SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 325 - 325 323 The Companys First Strange Tale Stupid

Chapter 325: Chapter 323 The Company’s First Strange Tale: “Stupid Robot”!_1 Chapter 325: Chapter 323 The Company’s First Strange Tale: “Stupid Robot”!_1 “Actually went and tried to make contact with the company’s number one taboo, ‘the unnamed stupid robot’?”

To be honest, Colin couldn’t quite understand it, but he was greatly shaken.

From the feedback provided by Old Wu, it was evident that during his “sleep,” some attempts had been made to uncover what it actually was.

However, the outcome was that the employee who released the address disappeared on the spot, but that wasn’t all: one of the two Level Seven Personnel protecting him died on the spot, and the other disappeared, and an Eighth Level Personnel went mad on the spot.

In addition, a whole bunch of related experimental personnel died violently or disappeared on the spot…

Besides the new employee, none could be considered to have made direct contact; they were only trying to provide aid during the experiment.

The most crucial point was that, despite such massive casualties, they had almost nothing to show for it.

They didn’t even have a clear understanding of how their own people had died…

The exceedingly serious consequences of this incident almost shocked the entire supernatural circle of the world.

“Didn’t I say during our previous conversation that there are some company taboos that must never be touched? Why so stubborn?”

Colin furrowed his brow—he had mentioned it before, but he didn’t expect that the officials would actually dare to probe further.

The only consolation was that this was a research initiative launched by other forces within the “Global Supernatural Alliance,” and apart from a Level Seven Personnel who perished on the spot, everyone else was from abroad.

The catastrophic results were distributed, making the impact on any one region not too severe.

As for these outcomes, Colin wasn’t surprised at all; while the robots in the chat channel might seem silly, anyone who truly dared to touch the forbidden would definitely have no good end…

Things that the company cannot resolve, other forces should not even seek to understand.

Keep in mind, even “Lady Bunny” was exceedingly wary of that thing back then.

‘Stubborn, these people died, let’s just hope they don’t bring forth something else.’

Colin silently prayed, then after a thought, responded to Old Master Wu, “I’m not clear on this matter, but I surmise that it most likely involves a ‘Level 0’ Containment Subject as defined by the company…”

“Now that the situation is stable, the best course of action for you would be to forbid related research to avoid really summoning something.”

During “World Code-13,” even the source of the “Beast Transformation Syndrome” at its worst could match a Level 1 Containment Subject; yet, it had barely shown itself for long before being devoured by “Hunger.”

Though Colin had made a slight contribution at the time, keep in mind that back then, that “0-9 ‘Hunger'” was in an extremely fragmented state, with only a couple of percent intact…

From this one could glimpse just how terrifying a creature of this level could be.

Although the company and official definitions of a disaster might differ, comparing them both, Colin believed Old Master Wu would understand the horror of this thing.

Beyond that, he also reminded him of some other matters.

“Robots that don’t change their names in the group,” “Out-of-Control Copies,” and several high-level officials who disappeared without a trace, along with the elusive Manufacturing and Evaluation Departments, the War Department, as well as the mysterious protocols endowed with special powers, and so on…

These things are best left unstudied—truly untouchable entities.

“Speaking of which, officials once sent a team to track down the Red Moon Cultists, eventually entering ‘Script City.’ This kind of matter also should not be delved into deeply…”

Colin recalled this matter and immediately issued a stern warning—

If they kept probing and “Script City” merged with reality, bringing countless sealed “scripted realities” into existence, it would definitely be a world-ending disaster.

Not to mention anything else, just take the “NPCs”; if they still retained a human form that was fine, but once they lost their humanity, then any named entity, each at the very least, would be a terrifying creature as strong as or stronger than a “Level 6” Personnel, created through modification.

And this was just the case in the low-level Script City, “Passionate Paradise.”

Somehow, even higher-level “Terror Zones” were unthinkable, leaving one to dread what might be confined within…

However, after the message was broadcast, Colin realized something—it was practically an admission that he had entered “Passionate Paradise,” and there were only a few people who had recently entered that Copy…

But before he could retract the message, he saw Old Master Wu had sent information.

“Well, thank you for the reminder. We have already forbidden further attempts in that regard, and we apologize for our rash trial…”

Your reply is timely…, Colin thought, his lips pursing as he was at a loss for words.

At that moment, Old Master Wu continued to send messages:

“The first batch of containment subject names has been confirmed, about fifty of them. We will transfer them to Base No. 5 by December 15, according to the methods you mentioned.”

“No problem,” Colin responded.

“Next, there are two other things, both concerning you. First, soon, a group of people is likely to seek you out. They are from a different faction, under the guise of task exchange. I can’t really stop them…”

“It’s not a big deal,” Colin was about to say, but then he saw the next message from Old Master Wu.

“One thing, though, these people have some temper issues and sometimes they speak without thinking. I don’t know if they’ll have a brain short-circuit this time. Normal exchanges are fine, but if things go south… heh, as long as no one dies, I’ve got your back.”

Are they coming to cause trouble for me? Why does it feel like there’s a baiting element to it?

As Colin pondered, he sent the message he had already typed—”It’s not a big deal”—and then inquired about the second matter.

“The second thing is about your own destiny, which may not be very peaceful. I can’t give you details, as I’m not clear myself, but it feels like you’re constantly in some sort of large net. Be cautious in this regard…”

Old Master Wu told Colin that the situation might not have originated because of him, but it was as if he had stepped into a tranquil lake, creating ripples. Those ripples wouldn’t just disappear after spreading out; they would bounce back after reaching the shore…

“Hiss, just look at what you’re saying. Can you even understand that? Speak some human language!”

As Colin struggled to understand, he couldn’t help but interrupt.

“It means you’ve been lucky, reaped many benefits, but also unlucky, because something might come looking for you. Overall, it’s not so good; just be careful…”

“…”

Colin took a deep breath. Although he still didn’t fully grasp the concept, he became a bit more vigilant—after all, this was a warning from a Level 9 Personnel.

And thinking carefully about the most likely troublesome event recently, it had to be “The Disordered Ghost Train.”

‘It seems that although it’s not an Out-of-Control Copy, without teammates like Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix, nor is it a descending project, I can’t be careless because it’s a common event. I must prepare well.’

With a heightened sense of caution, the conversation with Old Master Wu concluded.

Colin glanced at other messages from Qin Chuan—trivial matters like reminding him that it was time to go to work—so he didn’t pay much attention.

“Go to work my ass; I’ve just worked so many days in a row, it’s time to enjoy some leisure…”

He closed his phone and took out the parchment to begin the Talent synthesis.

Before long, after spending approximately four thousand points, he obtained a Green Talent.

Then Colin spent points to dismantle his own “Physical Outburst” Talent, placing both into the “Advanced Fusion Ticket…”
