Campfire Shelter

In the spacious mountainside, there is some kind of strange and indescribable deathly silence.

The huge, chaotic and bloody battlefield not far away seemed to be unable to affect this place at all, as if everything was being blocked by something.

As a result, this area seemed inexplicably quiet and incompatible with other places.

"This person's aura seems a bit close to the one in the eighth car on the train."

Colin's nose twitched slightly, and he stared straight at the back of the figure on the seat. Although he was not sure, he felt that there was some similarity between the two.

But the question is, if the person on the train is him, why did he enter here?

The doubts in my mind are like dumplings rising and falling with hot water.

But after thinking for a while to no avail, Colin shook his head and stopped thinking. Then he withdrew his gaze and turned away from the group of powerful people. But at this moment, they all lowered their heads, as if surrendering, facing the man's back. .

So far, Colin can only see that their current status is directly related to the dead C-level employees.

But I have no idea how the other party did it.

Because there are almost no traces of battle visible at the scene.

"It's possible that some of the 'props' he's carrying are out of control, just like the 'Ghost Witch', or it's also possible that it's caused by the source of pollution. In the end, it's also possible that he's not completely dead? "

"No matter what, you have to be careful. Compared with D-class employees, the strength level of C-class employees cannot be simply described as perception. In terms of overall strength, the gap is wider than that between me and the dog downstairs."

"But now that I'm here, I've confirmed that the recyclables are on him, so I can't back down at the last step."

Taking a deep breath, Colin filled himself with flames, spread his legs, and walked over cautiously.

In this place, there are strange swirling crystals all over the place.

They radiate a weak and twisted luster, constantly twisting the surroundings, but with the protection of the flames, Colin is not particularly worried that these things will corrode him.

He walked slowly through the wax statue-like crowd and approached the pink plastic seat at a slightly slower walking speed than usual.

As he got closer to the goal and there was no crisis, Colin couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A faint muffled sound came from one side.

In an instant, Colin's body froze slightly, and fire surged from his body. While preparing for battle, his eyes followed the sound.

I saw a "Red Moon" follower whose body was emitting a rich red light. His face with his eyes closed suddenly became ferocious and twisted, and then strange whirlpools and pits appeared on his body.

His body kept shaking, and his eyes kept moving under his eyelids, as if he was eager to open his eyes and wake up from some kind of predicament.

However.

A few seconds later, Colin saw the man being swallowed up by the whirlpools that appeared on his body.

He was unable to wake up until he died, and not even a scum was left behind.

"An individual with a 'divine nature' is just gone?"

Colin was secretly shocked. Before he came up, he was worried that these people would destroy his mission goal, but now he realized that he was a little too worried.

The situation here is not necessarily any better than the chaotic battlefield below.

It can even be said to be even weirder.

Because till now, Colin still doesn't understand what is going on with this group of people.

Although it is such a weird place, the passive sense of crisis of "fatal insight" is not triggered at all.

"No, don't think too much. The answer is just ahead. If you think too much about it halfway, you will only scare yourself."

Shaking his head, taking a deep breath, suppressing the panic in his heart, Colin silently strengthened his body protection before moving forward.

Two minutes later, what made him somewhat relieved was that, apart from seeing a few enemies who died unexpectedly and suddenly along the way, it could be said that he had successfully reached the pink seat without any danger.

The man on the seat, like a thinker, lowered his head, overlooking the battlefield on the cliff in front.

Colin couldn't help but follow the other person's perspective and look at the war under the cliff.

In the sky-high blood energy, the chaos of various monsters and monsters continues.

The three parties' forces can be roughly seen with just two glances. The employees of the Bonfire Company relied on various props and items to block the foot of the mountain to block the coalition forces of various races. They were killing each other like crazy.

In this intense battle, even company employees suffered considerable deaths.

It's just that like the followers of "Red Moon", after the employees die, they will be reborn within a certain period of time near the "Son of Sexual Abuse", "Little Rookie No. 7", "Fol Mushroom" and other transmission points.

Located on the mountainside, Colin could vaguely hear shouts and curses coming from the chaos below.

"Fuck, what kind of dog threw out the uncontrolled anomaly? I was killed by you."

"Damn it, the sun never sets, GAI guy, let me see how you recycle it later."

"Is it possible that they just left it here and left it alone without any intention of recycling it? I highly doubt that these bastards came here just to throw the anomaly here."

"All parties, please bring some people and break out some distance from us. I'm going to release a high-level out-of-control containment object. I can't suppress it anymore!"

"Fuck, you're hurting people. Hurry and put this guy in the cannon and blast him out."

"."

"It's quite lively. It looks like it can last for a while, but I can't see any punishment after death."

Colin moved his eyes and took another look at the "Red Moon" followers. Most of the powerful people in this group were now standing on the mountainside, leaving the battlefield below empty of quantity and quality.

So much so that a very strange situation occurred on the battlefield.

Whether it was Bonfire Company employees or a group of heretical alien coalition forces, they were all killing indiscriminately. Only the "followers of the Red Moon" were being killed indiscriminately.

However, looking at those "Red Moon" followers who are not afraid of death.

Sensing some unexplainable "activity" on the battlefield that seems to be getting stronger and stronger as the followers of "Red Moon" die, Colin always feels that they are playing a big game of chess.

"call out!"

Suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air.

In the sky, a group of strange eyeballs with only wings were attacking towards the place where the car lost control halfway up the mountain.

Colin narrowed his eyes, pulled out the bone spur, and prepared to take action.

But before they could actually take action, all the winged eyeballs seemed to have touched some of the swirling light here, and then they melted one after another, fell into the sky, and were shattered into pieces by the battlefield below.

"I didn't expect it to be a no-fly zone."

Shaking his head, Colin didn't think much about it. He looked away from the battlefield below, and then took a few steps forward to a position about three meters in front of the pink seat side of the food stall.

Then, he looked at the man sitting on the edge of the cliff——

A very tough person.

This was the first feeling that arose in Colin's heart when he saw the other person's appearance.

Unlike the expected mummy, the person in front of him didn't rot too much. Instead, because his body was thirsty, his skin clinged to the muscles that hadn't shrunk and rotted too much, making it tougher.

However, there are also many whirlpools and flower scroll-like crystals on its body, exuding traces of distorted space.

"These muscles don't feel human. Have they been specially modified?"

While thinking about it, Colin glanced at a broken sword covered with spars next to the opponent's seat, and then moved his eyes to the opponent's chest. Under the opponent's faded and open brown coat, the ribs of his upper body were naked. A breach.

From the gap, you can see something inside, which is emitting a burning red light.

A heart.

"The target of this recovery seems to be this heart. In other words, is this the 'Fire Holder'?"

Relying on task induction, Colin made sure of one point.

Then, he licked his lips and couldn't help but mutter: Why are all the tasks related to the "Fire Bearer" about recycling various organs?

People travel through various worlds, overcome all difficulties, and save the world. Just like the savior, he travels all over the world just to recycle various body tissues.

This made Colin feel like an organ smuggler.

They were either recovering skulls, hands, and now hearts. It was a serious containment mission, but not many of them were seen.

"Speaking of which, when we were at the seaside, the female 'Fire Bearer' who left a domineering message also had a heart, but at that time, the company didn't seem to have the intention to take it back? Is it because of that heart, and the mission of suppressing evil spirits? "

After thinking about it, Ke Lin glanced at the man on the seat again, and said "offended" silently in his heart. He kept his respect for the old man on his face, and carefully stepped forward to reach out his hand to the gap between the ribs on the man's chest.

When he started, he was ready to take out the heart and face the situation when nearly 50 "divine" strong men around him woke up.

After all, him taking the heart would undoubtedly ruin the scene.

Without the power of the "Fire Bearers" to suppress it, everyone will most likely wake up.

Even the horrific sources of pollution that have a very low sense of existence today will appear again.

However, at this moment, Colin's heart suddenly thumped.

I felt that my hand that was halfway outstretched seemed to be grabbed by something——

A gray-skinned hand!

Follow this hand back

Colin saw that the man who was supposed to be dead on the seat actually moved!

In an instant, Colin's pupils shrank like needles, and he wanted to retract his hand, but found that the other party's palm was like an iron vice.

"Didn't anyone tell you not to disturb the rest of the deceased?"

Indifferent words came from the man's mouth.

Under Ke Lin's horrified gaze, the C-level employee slowly raised his head. On a face that was half-swallowed by a vortex, there was only one eye left, and the eyelid slowly opened, revealing a silent and rational black pupil .

Immediately, flames erupted from the frightened Ke Lin, and he rushed towards the man in front of him.

"Plop."

His heart beat like a war drum.

A deeper flame also erupted from the man in front of him.

The two clusters of flames rushed together along the touching hands, and an extremely violent collision occurred.

‘Hiss, is this the proper Flame Bearer flame? The purity is so high, if it weren’t for the oil, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be able to stop it at all’

Colin was shocked inside again.

Then, he reacted quickly, planning to use "Time Stasis" to give this old thing a shot with bone spurs.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt that the other party's hand like steel let go.

follow closely

The other party, including a man and a chair, appeared a few meters away like a flash.

Ke Lin had a hunch that even if he stopped using it, there was a high probability that his reaction would not be as fast as the opponent's, and he couldn't stop him.

"Ah, this is a method like 'fatal insight', predicting the end? However, does this also mean that the equipment in my hand is still a threat to him?"

Colin's thoughts flashed, and he also made preparations for fighting.

However, the man with C-level authority sitting not far away did not rush to take action. Instead, he stretched out his right hand first, raised it to his face, reached into the vortex that swallowed half of his face, and pulled hard.

The face that had been swallowed into it was pulled back by him.

Except that it looks a little symmetrical, it is no different from ordinary people.

"How can it still be like this?" Colin was stunned.

But at this moment, he saw a red flame burning in each of the man's eyes.

"A reserve who is not C-level, but carries the substance of the 'Fire Bearer'? Hmm, there is also the aura of a level 0 sealed object, and there are also the numerology threads of some familiar but unknown people. I have never seen anything like this. A complicated person like you."

The man looked at him and spoke in a calm and indifferent tone.

‘Did you see through me? However, why does this feel a little wrong? ’

Colin frowned. He could feel the deep madness and chaos from this guy. The intensity was even higher than that of all the D-class people on the train put together.

But now, the other party is neither crazy nor chaotic, and behaves very rationally.

This feeling is very conflicting.

However, since it seems that we can communicate, why not try to solve the crisis through dialogue?

Thinking of this, Colin said: "What exactly happened here? Where is the source of this pollution?"

"The source of pollution? It's under my feet." There was no emotion in the tone of the man with C-level authority.

"Underfoot?"

Colin was stunned, and then immediately realized that the other party was talking about this entire mountain that was over a thousand meters high!

This is not a fucking mountain, this is an abnormal body!

Just when Colin's breathing stopped, the man on the seat in front of him looked down at the ground indifferently, then raised his gaze, looked at Colin, and said:

"It is the source of this incident. It attacked the transfer station and ambushed us. I should have discovered the problem earlier. However, because the last incident caused serious damage to my body, and because of the escape incident, I also relaxed a little.

"This led to a tragedy where we were dragged into a non-bonfire area and attacked.

"Although with the power of the 'First Fire', I forcibly improved myself and suppressed this incident, but unfortunately, no one including me can go back and can only wander in the dark back of the universe.

"Finally, under the arrangement of a certain high-level person.

"I am sitting on the corpse of the so-called 'god', waiting for the end of this matter."

The man's tone was unusually cold, with no emotion at all, as if he was simply telling him what had happened.

"Someone?" Colin discovered the hidden information in the words.

"I know who it is, but I can't tell you, so there's no need to pursue it further." The man's words were filled with some kind of "reason" that had a sense of madness.

Hearing this, Colin nodded and wanted to ask other questions, such as who was that person on the train.

But the man spoke first: "Before you are not C-level, contact with the power of the 'Fire Bearer' and become a reserve. This kind of thing is generally prohibited, because before that, you have no ability to hide yourself, there will be countless Things will try to prevent you from succeeding.

"In fact, even if I reach C level, I may not be able to protect myself. In a sense, this attack has something to do with me becoming a 'fire bearer'.

"The 'Fire Holders' are one of the strongest forces for mankind to face disasters and are the pillars of the human spirit, but no inhuman thing is willing to see more 'Fire Holders' appear.

"So, I don't know who arranged your situation and why you took such a big risk, but I can feel that that person has high authority.

"Also, the company I feel from you now gives me a very strange feeling."

Speaking of this, the man paused, then suddenly changed the subject:

"But these are all indifferent things. Are you here to put the finishing touches on this incident?"

"Yes." Colin nodded.

"Although this is just a dream before it died, if you die in this location in the mountains, something will happen to you. Finally, let me confirm again, are you the end of this incident?"

The indifferent voice spoke again, and seeing Colin nodding again, he closed his eyes while saying the last sentence.

"Then you have to be careful, it that merged with 'I' is about to wake up."

"It's waking up? What do you mean?"

Colin asked quickly, but at this moment, he found that the other party had completely closed his eyes.

And, in the next second, a twisted aura and dazzling light burst out from the other party. The face of the originally extremely cold and rational man showed an expression of extreme pain, and the flames in his chest seemed to be crystallized layer by layer. cover.

"Ahhh. I'm so uncomfortable. Someone. Help me."

"I'm sorry I couldn't take you back smoothly."

"Why is this night so long"

"How long. How long will it take to wake up"

Words full of self-blame, pain and confusion rang in my ears over and over again.

The man in the stall seat also slowly stood up from his chair at this moment, his face dull and distorted, turning into a heart-stopping whirlpool of confusion.

In the vortex, many figures can be vaguely seen

At this moment, Colin felt that this was the person he met on the train!

But before he thought about it, Colin noticed that there seemed to be eyes looking at him in the whirlpool on that face.

"Ah, who are you? We seem to have seen each other before?"

Amid the weird murmurs, Colin suddenly felt a terrible sense of crisis coming over him. (end of this chapter)
