Chapter 487: Another "Former Company Employee"?
"The general content of the 'Eternal Night' ritual is to pray to a stone monument that symbolizes the night within the confines of the train, and then pour a large amount of hunted aberrant blood for sacrifice."
"When the atmosphere is about the same, let a third of the people who are selected enter it."
"In it, the call for 'nightfall' usually lasts between three and seven days, depending on how many 'extraordinary' appear and how many deaths come"
"That's how to gain power"
Colin licked his lips, feeling that the ritual was also simple and crude.
Interestingly, before entering, these one-third candidates will implant some gold in their bodies to carry the power of the night in the mysterious realm, so that even if the extraordinary ones die in the future, they can inherit the power by recovering the gold in their bodies, the only difference is that it is not as good as the original, and there is no possibility of improvement-
In Colin's view, it's a bit like putting a battery on your body.
'The fact that gold can shine in the realm of mystical materials, and that it can be used in these places, is honestly quite amazing and incomprehensible.'
Colin continued to look at the ritual of the "Eternal Night", and occasionally spoke, asking Akahi and the others present for some details.
According to tradition, the "Nightfall Sect" is basically thunderous and wants to start the ritual of the "Eternal Night" tomorrow.
Because from tomorrow there will be a period of time when the sky will be cloudless
That's when the ritual is at its best.
Of course, these people can't choose to push back, but this push may be a bit boundless.
Because the next "cloudless day", no one knows when it will come.
Queen Ekah, who was sitting next to Colin, said: "If you are lucky, you may see it in a month, but if you are unlucky, it may take a year and a half, and the more time passes, the more tense the pressure of food and something."
"After all, everyone has just survived from periodic natural disasters, and there are not many stocks of all kinds.
"If you keep up, the people's complaints will be very high, and the people's mentality will be impetuous, which will be even more unfavorable to the ceremony."
"That's right."
Colin nodded, he didn't expect that the "believers" here could still complain.
If some other heretical churches were to be put in order, and the name of "Lord" was given, the crazy believers would probably be able to endure until the day they starved to death.
Over here
It's quite free in terms of thinking.
"Then we'll start the morning after tomorrow."
After briefly finalizing the time, Colin looked at Queen Akahi again, and at this moment, the other party's body was roughly repaired.
After taking off the black robe, his appearance is also very outstanding, with long smooth black hair, dark eyes, and three-dimensional and soft facial features.
"By the way, can you now imagine what you're going to do then?" Colin asked.
The sabotage ceremony and the liberation train, at present, after he joined, there is a lot of chance, but the method of making millions of people obedient at once has not been found, and he is a little uneasy.
Hearing this, Akahi tilted his head, thought for a few seconds, and finally shook his head: "I'm sorry, I just have a feeling that I know what to do when the time comes, and I can't say how to do it." ”
"Okay."
Colin pursed his lips, hoping that there would be no leaks when the time came.
Otherwise, even if the ceremony is destroyed and the train is liberated, I am afraid that he will not be able to get away easily, after all, with the rules and regulations of the "bonfire company", even if his conscience is really eaten, he chooses to ignore them, and he can't drive away.
Once in this mess, Colin was emaciated just thinking about it.
Either way, though, the task still has to be done.
After praying again and hoping that the old lady chosen by "Ms. Rabbit" would be reliable, the next round of discussion began.
Handover some mission details, such as who will break the "Eternal Night" ritual, who will break the train shackles, etc.
Colin prefers to stop the ritual himself, and then the others, including the two D-Classes who came with him, all of them will destroy some of the "thorn restraints" on the train.
After all, the ceremony will definitely be the most attended by that time.
Plus there is the power of "night" coming
If you give it to these crooked melons and cracked dates, I'm afraid you won't have to think about leaving this world in this life.
After all the discussions were over, the sky gradually darkened and the communication stopped.
"The sense of crisis has increased a bit, but there are no anomalies beyond comprehension, which is okay."
Colin glanced outside the carriage, and some worlds would be enveloped in some inexplicable sense of darkness and oppression at night, such as "Numbered World-13".
He had tried to understand, but there was no definite answer.
Shanna couldn't say why, and the "King of the Sounds" told him that some special containment mechanism was working.
However, it is estimated that only B-level clearance will know.
Then, in order to convince him, the "King of Wild Sounds" said something quite reasonable - since a mechanic is currently working properly and there are no major flaws, there is no need to explore it excessively.
Otherwise, it would be bad if something happened just by looking at it.
Luckily, there's no such bald stuff here.
At this time, Ekahi beckoned, "Eat something first, shall you?" ”
"Eat."
Colin declined the invitation to use food from other worlds, but he was quite curious about what kind of food could be grown in this kind of ghost place, because when he came, he felt that the fields planted by people in this world seemed to be a little strange and indescribable.
So he went to the nearby fields and looked at them.
It's just that I just came over, and I heard a sound coming from the farmland.
"No, it's not a sound, it's a sound transformed into some strange mental fluctuation? What's going on? ”
Colin looked at the crops, and could faintly hear some shouts in his ears.
"I want to drink water, I want to drink water, I want to drink water."
"Add some soil to my roots"
"Quick, quick, my fruit is ripe! If you don't pick it, you'll miss the best time to eat it! ”
"I want nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, I want nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium!"
"The seeds next door are robbing me of water, and I'm dying of thirst."
“.”
Strange mental fluctuations came from all over the fields like the voice of bullfrogs, and some figures wandered among them, planting according to the "sounds" of these plants.
"Hey, what the hell is this monster farmland"
Colin opened his mouth and listened to the sound of the farmland, his eyes were a little dazed.
"Mommy. It's a bit of a drop in mental value, can you really eat these things? The orange cat couldn't help but take a breath, feeling that this field was not growing food, but a bunch of demons and monsters.
"Isn't this just a normal plant?"
Akahi said in bewilderment, and at the same time stretched out his white hand, plucked a fruit that had just ripen and looked like some kind of Solanaceae, and put it in the basket he carried casually.
'I'm afraid you're the only one who thinks it's normal, right?' ’
Colin didn't reply, just silently brightened the flames on his body, and then glanced at the plants.
Generally speaking, they are all familiar types of plants
Some of them are like rice or wheat, and some are fruit trees like apples.
And there's a little bit of that. They are unusually productive.
For example, Colin saw a tree about three meters high, about the size of a banana tree, but it was suspected to be a rice plant, with dozens of bunches of spikes hanging on it, each of which was very large, and he felt that this one tree alone could get a harvest of at least 100 catties or more.
And when Colin arrived, the fire on his body seemed to attract these crops.
"Take care of me, take care of me, I'll give you black pearl grapes to eat"
"Shine on me! Yes! Give me an irradiation, I can"
"Come to me, I'll give you a sweet and big chicken flavor super big mango."
"Ah, it's hot."
"Mmmmmmmm
All sorts of mental fluctuations that make people lose their sanity are coming.
"Hiss"
Colin suddenly felt a little scared, and wanted to burn all the crops in one fell swoop, and paused as he walked along with Akahi.
"Looks like they like you very much!" Queen Ekahi turned her head and smiled.
I'd rather they don't like it, it's so abstract.
Colin muttered in his heart, and said quietly on the surface:
"Where did you get all these plants?"
"In the 'company', you can also keep your own seeds, but if you keep your own seeds and plant them for a few generations, they will not be normal, and your voice will become smaller and smaller, and you won't be able to speak in the end, so we won't know what to water, and it will affect the harvest."
It's normal to not be able to speak!
Colin and the other two employees said almost simultaneously in their hearts.
The things sold in the "branch" mall are a little different from each one, Shanna's side has some black bread water or something, and here it is crop seeds. ’
Colin thought to himself.
Most of the content of the branch here is related to strange talking seeds, and each of them has a huge harvest, and the planting time is extremely short, and it can be planted several times repeatedly.
Even in this world environment, the first fruits can be obtained in more than a month at the earliest and no more than six months at the slower.
Listening to Ekazhy's explanation, Colin began to feel a little excited, and wanted to change some "seeds" to go back to research.
But unfortunately, I am worried about what "virus" these seeds carry on them.
After all, talking crops are still quite weird.
But that's when a line of information popped out of my head.
[Event 1: Collect three seeds of each type of plant seeds encountered in this mission.] 】
"Requirements": Make a trade with Ms. Acahi and hand over 9,000 points.
"Note": When you return, you will receive a batch of seeds and return the corresponding points.
"Okay, it seems that 'Lady Rabbit' also wants this batch of seeds, but I don't know whether to lose or make money when I buy this batch of crops with 9,000 points."
"Well, it's not me spending money anyway, the points will be returned, just help with the purchase"
"I can earn what I have."
Colin grunted, and made a deal with Ekah.
The other party was stunned for a moment, but still accepted the transaction, and then couldn't help but say, in fact, more than a thousand seeds, all bought three times, at most, you can get about three thousand points, which is several times more than that.
"It doesn't matter, it's not a big problem."
Colin waved his hand, indicating that as long as the points could solve the problem, it would not matter.
After a brief transaction, the harvest continued, but as they began their dinner, Colin left the territory alone after giving the two D-class employees some life-saving tactics and telling them "don't move around here".
Because some new tasks have popped up.
[Event 2: Travel to an area of the "World of Data Loss", where a broadcast from a former company employee whose identity is suspected to be sending a signal outward. 】
Notes: Completed before dawn.
"Former company employee? Lawson? No, his message has been made clear that this time it should indeed be an unknown employee. ”
Colin's thoughts flashed, and he was a little curious, who this "former employee" would be this time, dead or alive.
Then, gathering his thoughts, Colin began to concentrate on his journey.
Although the danger in most places in this distorted world is not high, it should not be taken lightly, otherwise it will be a great fun to really overturn here, become another "former employee of the company", and then send a distress signal and wait for others to come.
In the barren darkness, Colin harnessed the light of the fire and kept moving through.
Along the way, a number of anomalous aberrations struck.
However, most of them didn't pose much of a threat to him, just felt a little troublesome.
"That's a lot of them."
Colin turned into a sword and threw out a sword aura, giving a distortion that constantly emitted thunder and lightning and chased him all the way to the second, and then couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Maybe once you get to the place where the former employee sent the signal, you'll be able to figure out some of the reasons.
That's about four to five hours.
Colin came to a deep area that the employees of the "branch" had never reached, which was full of mountain peaks, and in the middle of one of the mountains, he saw a magnificent mountain gate.
"Is this hollowing out a mountain?"
Curious, Colin landed here.
Two aberrants fused with flesh and stone stepped forward with spear-like weapons.
"Leave! This is. The Gate of the Sanctuary! Mortal. Don't"
"Can you talk? Is it possible to communicate? Hello."
Colin snorted, looked at it for a while, tried to talk to no avail, then shook his head in disappointment, and then was not polite, stretched out his hand, clenched his fist, and punched two punches, one punch burst one.
With a little preparation, get all the gear active.
So he came to the door, and when he lifted his foot, he kicked it hard.
With a rumbling sound, the door was pushed open a little bit, and Collin's feet increased, leaned forward, and pressed hard, pushing the door open further.
That is, the moment the door is pushed open
I didn't have time to see what was inside, and countless waves of distortions in a unique style of clothing poured out.
Colin reached out and grabbed it, and the flames in his hand turned into a ball, and it was thrown like a bowling ball.
The flame expands as it rolls forward after it is released.
All the deformations that had been crushed by the flames melted into a cloud of blood mist that evaporated and dissipated.
"Huh? No char to carbon? There seems to be something in there. ”
Colin raised his eyebrows, then put his hands in his pockets, opened his legs, and walked into it step by step.
It looks like a sect inside. Places such as religions and palaces are not dim, because there are a large number of bizarre gems that emit an orange-red glow to illuminate the interior.
In addition to being full of dilapidated and gloomy feelings, the building is still quite well preserved
Following the increasingly vague direction of the mission, Colin delved deeper into the ruin as he obliterated the aberrations around him.
"It feels like there's no breath of a living person, so you sent it too?"
Colin wasn't surprised.
But in comparison, this place of death is more than a little better than Brother Rosen's little broken church.
I just don't know what death looks like
After another ten minutes of wandering, Colin made his way into a hall.
He noticed that the blood mist that the deviants here turned into after death seemed to drift in a certain direction
Following in this direction, he came to an extremely spacious hall.
In the center of this, there is a pyramid-like platform.
Looking up slightly, I looked over the steps and saw things on the high platform.
Colin raised his eyebrows and blurted out a word:
“6。”
