Chapter 404: A Signal from the Depths of the Starry Sky
''The ability to speak in the interactive hall is locked, they can see, but they can't speak, and it seems that they are not the only ones who have it.'
I seem to have the same problem, once I get more than a certain number of times, I feel like I'm going to die. ’
But I remember that when I first joined the company, there were no such restrictions.'
Frowning, there were some bits and pieces of information in Colin's mind, which were connected together at this moment-
When he returned to Earth after completing the first ring mission, he had just sent a lot of messages in the first two days of the company, and he did not say anything about restrictions or restrictions at that time.
This happened after the return of the second ring mission.
At that time, he saw a door, and when he entered, he arrived at Ms. Rabbit's office.
And then there were limitations.
It's just that at that time, although he felt that it was wrong, he didn't think much about it, no, more precisely, under some kind of inexplicable guidance, he has been subconsciously avoiding thinking about related things, and it is not until now that his strength has come up, and he has begun to think about some problems.
Thinking of this, Colin glanced at the trio with a confused face.
Then deep down one thing can be determined
"The reason for the restriction must be related to Ms. Rabbit."
The way these three joined the company was chosen by him on the surface, but in fact, it can be said that it was through the joining of "Lady Rabbit" herself.
If the company's recruitment is to select a specific group of people through some unknown screening, then this can be said to be a designation.
He didn't see a second person other than Ms. Rabbit being able to do this.
Originally, Colin felt that it should also be the normal way for the company to enter.
But now that I think about it, it's not necessarily possible.
If you really enter in a proper way, there are no restrictions.
Of course, just that, Colin thinks it's nothing, but there is a little more to it.
"During my contact with 'Lady Bunny', it seemed that there was an additional task to expel the invaders, and this thing, I remember, is still hanging in my taskbar"
Colin subconsciously wanted to raise his hand and pinch his forehead, but when he thought of other people, he didn't want to make extra movements.
However, in this case, if he hadn't discovered "Lady Bunny", there might have been some problems.
If there is no mysterious power to haunt you, you can simply be blind.
These three people may not have entered his company
There is a certain probability that you will enter Ms. Rabbit's branch.
"And speaking of which, I have never seen the 'Light Chaser' speak in the company, and this is also the reason?"
"She joined through the branch route, so she is also the same as the trio, you can only watch but not say?"
"It seems reasonable to think about it, and it feels like eight or nine is not far from ten."
After the smoke that covered his face, Colin pursed his lips, and his mood relaxed a little.
It's not incomprehensible that Ms. Rabbit has her own branch at that level.
Then, the reason for the restriction may be related to the docking between the main company and the branch, and there may be some minor contradictions between the two sides?
Between thoughts,
Colin had a perception in his mind of the mission known as the "Unyielding Guardian" -
Hairy blood-red font, million points, ultra-rare items, B-class.
If the rabbit girl is really related to this, then judging from the content of these rewards, maybe the relationship between the two is a little more intense than the "small contradiction" I think?
But at this moment, a feeling of palpitations surrounded the body.
"Hiss"
Colin suddenly realized that what he was thinking about now seemed a little more dangerous.
He secretly took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
"Forget it, it's a big problem, it's useless to panic, what should I do now."
Colin grunted, with his current knowledge of the company itself was still too limited, and it was difficult to get any meaningful information in this regard, and it was possible to trigger some dangerous mechanism
It's better to wait for the level to come up in the future, and you will naturally understand what you should understand.
And if it weren't for Ms. Bunny, it wouldn't be realistic for him to want to grow so fast.
In the absence of absolutely definitive evidence, it is not appropriate to make such wild guesses about the other side.
Then, reining his thoughts, Colin gave up thinking about it, looked at the trio, and asked about some more parchment.
"In addition to the restrictions of the 'Interactive Lobby', there are also special national tasks such as 'Expelling the Invaders' and 'Unyielding Defenders' missing from the taskbar."
"And then, not long ago during the 'Ghost Train Incident', all the idle people went, but they didn't"
"However, except for these small problems, there is nothing else, the internal mall, and item trading can be carried out."
Colin roughly understood the situation of his trio.
At this time, Li Ming, who had been asked for a long time, said, "Boss, is our situation abnormal?" ”
"It's normal, it's fine, it's just a few small bugs."
After Colin finished speaking, he added casually: "It should be fine after a while." ”
As for what time it is, that's fine.
"Wow, that'll do." Li Ming and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
At first, the boss of Shunzi asked and asked, and they thought something was wrong, but it turned out to be just a small bug.
At this time, Xia Liufang on the side raised her hand, and when Colin signaled to speak, she said curiously:
"By the way, our mission type, is it the kind of cute, life-or-death 'Advent Project'?"
In the past two days, she has been browsing the company's internal communication channels, and she has noticed that many former colleagues have also noticed this.
In this regard, Colin was not ambiguous and replied in the affirmative.
"Is that so" Xia Liufang nodded, but she didn't care too much.
Under the leadership of the boss, except for the first day, they didn't feel anything difficult at other times, and the situation of "World Number-13" is basically stable now.
Moreover, on the first day, she did not go for some reason.
After she finished asking, Tang Ken also spoke: "What should we do next, should we be better, buy that 'F-class compensating potion' first?" Or do you want to get some props first? ”
Hearing his words, the other two also pricked up their ears.
Regularly performing advent projects, their points are undoubtedly beyond their peers.
However, the excess is relatively limited
Either you can choose a potion, or you can only choose one or two props, and you can't have both fish and bear's paws.
"Let's buy potions first, and then talk about the rank authority, and if the props are used, I can borrow a few of you when the time comes."
Colin briefly helped plan the direction.
Then, after a brief exchange, Colin ended the temporary exchange.
Lying on the bed, looking at the familiar ceiling, Colin quickly closed his eyes and hugged the pillow and fell asleep.
Directly to the brain for venting processing.
As time passed, the time for the mission came quickly.
Sunday, January 1st, twelve o'clock at noon.
A distant and ancient bell rang in his ears on time, followed by a thick fog.
But this time, after Colin woke up, the whole person was slightly stunned
There was still an endless gray fog surging in front of him
"What's going on?"
Colin stood still in the rolling gray mist, his brow furrowed, as an old time-traveler who was often in contact with the "Advent Agreement", he could feel that he should still be in the "Agreement".
And that's when some kind of guidance comes out of the heart
"Left, at eleven o'clock"
With the guidance, Colin turned around and "walked" over there without hesitation.
Feet in the constantly wriggling fog, like falling into the snow, one step at a time.
After a while, a ray of starlight appeared from ahead.
Colin narrowed his eyes, the flames on his body lit up, and he tried to sense, but unfortunately, in this mysterious gray mist, even a campfire could not shine too far.
But sensing no danger, he took a deep breath and continued his actions.
It was almost ten minutes later
Colin saw a large door, an arched gate that stood out in the gray mist.
The main body of the gate is two gray stone pillars, and in the two gray stone pillars, there is a special transparent black curtain that is pitch black and deep
After a slight glance, Colin had a strange expression, and he noticed.
This door seems to have been made with something familiar.
"'Daughter of Starlight'?"
Colin sighed and noticed that the "Daughter of Starlight" who had been captured not long ago was rudely torn from the middle of the pitch-black robe at this moment, and then pulled and fixed on two stone pillars with dozens of nails, forming a three-meter gate.
Even so, it was still not dead, and Colin could vaguely feel that the "door" was trembling slightly.
Let out a low, inhuman groan.
It didn't matter, though, as some instinct told him that he had to go through this "door" to reach his destination.
"It's a bit crude."
Colin didn't hesitate, the flames on his body ignited, forming a layer of protection, and then walked towards the other party.
Soon, when he came to the door, he slowly stretched out his hand and penetrated into the body of the "Starlight Girl", and without noticing any danger, he took a step and walked into it
In the next moment, countless starlight swept behind him, and countless seemingly nonexistent information came from those starlight.
Many indescribable sights seemed to notice him, but could not keep up with him.
However, Colin in a state of distraction did not know all this.
When he came back to his senses, he suddenly felt light, as if he was in a floating state, he couldn't step on anything, there was no sense of direction up and down, left and right, the bright stars in front of him disappeared, and the surroundings were pitch black.
An indescribable sense of suffocation and loneliness hit.
Apparently, he had arrived alone in another unknown area.
"What the hell is this? Hey, no, I'm so uncomfortable."
Colin felt as if his body was collapsing from the inside out, as if it was about to explode.
As some initial protective force wears out, this extreme discomfort is rapidly intensifying.
However, when a burst of fire erupted.
The unspeakable pain slowly faded away.
It's just that, compared to the normal world in the past, the flame "went up" like a lit candle, and this time, it seemed to have some disorder, clinging to him, emitting in all directions
But because of this, relying on the power of the campfire, Colin also figured out where he was.
"Grass, what did I say, it turned out to be special outer space."
Colin looked left and right, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, although he had never left the atmosphere, he was not ignorant of these things, and with some basic concepts, he quickly realized the situation.
Then, look at the pitch black scene around you.
Colin skillfully threw out a bucket of grease, and the flames erupted, and then, under his will, converged slightly higher behind his head, forming a huge fireball about five meters in diameter that slowly swirled inward.
Through the glow of the fireball, Colin saw that he was in a dense belt of meteorite rubble of various sizes.
Countless boulders of various sizes flutter slowly in the darkness
"No wonder it's a single-player type of mission, which has to be replaced by other employees, if you don't prepare, it is estimated that as soon as you arrive at your destination and expose this kind of space, you will explode directly on the spot."
Grunting, Colin gave himself a buff while looking around curiously.
Although he was surprised to appear in such a place, he was not surprised.
I just don't know what I'm doing here.
At this time, as if thinking of something, Colin silently recited a sentence in his heart, "Campfire Camp Special Item Containment Company".
The fluctuating signal connection began to become much more solid.
Immediately after that, a new event began to emerge from my mind.
[Incident 1: The target area has been basically determined, please rush to the destination as soon as possible for further investigation.] 】
Seeing this task, Colin subconsciously sensed the direction through it.
Then, the corners of the face and mouth twitched.
I don't know how far away, there was a huge celestial body, and that seemed to be the goal he was going to.
But.
"What's special, this advent position is a bit big, isn't it?"
Colin couldn't help but gasp, this feeling was almost enough to circle the entire earth just by the distance!
At this moment, after comparing the previous Advent projects carried out horizontally, he realized that the deviation like "World Number-13" can already be accurately described.
Tens of kilometers and hundreds of kilometers are not a thing at all.
However, since they have come, they have come.
Colin collected his emotions and took out the "Snow Maiden" ring from the storage room, and after making sure that it was not affected by anything here, he released it and asked him to make an ice pick "battleship".
Then let the "nano intelligent machine" attach to it and bless it.
Finally, Colin incorporates the jet and makes the battleship move in the direction of the target.
Soon, he found that he was much faster than he could have imagined in this environment with almost no resistance compared to Earth.
And it's still accelerating.
If he accidentally bumps into something, even for him, it will be extremely troublesome.
But fortunately, those "dense" meteorite belts, which seem to be dense, are actually scary with large distances from each other, and some places are not a problem at all to stuff some celestial bodies.
Coupled with the blessing of various perceptions, Colin was not worried at all that he would die violently because of bumping into something.
Also, there are no anomalies or enemies in the vicinity.
The road ahead is dry and tedious.
I don't know how long later, the little maid's cat-eared head suddenly grew out of the icicle battleship.
Its beautiful face looked at Colin, and the words immediately surfaced on the latter's retina:
"Mr. Colin, I have received some unknown signal bands"
"Huh? Signal band? ”
Colin was surprised for a moment, then became curious, and responded inwardly: "Did you say what it was?" ”
"Unknown, but, it seems to be sending out a call for help" (end of this chapter)
