Chapter 039 Lost Contact
"yes."
Colin agreed decisively. After all, if he didn't hand it over, there would be no use for him to take the monster that had turned into black pus on the ground.
After making a decision.
A transparent vortex appeared in the air.
Under its suction force, every drop of liquid and debris that flowed out of the corpse on the ground was sucked into it and disappeared.
"One thousand points, plus an item with properties corresponding to this monster."
"Is this how all the props with special effects in Bonfire Company come from?"
"Contain and capture various anomalies, and then use their power to make props through special means?"
Colin stood there, looking at the remaining traces around him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He looked at the golden card in his hand, not knowing what it was made of.
Come to think of it, it must not be an easy role.
Shaking his head and gathering his scattered thoughts, Colin turned his gaze to the bone spur on the ground that played a significant role.
I didn't rush to pick it up. After all, this thing had just been soaked in pus, who knows if there was any virus?
Colin carefully picked up the "analysis lens" again, pinched the upper and lower sides of the lens with his right hand, brought it to the position of his left eye, and took a close-up of the bone spur.
[A bayonet dagger made from the remains of a dead female clergyman. If you are stabbed by it, you will experience the horror she experienced in her lifetime. The body will be continuously injected with filthy water, and eventually it will be like being dragged into the deep sea, and you will die from difficulty breathing.]
[If you hold it for too long, your body will gradually develop edema symptoms. After thirty minutes, if you are not careful, you will die from organ failure caused by systemic edema symptoms. ]
"It didn't mention pollution or anything like that, so it should be fine. I just don't know why the introduction seemed a lot more detailed than before."
Colin took back the "Analysis Lens" and guessed that the reason might be that he knew more about the world, so he knew more.
but……
Is the female clergyman mentioned above the one named Talissa?
Did she drown?
No...it doesn't seem like it would be a simple drowning.
Colin thought about it curiously, then took two steps forward, carefully picked up the things, and put them into the "storage room".
Then he looked back at the church behind him.
There is no movement inside.
"It looks like the resurrection reading hasn't ended yet."
Colin pursed his lips, then walked into the church and soon returned to it.
At this moment, the flames in the church did not change much, but all the bodies inside were turned to ashes. The ashes from nearly two hundred bodies looked like a small hill.
Outside the campfire, wisps of ashes gathered and dispersed from time to time, seeming to condense into the outline of a human figure.
Seeing the time, it seemed that he would not be able to be revived for a while, so Colin first closed the door, looked around to find a place to sit, took some food from his pocket, and silently digested the negative effect of the gold card, "time cognition disorder".
After using this ability twice in a row, the symptoms became more obvious. He felt that time seemed to speed up and slow down. It felt as if he had spent several days just walking the distance to the door. Or, in the blink of an eye , he had an inexplicable feeling that it was all a dream and time had passed by so quickly.
But looking at the time for Task Five…only two minutes had passed.
Fortunately, the symptoms are manageable with limited use, and the negative effects gradually disappear over time...
Twenty minutes later, there was some movement in the church. Colin, who was sitting next to the altar, turned his head and saw that the ash figure in front of the bonfire finally merged into Li Ming, who was standing in front of the huge bonfire with a confused look on his face and was at a loss.
He touched his neck with lingering fear, as if death was just happening a moment ago.
"It takes about half an hour to revive once?"
Colin calculated the time, then put the chocolate in his hand into his mouth, then stood up and looked at the other party: "How do you feel?"
Li Ming now looks like a man in his twenties or thirties, with brown hair, a medium to short build, dark skin, and probably less than 1.7 meters tall.
"It's okay, I just feel a bit of discomfort that I can't explain, but it doesn't affect my activities..." Li Ming twisted his neck.
"This should be the company's way of preventing you from being too immersed in this world and not being able to distinguish between reality and the other world after returning to reality. Anyway, it doesn't affect you and there's no need to worry about it. But this is just my guess. I don't know if it's true or not."
Colin gave a brief explanation, but to be honest, if you stay here for too long and then suddenly go back, this situation might really happen.
By then, Li Ming might be running on the street, shouting in despair: I can’t tell, I really can’t tell which is real…
Colin didn't dwell on it too much. He briefly introduced himself to the other party.
That’s when he discovered…
This guy didn't seem to recognize his identity as the Bonfire Agent, so he called him Captain.
"Captain, what should we do next?" Li Ming asked.
Colin didn't point it out, but just said: "You stay here and protect the bonfire. I should go find other colleagues. I think they may have encountered some trouble."
While speaking, he silently sensed the locations of the other two people in his heart. One of them sent a message intermittently, but he didn't know whether it was received or not. Anyway, there was no response.
Another one can’t be said to be intermittent, it has to be said to be intermittent, and it has been in a “lost connection” state almost from the beginning.
For some unknown reason, Colin couldn't even accurately determine the latter's location.
All he could be sure of was that they were both roughly in the same direction, but at different distances. He would probably have to find out the details after he got there.
"But speaking of it, does the quality of the signal have anything to do with distance?"
Colin pursed his lips. Why did he feel that Bonfire's technology was sometimes very impressive, and sometimes very lame...
Especially this "Advent Protocol". It may sound powerful, but it can cross an unknown distance of tens of thousands of light years and send people to a strange world.
It's amazing, but it seems like every time I give it to someone, it goes wrong...
"No problem, but Captain..."
After a pause, Li Ming asked, "Shouldn't we work together to find someone now?"
"No, they're not close. It would take me half a day to go there alone. It would probably take even longer if I bring you along."
Ke Lin rejected Li Ming's idea. After all, Li Ming was different from him. He couldn't travel long distances and maintain his condition without rest.
If I bring it with me
And most importantly, the "Book of Numerology" shows that everything will go smoothly and there is nothing to be afraid of.
It would be better to do everything efficiently.
After making the arrangements, Colin was ready to leave, but at this time, he saw Li Ming standing aside with an embarrassed look on his face, as if he had something to say.
Ke Lin said directly: "Just tell me if you have something to say."
"Captain, do you have anything to eat?"
"You didn't bring any food?"
Seeing him nod, Ke Lin frowned. Didn't they talk about the local situation at the previous meeting? How could they not bring food here?
But he didn't make things difficult for the other party. Colin took out a pack of Snickers from his pocket and asked, "What did you bring?"
After saying that, Colin fell silent when he saw the pile of stuff Li Ming took out from his ten-liter space.
