Campfire Shelter

"It seems that the idea of ​​​​clearing the level easily is not feasible."

Colin shook his head and let out a long sigh, knowing that there would be a lot of things coming next. After adjusting his mentality a little, he looked at this "Way Forward: Winnie":

"Your name is Winnie?"

"Yes."

‘Both of you are surfing the Internet under real names? ’

Colin was a little surprised in his heart.

It was the same with the previous Lanivia, and it's the same with this one. Is it so straightforward for people in the "branch" to register an ID?

Or does it mean that the real-name system is required to join this "branch"?

However, this is not a big deal. After confirming the name, Colin paused and asked directly without going around in circles:

"If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be looking for me too. So, what is your specific purpose of looking for me?"

Put aside this "night party", what kind of party.

His knowledge of the next site was almost the same as nothing.

Colin will not make easy choices about who to help before he learns enough information.

"In a little while, the train will arrive in our hometown. I ask you to stop this 'Eternal Night' and let the people who have been deceived by the 'Night Sect' for hundreds of years move forward again."

Wei Ni explained bit by bit, allowing Colin to gradually understand some of the situation.

The ninth station, no, to be precise, it should be the distance from the eighth station to the ninth station. There is a high probability that this train will no longer move forward.

The place where we will stop is the land where the people of the Wei Ni tribe have lived for generations.

They surround some of the stopped trains and survive in a harsh environment with a large number of aberrant creatures. Whenever some kind of periodic natural disaster occurs, they will return to the train, wait for time to pass, and then come out to eliminate anomalies and open up land. , farming, etc.

‘I didn’t expect that they stopped here on purpose? And it stopped for a long, long time, so that it became some kind of civilization.'

Colin touched his chin.

In fact, at this point, he just sighed, this is a special civilization.

But what Winnie said next made the heart beat faster.

"After every disaster, extraordinary power is needed to eliminate external anomalies. Therefore, all of us believe in the 'Dark Night' and gain the power to survive in the sacrifice of the 'Eternal Night'."

When she said this, Colin saw something dark moving abnormally in her pupils.

Colin's heart "thumped", and the flames on his body began to burn subconsciously.

As long as he feels something is wrong, he will immediately burn the "heretic" in front of him to ash.

However, this "Dark Night" follower seems to be normal at the moment, and there is no sudden attack.

‘Damn it, I thought it was just the ‘Night Faction’ from Lanivia who had a problem at first, but I didn’t expect that there is a problem with your relationship, no matter who you are, good or bad! ’

‘With the same belief in ‘dark night’, what’s the difference between you and the ‘night sect’? What is going on with this branch? ’

‘Why are all the people on the scene a bunch of heretics? It feels like this ‘branch’ should be destroyed. ’

Thoughts flashed in his mind, and Colin felt that the guy in front of him suddenly became dangerous.

And there's one more thing.

These guys who believe in the "dark night" are somewhat difficult to identify unless they actively expose themselves and without direct knowledge.

It wasn't until the other party took the initiative to talk about it that Colin realized some special powers in the other party.

Wei Ni, who was seriously injured, did not notice anything strange about Colin and continued to talk about the current situation:

"For hundreds of years, we have been surviving like this. Every time a periodic disaster comes, we start the ritual of 'Eternal Night' and select one-third of the population to perform the ritual until a very small part obtains 'Dark Night' The miracle of miracles repeats itself again, hoping that one day all aberrant creatures will be completely eradicated."

"Every time a part of the people performing the ritual disappears, but the exact number of disappearances will only be known after the end. Usually it starts with thousands to tens of thousands of people. The least one in history was only a few dozen people, and the most one was even Half of it is gone!”

"Then, most of the others will only feel that their energy has been drained for a short period of time and fall into a coma. Then, of the one-third of the total, only less than one percent will gain strength."

"But now that has been determined to be impossible, remaining there is nothing but death."

"'Eternal Night' is a trap. The devotees who are selected to disappear will not be reborn in the 'Night Kingdom' at all. Some things let us know that this ritual will continue a few more times, maybe next time or after the next time. , terror will come, and the remaining millions of our people will perish in the darkness."

“The only way to survive is to get rid of the ‘dark night’, get rid of this land, and sail towards the future.”

The total number of people in a ceremony is between 3 and 4 million. On average, how about 1,800 or even tens of thousands? It's a complete heresy, but is the church of "dark night" so easy to rebel? Seeing this, it seems like you are giving up your belief in gods.

After listening to her words, Colin probably had some predictions about what he might encounter next.

'The entire race relies on the shelter of train cars to avoid the end of the periodic disasters in that world. In other words, they want to stay and I want to drive away, so my purpose of starting the train is in conflict with their characteristics.'

And these people all seem to be believers in the "dark night".

this.

Colin subconsciously came up with some extreme ideas, but looking at the man in front of him in a reasonably good mental state, it seemed that it was a little too early to go extreme?

After thinking for a while, he said: "So...are you going to let us destroy this ceremony, then start the train, let all the people leave that land, go to the back, and get rid of the night on the way?"

Although it felt a bit off, Winnie nodded.

"Then allow me to ask some questions."

After Colin finished speaking, he said directly without waiting for the other party to speak: "First of all, by what means did you stop the train? And why did you stop it? Is it because there was no fuel?"

"I don't know where the ancestors came from and where they are going, but why don't they move forward? I remember reading from some documents that it seems to be because, starting from a certain day three hundred years ago, there was a very long period of time. For a long time, the road cannot move forward.”

"We are not allowed to stay in this world temporarily, but without knowing it, everyone has begun to believe in the 'dark night', and there is no way to leave."

"Only a very small number of people know the truth, establish the 'Way Forward', launch the 'Forward Movement', and work hard to regain humanity's own destiny."

Wei Ni couldn't help but show some helplessness on her face when she spoke.

Listening to her words, Colin couldn't express much empathy, and just asked silently: "How many of you are on the way forward?"

"Probably, more than 50,000 people"

Isn't this just a fraction of what it is? Colin opened his mouth: "Are all the remaining millions that you don't want to leave?"

"They were just deceived. If we can break the chains that bind the train, restart the train, and let everyone know that there is still a world outside and that it is not the final earth, everything can be saved."

"Hiss, what you said is so simple with your lips."

Colin couldn't help raising his hand and scratching his head, feeling that things were getting a little complicated.

Millions of people!

It would be fine if these were all complete heresies. The key point is that they really don’t seem to be concerned. Judging from the company’s rules and regulations, there is a possibility of saving them.

In other words, even if the so-called train chain is broken and it starts again.

Colin couldn't just ignore this group of people and drive away. In that case, not only might he suffer some unknown punishment, but he might not be able to live with it in his conscience.

The most important thing is that even if Colin wants to save them, they will not cooperate.

It is not easy to forcibly remove millions of people who are capable of armed resistance.

In addition, there is a certain execution time limit

I sorted it out one by one and thought of all the difficulties.

Colin's head grew bigger.

This whole mission shouldn't be taken on by a D-class employee!

Taking a deep breath to calm down, Colin said, "Let's not talk about how to stop the 'Eternal Night'. How can we break the shackles in your mouth and let it move again?"

The mission requirement is to add fuel to the ninth station, but this train seems to be stopped at the eighth station.

In other words, before that, they had to get the train moving first.

"Only Queen Aikaxi knows this." Winnie glanced at Aikaxi whose body was in a state of disrepair.

During the conversation, many of his injuries had generally stabilized.

At first glance, it looked a bit oozing - her body was filled with all kinds of fine roots inside and out. These roots were constantly squirming and releasing various powers to repair and suture her wounds.

"You should be able to wake up in a while." "Huoshu" saw Colin's eyes and said quickly.

"Can."

Colin nodded, and then asked Winnie some details while sorting out what he had to do.

First of all, what is certain is that after he gets there, everyone he sees will most likely be an enemy, an enemy that cannot be killed at will.

Then, although it is not yet known what the restraints were that stopped the train.

But what Colin is sure of is this.

Once you start destroying that thing.

There will almost certainly be high-ranking beings who descend in a powerful manner - with millions of high-quality believers as the foundation, even if it is a god descending, its strength can be restored a lot.

Especially if this high position exists, there is a high probability that it is "Dark Night" that is not weaker than "Red Moon".

As for the "branch", there is no hope.

Because according to Wei Ni, most of the people inside were rebels, and they were infiltrated like a honeycomb.

In the past, Colin went to other worlds to perform certain rescue missions, and at least he could get support from the rescued side. But this time, his identity is closer to a "villain", and most of the people being rescued will regard him as an intruder.

The time is right, the place is right, and no one takes advantage of it.

Just thinking about it, Colin didn't know how he could win.

"嘤"

At this time, Aikasi next to Winnie suddenly made a sound, and then his eyes moved under his eyelids, as if he was about to wake up.

"He was actually saved, it's a miracle."

The "Master of the Fish Pond" and the Orange Cat, who were as silent as primary school students in class, couldn't help but grumbled when they saw this.

How many hours has it been?

They rescued a person who in their eyes could be dragged away for cremation from death.

I have to say it is a miracle.

While the two were talking, Aikasi, who was almost exactly the same as Lavinia before, opened her eyes. She was subconsciously preparing to summon extraordinary power, and her eyes were filled with black squirming.

But soon, she noticed something unusual around her and became confused again.

"Where is this place? Am I dead? Well, what a warm flame."

"Is this the Kingdom of Night? Winnie, are you dead too?!"

Aikaxi first recalled his previous injuries. With their treatment technology, it was impossible to save him.

But compared to her own death, after seeing Winnie, she suddenly woke up - if the adjutant also died, then who would respond to the prophesied bonfire messenger?

"Don't worry, none of you are dead."

A voice came from the side, and Aikaxi turned around to look. His half-broken face was in a daze, but also became alert.

But the next second, he noticed the special and warm flame on the other person's body.

She immediately realized the identity of this person!

"You, are you the messenger of the 'Bonfire'?! I beg you to help us. For this, I am willing to pay any price."

"Stop."

Colin raised his hand to stop him. Not to mention the price this person would pay, he was more curious about what the other party's plan was.

It seems that according to Wei Ni, this believer in the "dark night" who wanted to get rid of the "dark night" once connected with a mysterious voice and found an independent carriage leaving the land over there. He also provided instructions on how to overcome the constraints of the vehicle and advised everyone to take action afterwards. There are certain plans and methods to follow.

Although there is no direct evidence, Colin estimated that the so-called "mysterious voice" is most likely the "Rabbit Lady".

And according to this lady's behavior.

Although the task she assigned was difficult, it was indeed possible to complete.

Colin first briefly talked about the conversation he had just had with Wei Ni, and then asked directly:

"Tell me first, how to make the train move, and do you have any plans for the follow-up matters for ordinary people?"

"Yes, but wait a minute, I need to think about it."

The damage to his brain and the uncontrollable wandering of his mind make it difficult for Aikasi to think about things.

I often just think of something, only to forget it in the blink of an eye.

After a while, Colin heard her say again:

"Roughly speaking, when the 'Eternal Night' ceremony begins, most of the clan members will participate. When the time comes, we will be on guard. We can take advantage of this period to destroy the restraint device that binds the train to death.

“Destruction of the device is more complicated and requires a certain amount of time and regularity.

"During this period, we need your help to buy time to face the counterattack of the 'Night Faction'

"As long as we can resist their counterattack before we destroy the chain, everything will be successful."

It sounded very simple. Colin pursed his lips and asked:

"So, what are you going to do with the majority of ordinary people? What if they don't want to get on the train if it starts moving?"

"No"

Aikaxi blinked, thought for a while and said: "I have a way to make them obedient, but I'm sorry, I only remember how to execute it, but I can't remember exactly what will happen."

After hesitating for a moment, she said uncertainly: "It seems like, calling someone over?"

Colin then asked:

"Summoning whom?"

Who has the power to make millions of people listen to the words of a stranger?
