Campfire Shelter

On a heavy stone table in the center of the top of the high platform, a pale and delicate thing was conspicuously placed.

It seems to be a strange Holy Grail of Bones. The main material is made of twenty-four pale bones in a slightly twisted posture. The periphery of the Holy Grail of Bones is covered with a large number of black thorns that are pitch black and glowing with metallic luster.

At this moment, Colin's eyes focused on a series of numbers carved on the base of the Holy Grail.

"'6666666'.?"

Colin's brows jumped, looking at the serious Arabic numerals, he didn't understand the meaning for a while.

It feels like some code, maybe a containment number?

Not really sure.

Then, his eyes focused on the whole Holy Grail of Bones.

From the cracks in the slightly stretched and twisted ribs, you can see what seems to be squirming blood.

The blood mist that the internal aberrant body turns into after death seems to be gathered in it.

"What kind of prop is this? It looks a bit weird."

Colin grunted, and the flames on his body spread, covering all directions. After making sure that there was no trap, he walked over cautiously step by step.

There are one hundred and forty-four steps leading upward.

After walking, Colin came to the high platform and found that in addition to the Holy Grail of Bones, there was something on the left and right sides of the stone table.

On the right is a withered thing with a seed the size of a potato.

It is also surrounded by a ring of black thorns.

On the left is a stone slab entangled with thorns.

"The whole thing has a sense of mythology, but what are these things?"

Colin stood in front of the stone table and did not touch these things rashly.

The things above seemed to be motionless at all.

In fact, after a little perception, you can confirm that it is an item of extremely high status, probably made of some body materials with the strength of a first-level containment object.

Especially this "holy grail", it feels like human bones, but I'm not sure

However, it was at this time that the task of finding the signal source suddenly appeared completed.

Immediately afterwards, another new event jumped out.

[Event 3: Hand in the "Goblet of Thorns·World Manager Exclusive", "Ecological Simulation World Tree·Seed" and "Narrative Slate" from the "Lost World". 】

"Remarks": Please collect all the blood in the palace into the "Cup of Thorns·World Manager Exclusive" before confirming.

With the emergence of this task, various inspirations appeared in Colin's mind.

Then, he couldn't help but raise his hand to his chin and looked at the "cup of thorns" with a strange expression.

My previous intuition was indeed correct.

This is indeed the Holy Grail made by this "former employee of the company" from his own bones.

If nothing else, the ribs were used.

That is to say, when the eyes were fixed on the Holy Grail, a line of information similar to the description of the item appeared on the retina.

["The Cup of Thorns·Exclusive for World Managers": a symbolic thing for managers, carefully selected from the best materials, and sincerely invited to be made by the masters of the "Third Box Garden World".]

[Remarks: The cup is filled with active scarlet blood, which makes anyone who sees it unable to help but drink it all]

[Note 2: It seems that in order to ensure that the material is strong enough, in a certain area, there was news that a certain "Thorn Lady" who did not want to reveal her name and title had chest pain for a long time]

"'Ms. Thorn'? Is the prop maker actually a woman? So, the former employee is this woman? No, it's possible that it's just the former employee who holds this prop."

"However, the description of the item didn't say what it is used for, so I probably can't use it. It's just my habit of using bones as props."

Colin thought about it, and in terms of style and use of materials, he probably wasn't a "fire supporter".

In line with the habit of using bones as props, he a little doubted whether he was of the "light" group.

"No, there doesn't seem to be much to comment on. Damn, these company veterans have almost distorted my sense of aesthetics."

Colin gathered his thoughts and did not rush to solve other aberrations. Instead, he looked at the currently known information——

This "former company employee" seems to have a high status.

"World Manager."

This is the second time he has encountered a similar existence. The last one was the "Father of the Ocean" whose strength was at least above the average first-level containment. This time this one did not leave a name, but he felt that it should not be too different. .

If the two have anything in common, it is that

It seems like they are all dead?

There isn't much other valuable information.

The only thing worth thinking about is whether the "thorns" here are related to the "thorn device" that locks the train.

"I'm afraid we won't know until we see it."

Then, he looked to the side at the "World Tree Seed" that was about the size of a potato.

["Ecological Simulation World Tree": A seed distributed from the campfire camp. Provided with sufficient basic materials, it can gradually transform the climate, ecology, gravity and other factors of the deserted planet at the macro level within three years. Transform it into a livable planet suitable for human habitation. 】

[The following is the detailed description of "planet size standards", "material requirements" and other details]

"Can it turn the planet into a livable world if planted? It is a world tree in the true sense."

Colin clicked his tongue. He didn't expect there to be such a powerful thing in the company. He wanted to reach out and pick up the so-called "World Tree" seeds to see the details, but he was worried that there might be some dangerous arrangement, so he gave up.

However, judging from this, the "Bonfire Company" in its peak years still had quite a lot of black technology.

Then, he subconsciously opened it and looked at the detailed description. It was densely packed with all kinds of incomprehensible formulas and the like. Colin's eyes widened, and he suddenly calmed down, and then he closed it directly.

At present, it seems that he cannot use this thing.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the next one.

"Narrative Stone."

The note said that it recorded all the situations in this world, but on the stone tablet itself, Colin only saw a short line:

"We are not dead yet. On the day when night falls, we will return from suffering, witness the dawn, witness the future, and strive for all good things."

Apart from that, it seems like nothing else was seen.

"It is estimated that the company can interpret it only after it is handed in. However, does this mean that this 'former company employee' still has a chance to come back to life?"

"Wait, you said 'we', does that mean more than one person?"

Colin thought about it and felt that this might be talking about a certain group of people, or it might be people in the entire world.

If you think about it carefully, the whole world is not realistic.

What I should be talking about is the group of aberrations in the palace that cannot be burned to death.

As for more, I'm afraid we can only find out when "the night clears".

After satisfying his general curiosity, Colin did not waste any more time and was ready to complete this task.

It didn’t take much time to remove the aberrations.

Almost ten minutes later, the blood mist transformed by all the aberrations returned to the Holy Grail of Bones, and Colin immediately handed over the administrator's three-piece set on the table.

When it was confirmed, a transparent vortex slowly emerged and swept away the three items.

"The main thing of this mission is not just for these gadgets, right?"

Colin had his doubts.

The group of young believers who saved the "dark night" may just be incidental. Recycling the equipment left behind by the previous dynasty is the key.

"That's right, the recycled stuff is related to human tissue."

He felt like he was really about to become an organ dealer traveling across the world.

However, after completing this task, two small task events jumped out of my mind one after another.

[Event 4: During the "Eternal Night Ceremony", assist the actions of "Bonfire Company-49-Employee No. 4444444". 】

"Task Requirements": In the "Eternal Night Ceremony", create an area large enough to be radiated by the flames of the "Fire Holder". The flame intensity should remain above "3.5" throughout the process.

"Remarks": This event ends when the "Eternal Night" ritual is completely destroyed, the "Thorn Device" is completely dismantled, and most people return to the train and choose to leave.

[Event 5: Hunt a certain number of aberrations, and purify one hundred liters of blood through the power of "First Fire" to create a cluster of "bonfire coordinate points". 】

"Remarks": Six hours before the start of the "Eternal Night" ceremony, have two D-class personnel ignite the blood in advance.

"After the ceremony started, I went to assist the 'branch' employee number 4444444? Is this talking about Aikaxi? This number seems to be pretty good, not worse than my straight number, wait, this task requirement."

Colin's attention shifted from the name number to the requests.

This means that when the time comes, he only needs to create a big enough flame without having to fight?

this.

Is there such a good thing?

"If that's the case, it's equivalent to going up and lighting a lamp. How much effort will it take?"

"No, it seems that it cannot be said that my current normal peak is level 3. If the flame of level 3.5 continues to burn, and there is nothing else for three to five hours, it is not a big problem, but any more will be a bit difficult."

Colin stood on the high platform and thought about it. At this time, he could only hope that the incident would go smoothly.

Then, he looked at the second event of the mission.

The overall requirements are not difficult. The only word worth noting is "bonfire coordinate point".

With this thing out, it seems that the company is also going to send someone here.

"It's possible that it's a 'group army', a 'senior recruiter', other employees on Earth, or assisting in Aikasi's summons, etc. However, although I don't know who it is, one thing is certain."

"It's probably inevitable that the two D-class employees who came here will serve as signal towers."

Colin smiled, then closed the mission information, turned around, wrapped himself in flames, and left at an extremely fast speed along the way back.

This mission was considered a perfect infiltration. When we left, no witnesses showed up.

A few hours later, Colin flew back to Ms. Aikasi's station.

Orange Maomao and the "Lord of the Fish Pond", who had been a little uneasy, were relieved when they saw him reappearing. Brother Shunzi can drive a Gundam and run around in this damn place, but if it's just the two of them, the psychological pressure won't be that big. .

Fortunately, the person finally appeared again.

But then I noticed that behind Brother Shunzi, he seemed to be dragging a huge thing that was suspected of being a local aberration.

"It just so happens that I have something to talk to you two about."

Colin dragged the aberrant creature, which was about the size of a truck, all the way.

The two people who were approaching quickly were stunned. Among them, the orange cat came to his senses first: "Ah? What's the matter?"

"I'm going to collect the blood here. I need a hundred liters, but it doesn't seem like there's enough here."

As Colin spoke, he sprinkled some grease on the aberrant body and lit it on fire.

"Do you need our help?" Aikaxi, dressed in dark black, walked up and asked.

"No, I just need to make two trips."

Colin waved his hand and refused, but thinking of what happened in the ruins, he asked the queen again: "Is your employee ID number seven 4?"

"Employee ID number?" Aikasi's face showed natural confusion.

Then, Colin quickly learned that the other party only knew the company ID, but did not know the identity number.

As for the reason, it probably has something to do with not having a "personal resume".

“There are everything like maps, but such basic functions are not installed.”

Colin shook his head, but did not continue to ask.

Anyway, if nothing unexpected happens, combined with the previous information, Seven 4 must be this one.

The only thing she's not sure about is what kind of helper she's going to get.

He didn’t get too hung up on this. Almost half an hour later, Colin dragged a bunch of materials back to the camp. What he didn’t expect was that the aberrant creature that weighed at least ten tons before had been purified by one liter this time. Not even blood!

"Is it burned so cleanly?"

Colin looked at the small basin of blood held by the two men and couldn't help but be speechless.

Of course there is more than that amount of blood in the monster's body, but once it is purified by "fire", not much is left.

This task was more troublesome than he thought!

I originally thought that this simple task could be completed in about half an hour, but I was busy until the next day and only collected less than 60 to 70 liters!

"Fortunately, I have one day to prepare. Otherwise, in such a rush, I would have wanted to take off my left hand and use it as material."

Colin, who had been busy for most of the day, couldn't help but complain.

Then, he continued to turn around, left the station, and rushed into the aberration world to collect campfire materials.

Colin didn't even look at those small individuals and just skipped them.

The blood quality of low-level aberrations is extremely low. The blood purified by burning a hundred of them may be less than ten milliliters. Just looking at them feels like a waste of time.

Only aberrations with high strength are worthy of attracting his attention.

"Bang!"

Another hill-like aberration fell from the sky and hit an open space outside the station.

"hiss"

The eyes of the extraordinary people who used "Dark Night" jumped at the sight. The opponent was hunting aberrations this time. They did not have a team of more than 200 people, and they did not dare to even take a look at the advanced type.

But in the opponent's hands, it's like catching a chicken, being hunted and then thrown away.

The key is, it’s so terrifying, more than one has been killed!

"It seems like all the high-level aberrations around here have been killed, right?"

Beside Aikaxi, Wei Ni stared at the burning corpse of the aberrant body and said numbly.

The foreign aid this time is so lethal.
