Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Dark Side
Han Dong held deep memories of the movie.

He very well knew that Ms. Carmody herself was actually not well-liked, and in the early part of the movie, she was always cornered and sought redemption alone.

However, it was the dire environment that provided her an unexpected chance to win people’s hearts.

But there was an important detail in the movie…

A scene from the middle of the movie was deeply engraved in Han Dong’s memory.

The supermarket’s glass windows were shattered by a giant poisonous insect, and when the swarm invaded the supermarket, a single sting from one of the insects led to death by the venom.

Then, one of the poisonous insects happened to land on Ms. Carmody.

Her zealous faith suppressed her inner fear, giving her an extraordinary calmness.

The movie gave a close-up shot of this, as the lady’s ‘calmness’ seemed to keep the insect from perceiving hostility, so it didn’t sting her with its venomous tail.

The scene seemed straightforward, however, on close inspection, there were flaws.

At that time, a large proportion of people in the supermarket were attacking the swarm, and massive flames were billowing inside the supermarket.

Even if the swarm was not inherently aggressive, it would react upon disturbance.

Anything could happen in the Fate Event, even some hidden ‘dark side’ circumstances not seen in the movie… maybe this religious fanatic is not as simple as she appears.

……

The plot had just begun.

After being mocked by Han Dong for her religious beliefs, Ms. Carmody, an unpopular person, showed a look of wanting Han Dong dead, and she stepped alone into the deserted supermarket’s rear warehouse.

Crack…

The moment Ms. Carmody stepped in, the swirling sand locked the back door from the shadows.

In the time to come, no one would interrupt their ‘rendezvous’.

Due to the power outage, the rear warehouse was pitch-dark.

The generator set up in the warehouse was in charging mode and couldn’t be started… therefore, the thick electric door of the warehouse was closed.

Ms. Carmody, the extremist, entirely saw Han Dong as a demon sent by Satan.

Surprisingly, she didn’t display any fear in this dark warehouse environment, but rather…

Clang! Clang!

Ms. Carmody directly smashed the warehouse’s fire equipment, picked up the fire axe inside… the look in her eyes was as if she wanted to chop Han Dong in half.

“Sure enough, it’s weird. No matter how fanatical a person is, they wouldn’t want to kill me over just one sentence, right? In a normal law-abiding society, the law has great restrictions on people.

There were many problems with this woman in the movie.

Under the current influence of the Fate Space, she might reveal some even more frightening ‘dark sides’. Be careful.”

Han Dong silently observed from the roof of the warehouse, not planning to act yet.

After all, the System had explicitly warned not to kill this person maliciously.

Han Dong’s plan was simple, just waiting for the mist to envelop the supermarket, then he would quietly start the generator, raising the roller shutter door of the warehouse, thereby luring this woman to approach the warehouse exit.

In the original movie plot.

The first death in the supermarket was a person who was captured and eaten by a ‘devouring’ tentacle at the warehouse exit.

But… this was not the movie.

Fate Space only adopted the background and some settings from “Mist”… an unforeseen circumstance occurred.

Buzz!

The fire axe was suddenly thrown out without any warning, and as Han Dong turned his head, it skimmed past his cheek.

Crack!

The axe blade plunged into the wall, showcasing the enormity of its power.

“Come down, the believer sent by Satan.”

With her mouth split wide open and void eyes, Carmody looked up at the spot where Han Dong was hidden.

Since it came to this, Han Dong no longer hid, he landed firmly five meters away from Carmody.

“Satan’s messenger… You’re trying to lure me out of the vital Judgement Holy Land, then you’ll ‘occupy’ the humans in the supermarket by yourself? Truly despicable.

This is where I witness the judgment, I won’t allow you to destroy it.”

Han Dong squinted, saying calmly, “Sure enough, you knew beforehand that a disaster was coming…”

“Judgment will come sooner or later, it just happens to be today.”

After completing her sentence, Ms. Carmody suddenly convulsed… revealing her ‘dark side’ which didn’t exist in the movie.

She threw her head back so much that her neck was completely torn apart.

From the torn neck, several tentacles with scythe-like tips rapidly grew… reaching a length of over two meters, and swiftly slashing through the air.

At the same time.

Her waist also completely split open, her vertebral column extending to three meters.

Only through a single layer of neck skin and a few blood vessels, the scraped-off brain hanging behind the body was speaking:

“This is the ‘form’ gifted by the holy lord for me… to punish believers of Satan like you and inflict upon you pain exceeding that of hell.”

“This….”

This form, in Han Dong’s eyes, had nothing to do with the so-called God, but rather resembled the peculiarities of ‘life outside the city’.

“Your relationship with important character [Ms. Carmody] is now ‘Hostile’, the opponent has revealed her real form, and killing her would not cause ‘acceleration’, but will cause substantial changes to the subsequent plot.”

“Nice!”

After hearing this reminder, Han Dong no longer hesitated, there was no need to wait for the mist to arrive.

Yellow sand-like vessels suddenly roused on Han Dong’s left arm, the sand-like substance flowing inside was not like blood, but more like yellow sand.

“Die.”

In an instant.

Over ten sand cones sprouted directly from beneath Ms. Carmody’s feet.

Swish!

Flesh and blood life forms held absolutely no resistance, shattered by the piercing sand cone in the blink of an eye, leaving only scattered residue on the ground.

But…

“Huh? The sandification effect is not significant….”

The yellow sand ability inherited from the Undying Priest Imhotep’s arm didn’t only control the sand, any organism touched by it would rapidly form silicate crystals inside the body, a condition which could kill swiftly.

However, the current Ms. Carmody, who was pierced and shattered, was barely affected by the sandification.

Only some signs of sandification appeared on the skin of a few remaining body parts.

In no more than two seconds, the scattered limbs started moving on their own and irregularly forming combinations.

A finger combined with a scythe tentacle formed a mobile tentacle.

Several scythe-like tentacles with a brain combined into an independent life form.

The heart was linked to many blood vessels, becoming a creature that could suck blood.

“I have dedicated everything to my ‘lord’. I am immortal…”

Diverse grotesque limbs attacked Han Dong all at once.

Seeing such a bizarre scene made Han Dong feel a bit uncomfortable.

A sense of dizziness and nausea formed in his heart… it seemed that because of the closure of the Faceless Skull, Han Dong had lost his resistance to such indescribable entities.

On seeing this scene, even if he didn’t feel fear, his brain consciousness was having a hard time accepting it.
