Chapter 313: Chapter 311 “0-9 ‘Hunger’ “Limited Time Experience Card!_1 Chapter 313: Chapter 311 “0-9 ‘Hunger’ “Limited Time Experience Card!_1 “Hiss, two ‘Hungers’…”

Colin clutched his stomach, bending slightly, suppressing the intense hunger within. He could feel that both aspects of the “Hunger” were now harboring massive cravings to devour each other.

And that severed left hand in his eyes had turned into a roasted pig trotter, oozing with fragrance and dripping with oil…

From the trotter, continuous whispers emitted: “Eat, eat, eat!”

More eerily, Colin could sense that this “roasted pig trotter” also had a strong desire to eat, yearning to consume him.

Damn it, the roasted pig trotter actually wanted to eat a person!

“No, no, no… I can’t eat! This is a hand! A human hand!”

Colin shook his head vigorously, and when he looked ahead again, that “roasted pig trotter” had transformed back into a severed human hand.

Rational instincts once again brought back a semblance of clarity…

Unfortunately, it would have been better if it were just the hunger in his belly, but having that “roasted pig trotter” there too, the mutual reflection of the two hungers was unstoppable in its revival!

The left hand, ever more appealing in scent and look, once again took on the appearance of a roasted pig trotter…

“Gurgle gurgle gurgle…”

The rumbling sounds from his intestines grew louder.

“Eat, eat, eat…”

The eerie whispers lingered by Colin’s ear while saliva secreted wildly from his mouth, his will gradually controlled by the primal urge.

“This is trouble…”

Colin felt a headache coming on, as the intense feeling of hunger once again began to erode his reason.

“There’s no such thing as a human hand, that’s clearly just a roasted pig trotter you love to eat, it’s even taunting you, let your guard down, it’s just a pig trotter after all, you haven’t eaten for so long, you must be very hungry…”

“You haven’t done anything wrong, you’re just hungry and want to eat, that’s all…”

“Eating doesn’t go against any of your conscience, the Gluttonous Buddha once said…”

Murmuring whispers emanated from within him, continuously enticing Colin to devour what was before him.

In the course of this process, Colin’s eyes uncontrollably shifted into the vertical pupils characteristic of Beast Transformation Syndrome, his body hair coarsened and lengthened, turning blood red as he began to undergo a conspicuous transformation…

And the Bonfire that had been draped over him flickered, dimming and brightening like a candle in the wind, threatening to snuff out at any moment.

“Crack…”

The crisp sound of a bone breaking echoed, followed by a surge of excruciating pain from his fingers. Colin shook his head and glanced down at his right hand to see one of his fingers broken by his own doing.

“No, this feeling is all wrong. I have a strong premonition that if this continues, using ‘0-9′ Hunger’ I’ll definitely lose complete control. Was the mission serious about me using the power of Hunger here?”

Colin was somewhat skeptical, but the stamp in the mission indeed indicated it was from Lady Bunny.

But without allowing him further thought, the inexplicable sensation of “Hunger” struck once more.

“I can’t stay here, I’ll really go mad if I do, the two halves of ‘Hunger’ bickering here, I simply can’t control it…”

He took a deep breath, planning to leave this place, but just then, he suddenly saw the “roasted pig trotter” in the furnace before him stand upright, no longer emitting tempting chewing sounds.

This gave Colin some relief.

“‘Simulated Space’ test, lasted 19 seconds, exceeding the standard by 1 second, assessed as satisfactory, barely qualifies as a pillar of strength… oh no, an appropriate vessel.”

An unseen voice echoed in his ear, seemingly evaluating the circumstances here.

Next, Colin saw the “roasted pig trotter” float up, its thumb and middle finger came together in a flick, producing a sharp snap of the fingers.

A burst of flame suddenly exploded into being.

In that instant, the intense feeling of “Hunger” inside Colin vanished without a trace.

And the left hand before him fell back into the Holy Fire furnace, looking exactly as it had when he first arrived, without any change.

Everything seemed like a fleeting moment of cold sweat-inducing distraction.

Or perhaps it was a non-existent illusion.

However, after this moment of “distraction,” Colin suddenly realized that the “hunger” within him was as quiet as if it had died…

Before this, he had always felt a presence slumbering inside him, but now, that “slumber” had almost entirely disappeared.

Colin had a premonition that even if he used the power of “hunger,” it would not trigger any backlash.

“What’s been done? A snap of the fingers and everything’s resolved?”

Looking at the hand in the furnace, Colin couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

In his mind, it was as if he had amnesia, unable to recall the sound just now, only vaguely remembering that what he had just experienced seemed to be merely a minor test?

Shaking his head, without thinking too much, Colin continued to look at the hand in the furnace ahead.

“This hand…”

Although he wasn’t certain, he felt there was a good chance that this was the left hand left behind by Rosen…

At that moment, he saw the left hand’s middle finger raise, and a mouth appeared on the fingertip.

“You’ve got to be kidding, not again?”

Seeing this scene, Colin’s breathing hitched, but then he saw the mouth on the fingertip open wide and, with a “wow,” spit out a rolled-up piece of parchment.

Before he could pick up the parchment to examine it, he saw the mouth on the palm transform into a wisp of blue energy that flew towards him.

Almost before he could react, the blue mist had merged into his body.

Then, his mind was filled with many experiences of using “hunger,” experiences that were not in words, but rather existed in a way that seemed almost instinctual…

And at the same time, he also understood some things.

“There isn’t any part of ‘0-9 ‘hunger” in this hand, only some essence remained, specially left in the hand and merged with certain characteristics of it—in a sense, apart from not having gone through the evaluation phase by the assessment department, this hand could be considered a ‘prop’ of the Bonfire Company.”

Sorting through these thoughts, Colin couldn’t help but fall silent, thinking to himself that it was just like a Firebearer to ruthlessly turn himself into a prop without a moment’s hesitation.

Afterwards, he looked at the parchment that had been rolled up and spat out, guessing it contained some key information about this place.

Colin took a few steps forward to pick it up but before he could unfold it, he heard some noises coming from outside.

After a moment of thought, he tucked the item away into the Storage Room.

“Let’s deal with the situation outside first.”

Colin pursed his lips, then suddenly remembered something and began to speak, “Given the special circumstances of ‘World Code-4’, I, as the employee ‘Unnamed123456’, hereby request the intervention of the ‘Bonfire Protocol’…”

As he spoke, clumps of flame danced before his eyes, each flicker of light seeming to represent a letter.

Then, these flames were sucked into an invisible transparent vortex and vanished.

And then… there was no more after that.

The request had definitely been sent, but it was hard to say if there would be any follow-up.

But it wasn’t a big issue…

Colin felt the dormant power inside him and couldn’t help but smile slightly: “I have already obtained the ‘0-9 ‘hunger” limited-time experience card!”

Although this power was incomplete, it was enough to solve all the current predicaments!

With that, he strode towards the exit, ready to take care of the trouble here.

But before he could leave, a tremulous whiff of energy from the “Yukionna” suddenly emerged from within him.
