Chapter 376 - 376 369 Time Stasis Item Liberation

Chapter 376: Chapter 369 “Time Stasis” Item Liberation Application! (Two in One)_2 Chapter 376: Chapter 369 “Time Stasis” Item Liberation Application! (Two in One)_2 Even one third of them don’t have Purple Gear, only a few pieces of Green Gear.

‘But no matter what, the quantity and quality of items can’t compare to the current Employees. You know, even Squad F almost has one item per person, and the ‘Son of Cruelty’ even has two pieces of Purple Gear. Inside the company’s group chat, it seems all D Level Personnel have a baseline of two to three pieces…’

Colin’s thoughts spun as he guessed whether it was due to too many deaths.

Resulting in a situation where there are more items than people now.

Especially since many items were of very low integrity when first obtained, and had to be slowly repaired with Points and the like.

But before he could ponder further, gazes from all around fell upon him. Colin slightly reined in his sprawling thoughts, took a deep breath, and as the Little Maid swiftly repaired the wounds on his right hand, his gaze shifted towards the few remaining D Level Personnel.

Under his scrutiny, their expressions were grave. Despite knowing they stood no chance of victory, they showed no signs of retreating.

And inside his mind, a rapid exchange of information took place.

“Vice-Captain, what do we do next…” It seemed to be a D Level Employee speaking.

“We’ve been blocked in here, unable to communicate with the outside world, and he’s probably here to kill us all. Given our status and the combat strength he has shown, escape is impossible. So, we must try to break the blockade at all costs and transmit the information about this place before we die…”

“Otherwise, with such a person infiltrating the train, everybody will be in great danger…”

“Next…”

“Do not retreat, do not dodge, do not yield, fight to the death!”

As the information settled, a female D Level Employee gestured, merging the ‘Demon Sword’ with a human head into her body, and then she took off her hat. Below the brim of her hat, her eyes shimmered with a blood-red light, and her hair wildly grew and writhed.

Seeing their Vice-Captain fight desperately, the rest of the Personnel also spread out and continued their attempts to kill Colin.

“Although I admire your determination, unfortunately, time’s almost up. I can only send you off early to retain some dignity,” Colin said with a sigh, and then he made his move once again.

This time, to ensure their “honorable deaths,” he used his full strength.

After several more minutes, as the last person was consumed by flames, the battle finally ended.

The seventh carriage, cleared!

“Phew!”

Colin heaved a heavy sigh, feeling somewhat tired after the successive battles, despite his strength.

The delaying tactics and this direct crushing approach really differed immensely in terms of effort required.

The former would likely not prompt these D Level staff to resort to desperate measures…

The latter required absorbing full damage, and even for Colin, it wasn’t easy, because some of the D Level Employees’ tactics indeed posed a nuisance.

“With my strength, facing more than seventy of these D Level Employees head-on without adding Level C Employees, I probably would have had to activate ‘Hunger,’ right?”

As Colin thought it over, he suddenly felt that he was still too weak.

“Right, there’s something I can try…”

Colin took out a Golden Card and then silently thought ”Containment Protocol’ Item Liberation request. ‘Time Stasis’ Item 15 percent liberation’…

After voicing his thoughts internally, Colin eagerly looked at his Golden Artifact—

If the D Level’s Purple Gear liberation was that powerful, what about a Golden Artifact?!

Yet, after one, two, three, four, five, six seconds, Colin didn’t see any changes in his ‘Time Freeze’.

‘Could it be that I need to say it out loud?’

Colin hesitated for a moment, then glanced around. Seeing flames burning everywhere and figuring his voice would likely not be heard by others, he moved his lips:

“‘Containment Protocol’ Item Liberation request, ‘Time Freeze’ Item 15 percent Liberation!”

Suppressing a certain sense of embarrassment after saying this out loud, he continued to wait expectantly.

Regrettably, even after several seconds, no new effect manifested.

Item Liberation failed.

“Strange, I’m sure the original words were just this…”

After pondering for a bit, he tried another card, but to no avail.

“Could it be that my level is not high enough to unlock the seals on the Golden Artifact?”

Thinking this, Colin attempted to use an Orange Gear, still with no success…

Even the Purple Gear seemed to not work.

“Could it be uniquely D Level? But outside, I’ve never heard of D Levels having this technique. Alas, looks like it’s either an exclusive technique for the previous Employees or requires some special conditions. And speaking of which, not every D Level Personnel on the Ghost Train has this technique. Only a part can liberate the seals…”

Colin sighed and quietly put away his equipment.

Then, with a thought, the flames began to slowly retract from all directions…

Seeing the flames that covered the entire carriage retract back behind Colin’s head, forming into a small sun-like ball of fire, those like the ‘Son of Cruelty’ realized the battle must have ended.

They first looked at their items with pained expressions before stepping out.

Then, seeing Colin with a pale face and bleeding body, they changed expressions and hurried to inquire, “Brother Shunzi, how are you holding up?”

“I’m alright, just surface wounds,” Colin waved his hand, taking out the ‘Gluttony Power Mark’ to heal himself.

His injuries were mostly ruptured blood vessels and internal bleeding, which, with the help of ‘Nano-smart Machinery,’ should heal in less than an hour…

While treating himself, he continued to check the mission status.

It seemed to be because he had successfully suppressed the seventh carriage.
