Chapter 491 "World Administrator"!
On a heavy stone table in the center of the top of the platform, a pale and exquisite object was prominently placed.
It seemed to be a strange bone chalice, the main body of which was made up of twenty-four pale bones in a slightly twisted posture, and the outer edge of the bone chalice was wrapped with a large number of black thorns with a metallic luster.
At this moment, Colin's eyes were focused on the string of numbers engraved on the base of the Holy Grail.
“‘6666666’…?”
Colin raised his eyebrows and looked at the formal Arabic numerals, not understanding their meaning for a moment.
It feels like some kind of number code, maybe a containment number?
Not sure...
Then, his sight focused on the entire bone holy grail.
Through the gaps between the slightly stretched and twisted ribs, one could see what seemed to be blood flowing.
The blood mist that the internal deformed body transformed into after death seemed to gather in it.
"What kind of prop is this? It looks a bit weird."
Colin grunted, and the flames on his body spread, covering all directions. After making sure there were no traps, he walked over cautiously step by step.
There are a total of 144 steps leading upwards...
After walking, Colin came to the platform and found that on the stone table, in addition to the bone holy grail, there was another thing on each side.
On the right is a withered, potato-sized seed-like thing.
It was also surrounded by a circle of black thorns.
On the left is a stone slab entangled with thorns.
"It has a certain mythical feel to it, but what are these things?"
Colin stood in front of the stone table and did not touch these things rashly.
The things above seem to be motionless...
In fact, with a little perception, it can be determined that it is an item of extremely high status, probably made of some body materials with the strength of a first-level containment object.
Especially this "holy grail", it feels like human bones, but I'm not sure...
However, at this moment, the task of finding the signal source was suddenly completed.
Immediately afterwards, another new event popped up.
[Event 3: Hand in the "Chalice of Thorns - World Manager Exclusive", "Ecological Simulation World Tree - Seed", and "Narrative Slate" from the "Lost World"...]
[Note: Please collect all blood in the hall into the "Cup of Thorns - World Administrator Exclusive" before confirming.]
…
With the emergence of this task, various inspirations appeared in Colin's mind.
Then, he couldn't help but put his hand on his chin and looked at this "Cup of Thorns" with a strange expression...
My previous intuition was not wrong.
This is indeed the holy grail that this "former company employee" made from his own bones.
If nothing unexpected happens, ribs are used.
That is, when your eyes are fixed on the Holy Grail, a line of information similar to the item introduction appears on your retina.
[Chalice of Thorns·Exclusive for World Managers: The symbolic things of managers, carefully selected high-quality materials, sincerely invited the masters of "Third Box Garden World" to create...]
[Note 1: The cup contains vibrant crimson blood, making anyone who sees it unable to resist drinking it all...]
[Note 2: Apparently to ensure sufficient material strength, a rumor circulated in a certain area that a certain "Lady Thorn," who wished to remain anonymous and unnamed, had been experiencing chest pains for a long time...]
…
"'Lady Thorn'? The maker of the item is actually a woman? So, the former employee is this woman? No, it's possible that the former employee just has this item..."
"However, the item description doesn't mention its use, so I guess I can't use it. It's just that I'm used to using bones as props..."
Colin thought about it and decided that judging from the style and the use of materials, it shouldn't be "Fire Bearer".
He was a little suspicious whether it was from the "light" school, as it was customary to use bones as props.
"No, there's nothing good to say about this. Damn, these old guys from the company are almost distorting my aesthetic sense..."
Colin collected his thoughts and did not rush to deal with other aberrations. Instead, he looked at the currently known information.
This "former company employee" seems to be of high status.
" World Administrator..."
This was the second time he had encountered a similar being. The previous one was the "Father of the Ocean," whose strength was at least above that of a mid-level containment creature. This time, he didn't see a name, but he felt it couldn't be much different...
If there's anything they both have in common, it's...
It seems like they are all dead?
There isn't much other valuable information.
The only thing worth thinking about is whether the "thorns" here are related to the "thorn device" that locks the train.
"I'm afraid we'll know when we see it."
Then, he looked to the side, at the "World Tree Seed" that was about the size of a potato...
[Ecological Simulation World Tree: A seed distributed from Campfire. Given sufficient basic materials, it can gradually transform the climate, ecology, gravity, and other factors of a desolate planet at a macro level over three years, transforming it into a habitable world suitable for human habitation.]
[Below are details on "planet size standards" and "material requirements"...]
…
"If I plant this, can it turn the planet into a habitable world? A true world tree..."
Colin was astonished. He had never thought that there was such a powerful thing in the company. He wanted to reach out and pick up the so-called "World Tree" seed to take a look at it, but he was worried that there might be some dangerous arrangements, so he gave up.
However, judging from this thing, Bonfire Company had quite a lot of black technology in its heyday.
Then, he subconsciously opened it to read the detailed instructions. It was filled with all kinds of incomprehensible formulas. Colin's eyes widened, and he suddenly calmed down and closed it directly.
At the moment, it seems that he cannot use this thing.
I looked back at the next one...
"Narrative Stele".
The notes said that it recorded all the conditions of this world, but on the stone tablet itself, Colin only saw a short line of words:
"We are not dead yet. On the day when the night fades away, we will return from suffering, witness the dawn, witness the future, and fight for all beautiful things."
Apart from that, it seems like I didn't see anything else.
"I guess the company can only interpret it after it's submitted. But, does this mean that this 'former employee' still has a chance of being resurrected?"
"Wait, it uses 'we', does that mean more than one person?"
Colin thought about it and felt that this might refer to a certain group of people, or it might refer to everyone in the world.
If you think about it carefully, the whole world is not very realistic.
That should be referring to the group of aberrations in the temple that cannot be burned to death...
As for more, I'm afraid we can only find out after the night fades.
After satisfying his curiosity, Colin didn't waste any more time and prepared to complete the task.
It didn't take much time to clear the aberrations...
About ten minutes later, the blood mist transformed from all the deformed forms returned to the Bone Grail, and then Colin directly handed over the three-piece set of administrators on the table.
After confirmation, a transparent vortex slowly emerged and swept the three items away.
"Are these the main things for this mission?"
Colin had his doubts.
Saving the group of traitorous believers of "Darkness" may just be a by-product; the key is to recover the equipment dropped by the old people of the previous dynasty.
"It's just fucking true. Recycling stuff, and it's fucking related to human tissue..."
He felt like he was really about to become an organ dealer traveling around the world.
However, just after completing this task, two small task events popped up in my mind one after another.
[Event 4: During the "Eternal Night Ritual", assist "Bonfire Company-49-Employee No. 4444444" in his actions.]
[Task Requirements: During the "Eternal Night Ritual", create a sufficiently large area to be irradiated by the "Fire Bearer" flame. The flame intensity should be maintained above "3.5" throughout the entire process.]
[Note: This incident ends when the "Eternal Night" ritual is completely destroyed, the "Thorn Device" is completely dismantled, and most people return to the train and choose to leave.]
【……】
[Event 5: Hunt down a certain number of aberrations and use the power of "Primordial Fire" to purify 100 liters of blood to create a cluster of "Bonfire Coordinate Points."]
[Note: Six hours before the "Eternal Night" ceremony begins, have two D-class personnel ignite their blood in advance...]
…
"After the ceremony begins, I'll go assist the 'branch' employee number 4444444? This... is it Akashi? This number seems pretty good, not worse than my Shunzi number. Wait, this mission requires..."
Colin shifted his attention from the names and numbers to the requirements...
Does this mean that when the time comes, he only needs to create a big enough flame and doesn't have to go up to fight?
this……
Is there such a good thing?
"If that's the case, it's like lighting a lamp. What's the point of that?"
"No, that's not right... My current peak normal level is level 3. If I keep a level 3.5 flame burning continuously for three to five hours without any other tasks, it won't be a big problem. But if I keep it burning for more than that, it will be a bit strenuous."
Colin stood on the platform and thought about it. At this time, he could only hope that things went smoothly.
Then, he looked at the second event of the mission.
The overall requirements are not difficult. The only word worth noting is "campfire coordinate point".
With this thing coming out, it seems the company is going to send someone over...
"It could be the 'Army Group,' 'Senior Recruit,' other employees on Earth, or someone assisting Ikashi in summoning. While I don't know who it is, one thing is certain..."
"It's probably unavoidable that those two D-class personnel who followed us will act as signal towers."
Colin smiled, then closed the mission information, turned around, wrapped himself in flames, and left at an extremely fast speed along the return route.
This mission was considered a perfect infiltration. When we left, no witnesses appeared...
A few hours later, Colin flew back to Ms. Akahi's base.
The Orange Cat and the "Lord of the Fish Pond", who had been a little uneasy, were relieved when they saw him reappear. In this damn place, Brother Shunzi could drive a Gundam around, but if it was just the two of them, the psychological pressure would be tremendous.
Fortunately, the person finally reappeared.
But then I noticed that behind Brother Shunzi, he seemed to be dragging a huge monster that looked like a local distortion.
"It just so happens that I need to talk to you two about something."
Colin came along, dragging the deformed creature, which was about the size of a truck.
The two people who were approaching quickly were stunned for a moment. The orange cat came to its senses first: "Huh? What's going on?"
"We're going to collect the blood from above. We need a hundred liters, but it doesn't seem to be enough here..."
As Colin spoke, he sprinkled some grease on the deformed body and set it on fire.
"This... do you need our help?" Akashi, dressed in black, walked up and asked.
"No, I'll just make two trips."
Colin waved his hand to refuse, but thinking of what happened in the ruins, he asked the queen again: "Is your employee ID number seven 4s?"
"Employee identification number?" A look of natural confusion .
Later, Colin soon learned that the other party only knew the company ID but was unclear about the identity number...
As for the reason, I guess it has something to do with not having a "personal resume".
"It has everything like maps, but it doesn't have such a basic feature..."
Colin shook his head and didn't ask any further questions.
Anyway, if nothing unexpected happens, combined with the previous information, the one with seven 4s must be this one.
The only uncertainty is what kind of helper she will shake...
Colin didn't dwell on it too much. About half an hour later, he returned to the camp dragging a bunch of materials. However, what he didn't expect was that the distorted creature that weighed at least ten tons before was only purified into less than one liter of blood this time!
"Is it burned so cleanly?"
Ke Lin looked at the two men holding the small basin of blood and couldn't help being speechless.
Of course there was more than that amount of blood in the monster's body, but after being purified by the "flame", there was not much left.
This task was much more troublesome than he thought!
I originally thought that this was a simple task that could be completed in about half an hour, but I was busy until the next day and only collected less than 60 or 70 liters!
"Fortunately, we had one day to prepare. Otherwise, with such a tight schedule, I would have wanted to remove my left hand and use it as material."
Colin, who had been busy for most of the day, couldn't help but complain.
Then, he turned around again, left the base, and rushed into the distorted world to collect campfire materials.
Colin didn't even look at the small individuals and simply passed them by .
The blood quality of low-level aberrations is extremely low. Burning a hundred of them might only yield less than ten milliliters of purified blood. Just looking at them feels like a waste of time...
Only highly intense aberrations are worthy of attracting his attention.
"Bang!"
Another mountain-like deformed form fell from the sky and landed on an open space outside the base.
"hiss……"
The eyes of the group of Beyonders using "Night" jumped. The other party was hunting down the aberrations this time. They didn't have a team of more than 200 people, and they didn't even dare to look at the advanced type...
But in the hands of the other party, it was like catching a chicken, being hunted down and then thrown away.
The key point is that he killed more than one of these terrifying people!
"It seems that all the high-level aberrations nearby have been killed?"
Next to Akashi, Winnie stared at the burning deformed corpse and spoke numbly.
This time, the foreign aid is really murderous...
