I’m very sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh… Can we wait here? If someone checks out last minute, give us their room.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff member awkwardly replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, under normal circumstances, we don’t have last-minute checkouts… If you continue along this mountain road or drive seven kilometers to Chestnut Valley, you should be able to find a nice hot spring inn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem, let me wait… Maybe someone will check out later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A university-aged couple was walking in the bustling corridor, completely oblivious to the horrific rumors about the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they opened the door, a gust of cold wind brushed across their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strange, why didn’t they close the window?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl, who was quite cute, took off her shoes and ran to close the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeak…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the closed window couldn’t be locked. It seemed like something was jammed inside the lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guangye, can you come and check what’s wrong with this window?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man turned on his phone’s flashlight and shined it at the window lock, instantly turning pale with fright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hair?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the light, a great deal of hair had been stuffed into the keyhole and it was slightly wriggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the frightened young couple prepared to call the staff for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl turned her head to look at the wardrobe mirror in the corner of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mirror reflected an angle of the room that was otherwise hidden from view—between the wardrobe and the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman in red was standing close to the wardrobe, watching both of them through the mirror… From beneath her black hair, a pair of crimson lips protruded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gua…Guangye… there’s… there’s a ghost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple, now pale with fright, hastily checked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They left the inn as quickly as possible, almost sprinting out of there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple brushed past Han Dong who was waiting at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next to the window of the room they had stayed in, a woman in red was still quietly waving… Not to further scare the young couple, but instead silently signaling to Han Dong that she had fulfilled her request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir… Please follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow! This room is so cool!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having grown up in the Holy City, Winry temporarily forgets about the danger at hand, mesmerized by the novelty of this Japanese-style room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia’s cheeks slowly flush as she stares at such a cozy room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She unwittingly imagines spending alone time with Han Dong in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… Mia knows what’s important right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just put the demon sword wrapped in cloth on the floor, planning to set up a spider web barrier in the corner of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon sword that touched the floor vibrates slightly, as if something has been activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the four of them go on high alert! Their eyes scan every corner of the room, ready for an ambush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ten minutes, nothing unusual happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mia released a small wolf spider, sharing its vision and sent it outside the window and the door for reconnaissance. Everything in the inn seemed normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everything is normal… However, since the demon sword itself reacted, it means we’re on the right track.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the next move?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To the hot springs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the open-air hot spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of the four of them soaking together undoubtedly attracted the attention of the other people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Han Dong, who was rather unremarkable, the other three drew many looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abe might not have been as handsome as Cass, but his head full of wolf-like white hair looks ‘quite cute’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, when Abe soaked in the all-natural hot spring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body’s pores were stimulated, growing a considerable amount of white fluffy hair. Although it was not clear in the water… however, Han Dong who was next to Abe could feel this smooth, fluffy sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the two girls in their swimsuits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing such high-quality foreign girls was a rare spectacle, stirring bad intentions in some soaking faction members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the boyfriends of the two girls were not particularly strong, they boldly flirted and even reached out their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Dong and Abe didn’t even need to lift a finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winry grabbed the person’s hand and with a slight effort, she tossed him away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bare ass was seen flying into the dark woods, disappearing without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Winry who was originally fully submerged in the bath slowly surfaced… She is usually quite shy, especially since it’s her first time wearing a tight swimsuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at Winry’s ‘hardened and lean’ body that still looked attractive, any malicious foreigners dismissed their bad intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow… It’s so comfortable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winry submerged half of her head into the hot spring, playfully blowing bubbles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she remembered something and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deputy leader! What did you mean by ‘bionic humans’ that you mentioned at the store entrance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Winry, your ‘perception’ is not strong enough yet, Mia and Abe should have noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humans we saw in the park, although they behave exactly like real people – they go to work, have families, have emotional fluctuations, and even encounter strange incidents and die – but they are not truly human.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Han Dong’s conspiracy theory and looking at the people around them who were bathing and laughing in the hot spring, Winry turned pale with fright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah! Deputy leader, stop scaring me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A timid Winry hugged Mia tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not trying to scare you. These people seem to be missing something. They’re like…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Dong swallowed back words that Winry wouldn’t understand, like ‘genetic engineering’ and ‘3D printing’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly remembered the ‘Human Refinement’ he learned about during his fight with Dumps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re like humans created through ‘Human Refinement’. They lack certain necessities of a real human… yet their existence stabilizes the park.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Human Refinement… I heard my master mention it before. It seems to be a form of alchemy prohibited by the Holy City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Dong was slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect that Dumps not only had connections outside of the city, but also practiced forbidden techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mia… any response from the demon sword?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Han Dong’s instruction, Mia carried the demon sword with her via her spider silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No… Do we need to go check the forest area? But we haven’t heard the cry of the woman from the rumors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No… Just continue soaking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Dong was silently observing everything in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off…\u003C\u002Fp>",1199,"2026-06-03T14:08:19.788Z",1,"novelbin.me","967368f7ec3ae69ee32859d60b2a60ca41f6354ddb582b7242a4d9dc8a0c3870","my-cell-prison-chapter-295","my-cell-prison-chapter-293",2176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-cell-prison-cover.jpg"]
