Chapter 830 - 830 830 Brain Induction

Chapter 830: Chapter 830: Brain Induction Chapter 830: Chapter 830: Brain Induction To ensure the siege forces got enough rest,

the Expeditionary Army would be stationed in the mountainous area below Perugia City for a while.

During this time, they planned to form a 100-man squad to collect materials from the ruins of Perugia City, scavenging various treasures that would be used as materials for ‘Endless Energy’.

Han Dong had just returned to the team not long ago and joined the “material collection” as a battle contributor.

As a major contributor to the defeat of the Lord of Perugia, he obtained permission from the Great Demon Leader to accompany the resource search team with special personnel status and head up the mountain again.

Thanks to their victory in the battle, the threat had been completely eliminated.

The material search squad did not have very strict regulations; they could either search with the main force or act alone, as long as they returned to the foothills within a specified time limit.

Of course.

All searchers needed to be equipped with detection devices and were forbidden from hiding any treasures…

If collectors found certain protected secrets or significant intelligence hidden deeper, they could also receive a certain amount of compensation upon submission.

But Han Dong was different.

With special permission, he was not subject to any controls.

Anything Han Dong found on his own could be kept for himself… of course, he could also choose to voluntarily hand it over to the Expeditionary Army.

Han Dong chose not to rest and immediately threw himself into the action of searching for materials,

simply because he had some ‘private’ matters to attend to… he naturally did not bring any companions and acted alone.

It wasn’t long before he climbed the mountain.

Using the anti-gravity effects of the “Power Armor (Law suit)”, Han Dong separated from the search troops and took an unknown path to the other end of the old city.

He sneaked into a hidden residential building and immediately locked the door.

“Sigh… Doctor, come on out.”

As a cluster of brain cells dropped to the floor,

the strangely dressed Swollen Doctor immediately grew to full form, accompanied by a nurse assistant from “Strange Tales”.

The moment Swollen Doctor appeared, the gears in his brain began to turn slightly, enhancing his sensory abilities.

Sniffing the air’s ‘Brain scent’, Swollen Doctor felt he had arrived in a haven of delicacies.

“Doctor, are the brains here of any use to you?”

“These low-rank brains are of no use to me, only good as common food… However, they are very useful for experiments.

If I could take back several tons of brains, I could also extract sufficient amounts of brain essence.

Whether it’s for stability research on experimental subjects or the preparation of potions by Professor West, a large amount of brain essence is needed for support.”

“Okay, let’s start right away.

Let’s aim to complete the collection of brains within five hours.

Then, Doctor, you will need to come with me to the center of Perugia City… There should be good things there that you and I can use.”

“Sir… Just to clarify, how are we collecting? Just the three of us?”

“Simply release a hundred ghouls, let them collect the brain tissue… I’ve already placed numerous Crow marks along the way, as long as it doesn’t exceed my supervision range, other knights won’t discover it.”

“Good.”

Sounds of gears turning,

flesh squeezing,

bones assembling,

The ‘Ghouls’ produced from Stuart Manor had completely transcended the conventional definition.

They had integrated the original Stuart Ghoul breeding technology, gear mechanical technology provided by the Steam Knights, the ‘Old King gear (son)’ provided by Swollen Doctor, and the resurrection potions from Doctor West.

The cultivation plan had been continuously optimized.

1. Protruding spines enriched with a metallic texture,

2. With a physique 2~3 times the size of a common “Ghoul”,

3. the muscle texture, skin elasticity, and gear joints could all be described with the word ‘perfect’.

Such a “Ghoul”, whether seen by the knights or the demons, could not be understood.

After all, this product fused the biotechnology that Han Dong brought from his original world as its scientific basis, merging the traits of life outside the city with the human technology of the Holy City.

A hundred horrifying figures immediately dispersed through the streets.

Each “Ghoul” was festooned with glass containers used to collect brain tissues scattered throughout the city.

The efficiency was 300% quicker than expected, completing the brain collection within two hours.

Seeing the satisfied look in ‘Boss Han’s’ eyes, Swollen Doctor finally felt a weight lift from his heart.

To tell the truth,

although Boss Han seemed affable, he became exceptionally serious when it came to scientific research and could even be described as ‘harsh’.

Swollen Doctor often had nightmares.

He dreamt that he made a major mistake in his research and was smashed in the head by Boss Han in a terrifying scene,

or that he failed to meet Boss Han’s expectations when submitting research results and was slapped in the head,

or that during an experiment in front of Boss Han, a problem in the reagent mixing led to scolding from Boss Han, followed immediately by a test tube piercing through his head.

All these were nightmares, not to be confused with reality.

“Pretty good, Doctor, come with me.”

“Yes!”

Swollen Doctor once again transformed into a mass of brain tissue, which Han Dong tucked into his coat pocket.

In reality… Han Dong’s initial target was indeed the brain of Lord Ramsden.

This Ancestor Return type, focused on brain development, could greatly enhance Swollen Doctor if he could obtain its “corpse” or extract some brain essence.

Unfortunately, the Holy Sword did not completely kill the target.

In the end, the Siege Forces that rushed over executed the lord, and Han Dong had no chance to scour the corpse.

Now, he had come again to the Abyss’ bottom layer, the “Junkyard”.

Han Dong wanted to see if he could still find some remnants of the lord’s brain tissue… After all, it was an Ancestor Return body, and even just some shredded flesh was something Han Dong wanted to take back for research.

“The contamination level in the junkyard is quite high; no wonder other knights who gather materials have no desire to come down here… Doctor, come out.

Your attributes are similar to those of the lord, maybe you can sense something.”

“My lord, which way is this? Is this the area where you battled the lord?”

Swollen Doctor pointed towards a street that was not on the same path as the “Junkyard”.

“Do you feel anything?”

“Hmm… when I stare in this direction, the Old King gears in my head start to buzz.”

“Lead the way.”

A ‘treasure hunt’ feeling arose in his heart.

Han Dong’s intuition told him that following Swollen Doctor’s guidance might lead them to find the ‘Rat House’ of Lord Ramsden,

hidden deep within Scarlet Manor.

It required going deeper from the count’s private theater to the secret room.

Inside were the count’s secrets unknown to others, a relationship network established behind the Blood God, and treasures acquired by the count thanks to the convenience of the ‘Movable Deed,’ amassed through invasions.

“It’s right here…”

“What is this!”

Among the ground filled with filth and dirt, there was a stone door marked with ‘brain’, ‘sun’ and ‘moon’ symbols.

It was identical to the painting ‘Comprehension of Truth’ in the palace hall.
