My Cell Prison

Chapter 29: Cell Essence

Chapter 29: Cell Essence

Thirty minutes after the meeting with Nina.

This mechanical apprentice looking Nina's sister finally calmed down...she could never have imagined that her 'brother' would have survived.

On the way home, Nina finally asked her long-hidden heart out.

"You're... not 'brother', are you?"

In fact, Nina had said something similar before Han Dong entered the Fate Space.

"How can you tell?"

"Brother is completely 'different' from you, he's lazy and rogue...exactly what a 'brother' should be. Doesn't want to do anything, stays at home all day and does nothing.

After being forced to participate in the 'Fate Space' and wearing the wind-up device, he had completely given up hope in life.

When he ran out of the house alone during the morning time when the Destiny Space was about to open, I thought he had committed suicide early because he was too scared."

"He did commit suicide...he happened to be bumped into by me, and so it became what it is now."

Han Dong was confessing like this after detailed consideration.

From Nina's words, it seemed that she didn't like this Nicholas Valen and even despised such a brother .

Han Dong currently had the status of a 'Returner', Nina would never do anything against Han Dong and would most likely accept it all.

"Suicide... you are?"

"Don't worry, I'm human in essence as well. Since I have accepted your brother's body, I am also a member of your family."

Nina's eyes flickered with concern, and after a moment she nodded slightly.

"Actually, that's good...at least Mom won't have to worry about

brother anymore. Thank you...this is something about you I'll be sure to keep to myself."

"Yeah."

As long as Nina would trust him completely, the possibility of her identity being exposed would be minimized.

It was at this moment.

This Nina sister with short brown hair and goggles actually took the initiative to take Han Dong's hand from the side and said with a smile, "Brother let's go home... Mom will never expect you to come back alive."

Han Dong, an old man who had spent most of his life in the lab, trembled slightly at the sight of this young sister holding his hand.

"Hmm... By the way, will my 'Returner' status help your family?"

"Of course, at least I won't have to be forced into the 'Destiny Space' and can have ample time to prepare.

In addition, once you further your studies in the Knight Academy, the school will allocate a special set of school houses on the other side of the river, and both mother and I will be able to move away from the commoner's area and live a life with no worries about food and clothing."

As soon as she said that, Nina smiled privately, happy as can be.

"Well! e to my room later, evening time...I have a lot of things I want to ask you."

"Ummm, no problem! I'm half a mechanical apprentice too, in that Master knows a lot of information that the commoners don't know."

With that, Han Dong, who had taken care of the identity issue, followed Nina back to a tight collective building in the civilian area.

As if it was as tight and chaotic as the Xiang Jiulong Walled City.

Nina walked through numerous times, weaving through multiple branches in a snake-like alleyway that only allowed one person to pass through before finding a damp, dark, upstairs hallway.

The seventh floor.

A humble two-room room.

With no sunlight coming in on all sides, the room relies on a few small kerosene lamps for illumination.

Unlike the 'city of steam and machinery' that it looks like from the outside... Metal is extremely rare in this lowest level of commoner's homes, and the furniture is mostly wood.

I heard the door open.

A 'mother' with a slightly rickety figure and some white hair between her brown hair walked out.

Unlike the full-figured Western women of Han Dong's memory.

Nicholas's mother gave off the impression of being skinny and skinny before she was old .

The family was having trouble even feeding themselves...only Nina was slightly better off.

"Oh God! Nicholas...is it my eyes? Are you alive?"

There was something wrong with the words coming from his birth mother, but no one would believe that such a weak and sickly loser like Nicholas could come back alive.

Han Dong only responded with a slight nod of his head while saying, "Well... Mom, we'll be able to move out from here soon. I'm tired today, so I'll go back to my room and rest."

"Get some rest, dinner is ready, have Nina bring it in for you."

The joyful 'mother', and the concerned looks cast at him made Han Dong uncomfortable.

He bowed his head and quickly walked back to his room.

There was actually a slight fluctuation at the spiritual level when the word 'Mom' was shouted just now...after all, Han Dong had been an orphan as a child and had never been exposed to the word parent.

"Let's leave the family issue at that for now.

Since we are honest with Nina, the problem of identity leakage can be minimized.

Moreover, judging from the country's compulsory requirement for young people to enter the Destiny Space, which is in desperate need of talents, the problem should not be too big for me as a 'returnee', even if I am known to be the outsider who took away Nicholas' body.

This country wants talent, and as long as the position of the talent is completely inclined towards the Holy City, they should all accept it.

Naturally... it's best if we can do it without exposing our identities."

Han Dong lay on the still-comfortable wooden plank bed, preparing for an important matter under his hands.

Having just returned from Fate Space, it was assumed that neither Nina nor her mother would disturb him.

Activate the "Faceless Head".

Han Dong had appeared in the prison area... However, this time it wasn't to see Miss Chen Li.

Opening the door to the sterile lab, Han Dong's purpose this time was to examine the "Cell Essence" he had collected.

As expected, the syringe placed on the central platform already contained the "cell essence" that Han Dong had collected from the corpses of the special beings during this incident.

He took out the syringe and went to the ultra-clean working table.

Even before his death, Han Dong had already performed countless experiments on cell inoculation on such a workbench.

But currently, he was also a little nervous, a little worried about harming this mass of cells that symbolized his original body due to improper handling.

"Everything is difficult to begin with... just as long as it works once."

Han Dong took out a hundred times more focus and stared at the cell cluster on the operating table.

If there was any discomfort in the cell cluster during the injection, he would stop it.

However, things were simpler than Han Dong had imagined.

Just as the syringe approached the cell pellet, the plasma membrane opened a hole through contraction, just enough to allow the needle to reach into it....

Inject!

Slowly pushing the needle pump, the essence is injected little by little into the cell mass.

When the injection is complete, a beep sounds.

"All cell essence has been injected. Weight limit increased by 25 points.

"Five plague monsters are but 5 points... an evil spirit actually has 20 points!"

Han Dong was shocked.

The load limit had really been raised!

This way, he would be able to find a new body or body part to slowly repair or replace this weak flesh.

"Let's start with the [Hand]..."
