Chapter 256 Miss Rabbit's Reply
"It's better to lie down at home..."
Colin sighed inwardly, but at this moment, a strange smell came into his nose. His face changed, and he quickly got up from the bed, walked to the living room window, and pushed it open.
Sure enough, there was a pile of bird droppings by the window...
"This damn pigeon!"
Colin took a deep breath. If he had known, he would not have fed it millet. After it became dependent on him, it came to his house every day, not only disturbing his sleep early in the morning, but also pooping every day.
However, at this moment, he noticed that there seemed to be a round object on the air conditioner by the window -
Pigeon eggs?
The pigeon egg was lying naked on the air conditioner. If it hadn't been blocked by two branches that came from nowhere, it would have fallen directly from the building.
"Oh, they will find a place to lay eggs."
Colin looked at the two perfunctorily prepared "bird nests" and casually picked up the pigeon eggs that still smelled fresh, and then a flame appeared in his palm.
After a while, a pigeon egg was roasted...
After opening the shell, the pigeon egg inside was crystal clear. Colin tried it and found it tasted okay, so he just threw it into his mouth as a token of the pigeon's gratitude.
As for the pigeon droppings on the window, we’ll clean them up later.
"It's time to upgrade the equipment."
Colin closed the window and returned to bed. He was about to take out his equipment to think about upgrading it, but suddenly he realized something and took out the parchment scroll to open the task...
There is an additional message above - "You have a new task 'Return Home' that you can accept. Do you want to accept it?"
"Is this...Ms. Rabbit's mission?"
Colin glanced through the tasks and after seeing one of them with a stamp, he took it with a sense of purpose.
Then, once received, the task is completed directly and the task settlement begins.
Then, Colin suddenly discovered that there were a few more things at the foot of the bed.
A heavy-looking black suitcase, and a round and smooth silver sphere pressing on the suitcase.
And when Colin saw them, two names appeared on his retina.
[Remnants of the Seventh Box Garden World (Backup)]
[Nano Intelligent Machinery Core]
"The things that were requested to be sent on the train were sent back?"
Thoughts flashed through his mind one after another. Colin moved his body, picked up the box weighing several hundred kilograms and took a look. It was exactly the same as when he delivered it.
If the information hadn't told him it was a backup, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell it was a backup.
"The fact that it has the same name as an item seems to indicate that Bonfire Company must have thoroughly researched it..."
Based on his understanding of the company, Colin roughly understood the significance of the name.
But he didn't expect that the company would return all the items so quickly.
At this moment, the "nano-intelligent machine core" as big as a basketball suddenly melted, and then formed the shape of a cat-eared maid, standing beside the bed.
"At night, no, after component detection and time calibration..."
"Good afternoon, Mr. Colin. You ordered me to protect the children on the train before, but later, I don't know how the train stopped running. I'm sorry that I couldn't complete your task." The cat-eared maid made of nano-intelligent machines stood aside and spoke respectfully.
Did it just shut down? From this point of view, there is no way to know where the trains behind it went.
But while thinking about it, Colin noticed that there seemed to be a letter on the black suitcase, and he didn't know what was in the letter.
He reached out and picked up the envelope, tearing it open along the lines, and felt a badge and a piece of letter paper from it.
"This is……"
Colin first glanced at the badge.
The emblem has eight corners and the pattern is a black circle with eight thorns distributed in the circle. Each thorn seems to symbolize something, and from the overall point of view, it is more appropriate to say that it is a crown rather than a circle.
Moreover, this style is somewhat familiar...
"Hmm? Isn't this what's on the armor of the 'Knight of Virtue' outside the church door?"
Colin quickly figured out where it came from.
But compared to that, it seems to have been restored and looks much more refined.
And at this moment, a line of lavender information appeared on the retina.
[Name: "Badge of the Humble Knight"]
【Quality: Excellent. 】
[Status: Perfect (97% completeness)]
【Energy level: D. 】
[Description: When you hold it and hold your breath, you will enter a "weakened sense of presence" state until you breathe again and then return to normal. It is best not to use it for more than 30 minutes each time, and the total usage time per day should not exceed five hours. ]
[Weakened sense of presence: In this state, the sense of presence of oneself and things related to oneself will be greatly reduced, making it difficult to be detected, but it can still be attacked. In addition, every time you actively attack, touch, or interact with others, there is a chance that you will be discovered. ]
[Note: When holding this item, you will be more inclined to attack from behind. If you use it continuously for more than five hours, it may seriously affect your judgment.]
[Note: Be careful when sneaking into another dimension...]
…
"Is this... an item made from the 'Knight of Virtue' outside the door?"
Colin was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized that it had been so long, he almost forgot about the equipment that Ms. Rabbit had promised him...
Now let’s look at the effect - no wonder that damn thing outside the door can be infinitely invisible. As an "undead"-like monster, doesn’t it need to breathe?
As long as they don't breathe, the other person can remain in that "diminished sense of presence" state.
"If it loses its sense of presence, it will be attacked. That's right. From this point of view, a large-scale attack would have been effective against it. The reason I didn't succeed was purely because the attack was not strong enough. If I had used a bomb with a large equivalent, it would have been a sure kill..."
Colin rubbed his forehead and looked at the information about the equipment again. He knew that this thing could almost make up for the shortcoming of his short arms when using his most powerful and fatal attack (bone spurs).
As for whether the effect of "weakened presence" is strong enough, he is not worried at all...
He believed that even if he took off his clothes and ran naked, no one would notice.
After all, not only him, but a large group of people in the company have a deep understanding of this. Even D-level employees, if they don’t have special means, won’t realize there are people outside at the first time, and they all suffer.
Colin himself almost flipped over this thing...
"But now, this ability is mine!"
Colin was in a good mood. He glanced at the corresponding negative effects. After five hours, it felt like there was almost nothing.
"The props I got from Miss Rabbit are still the best. There are almost no side effects. Unlike that 'Mr. Huang He', damn, there are a lot of side effects that can break people's defenses..."
Colin complained casually.
Then, after briefly understanding the equipment, he put it in his pocket and picked up the letter left by Miss Rabbit.
