Campfire Shelter

"'Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis' is generally called 'ALS'. The development of your disease is a bit troublesome, and the prognosis of treatment may not be ideal, but you can try and pass."

"No, no need"

Colin sat in the wheelchair and shook his head, "Dr. Wang, it's been almost a year. I already know everything I need to know. Can I be discharged directly?"

Dr. Wang's words stalled, and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw the young man's calm face as if he was ready to face everything, he then thought of the family situation that the other party had filled in on the medical record report.

Finally he sighed and said nothing.

"Prescribe some medicine, it can provide some relief," Dr. Wang, who is nearly middle-aged, paused and added, "Don't worry, it's not expensive."

Not long after, he couldn't help but sigh after watching the young man leave the office in a wheelchair.

They are only twenty years old, so young.

As a doctor, he certainly hopes that every patient will leave the hospital in good health.

But sometimes.

Life is so cruel.

However, what he didn't know was that Colin, who had returned home, was not as "desperate" as he thought.

When I got home, it was already noon, 11:03.

Colin sat on the edge of the bed, frowning and looking at a letter in his hand.

[Bonfire Company Invitation Letter].

This letter was received this morning while I was in a daze on the hospital bed waiting for the test results. Inside was a letter that looked like parchment, and there was a very funny sentence on the letter -

"Do you want to get rid of despair and regain a new life? Do you want to truly see the reality of this world? Join Bonfire Company and you will reverse everything!"

It looks like a classic line from a novel more than ten years ago.

But compared to this sentence, what really matters is the second paragraph under this sentence!

"If you agree to join our company, please put your thumb print below before the countdown ends at '00 hours, 57 minutes and 59 seconds.'"

The countdown on this line of text actually keeps moving!

The moment Colin saw the countdown to walking, he was sure that some kind of power beyond reality might be coming to him.

But at the same time, some questions emerged in his heart.

Why did this company find him?

What is so special about him that such a special company should invite him?

Compared with those people who are incredibly good, he can't be considered outstanding in any way, right?

This is also the reason why he has not pressed his fingerprints for a long time.

Sitting in the room, Colin's mind wandered and his brain made meaningless associations.

"Is it because there is little risk in cheating someone who is about to die to have their waist cut off? That's why you came to me?"

"When I think about it, it seems true. I would remove the useful body parts and throw the body away somewhere. Besides, I don't have much money and I am suffering from an incurable disease. No one will pay much attention to it if I report it as a missing person. Hmm. ?etc"

"'The Dying Man'."

Colin suddenly realized something while muttering to himself. He rolled his eyes and looked at a full-length mirror indoors, looking at his pale and thin face in the mirror that could not hide his temperament.

He noticed that aside from those unrealistic and unverifiable ideas, he seemed to have an "advantage" that could not be ignored.

That is.

He is dying.

Generally, people like him who have no choice but to wait for death suddenly find that they still have a glimmer of hope, even if it's just a glimmer.

Colin believed that under the instinct of survival, no matter how unreasonable the request was, someone would do it, and they would rush to do it!

"However, this does not include me. If you really want to use this to turn me into a puppet who obeys orders, it is simply an insult to the bottom line of my conscience!"

Looking at the countdown that was about to begin, Colin wanted to say this, but then he thought about it.

Even though I have been of good moral character since I was a child and can always stick to my heart when faced with dangerous temptations, this does not mean that others can withstand such temptations.

What if it doesn't succeed on you and harms others?

Colin's eyes sharpened.

The good virtues molded by the old dean since he was a child made him unable to sit idly by and ignore possible innocent victims!

"Let me see your real face!"

Colin stretched out his thumb and pressed it under the letter without hesitation.

The countdown to walking freezes at the moment you press it with your finger.

Looking at the countdown that was almost over, Colin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart——

One didn't pay attention and almost missed it!

Well, I almost didn't make it in time to save those who might have gone astray.

At the same time, new content appeared on the parchment paper.

[The onboarding trial mission is about to begin, and "Advent Protocol G-1" is being launched. Bonfire Company (full name: Bonfire Camp Special Item Containment Company) wishes you all the best in this event! 】

【"Arrival Protocol G-1" has started】

"Clang—clang—clang—"

The distant, heavy, ancient bell ringing in my ears.

The unknown gray fog does not know when to cover the sky.

Colin felt himself sinking.

This seemed to mean that he was being sent to an unknown and mysterious place.

only

Just at this time.

【Report! "Advent Protocol G-1" encountered strong interference during operation and an accident occurred. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused. 】

【We are quickly checking the solution to this problem for you.】

[The plan has been formulated, and the following methods are available:]

[1. After your consciousness is clear, please establish new connections by chanting the full name of the company]

【2.Please.】

Before he could finish reading, Colin's eyes darkened.

After an unknown amount of time, the moment he regained consciousness and opened his eyes, his whole body was stunned.

"Where is this?"

Colin propped up his body and looked around blankly. His vision gradually changed from blurry to clear, and a prison-like scene came into view.

He saw the rusty iron bars, the torches hanging on the corridor walls, and the figure lying next to him under the light of the torches.

Corpse? !

"grass!"

Colin suddenly woke up and jumped to his feet, instantly getting rid of his brain's hazy state.

There was a corpse lying next to him!

To be more precise, it is a mummy that has been completely drained of flesh and blood!

It was unknown how long it had been dead. Under its rag-like clothes, there were only skeletons wrapped in a thin layer of human skin. The hair was disheveled, the teeth on the face were exposed, and the eye sockets were sunken. It was ferocious and penetrating.

Much to Colin's relief,

This mummy died completely, and they didn't jump up and punch him when he was careless.

Taking a deep breath, Colin calmed down a little, and then quickly realized that he seemed to have traveled directly through time?

As for the reason for crossing over.

"What happened?"

Colin sat on the other side of the cell away from the body. The memories in his mind were chaotic, as if he had been hit by a dump truck, and he couldn't remember the specific details.

"I feel like a voice is asking me to remember something."

The last memory must be very important, but just as he was sorting through his mind little by little, there was a sudden sound of an iron door opening outside the prison corridor, interrupting his thinking.
