SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 525 - 525 425 Bonfire Temple_2

Chapter 525: Chapter 425 “Bonfire Temple”!_2 Chapter 525: Chapter 425 “Bonfire Temple”!_2 “The large-caliber bullets from before haven’t been used up yet… But there’s no need for such things in ‘World Code-13’…”

Colin piled all the ammunition in the living room to make space for supplies.

If someone were to come check this sight, they’d probably be scared enough to call the police on the spot…

But, with Xu Duojin’s “arrangements.”

The chances of that happening were extremely slim…

After roughly finishing these tasks, Colin didn’t idle but instead took a look at the parchment.

He was going to continue to search for candidates for the “interdimensional gift package,” but he saw a message from “Arsonist Tao Tie” and company…

They were all asking when he could make a trip to “World Code-4.”

“Can’t go, I have to attend tutoring classes.”

Colin skimmed their messages with a glance.

They had developed a certain fear of “World Code-4,” not because of some strange tasks there, but because of that “one thousand jin.”

The other party kept asking when he’d come; although she wasn’t tired of asking, the others listening were almost stressed out.

Even when they returned home and opened the refrigerator or cracked an egg, it seemed as though a head would pop out and ask Sir Bonfire when he would come…

It was driving them crazy.

“This… after so long, the feelings haven’t faded yet?”

Colin felt inexplicably guilty; he hadn’t expected that doing just that little bit would leave such a lasting impression on the other party.

However, no matter what, going there was definitely out of the question.

He simply couldn’t miss his weekly “extra lessons” with the Saintess…

After a series of exchanges, Colin felt like he was about to steal Learn her skill similar to “Flash.”

It would probably happen this week or the next…

So, there was definitely no way he could go to “World Code-4.”

But as a compromise, maybe he would upgrade the Bonfire of World No. 13, and there might be a chance for interworld communication.

“Other places’ Bonfires have never had the ability to communicate like this, does it mean ‘World Code-4’ or ‘World Code-13’ are actually not very far from each other?”

Colin thought for a moment but eventually shook his head. To the company, it might not be far.

But if he foolishly tried to breach the atmosphere, to cross the distance on his own, he probably couldn’t reach the destination even if he flew until his death.

Putting away his lingering guilt and conscience, Colin thought for a moment, stood up, and returned to his bed, ready to enter his “office” and inform the trio about something.

Consciousness sank, as if passing through something…

Before long, when Colin opened his eyes again, he saw his extravagantly decorated “office.”

A terrifyingly huge fireball hung high above at an unknown height, like a heart, spewing out a massive amount of flames, illuminating the entire world with its light.

Below the fireball, everywhere was shrouded in smoke.

Except for the hall beneath Colin’s feet, filled with the traces of war and looking exceptionally ruined.

As his authority increased, Colin felt the “background” here seemed to be becoming more realistic.

It felt like…

One day when looking up, the gigantic fireball above might become real.

Taking a deep breath and putting away the strange thoughts, Colin walked briskly to the long table in the hall, sat down on a high-backed chair he commonly used, and was about to summon someone when he noticed the previously vague 29 points of light had become bright.

“Can I pull them over now?”

Colin was startled, soon realizing this point.

And whether by coincidence or not, through the lights, he could tell that they were currently free from assignments.

“Should I pull these guys over here?”

Colin sat in the high-backed chair, pondered for a moment, and then tapped his hand on the table.

“Dong dong.”

Amidst the crisp sound,

All the points of light scattered, each finding a seat at the table, then stretched, expanded, and gradually coalesced into a series of blurred figures.

…

At the same time,

In a small room, “Life Mentor Adorable,” who had just conned a few coworkers into applying for “The Descent Project,” was lying on a couch, eyes closed, ready to nap.

But at that moment, he abruptly felt a strong sense of weightlessness.

His body jerked, and he immediately opened his eyes.

Then…

“Hiss, where is this?”

“Life Mentor Adorable” gasped, seeing that he had somehow appeared in a mysterious and eerie hall, sitting at a long table in the center of it.

Bright and warm light cascaded down from above…

He subconsciously raised his head and saw, as if on the infinitely high ceiling above, there was an immensely huge fireball. It seemed like a star, yet very active, continuously spewing flames that seemed to set the entire dome ablaze…

Almost simultaneously, he wanted to activate his “Tyrant Body·Limited Edition” Talent, as well as the “High-Speed Movement”.

However, he found that everything inside him was suppressed by an unknown rule…

An intangible intuition told him that if he wanted to move, he had to submit an application and obtain an approval response.

“Damn, my mom!”

“Mama Mia!”

“What is this place?!”

“…”

A string of expletives came from nearby, making the place noisy.

Only then did he notice that besides himself, there were quite a few figures who had come here. These figures were shrouded in a very thin layer of smoke and their specific appearances were unclear.

However, from the IDs above their heads, Kě’ài duō still recognized that these were all colleagues from the company.

And they were all…

“World Code-13” members of “The Descent Project”!

“Thump thump.”

A knocking sound came from not too far away.

Although the sound was not loud, it clearly entered everyone’s ears, calming the place down.

They almost simultaneously and uniformly turned toward the sound and saw, sitting at the main seat of a long table, a figure with flames burning all over his body, silently staring at them.

Having recognized the familiar presence with just one glance, they knew who it was.

Brother Shunzi.

Some were just about to ask something when they suddenly saw three people stand up, facing the other direction of the ancient and majestic hall, which seemed like a temple, to pay their respect.

Following their gaze, everyone slowly raised their heads and saw, at the end of a sequence of steps behind the hall, a huge stone chair upon which sat an awe-inspiring figure shrouded in smoke, emanating a mysterious presence.

From this angle, the terrifying fireball on the dome looked just like a halo behind its head.

The aura emanating from it made everyone feel a chilling terror, instinctively averting their eyes and not daring to look directly.

“Whoosh.”

He also quickly stood up to express his respect.

After he stood up, the other colleagues, although unsure of the circumstances, belatedly stood up and paid homage to that unknown presence.

‘Paying respect to myself feels a bit strange, but it seems the effect of intimidation has been achieved.’

Colin mumbled to himself, then with a thought, a large amount of smoke flowed over the street, shrouding the towering figure on the steps from view.

It was at the moment when that being disappeared that the group of three sat back down.

“Is it over?”

The rest, not knowing what to do, sat down following the lead of the trio.

With the watchful presence gone, they felt a certain ease in their hearts, and immediately after, they couldn’t help but speculate about the identity of the mysterious figure…

Without a doubt, aside from possessing great power, they could also feel that the authority of the figure was above theirs.

This…

Could this be the elusive high-level executive of “Bonfire Company” about whom there were legends?

So far, the only high-level executive from the company that they had contact with was that C Level Personnel who was privately called the “Iron Fist Instructor.”

But that person had long since passed away, leaving behind only a few tasks.

Unlike this one, who was very much alive!

In thought, everyone couldn’t help but turn their gaze to the man sitting at the main seat of the long table.

Even though he hadn’t spoken yet, they all realized.

“Brother Shunzi surely has someone backing him…”

Although they had speculated about this before, the confirmation still shocked them.

Indeed, how could the “Descent Project” be completed without someone’s support? How could they breach the “Out-of-Control Copy”?

Everything pointed to the fact that Brother Shunzi’s background was not simple!

“Cough cough…”

Feeling the stares, Colin couldn’t help but cough twice.

He always felt that these people seemed to have misunderstood something.
