My Cell Prison

Chapter 429: Chimera
“These misguided pseudo-scientists have created a life form that they can’t even control themselves.”

They dared to utilize knowledge that barely scratches the surface of the iceberg, to create a completely unknown high-order mythical life form.”

How on earth has this foolish church branch managed to survive to this day?”

As Han Dong scrutinized these experimental materials from the perspective of a professor, he detected numerous flaws. Failure was inevitable.

If such a preparation and procedure for an experiment were drawn up by Han Dong’s students during his lifetime, they would certainly have been severely berated by him.

“However, the horrific creation they’ve brought to life is something even ‘Lord Bishop’ has difficulty handling. The only solution was to completely lockdown the prison area, and keep this terrifying product of their failure trapped on this level. They would regularly supply food to ensure the failure product wouldn’t become uncontrollable due to starvation.”

“Moreover, reaching the next layer involves more than just finding the exit.”

The key is also needed…”

A sheet of paper in Han Dong’s hand which contained the ‘Emergency Procedures’ stated:

“In the event of uncontrolled experimentation posing a significant risk and triggering a ‘Top Level’ alert, the experiment’s main person in charge, Dr. Archilochus, is to immediately seal off the exit from the prison area from the inside.

Only after the danger is completely neutralized, the doctor himself can unseal the quarantine by invoking his unique identity recognition.”

“That is to say, in addition to finding the exit, we also need to find the key… and the ‘key’ is Dr. Archilochus himself.”

Throughout his journey, Han Dong had never encountered any living creature.

The current laboratory was lifeless except for the dried-up blood stains.

If he really wanted to find the doctor, he might have to face the failed experimental subject…”

After a while, the effects of David’s protagonist halo seemed to reignite. Through a crow’s feather, he received information and found the exit to the prison area.

However, the exit was reinforced by several metal devices, and even with the maximum strength provided by the G Virus, it couldn’t be broken.

Since there wasn’t any more useful information inside the laboratory.

Han Dong immediately sent out the information to allow the surviving squad to gather immediately at the exit found by David.

Next, all they had to do was find the ‘key’ to successfully navigate through the current ominous situation.

However, just as the message for the gathering was sent out-

Another brief message came from David’s side.

“Help…”

…

About the issue of the ‘protagonist halo’…

Through detailed observation of the entire process, Han Dong confirmed its existence.

David’s overall quality was actually not that good, and in the original movie “Mist” he was somewhat impulsive and easily irritable.

But in the incident of “Mist”, David never got injured once, a few simple words from him had a strong guiding and encouraging effect, and he quickly became the core leader of the townsfolk.

In the instance of the G virus infection, David’s protagonist halo became particularly noticeable.

Even after the infection, David was still able to maintain his human form, suppressing the change of the G virus in his body using the halo.

It was exactly because he confirmed the existence of the ‘protagonist halo’, Han Dong felt relieved to let David act separately.

Moreover, under the effect of the halo, David didn’t disappoint and found the important exit … But the current distress signal from David shocked Han Dong.

The protagonist halo is not omnipotent.

It might significantly amplify David’s ‘Luck Value’, ‘Charm Value’, and ‘Mutation Resistance’, helping him evade most dangers, but it cannot avoid certain-death situations.

Once the protagonist dies… things could become extremely complicated.

“Kelvin, follow me!”

The ‘Exit’ is not very far from the laboratory.

Considering the possibility of the protagonist’s death and the existence of unknown creatures.

Han Dong immediately chose to fuse with Duo Zeya, fanning the bone wings and rushing over at the fastest speed.

Kelvin, the young man, also performed excellently.

With his enhanced leg muscles, he stayed closely behind Han Dong, and the big eye on Kelvin’s chest was constantly observing the surrounding situation.

As he approached the ‘Exit’.

Han Dong’s body feathers shivered violently, as a rare sense of danger swept over his entire body.

From the time he entered the world of “Mist” till now, he had only felt this degree of danger once before- that was when he was fleeing from the giant tentacles (Nicole’s tentacles) in the small town.

A wave of black aura overflowed near the exit, even Little Demon Eye couldn’t see very clearly.

‘Fireball Technique’

There were torches left on the wall of the prison area.

In the Crowman form, Han Dong created a darkish, immature fireball.

Although the stability of the torch was extremely poor, it was more than sufficient to light it up.

When the fire broke out.

A monster, which could hardly be described with words, stood at the exit position, startling Han Dong enough to make him retreat half a meter.

The moment he saw the true form of the monster, Han Dong immediately understood why the underground prison area was deserted, and not even a single corpse was found.

They had not been eaten – they were all merged in the monster’s body.

The overall contour of the monster could barely distinguish the structure of four limbs and a body trunk.

However, the monster’s limbs were comprised of a countless number of failed subjects’ bodies patched and stacked together indefinitely.

The monster’s hand contained over hundreds of different types of arms, assembled randomly, with some palms shaking eerily in the air.

As for its body, it was composed of countless heads stuck together, even the brain tissues were stuck together…”

This was the ‘Out of Control Chimera Experiment’ that Han Dong had read about from the experimental materials.

In Greek mythology.

The Chimera is a monster with two heads, a fire-spitting beast with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a snake’s tail.

In modern medicine, there is also a term called ‘Chimerism’ which refers to a person having at least four sets of DNA.

The idea of these pseudo-scientists from the church was simple – they wanted to merge the failures to create a life form closely resembling something out of the myth, so as to serve as the church’s ‘Hidden Weapon’.

The experiment got out of control.

The Alpha Fusion Index greatly exceeded the stable value by tens of times.

All the failed subjects of the underground prison were fused by the monster that was created, turning into a horrific life form that was uncontrollable, unceasing, and thoughtless-

Of course, Dr. Archilochus, who served as the ‘exit key’, was one of them.

The difficulty of avoiding the forecasted disaster was quite apparent.

The task was to cut a part of Dr. Archilochus’ from the monster’s body, unseal the lockdown, and escape the current area.

…

“What kind of attack mode is this!?”

The one teaming up with David was a man named Ma Pei.

He, who had a certain leg injury in his previous life, grew six sharp long pointed legs under the stimulation of the G virus.

At present, the six legs of this man have been completely pulled out by this monster.

Ma Pei was engulfed and absorbed into the monster’s body by countless arms without any chance of struggle.

Soon after, Ma Pei’s limbs and skull grew out in different areas on the monster, even inheriting some of the G virus’s special traits…

Though the experiment was a total failure.

These foolish scientists seemed to have indeed created a horrific monster that resembled a creature out of myth.
