My Cell Prison

Chapter 376: Chapter 376: The Way Out
Holy City-Noientena.

The lowest and levelled spectrum adjacent to the city wall is the civilian area, the most densely populated area.

With the Moslabi River within the city border as a dividing line, it completely separates the civilian area from the core area of the Holy City… It is rumored that at the bottom of the Moslabi River, there is a second city wall.

Once the outermost city wall is breached, the second wall at the bottom of the river will immediately rise.

Back to the civilian area.

For Han Dong, there weren’t too many feelings.

After all, he hadn’t spent much time here; it was just the area where the owner of this body lived.

Dirty water rushing down the streets,

Buildings and layout lacking any orderly style,

Pedestrians strolling the streets without high expectations of life,

In order not to draw attention, simple but unimpressive clothes matched with Han Dong’s short and sallow body, quickly blended in among the civilians, no one would question Han Dong’s identity.

“The news was sent back to Holy City about a week ago, these evil intruders have not committed any ‘evils’.

However, the Knight Regiment and Adventurer’s Guild have initiated a mass action, carrying out a full-scale search in the civilian area, even conducting door-to-door inspections but have found nothing, this is somehow a bit unreasonable.

There must be some ‘blind spot’ they haven’t discovered yet.”

Han Dong was not aimlessly searching like a blind fly.

At the dinner table, when Cass opened the stone box,

Han Dong secretly noted this ‘pollution’ that could cause organic abnormalities, through the Little Demon Eye’s particularities, he could perform a targeted search for this unique pollution.

…

Just as Han Dong passed two streets,

A plainly dressed young man was standing at another street corner, meeting Han Dong.

Dumps Martin.

Although they had agreed to act separately on the surface.

But Han Dong had anticipated the ‘secrecy’ of this covert infiltration event, so he privately invited Dumps for help.

After all, both of them had contacts outside the city, so the investigation through alternative means might produce some results.

To be honest,

Dumps was not interested in such purely copper reward tasks at all; the highest reward was 1000 coppers coins, which Dumps could easily earn with a flick of his finger.

During the meal, Dumps didn’t say a word.

However, since his companion needed help, Dumps was willing to contribute.

“…Come over here.”

Stationed at the alley entrance, Dumps softly waved, signaling Han Dong to come over for a conversation, seeming to have discovered something.

“This matter is very troublesome and the overall benefits are not high.

I need to ask you first, why did you decide to investigate this issue? You can pay back the money you owe me at any time, there’s no need to take this risk.”

“I am mainly interested in the ‘Demon’ behind the scenes, also, I want to help that friend accomplish the Breaking the Breed.”

“Cass Martini?”

“That’s right…”

“Alright.” Dumps nodded, pointing to the depth of the alley, “Follow me, I have many informants in the civilian area, they have some understanding of the underground affairs.”

“Underground?”

“You have Mr. Black White as your backing… I don’t.

Even if I can please ‘Hera’, if my identity is exposed, she would never plead for me or take responsibility for anything.

I need to have some necessary ‘escape routes’.

Just like how Nicholas is slowly leaving some ‘escape routes’ outside the city besides Mr. Black White.”

Thud thud thud…

As Dumps knocked at a wooden door deep in the alley.

Squeak squeak squeak! A large swarm of rats darted out from the bottom of the old wooden door.

These rats seemed disturbed and ran out, but in reality, it is a means of detection, used to verify the identity of the visitors outside the door.

The wooden door opened.

A vagabond wearing a hood peeked out his head, a stench emanating from his body.

“Lord Six Fingers, how come you came in person, please come in… Who is this?”

“My friend.”

“Good! Please come in quickly, lately because of some troublesome matters, the Knight’s Regiment has been carrying out frequent searches in the civilian area.”

As Han Dong and Dumps entered,

The man released an even larger number of rats, covering the entire alley, the moment someone intruded they would know immediately.

…

As they stepped into the room,

Dumps instantly built up a ball of flame in his palm to light up the room.

The interior was an old wooden house that seemed to have been uninhabited for many years.

The floor, wooden beams crawling with rats, various food residues scattered around… it did not strike Han Dong as the so-called base from Dumps’ words at all.

“This is ‘Ratman-Derig’, my liaison… I found him from the dirtiest rat nest in the civilian area, he is an extraordinary individual with good perception.”

“Hello!”

As Derig took off his hood, he revealed a noticeably protruded face covered with thick, hard whiskers, offering his furry, black palm for a handshake with Han Dong.

Han Dong didn’t mind.

Just as the two were shaking hands…

Han Dong was able to faintly sense a hint of outer city aura from this man’s body, though weak, Han Dong was only able to detect it with careful and direct physical contact.

Reciprocally,

This Ratman also sensed a surge of high-end pressure from Han Dong’s body, his eyes filled with respect instantly.

“Is this… a monster? No… it should be a human, right?” Han Dong couldn’t figure out Derig’s positioning for a while.

But after thinking carefully, taking into account the previous words of Dumps.

“Dumps, could it be… the power you bestowed?”

Dumps gave a knowing smile, “Deputy Captain is really powerful… Derig, lead us down.”

“Yes!”

Moving the wooden bed.

Under Derig’s direction, a large number of rats pushed the wooden floorboard apart, revealing a secret passage leading deep underground.

The so-called ‘base’ became apparent.

Similar to an underground bar.

A few wax candles were used for lighting, inside were gathered ‘all kinds’ of people, at least several dozens… like Derig the Ratman, they all exhibited features different from humans.

As Derig led the two to a large underground bar,

All the civilians gathered here placed their right hands on their chest, bowing their heads, and called out with respect,

“Lord Six Fingers!”

Using the enhanced vision of the Demon Eye, Han Dong scanned these people; he could not find a trace of impurity in their pupils, they were 100% loyal to Dumps.

This scene made Han Dong associate it with some underground churches.

If these civilians were changed to believers, then Dumps would be the only God they worshiped.

Obviously, Dumps had put a lot of effort here.

“How did you manage to do it?”

Dumps answered with a smile: “Simple, I gave them what Holy City couldn’t…”

“Let me ask them, they live in the darkest areas of the civilian area, they should know some information.”
