My Cell Prison - Chapter 1572: 1570 Inner City

Chapter 1572: Chapter 1570 Inner City

The final layer of the City Lord Trial requires the tester to face off directly against one of the bodyguards, the [Game Administrator].

Fortunately, Green has combat experience in special games, complemented by equipment and field effects, allowing Green to persist for ten minutes, even slightly injuring the opponent, to meet the final trial requirement.

What’s most terrifying is

Green not only isn’t seriously injured but can immediately engage in Outer City Exploration.

[Ladybug Foundation – Director’s Office]

The holographic screen displays the name “Christopher J Green” along with relevant information obtained from the trial.

Blonde Director Mars is also recording various key points, later to be handed over to Mr. M, who oversees everything here.

“Are all the young demons produced by the S-01 world monsters? This guy, in some respects, is even more terrifying than Nicholas. His [Potential] is like a bottomless abyss, impossible to measure.

No wonder Mr. M is paying such close attention to this matter.

Is the rumored compromise plan being attempted by the [Black Tower] really true?

It’s hard to imagine what the scene would be like if the rumor turns out to be true… hopefully, the foundation won’t be too affected.”

Repeatedly watching Green’s performance in the trial, Director Mars sees more details and can clearly feel the terror from the demon.

The madness exuded by Green is something he has never seen before.

…

“Ladybug Day” – City Within the Wall. Kalmus.

Green is returning from the trade area via the circular city train,

Having exchanged at the Ladybug General Store for the extremely rare, dream-fulfilling S level bloodline that can cause a fully qualitative transformation in individuals.

When the train stops at the Hall Area, an unbelievable situation occurs… not a single person dares to get off early; the entire train is enveloped in an eerie silence, with passengers sitting and trying to hold their breath, quietly waiting for someone to get off first.

Tap, tap, tap!

As a slim young man with a bare chest and barefoot steps off the train, the atmosphere gradually returns to normal… two minutes later, a second person follows.

Han Dong and others, waiting in the elevator zone, also smell a familiar and powerful aura, mixed with something strange and bizarre.

Even Sally, who just received the “Angelica, The Antelope of Necrosis” bloodline, feels a chill down her spine, with tufts of wool growing rapidly from underneath.

“Green!”

Han Dong reacts first and quickly turns his head,

As he looks towards the platform, the [Demon Eye] at his brow center opens as well.

When Green’s figure comes into view, the surroundings seem to be filtered… as if only Green is moving alone in the dark, with everything devoured by his abyss.

No significant changes in appearance,

Still with disheveled hair, a slim body full of holes,

Except, there are more ‘tattoos’ on the surface of the body.

Between the holes covering the body, some connecting lines appear – “The holes are filled with a kind of black line.”

As Han Dong, out of curiosity, carefully scrutinizes the lines, he faintly glimpses something terrifying.

“What is that!?”

Along with the intertwining lines and holes, the abyss aura floats,

An abyssal being akin to a “stand-in” appears behind Green, both virtual and real.

Grey skin like abyss rock walls,

The body trunk and limbs are similar to humans, albeit with long arms extending past the knees when hanging down,

Most strangely is the head part.

The whole face is hollowed out, leaving a deep, bottomless pit,

When Han Dong sees this picture, his body is uncontrollably drawn towards Green, seemingly pulled by a conscious-level ‘attraction.’

Without concentrating, it is impossible to resist.

Bang!

The fronts of their bodies collide, freeing Han Dong from the bizarre state.

“Oh! Nicholas, did you see it?”

“Green, what kind of bloodline did you choose?”

When Han Dong asks this question, Green immediately shows excitement, even completely immersed in a state of joy and fun.

“The Ladybug Store has only a few S level bloodlines available, only five options.

However, one of them precisely matches the abyss physique, but is different… it provides a completely new experience, different from any previous pleasure.

Maybe when I return to my true self, I can use this feeling to perfect the myth and approach the throne.”

“I can see… it certainly matches well.

By the way, what is the bloodline’s name?”

“[Apophis Serpent Blood]

The specific effects will be evident when we face powerful enemies… Thank you, Nicholas~ This game is so much fun.”

Green extends a tongue from his true self, rough as a rock wall and devoid of saliva, gently scraping Han Dong’s cheek, a way to express gratitude used by the [Summer Cover Insect Clan] living in the Mad Abyss.

It is also Green’s first time making such a gesture to others.

“Perhaps we can explore the depths of Infinite City in one go, prepare for departure.

Although Hop and Kite still lack bloodline enhancement.

During exploration of the Inner city, there should be other opportunities to gradually help them catch up.

All consumables are fully replenished, let’s go!”

Arriving at Infinite City’s entrance via the elevator.

The “Coordinate Stone” dropped after killing Hundred Meter Level giants is held in Han Dong’s hand.

Use!

Buzz~ The circle released by the Coordinate Stone envelopes the whole group.

Once the light dissipates, everyone is at the entrance of the cavern, and the Coordinate Stone is dimmed, requiring a 24-hour cooldown before reuse.

“The left part hasn’t been formally explored yet, maybe there are hidden treasures in this cavern… let’s go!”

Surprisingly, not only is there no danger along the way, but the air gradually becomes fresh, and even some clear pools appear for drinking water or cleaning spots.

Approximately half an hour of travel, about ten kilometers.

No encounters with any giants, nor discoveries of treasures… the cavern gradually reveals another exit.

System prompt follows closely.

‘You have passed through the [Secret Cave-Antler’s Nest] and reached the Inner city’s middle ring.’

Unexpectedly, the other side of the cavern directly connects to the Inner city, which is good, saving the team a lot of exploration time… moreover, the exit corresponds to the middle part of Inner city.

It’s just that the scene before Han Dong is surprising.

Expecting larger buildings and plants closer to Inner city due to higher concentrations of Eitr liquid… it was clearly too simplistic.

The view ahead is a [Labyrinth] composed of buildings and plants, looking up doesn’t reveal the top.

Eitr not only enables materials to grow madly but also possesses self-awareness, regulating the rule changes happening in Infinite City.

To obstruct outsiders from reaching the core area, constructing such a dynamic labyrinth.

No wonder Han Dong couldn’t buy Inner city maps at the trade area.

Due to constant chaotic changes of the labyrinth caused by life traits, making it impossible to produce maps… to reach the deepest area, it’s necessary to cross the labyrinth in one go, otherwise, the next visit will encounter a new labyrinth structure.

…

Perspective switch

A team reaching the Inner city via normal exploration mode crossing the ‘boundary belt.’

They are wearing more or less Ancient Greek attire.

Upon witnessing the labyrinth structure of Inner city, they reveal a satisfied smile.

A burly man with bull horns seems particularly adept at handling such labyrinth scenarios.
