Chapter 580: No one is bullying us in Containment Zone No. 13!
In the complex and winding underground maze, a stream of light descended and condensed into the vague figure of Shana.
It was not the real body that came this time. After all, it was Colin who was surrendered to by this "King of Mad Sound", not her.
We still need to be careful when we need to be careful.
But when she came in, she did not sense the high-level life form. However, just as she was about to call out to the other party, a special figure composed of frequency bands emerged in the maze corridor.
Without any pleasantries, Shana looked at the form condensed by this "unruly" ancient god and said straight to the point: "I am going to where the 'bonfire' messenger is. Do you have any suggestions?"
As she spoke, she observed this being, and then she keenly noticed something...
This guy looked much weaker than the last time I saw him.
And it's not just a simple weakness, but the foundation of being a higher being seems to be shaken!
And it was so obvious that even she could notice it!
What's going on?
"Opinion……"
The King of Mad Voice's voice was filled with weakness: "I responded to the call not long ago and participated in the battle there. I returned not long ago..."
"Um?"
Shana raised her eyebrows. She didn't understand at first, but after a second, she figured it out and quickly asked, "What happened there?"
Although I don’t know how the “King of Mad Sound” got there.
However, as a first-level containment object, it must know more than those ordinary employees!
After hearing Shana's question, the "King of Mad Sound" was silent for a while...
Now, after withdrawing from the battlefield, he probably understood why he was "ridiculed" before. The "Bonfire Company" was actually in a state of collapse!
There are no "Fire Bearers" in the world today...
No wonder those guys dared to start a riot and try to overthrow the company's rule.
Although the current environment is beginning to lean towards a certain kind of "human nature," the foundation of this "human nature" has not yet been established, and there is still a lot of room for maneuver...
However, after thinking for a while, the "King of Mad Sound" sighed. No matter what, he was tied to the "Fire Bearer" reserve and had no other choice.
If that group of ancient gods succeeds, those of him who are in containment will only be eaten as food in the future.
After all, the relationship between "gods" is not much better than that of "Bonfire Company".
So even if he felt that there was no hope and he could order it, he still had to give it a try - what if?
Thinking of this, the "King of Crazy Sound" who had been silent for several seconds suddenly became motivated again. He wanted to "go all in" again!
Then, while rapidly pondering various possibilities, the "King of Mad Sound" briefly explained the situation at the time: "The battlefield over there is far beyond imagination. The 'Bonfire' agent is besieged by a large number of descended beings created by higher beings..."
He felt a little uncomfortable when using the word "large amounts" to describe the ancient gods.
Because there aren't actually that many Ancient God-level beings, and even in normal times, a large galaxy might not have that many either—
But no matter what, the high-ranking beings gathered there now can indeed be described as a large number.
"I fought alongside Mr. Bonfire Agent, but we were ultimately outnumbered. However, before leaving, I volunteered to rip off a portion of my authority to help him stimulate his hunger in order to deal with the large number of enemies..."
"Right now, I can sense that Mr. Agent is dying. I'm afraid the situation isn't very optimistic."
Hearing this, Shana's heart skipped a beat, but then she felt a little relieved when she heard the next words of the "King of Mad Sound".
"However, based on the remaining connections I have to my authority, I can confirm that it is still in the hands of the Bonfire agent and has not been taken away by anything else."
"So he's still alive," Shanna interrupted.
"Well, theoretically, that's the case. At least I think he's alive, but his condition isn't optimistic."
"As long as I'm alive, that's all."
Shana breathed a sigh of relief. If she had received the news of his death before even setting off...
No, you shouldn't even think about this kind of thing!
At this time, the "King of Mad Sound" continued, "Regarding your opinion of going there, theoretically, you can't go there. There's something equally transcendent covering it... But since you've come to me like this, I think you have a solution. I can learn about it first."
Shana was silent for a moment, briefly explaining some key points, such as the issue of the pass, and only roughly the process.
"Going through various transfer stations, it takes so long..."
For the "King of Mad Sound", one or two years is not a long time, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly now, and everything may change in the blink of an eye.
However, thinking back to those "Red Moon" fragments I saw before...
The "King of Mad Sound" probably had some judgment and felt that his "leader" might actually be able to drag it out until that time.
After thinking for a moment, the "King of Mad Sound" said, "Look, you already have a way to get there. What remains is some practical support in terms of combat effectiveness..."
"Yeah." Shana nodded.
Compared to other aid, if there is a choice, it would be best to provide a means to get there faster, but unfortunately there is none at the moment, so the secondary is combat power.
While thinking, Shana also had a new understanding of this existence...
Before, whenever the other party appeared in front of Colin, he basically appeared in a non-serious manner, like a treacherous jester who only knew how to brag and flatter.
But now, without Colin, it suddenly seemed much wiser.
I'm afraid that only in front of Mr. Colin will it show that look again...
Shanna couldn't help but think about it.
At this moment, the "King of Mad Sound" spoke: "It's difficult for me to provide much help in this regard. However, there are ways to obtain assistance. It may require you to make some promises..."
"What do you mean?" Shana asked in confusion.
In response to her question, the "King of Mad Sound" did not answer directly, but said:
"The vast majority of the high-level beings contained within the 'World Number' were forcibly endowed with a certain seed of human nature. This will allow them, including me, to develop a certain degree of human wisdom and a corresponding way of thinking...
"Of course, these human logics aren't necessarily beneficial, as they can also lead to resentment towards us, much like the hatred between ordinary people...
"But at the same time, because they are imbued with a certain human logic, their behavior patterns will no longer be so difficult to understand, and you will have the opportunity to persuade .
"Explain the pros and cons, and promise them enough benefits to get them to work for you..."
Hearing this, Shana nodded. She could understand this method, but how to do it specifically was still under discussion.
"In terms of interests... Although they hate you, the Fire Embracers, and the Bonfire Company, they hate the success of those ancient beings from other worlds even more..."
"Because if those beings succeed, those of us imprisoned will surely die. There will be no other way out."
"The King of Mad Sound" describes the relationship between them.
Simply put , as long as the "Bonfire Company" is there, they won't necessarily die. They might suffer a little, but at least they can stay alive. As long as they haven't committed a serious crime, at most they'll be forced to work as laborers, cooperate as test subjects, or something like that...
Sustainability has been exhausted, but there is still hope.
Who knows when he will be promoted to a regular employee and start exploiting others together with the company?
Just like the direction he is working towards now.
But if those guys succeed, they will simply drain the pond to catch all the fish. All the beings that are taken in will have all their wills wiped out, and they will be served on the table, becoming "fish" to be eaten and become part of others.
"In terms of interests, they are trapped by the status quo. What they need now is nothing more than 'life' and 'freedom'..."
"Both of these can be obtained in the same way..."
"That means getting a 'staff position'!"
At this point, the "King of Mad Sound" paused and pointed out logically:
"Of course, 'staff positions' are not easy to come by. You certainly can't promise them. They have to be reviewed by senior management, and then go through internal review, etc.
"As key individuals detained there, they certainly can't be released easily.
"But there is an opportunity now. If you can provide some assistance during the divine disaster and succeed, you might even have the opportunity to redeem yourself for your crimes. At the very least, you can at least save your life."
Why are the objects contained in "World No. 13" moving more and more frequently?
Or maybe it’s because he knows he might be trapped and die soon.
Before the arrival of "2044", it was directly "decontaminated" by some means left in the containment unit.
But if you can "have merit", the situation will be different.
In addition, it would help the "Fire Bearer" to successfully prepare for war. Although it is a little dangerous, the greater the wind and waves, the greater the benefits!
In this case, if there is a position available, they will be given priority!
only……
Although the King of Mad Sound's explanation made sense, Shana still felt that it was a little unreal - she had only seen one abnormal and terrifying containment creature like the King of Mad Sound.
Other existences...
He is so majestic. Could he really be convinced by himself because of the "establishment treatment"?
"If that's the case, why didn't they choose to surrender before?" Shana asked in confusion.
"Before? The past is the past, and now is now..."
The King of Mad Voice explained, "Before, there was no way out. Surrender? Who would you surrender to? Who would promise you anything? Mr. Bonfire Agent is different. He actually has the ability to accept surrenders...
"And there's another key point: even if they're instinctively seeking profit and avoiding harm, they wouldn't want to see those ancient beings succeed...
"Also, compared to the past, this incident was able to pass internal review, which is a real meritorious service."
After hearing his words, Shana nodded as if she understood something.
Of course, she still had some doubts about this. It was hard to imagine that such a high-ranking person would choose to help or even join the company just because of a "staff position"...
You know, to put it nicely it's called an organization, but to put it bluntly it's... surrendering and working like a slave. The key is that you have to grab the opportunity to work like a slave yourself!
A bit outrageous...
Well, it’s not entirely unbelievable for such an outrageous thing, because there is indeed a “precedent” here.
Shana glanced at the "King of Mad Sound" without leaving a trace.
At this time, she heard the "King of Mad Sound" add:
"Of course, this requires finding the right target. Not everyone can use this method. Some have committed serious crimes and cannot be saved no matter how much merit they have. They haven't been killed yet simply because of their special powers. We're keeping them alive because we can't kill them right away. As time goes by, they'll eventually be worn down."
"I see."
Shana nodded and asked another question: "In this case, how can we ensure that they won't be seduced by other beings after joining us?"
Since the ancient beings could be coerced and bribed by her, would they also turn against them for the same reason?
Talking about this, the "King of Mad Sound" suddenly felt a little sad:
"Because the Ancient Gods cannot trust each other, any promises they make to each other can be invalidated. It's just a matter of paying a price. However, the Bonfire Company has some special agreements that can guarantee the validity of the promises we receive from the company. This validity cannot be simply broken by paying a price. It is like a kind of 'fact'. Once it is made, it will be realized!"
This is a very contradictory thing, even though countless high-ranking people hate Bonfire Company...
However, it cannot be denied that "Bonfire Company" is a rare entity that can be trusted.
"Reputation" is one of its foundations.
Otherwise, the company wouldn't be able to recruit so many high-level containment creatures to work for it.
Of course, it is a different story for corporate people when it comes to "devils". When faced with things that they define as "devils", although they may deceive, they usually do not make promises in essence, or they may contain traps in their promises.
The "King of Mad Sound" only knows that there is some irreconcilable hatred between the "Company" and the so-called "Devil", but the reason is unknown...
At this time, Shana, who understood, asked:
"So, what should we do? And how should we find and choose the people to persuade..."
"This isn't 100% guaranteed to succeed, but I can try to help you build some basic foundation first, and then I can help you get more people involved..."
At this point, the "King of Mad Sound" seemed to recall something and gritted his teeth, "Damn it! Last time, a bunch of people surrounded me and beat me up! They were bullying us. There's no one in the containment area of 'Numbered World'!"
Although the number of people here is probably more than an order of magnitude less than that over there, if we can rally a group of people, we won't be beaten like that...
Just as he thought of this, some "knowledge" suddenly appeared in his cognition.
If we analyze it, it seems like - who is a friend and who is an enemy?
