SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 426 - 426 385

Chapter 426: 385 Chapter 426: 385 That is to say, as long as the employees can endure hardship, there will always be endless hardship to endure…

But what it controls rather well is ensuring that the employees aren’t overwhelmed by hardship all at once; rather, it achieves sustainable suffering.

At the same time, upon hearing Colin’s words, the Fifth Level Personnel was startled.

“Level Seven Members can’t handle the situation here?”

He instinctively found it hard to believe, because Level Seven indicates domestic senior management, capable enough to solve most problems. If even they couldn’t handle it, then the situation here was somewhat beyond his imagination.

But considering this man’s uniqueness, he realized that, perhaps, what the other party said was true…

In an instant, his breathing became slightly restrained, “Then…”

He wanted to suggest calling for Eighth Level Personnel to intervene, but since the disappearance of Liping from this region for unknown reasons, the upper levels simply couldn’t spare more Eighth Level Personnel to take charge. They had always been jointly managed by three Level Seven Personnel!

Of course, to say there were no Eighth Level Personnel wouldn’t be correct, as there was one inside Base Number Five.

Only, the one from Base Number Five was impossible to pry away from the base…

The local governmental forces also didn’t have the authority to mobilize much of Base Number Five’s power, whose influence only obeyed orders from the central upper echelons…

As for transferring people from other regions, it wasn’t impossible either, but who knows how long it would take for them to arrive with all that procedure.

Wrong!

The Fifth Level Personnel looked at Colin, remembering the document in his hand.

This man, with a document of almost the highest clearance, akin to those who bore imperial mandates in ancient times, symbolically also represented the will of the central hub. If he were to step forward, maybe he could request that top-tier force from within Base Number Five…

However, as a myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind, he had just formed an idea when he heard the other party say, “What are you still standing there for? Let’s go.”

“Ah?” The Fifth Level Personnel was taken aback, watching Colin’s figure moving forward:

“Wait, are you saying we’re going to solve it?”

“What else?” Colin said as a matter of course, as he set the Nano Intellectual Mechanism to expand into a small diving apparatus.

Diving tens of thousands of meters into the deep sea was impossible, but a few hundred meters was not a big problem.

Even if an explosion occurred a few hundred meters deep, with his physical condition, he wouldn’t have to worry about being torn apart by the seawater…

“You said that even Level Seven Personnel are fundamentally unable to resolve the situation here, right?” The Fifth Level Personnel still didn’t understand.

He still couldn’t discern Colin’s strength and could only guess that the other might be carrying some special items, but no matter what, his capabilities, at best, would reach Sixth or Seventh Level…

“So, that’s why I’m here, isn’t it?”

“You’re here?” The Fifth Level Personnel hadn’t quite caught on yet.

Colin had no idea that so many thoughts had just raced through the other’s mind.

Seeing that the other hadn’t moved yet, he reached out with his left hand, grabbed his shoulder, and then leapt into the diving apparatus transformed from the Little Maid.

Afterward, he took a deep breath and held it.

In the blink of an eye, a Secret Force was bestowed upon him, rapidly reducing the presence of all things related to him.

Moreover, during this period, any noise he made would also have an extremely low presence.

In his current Status, as long as he didn’t engage in vigorous movements, he could easily hold his breath until the maximum use time of this tool, which was thirty minutes…

However, it was not even five minutes later when the two of them encountered a fissure beneath a dark reef.

Following the fissure down, they entered through a very narrow passage; after about a dozen meters, like reflecting from the bottom, they passed a bend and a tunnel leading upwards appeared…

Although the above was utterly dark, Colin could already sense the presence of some people.

“It’s not easy for these Cultists, managing to find such a secluded area in a place like this to secretly conduct their rituals,” Colin murmured to himself, then commanded the Little Maid to continue upwards.

About ten seconds later, they surfaced from the water and saw the entrance to a cavern.

It was at this moment that the Fifth Level Personnel felt a chill run down his scalp because he saw three brown-haired foreigners, Cultists, positioned at different spots at the cave entrance…

They had appeared directly in front of the enemy!

However, the next second, to his surprise, the item in the hands of the employee carrying the “all-powerful” document still worked wonders; they stood right in front of these people, yet it was as if they were never seen…

The others kept discussing some intriguing objects.

“Ah, the ritual is about to begin… I’m so excited, looking forward to the ‘Dawn Star’s’ favor, longing for her tentacles to harshly lash against my body…”

“Too gentle, too gentle, only a recent convert like you would enjoy such unexciting things. Unlike me, I hope she uses that thing of hers to tear my mouth open and pour relentlessly into it…”

“I want to stretch out my tongue and lick her portrait…”

“…I’ve washed every corner of my body clean and tidy…”

…

“Ah, heavy taste, it’s got to be Western…”

Although he already knew from intelligence reports that the ‘Dawn Star’ Cultists were a bit strange compared to other cults, hearing these words still nearly made Colin burst out laughing…

He felt as if he hadn’t come to a den of Cultists but to a certain… adult establishment.

“And who exactly is this so-called most beautiful girl, ‘Dawn Star’?… The name sounds quite normal, certainly better than Followers of the ‘Red Moon’, but why are their actions and behaviors even more outrageous than those of the Followers of the ‘Red Moon’?”

Colin’s gaze swept over a Cultist and could smell the heavy scent of blood on him.
