Chapter 434: Conservatives believe that the extremists are still too conservative...
"It is something that is known but cannot be understood..."
"There's still no definitive conclusion on what it is and when it will arrive..."
"I don't know much about this, because there are only a very small number of people who can observe it and make preparations around it, and I am not one of them..."
The "King of Mad Sound" looked like he knew something, but not much.
"Something that even a first-level containment object doesn't know? Although it is a lower-middle-level first-level containment object, it is still an existence comparable to that of an ancient god."
Colin frowned, feeling a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, he seemed to realize that he was not very satisfied with this answer.
The King of Mad Sound added:
"The company should know more. If you want to know more, I suggest you ask some B-level or higher Bonfire executives after you go out. With your current C-level status and participation in the talent program... you should be able to get the answer."
Ah, this...
Colin's expression remained unchanged, but he felt strange in his heart: the other party saw his identity as a reserve "Fire Bearer", but did not realize his true level of authority at the moment?
After thinking about it, he still did not tell the other party his true identity.
After all, given the character this thing currently expresses, it's possible that someone might have other thoughts after it's finished speaking.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has already obtained all the useful information.
"It seems that the 2044 thing is not particularly secret in the company. Once you reach a certain level, you can understand it."
"However, the way to understand it is from Class B..."
"The only thing we need to worry about is that it's hard to say whether there are any real B-level executives in the company right now."
Colin rubbed his chin and thought for a few seconds.
"Ms. Rabbit" He always thought that the level should be enough.
that is……
Although there was no direct and conclusive evidence, Colin always felt that her identity was somewhat sensitive.
Shaking his head secretly, Colin retracted his thoughts and looked at the other party: "Is this all the information you know about this thing?"
"Yes……"
Unfortunately, this information was useless... Colin asked the next question: "Do you know anything about Rosen?"
"Huh?" Upon hearing this question, the vibration frequency of the "King of Mad Sound" changed, and it seemed to have a dazed expression, as if saying... You are asking me, a person from the company?
"For some reason, I don't know much about him, so I need to learn from you."
Colin said casually.
Have you been promoted from another place but haven't acquired much knowledge yet?
The Lord of Mad Sound thought about it. After being arrested, he didn't know much about the outside world, so he didn't know what the current state of the company was. He could only feel that something was wrong, but no matter what, a lean camel is bigger than a horse...
It’s not clear at all. Now these people can’t even send out a “Fire Bearer”.
Then without thinking too much, he just told Colin what he knew and told him the information about Rosen.
This is one of the high-ranking members of the "Fire Bearers" who once frightened countless lives and heretical civilizations.
Its exact rank, "King of Mad Sound," is unknown , but it's presumed to be at least B+. It's possible that it can occasionally reach A rank, depending on the need. It doesn't seem to be a permanent position, though...
But even so, Rosen is one of the few people in the company whose status is second only to the three giants. He is extremely powerful and has the terrifying "First Fire Army" in his hands...
At the same time, he is also the first front-line executor of a corporate giant whose identity is uncertain.
"Hiss... A B+ rank 'Fire Bearer'."
Colin was slightly shocked, thinking back to the ordinary dead head in the chapel - why did it feel a little different?
Look at how domineering the remains of other "fire bearers" are before they die, and then look at this one, the difference is quite big...
"No, the key to the Fire Bearer should still be the heart. The skull may not be that important. In other words, this guy who likes to 'hold back' can still be quite powerful even if he loses an 'unimportant part'."
Colin was secretly shocked. He even suspected that the other person's head might also be a "backup".
After all, judging from their habit of "keeping something in hand", they may have a lot of backup materials for their bodies in their pockets.
If your head falls off accidentally, you can replace it with a new one and keep the old one as material...
As long as your heart is okay.
However, by interpreting the information, he had a vague understanding of the company's senior management structure.
"Non-resident A-level, this level, is there a difference between regular and non-regular? So from this point of view, the three giants standing at the top of the company are the permanent A-level employees, or even higher S-level?"
"But it seems that the company's ratings, item evaluations, and various other things all use A as the highest standard. There is no such thing as S, SS, SSS, SSSR, etc."
"So, Grade A is probably the highest grade within the company."
Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Colin guessed that the so-called Big Three should be the permanent A-level ones.
Of course, the "King of Mad Sound" does not have a very accurate understanding of the absolute high-level levels.
Even if this kind of information about the upper echelons of authority was not kept secret, it was not something that a captive like him, who was about to be instilled with humanity and forcibly transformed, could know.
Then Colin asked for other people's names, but unfortunately, most of the names that the "King of Mad Sound" read out were names he didn't know or understand, and the "Ms. Rabbit" that he was most curious about was not among them.
Shaking his head, Colin asked about another thing he was interested in:
"The First Fire Army?"
This was the second army group name he heard.
"Hmm... a group army organized by a group of Fire Keepers. While not a large-scale legion, it's certainly quite prestigious. It brings together a large number of Fire Keepers from the entire company, exceeding three digits in number, as well as many of the company's elite."
The number exceeds three digits. One hundred is also three digits, six hundred or seven hundred is also three digits, and a large number should be at least one-third or one-half...
So, theoretically, there are at least two or three hundred "fire holders", and at most thousands?
If there are only 300, wouldn’t that be too few?
No... it seems like there are quite a few of them. Each of them, taken individually, is the one who makes the people in an area feel extremely overwhelmed.
At this moment, Colin, who was in deep thought, suddenly heard the "King of Mad Sound" cautiously say:
"I see that you haven't joined the army yet? If you don't mind, I can give you some advice on the selection of the army."
Colin asked curiously, "What suggestions?"
"If you're going to join...my suggestion is, don't add this."
"Hmm?" Colin snorted in confusion.
"It's a bit too dangerous. The people in this legion are all very scary 'conservatives'. They are very ruthless in doing things. This also means that they have the most enemies. Although they are very strong, they usually go directly to the most dangerous areas and face the higher-ups. They are also the legion that is targeted the most, no doubt about it..."
You are wrong, aren't you? Doing things very decisively is used for "conservatives"?
No, Colin looked at the fear shown on the body of the "King of Madness" and was a little suspicious...
This "conservative" may not be a conservative in the general sense.
In addition, it is understood that Rosen seemed to have issued the "extermination order" more than once during this mission.
"Ah, this... is the kind of conservative who thinks the radicals are too conservative..."
Colin couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Of course, from an inhuman perspective, Rosen's behavior might be a little extreme, but from a human perspective, it's another matter...
Before humanity's initial rise, it suffered a great deal and came close to genocide many times.
Is it a problem if I act a little bit tough?
However, in the face of the other party's suggestion, Colin waved his hand and interrupted his subsequent words: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
“No, no…”
"Okay, it's not your business to know which legion to join. Tell me the names of the other armies."
Colin didn't have any idea about whether to join the "First Fire" Army. After all, he didn't know much about it, and he didn't see anyone sending him an invitation letter or anything like that.
Soon after, he learned many other legion names from the "King of Mad Sound".
"First Fire", "Zoo", "Radiant Angel", "Shenzhou"...
Colin said in surprise: "Only four?"
"Not only that... but each galaxy region has a specific army group stationed there. I only know about the ones here, and the only two I've actually come into contact with are the Radiant Angels and the First Flame Army..."
At this point, the "King of Mad Sound" seemed to recall the past: "Back then, I was still active in this galaxy. Later, the 'Numbered Worlds' arrived. I fought against the 'Radiant Angels' army above, and then retreated without a clear winner..."
"Later, I, who was filled with sinful thoughts at the time, heard that a major incident had occurred at Bonfire Company. So, I descended upon World-334, intending to seize one of the powers that could be integrated with me."
When he said this, his whole body revealed an expression of horror, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Affected by his emotions, the area was shaking uncontrollably, as if a collapse or a major earthquake was about to happen at any time.
You fucking... Colin raised his eyebrows, snapped his fingers, and flames burst out.
The "King of Mad Sound" calmed down.
"What's going on?" Colin asked.
Then we learned that this guy and several of his kind had just broken through the defense of the "numbered world" and had just gotten the things, and before they could even warm them up, they met Rosen who had just started a recycling mission.
No, to be more precise, they encountered a powerful team led by Rosen, assisted by five "Fire Bearers".
Then, as expected, no more accidents happened.
When Colin heard this, he could only sigh silently that this guy had really bad luck.
At that time, it was taken into custody and thrown into the "Kingdom of Shelter" specially prepared by Rosen.
The conditions for release are...
After completing a series of transformations, he must recognize himself as a human being and voluntarily sign the first-level special recruiter contract given by Rosen in a fair and friendly atmosphere.
After asking around, Colin got the following general information:
The content of this contract first requires compulsory work without rest or sleep, with food and accommodation provided but no salary, for a duration of three thousand years.
In addition, there are also assessments every six months on learning human values, cognition, etc...
And if you commit a crime while working, you will be severely punished.
After signing the contract, you are bound by some "agreements" and there is no way to regret it.
Of course, if someone dies accidentally while working, their characteristics will be forcibly recycled, made into props, and they can continue to work.
After he is released from prison, oh no, after the completion of his sentence, there is a certain probability that some remaining steps will be taken to help him reshape his consciousness.
This method seems to be to intercept a part of the "consciousness" in advance and save it, and then make another one after the body is gone...
In theory, Colin felt it was like cloning, but much more complicated.
But if the death is too complete, and even that part of the "brain" is destroyed, then there is nothing that can be done - the company will thank it for voluntarily donating its extraordinary characteristics and adding a new item.
"The 800-year contract with 'Ocean Father' is far inferior to this. Is this the difference between a prisoner of war and a recruit?"
Colin was secretly shocked, but unfortunately, his spiritual intuition told him that he did not have the authority to act as a representative with his current D-level identity. Even if he had the authority to sign this with the other party, the risk would be great...
Otherwise you'll just get a super fighter.
Afterwards, Colin curiously learned some other miscellaneous knowledge for free.
For example, what are the judgment points for high-level containment?
"There is no subdivision for level 2 containment. The strong ones are very strong and can change the topography of ordinary planets. The weak ones are very weak and probably not much better than me."
"As for the first-level containment objects, according to the company's assessment, they generally refer to beings that, at the very least, have a certain degree of ability to inflict devastating damage to ordinary planets (using Earth as an example) and the civilizations on them. Specifically, they are classified into lower, lower-middle, middle, upper-middle, and upper..."
"Of course, this can only be done when no one can restrict it."
"Within each sub-category, the power gap is enormous. Among them, the upper-level first-level containments are significantly superior to the others. They are sometimes called super-level ones, representing the intermediate level between '0' and '1', but their number is very small."
"In addition to being powerful enough, '0'-level containment objects usually have certain rules. Even companies cannot evaluate these things very well. Some special forms of 0-level objects can easily survive under the influence of ordinary people or even children as long as they understand and are lucky enough to follow the rules. On the contrary, even B-level or even stronger 'fire bearers' may be in danger of death..."
"So, when dealing with this level, you usually need to follow the rules."
Colin had a clearer idea of these guys in his mind, and then he continued:
"By the way, do you know 'hunger'?"
Hearing this, the "King of Mad Sound" seemed to shudder. "Yes, it devoured me along with the entire 'World Number-334', and then was contained . This thing is a legend in the 'containment world'. I heard that its level was not high at first, but under the control of the company, it continued to merge and eventually became 'Level 0'."
Artificial "0" level creature? However, eating an entire world together is a bit powerful... Colin was shocked. He didn't expect this thing to be so terrible in the hands of the original owner Rosen.
"Can you sense it now?"
"I can't, and I don't dare. It will eat your 'premonition' and then come all the way here. You should be fine because you are under the implicit protection of the 'Bonfire Company'. Even if you take the initiative to contact it, you can cut it off in time. But for me, even if it is just a fragment, or even theoretically weaker than me, it can still devour me now."
The "King of Mad Sound" seemed to realize what the person in front of him was planning to do, so he hurried to explain.
But he paused for a moment and added, "Of course, if you are willing to release me and remove the control..."
