Chapter 501 The enemy of all "divinity"!
"Fuck, stop for a minute, we haven't even gotten on the bus yet!"
"Stop! What would I do without you? Why didn't you remind me just when I started..."
"Don't go, don't go, take us with you!"
"How can we live without you!!!"
“…”
The heart-wrenching cries of the employees rang out from outside the train car. Colin heard and saw it, but there was nothing he could do. This train was fully automated in a sense, and once it started, he had no way of controlling it...
Or to be more precise, there is no such permission.
Outside the window, some employees tried to get on the bus through various means.
However, even though the train was not going fast at that time, probably not much faster than an average person riding a bicycle, they still couldn't get on.
After the doors closed, everyone who tried to get on the train found it difficult to get close to the train itself...
The short distance seems to be infinitely far away.
Some employees tried to use their own props or talents to try or even attack, but in the end they failed.
Even if there were a few who managed to break through the inexplicable barriers and touch the train.
But the result still hasn't changed...
"It seems they can't get on the train. The only person with the authority to operate this train is probably 'Ms. Thorn'. I don't know where she has disappeared to." Colin shook his head and looked away.
At this moment, someone in another carriage called out his name: "Brother Shunzi? Is Brother Shunzi over there?"
"It's me, but I can't leave. What's going on?"
Colin raised his eyebrows. He thought that the only people who could call him by that name were probably his employees.
After a little thought, he realized that some employees happened to be on the train car when he was driving, and then they noticed his scent and naturally came over to take a look.
"Can the train stop now?" Several employees outside walked around the piles of former "Dark Night" believers in the carriage.
Through the feedback from the firelight, Colin knew that the visitors should be the "Owner of the Fish Pond", "It's Not the Orange Cat's Fault" and a few other employees.
At this moment, they were sticking their heads out towards the connecting door of the train compartment they were in, trying to get in, but were blown out by the air pressure caused by the flames.
Although the fire did no harm to them.
But some wind pressure still exists...
Especially when a "secondary containment" is ignited.
So I could only stand outside the door and shout, and see Brother Shunzi inside through the reflection of the window...
"The train itself is not open to us. Those people from other companies have all been connected. Once it starts, it can't be stopped. At least I can't operate it..." Colin shook his head.
"Okay, so what about those people?"
"what to do?"
Colin looked past the employees outside and into the distance. The fighting here had continued until now, and the various arrangements that had originally protected this place had been breached, which seemed to have also attracted the gazes of some deformed creatures from afar...
The "lucky" employees who were staring at the mirror also looked out along with his movements.
Then, I soon realized...
These people probably have an idea of how they will get home when the time comes.
I don't think it will be a good experience...
then……
"Haha, luckily I got on the bus quickly, otherwise I would have been stuck like those unlucky guys."
"It's so funny that they used us as minions and teleported us to a taunt. It's karma."
"Oh my! There's a guy who seems to be about to hit the train. Brother Shunzi, can you open the window and pry his hands apart? I'm afraid he might actually climb up."
“…”
There is no sadness. Knowing that I can be resurrected and return, there is only gloating.
Colin shook his head. He was not surprised by this situation . Then, seeing that the few people had nothing to do, he assigned them some temporary tasks.
Do your best to help treat the injured people on the train.
"Okay!" The employees did not object and turned around to take action.
Colin withdrew his attention from these people and glanced at the containment objects under his feet that were twitching in the flames but not completely dead. He increased the intensity of the flames to allow more energy to penetrate into the workshop to speed up the process.
About ten minutes later, the gray fog surrounding the train compartment grew thicker...
The faces of the employees outside the window became more and more desperate, and correspondingly, most of the employees inside the carriage laughed more happily.
However, after a few more minutes, the train finally picked up speed.
The voices of the employees outside were completely gone...
For a moment, the train compartment began to become silent.
Although the carriage was full of people at this moment, apart from the sound of the train itself, it was still too silent.
It was at this moment that Colin suddenly heard some whispers...
"Dad, will we come back later? Where are we going now..."
"Dad doesn't know either..."
Some conversation sounds came from the surrounding carriages which were slightly silent.
Through the flames, Colin observed the "branch" employees, all of whom had thorns on their heads, and found that they were looking at the outside world without saying a word.
The emotions in everyone's eyes are very complicated, there is reluctance, sadness, or confusion and at a loss, etc.
For many people who have been born into this world, although this distorted world is full of countless dangers, it is, after all, the place where they live and grew up.
At this moment, after a ceremony, they said goodbye and left. Everything seemed so sudden.
but……
Although they lost their homes, they gained freedom.
Well, true freedom, and a future that shouldn't be that bad.
"I don't know if the company has made any follow-up arrangements for them."
Colin looked at his current task. After taking the people away, there were no other arrangements related to these people.
The only task is to enter the fuel room when stopping at the ninth station and then "keep a hand".
The employees are probably in the same boat, there won't be any further follow-up - otherwise they wouldn't just throw it away after use.
Judging from the rules and regulations of the "Bonfire Company", it is estimated that there must be some arrangements for them.
I just don’t know what it will be.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears:
"You actually still care about them? Don't worry, I'll take care of the subsequent matters concerning them."
Colin looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black robe appear out of thin air in the middle of the train carriage. Around the robe, circles of black thorns were wrapped around it like vines, like decorations.
Then, within the robe, the figure of a lady gradually became clearer from blurry to distinct.
"Lady of Thorns".
The face is still the same as "Raniwea" or "Aikashi".
But compared to before, her temperament has changed a lot, and she is no longer so dark and cold.
"Is this what you really look like?" Colin asked.
"Well, about that." "Ms. Thorn" did not give a very clear explanation.
At this time, after appearing, she slowly floated to Colin's side, looked at the collection on the ground, and made a slight "hum" sound, as if condemning Colin's behavior.
"Next, I will take them through perhaps a dozen or even dozens of stops before arriving at a safe world. After all, they are now considered my employees, or even my believers. I will protect them."
"Ms. Thorn" continued to explain.
"Dozens of stations?" Kelin was surprised. "Can they really handle so many stations ?"
"What's so hard to bear?"
Ms. Thorn glanced at him and continued, "Although I feel like there seems to be some problem with the train track, it's not a big problem for me.
"Of course, there's a prerequisite for this, which is that you don't ride with me for more than three stops."
"Huh? Why?" Colin was puzzled.
"Ms. Thorn" did not respond immediately, but instead clasped her hands in front of her chest. The black thorns pierced into her skin, causing Colin pain, but she seemed to have no reaction at all.
Then, Colin saw the other person glance at him up and down, with an indescribable strange expression:
"Before, when 'Dark Night' was here, I didn't dare to show up much, and I didn't even notice that you were only D-rank! Of course, it's not that your strength is special or rare, but there are some special people who are very strong at D-rank."
Hearing this, a name subconsciously popped up in Colin's mind, "The Man Chasing Light".
At this time, the words of "Madam Thorn" continued to be heard: "The key is that you are a reserve member of the 'Fire Bearer'. This is not normal. The D-level protection level is not enough to protect you...
"It might be okay now, but if you take two more stops, you'll be outside 'a wall' by then."
She tutted twice. "By then, I think I'll have to jump out of the car, or I'll be beaten to death along with you by the enemies who come looking for me. I'm not called the gravedigger of all chaotic divinities for nothing."
While speaking, "Ms. Thorn" also clapped her hands together to indicate that there was no way to retreat.
"Uh." Colin responded awkwardly without refutation.
He had not experienced the hatred value of the "Fire Bearer" specifically, but he still knew it.
The Red Moon is hated because of what it wants to do, not because those people hate it...
But the "Fire Bearers" are different. Their hatred value is based on the various immoral things they do. In terms of hatred value alone, it is probably higher than that of "Red Moon" and "Dark Night", and they are firmly at the top of the list.
"Of course, don't worry. I won't jump out of the car. I will definitely protect you. But the outcome won't change. At most, we'll both be beaten to death..."
"Well, I have top-tier company health insurance, so it won't be a big deal in the end."
"But you can't say for sure..."
"Ms. Thorn" kept mumbling, and her words were somewhat inconsistent with her original "cold" appearance and personality.
But compared to this, Colin suddenly noticed a key word in her words:
“Medical insurance?”
There was always a sense of absurdity when this word came out of the mouth of a "god", but he was also curious, what kind of insurance could give "Ms. Thorn" the confidence to not be afraid of being beaten to death?
"The source is a high-level insurance policy related to multiple protocols and Level 0 matters. It was jointly launched by the three giants. As long as I'm not captured on the spot by a Level 0 lifeform, even if a Super Level 1 comes, I have nothing to fear. As long as I hold on, it won't be a big deal. And I happen to be quite durable, haha."
Seeing the eagerness on the Fire Bearer's reserve's face, Lady Thorn felt somewhat pleased.
"Don't even think about it. There were only 100 copies back then, and we fought tooth and nail to get them. Now they're all gone, and there's no way to transfer them."
"That's a pity..." Colin shook his head.
If this thing really exists, as long as the price is not outrageous, you can try to buy one.
However, although I didn't buy the insurance, one thing is certain...
"Ms. Thorn" is probably the type with a cheerful and talkative personality, and she probably doesn't have much to do with "Red Moon".
"Speaking of which, what exactly is the situation regarding the Big Three? For example, what are their names?"
Colin continued to ask questions, thinking that he had finally caught an insider and wanted to squeeze as much information as possible out of him.
The train is now heading towards the ninth station. This time may be long or short. If you want to know something, it is best to do so now!
"ha?"
Ms. Thorn tilted her head and looked at him, her delicate face, which seemed to be covered by a veil, was filled with inexplicable surprise.
"Although it seems that something has changed in the company, don't the young people nowadays even know about those three?"
Colin shook his head. He didn't know anyway.
The group on Earth don’t know either, and no one outside the Earth has mentioned the specific name.
"Hey, alright, since I'm kindhearted, I'll mercifully share some knowledge with you. The three giants of the Campfire Camp are..."
Ms. Thorn raised her eyebrows, her expression gradually becoming serious. "Well, who were they?"
"'Light', 'First Fire'?" Colin reminded kindly.
"Hiss... It seems right, but also seems wrong..." "Ms. Thorn" did not give a definite answer. She just tilted her head greatly and stretched out her white hand to scratch the head wearing the crown of thorns.
Seeing this, Colin couldn't help but complain in his heart. This feeling was not as good as him. At least he knew that "light" or someone who had a deep connection with "light" was a giant...
There may be another one among the "Fire Bearers", but the details are unclear.
There are traces of both.
There was also a third party who looked completely clueless and it was hard to guess who it was.
It was mainly this person that Colin wanted to satisfy his curiosity.
"Hey, hey, hey, it seems like a mysterious force interfered with my cognition. I forgot it. Anyway, it's not very important. Since I can't remember it, don't waste your time. You know, knowing more is not necessarily a good thing. Ignorance is bliss, hehe."
Ms. Thorn smiled without feeling awkward at all, intending to let the matter go.
Colin shook his head and didn't dwell on it any further. These three seemed to have certain taboos in this era that couldn't even be mentioned.
But the "Lady of Thorns" clearly knows more than that...
He thought about it and decided to continue trying to get some knowledge out of it, thinking that it would be a waste if he didn't get the wool.
For example, the company's senior management structure, various agreements and Rosen or other "fire holders" related...
Or maybe you can just satisfy your curiosity about things related to this distorted world.
But at this moment, a deafening sound like a roar suddenly came from outside the train that had already started running. This sound even dispersed some of the gray fog outside the carriage, allowing the view outside the window to reappear.
The outside was no longer a distorted world, but a magnificent star outline...
Outside this huge star, there are countless giant "black thorns" entwined.
The roar seemed to be coming from the thorns that covered the sky and the earth...
"this……"
"It's okay. It's just my body screaming instinctively, the result of carrying the fate of 'Night'. It's not a big deal, though. It's just raging with helplessness after losing its coordinates. I'll be able to sever all these connections in a moment."
"Ms. Thorn" waved her hand and spoke quickly, looking nonchalant, but Colin suddenly felt that her words were no longer as light as before, as if she was suppressing unspeakable extreme pain.
On the surface, though, “The Lady of Thorns” shows none of that.
"Now that things are over here, let's send these people away first. I'll also go out and get some fresh air."
After saying that, the place became quiet for a while.
"Ms. Thorn" stood by the window, looking at the planet, with some inexplicable emotions flashing in her eyes.
Sadness seems to be spreading...
Colin was thinking about whether to go forward and offer some comfort, but he seemed to hear the "administrator" muttering:
"My beautiful number...
"My top-tier account '4444444' was ruined by both 'Red Moon' and 'Dark Night'..."
