SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 134 - 134 134 A Little Shock from Colin_1

Chapter 134: Chapter 134 A Little Shock from Colin_1 Chapter 134: Chapter 134 A Little Shock from Colin_1 “Ah!!”

The monster’s body jolted, suddenly clutching its head and rolling on the ground, thrashing about and emitting a piercing scream.

“Ahhhhh!!!”

With each scream, its body kept swelling with fluid, resembling a swollen corpse that had bloated with river water at Giant’s Lookout, as streaks of foul and filthy black water oozed from its skin…

And the red light that covered it also faded more and more with the continuous infusion of the filthy black water.

The onlookers felt their hearts pound with alarm…

What on Earth had just happened?

All they remembered was the scene suddenly “freezing,” and by the time they came to their senses, they saw Colin “teleport,” with the Bone Spur already piercing the enemy in his hand. Then, in just a few seconds, everything seemed to be resolved…

The “freeze” they could guess was definitely the Golden Artifact in Colin’s hand, the legendary “Time Stasis.”

And that ghastly, terrifying Bone Spur filled with black cracks…

They knew almost nothing about it; they knew it was powerful, but it was only after a round of fighting that they realized, where was it just powerful?

It was freakishly stronger than they had expected!

Dammit, the monster that hadn’t even been scratched by their combined assault was brought down with just one stab—

Could it be another orange-grade equipment?

Unfortunately, Colin hadn’t disclosed, they couldn’t even begin to fathom the abilities of this artifact, let alone its name.

However, one thing was certain; Colin’s silhouette from the front had become more enigmatic in their eyes.

“That was close…”

Colin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the red light completely disappear, and the creature on the ground ceased to move.

The red light, which was unaffected by “Time Stop,” had maxed out his stress just a moment ago.

Fortunately, aside from being immune to Time Stop, no other mishaps occurred, and he saw no bloody handprints appear out of nowhere…

‘The sense of oppression this thing brings feels so familiar, yet I can’t quite place it.’

Colin had a vague sense of familiarity with it.

But he didn’t dwell on it too much, as a message appeared before Colin.

[Event Seven: Hand over one “Passionate Paradise” containment failure specimen.]

[Would you like to hand over the corpse in front of you?]

[Note: After completing this task, you will receive a related artifact after a certain period of time.]

[Warning: The creature has not died completely and will revive in a completely uncontrollable manner after some time.]

A containment failure specimen, this one, huh, this warning is quite intriguing…

Colin looked at the creature before him. After its “death,” it finally stopped swelling and became limp like a dead squid on shore, with filthy black water still flowing from its corpse.

That a thing like this could still potentially revive…

One could only say that the creatures contained in “Passionate Paradise” were indeed strange.

However, speaking of which, “Bonfire Company” still owed him a “Humility Virtue Knight” artifact.

“If things go smoothly and I manage to return, they should be able to issue it, right?”

Colin pursed his lips and, without giving it much thought, he agreed to the task’s requirement…

A familiar transparent vortex appeared before everyone’s eyes, sweeping away the mushy corpse on the ground like a puddle of sludge.

“Is this… a mission?” Dog Brother asked Colin uncertainly.

“Yeah, a mission to hand over a corpse, don’t you guys have it?”

Colin asked curiously without concealing anything.

After speaking, he saw the three shake their heads and realized it seemed only he himself had emerged…

“Uh, isn’t this a bit too much favoritism?”

Colin murmured in his heart, guessing it might be Miss Bunny’s fault.

In a certain sense, after all, it was a task they had completed together; it wasn’t quite right for him alone to reap the benefits.

However, there wasn’t much dissatisfaction on the faces of the other three, but rather a bit of self-doubt.

In general, when such a task appears, it should involve everyone…

Then, according to the internal review within Bonfire Company, which was unknown to others, everyone would receive a portion of the rewards.

The fact that only Colin received a reward meant only one thing…

During their recent action, according to the internal evaluation, the combined contribution of the three probably didn’t even reach ten percent of the whole…

Only under such circumstances would there be a situation where Colin was “eating alone.”

“I can’t believe all our hard work amounted to less than ten percent…,” Dog Brother sighed, from which he sensed how big the gap between him and Brother Shunzi really was.

Indeed, if Brother Shunzi were willing, all of their group combined probably wouldn’t stand a chance against him alone.

Even though they were all employees recently promoted to F Level, why was the gap so huge?

“It’s okay, after completing this task, we all have a bright future ahead.”

Colin clearly knew how to comfort people. He waved his hand, brushed past the subject, and with a few steps forward, he picked up the Bone Spur from the ground.

No one dared to harbor any crooked thoughts of snatching it…

After all, no one wanted to experience the “stutter” in the scene and be the next one impaled by it.

Afterward, watching the still standing shadows in the corridor, Colin turned around and reminded Dog Brother to withdraw his “Divine Skills.”

“Whew, almost forgot…”

Dog Brother took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and pulled out the dagger embedded in the palm of his left hand.

Blood immediately gushed from the wound…

But he was prepared, took out a jar, pressed it against the wound, and a milky liquid sizzled out, injected into the cut, and quickly solidified, filling up the gash on his hand…

Then, he took out a sterile bandage and began to dress the wound.

During this process, Colin saw those four-armed shadows kneeling on the ground, as if praising something—

“Praise the all-knowing, almighty Four-Armed God Emperor…”

As the words ended, those four-armed shadows vanished like dissolving blood.

“Another name of some monster or demon,”

Colin shook his head, not thinking much of it, and walked directly towards the room with a hole smashed in it, scanning inside to see the Loafing Immortal cowering and shivering in the corner.

Even though the situation had been resolved, he still made no move, as if his young mind had suffered a great trauma.

“Did he suffer some kind of spiritual attack?”

Being the most experienced employee of Bonfire Company present, Dog Brother, seen it all, immediately recognized his condition.

“It seems so.”

Colin nodded, putting the Bone Spur away in the Storage Room with his right hand, and then pulled out a monocle from his pocket. Holding it by the edges, he brought it to the socket of his left eye—

[A company employee who has been hit by some type of fear-induced psychic attack. Fortunately, his injuries are not severe, and he should be able to gradually self-recover to normal in about ten minutes.]
