My Cell Prison
Chapter 37: The Ghoul Case

"Ghoul Case"

Han Dong immediately became curious.

"Is the inside of the Holy City not absolutely safe either? Ghouls...monsters in Western literature...why do they appear in private homes?

From what this trainee knight said, it seemed that behind the incident, there was also a corresponding bounty issued by the relevant organization, and if one could solve such incidents, they would receive a certain bounty.

He should have assessed the strength of the ghouls in terms of the damage to the corpses, which might be why he is rather reluctant to do it on his own, hence choosing to temporarily recruit teammates.

If you go up to assist, you can use it to gain an in-depth understanding of such incidents and why monsters appear in private homes, as well as learn about things related to the bounty and receive a certain amount of money, which I'm also very short of right now.

But there are risks...easy exposure, plus I'm not officially in the Academy yet, and dealing with ghouls could be dangerous."

Faced with this young blond knight's temporary recruitment order, Han Dong didn't move for the time being.

He hadn't officially entered the knight academy yet, had no training related to mysticism, and wouldn't be able to do any of the mystical skills other than the tentacle attack that came with the faceless head.

"Wait... there's one if you're an enemy skill!"

..........

After waiting for about five minutes, the young knight was helpless for a while.

"Most trainee knights study within the academy, and even if they go out, they won't 'go down' to the civilian area to waste time.

The reward was only about a suspected theft of a corpse in the cemetery at the intersection of the Ghanaian Civilian Area and the Samai Civilian Area... Since the interval wasn't too long, we were asked to come and capture the newborn ghoul that had just transformed into a ghoul due to a depraved mind.

Judging from the depth of the scratches and fungal residue on the corpse, it must have been an adult ghoul.

The information has been sent back to the academy and the bounty has been raised... but if I go back now to find a team, this ghoul will most likely slip away.

A large amount of monetary rewards, plus extra credit points, I can't bear to give up!

But I can't joke with my own life."

The young knight put away his sword, seemingly not intending to enter the house to investigate... There was no need to take the risk when one was alive, especially since he was now successfully pursuing further studies in the academy.

At this moment, a thin, brown-haired young man in the crowd slowly squeezed out.

Wearing a slightly oversized linen shirt, bones were visible under the yellowed skin.

"Dangerous area, prohibited..."

A golden card was handed out just as a policemen was about to use brute force to push Han Dong back into the crowd.

"Trainee Knight!!!"

For a moment the security officers all stared at Han Dong with astonished eyes and volunteered to make way for him.

"I don't know if I can help."

After some thought, Han Dong determined that the benefits gained by helping out outweighed the drawbacks of not helping.

"How many major points are there?"

The young knight came over and examined Han Dong up and down... To be honest, even the group of nerds who were majoring in [Library] were in much better physical condition than Han Dong .

"Two points [Mysticism], my name is Aaron Andeva." Han Dong deliberately used a pseudonym, but other party couldn't find out now anyway.

"Two points... just enough to qualify, except that the [Mysticism] you're studying is a bit troublesome to deal with ghouls in this space-constrained environment.

Introduce yourself.

My name is Cass Martini, who has now allocated three Destiny Points to the [Crusade]... strength and speed to fight against ordinary ghouls head-on.

It's just that this is the problem at the moment.

I just come over to take a look." Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NʘvᴇlFirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Guided by Cass, the two arrived at the lady hanging from the doorway.

"The initial bounty I received referred only to 'newborn ghouls'.

But the scars on the dead bodies indicate that the ghouls currently hiding in this building have long since matured...I even suspect that the family is deliberately hiding it, secretly raising ghouls in the basement.

Mature ghouls are slightly superior to me in every way.

Most troublesome of all, the vitality issue! Other than cutting off his head or penetrate his heart, no other attack will stop the ghoul."

"Okay."

As Han Dong listened, he examined the claw-shaped wounds on the women's body and analyzed them internally.

{The part torn open by the claws has gangrene symptoms, swollen cells and tissues, and the blood circulation is severely impaired... Even if it's not a fatal wound, just one scratch is enough to make a person die quickly.

Is this a ghoul? No wonder this trainee knight didn't dare to carry out the mission alone.

It's more dangerous than I thought, and if you get injured and don't get immediate treatment, you'll most likely die.}

"Andewa, tell me what you can do? If you're partial to predictive detection abilities like astrology, you're better off leaving."

Han Dong was direct.

Taking out a short blade that wrapped around this green scent.

This caused Cass in front of him to reveal his shock, "A Fate weapon that matches the major attribute! What's the point?"

"Can unleash a single non-directed plague attack."

"Plague... Ghouls may possess some resistance.

However, since it's a Fate weapon, the effect will definitely be there. Alright, when you fight later, make sure to listen to my command and don't act recklessly... Also, if you're not feeling well, make sure to hide behind me."

"Good."

Cass secretly pulled on Han Dong's sleeve, leaning close while asking in a small voice, "Ahem, by the way... how did you get this Fate Weapon?"

"Hidden event."

"Sure enough! I told them, those guys don't believe me!

The chances of turning up a weapon from a Fate card with a small chance of getting it from the main event are abysmally low. You must explore hidden events as much as possible to obtain Fate weapons from hidden rewards... I envy you.

Although this Sword Shield of mine is made of pure silver and has some exorcism effect, it's not even close to the Fate Weapon.

Wait for me for a moment.

I'll have the vigilantes here bring their muskets and surround the building! In case the ghouls suddenly flee during their battle against us."

From the way Cass spoke and the way he handled things, it was clear that this wasn't the first time he had taken on this type of bounty assignment.

After arranging the personnel, the body of the mistress was then wrapped up and transported by the relevant personnel to the church for purification and cremation.

Everything was ready.

Han Dong followed behind Cass and stepped into the Victorian-style villa together.

As soon as he entered, he could smell a stench of decaying flesh.

Cass is slightly uncomfortable, but Han Dong, on the other hand, is fine.

After all, Han Dong was a man who dealt with the fungus all day long before he was born, and if something went wrong with the fungus culture, the smell... could make one immediately desire to go on a diet and lose weight.

"Where are your goggles?"

Cass pulled the requisite brass goggles from his waist and put them on his head.

"No carrying them right now."

"You're not... afraid of death? Once you're subjected to mental contamination, it's not just a matter of going to alleviate 'stress'... Luckily, I brought my spare goggles with me when I left the house today, so take them."

"Thanks."

Han Dong took them and quickly put them on

Cass said, "You're a mystic, you should know more about the [Ghouls] than I do... Even though they're humanized, they have some connection with what's outside the city walls, so put on your goggles!

Once damaged, withdraw from the battle immediately."

"Good."

Han Dong didn't understand at all.

Hearing Cass say that, he became even more curious about the function of the "Goggles" and the higher beings that occupied this world.
