Chapter 369: Chapter 367: Send Us Off with a Bonfire (Long Chapter)._1 Chapter 369: Chapter 367: Send Us Off with a Bonfire (Long Chapter)._1 “In this incident, it seems… that we didn’t successfully make it back home…”

A “Fate Propeller” D Level personnel muttered to himself, his face displaying a mix of emotions—frustration, powerlessness, and others that couldn’t be clearly defined.

And it was at that moment that he saw the comrades who had survived the calamity by a hair’s breadth dropping the items in their hands, their eyes blood red, completely losing their sanity, behaving like wild beasts.

Perhaps it was due to a similar aura emanating from him, these “beasts” did not attack him but rather pounced toward Colin who had approached him.

However, against these virtually defenseless D Level staff,

Colin didn’t even feel the desire to lift a finger…

Even though they were employees with above-average physical fitness, capable of sustaining only minor injuries from being hit by a dump truck unawares, with their current conditions, their enhanced physique was almost meaningless unless it was off-the-charts superior to normal humans.

Soon, as an icy blue storm blew through, eight of the nine D Level Personnel present were frozen into lifelike ice sculptures, immobile.

Amidst the eight differently posed ice sculptures, a blurry ice-blue shadow giggled “hehehe” while flitting among them, moving gracefully like a fish through water.

She occasionally reached out to knock the icicles off the frozen D Level Personnel, seemingly to further “polish” the sculptures.

‘This “Yukionna” is starting to become more whole in her “humanity,” and I think she might be ready to be released from the ring soon. After all, she seems to have taken a liking to the freezer compartment at home, has made it her nest, and doesn’t wander off…’

‘Once fully released, she’ll likely be equivalent to Purple Level Equipment, though her nature is a bit mischievous, like a child who loves to play pranks. There might be a need to teach her some respect for life…’

‘Otherwise, if she plays a prank on an ordinary person with her breath, it could be lethal…’

Various thoughts about “Yukionna” flashed rapidly through Colin’s mind.

Realizing that no other unexpected incidents had occurred, Colin shifted his gaze from there and looked toward the “Fate Propeller” D Level employee:

“And you, what exactly is your situation?”

“Me?”

The “Fate Propeller” D Level personnel looked down at himself and said, “I haven’t gone mad, probably because I’ve just used the power of the ‘Book of Fate,’ but this won’t last long…

“After this time, I’ll likely die completely…

“The contamination has seeped into our very marrow.”

As he spoke, a hint of intense red began to appear in his eyes…

The change wasn’t fast, but it was unstoppable.

Seeing this, Colin fell silent for a moment before asking, “What exactly happened here at the beginning?”

“I can’t remember clearly, and I dare not try to recall too much, or else I will lose even these last few minutes of clarity… Whatever it is seems to have properties beyond our comprehension. I can only tell you that, according to my vague intuition, the source of the contamination has not been completely resolved…”

Not yet resolved? Colin’s pupils contracted, and flames erupted involuntarily from his body.

He could handle these contaminated D Level Personnel, but that didn’t mean he could deal with the contamination behind them.

Regarding the still-unspecified oddity, he remained very vigilant at heart.

At the same time, Colin was puzzled about something else. Hadn’t “Bonfire Company” found the train in the past?

They had even turned it into a mission, so why hadn’t they resolved the issue?

“Hehe, no need to be so scared. You, coming here, must be protected by some of the company’s items, and besides, you have the power of ‘Primordial Fire’ on you. Although you’re not a true ‘Flame Bearer,’ as long as you keep yourself augmented with this flame throughout, you don’t need to worry about contamination. Hey, bro, can I borrow a light? Lighting a smoke with ‘Primordial Fire,’ I haven’t experienced that yet. Sss, right, what’s your mission here?”

The “Fate Propeller” D Level personnel, as he spoke, fished out a pack of Red Double Happiness cigarettes, expertly flicked one out, borrowed a bit of Colin’s flame to light it, and deeply inhaled.

“Not entirely sure,” Colin vaguely replied.

“Don’t know?” The man slowly exhaled smoke and said, “Could it be that you actually do know? As a ‘Flame Bearer’ reservist, coming here, you either came to wrap up the incident or to retrieve something important. With your strength, it’s likely the latter.”

‘Sorry, but I really don’t know…’

Colin remained outwardly unmoved, his lips pursed in contemplation.

‘Retrieve something important?’

“Do you know what it is?” Colin asked curiously.

“I’m not sure. If you really don’t know, and the mission didn’t spell it out from the start, then you’re probably here to investigate…”

“Ugh.” Colin pursed his lips; he was, indeed, in the investigative phase.

At that moment, the “Fate Propeller” D Level Personnel suddenly seemed to realize something after a deep drag of his cigarette, a complex expression on his face as he shook his head and sighed:

“If I’m not guessing wrong, we have become part of some repeating event, haven’t we?”

“You could guess that?” Colin was surprised.

It was as bizarre as an NPC in a video game suddenly questioning whether they were an NPC.

“Need to guess?”

The “Fate Propeller” D Level personnel took another drag and casually said, “I’m a ‘Scriptwriter,’ I’ve created a lot of similar stuff. Although my scripts don’t sell well and I don’t know why nobody’s buying them, I’m not unfamiliar with these things.

“Before realizing what was happening, I couldn’t have thought of it, but once you realize it, it’s like poking a hole through a piece of paper on a window—it becomes clear.
