An invisible engine roared to life.

In front of him, the huge mass of flesh, the employees around him, the dust floating in midair, everything seemed to freeze in place like a paused photograph.

“God damn it, friends taste so good…”

Muttering a complaint in his heart, Colin looked around but saw no other enemies. Without hesitation, he pulled out a Bone Spur and stabbed it toward the gaping maw of the gruesome flesh before him.

The flesh itself was not particularly tough and lacked protective skin, so the Bone Spur easily penetrated it.

At that moment, the ticking sound of a clock’s second hand began…

“Aaah!!!”

A sharp scream suddenly pierced the air.

The enormous mass of flesh seemed to undergo some horrifying torture, bouncing and thrashing in pain, emitting an unbearable wail.

Its screams were so piercing that they made the ears of “Son of Sadomasochism” and others tingle with numbness.

However, observing the suddenly changing scene, they were slightly stunned and, for a moment, couldn’t grasp what was going on or why the enemy they were just about to engage had suddenly retreated.

“It’s time stasis!” “Little Chicken No. 7” suddenly recalled Brother Shunzi’s famous tool.

Brother Shunzi had become well-known in the company because of this item.

In front of them, Colin watched the tormented flesh wailing externally and did not pursue further.

At this moment, a new mission event surfaced in his mind.

[Event Three: Complete containment of the original artifact “Blood of Rebirth,” which has gone completely out of control.]

“Note”: Extra evaluation points and rewards will be gained.

…

“The ‘Blood of Rebirth,’ an original artifact that has completely lost control?”

Colin murmured to himself, then guided by some intuition, looked toward the mass of flesh convulsing and wailing outside the carriage.

This time, he understood what this thing was all about…

‘So it’s the remains of an employee’s artifact that once died here? No wonder it’s so weak; I thought it was the anomaly causing issues here…’

‘Didn’t expect it’s just a green-named artifact. No wonder it doesn’t seem very strong; a simple poke caused it to act like it’s dying, although surviving the Bone Spur attack should mean it started off as an uncontrollable Purple object.’

Colin’s thoughts flashed in his mind, and then instead of taking immediate action, he looked at the task requiring him to stay in the seventh carriage for three hours.

At this moment, the task had been updated.

Instead of delving deeper for investigation, the task had shifted to, [“Light a bonfire.”].

Colin glanced at the mission description, which essentially tasked them with finding materials nearby to light a temporary bonfire.

As for the materials needed…

Colin pursed his lips, cast a kindly glance toward the convulsing mass of flesh outside the carriage.

He had to turn it into kindling before it died in pain.

The process of gathering kindling went smoothly without any incidents…

After Colin had dissected the monster, which had become uncontrollable from “Blood of Rebirth,” and thrown its parts outside the carriage door onto the empty ground, then casually doused it with a bit of Grease, a bonfire seven or eight meters high was immediately lit.

“Trash, only burns this high.”

Colin looked up at the two to three-story high flames and shook his head, dissatisfied.

However, the flesh he had killed seemed to be only a part of “Blood of Rebirth.” Within the surrounding dull area, there were still a vast number of “Blood of Rebirth” flesh masses.

Looking at it, it resembled some sort of bizarre fleshly moss…

But he did not dwell on this matter for long. As soon as the bonfire was lit,

Colin and “Son of Sadomasochism” among others had a map-like entity appear in their minds.

This area continued to expand consistently with the emergence of the bonfire.

After experimenting a bit, they could sense that the maximum range of this “small map” should be just over one kilometer; anything beyond that became incredibly blurred.

Of course, it was still growing, but the rate of expansion was getting slower and slower.

“So the ‘Bonfire’ also serves as a little map.”

Colin pursed his lips again, sensed their vicinity, and combining the small map with his sense of smell, quickly noticed that a few hundred meters away, apart from the wriggling flesh masses of various sizes, there seemed to be other anomalies present.

One of them was quite familiar…

A figure wearing a black, complicated lace gothic coat dress, like a ghostly entity, had on its forehead an unsettling eye roaming restlessly.

Of all the anomalies nearby, only it posed the greatest threat.

At the moment, it seemed unaware of Colin’s presence and was kneeling on the ground, grabbing chunks of flesh flowing from “Blood of Rebirth” and stuffing them into its mouth, chewing briefly before swallowing, eating until its stomach was slightly bulging.

“Isn’t that the ‘Demon Sword•Spectral Witch’?”

Colin expressed surprise; during the previous battle, he had been cut several times by this level 6 sword, only to smash its head in with a punch, so he was very familiar with its scent.

However, compared to before, this entity now seemed completely out of control, reverted to its original form.

Its head no longer bore any signs of being caved in…

“It appears that this is probably the true form of the Demon Sword; the one in the train replica must be fake.”

Colin thought to himself, intrigued.

However, soon after he looked over, whether the Demon Sword had eaten its fill or something else had occurred, its form became volatile and disappeared from the spot.

Apart from that, in several other places, there were also a few likely out-of-control artifacts present.
