Campfire Shelter.

In the spacious halfway up the mountain, there is a kind of inexplicable strange silence
The huge, chaotic and bloody battlefield not far away seemed to be unable to affect this place at all, as if everything was being blocked by something.

As a result, this area seemed inexplicably quiet and incompatible with other places.

"This person's aura seems to be a bit close to the one in the eighth car on the train."

Colin's nose twitched slightly, and he stared straight at the back of the tower. Although he was not sure, he felt that there was a certain similarity between the two.

But the question is, if he was the person on the train, why did he enter this place?
The doubts in my mind rise and fall with the hot water like dumplings
But after thinking for a while to no avail, Ke Lin shook his head and stopped thinking about it, then looked away, and ignored the group of powerful, but at this moment, all of them lowered their heads, as if surrendering, facing the man's back. .

So far, Ke Lin can only see that their current state is directly related to the death of the C-level employees.

But they don't know exactly how they did it.
Because there are hardly any traces of fighting at the scene.

"It's possible that some of the 'props' he's carrying are out of control, just like the 'Ghost Witch', or it's also possible that it's caused by the source of pollution. In the end, it's also possible that he's not completely dead? "

"No matter what, you have to be careful. The strength level of C-level employees, compared with D-level employees, cannot be simply described by perception. In terms of overall strength, the gap between me and the dog downstairs is bigger."

"But it's all here, I've already confirmed that the recovered object is on him, and I can't back down at the last step."

Taking a deep breath, Colin added flames to his body, spread his legs, and walked over cautiously.

In this field, there are strange swirl crystals all over the place.
They radiate a weak and twisted luster, constantly twisting the surroundings, but with the protection of the flames, Colin is not particularly worried that these things will corrode him.

He padded his way through the wax figure-like crowd, approaching the pink plastic seat at a slightly slower than usual walking speed.

As he got closer to the goal and saw no crisis, Colin couldn't help but relax.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A faint humming sound came from one side.
In an instant, Colin's body froze slightly, and fire surged from his body. While preparing for battle, his eyes followed the sound.

I saw a follower of "Red Moon" emitting a rich red light, his face with his eyes closed suddenly became ferocious and distorted, and then strange vortex pits appeared on his body surface.

His body was trembling constantly, and under the eyelids, the eyeballs kept turning, as if eager to open them and wake up from some kind of predicament.

However.
A few seconds later, Colin saw that this person was swallowed by the vortices that appeared on his body.

He didn't wake up until he died, and didn't even leave any residue behind.
"Hiss, an individual with 'divine nature', is it just gone?"

Colin was secretly shocked. Before he came up, he was worried that these people would destroy his mission goal, but now he realized that he was a little too worried.
The situation here is not necessarily any better than the chaotic battlefield below.

It can even be said to be even weirder.

Because until now, Colin still didn't understand what was going on with this group of people.

It is obviously such a weird place, but the passive sense of crisis of "fatal insight" has not been triggered at all.
"No, don't think too much, the answer is just ahead, if you think too much on the way, you will only scare yourself."

Shaking his head, taking a deep breath, suppressing the panic in his heart, Ke Lin silently strengthened his body protection before moving on.

After 2 minutes, he was somewhat relieved that, apart from seeing a few inexplicable and violent enemies along the way, it can be said that there was no danger, and he successfully arrived at the pink seat.

And the man in the seat, like a thinker, lowered his head, overlooking the battlefield on the cliff in front.

Ke Lin couldn't help following the other party's perspective, looking at the war under the cliff.

Amidst the soaring blood, the chaos of all kinds of monsters and goblins continued.

With just a quick glance, you can roughly see the forces of the three parties. The employees of the campfire company rely on various props and items to block the position at the foot of the mountain to prevent the coalition forces of various races, and they are mad at each other.

Under such intense fighting, even the employees of the company suffered considerable deaths.

Just like the followers of "Red Moon", after the employees die, they will be reborn near the teleportation points such as "Son of Pervert", "Small Vegetable Chicken No. 7", and "Fore Mushroom" within a certain period of time.

Located on the mountainside, Colin could vaguely hear shouts and curses from the chaos below.

"Grass, which dog thing threw out the uncontrolled abnormality, I was killed by you."

"Damn it, the sun never sets, GAI guy, I'll see how you recycle it later"

"Is it possible? They don't care about throwing it here, and they don't plan to recycle it at all. I highly doubt that these bastards came here just to throw the anomaly here."

"Everyone, come and break out with us, I'm going to release a high-level out-of-control containment object, I can't hold it anymore!"

"Fuck, it's harmful, quickly put this person B out of the barrel"

"."

"It's quite lively. It seems that it can last for a while, but now I don't see any punishment after death,"

Ke Lin moved his eyes and glanced at the "Red Moon" followers. Most of the strong people in this group are now standing on the mountainside, causing the battlefield below to have quantity but not quality.

As a result, a very strange situation appeared on the battlefield.
Whether it is the employees of the campfire company or the allied forces of heretics and alien races, they are all killing indiscriminately. Only the followers of "Red Moon" are being killed indiscriminately.
However, looking at those "Red Moon" followers who are not afraid of death.
Sensing some inexplicable "activity" on the battlefield that seems to be getting stronger with the death of "Red Moon" followers, Colin always feels that they are playing a big game of chess.
"call out!"

Suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air.

In the sky, a group of strange eyeballs with only wings were attacking towards the place where the car lost control halfway up the mountain.

Colin narrowed his eyes, pulled out the bone spur, and prepared to do it.

But before the real action, all the eyeballs with wings seemed to touch some of the vortex floating light here, and then melted one after another, fell into the sky, and were smashed into pieces by the battlefield below.
"I didn't expect it to be a no-fly zone."

Shaking his head, Colin didn't think much about it. He looked away from the battlefield below, and then took a few steps forward to a position about three meters in front of the pink seat side of the food stall.

Then, he looked at the person sitting on the edge of the cliff——

A tough guy.

This was Colin's first feeling when he saw the face of the other party.

Unlike the expected mummy, the person in front of him didn't rot too much. Instead, because his body was thirsty, his skin clinged to the muscles that hadn't shrunk and rotted too much, making it tougher.

However, on its body, there are also many vortex and Hanamaki-like crystals, exuding traces of distorted space.

"The muscles don't feel human, have they been specially modified?"

While thinking about it, Colin glanced at a broken sword covered with spars next to the opponent's seat, and then moved his eyes to the opponent's chest. Under the opponent's faded and open brown coat, the ribs of his upper body were naked. a breach.

From the breach, one could see something inside that was emitting a scorching red light.
a heart.

"The target of this recovery seems to be this heart. In other words, this is the 'Fire Bearer'?"

Relying on task induction, Colin made sure of one point.

Then, he licked his lips and couldn't help muttering: Why are the missions related to "Fire Bearer" all about recovering various organs and the like?

He travels through various worlds, overcomes all difficulties, and saves the world just like the savior. He travels through various places just to recover various body tissues.

This made Colin feel like an organ smuggler.
They were either recovering skulls, hands, and now hearts. It was a serious containment mission, but not many of them were seen.

"Speaking of which, when we were at the beach, the female 'Fire Bearer' who left a domineering message also had a heart left behind, but at that time, the company didn't seem to have any intention of recycling it? Is it because the heart still had the mission of suppressing evil spirits? "

After thinking about it, Ke Lin glanced at the man on the seat again, and said "offended" silently in his heart. He kept his respect for the old man on his face, and carefully stepped forward to reach out his hand to the gap between the ribs in the man's chest.

When he started, he was ready to take out the heart and face the situation when nearly 50 "divine" strong men around him woke up.

After all, his taking the heart would undoubtedly spoil the scene.

Without the power of the "Fire Bearers" to suppress, everyone will wake up with a high probability.
Even the horrible source of pollution that has a very low sense of existence today will reappear.

However, at this moment, Colin's heart skipped a beat.
I felt that my half-stretched hand seemed to be grabbed by something——

A gray-skinned hand!
follow this hand back
Colin saw that the man who was supposed to be dead on the seat actually moved!
In an instant, Ke Lin's pupils shrank like needles, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that the other's palm was like iron tongs.

"Didn't anyone tell you not to disturb the rest of the dead at will?"

Indifferent words came out of the man's mouth.

Under Ke Lin's horrified gaze, the C-level employee slowly raised his head. On a face that was half-swallowed by a vortex, there was only one eye left. The eyelid slowly opened, revealing a silent and rational black eye. .

Immediately, the frightened Colin's body burst into flames and he rushed towards the man in front of him.

"Pfft."

In the beating of the heart like a war drum.

A deeper flame also erupted from the man in front of him.

The two clusters of flames rushed together along the touching hands, and an extremely violent collision occurred.

'Hiss, is this a serious 'Firebearer' flame?The purity is so high, if it weren't for the oil, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to stop it at all'

Colin was shocked again.

Then, he reacted quickly, planning to use "Time Stasis" to give this old thing a shot with bone spurs.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt that the other party's hand like steel let go.

follow closely
The other party, including a person and a chair, appeared a few meters away like a flash.

Ke Lin had a hunch that even if he stopped using it, there was a high probability that his reaction would not be as fast as the opponent's, and he couldn't stop him.
"Ah, this is a method like 'fatal insight', predicting the end? However, does this also mean that the equipment in my hand is still a threat to him?"

Colin's thoughts flashed, and he also made preparations for fighting.

However, the man with C-level authority sitting not far away was not in a hurry to make a move, but stretched out his right hand first, raised it to his face, reached into the vortex that swallowed half of his face, and pulled hard.
The face that was originally swallowed into it was pulled back by him.

Apart from looking a little out of symmetry, it is no different from ordinary people.

"It's still like this?" Colin was stunned,

But at this moment, he saw a red flame burning in each of the man's eyes.

"A non-C-level reserve soldier who carries the 'Fire Bearer' substance? Well, there is also the breath of a 0-level sealed item, and some familiar but unknown people's fortune-telling threads. I haven't seen anything like it. Complicated people like you."

While looking at him, the man spoke in a calm and indifferent tone.

'Is this seeing through me?But, how does this feel a bit wrong? '

Colin frowned. He could feel the deep madness and chaos from this guy. The level of intensity was not as high as that of all the D-levels on the train combined.

But the other party is neither crazy nor chaotic, and behaves very rationally.
This feeling is very conflicting.

However, since it seems to be able to communicate, why not try to solve the crisis through dialogue?

Thinking of this, Ke Lin said, "What happened here? What is the source of this pollution?"

"The source of pollution? It's under my feet." There was no emotion in the tone of the man with C-level authority.

"Under your feet?"

Ke Lin was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized that what the other party was talking about was this entire thousand-meter-high mountain!
This is not a fucking mountain, this is the abnormal body!

Just when Colin's breathing was a little stagnant, the man in the seat in front looked down at the ground indifferently, then raised his eyes again, looked at Colin, and said:

"It is the source of this incident. It attacked the transfer station and ambushed us. I should have discovered the problem earlier. However, because the last incident damaged my body more, and because I was separated from the incident, I also relaxed.
"That led to the tragedy where we were dragged into areas that were not sheltered by campfires and attacked.
"Although with the power of 'Chuhuo', I forcibly improved myself and suppressed this incident, but unfortunately, everyone including me can't go back, and can only wander in the dark back of the universe
"Finally, under the arrangement of a certain high-level recruit.
"I'm sitting on the corpse of the so-called 'God', waiting for this matter to end."

The man's tone was unusually indifferent, without any emotion, as if he was simply telling him what had happened.

"Someone?" Colin discovered the hidden information in the words.

"I know who it is, but I can't tell you, so there's no need to pursue it further." The man's words were filled with a kind of "reason" with a sense of madness.

Hearing this, Colin nodded and wanted to ask other questions, such as who was that on the train.

But the man spoke first: "Before you are not a C-rank, contact with the power of the 'Fire Bearer' and become a reserve. This kind of thing is generally forbidden, because, before that, you have no ability to hide yourself, and there will be countless Things will find a way to prevent you from being successful.
"Even if I reach C-level, I may not be able to protect myself well. In a sense, this attack has something to do with my upcoming 'Fire Bearer'.
"'Fire Bearers' is one of the strongest forces for mankind to face disasters, and it is the pillar of the human spirit, but there is no non-human thing that would like to see more 'Fire Bearers' appear.
"So, I don't know who arranged your situation, and why you took such a big risk, but I can feel that that person has a high level of authority.
"Also, the company I feel from you now gives me a very strange feeling."

Speaking of this, the man paused, then suddenly changed the subject:
"But these are all indifferent things. Are you here to put the finishing touches on this incident?"

"Yes." Colin nodded.

"Although this is just a dream before it died, if you die at this position in the mountain range, you will also have an accident. Finally, let me confirm again. Are you the one who ended this incident?"

The indifferent voice spoke again, and seeing Colin nodding again, he closed his eyes while saying the last sentence.

"Then you have to be careful. It's fused with 'me' and is about to wake up."

"It's waking up? What do you mean?"

Colin asked quickly, but at this moment, he found that the other party had completely closed his eyes.

And, in the next second, a distorted aura and glare erupted from the opponent's body. The face of the originally indifferent and rational man showed an expression of extreme pain, and the flame in his chest seemed to be crystallized layer by layer. cover.
"Ahhh. I'm so uncomfortable. Someone. Help me."

"I'm sorry I couldn't bring you back smoothly."

"Why is this night so long"

"How long. How long will it take to wake up"

Full of self-blame, pain and chaotic ravings rang in my ears over and over again.
At this moment, the man on the food stall seat also stood up slowly from the chair, his face was dull and distorted, turning into a palpitating vortex of confusion.

In the vortex, many figures can be vaguely seen
At this moment, Colin felt that this was the person he met on the train!
But without waiting to think about it, Colin noticed that there seemed to be eyes looking at him in the vortex on that face.

"Ah, who are you? We seem to have seen each other before?"

Amidst the weird murmurs, Colin suddenly felt a terrifying sense of crisis. (end of this chapter)
