Thirty minutes after meeting Nina.

Sister Nina, who looks like a mechanical apprentice, finally calmed down...... She could never have imagined that her 'brother' would survive.

On the way home, Nina finally asked what she had been hiding for a long time:

"You...... It's not 'brother', is it? ”

In fact, before Han Dong entered the destiny space, Nina said something similar.

"How do you tell?"

"Brother Valen is completely 'different' from you, he's lazy and a scoundrel...... It's not what 'brother' should be. Unwilling to do anything, stay at home all day with nothing to do.

After being forced to participate in the 'Destiny Space', he has completely given up hope of life by putting on the clockwork device.

In the morning when the space of destiny was about to open, he ran out of the house alone, and I thought he committed suicide early because he was too scared. ”

"He did commit suicide...... I happened to bump into it, and that's what it is. ”

Han Dong confessed like this after careful consideration.

Judging from Nina's words, she didn't like this Valen at all. Nicholas, even looked down on such an older brother.

Han Dong currently has the status of a 'returnee', and Nina will never do anything unfavorable to Han Dong, and it is very likely that she will accept all this.

"Suicide...... You are? ”

"Rest assured, I'm human at heart. Since I have accepted your brother's body, I am also a member of your family. ”

A hint of worry flashed in Nina's eyes, and after a while, she nodded slightly:

"Actually, that's pretty good...... At least, Mom will never worry about her brother again. Thank you...... I'll keep it a secret if there's anything about you. ”

"Hmm."

As long as Nina Ken fully trusts him, the possibility of his identity being exposed will also be minimized.

That's when it happened.

This sister Nina, who had short brown hair and wore goggles, took the initiative to take Han Dong's hand from the side and said with a smile: "Brother, let's go home...... Mom never imagined that you would come back alive. ”

Han Dong, an old man who had spent most of his life in the laboratory, was held by this young girl, and his body trembled slightly.

"Hmm...... By the way, will my 'returnee' status help your family? ”

"Of course, at least I don't have to force myself into the 'Destiny Space', so I can have enough time to prepare.

In addition, once you study in the Knight Academy, the school will allocate a special school district house on the other side of the [Mosrabi River], and my mother and I can move out of the civilian area and live a worry-free life. ”

As soon as she said this, Nina snickered privately and was very happy.

"Hmmm! Such...... Come to my room in the evening...... I have a lot of things to ask you. ”

"Uh-huh, no problem! I'm also half a mechanical apprentice, and I know a lot of information from my master that ordinary civilians don't know. ”

In this way, Han Dong, who solved the identity problem, followed Nina back to a close-knit collective building in the civilian area.

It is as tight and chaotic as the Walled City of Kowloon.

Nina walked through countless passages, navigating through multiple branches in a serpentine dark alley that only allowed one person to pass, before she found a damp, dark ascending stairway.

Seventh floor.

Humble two-bedroom room.

With no sunlight on all sides, the room is lit by several small kerosene lamps.

It's different from what it looks like from the outside...... In this lowest-level civilian home, metal is extremely rare, and the furniture is mostly made of wood.

I heard the door open.

A slightly rickety 'mother' with a little gray hair between her brown hair stepped out.

is different from the plump Western woman in Han Dong's influence.

Nicholas's mother gave people a feeling of pre-aging and skinny, and it was difficult for the family to solve the problem of food and clothing...... Only Nina's health was slightly better.

"Oh my God! Valen...... Am I dazzled? You're alive? ”

Although there was something wrong with such words coming out of his birth mother, no one would believe that a frail and sickly son like Nicholas could come back alive.

Han Dong just nodded slightly and responded, "Hmm...... Mom, we'll be able to move out of here soon. I'm tired today, so I'll go back to my room and rest. ”

"Rest, dinner is ready, let Nina bring it in for you."

The 'mother' who cried with joy and the concerned eyes cast made Han Dong uncomfortable.

He lowered his head and quickly walked back to the room.

When he shouted the word 'Mom' just now, there was a slight fluctuation in Han Dong's spiritual level...... After all, Han Dong has been an orphan since he was a child and has never been exposed to the word parents.

"Family issues will be left to that for now.

Since you are honest with Nina, the problem of identity leakage can be minimized.

Moreover, judging from the fact that the state compulsorily requires young people to enter the space of destiny and urgently needs talents, as a 'returnee', even if it is known that I am an outsider who has taken Nicholas's body, it should not be too much of a problem.

What this country wants is talent, and as long as the position of talent is completely inclined to the holy city, they should accept it.

Of course...... It is naturally best not to reveal your identity. ”

Han Dong lay on the comfortable wooden bed, ready to take on the next big thing.

He had just returned from the space of destiny, and he thought that neither Nina nor his mother would disturb him.

Activate the Faceless Skull.

Han Dong has appeared in the prison area...... However, this time I didn't come to see Miss Chen Li.

Opening the door of the sterile laboratory, Han Dong's purpose this time was to test the collected "cell essence".

Sure enough, the injection placed on the central platform already contained the "cell essence" collected by Han Dong from the corpse of a special life during this incident.

Take out the syringe and come to the clean bench.

Even before his death, Han Dong had done countless cell inoculation experiments on such a workbench.

But at present, there is also some nervousness, and some worries that the improper operation will hurt this mass of cells that symbolizes his body.

"It's hard to get started...... As long as you can succeed once. ”

Han Dong took out a hundredfold spirit and stared at the cell mass on the operating table.

If there is any discomfort in the cell clump during the injection, he will stop.

However, things were simpler than Han Dong imagined.

As the syringe approaches the cell mass, the plasma membrane opens a hole by contraction, just enough for the needle to slip into......

Injection!

Slowly pushing the needle pump, the essence is injected into the cell mass little by little.

When the injection is complete, a chime sounds:

"The Cell Essence has been fully infused, and the [Maximum Weight Load] has been increased by 25 points (5 points from the Plague Sample, 20 points from the Wraith Sample)』

"Five plague monsters are only 5 points...... An evil spirit has 20 points! ”

Han Dong was taken aback.

The weight limit has really been raised!

In this way, he can find a new body or body part, and slowly repair or replace the weak body.

"Let's start with [hand] first......"
