival.

Since he had successfully passed a ‘Level Three’ omen.

Han Dong reached into the body of the Yellow Robe statue, and from its body that looked like the deep space of the universe, he took out the [Ability Card- Power of Tentacles].

Just like the system had explained.

This high-end card took effect immediately upon retrieval.

For a moment, Han Dong could feel a ‘squirming sensation’ in several places on his body…He could normally use the tentacle ability once again.

The usage of this ability exhausted Mythical Energy.

That is, Han Dong had to drain energy from monsters as much as possible when the [Mythical Phase] arrived, without unnecessary omen value consumption.

“Omens, Reality, Yellow Mark, and the abilities that should belong to me, but are indirectly sealed by cards…

There are more and more puzzles, but if these puzzles are all closed related, couldn’t they also be clues to understand the current event of fate?

Perhaps, I have already grasped two completely different ways of passing.”

…

The supermarket backroom.

Just when David and his group thought that the foul-mouthed writer had died due to the fact that there were terrifying monsters hidden below and were preparing to seal up the hole they had dug.

“You idiots, are you just going to abandon me? Hurry up and throw the rope down, and pull me up.”

Hearing the scolding coming from below the hole, the group quickly threw a rope down to pull Han Dong back up.

Some people’s focus was not on Han Dong’s safety, but whether there was a ‘way to survive’ down there.

“Is there a chance for us to survive down there?”

“There isn’t a chance in hell! However, the stone tablet below records the origin of the [Fog], If we want to live, we can only escape from the covering range of the fog.

The fog does not cover infinitely, we have a chance to escape.”

Han Dong deliberately fabricated a lie, laying a foreshadowing… after all, once he passed another omen, Han Dong was going to start exploring the fog, trying to escape.

Hearing such a response, a faint glimmer of hope ignited in everyone’s hearts.

Just then.

“Ahhh!!!!!”

A scream came from the supermarket lobby area.

Following that, the omen pouch on Han Dong’s waist also shook.

“Another situation happened first before letting me draw a card? It indeed seems like the[Omen]is affecting[Reality]…”
