Chapter 364: Chapter 362 In-depth Investigation of the “Ghost Train”. _1 Chapter 364: Chapter 362 In-depth Investigation of the “Ghost Train”. _1 “Unexpected, late but arrived,” he said. ”

Colin felt not a ripple in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a bit.

He knew that the company sending him on what seemed like an easy task wasn’t for him to retire on.

Oh no, it wasn’t just late but arrived, it was that the surprise was made clear from the beginning.

It was just that he and the others hadn’t paid much attention…

That three paragraphs had become two was not a small difference – missing the “voluntarily return to reality for task settlement” part meant…

The task was completed, but they couldn’t return.

Colin hadn’t noticed because it was his first time and wasn’t clear on the details. “Son of Sadomasochism” and the others didn’t notice because they’d been there too often, never imagining that such a small detail on the brief would change.

“There couldn’t be a bug, could there…”

“Son of Sadomasochism” and the others, exhausted from the battle, dazedly absorbed the information in their minds.

“So what do we do now?” team member “Fuer Mushroom” asked, looking perplexed.

However, the company didn’t keep them waiting too long. After the resentful corpses on the ground slowly vanished like sandcastles…

[The task “The Disordered Ghost Train” has been updated to “Conduct a deeper investigation on the ‘Ghost Train'”]

A new task appeared before everyone.

Without much thought, everyone opened the task at once.

And then…

Except for Colin, everyone present was shocked by the requirements of the task.

[Conduct a deeper investigation on the ‘Ghost Train’]

“Description”: In one hour, carry out a more in-depth investigation of this train that has experienced a disaster, to obtain more information.

“Requirement”: After successfully subduing the seventh carriage, remain in said carriage for a duration of three hours.

“Note”: In addition to the original reward, everyone will receive a minimum of five thousand points and one “Excellent Item Draw Ticket” as a mission reward.

“Attention”: You will not die in this task, but from this moment, items may begin to show real wear and tear.

…

“The seventh carriage? How is it possible to fight our way there…”

“Son of Sadomasochism’s” face changed; just getting through the third carriage had exhausted them. Reaching the seventh was impossible…

Even if he moved twice as fast now and twisted his waist, he couldn’t stop the enemies behind him that were ferocious like wolves.

As one who had challenged what came next, he knew just how much the difficulty spiked after the third carriage…

“Sigh, are we really doomed to never advance?”

“No.7 Little Chicken” and the others suddenly felt deflated.

Even though the task rewards were high, like a minimum of five thousand points and an excellent (purple) gear extraction ticket, the problem was, they had to be able to win!

Then, “Emperor Sun,” after reading the details, suddenly noticed something and laughed bitterly, “To be honest, rather than worrying about whether we can advance, I think we should be more concerned about whether we can go back…”

On hearing this, others almost replied that they could just die and return.

But it was then that they clearly noticed something…

The task mentioned revival upon death but didn’t say they could go back…

“Fuck, don’t tell me, if we can’t make it through, we’ll be trapped here forever?!” team leader “Son of Sadomasochism” exclaimed as he stood up in alarm.

Not only would they fail the mission, but in the end, they might not even be able to leave?

This time they were no longer concerned about whether they could advance.

One by one, they started to worry. If they really lost too many times, wouldn’t the company turn them into “instances” to be used by the lower E level players for practice?

It’s over, it’s all over…

One terrifying thought after another rose in their minds.

Meanwhile, having read the information, Colin guessed that it must be the handiwork of some unknown “Lady Bunny.”

“An excellent draw ticket… only for purple gear? It’s good, but I feel like it’s restrictive for me. With my luck, I could draw another golden card, which is much better than purple gear…”

“The seventh carriage, I should be able to manage the fight. Just need to be careful of those game-changing item effects. For now, it seems that D Level Personnel standard gear is only about one piece of purple gear, haven’t seen anything higher. Is it non-existent or just unusable?”

After quickly browsing the information, Colin had some thoughts about what he needed to do next.

Later, gathering his thoughts, he saw “Son of Sadomasochism” and the others looking like deflated eggplants, totally different from before, and couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

But, as the partial instigator, Colin thought it over and decided to cheer them on, “Whatever the situation, now that we have no choice, why not try forging ahead.

“There’s a chance if you don’t give up, but if you do, it’s all over.”

As he spoke, Colin extended his hand and conjured an orange-red flame in his palm.

Feeling the warmth coming from the flame, their minds cleared of distractions.

The company, mechanical and hollow, was cold and ruthless, only the buffs from their Righteous Father retained some warmth…

“Yeah, we’ve come this far, since there’s no way back, let’s just go forward,” the team leader “Son of Sadomasochism” also adjusted his mindset.

He paused, then looked at the flame in Colin’s hand, “What’s that…?”

He hadn’t seen Daddy use that buff before…

“Just some of my secret abilities,” Colin replied with a smile. He didn’t elaborate much but rather started to restore their statuses.

The losses in the third carriage were significant for everyone, and the biggest problem…

“Emperor Sun” was missing a lower leg.

But it wasn’t a big issue, as Colin allowed a portion of the “Nano Intellectual Mechanism” to temporarily serve as a prosthetic.

“Alright, let’s give it another go. But for the first time, I suggest we consider gathering some intelligence first. We don’t have to fight until we get the intel clear,” “Son of Sadomasochism” suggested as he looked at the others.

None of the others refuted his decision, since it was very likely that they couldn’t win…

Rather than fighting and potentially losing, they preferred to exchange their lives for intelligence and return next time.

Otherwise, if they weren’t careful and their items got damaged, they might lose the chance to fight their way through entirely.

At that moment, “Son of Sadomasochism” suddenly remembered something and turned to Colin, curiously asking, “By the way, did you gather any useful information from hearing those people’s conversations just now?”

Upon hearing this question, the other members also turned their heads curiously.

They were quite eager to know what Colin had heard…

It might contain the secret to clearing the level.

“It’s mostly stuff about the company, kind of like complaints and gossip. It’s not very helpful for our current situation…”

As Colin spoke, he recalled the information he had heard, seemingly not much concerned on the surface, yet inwardly, he was profoundly shocked.

He didn’t know much about “The Great Expedition Far Away,” but he was familiar with “World Code.”
