It was a message from Xu Duojin.

“I just finished eating and here comes your message… nicely timed.”

Colin pursed his lips, opened the message to read it, and found nothing special. It essentially said that the transaction for tomorrow, January 4th, was almost ready.

By tomorrow morning, someone would come to pick him up, and then he could proceed with the execution.

“The location is still Base No. 5, but security will probably be much tighter after the last breach. After all, there will be hundreds of containment subjects on offer this time, and one slip-up could lead to a regional disaster.”

Colin nodded, not too worried about this.

Given the “Rat”‘s usual MO, it was unlikely it would dare to face him head-on right now.

Because it wasn’t just the officials who were watching it.

From the content of the letters “Lady Rabbit” had given him before, Colin estimated that if it really came down to a confrontation, “Lady Rabbit,” who seemed constrained or perhaps had some reservations, was quite likely to take direct action.

“But these guys are as tricky as snakes to pin down.”

Just as Colin was digesting this information, he saw Xu Duojin had sent some other things.

It was about those “Awakeners.”

The other party was asking him if he had any further information on these people, as they’d found the number of such individuals appeared to be rising steadily…

At present, they had already caught nearly a hundred.

But they were far from done.

Every few days, they’d come across several more, more numerous than leeks.

Xu Duojin’s message read, “About these people, one miraculous thing they all seem to share is a personality difference but an essentially strong egocentric trait. Then, under fixations of ‘revenge’ or ‘becoming stronger,’ they’d go do various things… In other words, they might feel like the protagonists of the world due to some kind of guidance or influence.”

“Of course, that’s not the key point. The key is that as they grow stronger, their mental state becomes more and more unstable, often lashing out violently over trivial issues.

“And then they themselves end up losing control and turn into monsters…”

Ah, this…

The previous batch of “protagonists” are still toiling in the Other World for reformation…

Seeing Xu Duojin’s description, Colin was reminded of those several “Heroes” who were enthusiastically set on changing the world.

“That’s too much, why target these people for bullying?”

“However, I only know that their abilities seem to be linked to the company, beyond that, I don’t have much more information.”

“As for the mental instability, that’s not surprising. After all, the company’s products are meant to be used together, and these people having talents and whatnot crammed into their bodies to forcefully symbiose would be abnormal if they were mentally stable.”

Talents, skills, company tools… if ordinary people could just casually use these things,

then why would they tirelessly do missions, strive for performance, and drink Gene Compensation Medicine?

Besides, the nature of the employees is also an important factor.

After pondering for a moment, Colin edited some of the information he currently knew and informed Xu Duojin, then after making sure that this guy had nothing else, he took the initiative to inquire about the movements of those heretic forces.

“At the moment, it seems that because they are under the protection of the ‘company,’ many heretic forces are unable to see the details of this ‘God Descent’ through prophecies, divinations and the like, leading them to believe that something is indeed likely to descend this time.”

“As a result, almost all mobile heretic forces have started exploring the ‘City at the Lake’s Bottom,’ swearing to protect human territory from the contamination of wicked Outer Gods…”

“Just from what we currently definitely know, there are as many as fifty organizations from around the world of all sorts that have now mostly banded together.”

Seeing Xu Duojin’s words, Colin couldn’t help but tear up, moved by the determination of these people to defend the world.

Moved to the point where he couldn’t help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth…

“It seems this wave is destined to be a bountiful harvest. Many of these heretic forces aren’t very strong, but the status of the items in their hands isn’t low. If we pick them up, we’ll probably make a tidy sum…”

“This way, my Golden Card repair plan can also be put on the agenda…”

Based on the points required to repair the orange equipment “Revolver Reverser.”

Colin estimated that the Golden Card would likely need several hundred thousand points, which made him feel a suffocation in his chest…

It was like when he was working part-time earning a salary of five thousand yuan, yet faced with the shock of a three million yuan house price.

But the difference is…

This time, there was actually a chance of getting the Golden Card repaired.

It’s just a bit life-threatening.

Of course, even if he could repair them, he could only choose one of them and couldn’t repair all at the same time.

Both “Force Repulsion” and “Time Freeze” were very useful.

He couldn’t decide which one to choose for half a day.

“Forget it, I’ll wait until the points are in hand and then make a decision based on the situation,” he concluded.

Colin ended his daydream and checked his phone again, confirming that aside from Qin Chuan asking him when he would go to work to lead everyone to clean up the nearby anomalies, there was nothing else, so he lay back down on the bed.

He began the sparring session with the C Level Elder Brother.

…

“What?!”

The C Level Elder Brother, fabricated by the copy, spun around quickly, dodging a fatal blow aimed at his vitals.

Still, he could feel a charred hole, reeking of barbecued meat, burned right beneath his right chest rib.

Inside, his large and small intestines writhed—if his reflexes hadn’t been quick, if he hadn’t used his strength to contain it…

They would have probably burst forth…

“Damn it, I finally breached this guy’s defenses!”

From a distance, Colin’s eyes lit up, having fought normally for so long.

This was the first time!

This way of using flames was indeed correct!

With his vitality, he controlled every thread of flame, achieving precise operations, while also forcibly infusing the “Bonfire” with spirit and making it swirl inward…

The resultant destructive effect was quite powerful.

As long as it hit, even the C Level Elder Brother, who specialized in his own foundational abilities, couldn’t handle it.

However, even wounded so severely, the C Level Elder Brother’s movements did not stop. He kept his eyes on Colin, who was enhanced by the orange-red firelight, reached out, and pulled a 1.9-meter-long blade from the air.

Then, he took a step forward, and his figure disappeared on the spot.

Almost at the moment he vanished, dozens of blades that seemed to tear through space flew at him from all directions.

Seeing this, Colin, already somewhat exhausted, braced himself and used various methods to forcibly block most of them.

Unfortunately…

Due to the continuous fighting, his strength and vitality were rapidly depleting.

In a moment of carelessness, he was still cut by what seemed like a hair-like space slash.

The next instant, countless fine cracks appeared all over Colin’s body. Although he tried to control various powers to stitch them back up and continue the fight…

Unfortunately, starting from his navel, his upper and lower body began to separate.

He turned into 2.5 Colin, collapsing onto the ground.

Blood and a mass of steaming organs spilled out from the break in his upper body.

However, even with such an injury…

If there was no follow-up cut, he could stuff his organs back in and have the Little Maid or “Fire Tree” help with stitching, and after a while, he could revive himself and continue fighting.

Regrettably…

The C Level Elder Brother, now in a “frenzied” state, didn’t seem to have any intentions of letting him hang on.

A barrage of attacks followed immediately…

Colin’s body, lying on the ground, exploded further into countless pieces of flesh, thoroughly ending this self-selected trial copy.

…

“F*ck… did he really go so damn hard this time?”

As soon as Colin opened his eyes, he felt as if his entire body was aching unbearably.
