Chapter 479: The Man Who Destroyed the World in the Prophecy, "Colin"
"Night-chasing Eagle Lanivia".
Above the head of this third employee, there is a string of words.
Colin immediately realized that this employee was not a serious person——
First of all, the name seems out of place.
It doesn't seem like a name a serious Earth company employee would choose...
Secondly, Colin could feel that this person was very strong. Although he couldn't see the details because of some kind of shielding, he just had a feeling that he might be stronger than the "Lord of the Fish Pond" and the Orange Cat combined.
I even boldly speculate that he is stronger than some official level nine personnel...
If this is true, Colin cannot be unaware of it.
He probably knew something about the strongest group of D-level people in the company from Cornetto.
There is definitely no such person in front of me.
"Who is this?"
Colin looked towards the orange cat and asked, then took a look at the third person's appearance. A female figure could be vaguely seen under the complicated black robe, and her pale hands were holding a black sickle.
His face was hidden under his coat, as if covered by a layer of shadow, and his features could not be seen clearly.
However, on her back, she was carrying a brown-haired woman who seemed injured and unconscious.
There is no ID display on the head.
Well, he shouldn’t be a company employee.
At this moment, after noticing Colin's gaze, Laniweya became obviously alert.
The movement was slight, but it could not escape the observation of the campfire.
"The person I just met at the site..." The "Master of the Fish Pond" spoke and briefly explained the situation.
At that time, according to the task requirements, he first took the train, got off at the second station, met up with other employees, and waited for an hour for another train...
During this period, the three of them naturally formed a group, oh no, four people.
Lanivia, who was wearing a black robe with mysterious patterns, was accompanied by a subordinate who was not sure whether he was a servant or something else.
However, at that time, this subordinate was accidentally attacked by the curse of the scarecrow in the tall grass station.
Then he almost died on the spot.
Hearing his words, Kelin nodded and pointed to the seat next to him: "The car is about to start, sit down first..."
"Yeah." The three of them came over without any hesitation.
However, Lanivia did not sit next to him. Instead, after observing for a while, she sat on the other side not far away.
After several people sat down, the train bell rang and started moving again.
"Can you tell me about your mission?"
Colin asked after the ringing stopped, and soon got the answer.
In theory, the way these people came was similar, they all arrived by taking other trains.
Then the requirement is to help him get to the back station.
"Is this mission so special? We didn't even work together from the beginning . Hmm, there seems to be some explanation..."
"I heard that the 'Fifteen Rings Mission' is a single-player mission. There must be some special features. So if you want assistance, you can only use some tricks to 'skirt the edge'."
"So, theoretically, I'm still on a 'single-person mission'?"
Colin's mind worked quickly, and he figured out the logic behind it based on his own understanding.
Even if all these people were killed now, he would most likely still have a mission record of 0 casualties.
As for the so-called assistance between the two...
It's nothing more than adding two antennas to the router. We can't expect them to be of any use in a battle where Colin needs to give his all.
At this moment, he could only sigh that the company's mission had been mastered by "Ms. Rabbit", and it was no exaggeration to say that she could manipulate it at will.
There is always a way to bypass some of the company's mechanisms and loopholes and make favorable arrangements.
Of course, it might not be so friendly to the people other than Colin.
After all, their task was to assist an employee in taking the train to four stops.
Under normal circumstances, sitting for a few stops is not a big problem.
But the problem now is that the four stations originally thought to be 1 to 4 are actually 6 to 9.
"Tsk... This is a fraud."
Listening to their words, Colin's expression suddenly became interesting.
If these two knew the situation, they would probably cry on the spot...
However, now that they were already here, there was no way to regret refusing. Colin thought about it and decided not to be under pressure and not tell them too much of the truth behind the scenes.
Anyway, my reputation in related areas is a bit "bad" now.
Moreover, compared to such trivial matters, the most important thing at the moment is what the situation is with this "third person".
Colin looked at Lanivia and asked, "What's your situation? Are you the same as them?"
During the conversation between the few people, he could be sure that this person was indeed the "third person", and he also figured out why he always felt that something was wrong with the other party.
Because the other person is very similar to Shana, although they are both employees of the company, the feeling is different.
"If nothing unexpected happens... this person is probably from another 'branch', and a different branch from the one Shana is from."
Colin had a rough idea of what was going on.
Hearing Colin's direct question, Lanivia was silent for a few seconds, then spoke: "I, I am here to help you reach the world behind. Help you reach the final stop, push the stagnant world forward, and break the unrealistic fantasies of those stubborn elements..."
"What? What are you talking about? The final station? Pushing the world forward? Why does it seem so irrelevant?" Colin raised his eyebrows.
This... he just went to the ninth station, refueled the train car and went home. How can this push the world forward and break the unrealistic fantasies of some stubborn people?
It feels like something is not right.
Colin raised his right hand and placed it on his chin. The situation seemed to be much more complicated than what was stated in the mission.
At the same time, the two employees, "Owner of the Fish Pond" and "It's All Orange Cat's Fault", looked at each other and realized that things were not simple.
Seeing this atmosphere, Laniweya silently tightened her grip on the sickle in her hand.
"Come to think of it, how did she know about the world-shaking events later on? Could it be that she knew what would happen after Station 89?"
Colin quickly analyzed the information in the other party's words and soon noticed a lot of details.
If this is the case, he can further confirm that this is a "branch" staff member.
Because no one in the company on Earth can sit that far away...
Combined with the other party's strength and uniqueness, it is almost certain that the other party's origin can be confirmed.
"But... even if it comes from behind, it's okay. Why are you so nervous?"
When Colin observed the other person through the flames, he noticed that after saying those words, although this person did not show it on the surface, some subtle body movements vaguely revealed vigilance and even hostility?
Not really?
After thinking for a while, he was about to ask about the situation and clear up any possible misunderstandings, but he heard a painful groan from the side.
In the seat next to him, the subordinate who had just been carried up seemed to have regained consciousness due to the pain. His face was distorted and many pale lines appeared on his body. His entire body seemed to be undergoing a transformation...
"Is this going to turn into a monster like that in the tall grass?"
Seeing this scene, Colin was thoughtful.
On the other side, a hint of helplessness flashed across the eyes of "Laniwea" under her hood.
It seems that his subordinate still couldn't withstand the curse.
Then, she took out a dagger made of black gemstone and said, "Winnie, sleep peacefully. As a human, your soul will be reborn in the eternal night."
"Ah?" Colin was stunned. He was going to kill him?
"Wait, we can still rescue it."
He waved his hand to stop "Laniwea"'s movements.
As he spoke, Colin looked at the injured person's increasingly pale skin and said, "If you don't mind, I'll save her?"
Lanivia was silent for a few seconds. When she heard her subordinate Winnie groaning in pain again, she spoke, "Can you do this?"
"Well, it might cost a price..."
Colin touched his chin, the flames around him spinning, trying to see if there was any chance of getting something.
But what he didn't expect was...
Hearing this , Laniweya shook her head: "A reasonable price? Winnie will understand us..."
"Ah?" Colin was stunned.
Then, along with the two employees next to him, they saw the other party raise his hand again, ready to take his life.
"No, no, no, I can save him. I'll pay the price. It's not a big deal."
Colin stopped him again, and at the same time couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Why are the values of the people in this branch so different from those of the Saint?
If Shana were here, he might be able to trick her into giving him temporary use of the relic.
But when this "Nighthawk Ranivea" heard that he had to pay, he directly chose euthanasia...
"After all, it's a life. If I didn't see it, it would be fine. But if I did, I couldn't help but save it as long as there was a chance."
Colin said casually, stood up, put his hand on the unconscious woman's forehead, and the billowing flames followed his fingers and penetrated into her body.
The strange curse within him was like the bacteria that first encountered penicillin in the 20th century, being beaten back step by step throughout the entire process...
After a while, the ferocious expression on the other person's face relaxed.
"The Fire Bearer's power is truly powerful in suppressing all kinds of abnormal pollution..."
Colin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
On the other side of him, Lanivia saw this scene, and a hint of inexplicable emotion flashed in her eyes under the hood.
"Is anyone's life worth saving..." Laniweya felt a little confused, but she didn't know what she was thinking about, and she became firm and cold again.
Then...
A strong sense of crisis flashed through Colin's heart, and then, instinctively, he raised his right hand and grabbed it with his backhand, pinching the sharp tip of the sickle with his index finger, middle finger and thumb.
Filled with the cold, numb breath of death, madness spread from the sickle, trying to penetrate into his body.
Colin raised his head and looked at the woman in the black robe: "Do you know what you are doing?"
As he spoke, he was confused, not knowing why the other party suddenly exploded!
No response...
"Lanivia" leaped back while grabbing the sickle. The black robe on her body seemed to come alive and turned into a lively black shadow, completely wrapping and covering her. A large amount of shadows spread from the soles of her feet to all directions.
At this moment, a shadow that seemed to have been planned for a long time covered the entire carriage, plunging everything into darkness.
“Boom!”
Flames suddenly erupted from Colin's body.
He reacted very quickly, and the deep and rich darkness and the scorching flames collided silently at this moment.
“Hoohoo!”
The orange cat and the other person on the side were a step slower. If it were normal times, they might have been swallowed up by the opponent's darkness in just a moment and fell into an extremely passive situation.
But fortunately, Colin withstood the first wave of outbreak.
Mysterious patterns spread across the orange cat's body, and the raging wind around it turned into sharp blades, blowing towards the enemy to attack.
"Shit, are you crazy?"
The owner of the fish pond cursed loudly, and a pair of mechanical wings behind him spread out, shooting a large number of laser beams in all directions.
Although they both had always felt that there was something wrong with this colleague, they did not expect that she would suddenly attack this time.
However, Laniweya also did not respond to his words.
In the thick darkness, dark arms stretched out from all directions and grabbed at them.
"Outlander, since you saved Winnie's life, I'll give you a chance. Leave here and give up moving forward. Otherwise, I will regard your actions as an invasion and a destruction of our clan's great decision and destiny."
"Then I will kill you right here!"
In the darkness, the cold voice of "Laniweya" echoed, but her figure was nowhere to be seen.
"I knew this trip was definitely not as simple as refueling the train."
Colin sighed secretly, then said without changing his expression: "I'm sorry to deny your request."
As he finished speaking, a picture emerged in his mind: dozens of shadow hounds emitting red light stretched their heads out from the darkness, biting him all over, tearing him limb from limb...
"A little trick."
Colin uttered a "huh" and skillfully pinched a gold card in his left hand.
"Force. Repulsion!"
In an instant, a terrifying thrust erupted with unstoppable force, smashing the shadow .
Moreover, the entire dark realm was torn apart, as if it was about to be stretched apart.
"It didn't expand all at once. There's something about this 'field'..." Colin was surprised, but his hands kept moving and he pulled out a revolver.
In an instant, the power of the "Fire Bearer" was further unleashed.
The darkness in the carriage quickly faded...
"What?"
"Lanivia's" pupils froze slightly. She had seen people who cracked the dark realm before, but this was the first time she had seen one so quickly!
What on earth is going on with this flame?
However, while she was shocked, she did not stop her movements and waved the "Death Blade", trying to give the flame the concept of "death".
Kill here the alien who brought the world-destroying disaster predicted in the prophecy.
Even though the other party had just shown touching kindness, everything was just a disguise of these demons!
For the fate of my hometown and my people!
Don't let it go any further!
However, at this moment, she suddenly discovered that the other person had disappeared...
Just as he was stunned, he felt an extremely severe pain in his lower back. Something sharp pierced into his body, and indescribable filth was continuously injected into it.
"I found you."
Colin exerted force with his hands, driving the bone spur completely into the opponent's body. At the same time, the flames on his body rolled and turned into several tongues of fire, and he was about to restrain and capture the opponent.
But at this moment, he saw that in the darkness, the opponent's sickle hooked back.
"Raniweya" decisively cut off her own head.
