My Cell Prison

Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Route

By sacrificing this low-rank Priest of the Deep Sea, it was just enough to upgrade the [Ability Card – Demon Eye].

After all, this priest of the deep sea also symbolizes the source of the third-tier omen.

If it hadn’t been for Han Dong to dispel the illusion by extraordinary means.

They would have most likely ended up sinking their consciousness and soul into the ocean, thereby perishing in this event.

[Ability Card – Demon Eye (Advanced)]

Consume five Omen Values to gain permanent usage rights (compared to normal cards that can only consume 3 points, for one hour of usage.)

Effect: The Demon Eye can help you unravel the illusions in the fog, enhance your observational range, and find the monster’s weaknesses. (The effect of the Pupil Mark will still be sealed, limited to the use of visual abilities.)

“This event really went out of its way to limit my powers… is it simply for the sake of ‘balance’? But it’s enough. The fact that the Little Demon Eye can permanently open is better than what I anticipated.”

Han Dong did not overthink.

He instantly deducted five Omen Values, leaving only one for his own use.

The card symbolizing the Demon Eye was directly removed from Han Dong’s basic cards. There was a twitch between his brows…a familiar feeling was coming back.

It was the same as the recently restarted ‘Tentacles’ ability.

The use of Little Demon Eye also requires the consumption of Mythical Energy, meaning that Han Dong can’t avoid fighting while advancing in the fog… he must ‘eat’ when necessary.

Later, Han Dong went back to the women’s restroom.

As expected, on the bathroom floor overflowing with seawater and scattered with fish, a piece of white paper immune to seawater deterioration appeared.

“Picked up ‘Original Manuscript Three.’ The overall progress of the event has reached a critical node; Guide initiation.”

1. Successfully survived the Omen events three times.

2. Basic card upgraded.

3. Advanced card obtained.

With these requirements met, the early preparatory stage of “Mist” ends. It’s up to you whether to enter the next phase of the plot [Exploring the Fog].

Once you enter the next phase, the shelter effect of the supermarket area will disappear after 24 hours.

Please leave the supermarket and begin exploring fully before the shelter effect ends:

At the same time, the [Yellow Temple] will directly exist in the minds of single participants. When you are not in combat, you can perform ‘Sacrifice,’ ‘Card Upgrade,’ and ‘Exchange for High-rank Cards.’

According to your judgments, actions, and ways of handling the Omen during the early preparatory stage.

The system guide will offer four completely different mainlines to choose from (only in Single-Player Mode).

Once selected, you can only complete the specified route… otherwise, you will not meet the completion conditions and will remain trapped in the fog indefinitely.

‘Savior Route.’

Conditions to start: Protagonist David survives, Supermarket manager Mr. Ollie survives, the number of surviving townspeople ≥ [15].

Requirements: Lead yourself or assist protagonist David, try to lead the townspeople to escape from the fog.

The final number of survivors must be ≥ [5], and protagonist David must survive.

(Note: The Savior route is one of the perfect endings. The system will provide guide assistance during the Savior process. Upon success, you will receive the ‘Box of Noble Virtue’.)

‘Judas Route.’

Conditions to start: Ms. Carmody survives, or any Priest of the Deep Sea survives. Protagonist David has left the supermarket.

Requirements:

①. Complete the [Induction Ritual] guided by the faithful believers of the sea. (You will completely break away from the Yellow Temple, you can get similar permissions in the Temple of the Deep Sea.)

②. You need to join other believers in the town to completely turn the current town into a ‘Deep Sea Colony’.

You also need to go to other towns, cities, or human gathering places to cultivate more believers of the Deep Sea (number ≥100).

(The Judas route belongs to the anti-perfect ending. You can get help from the believers of the Deep Sea during this route. You may also occasionally hear prompts from the Voice of the Deep Sea. Upon success, you’ll receive the ‘Perfect Deep Diver Box’.)

‘Dictator Route.’

Conditions to start: The total number of survivors in the supermarket ≥20 and all of them have been sacrificed to the Yellow Temple.

Requirements: After sacrificing the townspeople, the Yellow Temple will complete [Activation], and a trace of consciousness of an ancient god may come to the statue.

You will receive the ‘Yellow Secret Scroll’ that bears various difficult tasks.

You have to complete all the events recorded on the scroll as per the requirements.

Once the goals are reached, the temple will directly teleport you out of the fog area, ending the “Mist” event.

(There are conditions for a perfect pass on the Dictator route. You need to bring back the perfect scroll within the time-limited event. The Yellow Temple will give ‘Perfect Yellow Box’ as a reward.)

‘True Self Route.’

Conditions to start: ??

Requirements: Search for your lost self in the fog.

“Quite interesting…”

The first three detailed [routes] seemed to lean towards the choice of factions.

However, the last vague ‘True Self Route’ piqued extra interest in Han Dong, who had figured out some information about the relationships.

…….

About ten minutes passed.

By the time Han Dong returned to the lobby,

The protagonist and his companions had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, washing off the blood from the execution, and changing into the spare employee clothes from the supermarket.

Because Han Dong had planted a foreshadowing earlier, informing about the [Existence of a Boundary in the fog], suggesting to everyone the possibility of escaping danger,

They immediately gathered important people from the supermarket, formed a survivors’ team, and tried to leave the shelter of the supermarket to proceed into the fog.

However, the assembly of the team was not going very smoothly.

Even giving everyone the spark of hope in advance, coupled with the strong charisma of the protagonist David, we still could not bring all the supermarket personnel on board.

A group of people, after experiencing the event of [Deep Sea Stalker], no longer wished to leave the supermarket by any means.

Compared to dying horribly at the hands of Fog Monsters, or even possibly lingering between life and death…more people were willing to stay in the supermarket and wait to die. At least in this way, they could live for a few more days without enduring pain.

Out of a total of [23] people in the supermarket, ten chose to stay.

Protagonist David stood on top of a supermarket shelf, carrying a large backpack, holding a homemade spear, and shouted loudly:

“Everyone take as many weapons and tools that suit you. If there’s a chance, we’ll go to the police station to search for firearms… We expect to set off in ten minutes, everyone please be ready.”

As for Han Dong, he carried a few bottles of gasoline and a large fire axe that felt good in his hands.

With the powerful force provided by the G Virus, this fire axe has claimed many monster heads.

The greatest gain from experiencing the Fate event should be that Han Dong has become more proficient in driving and operating the G virus… which made him realize that the potential of this virus is greater than he previously thought.

Both arms need balance.

This event happened to allow Han Dong to find a balance point for the joints.

With everything in order, the next phase of the “Mist” event officially begins.
