Chapter 408 The terrifying golden out-of-control prop!
"It's weird. There's an abnormal smell in the air, as if there are monsters everywhere. But apart from the black fog, I don't see any living things, not even abnormal ones. Could it be that everything has already died?"
"It's still annoying that there's no clear target for investigation..."
Colin frowned slightly and moved forward while observing. Fortunately, as long as he went deep enough, he would be able to complete the investigation mission, so there was no need to rush.
Afterwards, every thousand meters or so in the corridor, there will be another "M"-shaped road fork.
Apart from this, nothing else was seen.
This place is like a very special large maze.
“Ding ding.”
Colin stomped his feet hard twice, with flames covering his body, trying to melt a path downwards.
Unfortunately, no one knows what material this metal is made of, and if you increase the force, it will only burn red.
Wanting to burn through is somewhat of a pipe dream.
But at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind.
It seemed like something was finally appearing.
"alert!"
Colin flicked his hand, and the ring on his ring finger immediately transformed into an exquisite revolver. He then looked over there with a vigilant look, not daring to be careless...
Just now, when they passed that road, they clearly didn't see anything.
Then suddenly there were footsteps...
It seems that something has appeared in an incomprehensible way!
Just as everyone was getting on guard, a group of bizarre-looking humanoid creatures wearing all kinds of leather rushed out from a turn in the road a thousand meters behind them.
Although it was the first time he saw them, Colin still recognized their nature from their unique energy aura.
"Demon-like creatures? There are quite a lot of them..."
Colin grunted.
However, the black fog here doesn't seem to have much to do with them...
In other words, this group of demons most likely received a "distress signal" and wanted to come here for revenge, but ended up being one of the victims who stepped on a landmine.
At this moment, their original target did not seem to be Colin and others, but to run to other places.
But after noticing them, their eyes lit up...
"Such a weak aura, is it a lone civilian employee?!"
"Great, kill them!"
"Replenish your blood food, then leave this damn place, and then commit suicide and return!"
"Hurry, or those things down there will catch up with us!"
A group of strange-looking demonic creatures had a brief exchange and then made a decision to attack Colin and the others.
A hideous and terrifying heretic demon was holding a long sword that emitted green light. It was very fast, galloping like a cheetah, and it could cover a distance of more than a thousand meters in just a few seconds...
It was at this moment that it saw that those guys seemed to have just reacted and hastily made defensive preparations.
This speed is totally different from the legion members we encountered before.
And this is indeed the level of non-combatants!
What's even more ridiculous is that the man in the middle was actually aiming a broken pistol from an unknown era at him.
The bullets fired by this weapon may not be as fast as it runs!
If it was a standard Gauss weapon, it might choose to retreat, but if it was just a small pistol...
"Too weak! Let me show you what speed equals power!"
The demon holding the lightsaber roared, and his speed doubled again, completely surpassing the speed of sound!
However, just as it was about to rush to the other party, the voices of other demons came to its mind.
"Damn it, be careful, there's something wrong with this guy, be careful with that gun!"
“Something’s…wrong?”
As soon as the demon holding the lightsaber had the thought, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Then, while moving at high speed, he suddenly discovered that the opponent had pulled the trigger, and a seemingly normal bullet flew out from the muzzle of the gun with flashing fire.
After the bullet was fired, it quickly expanded, with a layer of frightening flames attached to it, and shot towards me at a faster speed...
With a bang!
A ball of bloody meat paste exploded in front.
A lot of intestines fell to the ground like scattered spaghetti...
"You scared me, is that all?"
Colin pursed his lips. As soon as they met, he saw the other party coming towards him with great momentum. He thought he was a strong man, but it turned out that he was just a shot dead.
At the same time, a dozen demons were shocked.
"Damn it! That guy is too young. He doesn't know that this is a weapon with 'skin'. He can't beat him at all!"
"Go separately!"
Compared to the young demon, some old demons, when they saw the revolver in Colin's hand and the flames on his body, were so frightened that they didn't think much about it. They didn't even mourn for a moment and turned around and ran away.
"Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving."
Colin's body was burning with anger. He had finally found someone who could understand the situation here. How could he let him go so easily?
And luckily, there's only one of that type that can break the speed of sound.
Soon, Colin easily caught all the demons he could and locked them together. As for those that he couldn't catch, he made them into authentic tomato meat sauce dishes.
However, just as he was about to begin interrogation to obtain intelligence about this place, a mission prompt appeared.
"The next task has appeared already? I haven't even started asking yet..."
Colin muttered, not surprised at all. He recalled the specific contents of the mission in his mind while thinking about how to get information from these demonic creatures...
He was more curious about how these guys appeared in the first place and what they were running away from.
But, at this moment...
…
"Brother Shunzi, which way should we go? Or should we explore separately?" The "Son of Sexual Abuse" looked around and asked curiously, then rubbed his nose...
"Not separate."
Colin looked around and chose a direction at random.
After he came down, the task instructions disappeared, probably leaving him to do it on his own.
"It's just that there is an abnormal aura everywhere. It seems to be full of people, but there are no other living things except the black fog. Could it be that everything is dead?"
"It's weird, I always feel like something is wrong, very wrong..."
Colin and others observed as they moved forward, and soon discovered that this place was like a large maze.
Every one thousand meters, there is a "M"-shaped road fork.
The whole place is like a very special large maze.
Then, Colin looked at the ground, then looked away and into the distance.
This metal is too special. Even with the power of the campfire, he couldn't leave any traces. If he wanted to force his way through a path, the price he would pay would surely be high.
But just as he looked away, Colin was stunned -
He hasn't tried it, so how does he know that the power of the campfire can't be used to step on it?
Just don’t wait to think about it…
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.
"alert!"
Colin flicked his hand, and the ring on his ring finger changed, turning into a revolver.
At the same time, a group of extremely strange and seemingly unfamiliar demons rushed out...
"Such a weak aura, is it a lone civilian employee?!"
"Great, kill them!"
"Replenish your blood food, then leave this damn place, and then commit suicide and return!"
"Hurry, or those things down there will catch up with us!"
“…”
What's catching up?
While Colin was wondering, he saw a demon rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed. Without thinking, he shot it directly.
155 shells shot out from the muzzle...
There was almost no suspense. The demon was instantly blown into a meat paste by various powerful shells.
"Strange, I always feel like there's something strange about it..."
Colin was confused, but the other employees didn't seem to be abnormal.
Moreover, when the group of demons behind him saw their companions die, they ran away without hesitation. He didn't have time to think about it and chased after them directly.
After a while, all the demons were caught.
But Colin was not in a hurry to interrogate him. He always felt that something might happen at this point in time.
Suddenly, an inspiration struck him, he opened the taskbar, and immediately a new task appeared.
[Special event: After killing any demon and recovering it, you will be immediately blessed with the "Sealed Right Hand" effect to protect yourself...]
"Tip": Act as soon as possible.
"Just kill one? Then just say it earlier, you're wasting a few minutes of my time... Wait, when did an additional task appear..."
Colin was puzzled, but he did not hesitate and immediately prepared to do as he was asked.
He reached into the "storage room".
…
"Brother Shunzi, we..." "Son of Sexual Abuse" asked.
But before he could finish, Colin interrupted: "Don't disperse, go this way..."
"Uh." "Son of Sex and Abuse" was stunned. He hadn't finished speaking yet. How did Brother Shunzi know what he wanted to ask?
At the same time, Colin was also stunned for a moment, looking around, he felt very familiar.
But he didn't think much about it and quickly moved in the chosen direction...
Although several people felt that something was wrong with Brother Shunzi, they still followed him and acted quickly.
Soon , footsteps sounded from behind...
"alert!"
As Colin drew his gun, a thought subconsciously popped up in his mind: "Here we go again. Wait, why did I say 'again'?"
And at this moment, a group of demons that seemed to have been seen somewhere appeared.
The same familiar conversation came...
Another demon rushed out.
With a "bang".
The demon exploded in response, and the other demons fled.
Colin was about to chase after him, but suddenly remembered something and opened the task column.
"This mission..."
At this moment, Colin vaguely understood something. He did not chase the group of demons, but came to the pile of familiar "spaghetti bolognese", determined the task, and uploaded these things.
At the same time, he pulled out the orange card named "Sealed Right Hand" from his pocket.
"Isn't this thing usable only when the item is unlocked?"
With doubts, Colin injected a large amount of spirituality, and then he felt that he had become more familiar with "Time Stagnation".
If I keep stimulating it, my ability to use "Time Stagnation" might become a little stronger.
But it is not worthwhile to expend huge effort to maintain its effect just for a little proficiency.
Even Colin couldn't use it for too long...
"But why did the mission ask me to do this?"
Colin had an inexplicable feeling that he understood something.
However, before he could come up with anything, something strange happened.
"That group of demons...what's going on?" "Life mentor Keaiduo" looked forward in surprise.
The demons that had been fleeing in all directions retreated in a very funny way from all directions. The whole process was like a movie played in reverse...
They seemed to gather together at the intersection, and then retreated step by step to their original position.
However, the recovered "speed is power" disappeared forever.
Even if we could turn back time, we would not be able to make the company spit out what it had swallowed.
At the same time, watching this scene, some memories came to Colin's mind...
"Fuck! No wonder everything feels so familiar..."
Colin sensed the memories in his brain, and soon looked strange. These memories also included a backward process.
Then……
He saw the "Son of Sexual Abuse" spit twice in a row...
"hiss……"
Colin shook his head and threw the disgusting scene out of his mind. Seeing the "son of sexual abuse" who was completely unaware of everything, he hesitated for half a second and decided not to tell him about it for the time being...
Then, watching the demons retreat under the influence of an unknown force...
Colin realized which gold card was involved in this incident.
"Time · Backflow".
Apart from this card, Colin couldn't think of any other effect that could produce a similar effect.
Looking at the orange card in his hand, he couldn't help but shake his head...
"No wonder the company asked me to come here. I'm afraid that other than me, it's not suitable for anyone else to come here. At least the cost-effectiveness is not very high."
"However, the effect of a gold card is usually only a few dozen meters, but I didn't notice it nearby, tsk..."
“Is this card about to go out of control? Is it really appropriate for me to be responsible for recovering this golden item that has gone out of control…”
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Colin couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
And at this moment, he felt that the power that could reverse time in this place disappeared.
He immediately released the "Sealed Right Hand" effect, and a hint of fatigue appeared in his eyes...
This thing really consumes a lot of energy.
At the same time, a new subsidiary mission event appeared.
[Event 6: Due to unknown reasons, the location of "Time Reverse" cannot be locked at present. Please follow the instructions and enter the second floor below the mothership to recover as many remains of the heretic species as possible to obtain further intelligence.]
…
"Unable to sense it? This is similar to me. When I activated my right hand, I felt that this card was here. It seemed to be everywhere, and yet it seemed to be nowhere..."
Colin recalled his previous feelings, then shook his head and collected his thoughts.
At this time, "Life Mentor Keaiduo" saw that he had finished thinking and asked about the situation.
"It's somewhat related to what we're trying to recycle this time, but let's talk about it while we're at it..."
As Colin spoke, he looked in a certain direction, took a step, and explained the situation under the guidance of the task.
"Hiss, another gold card..." Several D-class personnel couldn't help but look at each other.
Brother Shunzi said that he was recycling it for the company, but they all felt that this card would most likely end up in Brother Shunzi's hands...
In this case, he might be the only person in the company who holds two golden props!
Without paying attention to what these people were thinking, Colin led the team forward seriously. During this period, he encountered several "time reversal" phenomena and encountered several waves of enemies that appeared out of nowhere...
There are demons, some other cultists, and weirdness.
But I will be prepared for this. Basically, I will kill him and recycle him when I meet him.
"It seems like they have been trapped in different time cycles. Maybe they will be triggered when I get close to them, and then appear out of thin air again. Is this why the signal warns that once you come in, you can't leave?"
"But, is this the true power of the gold card? It's simply terrifying..."
Colin was thoughtful.
After more than ten minutes, we saw a spiral staircase leading downwards.
