Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Taking Control
Translator: 549690339
Han Dong had no idea that things would turn out like this.
The “Yellow mark” was branded on the back of his left hand.
This was indeed correct.
But it only reacted when the mysterious yellow-robed man needed the ‘author’, either by contacting Han Dong consciously or activating it by Han Dong, the mark would respond…
At this moment, it was not triggered by Han Dong.
Which means, that the mysterious yellow-robed man appeared on his own initiative, evidently not for the ‘author’.
By using the sacrificial array and extracting energy in reverse from the sacrificial stone chamber, and even from half of the entire “Ghoul Factory”.
This temporary appearance of the mysterious yellow-robed man is made possible.
“You… are!?”
They are not of the same rank.
Dr. Swollen, essentially a”Heterosexual” promoted by cultists, had not yet reached the level of the demon.
This yellow-robed man, his own level is even higher than that of the demon…
When faced with such an entity, Dr. Swollen couldn’t even accomplish the most basic signs of life.
A most primordial fear was induced just by witnessing such an indescribable sight… Besides fear, Dr. Swollen was hard-pressed to engender a second emotion.
The yellow robe didn’t give the doctor any chance to struggle.
Underneath the yellow robe, something was twitching slightly.
White, fine, small tentacles were wrapped around the sleeves of his robe, forming a pure white arm, paired the size of an adult’s arm, but the flesh was as tender and soft as a baby’s.
As such a palm touches the Doctor’s head.
Instantly altering his conscious level… in layman’s terms, it was ‘Brainwashing’.
A “Yellow mark” was formed in the doctor’s giant brain, directly converting him into an absolute believer of the yellow-robed man.
As for Han Dong, he was just standing there, watching everything quietly.
The yellow-robed man summoned through the sacrificial array was still not the original body.
Just like the one he once saw in the study, there was a ring of black outline around his body, as if it did not belong to this dimension… It was just through the “incarnation” for a short time.
Brainwashing was completed.
Dr. Swollen looked devout, lowering his head slightly.
Then the yellow robe being turned around to face Han Dong.
It seemed not to like speaking.
The last time they met, it conveyed information by writing text on the bathroom mirror.
This time it spewed a pale yellow gas from the bottom of its hood.
The gas automatically spread out in the air, printing a series of twisty and weird ancient texts, which were automatically deciphered by Han Dong’s ‘Little Demon Eye’.
“This is a sub-nest controlled by ‘Mo(M.O.)’.
If I ask for it directly, it would probably obediently transfer it to me… but I’m not asking for myself, I’m planning to let you take over here.
You carry a bit of ghoul attributes in your body, and also possess a hidden ‘Old King’ temperament.
You, who have been living in the Holy City for a long time, must consider the day when your secret is exposed and you are expelled… I will give this place to you, as your first nest outside the city.
Oh! According to your human terms, it should be called ‘home’.
You can directly control this lowly staff member through the ‘Yellow mark’.
When you deal with the deeper mother body, you can quietly take over here.”
“Senior, this…” Han Dong was taken aback.
The current appearance of the mysterious yellow-robed man was looking out for Han Dong… which left Han Dong clueless.
Han Dong never thought that he would encounter a pie falling from the sky, there must be a purpose for the yellow-robed being doing so.
Under the hood, a yellow gas was expelled again, and related texts were projected.
“The author ‘Alaiyet Boonith’ you provided last time was very good! It helped me to perfect the world framework of the Dragon Race and to fill it in.
This is a little reward for you.
Also, you yourself are quite interesting. If you perform well in the future, I can also create a long novel based on your ‘character set’, it’s bound to be interesting.
Work hard, human!”
“Thank you, Senior…”
Han Dong verbally thanked him, but he had a hard time understanding the thought of this high-level being…
In the blink of an eye.
The mysterious figure in yellow robe with the fog and various white juvenile tentacles that filled the stone chamber disappeared in an instant.
Everything returned to its original state.
The swollen doctor asked respectfully, “Lord Yellow Robe Messenger… Do you have any command?”
Hearing this title, Han Dong was stunned, but quickly entered into his role and gave instruction:
“Continue to pretend to obey the Great Lord’s command.
Find a suitable reason to explain the sudden situation just now… When we have dealt with the Great Lord, I will come back to assign you relevant tasks.”
Swollen Doctor quickly nodded, “Understood… Also, the arrival of the Yellow Robe Lord caused a large loss of energy.
The Ghoul Factory is currently running at low power… The Great Lord will come here to check the situation soon.
Messenger Lord, please leave quickly!
If the Great Lord discovers my relationship with you, the cover-up will not work.”
As he finished speaking, a fleshy passage appeared in the stone chamber, leading to the outer layer.
“Hmm.”
Han Dong originally wanted to inquire about the secret of the manor from him. He had to wait for the next opportunity.
“Be careful on your journey, Messenger Lord.”
“By the way… bring me some ghoul’s teeth.”
“Of course!”
Tucking the ghoul’s teeth, used for submitting the Night Watch tasks, into his pocket, he quickly made his departure.
Inside the small town.
It was three o’clock in the morning.
The rookies had all gone to sleep, and occasionally, the snoring sound could be heard from the blacksmith Winry’s room.
However.
One person in the group didn’t sleep.
Mia, wearing a half-mask, was sitting at the top of the house, watching the situation on the surrounding streets… To be precise, she was merely waiting for Han Dong to come back.
“Jerk! An absolute jerk!”
Mia pouted.
“While has that handsome blond guy, now he’s also entangled with Captain Kaimon’s grandson!
Walking around in the middle of the night, exchanging plans… It’s already been a couple of hours and still hasn’t returned. Perhaps the communication takes place in bed, right?
Jerk! I’m going to tell the blond guy about this.”
Just then.
Mia’s unique night vision ability detected two people walking back from the side of the road.
She couldn’t grasp the conversation’s content, but the two people seemed ‘intimate’.
Because of Han Dong’s slender figure.
Due to their shared experience in this Night Watch event, Abe habitually put his arm on his shoulder.
“Nicholas! That was amazing! After the training ends, we can get an extra ‘Night Guard Medal’.
In the future, when we go for the investigator qualification, we can choose the ‘Night Watchman’ as a special profession.
I was so worried about your disappearance in the middle, glad you’re fine!”
“Small matter… Captain, you should take a good rest.”
“Right.”
Both of them returned to their respective rooms, and Abe fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
The intensity of the first day’s action was far beyond expectation and even with great physical strength, Abe was at his limits… especially after hunting the ghoul, which almost drained all his strength.
Han Dong on the other hand, felt rather fine.
With the case of the Barber, Togu did all the fighting… In the Night Watch task, he was just responsible for guiding.
As soon as he entered his room on the ground floor.
Squeak squeak…
A scratching noise passed by.
A humanoid spider-like shadow was perched on the glass window, its mouth full of venom. It seemed to be repeatedly whispering two words, its eyes filled with resentment.
