Chapter 376 I sit on the corpse of God
In the spacious hillside, there was an inexplicable strange silence...
The huge, chaotic and bloody battlefield not far away seemed to have no impact on here at all, as if everything was blocked by something.
As a result, this area seems inexplicably quiet and out of tune with other places.
"This person's aura seems to be somewhat similar to the one in the eighth carriage of the train..."
Colin's nose twitched slightly, and his eyes were fixed on the back of the person sitting on the seat. Although he was not very sure, he felt that there was some similarity between the two.
But the question is, if the person on the train was him, then why did he enter here?
The doubts in my mind rose and fell like dumplings in the steaming water...
But after thinking for a while without any results, Colin shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Then he withdrew his gaze and glanced at the group of powerful heretics, aliens and races who all lowered their heads as if in submission, facing the man's back.
So far, Colin could only see that their current state was directly related to the death of the C-level employee.
But I have no idea how the other party did it...
Because there were almost no signs of fighting at the scene.
"There is a certain possibility that a certain 'tool' he was carrying went out of control, just like the 'ghost witch'. Or there is a certain possibility that it was caused by the source of pollution. Finally, there is also a possibility that he is not dead?"
"No matter what, we have to be careful. The strength level of C-level employees cannot be simply described as perceptible compared to D-level employees. In terms of comprehensive strength, the gap between me and the dog downstairs is even greater..."
"But now that I'm here, I'm sure the recyclable item is with him. I can't back down at the last minute..."
Taking a deep breath, Colin filled his body with flames, spread his legs, and walked over carefully.
In this area, there are strange vortex-shaped crystals everywhere...
They radiated a faint and distorted light, constantly distorting their surroundings, but with the protection of the flames, Colin was not particularly worried that these things would corrode him.
He tiptoed through the wax-like crowd and approached the pink plastic seat at a pace slightly slower than usual.
As they got closer to the target and there was no danger in sight, Colin couldn't help but relax a little.
However , at this moment, something strange happened.
A faint groan came from the side...
In an instant, Colin's body stiffened slightly, flames surged on his body, and while preparing for battle, he looked in the direction of the voice.
I saw a follower of "Red Moon" emitting a strong red light. His face with his eyes closed suddenly became hideous and distorted, and then strange vortex pits grew on his body surface.
His body kept shaking and his eyeballs kept moving under his eyelids, as if he was eager to open his eyes and wake up from some predicament .
However……
A few seconds later, Colin saw that this man was swallowed by the whirlpools that appeared on his body.
He never woke up until his death, and not even a slag was left behind...
"Hiss... an individual with 'divinity' is gone just like that?"
Colin was secretly shocked. Before he came up, he was worried that this group of people would destroy his mission objectives, but now he realized that he was a little too worried...
The situation here is not necessarily better than the chaotic battlefield below.
It can even be said to be more weird.
Because until now, Colin still hasn't figured out what's going on with this group of people.
It was such a weird place, but the passive sense of crisis of "Fatal Insight" was not triggered at all...
"No, don't think too much about it. The answer is right in front of you. If you think too much about it halfway, you will only scare yourself."
Shaking his head, taking a deep breath, suppressing his inner fear, Colin silently strengthened his protection before continuing to move forward.
Two minutes later, he was somewhat relieved to find that, apart from seeing a few enemies who died suddenly and inexplicably, he had successfully arrived at the pink chair without any danger along the way.
The man sitting on the seat, like a thinker, lowered his head and overlooked the battlefield on the cliff in front.
Colin couldn't help but follow the other person's perspective and look at the war below the cliff.
Amid the blood and energy rising into the sky, the fight between all kinds of demons and monsters continued.
The three forces can be roughly seen at a glance. The employees of the Bonfire Company rely on various props and items to block the foot of the mountain and stop the coalition forces of various races. They are killing each other like crazy.
Under such intense fighting, even the company's employees suffered considerable casualties.
Just like the followers of "Red Moon", after the employees die, they will be reborn within a certain period of time near teleportation points such as "Son of Sexual Abuse", "Newbie No. 7" and "Formum".
Located on the mountainside, Colin could vaguely hear shouting and cursing coming from the chaos below.
"Fuck, which bastard threw out the uncontrolled anomaly? You almost killed me..."
"Fuck, you're a gay man, I'll see how you're going to take it back later..."
"Is it possible that they just left it here and didn't care about it at all, without any intention of recovering it? I highly suspect that these bastards came here just to throw the anomaly here..."
"All parties, please get some people and break out of the encirclement. I'm about to release a high-level out-of-control containment object. I can't hold it back any longer!"
"Fuck, this is harmful to people, quickly put this person into the barrel and blast him out..."
“…”
"It's quite lively. It looks like it can last for a while. But I can't tell what kind of punishment there will be after death..."
Colin moved his eyes and took another look at the "Red Moon" followers. Most of the strong men in this group were now standing on the mountainside, resulting in the battlefield below having quantity but no quality.
As a result, a very strange situation appeared on the battlefield...
Whether it was the Bonfire Company employees or the heretic coalition forces, they were all killing each other. Only the "Red Moon Followers" were being killed...
However, looking at those fearless followers of "Red Moon"...
Colin sensed a kind of inexplicable "activity" on the battlefield, which seemed to be getting stronger with the death of "Red Moon" followers. He always felt that they were playing a big game...
"call out!"
Suddenly, a sound of breaking air was heard.
Above the sky, a group of strange eyeballs with wings flew towards the place where the carriage lost control halfway up the mountain.
Colin narrowed his eyes, pulled out the bone spur, and prepared to take action.
But before they could really start, all the winged eyeballs seemed to touch some swirling light here, and 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 withdrew his gaze from the battlefield below, took a few steps forward, and came to a position about three meters in front of the pink seats of the food stall.
Then, he turned his gaze towards the man sitting on the edge of the cliff.
A very tough person.
This was the first feeling that came to Colin's mind when he saw the other person's face.
Unlike the expected mummies, the person in front of him was not too decayed. On the contrary, because of his thirst, his skin was tightly attached to the muscles that had not shrunk or decayed too much, making him look even tougher.
However, there are also many whirlpool-like and curled crystals on its body, emitting traces of distorted space.
"This muscle... doesn't look human. Has it been specially modified?"
As his thoughts turned, Colin glanced at a broken sword covered with crystals next to the other person's seat, and then moved his gaze to the other person's chest. Under the other person's faded and open brown coat, there was a gap in the ribs of his naked upper body.
From the gap, one can see something inside, emitting a burning red light...
A heart.
"It seems that the target of this recovery is this heart... In other words, this is the Fire Bearer?"
With the help of mission sensing, Colin was sure of one thing.
Then, he licked his lips and couldn't help muttering: Why are all the missions related to "Fire Bearer" about recycling various organs and stuff?
Others travel through various worlds, overcome all difficulties, and save the world like saviors, but he travels through various places just to recycle various body tissues.
This made Colin feel like an organ smuggler...
They are either recovering skulls or hands, and now they are also recovering hearts. We haven't seen many serious recovery missions.
"By the way, back at the beach, the female 'Fire Embraceer' who left the domineering message also left a heart behind, but at that time, the company didn't seem to have any intention of recovering it? Was it because that heart still had the mission of suppressing evil spirits..."
While Colin was thinking, he glanced at the man sitting in the seat again, silently said "I'm sorry" in his heart, maintained respect for the old senior on his face, walked forward carefully and stretched out his hand to the gap between the other's ribs on his chest.
When it came time to take action, he was well prepared. After taking out the heart, he was ready to deal with the situation where nearly 50 "divine" strongmen around him would wake up.
After all, him taking the heart would undoubtedly ruin the scene.
Without the power of the Fire Bearer to suppress them, everyone will most likely wake up...
Even the horrific pollution sources that are now barely noticeable will reappear.
However, at this moment, Colin's heart suddenly skipped a beat...
I felt my hand, which was halfway outstretched, being grabbed by something.
A gray hand!
Follow this hand back...
Colin saw that the man who was supposed to be dead on the chair actually moved!
In an instant, Colin's pupils shrank like needles. He wanted to retract his hand, but found that the other person's palm was like an iron clamp.
"Hasn't anyone told you not to disturb the rest of the dead?"
Indifferent words came out of the man's mouth.
Under Colin's horrified gaze, the C-level employee slowly raised his head. On his face that was half swallowed by the vortex, only one eye was left. His eyelids slowly opened, revealing a silent and rational dark eye.
Immediately, flames burst out from the frightened Colin's body and he rushed towards the man in front of him.
"thump."
The heart beats like a war drum.
A flame of even darker color also erupted from the man in front of him.
The two flames collided with each other along the touching hands, causing an extremely violent collision.
"Hiss, is this the real 'Fire Bearer' flame? It's so pure, if it weren't for the oil, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to stop it..."
Colin was shocked again.
Then, he reacted quickly and planned to use "Time Stagnation" and the bone spur to hit the old man.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt the other party's iron-like hand loosen.
Following...
The other person, along with the chair, appeared a few meters away in a flash.
Colin had a hunch that even if he used the time stop function, his reaction would probably not be as fast as the other party's, and he would not be able to stop him...
"Ah, is this some kind of 'Fatal Insight' that can predict the outcome? However, does this also mean that the equipment in my hand is still a threat to him?"
Colin's mind flashed, and he also prepared for battle.
However, the man with C-level authority sitting not far away did not rush to act. Instead, he stretched out his right hand, raised it to his face, and reached into the vortex that half swallowed the other half of his face, and pulled hard...
The face that was originally swallowed in it was pulled back by him.
Except for looking a little asymmetrical, he is no different from an ordinary person.
"How can it be like this?" Colin was stunned.
But at this moment, he saw that a ball of red flame burned in each of the man's eyes.
"A non-C-rank reserve who carries the Fire Bearer substance? Hmm, there's also the aura of a Level 0 seal, and some familiar but unnamed numerology threads. I've never met anyone as complicated as you..."
The man looked at him and spoke in a calm and indifferent tone.
"You see through me? But... why does this feel a little wrong?"
Colin frowned. He could sense deep madness and confusion from this guy. The intensity of his madness was even higher than that of all the D-class on the train combined.
But now, the other party is neither crazy nor confused, and behaves very rationally...
This feeling is very conflicting.
However, since it seems that communication is possible, why not try to resolve the crisis through dialogue?
Thinking of this, Colin asked, "What exactly happened here? What is the source of this pollution?"
"The source of the pollution? It's right 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 the entire mountain that was over a thousand meters high!
This isn't a fucking mountain, it's an abnormal entity!
Just when Colin's breathing was a little stagnant, the man in the seat in front of him looked down at the ground indifferently, then raised his eyes, looked at Colin, and said:
"It was the source of this incident. It attacked the transfer station and ambushed us. I should have discovered the problem earlier, but because the previous incident caused me serious damage, and because I was away from the incident, I was also a little lax...
"This led to a tragedy where we were dragged into areas not sheltered by the campfire and attacked...
“Although I used the power of the ‘First Fire’ to forcibly improve myself and suppress this incident, unfortunately, everyone, including me, can’t go back and can only wander in the dark side of the universe…
"Finally, under the arrangement of a certain high-ranking person...
"I sit on the corpse of the so-called 'God', waiting for this matter to end."
The man's tone was unusually cold, and there was no emotion at all, as if he was simply reporting what had happened.
"Someone?" Colin discovered the hidden message 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 a kind of "rationality" mixed with a sense of madness.
Hearing this, Colin nodded and wanted to ask other questions, such as who was the person on the train.
But the man spoke first: "Before you reach C-level, it is generally forbidden to come into contact with the power of the Fire Bearer and become a reserve. Because before that, you will not be able to hide yourself, and countless things will try to prevent you from succeeding...
"Even if I reach rank C, I may not be able to protect myself. In a sense, this attack is also related to my becoming a Fire Bearer...
"The Fire Bearers are one of the strongest forces in the face of disasters and the pillars of the human spirit, but no non-human being is willing to see more Fire Bearers appear...
"So, I don't know who arranged your situation and why you took such a big risk, but I can feel that person has a high level of authority...
"Also, the company I feel from you now gives me a very strange feeling..."
At this point, the man paused, and suddenly changed the subject:
"But these are all unimportant matters. Are you the one who is here to take care of the final ties for this incident?"
"Yes." Colin nodded.
"Although this is just a dream before it died, if you die in this part of the mountain range, you will also be in trouble. Finally, let me confirm again, are you the one who ends this incident?"
The cold voice spoke again, and when Colin nodded again, he closed his eyes and left the last words.
"Then you have to be careful. It is about to wake up after merging with me..."
"It's waking up? What does that mean?"
Colin opened his mouth to ask quickly, but at this time, he found that the other party had completely closed his eyes.
And, the next second, a distorted breath and dazzling light burst out from the other party, and the man who was originally extremely cold and rational showed an extremely painful look on his face, and the fire in his chest seemed to be covered by layers of crystals...
"Ah...ah...it hurts so much...someone...help me..."
"I'm sorry... I couldn't bring you back... safely..."
"Why is this night... so long..."
"How long...how long...will it take before I wake up..."
The whispers filled with self-blame, pain and confusion echoed in my ears over and over again...
At this moment, the man sitting in the food stall slowly stood up from his chair, his face dull and distorted, turning into a heart-pounding vortex of confusion.
In the vortex, many figures can be vaguely seen...
It was at this moment that Colin felt that this was the person he met on the train!
But before he could think about it, Colin realized that there seemed to be a gaze looking at him from the vortex on that face.
"Ah... who are you... who are you? I think we've met before?"
Amid the strange murmurs, Colin suddenly felt a terrifying sense of crisis.
