Campfire Shelter

"Looking at the requirements of this mission, even if I don't want to destroy this life-and-death love, there is nothing I can do."

Shaking his head, Colin pulled out the extremely long imitation Han sword from the "storage room".

He took the initiative to skim the effects of props that reduce the sense of presence.

Then, flames rolled and exploded on his body.

It was at this moment that the "ghost witch" wearing a complicated black gothic style lace dress next to the "corpse" of the former employee was seen for the first time. The bunch of exquisite eyes on her delicate face faced Ke. Lin's gaze.

She seemed to recognize Colin's identity and knew that he should be a member of the company, so she didn't attack immediately.

The confrontation between the two sides lasted for several seconds before Colin said: "He is already dead. If possible, I hope you can let go and let me help him get out of trouble, instead of continuing to exist like this."

Although the employee's flesh and blood has existed in this way to this day, its essence has long since died, and it has been destroyed more completely than brain death. The genes have also been completely distorted in the collapse that lasted for an unknown number of years.

Even if there is a means of cloning, most likely nothing can be cloned.

Even in terms of metaphysics, Colin can't feel that there is any soul in this body.

So there is really no chance of saving it.

At least according to Colin's knowledge, there is nothing that can be saved, and it seems that there is nothing wrong.

Colin suddenly remembered a terrifying existence.

‘If ‘Red Moon’ takes action, there might be a chance. After all, ‘Father of the Ocean’ originally had only a pile of rotten meat that was full of pollution and had been rotting for who knows how many years. It is resurrected, which is a miracle. ’

‘If it was him who came to make a move, there might be a chance to save the pile of rotten meat in front of him. ’

'but'

Let "Red Moon" come here to save people?

Colin is not that naive yet. It would be nice if that guy doesn't come to cause trouble. Instead of imagining that he can save people, it feels more reliable to make "0-09 'Hungry'" give up the desire to "eat".

Of course, this is just his opinion, and the probability that the young woman ghost in front can accept this statement is almost zero.

But if there is a chance, he still wants to try to see if he can communicate to solve troubles and avoid conflicts.

However, it is a pity that

Before Ke Lin finished speaking, he heard a sharp female voice bursting out like tinnitus.

Feelings of swelling and tingling come to mind

'It seems that we can't talk, but is this some kind of mental attack? ’

Colin's head was swollen and his ears were ringing, but he felt that the problem was not serious.

Although the attack effect is not weak.

However, the horizontal comparison is too weak when facing level 0 contained objects, ancient gods and the like.

With his mental resistance, he didn't take this attack seriously at all.

At the same time, the "Ghost Witch" saw that the attack had no obvious effect, and her figure disappeared into the air. The surrounding scene became extremely dim at this moment, and the shadow effect seemed to be countless times thicker, and there was a shrill and weird laughter that echoed in the car. middle.

Countless weird and dark chains with thorns emerged from the rich darkness.

In addition, there are jet-black needles shooting from various corners.

Feeling the gloomy aura above, Colin knew that once he was pricked, even by just one needle, the outcome would not be good.

‘The surrounding scene changes very quickly. It feels like this method is a bit like the ‘field’ used by eighth-level official personnel.’

'Compared with the 15% liberation on the train, it is indeed much stronger now. I am afraid that even a D-class personnel may not be able to handle these things very well. He is indeed a serious graduate from 'Script Paradise' of. ’

Commenting secretly, Colin held the long sword and slashed hard, and a sword-like flame was swung out.

The dark atmosphere around him seemed to be torn apart.

Colin was about to explode the flames on his body, but a sense of crisis flashed through his heart and he quickly turned around and struck out with his sword.

"clang!"

The epee struck a pair of exquisitely curved short blades inlaid with obsidian.

"interesting."

Colin glanced at the pair of slender hands holding short blades.

With his brute force, which could easily overturn the bus, he was unable to suppress the out-of-control prop for a moment.

The stalemate lasted for less than a second, and countless iron chains and needles came from around him. At the same time, the "Ghost Witch"'s forehead and eyes were fixed on Colin again, trying to launch a powerful enough mental attack at close range.

If this set of attacks were successful, even Colin would have to pay some price.

It's just that it doesn't wait for her to complete this series of methods.

Colin's mouth bulged, and he suddenly blew out a strong breath. After the breath was blown out, it turned into a stream of flames and engulfed the "Ghost Witch".

"Ah!" Amid the screams, the "Ghost Witch" faded away again and her figure disappeared.

"What I am least afraid of in my life is sneak attacks from behind."

Colin murmured in his heart, he had done a lot of homework in order not to be stabbed in the waist.

And after forcing the "Ghost Witch" to retreat, the flames on Colin's body further erupted, following the "crack" that had just been torn open, completely breaking open the surrounding "field" that was not yet fully formed.

"It's time for me to get a field."

Colin let the flames spread on his body, preparing to uncover the hidden "Ghost Witch" and confine it.

But at this time, when the flames spread to the fat "corpse" of the former employee, the "ghost witch" who had been hiding reappeared and stood in front of his body. The rich black aura on her body exploded, preventing any trace of flame from touching " Corpse".

"It seems that I can only offend."

Colin dragged the Han sword and rushed forward, facing the opponent's hostile gaze and slashing it down.

Although he is not good at using any moves or anything like that

But it doesn’t matter, hard work works wonders.

Moreover, this "Ghost Witch" itself should be better at concealment, assassination and sneak attacks, but in order to protect her former owner, she had to fight Colin head-on, and she was severely restricted.

Amidst the jingling sound that lasted for hundreds or thousands of times, the "Ghost Witch" began to go downwind.

The black mist on its body has become much thinner, and its body is also somewhat transparent.

Finally, after catching a flaw, Colin held the big sword wrapped in flames and secretly used a "Heavy Strike: Unparalleled Strike".

Before coming into contact with it, "Ghost Witch" didn't seem to realize that this move seemed to be no different from a normal attack. It wasn't until the moment she came into contact with the attack that she realized something was wrong and wanted to increase her strength to counterattack.

But unfortunately, it's too late by now

The only way to survive is to blur away from reality for a short period of time and simply avoid it.

But if this is the case.

The owner behind him will be injured.

In an instant, the giant sword wrapped in flames rolled and cut off the somewhat transparent body of the "Ghost Witch" in half.

The flames that followed directly engulfed it.

Amid the shrill screams, the "Ghost Witch" collapsed into a puddle of dark mist and dispersed.

And its too weak state seems to have triggered the remaining protocols again.

Then, with a clang, a dagger inlaid with obsidian, like a work of art, fell into the carriage.

It's just that compared to what I saw before, all the gems on this dagger are shattered and the splendor is no longer there.

"call"

Colin took a deep breath and did not pick up the broken prop. Instead, he looked at the body in the train carriage that should have died an unknown length of time ago. He stretched out his hand and pointed it at the other person. A raging fire burst from the fat body. Burning up.

The fat "corpse" struggled desperately, screaming in pain, but unfortunately it was of no avail.

Within seconds, there was less and less movement.

However, at this moment, the dagger that fell to the side let out a shrill female neigh.

Then from the obsidian on the sword body, a slender white hand stretched out, grasped the ground in front of him, crawled into the flames, and let the flames ignite him. Finally, when he was next to the fat "corpse", he was mutilated. Half the body reappears.

Hold the twisted and deformed head into his arms.

Seeing this, Colin was silent, then took out a small bottle of "Fire Bearer" grease and poured it directly on it——

His current flames would definitely have no problem burning corpses.

But if you add another prop left behind, it would be a little bit insufficient.

Staring at the two figures in the firelight, Colin couldn't help but think that if at this time, the former employee could come back and say a final goodbye to the out-of-control prop that was guarding him, he might be able to make up for a lot of regrets.

It's a pity that such a touching scene never appeared.

Ten minutes later, under the increased amount of fire, this out-of-control prop was burned together with its former owner.

Among the large amount of ashes, the only thing left was a pitch-black irregular black gemstone.

However, before Colin could pick up the thing, an invisible vortex appeared and sucked such an item into it.

"Ah, I'll do the immoral thing, shouldn't I be the one to take over the legacy?"

Colin blinked.

However, as soon as the idea came to mind, I saw that after the gem was recovered, the events in the mission were displayed as completed.

Immediately afterwards, another new task popped up in my mind.

This time it is not a small task, but an independent task project.

[Event: "Complete the recovery of the remnants of C-level employees" has been sent to the "task column". 】

"This simple and direct task title, at first glance, is Ms. Rabbit, but in the end, I still have to contact that C-level employee."

Ke Lin wasn't very surprised, but it was strange, who was the persuading brother on the train?

While thinking, he opened the details page of this task.

【"Complete the recovery of the remnants of C-level employees"】

"Description": In this ruined world of fragments, the company has mastered a way to determine the specific locations of all dead people, but using this method will trigger a series of unknown situations.

"Requirement": Please be prepared. Before the mission officially starts, stay by the campfire, wait for the mission to officially start, quickly enter the "inner world" in this area, and complete the task of inheriting and receiving the legacy of the former company's C-level employees.

"Tip": The remaining time is "2 hours, 59 minutes and 57 seconds".

"Note": The recycling of this item will have a huge impact on the current structure. It has been determined that when the mission officially starts, the "Red Moon" followers, part of the will of the "Original Demon" and the demon vassals, "Bonfire Stalkers", etc. Enemies will appear with 100% probability.

In addition, "Exiled Demons", "Son of Sound" followers, "Destiny Society", "Kunshan Secret Realm", "End Revelers", etc. will be charged at 100%.

In addition 2, "Immortality" Research Institute, "Mirror World".

In addition 9

"hiss"

The first half of the mission was normal, but the second half of the mission made Colin's scalp feel a little numb.

What the hell is this recycling thing?

Why do so many troubles come suddenly?

And what are these?

"Hey, for this mission, it's just our group and we bring some soy sauce. How should we do it? It feels like it's not feasible to liberate '0-09' Hunger'."

Colin looked at the first row with an expression on his face. He didn't know other organizations, but these "Red Moon" followers.

If they summon some "red moon" power to come, it may not be impossible to fight against "hunger".

Plus a lot of other messy stuff.

It’s simply impossible to fight! ! !

But at this time, Colin noticed that after "Other 6" it was mentioned that the purpose of their arrival was not unified. Some were to prevent the company from recycling, and some were to obtain other things, such as contributing to the "ghost train" disaster. The source of interest.

There may even be some enemies among them, but they are not friendly.

Finally, there are some who may just come to watch the show, but if they have the chance, they probably don’t mind grabbing spots.

"Why does it feel like buying a stack of Riot Jenga for 0 yuan and making a mess?"

Colin looked at these gazes and felt dizzy.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the attack on these train carriages was probably not just bad luck, but had a high probability to be related to the items that were to be recycled.

Taking a deep breath, Colin looked at the time, and then quickly returned to the campfire.

As soon as they came over, they saw the "Son of Sexual Abuse" and others with extremely bad expressions.

Even if they didn't speak, Colin seemed to be able to read on their faces, "Ours is just an E-class, how can He De take on such a mission?"

"Brother Shunzi, are you sure about this mission?" "Son of Sex Abuse" said quickly.

"Additional 7" of the task mentions that help will be provided as much as possible, but it does not say what kind of help will be provided.

The only person they can rely on now is Brother Shunzi.

"Do your best."

Colin shook his head and said that he was not sure, which made several people look a little worse.

Although the mission stated that they would not die, it did not say whether it would make their lives worse than death.

"Don't worry about it now. Since the task has been sent, there should be a chance to complete it, but it may be a little more difficult than usual."

The old god Ke Lin, who usually does a lot of cheating tasks, is here, and knows that Ms. Rabbit will not send tasks that cannot be done.

Then, Colin asked, "Do you know anything about the forces mentioned in the mission?"

Here he seems to be in direct contact with only followers of "Red Moon" and demons.

Some of them have heard of others. For example, the "Destiny Society" seems to be one of the official's mortal enemies. It seems that they have always had ideas about the "Book of Numerology". As for others, some of them have never heard of it.

Hearing what Ke Lin said, several people looked at the "others" carefully again.

"I have seen followers of the Sons of Sound. They seem to be able to manipulate sound waves and control vibration attacks. So when these people appear, you should be careful about the sounds in your ears, because what you say may be changed. When we pressed Quest requirements, kicking over their 'Holy Grail' or something, ruining their ritual"

"I came across this 'Devil' before on a certain mission abroad. I felt that my brain was not normal, but my body was very strong. But later, according to the company's requirements, we roasted it into charcoal and handed it over."

"I heard that other employees of the 'Last Revelers' burned down their lair."

"."

Several people gathered around the campfire to discuss the information they knew. As they talked, they all felt something was wrong——

Why does it seem like everyone has been persecuted or indirectly persecuted by "Bonfire Company"?

"Are there any friendly beings up here?"

Colin touched his chin and suddenly asked a question.

"It should be possible" "Emperor Sun" said:

"The people in the 'Kunshan Secret Realm' seem to be able to control strange beasts. The last time they came into contact, they seemed to be friendly. Will they be friendly this time?"

"Ah? Is this a friendly side? Then when we were in Class F, we had a mission to blow up all their eggs under a certain factory." "Emperor Sun" on the side was very surprised.

After hearing his words, several people present fell silent.

“Oh, forget it, I’m not sure, let’s look back.”

Colin rubbed his forehead, and after chatting for a while, he did not continue the discussion.

After sharing all the information, they have only recognized less than half of the names in the mission, and there are still quite a few people who have no idea what their origins are.

There are too many people who have been persecuted by companies.

Colin suspected that there was a high probability that someone not on the list might appear.

The company may not even know how many things it has offended.

"What exactly is this C-level employee carrying? Just recycling will attract so many guys. Brother Shunzi, what is the specific situation of the mission you just sat on alone?" "Fol Mushroom" in the team looked confused. untie.

As soon as these words came out, several people looked at Colin at the same time, trying to get some information from him.

Unfortunately.

"I don't know either. The mission just now was not special."

Colin did not hide anything, and recounted the experience he had just had with the "Ghost Witch" and her former holder. Several people who listened felt envious in their hearts, lamenting that this thing actually has true love.

After saying this, he brought the topic back:

"But I estimate that even recovering a lost golden prop may not cause such a big reaction, so the value of the thing in the other party's hand may be higher than the golden prop."

As he spoke, Colin became increasingly confused. Since the value was so high, why didn't the company recycle it during its peak period?

But I have to put it off until now when there are only three or two kittens left before I remember this matter.

"Higher than the golden props" several people murmured to themselves when they heard this.

Then, "Diamond No. 7" sighed: "Oh, what the hell, it feels no better than an out-of-control copy."

"Hey, it seems that this time, there is a high probability that we will become 'former employees', or become dungeons for E-level personnel to brush." ​​"Fol Mushroom" laughed self-deprecatingly.

But even though they felt extremely stressed, they didn't give up completely.

After all, according to Brother Shunzi, it's not that there's no chance of completing this task, it's just a little bit difficult.

Of course, although essentially, this mission appears because of Brother Shunzi.

But most of the employees present were scooped up by the company at their most desperate moments, and they all experienced many incidents. They knew that now was not the time to split the pot. Since there is still a slight possibility of victory, they should not give up casually.

In further deepening the exchange of information, time passed little by little.

When the time came to the third hour, Colin and others all noticed at the same time that there was a letter beside the campfire.

At the same time, they also had an additional inspiration in their minds:

‘Throwing the letter paper directly into the bonfire and burning it means that the mission has officially started. If you don’t throw it away, the mission will also officially start ten minutes later, but it’s a bit passive. ’

"Let me open it."

After speaking, Colin stepped forward, picked up the letter on the ground, and threw it into the bonfire.

Hurrah.

The bonfire completely ignited the letter in an instant.

Then, as if it had received some kind of blessing, it burned violently, and expanded rapidly at this moment, deflagrating and rising to a height of a thousand meters in an instant, engulfing everyone present in the flames, and continuously pouring flames into the sky .

The rotating colorful aurora in the sky gradually dissolved due to the reflection of the fire.

A gap emerged.

The surrounding scene also became more distorted at this moment.

All things are in a vortex shape

There are a large number of colorful mineral crystals of different sizes around, like twist rolls.

now

Colin and others knew that they had entered a deeper "inner world".

And at the same time, he and other employees present had a complete map in their minds.

There are more than a dozen "X" marks on this map, and inside each mark, there are more or less bright red dots.

The five of them are also in an "X" mark.

"The 'mark' is the carriage, and the dots are the employees. There are more than thirty dots. It seems that not every employee is in the 'inner world', and some are on the surface."

Colin understood the meaning of these things almost immediately.

Then, almost subconsciously, he focused on the "X" mark that should be his nine o'clock direction, not the farthest, but not the closest either.

There is a bright spot that is larger than the "X".

The instructions for the mission were also told to him at the same time.

That's where the C-level employees were back then.

"It's not good to start!"

Colin opened his mouth and was about to leave when he suddenly felt that the world full of weird whirlpools shook, followed by an extremely magnificent and powerful wave descending from somewhere in the dome.

The terror of this aura, just the feeling of it, makes several people feel extremely palpitating.

"Click."

There was some vague sound.

A picture appeared in Ke Lin's mind. Above the sky, a part of the "vortex" suddenly activated strangely, and then grew two hands, tearing a hole in himself, exposing the deep and dark starry sky

And in the deep darkness, blood-red light emerged, and a terrifying existence not much smaller than a celestial body was coming.

In the process of its arrival, many meteorites or other things approaching him came to life.

Then, send out weird praises and follow along.

"What the hell, what the hell, what the hell, aren't they the 'followers of the Red Moon' we agreed on?! How come it's the Red Moon?"

"Fuck you, come again? Fuck you again, fuck me!!!"

Two different frightened voices came from the two halves of Colin's head -

This thing comes in person, how the hell can it be defeated? !

However, just when the blood-red light was about to shine through the opening, a vague gray mist emerged, blocking the blood-red luster, and at this moment, deep in the gray fog, a pale and monotonous sound of a train flute came from afar.

ps: Please feel free to ask for a monthly pass at the end of the month!
