Chapter 93: Lost Collection "Light Shadow Stone Buddha"
"Wait, thirteen 'Books of Numerology' in a row?"
When Ke Lin heard the name, he was stunned and raised his hand to interrupt Hu Xiaoyuan's speech: "Are you saying that the captain of the Border Guard used thirteen copies of the Book of Numerology?"
Thirteen! Isn't this official power a little too extravagant?
You know, he didn't buy any tickets during this mission.
"Um."
The tall deputy captain of the cleaning team nodded and said, "That anomaly was very dangerous before. The ones we are facing now are actually after the source has been weakened, so the movements are so stiff and slow. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to deal with them."
After a pause, she added: "Later, the team leader sent people to break out and send a distress signal, but the breakout personnel disappeared. We thought it had failed. After using the only remaining 'Book of Numerology', we realized that it had succeeded.
"We know from the 'Book of Numerology' that you will appear from the predetermined direction on time three days later..."
As expected, the reason why they didn’t doubt me was because of the “Book of Fortune Telling”…
After hearing the "Book of Numerology", Colin immediately understood the reason, so he was not surprised at all.
What really made him curious was what was the relationship between the official forces and Bonfire Company?
"Could it be that there are so few copies of the 'Book of Numerology' because there are official staff in the company, so they were all snatched away? No wonder I couldn't find it these days. How can an individual rob more than a group of people..."
Colin grumbled in his heart. The reason why he did not guess that Bonfire Company was an official force was very simple.
If this thing belongs to any country on earth...
With those "agreements", the Earth would most likely have entered the interstellar age long ago, and space battleships might have been sailing to other worlds one by one to collect various resources instead of staying in the solar system and engaging in internal strife every day.
Thoughts flashed through his mind. Colin said nothing on the surface, but opened his mouth and said:
"So, what about those anomalies? You just said that once you go out and are exposed to the light, you will be attacked immediately. Then why did you keep the lights on just now?"
“This is the biggest problem here…”
Hu Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly, "If we turn on the lights, we can solve the problems we encounter, but if we turn off the lights, we will only encounter more bizarre things. In the dark, our bodies will become cold, and we usually can't stand it for about a minute at most...
"The only lucky thing now is that these dangers only occur at night, and if people stay in a completely enclosed building, they will not be attacked by unknown attacks."
Is it so mysterious? If you turn on the light, you will be attacked. If you don’t turn on the light, you will also be attacked…
Colin was a little surprised when he heard this, but he suddenly remembered that when he was in "World No. 13", something seemed to happen there at night.
"Mr. Lin, we learned from the last prediction that you have resolved this crisis. Can I ask how you plan to resolve it? Although we don't have any special means, we will try our best to provide some cooperation if necessary."
How to solve it? How do I know how to solve it...
When Colin heard this, he also had a headache, because the cleaner in front of him didn't know what was in the underground temple.
After the arrival of the "Border Guards", her task was to help evacuate the periphery, and she only knew a rough idea of what was going on.
She didn't know much about the identities of the cultists or the details of the underground temple.
If you want to understand the situation, you may have to go deep into the construction site and find the group of "border guards" to find out the situation.
However, just when Colin suggested going to the core area where the problem broke out, a piece of information suddenly popped up in his mind.
[Single Player Trial Mission (2/3) - "Abnormalities in the Town" has been completed. ]
Huh? Is that it ? Colin paused.
[Single Player Trial Mission - "Recover the Lost Low-Risk Collection 'Light Shadow Stone Buddha'" has been issued. ]
Colin was stunned by the information in his mind. He then found an excuse, went to the bathroom, took a few steps back, sat on the toilet and took out the parchment from his pocket.
[Single Player Trial Mission - "Recover the lost low-risk storage object 'Light Shadow Stone Buddha'." ]
[Description: A lost containment object that was lost in the company a long time ago. Its body is actually a group of strange shadows in a strange city. It was sealed into a stone Buddha sculpture by a monk through special means and placed in the containment hall of the Bonfire Company. However, due to the last invasion incident, the containment object was lost.]
[Requirement: Bring the "Level 2 Containment Ball (already placed in the 'Storage Room')" and contain all the shadows by smashing them.]
[Tip: You can only observe the existence of shadows when you are under the light. ]
[Event Reward: “Campfire Points x 300”. ]
[Note: This mission has a time limit. If the containment is not completed before the sun comes out at 6 o'clock tomorrow, the mission will be considered a failure.]
…
"Good man, it turns out the problem here has something to do with you again."
Colin couldn't help but complain in his heart .
He originally thought that it was just an unexpected incident caused by the mysterious resurrection of an ancient evil spirit, and that some cultists wanted to snatch it away, but he didn't expect there was such a hidden story behind it...
"Wait, it seems that there is actually a group of cultists behind this? So, the underground temple is just a cover-up by the cultists? Their target is actually the 'border guards' who 'happened' to pass by?"
Colin had a flash of inspiration and seemed to have guessed a lot of things.
If it wasn't a deliberate arrangement, this group of people would have been discovered by the "Book of Numerology" long ago, so their purpose was obviously to target official forces.
Wait, they weren't the ones who invaded Bonfire Company, right? Otherwise, how could they have the lost items of Bonfire Company?
Colin was horrified when he thought about it, but he quickly rejected the idea because if that was the case, this mission should not be an "F-level" trial mission, it should at least be "C-level" or above.
And now Bonfire Company has not sent reinforcements even though they know about the cultists.
That means it shouldn't be a big deal...
Everything is still within the scope of my ability.
"But why did the cultists attack the officials? They couldn't be bored, right? Why do I feel like I'm caught in a big vortex?"
Colin muttered, opened the "storage room", and took out the "Level 2 Containment Ball".
[Level 2 Containment Sphere: Capable of containing a large number of Level 2 low-threat intangible special objects. ]
The "Level 2 Containment Ball" is about the size of a fist, divided into two parts, the upper part is red, the lower part is white, there is a line in the middle, and there is a small round button on the line, with the word "Level 2" on the round button. This -
Isn't this a fucking Pokeball?
Colin stared at it and couldn't help falling into deep thought.
You don't even need to look at this unusual design to know that it is the work of a company's manufacturing employee with a bad taste.
