My Cell Prison

Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Choice

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Initially, Han Dong simply wanted to use his “imitation” ability to delve deeper into the characters and events of the movie “Possession”.

Unexpectedly, this interaction unexpectedly triggered a side event.

As for the destiny card mentioned in the side reward, Han Dong is not particularly concerned… He doesn’t even know if he can survive in this event.

What he values more is the relationship between the characters.

If he chooses correctly and acts properly, he might greatly increase his ‘intimacy’ with the event characters, and may even turn them into strong allies.

The conversation with Chen Li ends.

Returning to his dormitory, Han Dong dropped his disguise and fell into deep thought.

In fact, in this negotiation with the event character, aside from understanding the true nature of the film and the relationship of the characters, a major question was raised.

If both Wang Po couple and Chen Li siblings are normal humans, who then is the ‘evil spirit’?

Two possibilities:

First, the event characters turn into evil spirits after death.

Second, the evil spirit has been lingering around this wilderness, irrelevant to the event characters.

However, the first possibility is extremely small.

Because, Bald Derleon had been murdered last night… This bald man was robust, if he was attacked by a common person, he wouldn’t have died without making a sound.

Chances are that he was killed by the mysterious evil spirit.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, the faces of the other members of the squad flashed through Han Dong’s mind.

“There’s also a third possibility… If I were to hypothesize that from the outset there were only five humans from the Holy City participating in this Fate Event, the genuine ‘evil spirit’ might have been mixed in among us as the ‘Sixth Man’ from the beginning.”

For some reason, Han Dong’s intuition tells him that the likelihood of the third circumstance is high.

“If it were true, in order to survive with my physical condition, I must make full use of this side event… and strengthen my relationship with the event characters.”

Han Dong has determined his course of action.

With more than an hour left till the ‘Return Human Ceremony’, Edward and others were still exploring the surrounding area, drawing a rough map.

Han Dong reverted back to his original appearance, as ‘Nicholas’, he went to the first floor to meet Miss Chen Li, the “Possessed” again.

Chen Li’s original plan was to scare off these college students in advance, and then deal with Wang Po couple.

Therefore, when Han Dong came to the first floor alone, Chen Li was sitting in a chair, her hair unkempt.

A kitchen knife in her hand.

Click!

As Han Dong stepped into the hall, he voluntarily closed the wooden door, adjusted his own emotions, and entered a ‘performative’ state.

“Miss Chen… My name is Valen. Nicholas. I want to talk to you about something about ‘Wang Po’.”

Han Dong intentionally got close to Chen Li, his focus on the kitchen knife in her hand the entire time.

“I am not the same as them. I am of mixed race, my mother is also from Jiuzhou Country… This filming was proposed and organized by me.

The purpose is to expose Wang Po’s true face and let her be punished by the law.”

But…I’m not satisfied! Without conclusive evidence, she can only be imprisoned for a period of time, which can’t atone for the crimes she committed.

My mother was killed by Wang Po.”

During Han Dong’s conversation, his various expressions were all on point.

This kind of emotional disguise, Han Dong often used it during gatherings with other teachers in his department.

Honestly, Han Dong doesn’t like socializing… But due to work requirements, he had to participate in all sorts of gatherings and social interactions.

Being a native-born overseas Chinese himself, Han Dong has to act friendly, polite, and amiable in order not to be excluded by other professors at the university.

Chen Li’s expression remained unchanged, “So you want her… to disappear, right?”

Han Dong acted surprised as if he did not know that Chen Li also hated Wang Po: “Miss Chen Li, you?”

“Me? Do you really think I paid Wang Po to exorcise evil spirits from me? Haha… Don’t joke around. If it were not for you guys, wouldn’t Wang Po have already disappeared last night?

This is even better! Originally, I was still considering how to ‘resolve’ you college students who suddenly meddled in my plan.”

“Then…” Han Dong tried to draw out Chen Li’s plan.

“Wang Po’s fate was sealed as soon as she came here. All you need to do is take your friends away and go home to wait for her death notice.”

Han Dong immediately responded, “No problem!”

Although Han Dong’s acting is good, Chen Li’s alertness is also very high…she doesn’t reveal her plan directly.

In her heart, her brother Daqing is the only person worthy of trust.

“Why do you want to help us?”

Han Dong shrugged his shoulders, making a helpless expression, “Help you? No… I just want the Wang Po couple to get what they deserve, the sooner the better!”

For a while, there was no sound in the hall.

About two minutes passed…

Chen Li didn’t see any lies or hypocrisy in Han Dong’s eyes, she put down her kitchen knife and whispered, “Fine… if everything goes according to plan, my brother will mess up the Wang Po couple’s car, and they will still stay in the low-rise building tonight.

Tonight, a certain amount of laxative will be added to the drinking water for the Wang Po couple.

My brother and I will take action in the hut.

You just need to keep an eye on your classmates, don’t let them leave the room at night, let alone get near the hut.

Tomorrow, you just need to tell your companions that the Wang Po couple left early in the morning because their car was repaired, and they returned to the village ahead of time. My brother will rent a car to take you back to the city.”

“Okay!”

As Han Dong agreed.

Chen Li suddenly charged forward at an incredible speed.

Her face suddenly moved close to Han Dong, their faces nearly touching… she whispered in Han Dong’s ear,

“If any of you get near the hut tonight and discover this… we’ll have no choice but to kill you all, understand?”

“No problem.”

The negotiation was successful.

Han Dong chose to assist the ‘siblings’ in this particular line of task.

The reason is simple.

The sister and brother, who are determined to take revenge at all costs but still hold some kindness and are unwilling to harm the university students,

are definitely more ‘useful’ than the Wang Po couple who suppress their conscience and deceive people all the time.

The Wang Po couple who act solely for their own benefit, even if they are helped or saved… in a life-threatening situation, they will flee at the first opportunity.

Being on good terms with the couple has no value.

Soon after Han Dong returned to his room.

When the time came, Wang Po summoned everyone to room No. 6 and let “Possessed” Chen Li lie on the bed.

The Return Human Ceremony began.

Because of Han Dong’s intervention, the plot of the film changed.

Chen Li, who was originally supposed to go mad during the ceremony, chose to lie quietly on the bed and wait for the three hours of the ‘return human’ to end.

Forcing herself to drink the talisman water made by Wang Po, she then smiled, pretending that the evil spirit inside her had been expelled.

‘The ceremony was successful’

Daqing’s acting skills also surprised Han Dong.

He knelt down and hugged Wang Po’s thigh, snot running down his face, tearfully calling out ‘benefactor’, while also handing over the prepared ceremony fee.

After a short rest, the Wang Po couple did not stay for lunch.

Han Dong and others are limited because they can’t leave the resort.

They need to wait until Chen Li has fully recovered, question her about her feelings during the ‘Return Human Ceremony’, and only then can the shooting be considered a success.

Thus, the Wang Po couple set off first.

Of course… Daqing tampered with the couple’s van in private.

Within an hour, because the car broke down on the way, it was impossible to walk the five-hour journey back… The Wang Po couple had no choice but to return to the resort and call the town’s repair team to come over.

The first step of the ‘revenge’ plan was successful.

The time arrived at the abandoned farm fun on the second night…
