Chapter 33: When Night Comes...
Three days passed, Sunday, twelve o'clock in the morning.
Colin received a message on parchment on time.
[The "Office" permission is turned on and can be used in a real-world non-task state, bringing your contracted staff into the office.] 】
[Currently, there are 3 people who have signed a contract, and you can let him enter the office at any time.] 】
"Li Ming, Lin Yilan, Tang Ken, all three guys agreed?"
Colin thought about it, and didn't call them in a hurry, but planned to enter himself first to familiarize himself with this function.
At the moment of touching the function, he was in a trance, and then came back to his senses, and he was already in an office that was almost exactly the same as Miss Rabbit.
This time, though, he sat in the back of his office, and he didn't have a mountain of company papers on his desk.
As soon as the thought moved, the desk drawer slid out on its own and closed on its own with a thud.
Everything here, it seems that he can control it as he pleases.
Colin rubbed his belly against the armrest of his chair and looked around, feeling like he was in control of the entire office.
"It's a pity, although this office is very large, but the layout is almost meaningless, too simple, I will meet three employees at a time, a little shabby, not suitable for fooling."
Colin shook his head and sighed in pity.
It would be nice if it could be brilliant and broad enough to make newcomers come in and shine directly.
However, as soon as the idea came to mind, the entire office suddenly shook.
Immediately after, all the scenes quickly blurred, and then a wisp of orange light spilled overhead, and when Colin looked up, his pupils suddenly shrank into a glow, and he saw a huge fireball hanging in the air, which continued to erupt a huge amount of flames.
Under the radiance of its firelight, the entire sky was crimson and distorted.
It is like a celestial body that pours into it, making those who look directly feel small and shocked.
The surrounding offices have also been transformed into a mysterious and solemn temple full of traces of war and rust, and the hall is decorated with a ruined gray stone table.
Outside the hall, the smoke was so thick that it was impossible to see clearly.
Colin sat at the head of the long gray stone table, and his whole body froze, he didn't expect that the whole place would change drastically if he complained casually.
The giant fireball in the dome that appeared to be at least a thousand meters in diameter spewed flames.
If this is true, the distance of less than 100 meters alone can roast him below with oil, and the aroma of burnt oil is overflowing.
After a long time, Colin withdrew his gaze from the fireball and said with emotion:
"In terms of special effects, I'd like to call it the strongest."
I don't know what Ms. Rabbit thinks, the office can get such bells and whistles, and it has to be the same as a small company cubicle office.
At this time, in Colin's mind, a mission message appeared.
[The "World Not Yet Known" mission has been changed to "World Number-13", and the series of events has been updated, please check it through the taskbar.] 】
"It's similar to when you're on a mission, the function of the parchment rolls is transferred to your head, but when you're on a mission, there's no interactive hall or anything like that, just a task and a storage room, and there's no such restriction in the office."
Colin smacked his chin, wondering what the campfire company was doing in real life was doing all this extra thing, why didn't he just click it all into his brain?
The words on the parchment scroll are also visible only to the bearer in reality.
I didn't understand, and I didn't think much about it, Colin opened the taskbar and looked at it, and there were a few new events.
[Event 1 (Priority): After returning to "World Number 13", set up a bonfire sacrifice point in the church altar by stacking and burning the corpses of the "Bonfire Church" personnel and the corpses of the followers. 】
...
[Event 2: Due to technical reasons, employees are unable to accurately descend at the campfire sacrifice point, please guide the staff to the campfire sacrifice point to mark after entering the world.] 】
...
[Event 3: Take "Token-13" to "World Number-13" to investigate all anomalous events that may be related to "hunger".] 】
...
[Event 4: Complete the containment of a three-stage "alienated individual contaminated by the breath of the ancient gods (i.e., bestiality)". 】
...
[Event 5: Survive in this world for the seventh day.] 】
..
"Bonfire Church?" Colin was stunned when he saw the name, and then, under the guidance of the mission, he immediately realized that this was the dense corpse of the church.
And it is very certain that there is a high probability that this "bonfire church" was founded by a former colleague of the company who has died.
Or are there more former colleagues in that world?
"To be able to do such a thing by founding a church in another world, that colleague feels that it is not only F-class, but at least D-class, and Miss Rabbit seems to be particularly concerned about the whereabouts of one of the containment objects he carried, and I don't know what it is."
Colin thinks the experience of a former colleague should also be quite interesting.
Somehow came to another world alone, and then gradually gained a foothold, founded a church, gradually reached the peak of life, and then ...... The head was cut off and made into a ritual weapon.
It's miserable.
After his death, his name became a former employee in the company's tasks, and even workers' compensation was waived.
Then, Colin gathered his thoughts and looked at "Incident Three".
"Investigate all anomalous events related to hunger?" Can 'bestiality' be counted? ”
"Bestiality" gives him two biggest feelings, one is that he wants to tear people apart all the time, his heart is full of tyranny, and there is a fire in his stomach.
The other is a stronger hunger, but it is weaker than the tyranny.
However, the details will not be known until tomorrow when it enters "World Number 13".
The other point is ....
What is this "token-13"?
As soon as Colin thought so, he saw a rusty badge appear on the gray stone table.
He was no stranger to this thing, one of the three items on the altar of the church, in addition to the badge in front of him, the other two were a colleague's head and an orange revolver.
Colin looked at this thing, and information related to it appeared on the retina-
'An item created by a bonfire company with special means through designated items, and when you hold it, you will continue to approach the target under indirect or direct invisible influence, and every second of your presence in the area, every breath of air, and every step you take will become a foreshadowing before you actually make contact with the subject of your investigation. ’
When Colin saw this description, his first impression was: it is another mysterious thing that has something to do with fate.
It's a bit like the red rope of the old moon in mythology.
One end is here with him, and the other end doesn't know where it is, but along the red rope, everyone will one day achieve a two-way rush.
Without much thought, he reached out and picked up the "Token-13" on the stone table to observe.
It is in the shape of an eight-pointed star.
The obverse depicts a pictorial imprint of a torch raised.
Somehow, when he saw this pattern, Colin couldn't help but make up a picture in his head.
Someone raised his right hand in the air, holding a flaming, beating heart like a torch to dispel the darkness...
Scary.
Colin shook his head and shook the image out of his head, and this time he noticed that the torch pattern was indeed composed of three important elements: "arm", "heart", and "flame".
Then, he flipped the badge in his hand.
I saw that on the back of the rusty copper badge, a line of phrases was written-
When night comes, a fire should be lit and shine in all directions. ’
