Chapter 1148: Chapter 1147 Consciousness Sensing Chapter 1148: Chapter 1147 Consciousness Sensing Severe physical trauma, plague invasion, and an impact on the level of consciousness.
This caused Han Dong to fall into a deep coma, unable even to feel that the Count had taken him into Fate Space.
However,
as he crossed into Fate Space and came to the Black Tower, which served as the interaction center of the world, a sensing from deep within Han Dongâs mind drew his frail consciousness into a pitch-black area.
Staring at the all-encompassing darkness around him, sensing his current state of consciousness, Han Dong came to an unfavorable conclusion.
âUh? Could it be⊠the Count did not manage to escape, and I am already gone?â
According to Han Dongâs idea,
if the Countâs escape had been successful, he should have been somewhere in the medical area of the Black Tower Transit Station when his consciousness cleared, not in such a dark area.
Feeling his state of consciousness, he preliminarily judged that Eugenes had gained control over the bodyâŠ
However,
in the dark Consciousness Space, suddenly there appeared a streetlamp resembling those from the 1980s.
Sizzling~ the street lamp flickered continuously due to voltage issues.
At the same time, a woman slowly emerged from the darkness, stepping into the flickering light of the streetlamp.
Her hair draped over her shoulders and her bright red lips,
a red coat, pale calves, and red high heels,
holding a red umbrella, seemingly reluctant to expose her body to the light, and the tilt of the red umbrella just so happened to cover the womanâs faceâonly her red lips were visible.
âWho are you?â
Just as Han Dong encountered an overwhelmingly familiar sensation, attempting to search his chaotic memories for information about the person,
Click~ the street lamp went out.
The next second,
the red umbrella enveloped Han Dong, the cold red lips pressing against his ear, whispering,
âCome and fetch meâŠâ
âChen!â
As Han Dong tried to reach out to touch her,
the black space suddenly withdrew.
At that moment, Han Dongâs consciousness returned to his body, and he abruptly woke up.
Sitting up from a warm bed⊠his consciousness seeking to grasp led directly to his body reacting, causing Han Dongâs right hand to reach out, attempting to grab the lady in red.
However,
no lady in red existed in reality.
His right hand, steadied on the surface of the bodyâsoft on the outside but firm insideâŠ
âAwake now?â a friendly greeting sounded.
Han Dong looked up to see the person by the sickbed greeting him was none other than Headless, who had once brought Han Dong into the fight club.
And his palm was right on Headlessâs stomach, nearly reaching somewhere slightly embarrassing.
âHeadless!â
Seeing this huge figure without a head and exuding a rich aura of resentment, Han Dong also smiled.
Obviously,
the current location was indeed the fight club within the Black Tower⊠meaning the Count had succeeded.
âHow did you get so seriously injured, little brother? From the looks of it, you nearly escaped to here⊠Any deeper, and this body of yours would have been done for. Who did this to you, do you want big brother to gather some club brothers to go seek revenge for you?â
âDirecting towards my world would require a high price, right?â
âYou may bring two or three brothers if you like, and the club will cover the expenses directly.â
âThank you, Headless, but I prefer to handle this matter myself⊠If I canât even handle such a small matter, I might as well leave the club.â
Han Dong was quite aware of the substantial influence that the fighting club had within the Black Tower, and he didnât want to owe anyone favors because of this.
âAlright, then. Iâve got some things to attend toâŠâ
âHeadless, do I need to handle any membership paperwork? Last time, due to timing, I was knocked out and transported away before any procedures were managed.â
âThere arenât so many rules and procedures. As long as youâve fought and gained recognition from other members, youâre already an official member⊠The medical treatment youâre receiving now is also part of the membership rights.â
âOkay.â
Headless held a relatively high status within the club. Besides being Han Dongâs âreferrer,â his friendliness also stemmed from his interest in Han Dong.
The door closed with a click.
With Headless gone, Han Dong finally calmed down and began assessing his physical condition.
His left arm and chest area were covered with numerous needle marks⊠It was these very needle marks that had expelled the plague from Eugenes and had also infused Han Dong with enough nutrient solution during his coma to stabilize his condition, preventing any permanent damage.
Though there was still some tingling and nerve issues in the wound areas, it wouldnât be long before he fully recovered.
âCountâŠâ
âWhat?â The Countâs response came arrogantly, as if he was expecting praise from Han Dong.
âHow long have I slept?â
ââŠAbout a week.â
âHuh? Logically, Fate Space wouldnât let me stay at the âTransfer Stationâ for so long.
Could it be because I was unconscious when I entered Fate Space and unable to make normal decisions, so it doesnât count the time? Thatâs unexpected humanity.â
Seeing Han Dong talking to himself, the Count clearly became displeased, âHey! Donât you have anything to say to me?â
âOh⊠well done.â
âThatâs it? I not only escaped successfully from the Fifth Element but also severely injured him with my exquisite acting skills.â
âOhâŠâ
Han Dong only responded perfunctorily. Now that he had confirmed his body was unharmed, his thoughts were fully occupied with the matter concerning the woman in red.
âHey! What kind of attitude is this, not even a word of thanks?
At least owe your body to this Count for a few days!â
This time Han Dong didnât retort, âHmm, when the danger is over, I can lend you my body for a few days⊠Thanks.â
âHmmâŠâ
For some reason, when the Count heard Han Dongâs sincere thanks, he felt something was odd⊠but he was satisfied nonetheless.
After all, the Count himself had been in a state of tension when he escaped to Fate Space.
Keep in mind, the one chasing after the Count had been an utterly enraged Fifth Element, and any mistake in escaping would have subjected the Count to endless torment.
At that moment.
As Han Dongâs consciousness grew clearer.
The prompt from Fate Space also arrived:
â[Transfer Station]Activity Duration: 2 days
Detection of individualâs [Fate Cooling Period (One Year)] not yet concluded, no âTalent Pointsâ reward obtainable through fate events.
If still wish to execute fate events, please submit an application at the Black Tower Office.
Furthermore, the trials related to the personal associated creature have concluded, please visit the office for details.â
âIndeed, the consciousness sensing during my coma must have been from Miss Chen Li. Has the trial of âYin Yang Roadâ finally concluded?â
Recalling the uncontrollable situation when he last entered the world of âYin Yang Road,â Han Dong was curious about what kind of changes Chen Li had undergone within the world⊠the outcome might far exceed the trialâs maximum threshold.
