My Cell Prison
Chapter 996 - Chapter 996 Chapter 995 Whisper

Chapter 996: Chapter 995: Whisper Chapter 996: Chapter 995: Whisper In Eva’s eyes, the production process of “biological batteries” was almost unbearable, even for them.

Moreover, the finished batteries would undergo inspection and it was basically impossible for outsiders to sneak them in.

Initially, it was because of Captain Tesla’s suspicions that Eva even considered this possibility.

She hadn’t harbored much hope.

But the unexpected still happened…

Just as Tesla had feared, Nicholas always found a way to worm into what seemingly impenetrable gaps there were… The Energy Zone was the ultimate purpose for unleashing the Mummy Army, it was just that Nicholas was not expected to have already arrived.

With the touch of the palm, their minds connected.

Their consciousness connected.

“Shh… Miss Eva, long time no see.”

The sudden transmission of voice frightened Eva into silence, she even trembled slightly involuntarily.

Since Eva was forcefully kidnapped by Nicholas in the desert,

She, already fearful, incomprehensive, and doubtful, was reluctant to make an enemy out of Han Dong, this bizarre man.

A seed had been planted in her heart by Nicholas, one that could nurture a primordial sense of fear, capable of making Eva give up the idea of resistance.

He’s really here! How did he manage that? How could his body be compressed to such a degree and still act as if nothing was amiss?

A multitude of questions flooded Eva’s mind.

But Han Dong’s voice continued to transmit: “It’s best not to let your teammates discover what’s happening here… as a ‘Knight’, I don’t want to hurt you or your team.

It’s not that I’m arrogant… If I were exposed, I’m confident I could kill all of you before Ed Louis could arrive.”

As he finished saying that,

Han Dong shared his ‘inner’ condition with Eva.

First was the strong presence emanating from the Ancestor Body, making Eva’s whole body go numb.

Immediately after, two other presences were lurking within the Ancestor Body.

One was the source of fear from the promotion examination, corresponding to a powerful priest under the pharaoh’s command.

The other strong presence had nothing to do with the City of Gods, causing Eva’s hair to stand on end, as though she was in the coldest corner of a morgue.

With these powers combined, Eva was certain that Nicholas was not exaggerating… At least, she would be the first to be killed.

At the same time, she also remembered what Manager Ed had said, not wanting them to fall into danger.

At this moment, Eva’s ‘psychological defenses’ were utterly breached.

“Continue to inspect the other batteries, I will maintain mental connection with you…”

“Alright.”

At that moment.

The nearby Decomposer Watter noticed Eva was staying in front of a batch of batteries for an unusually long time, “Eva! Is there something wrong with that batch of batteries?”

“No problem.”

Eva put on a very natural smile, her actions and expressions very natural as she moved on to the next battery.

Meatballs spawned from the G-virus hyperplasia clung to the depths of Eva’s ear canal.

Han Dong’s voice could be emitted through the meatball: “I didn’t expect Miss Eva to have such a talent for performance, that was really dangerous just now… Your teammates’ sense of smell seems to have improved a lot.”

Eva replied as calmly as possible: “Once the inspection of the batteries is finished, I’ll persuade Tesla to leave this place.”

“No worries, I just happen to have a few questions.

Miss Eva, about the ‘Hands’ of the Decomposer in your team, what exactly are they about? It seems that even he can’t fully control them, is it some kind of ‘Mythical-Level Contact’?”

“Yes.

They are a higher-grade ‘Mythical-Level Contact’ and they tilt towards [Evil]. Everyone refers to Watter’s Hands as the ‘Demon Forbidden Hand’.

In terms of individual lethality, Watter is somewhat stronger than Captain Tesla.”

“From that perspective, you and Pides, who excels at boxing, are outstanding engineers, while Tesla and Watter should be among the top echelon of engineering talent, right?”

“Yes… My involvement is just to ensure that Tesla has enough energy to use.

At the same time, providing the team with reconnaissance and certain remote support.”

Catching a key point, Han Dong quickly pressed: “Tesla must hold a high position in the Capital City, doesn’t he? Could it be that… your initial positioning was as Tesla’s ‘complementary battery’?”

“Hmm… Tesla is the son of the company chairman.”

Due to the uniqueness of his body, Tesla Energy Company has always been recruiting an ‘exclusive battery’ for him… I only got this position through a series of rigorous examinations.

Although being referred to as a ‘companion battery’ may sound unpleasant, I can enjoy resources and treatment that general engineers do not have access to.

Moreover, Tesla completely treats me as a teammate, unlike the slaves in the City of Gods.”

“Oh? Your definition of [slave] is rather broad.

With your future constrained, do you still think you are living comfortably? The slaves in the City of Gods may be bound by slavery, but they do have the right to develop, and as long as they can pass the “God-Chooser Examination,” they can obtain true freedom.

…What about you? You can only develop along the predestined road set by Tesla Company, and even your Talent Tree needs to align with attributes suitable for charging.

When you become a senior engineer, will you be able to break free from being a ‘companion battery’? Perhaps not…”

The voice emanating from the meatball sounded like an evil god’s whisper, echoing in Eva’s mind, unable to dissipate.

Even as the brain converted these auditory signals into an acceptable ‘brainwave frequency,’ tiny grey tentacles were forming across the brain cortex that could affect an individual’s consciousness, truly rooting some form of obsession in her mind.

But these tentacles were being repressed by Eva’s strong convictions.

“No… this is the freedom I pursue.

Becoming Tesla’s battery was my choice, with no coercion from anyone.

Not everyone can lead humanity; at least I cannot… Tesla is the person I value and trust, he deserves this from me, and it is also my dream.”

Ha ha ha ha~

Laughter erupted from Han Dong.

As the laughter resonated in her head, the tentacles spreading through her brain were cleared away, even sharpening Eva’s consciousness significantly.

“It seems that engineers are not necessarily as displeasing as [Novikov] after all.

I hope the Holy City and the Capital City will have the opportunity to collaborate in the future.

Miss Eva, I will tell you something in advance… The real enemy may not be the ‘demons.’

After you return, you must be mentally prepared, whether the opening of the ‘Door of Fate’ is good or bad? Perhaps only a part of the world can truly answer this question.

Maybe one thing is certain, the real disaster will descend upon our world.”

Such a statement, if heard by others of the same rank, would be dismissed as the rantings of a madman.

But to Eva, who had been deeply influenced by him, it carried a certain persuasiveness, especially since she had seen Han Dong getting along well and in harmony with the Ancestor Body.

Moreover, the core of the critically important ‘Ancestor Body’ was hidden within Han Dong’s body.

And furthermore,

Eva herself was someone capable of deep thought,

Always questioning why the three main cities could exist independently in the world–were the demons truly helpless against the human main cities?

“…Yes, I’ll be careful.”

“There’s one more thing I’d like to ask of you, Miss Eva.”

“What is it?”

“When you leave, you may pass on the information about my infiltration into the Energy Zone to your teammates, or even directly to Mr. Ed… but please, you must persuade Tesla not to rashly intervene in this battle.

Once the Glory Waterfall collapses, my army will breach the defenses.

These honest villagers are likely in a state of ‘excitement’; it will be very dangerous for you.”

“Hmm.”

“Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Eva.”

…

Inspection over.

Having found nothing amiss.

Tesla and others, accompanied by High Priest Seville, left the Energy Zone and continued to take part in the cleansing of the Mummy Army.

However, just five minutes after they left the Energy Zone,

The bio-batteries embedded in the circuit boards detached autonomously.

The energy transmission was cut off, and the Glory Waterfall encasing the battlefield vanished in an instant.
