Chapter 544: Chapter 433 “It” Awakens in My Brain. _1 Chapter 544: Chapter 433 “It” Awakens in My Brain. _1 Let you out? My, my, we’re getting to the point where true intentions come to light, aren’t we?

Colin suddenly became alert.

At that moment, he heard the other party continue speaking.

“In my sufficiently intact status, there would be a chance to contend with ‘Hunger’ in its incomplete status. Otherwise, even separated by the ‘Containment God Kingdom,’ there is a probability that I would be devoured by it for my certain traits.”

“The rules of a Level ‘0’ Containment Subject, at times, can disregard many things.”

“Last time, I sensed that an entity had fallen from a First Level Containment Subject to a lower tier and was devoured by ‘Hunger.’ Not long after, the power of the ‘Bonfire’ descended, and everything was resolved…”

…

‘A lower-tier First Level Containment Subject?’

Colin heard this description and quickly recalled what the other was referring to.

“Tyrant.”

That huge creature with the body of a wolf covered in blood-red fur.

Its size was abnormally massive, and its strength equally terrifying. Merely by walking, it could cause mountains to shake and the ground to tremble, then it gave “0-09 ‘Hunger'” a full meal.

At first, Colin had thought “Hunger” was probably on par with “Rage.”

Because his strength observation at that time…

Both appeared to be high-ranking existences whose peaks were hard to see.

But now that he understood enough, he could only say that no matter how much “Tyrant” struggled, even without his interference, the outcome wouldn’t have changed much. It was just a matter of dying sooner or later.

However, dying later might have led a whole bunch of people to die with it.

Thankfully, Colin managed to cut his losses in time, breaking off the fingers that clung to the cliff’s edge, sending the entity on its way.

Avoiding more personnel perishing alongside it…

And incidentally sharing many Gold Coins (Tyrannical Talent, etc.) that burst forth from it with company employees.

‘But, seeing the attitude of this “King of Mad Sounds,” does he think it was me who contained “Hunger”? Looking back now, the “Hunger” from back then must have reached beyond First Level Containment Subject…’

‘If I had the power to deal with it alone, I wouldn’t be here wasting words with you.’

Colin muttered to himself, then heard the “King of Mad Sounds” cautiously say:

“If you could let me out, then the next time you find a fragment of Hunger, let me assist you, and I am certain your reclamation of it will be even more successful…”

Not waiting for the “King of Mad Sounds” to finish, Colin waved his hand: “Let’s skip that part, move on to the next question.”

“Alright, you ask…” The “King of Mad Sounds,” though disappointed, dared not show it.

Curious, Colin spoke up: “What exactly is this ‘Containment God Kingdom’? What’s inside?”

“This… This is a unique and independent spatial dimension constructed by Rosen and others through their own power. It’s specifically designed to contain entities of certain value or those that cannot be killed quickly… Inside, time is twisted, space is segmented, chaos reigns, and the ‘fate’ of all things is controlled. Once captured inside, it’s basically impossible to escape on your own…”

As he spoke, the “King of Mad Sounds” seemed to realize something and hurriedly added: “I… I only have this minor chance to communicate with the outside world because I earnestly wish to become human and atone for the wrongs I’ve done. In my heart, there’s only the Bonfire Company as my sun…”

“And besides, it might seem like I can talk to you, but in reality… The most I can do is talk to you. I can’t sense other lives unless they are powerful enough, like that time with the lower-tier entity.”

After finishing speaking and noticing that the company employee enshrouded in flames had no intention of pursuing further, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“As for other entities inside… I’m not very familiar with them, because within ‘Containment God Kingdom,’ everything is both unified and isolated, with each Containment Subject remaining unseen by the others…”

Listening to his explanation, Colin roughly understood what this thing was.

But how exactly it was achieved, that remained unclear.

Having briefly grasped the concept, Colin thought for a while and continued to inquire: “Do you know what caused the ‘Plague of Magic Fog’?”

“The ‘Plague of Magic Fog’?”

The unique frequency changes composing the “King of Mad Sounds” seemed to express confusion.

Almost forgot, that seems like a local term, Colin thought for a moment and sent a related “Inspiration” across.

“This thing…”

After interpreting the “Inspiration,” the “King of Mad Sounds” for the first time showed uncertainty in his speech:

“Its cause is a bit complex, like pus leaking out from a pile of high-ranking bodies after they have rotted together…”

“Pus leaking from a pile of high-ranking bodies after they’ve rotted together?”

Colin was stunned by this explanation.

Before now, he had thought this thing might have been an invasion by some kind of high-dimensional being.

But to hear the “King of Mad Sounds” tell it, it seemed to be just pus from somewhere’s pile of rotting corpses?

“Do you have more specifics?” Colin pressed further.

Regrettably, the “King of Mad Sounds” shook his head, offering an unclear response.

“Of course, if you could release me…”

That again? Don’t even think about it.

Colin decisively waved his hand: “It’s not time for you to be let out yet.”

He didn’t reply with something like “the knowledge you’ve given isn’t enough” as tempting the entity with what could be enough wouldn’t be wise.

Better to cut off his expectations now to avoid too much hopefulness.

However, he couldn’t cut it off too completely, as that might provoke some retaliation.

After a pause and before a sense of disappointment arose from the other party, Colin added:

“I know you’re anxious, but don’t rush; let me finish speaking… If you cooperate well with the company’s work and stand out in your performance, there’s still a chance for you to come out…”
