Chapter 521 "Mirror London"
"This place has fallen, it's dangerous! Please leave immediately..."
"This place has fallen, it's dangerous, please immediately..."
"here……"
The woman in white holding a large axe seemed to have a loudspeaker on her body, repeating these words loudly.
As she walked along, she madly attacked all the abnormalities she could attack.
"The body of a Level 7 personnel..."
Colin took a look. Although this woman was not very strong, there were some interesting things attached to her body.
Its strength is enough to meet Colin's requirements...
"Grace... an official who worked for the Opera House. Four months ago, while evacuating civilians, she was attacked by an anomaly. She's confirmed dead, but her body has not been recovered. Someone once encountered her being controlled by the anomaly, but due to the short duration and urgency of the encounter, it's unclear. Officials have classified her threat level as a Level 4 containment object..."
The little maid's voice rang in my ears.
"Level 4? I'm afraid 4 is too low. I guess it didn't explode, and the effect wasn't as explosive as the others, so I don't think it's very threatening..."
Colin saw the woman who had been abnormally controlled and moved like a ghost. Judging from the "Fire Holder"'s inspiration for firewood, he was basically certain that this was the target he needed to wait for.
That is: the combustion value of a secondary containment object.
To be more precise, it was the golden mask on her face that exuded strong malice.
"After waiting for so long, I finally saw one that works."
Colin didn't delay for a moment and moved decisively. He bent his feet slightly, pushed hard on the ground, and flew out like a cannonball.
Manyu Jin, who was still sitting on the pile of corpses, immediately raised his hand to adjust his glasses, intending to see how Colin would quickly kill the second-level containment object.
Although the strengths of both sides are different, we should learn as much as possible if we have the opportunity.
At the very least, it's pretty good to just be a spectator.
However, just as he was about to eat the watermelon, he suddenly discovered that he had lost his target lock...
The thing that Colin thought was a secondary containment object, and Colin himself, disappeared.
Xuan Xuanjin immediately widened his eyes and was a little panicked.
But at the same time, he vaguely heard a sentence floating in the haze.
"I request a fair and impartial duel against this particular anomaly..."
"Duel? What is this? The necessary speech when using some props?" Xuan Xujin was knowledgeable and immediately guessed the reason why Colin said this.
But I still don’t quite understand where the two of them went. I just feel like they seem to be here, but also seem not to be here.
Add to that the effect of the "haze angel" and you can't see anything at all...
The idea of watching a play has gone away.
However, thanks to his super spiritual premonition that far surpassed other types of "fortune-telling", he was still able to vaguely perceive some of Colin's current conditions, and heard that there seemed to be a battle... or a confrontation?
"I promise... I will not evade this battle... To be fair... the other party will also..."
"...I promise not to use mental attacks in this battle...as a matter of fairness..."
"...No need to call for help from any great being... Fair..."
The intermittent voices I heard were filled with the word "fairness"...
For many people, this little bit was enough for him to roughly understand the situation. Then his face twitched, and he looked surprised.
"Fuck, is there such a shameless prop in this world?"
He couldn't help but think about what would happen if he was pulled into such a space and then a few "fairness" came...
The result is something that can be expected with just one’s imagination, and the end will probably be disastrous.
The opponent might have some restrictions on banning, so it's impossible to ban all of his abilities unconditionally, but as long as it can affect the key points, such as banning avoidance behavior...
Those who engage in guerrilla warfare such as "fortune-telling" will probably be beaten badly.
Just when many people were thinking about this, Colin started fighting directly.
Layer after layer of flames like huge waves swept around, causing the temperature in the field to rise rapidly and creating a territory that was beneficial to them.
Then, from the flames, Colin, enraged, stretched out a giant hand of fire that covered the entire sky, launching a direct and violent attack on the abnormal body.
The corpse of the woman wearing a half-face golden mask raised the axe in her hand and chopped it hard at the flaming hand, chopping off a finger.
A strange power spreads within the axe...
She was about to split the entire bonfire hand into two pieces with unstoppable force.
"He's actually staring at my Crazy Fire Hand instead of me. This abnormality is a bit too young..."
A thought flashed through his mind, and Colin gripped the revolver tightly in his right hand, stimulating the power of the bonfire. Then, with a blink of his left eye, he activated the "Goodwill of the Fire Bearer."
In an instant, the woman who had just jumped up suddenly exploded into flames. Caught off guard, she was burned until only "a trace of blood" was left .
On the woman's face, dark wire-worm-like things stretched out from the half-face golden mask and penetrated into the woman's facial features, as if they wanted to completely control the corpse in order to oppose Colin.
However, the next second, Colin casually swung the bone spur, which flew out and pierced the woman's heart...
The charred corpse instantly swelled and bloated, and black pus oozed out from the cracks on its surface caused by the flames...
This body is completely ruined.
The golden mask's filamentous tentacles retracted one by one.
Colin's figure flashed and he came in front of it. He turned the revolver into a long clip, clamped the mask, and performed a brief cremation for this foreign official who had the courage to save civilians.
“Huff, huff, huff~”
Flames poured into the golden mask frantically, breaking the seal that had almost disappeared.
"There's a special space inside... This thing isn't small."
Colin increased the flame as he sensed it.
As the flames burned, the special space began to collapse. The black iron worm-like thing was forced out of the golden mask and then, in an instant, was burned into charcoal containing terrifying energy...
Although this strange creature, which seemed to be accustomed to parasitism, still wanted to struggle, it was impossible to turn the situation around at this point.
Aside from Colin, there's nothing around for it to parasitize...
Nearly half an hour later, there were about a hundred cubic meters of high-efficiency energy charcoal in front of Colin, which looked like rice noodle soup...
And with its complete death, the "Arena" effect was finally lifted.
“Bang, bang, bang…”
The two-headed little fist stone came from afar, dragging the other charcoal firewood collected along the way. Under Colin's instructions, it began to organize the campfire firewood pile.
"Unbelievable... Is this resolved?"
Many people stood aside, looking at the huge black mass in disbelief.
But judging from the faint aura emanating from it, this is indeed the wreckage of a genuine second-level containment object.
As a result, in the opponent's hands, before it could even demonstrate its own capabilities, it turned into a piece of carbon.
"Well, it only took a few minutes to kill it, but it took me quite a while to roast it into charcoal."
Colin then spoke as if it was as simple as killing a chicken. Manyin shook his head, not knowing what to say.
Without paying attention to his thoughts, Colin simply arranged the firewood and continued on his way, hunting some level three or four containment objects...
Use the firewood to roughly contain the fog as much as possible.
As for how to arrange these...
Colin had never learned it, but after becoming a reserve member of the Fire Bearer, he had learned some things without a teacher.
"After the arrangement is completed, the firewood is just left there. Aren't you afraid that it will be destroyed?" Xuanyijin asked.
"It's possible..."
Colin didn't deny it, but continued, "But the possibility isn't very high. First, the influence of the 'Haze Angel' is still very strong. If we put it outside, those things won't be able to see it.
"Secondly, those with intelligence within the anomaly are generally extremely powerful. Not to mention the higher-ups, there are some who are at least level seven or eight, but these are basically sealed...
"Generally speaking, low-level anomalies are naturally repelled by the 'bonfire' aura and won't come over, so the possibility is not high..."
Of course, the safest approach is to bring firewood with you and wait until you have enough materials before making arrangements...
But the problem is that Colin doesn't have enough independent space to carry so much firewood.
Many Jin listened to Colin's answer, thought for a moment, and said, "Do we need to find some people to guard it? No, it seems not. It's okay when we're stationed at the station, but if we leave the station, people will attract monsters, which will make it more likely to cause trouble..."
He had only said half of it when he shook his head, denying his own idea.
"Well, so let's leave it at that for now. We can hunt again if there are any problems."
Colin waved his hand and continued to move. It took him about six or seven hours to walk around the foggy city and build a total of twenty-nine bonfires.
Apart from the most important bonfire, the others are either level three or level four or five...
After finishing, they started to head towards the next dangerous restricted area.
That place is not very far from here, only less than a hundred kilometers.
But not long after he walked over, Colin was startled and found something wrong...
There is actually an intact city ahead?
There are even a large number of people among them...
Colin waved his hand, causing the "Mountain of Smiling Corpses" to stop moving. Flames gathered in his pupils as he looked ahead at the smog-covered city, then at the figure of a man dressed in white-collar clothing.
"Ahem, this damn weather..."
The white-collar worker walked into an office building while coughing and cursing.
It looks like he's going to work...
No, I really go to work!
Because not only him, many shops nearby are still operating normally.
Colin didn't know what to say, but at the moment, it seemed that because of the good protection, the city was not haunted?
"How did they do that? Everyone outside is considering sinking the island, but there are still people up there who haven't noticed anything."
Colin was a little shocked to be honest.
He knew that there were many survivors on the island who had not had time to leave the country, but what he didn't expect was that these survivors could still go to work as usual?
But the next second, he suddenly realized something was wrong. This city looked familiar...
"Isn't this the Fog City?! What kind of illusion have we fallen into?" Colin glared. They had just come from there, so how come they ran into another one?
"This city should be another large special containment facility of theirs... It seems to be called 'Mirror London' or something. It has a very high level of confidentiality and has not been announced to the public. During the disaster, many people were somehow transferred inside..." Manyin said after looking at it for a few seconds.
Although he had never seen it, he had some general information about it.
Colin waited for him to continue, but Duojin waved his hand to indicate that there was nothing more to say.
I bet you know the name...
Colin was speechless, then looked towards the city, noticing many details, such as how everything in this "fog city" seemed to be the opposite of reality...
It really is like a mirror, and there seems to be not only one foggy city in it, but also a wider area further away.
It's like an otherworldly world.
But at the same time, Colin also realized that the flames on his body could not shine into it.
In the firelight, one can sense a strange yet resilient layer between the mirror image and reality...
He tried to ask the maid, but the maid told him that in the information provided there, "Mirror London" was just given a name, and the rest was at most a reminder that no one should try to enter, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
"It seems that there is no need for us to intervene here."
Colin said this casually, then looked at an area not far away that was shrouded in thick smog. The things in "Mirror London" seemed to have attracted a lot of abnormal life forms, but they could see it but couldn't get in.
So they huddled together on the edge of "Mirror London" and were then sealed away by the "Angel of Haze"...
At this time, there was movement in the haze.
Colin and Xuanyu Jin turned around at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a team led by eighth-level personnel wearing red turbans sitting on a flying carpet and quickly approaching them.
"you……"
Without waiting for the red-turbaned Level 8 officer to finish, Xuanyujin took out the documents in his hand and handed them over. "We are here specifically to handle matters related to the island incident. We hope you can provide some assistance."
"Okay..." The red-headed eighth-level personnel took a look and nodded numbly after confirming that the document was correct.
But this moment, when he looked at the slightly bald figure of Xuanyuan Jin, there was more respect on his face.
Feeling this inexplicable extra respect, Xuanzi Jin had a slightly strange expression, wondering if the other party had misunderstood something.
Without saying much, an eighth-level personnel with a red headscarf, who was wearing a loose ethnic-style robe but was extremely thin and looked like an ascetic, took the two of them to a monitoring point not far from here and gave them the corresponding information.
It records the anomalies that should be paid attention to in the "sealed area" next to it...
Just like last time, Colin didn't stay here for long and went to the restricted area with a lot of gold.
However, this time, the Red Turban Level 8 personnel did not sit idly by, but instead organized a small team to follow...
"Sorry, this place is quite important and we cannot make any mistakes, so the headquarters ordered us to follow. We hope we can help you." An accompanying person next to the eighth-level red-turbaned personnel spoke.
Xu Duojin frowned, but before he could speak, Kelin waved his hand: "If they want to follow, let them follow."
Although I know that the other party is more for monitoring...
But Colin didn't care much about this.
After this brief interlude, Colin stood on the "Smiling Corpse Mountain," casually releasing sparks to resolve the anomalies attracted by his flames, while quickly moving towards the target area...
The red-hooded level 8 personnel who were following the two men saw Colin's unusually nonchalant and relaxed manner in handling the situation, and the numb expression on his face became even more silent.
He was previously told by the rear that a level eight and a level nine soldier were coming, and asked to cooperate as much as possible.
He subconsciously thought that the older, bald man was a Level Nine officer, and the younger-looking one was a Level Eight, but he didn't expect...
The other way around...
But it's not a big problem.
He withdrew his respect from the bald man and instead gave it to the "young man" who looked young but might actually be the oldest.
In the extraordinary world, everything is based on strength.
Of course, respect is respect, but the tasks that need to be performed still need to be performed.
