Chapter 1052 - 1052 151 Outsider

Chapter 1052: Chapter 151 Outsider Chapter 1052: Chapter 151 Outsider Because Togu had taken on the “Ascetic Trial”.

Han Dong was able to disguise himself as an idle member of staff, walking through the streets with great ease.

Owing to his inherent “Whirlpool Traits” and blending into the environment through “disguise”, Han Dong was the least conspicuous figure wherever he went, such that even if someone glanced his way, they would not linger on him for an extra second.

After several hours of wandering through the city, Han Dong slowly accepted the spiral setup of the city.

He also discovered several strange points.

1. In some dark corners of the city, particularly alleyways, there existed a “black vortex” visible to the naked eye.

Combining what Han Dong had seen and heard in reality, he could roughly surmise that these “black vortexes” were the connection points to reality.

From time to time, an Official Instructor would pass through the black vortex to recruit in London City.

Without a “Pass,” individuals couldn’t traverse the ‘black vortex’.

When Han Dong happened by an alley, he caught sight of an Official Instructor going to recruit, who deliberately revealed a ‘spiral part’, an unsettling “Spiral Arm” to Han Dong.

Han Dong did not look further, to avoid suspicion.

2. Although those who come here belong to the selected [Instructors], affiliated with the Whirlpool Cult,

there are still multiple branch factions under the Whirlpool Cult, corresponding to different styles of churches on the outskirts of the city… Some churches’ styles seem to have little to do with the whirlpool.

Han Dong noted this secretly, planning to investigate further later on.

3. The number of Instructors was greater than Han Dong had estimated, and even in this twisted city, a basic economic system had formed.

Merely disseminating through ‘book peddlers’ was very inefficient and certainly couldn’t develop so many believers within a few months.

Han Dong suspected there were many ways to become a [Preparatory Instructor].

Among them,

The Night Church, scattered around outside of London City and dominating the villages, might be related to the [Whirlpool Cult]. They might be culturing the sent death row inmates and villagers in the whirlpool until they meet the standards and are transferred here.

The more Han Dong thought in this vein, the more suspected his birth mother’s betrayal.

…

“A parallel world established modeled after London City, mass evangelism… Night’s birth mother wouldn’t allow such a situation to occur if she even just slightly intervened forcefully.

There are still too many doubts; I can only wait until I become an Official Instructor before I can investigate deeper.”

Just as Han Dong was making his way around several streets, passing by a thorn-covered apartment building,

a sensation came from his right arm, forming an ordinary dog’s head beneath his robe.

“Nicholas, hurry up and lift that ragged garment of yours; I think I smell something familiar.”

“Hmm?”

Han Dong slightly lifted his robe, revealing half a dog’s snout.

Sniff sniff~

The Count showed a very confident expression, “Even though it’s faint, there’s no mistake about the scent!

There must be one of the impure beings you just read about in the ‘Sin Covenant’ inside this building… Do you want to meet them? To some extent, we are also impure beings, right?”

“What exactly is the scent?”

“It’s the smell of the Black Goat Progeny that we encountered in the Dark Forest recently, but this time the scent is purer… It’s almost certainly an ‘Ancestor Body’.”

“Which floor?”

“The seventh floor of this building… and there are other smells mixed in, there must be another demon.”

“An Outsider Demon capable of penetrating to such a degree will not be simple… All right, I’ll go up and take a look.”

Han Dong smiled, not expecting that their encounter in the Dark Forest, combined with the Count’s keen sense of smell, would lead to unexpected gains.

…

Indeed, this building in front of them did not show many whirlpool traits; instead, it was themed with “thorns”.

Both inside and outside the walls were overgrown with thorn vines, and one could even hear the sound of thorns whipping against flesh emanating from some of the rooms.

“Speaking of which, the church we just passed also primarily featured thorns… ‘One Church, Many Factions’?”

Seeing no one around, Han Dong took a flying leap into the apartment building’s hallway.

As he walked up the stairs, thorn vines would occasionally lash out at his back.

Embracing the atmosphere here, Han Dong didn’t dodge but allowed the thorns to whip his back as he quickly made his way to [The Fifth Floor].

Stepping onto the final stair, Han Dong suddenly felt like he had stepped into a marsh.

He could even hear the crying of numerous infants around him… In the blink of an eye, he actually caught glimpses of several infants covered in foul-smelling mucus with empty eye sockets crawling out of the marsh, making their way up his legs.

“Domain?”

Han Dong didn’t dispel this strange spiritual influence with Mad Laugh.

Instead, he directly released his own domain, and as grains of Black Sand spilled out, the marsh and the climbing infants were forcibly covered by Han Dong’s domain.

At the same time.

Thud, thud, thud… Han Dong knocked on the front door.

Soon thereafter, the door opened to the width of a head.

The figure revealed was neither terrifying Goat’s Hoof nor the slippery Tentacles, but a woman who covered her face with Black Sand, revealing only two sparkling, gem-like eyes.

At the same time, a strong scent of ‘Fertility’ wafted out.

True to the Count’s word, this scent was even purer than that of Black Goat Progeny in the Dark Forest, and it even elicited a response from Han Dong’s clump of cells!

Speaking in the marked Demon language, Han Dong said, “I came alone, no one is following…”

The woman didn’t answer; in her heart, she already had the answer as to whether or not Han Dong was alone.

She took two steps back, indicating for Han Dong to enter and talk.

The moment Han Dong set foot in the room.

A highly oppressive shadow struck him.

Several Tentacles floating in the air morphed through ‘Heteromorphization’ into terrifying, twisted Hook Claws inscribed with Secret Texts, laden with Danger.

The Hook Claw hung in front of Han Dong’s head, pinning him against the doorway.

The one who acted wasn’t ‘Black Goat Progeny’ but another person in the room.

Their figure was concealed by a cloak.

The arm that extended the Hook Claw appeared to be made of a black, gelatinous substance, seemingly concealing a scale-like structure as well.

In the blink of an eye.

Han Dong even glimpsed a pair of terrifying, twisted wings growing from the person’s back.

“I mean no harm; I just smelled something different and came up to take a look… I am also an ‘Outsider’ who came to investigate the Whirlpool event.”

To make the two in front of him believe him,

Han Dong activated the part of the power that belonged to the Count, allowing the scent of Blood Brew to permeate the room.

A magnetic male Demon voice emanated from beneath the hood:

“You are a Minion of [Blood Ancestor CH.F.]… Your body seems to carry other attributes as well.”

Though the Hook Claw still hovered in front of Han Dong, the murderous intent had clearly weakened.

Han Dong explained, “Well, I am quite sensitive to scents.

Before entering London City, I encountered a Black Goat Progeny outside the City.

Just now, when I passed the downstairs, I also smelled something similar, which is why I came up to check.”

Such words caused the woman veiled in black to look displeased. She quickly wrapped the bedding around her, trying her best to cover the uncontainable scent of Fertility emanating from her.
