SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 469 - 469 402

Chapter 469: 402 Chapter 469: 402 Colin sat at the dining table, his fingers stroking his chin, a thoughtful expression flashing in his eyes.

Since it had to be done, it naturally had to be done thoroughly.

Not just officially, but if given the chance, he should also see if more assistance could be obtained from the company.

“For the company, clearing out heretic forces is also part of the routine, so it shouldn’t be a problem. Moreover, even if I can’t get help, my power is more than enough to disguise as a ‘Divine Envoy’ even if it can’t conceal the ‘Dawn Star’…”

As these thoughts flickered through his mind, Colin’s plan began to take shape.

After another ten minutes or so of checking for omissions, his brain finally ceased pondering…

“Ah, working with the company for so long, my heart has also started to turn a bit dark…”

With a sigh, Colin took out his cellphone and notified Xu Duojin to hurry over, then resumed eating the seafood feast that he had barely started due to various interruptions.

A stack of freshly prepared delicacies was brought over by the little maid.

Colin, while suppressing the “Hunger” within his heart, stuffed various foods into his mouth.

Through eating over the past half month, his weight had recovered rapidly and was almost back to that of a normal person.

At least when he went out, people would no longer think he was suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or anything of the sort.

Almost three hours later, after eating continuously, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

As Colin spoke, in walked Xu Duojin, dressed in a black suit and tie, carrying a briefcase. Without waiting for Colin to say much, he pulled a chair over to the table and sat down.

“I just finished eating. If you had come a bit earlier, you could have had a crab leg,” said Colin, picking his teeth with a toothpick fashioned from a part of the little maid, while looking at the other man.

Meanwhile, the little maid began to clear the mess on the table without any complaints.

Xu Duojin glanced at the “Nano-smart Machinery” that made scientists around the world exclaim as impossible and then sat up straight, facing Colin:

“Sorry for being late. Is there something you needed?”

Colin had not specified the details over the phone, and Xu Duojin, through his spiritual intuition, felt the matter was important but not particularly urgent, so he hadn’t left the important meeting he was attending about the “Awakener” matter…

“Let’s start with this…”

Colin took out one item after another that the company had sent down and pushed them across the table.

“This is…”

Xu Duojin took the items handed to him by Colin, inspected them closely, and quickly recognized that they were likely items with some special effects.

Moreover, the faint aura emanating from these items felt somewhat familiar.

He then realized these were the difficult-to-handle items that might not have very high World Codes but were extremely troublesome.

“They’ve been turned into items?”

Looking up at Colin with surprise, Xu Duojin held an item resembling a cabbage.

“Yes, have a look at them.”

“Okay.”

Xu Duojin nodded and examined each item. Although he already knew that the “Bonfire Company” had the ability to completely digest and process anomalies, actually seeing them still gave him a small shock.

The batch of anomalies he personally verified before were all things that even with great cost, were difficult to handle and even impossible to destroy on their side.

They could suppress and seal, but somehow they still couldn’t destroy them.

He hadn’t imagined that in such a short time, they would have changed into this form.

“Inside each item, there is more than one abnormal aura, but these abnormalities seem to only possess a small part of their original selves, having been disassembled and then recombined. The form is changed, and it’s hard to imagine how it’s done…”

After assessing each one, Xu Duojin finally shook his head.

At this moment, he faintly understood that sense of absurdity scientists felt when faced with the little maid.

It was as if the other party had broken common sense by telling him 1+1=3 and, damn it, it was correct.

However, since he wasn’t an employee of the company, even though the items were currently ownerless, he couldn’t see the detailed descriptions of the items.

It was unclear what effects these items had, what negative effects they might possess… Even before being verbally granted temporary authority, he wasn’t even qualified to use them…

But that was of no consequence, as among the officials, there were quite a few who were employees of the company.

“Alright, there are a total of eight items in this trade. I’ve taken one, and the rest are all yours,” Colin said, not accustomed to lying about such matters, as he handed over the other artifacts.

“No problem.”

Xu Duojin nodded, tactfully refraining from asking whether there really were only eight items or anything of that sort, as that would have been somewhat impolite to pursue.

Moreover, his, or rather the officials’ main purpose, was simply to resolve these difficult anomalies, and any other benefits that arose from them could be considered a bonus.

After a pause, Xu Duojin took the initiative to ask, “Mr. Colin, do you have any suggestions on how to use these items?”

Oh?

Hearing this, Colin, who was ready to turn the page and move on to the next matter, was momentarily taken aback, then quickly grasped the other party’s intention.

“Among these, there are two with healing effects, as well as one that can make plants grow rapidly, which might be very suitable for employees executing the ‘God Descent Project.'”

Colin provided his “suggestions.”

“I see.” Xu Duojin nodded and then looked at Colin, indicating the next matter.

Colin didn’t dawdle and directly shared some thoughts about the “Dawn Star,” informing the other party of his plans.

A few minutes later, Xu Duojin, a middle-aged man dressed in a suit but looking somewhat younger, nodded:

“No problem, I will mobilize the relevant forces shortly and assist you as much as possible…”

Under the pretext of a divine descent, he would mobilize international forces to spread the news…

If it were up to Xu Duojin alone, it would be feasible to mobilize resources domestically, but it would be problematic abroad. However, making the request from Colin was another matter entirely.

In some sense, although Colin was not widely known within the organization, if he wanted to do something, even the world’s top Ninth Level Personnel could not ignore his requests. His influence was frighteningly high…

And since this matter was clearly beneficial for the officials, they had no reason not to cooperate.

However, the specifics of how to conduct the operation would depend on how Old Master Wu would respond after he received the intelligence.

“I expect the scene will be quite grand…”

Xu Duojin thought to himself and could vaguely foresee some indistinct inspiration.

Based on his understanding of those individuals, he could already envision the kind of spectacle it would instigate.

It was after discussing this matter, concluding the topic, that Xu Duojin picked up his briefcase, holding a bunch of artifacts, and was about to leave when he seemed to recall something and sat back down.

“Is there something else?” Colin leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and raised an eyebrow.

“This is the list of anomalous objects for the next trade…”

Xu Duojin opened his briefcase, pulled out a thick folder, and handed it entire to Colin.

Ordinarily, if they were still unable to confirm the company’s exact capabilities, they would likely have only given the first half of the folder. But now…

Having confirmed that the company truly had the ability to dismantle anomalies and turn them into artifacts, achieving a kind of “harmlessness” in another sense, he presented the complete list.

Xu Duojin felt that many of these artifacts were composed of multiple anomalies, suggesting perhaps that the company was showing off its skills.

After all, according to his observations, most artifacts were not normally “stitched together” like these.

“Okay.”

Colin took the folder and glanced at it. The first few pages were fine, but the latter half listed many high-level anomalous beings that were challenging for the officials to deal with, including some marked as “ultra-high risk”…

‘According to the company’s metrics, this should be close to the standard for Level 2 Containment Subjects.’

Estimating in his mind, Colin thought that this time he should select an appropriate one from here to be used as an upgrade material for the “World Code-13” Bonfire…
