Chapter 1304: Chapter 1302: The Fear in the Mine Chapter 1304: Chapter 1302: The Fear in the Mine Inside London City.

Helen did not despise the coat that came from the Black Goat.

This particular cashmere coat could cover every part of her body precisely according to her figure, restraining her “Outer”.

Her “Outer” stemmed from her inherent nature, and actively containing it would consume her own energy; in the Dreamlands, she always maintained a state of unchecked outward presence.

Even covered by the coat.

The Dark Denizens on the same street as her would still involuntarily glance over, wanting to strike up a conversation even if they couldn’t make out her face, drawn by the influence of a natural domain.

However, Helen’s expression wasn’t looking too good.

“I didn’t expect that as soon as I arrived here, I would be faced with a kind that ‘rejects’ me… It’s really put me in a bad mood, and I must vent the negative emotions suppressed inside me, otherwise I could accidentally break the rules here.

Would it be considered unrelated to me if someone commits subjective suicide?

Or maybe I should head over to the Fallen area in London City and really let loose.”

While Helen was preparing to find a ‘place’ to have a good time.

A chill suddenly came from behind her, forcing her to wrap the cashmere coat tighter around herself as her entire skeletal structure began creaking.

An alleyway beside her lit up with a burst of cold, pale flames.

White shirt, black trousers.

A green-haired youth with one hand in his pocket and the other playing with a flint emerged leisurely.

“Helen, long time no see… Are you interested in coming to my place?

I can provide the body you need to inhabit.”

“Isn’t that Aslan? No wonder it’s so cold.”

While Helen’s language seemed friendly and flirtatious, her instinct forced her to take a step back.

She also did not directly respond to Aslan’s question… Under non-essential circumstances, she was not keen on establishing any connection with Aslan.

At this time.

A foul stench drifted through the air.

A green-haired Eugene, with countless eyes hidden beneath his hair, appeared in the alley, able to see through Helen’s physical structure, which made her quite uncomfortable.

Aslan continued:

“Please allow me to take a bit of your time to explain the current overall situation in London City.

The Human Expeditionary Army has fully settled in, and based on my recent observations, human forces have become undeniably significant due to [Fate], with several powerful beings among them, which I’ll discuss in detail later.

Let’s talk about the current dynamics among the Elements.

The Bishop of the Night who greeted you at the city gate earlier is named [Nicholas], an outlier who claimed victory in the last London Game along with the Madman.

According to information provided by Eugenes.

This person has certain ties to the Madman, and has also confirmed an alliance with the Black Goat and Protoss.

That’s the first faction.

From the conversation you just had, their attitude towards you was quite clear, Miss Helen, and I don’t think you’d be interested in them.

Besides.

Let’s not even mention Pope, as his relationship with Hyde is unshakable. As for Weed, because of the ‘celestial’ issue, he’s bound to ally with him.

That’s the second faction.

Your relationship with Pope seems not great either, and I believe you wouldn’t want to deal with someone too clever like him.

I plan to form an alliance with Eugenes and you, Helen, to compose the third power to maintain the overall balance.

As for the [Madman], he will most likely continue to act ‘independently’ as before.

The [Mud lump] is too troublesome and not easy to control, so I have no plans to woo it… The same goes for other factions, there’s no need to add an unstable bomb to oneself.

What do you say, Miss Helen Hillber?”

“It sounds very good, but it’s still early; I want to think about it for a while.”

“Fine, when you’re ready, you can come find me at the Glacier.”

Aslan mimicked the human gesture of love by blowing a kiss to Helen.

However, he himself was unaffected by Helen’s appearance and disappeared with Eugene into the alleyway.

Helen did not linger either, tightening her coat and heading in another direction.

Soon after.

The Second Element “Book of Wisdom – Pope Menda” and the Eighth Element “Supreme Glorifier – Hyde Darius” arrived in London City together.

Under Han Dong’s arrangements, the two stayed in the apartment next to the British Library.

Although they were verbally polite, Pope did not make eye contact with Han Dong for more than a second, treating the interaction merely as a typical host-guest relationship.

Similarly.

Sensing Pope’s presence.

Red-haired Weed with the “Red Planet” suspended over his chest descended rapidly from the celestial bodies above, joining Pope in the library to discuss cosmological knowledge.

Seeing this, Han Dong tactfully left the library.

With that, only Green and the mysterious ninth one of the Ten Elements had yet to arrive.

…

One month and thirteen days remained until the “London Game” began.

Even as a major battle was about to unfold, the mining projects in London City proceeded in an orderly fashion.

The Humstan Mine was the largest mine in the Dark Forest. Extending five hundred meters underground, only Dark Denizens with advanced mining certificates were permitted to operate in the deepest areas, able to extract ores of extremely high purity, used as supplementary materials for special constructions and high-grade equipment.

The income of these miners was comparable to the middle and upper echelons of London City.

Today, however, an unpleasant smell floated from the deepest part of the mine.

Moreover, bubbles were forming in the cracks of the ground, spilling out a pale grey turbid liquid that would stick to the soles of shoes if one stood still for too long.

When the miners tried to report the strange occurrence to the outside world, all their means of communication failed.

Some terrifying thing was lurking here…

When the supervisor realized something was amiss and went to the bottom layer.

The pale grey bubbling liquid filled the lowest level like a swimming pool, with the remains of the miners floating on the surface.

Sniffing the decay in the air, an utmost primitive and evil sensation swept over the mine worker’s heart, the feeling nearly causing an instant death on the spot.

Holding his breath and focusing, he ignited all the candles he carried, hoping to escape in the darkness.

Whoosh…

In an instant, for some reason, all the candles were extinguished.

Slowly, from the grey viscous liquid, numerous spiny soft tentacles congealed, somewhere between liquid and solid, coming together to form a giant, horrifying mouth.

Within its maw was a chaotic abyss filled with heaps of corpses.

The supervisor was so scared that his lower body sprayed black liquid uncontrollably, and his will collapsed.

Just as the devouring was about to be completed… the giant maw suddenly stopped, disassembled back into tentacle shapes and withdrew into the liquid.

The viscous liquid spread throughout the mine seemed to regain consciousness, beginning to gather, compress, and shape… seemingly attempting to take on a human form.

Each attempt of fusion resulted in swollen hyperplastic tissue, defying definition as human.

At this moment.

An irregular eye emerged from the center of the viscous liquid, watching the mine supervisor.

Without waiting for any reaction, the liquid immediately poured into his mouth, instantly taking over the supervisor’s body.

Using this as a template to maintain a human posture.

To be safe.

A series of thread-like tentacles grew out from under the skin, stitching up every node where the body could ‘burst apart’, making it look like a “stitched corpse” in its entirety.

“This way… it should hold up for a while, but when I get to London I must find a better vessel.

What a hassle, such troublesome rules, such a troublesome game, such troublesome life.”
