Chapter 476 "Train in the Mist" Ninth Station
"Did this thing absorb all that flesh and blood?"
Colin narrowed his eyes and vaguely felt that compared to the second-level containment object, this black mountain range stretching for thousands of miles was the real source of the invisible oppression.
"A little further inside this mountain range, there is a rift valley. The real body of the 'Sleeper' is inside. However, it seems a bit dangerous to go up the mountain. Even level nine personnel will not easily step in..." Mr. Chang began to explain.
The polar climate is undoubtedly dangerous for most ordinary humans, and even low-level extraordinary people.
But for some high-level extraordinary people, it is not a big problem.
But it is obvious that the problem here is not just a matter of polar climate...
Just as he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned to see the other party take out a glass bead that glowed like an eyeball from his pocket.
Then, he wiped it on the clothes on his chest, pinched his eyeball and stuffed it into his left eye socket.
Bright orange-red flames began to emerge from his left eye...
" It's a bit . We need to make some preparations."
Colin blinked his left eyelid and moved his eyeballs a few times. After adapting, he wrapped himself and the people around him in flames and flew towards the target.
"There is indeed something wrong with this mountain range."
Colin's feeling became even stronger when he flew to the mountain.
And looking at the person next to him, he didn't seem to notice the problem with the mountains...
"There's no reason for an official above level eight to ignore this, but he doesn't seem to know. Hmm, is he worried that knowing too much might cause problems?"
Colin was thoughtful.
However, the movement of the mountains is not obvious now, so there is no need to pay too much attention.
“Huff, huff, huff~”
In the thick fog, strange, twisted humanoid figures floated over. They looked like rag bags, but they possessed three terrifying eyes that emitted a red glow...
Compared to the big one encountered before, these shapes were more numerous, but smaller, only two or three meters in length.
Mr. Chang originally wanted to remind this mysterious strong man to be careful. These large groups of things are very strange and sometimes may be more difficult to deal with than the big ones.
But before he could even speak, he discovered that the other party didn't even bother to look at him and continued forward. As for those strange things, once they got within a certain distance, they all exploded and turned into ashes...
The terrifying things that were difficult for them to deal with seemed like a joke to the other party.
" I feel like I'm even more terrifying than a Level Nine expert. When did the official world have such an expert..."
Mr. Chang was secretly shocked.
About half an hour later, under the guidance of the other party, Colin found the big crack in the mountain range.
The crack continues to go down, with no bottom to be seen.
The final guide to the mission is this place...
"That should be right."
Colin reached into his pocket and took out the "token".
At this moment, Mr. Chang on the side suddenly saw a huge figure appear in the air like a ghost, with horns like dead trees on its head and countless strange snowflakes surrounding it.
At this moment, it was waving a silver sickle, as if it was about to swing it down at the "Level 9 Personnel" beside it.
He was shocked and was about to remind her.
However, before he could utter a word, he suddenly saw a giant foot made of flames, emitting terrifying power, falling from the sky.
"Woo woo woo..." A large amount of ice mist emerged from the figure, as if it wanted to collide with it.
However, the next second it was ignited out of thin air and then stepped into the abyss.
"If the real person came, it might be a little troublesome. But a clone that is almost like a phantom is causing trouble here. It really looks down on me..."
Colin looked away, unconcerned.
Then, he stretched out his hand and casually threw down the "token", which was a replica of the severed hand.
An extremely violent gale blew out from below, as if trying to blow it away.
However, the severed hand burned in mid-air and continued to fall unaffected...
Soon after, in less than three minutes, Mr. Chang, who was standing next to Colin, suddenly saw the dark clouds in the sky dissipate, and the blizzard quickly weakened, disappearing in a few seconds...
The invisible sense of oppression that had been hanging over this place for who knows how many years suddenly disappeared.
"What...what on earth is that?"
Mr. Chang was stunned for a moment, somewhat incredulous.
If I remember correctly, it looked like a palm? But I'm not sure...
However, facing his doubts, Ke Lin answered irrelevantly: "Can you go back later?"
"Can……"
"That'll do."
Just as he finished speaking, Mr. Chang discovered that the other party threw a square crystal to him. He reached out to catch it, but found that the crystal directly merged into his body.
A surge of energy quickly fills the whole body, driving away hunger and fatigue.
Then, before he could ask what happened, he suddenly discovered that the other party had disappeared.
…
In the living room of the community, Colin returned home through the task mechanism.
"This mission, aside from running into some weird things along the way, actually doesn't seem to be dangerous at all..."
Colin sat on the sofa in the living room, a little surprised.
For an average D-rank employee, this incident wouldn't be difficult, but it wouldn't be particularly easy either. But for him, it was a piece of cake. It only took one trip, not a single challenge at all...
It's hard to believe that this is the task assigned to him by the company.
If everything goes like this, Colin feels that he can rest assured and not worry about not being able to complete it.
"It's only the first round, it's a bit early to be happy."
Colin grunted, picked up the parchment and looked at "Event 2".
This moment...
The task requirements seem to be similar to the previous round?
"You don't have to take the 'Mist Train' this time, but the requirement is that, in three hours, you must go to a certain area of the high seas, dive into the deep sea to find a ruin, activate a door in the ruins, and then throw the 'token' into it..."
"'Keep the Token'..."
"I have to keep a hand again."
Colin sat up straighter and looked more serious.
Two consecutive missions seemed to be about some kind of sealing, which didn't seem like a coincidence.
This conjecture was confirmed a day later.
When Colin threw the second severed hand into a mysterious gate in a deep-sea cave and returned, the third task appeared. This time, it was also to "keep a hand", seemingly to make some kind of seal...
Three times in a row...
"This time, it's definitely not a coincidence."
Colin felt that the company seemed to be making some kind of advance deployment.
In the past, the Ten Rings events for other D-level employees were all ordinary random tasks that were slightly more difficult than the daily tasks. They were of various types and would not be like the current one, where they were required to "hold back" three times in a row.
"Let's not talk about the company, or the fact that 'Ms. Rabbit ' copied a few severed hands..."
"The third round of this mission seems to be getting more difficult."
Colin put the "token" in his hand aside, picked up the parchment, and looked at the requirements on it.
[Event 3: Take the "Mist Train" and when it stops at the ninth station, tear open this "Envelope 1" to enter the special train car and place the "token" in the fuel compartment of that car...]
【Description: Please follow the rules of the fifth car and beyond as much as possible.】
