“What it actually is, when it will arrive, there’s no precise consensus…”

“In this regard, I don’t know much, because only a very, very small subset of beings can observe it and prepare for it, and I am not included among them…”

“King of Madness” seemed to know a little, but not much.

‘A First Level Containment Subject that doesn’t know about the entity? Although it’s a middle-lower tier among First Level Containment Subjects, it is, after all, considered equivalent to an Ancient God.’

Colin frowned, feeling somewhat perplexed.

At that moment, it seemed he realized that Colin was not very satisfied with this answer.

“King of Madness” added:

“The company should know a bit more. If you want to understand, I suggest that after you go out, you ask some of the bonfire higher-ups above Level B. With your current Level C and as part of the talent program… you should be able to get an answer.”

Ah, this…

Colin’s expression remained unchanged, but he felt a strange mix of emotions: The other party had deduced his status as a “Flame Bearer” Reservist, but had not detected his actual level of authority at the moment?

After thinking it over, he still decided not to reveal his true identity.

After all, given the character the entity currently showed, who knows what other thoughts might arise after the revelation.

Of course, the most crucial reason was that he had already obtained the useful information he needed.

‘2044, it seems, isn’t particularly secretive within the company; one can learn about it once reaching a certain level.’

‘However, one needs to inquire starting from Level B…’

‘The only concern is whether there are any bona fide high-level B Level employees in the company right now.’

Colin stroked his chin, pondering for a few seconds.

“Lady Rabbit,” he always thought her level should be enough.

It’s just…

Although there’s no direct and exact evidence, Colin always felt her identity was somewhat sensitive.

He mentally shook his head, dismissing the thought, and looked at the other party: “Is this all you know about the matter?”

“Yes…”

Unfortunately, this information might as well be nonexistent… Colin asked the next question: “What do you know about Rosen?”

“Eh?” Hearing this question, the frequency of vibrations on “King of Madness” changed as if it had a puzzled expression, as if to say… you’re asking me about someone from the company?

“For some reasons, I don’t know much about him, so I need to learn from you.”

Colin casually remarked.

Are you someone who had been promoted from the outside and hadn’t gained much knowledge yet?

“King of Madness” thought for a moment. After being captured, he hadn’t known much about the outside world, so he wasn’t clear about the current company’s status. He only felt something was off, but a starving camel is still bigger than a horse after all…

He was completely unaware that these people were now incapable of even appointing a “Flame Bearer.”

He then spoke without giving it much more thought and told Colin all he knew about Rosen.

This was one of the high-level “Flame Bearers” that had once made countless lives and heretical civilizations tremble in fear.

His exact ranking was not clear to “King of Madness,” but he surmised it was at least at the B+ level, or possibly he could also obtain A Level when needed, although it seemed he was not a permanent resident…

Yet even so, Rosen was one of the few within the company who stood just below the “Big Three,” excessively powerful and with control over the fearsome “Primordial Fire” Corps…

He was also the primary frontline executor for a company giant of uncertain identity.

‘Sss… a B+ Level identity of a ‘Flame Bearer’.’

Colin was shook inwardly, thinking back to the death of the plain head in the small church—why did it feel off?

Compared to the dominating presence the other “Flame Bearers” left behind, this one was not as impressive…

‘Wait, the key with ‘Flame Bearers’ should be the heart; perhaps the brain was not that important. This means that even if this cunning fellow lost a ‘non-essential part,’ there was still considerable power.’

Colin felt a secret chill, suspecting that perhaps even that head was a ‘backup.’

Given their propensity for “holding back,” maybe they had many backups of their own body parts in their pockets.

If the head happened to fall off, they could just pick up a new one, and keep the old one for parts…

As long as the heart was intact, it was all good.

But decoding the information, he gained a vague understanding of the corporate upper echelon’s structure.

‘Non-permanent A level status. There’s a distinction in frequency for this tier? That means, the Big Three at the company’s summit are likely these permanent A Level employees or possibly even a higher S Level?’

‘But it seems the company’s ratings, evaluations of items, and various affairs all use A Level as the highest standard, with no S, SS, SSS, or SSSR rankings.’

‘So, A Level might be the highest internal rank within the company.’

Thought after thought flashed through Colin’s mind; he surmised that the so-called Big Three were indeed those permanent A Level individuals.

Of course, “King of Madness” didn’t have a very accurate understanding of the absolute high-level ranks either.

Information about these upper-tier authority levels, even if not classified, wouldn’t be something a captive about to be infused with humanity and forcibly transformed would know.

Colin then asked about other names, but unfortunately, most of the ones “King of Madness” mentioned were unknown to him, and the list didn’t include “Lady Rabbit,” the one he was most curious about.
