My Cell Prison

Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Theatre
 

Blood Bat Wings.

The Count used the ‘Silver Chain’ to reinforce and personally control his pet, advancing directly towards Han Dong who was near the eaves of the roof.

Just as the confrontation between the lords was about to officially begin-

“Togu… come back!”

Han Dong appeared to lack a desire to fight, decisively recalling Togu back into the Portable Prison.

Time to flee!

He had already planned out an escape route. As soon as Abe succeeded in leading away the big dog, Han Dong would immediately evade combat and escape… this was not the place where a battle should occur.

Wrapping his body with the Black Feather wings, he flew away from the roof at his fastest speed, entering the mansion through an open bedroom window… choosing the shortest route and the fastest speed, he hurried towards the forbidden area of the mansion found by his senior sister, Jane.

“Togu, Chen Li, the situation outside is up to you to handle. Do your best to buy me some time… If your lives are threatened, find a way to escape.”

“Ok, master.”

On his way to escape, Han Dong placed Chen Li and Togu in a hidden compartment inside the mansion.

…

“That’s no fun… I initially thought you as a young lord would be like that [New King]. You could have used some eternal treasure to enhance your own strength and confront me directly.

Why did you run away as soon as we met?”

The Count was not in a hurry.

This was his old home. He could use the blood energy scattered throughout the mansion to sense Han Dong’s location, confirming that the target had not escaped but was simply moving quickly within the mansion.

Taking into consideration the energy consumption and the side effects-

The Count temporarily released the ‘Silver Chain’ from controlling his pets and entered the mansion through the open window, chasing after Han Dong as quickly as possible.

Because the Silver Chain was not binding them-

The two pets, eager to devour the flesh and blood of their enemy, led the way, keeping about twenty meters away from the Count.

As they passed through some darker areas with more corners-

The pet centipede elder suddenly disappeared, its presence completely undetectable.

You should know that this was the Count’s home… but the Count had no idea where such a long centipede had gone.

“It seems that after this battle, I need to properly manage the manor… The housekeeper was right, relying solely on ‘Blood Brew’ as a reward to manage the manor presents too many fundamental issues.

This young lord actually found a loophole in my manor to target me… haha! I am really a bit of a failure as a lord.”

Just as the Count was feeling helpless-

The [corpse demon] floating ahead of him also disappeared with no trace, and the Count didn’t even know where the secret chambers within the mansion were located.

If the Count took the time to search now, he would undoubtedly be able to detect subtle movements and find out where the disappeared pets have gone.

But…

Through the sense of blood energy-

Han Dong is currently in a ‘rather troublesome’ area. He must rush over as quickly as possible… otherwise, some secrets involving himself, as well as the Scarlet Manor, will be revealed.

Furthermore, the Count’s covert dealings with one of Holy City’s mysterious figures could also be exposed.

“Ah… this is really troublesome! Lord Nicholas, have you been targeting my manor since the beginning? You even discovered my [Personal Theater].

Things could get quite complicated once certain information gets out.”

Not bothering to search for the disappeared pets any longer-

The Count chased after Han Dong at the fastest speed… The normal guards left to keep watch of the forbidden area had already turned into lifeless piles of black sand.

The information provided by the maid, Julia, was accurate.

The forbidden area in the mansion was the Count’s personal theater, also known as the ‘Stage of Laughter’.

All the slaves who were captured and brought back had the opportunity to perform here.

Once they could please the Count on stage, they could not only survive but also receive the title of a ‘Character’.

They had food to eat, clothes to wear, and enjoyed the same living conditions as the ordinary servants in the mansion.

The performance cycle was about once a week.

If subsequent performances could make the Count laugh out loud, they could even continuously be promoted as ‘Characters’… receiving more and more perks, and even receive the ‘Blood Brew’ offered by the Count to join the Scarlet Family.

However… if there was a performance that failed to make the Count laugh, the character would be executed on the spot.

Deeper inside this place beyond the private theater-

There were many more secrets hidden away.

Involving the Count’s ‘intimate’ affairs, the origins of the manor, and the confidential information about the Blood God…

Through the use of ‘Life Absorption’, Han Dong slayed all the guards along the way and officially arrived at the forbidden area.

Designed like an opera house, it could accommodate six hundred people at once.

During the Count’s viewing, six hundred ‘laughter personnel’ would be brought in to create an atmosphere.

The stage hidden by a blood-red curtain was stained with various blood stains, and various props for performances were piled on it.

Such as clown boxes and clown costumes, moving mannequins, or some weird and magical props.

“Laughter attribute… Each lord subordinate of the Blood God, in addition to the main attribute of [Blood], has an additional characteristic attribute.

For example, the housekeeper’s [Insect], Count Bach’s [Laughter].

Unfortunately… it happens to coincide with the attribute of the Clown – Pennywise.

Moreover, according to the details I have currently collected and observed, the Count is not entirely loyal to the Blood God… this fact can be proven by the fact the Blood God Sect sent observers.

The Count takes advantage of the portability of the Movable Deed to carry out many private activities.

Such as secretly communicating with the chairman of the Writer’s Association in Holy City…The secret should be hidden deep within here.

Of course, this isolated area deep within the mansion also completely fits with my plan.

I hope Togu and Chen Li can buy enough time for me…”

Han Dong completely released several crows, searching for the secret area within the theater. He himself sat at the edge of the stage, quietly awaiting the Count’s arrival.

“Lord Nicholas, what do you mean by this? It’s not good enough outside the manor? You have to run here… This is my private theater. It will be hard to fix if you damage it.”

The Count entered through the main door of the theater.

As he spoke, his hands were already making minor movements. After all, the Count didn’t want anyone to probe the secrets here.

A bloodhound made up of pure blood formed in the shadowy area of the stage. Its whole body was covered with spikes and it lunged fiercely at Han Dong… Even if such a blood construct were smashed, it would continue to invade targets in the form of blood.

Click…

Han Dong’s magic staff gently tapped the ground.

A ripple of black spread out.

When the ripple came into contact with the incoming bloodhound, its pure blood body immediately turned into black sand, with its life force ‘evaporating’ instantly.

“Count, stop these small tricks… Come on! Let’s fight face to face!”

Han Dong, as an Apprentice Knight, slightly beckoned at the Count, a Mature Deviant Demon, with his fingers…
