SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 551 - 551 436 Request from Lady Bunny_1

Chapter 551: Chapter 436 Request from “Lady Bunny”_1 Chapter 551: Chapter 436 Request from “Lady Bunny”_1 “Clank, clank,” the train sounds gradually faded away…

Colin didn’t pay too much attention to this.

After all, it seemed like the problem wasn’t too big; otherwise, the logistics staff would have said something to him.

If they didn’t say anything, then there should be no problem.

Afterward, as the train went off into the distance and the grey fog dissipated, Colin completed this small task involving the transaction.

Then, he happily received one thousand points + a gold mission voucher.

“Not too bad…”

For a simple intermediary task that was handsomely rewarding, in which he hadn’t done much except ensure that some transactions went through, the compensation was quite decent.

Unfortunately, it didn’t include the item extraction ticket that Colin needed most.

“Looks like, barring any accidents, I can only get it from that task in a few days. Fortunately, this lottery is after January fifth. Anytime’s fine, not just that one day.”

Colin collected his thoughts, waved his hand, and immediately, the flames vanished as he thought it.

It was when the flames disappeared…

Some sort of enclosed status was broken, and on one side of the hall, a door was slowly opened after emitting three “bangs.”

Xu Duojin and others who had already been waiting for some time peeked inside when they saw all the abnormal items had vanished, and Colin stood still. They immediately had a rough guess about the outcome of the transaction process.

If everything had gone as expected, there shouldn’t have been any accidents.

Thinking this, Xu Duojin saw a look of confusion on Colin’s face. Thinking there might have been an accident, he quickly approached and asked,

“How did it go?”

While speaking, he was afraid of hearing Colin say that, by some accident, a few had run off.

That would be a bit of a headache…

These things, although not very high in level and not particularly destructive—at worst, they could kill a family in one go—but dealing with them was extremely troublesome, like a ticking time bomb, always potentially on the loose.

“It went pretty smoothly.”

Colin added, “The next ‘item’ feedback should be in about a month. Of course, exactly how long is uncertain…”

Hearing that everything went smoothly, Xu Duojin breathed a sigh of relief, “No problem, there’s no rush.”

These “time bombs” were the kind that they’d prefer to get rid of, even if it meant paying someone to take them off their hands.

Of course, if there were any gains, they wouldn’t refuse them either.

After speaking, a woman dressed like a secretary beside Xu Duojin sent out an invitation to Colin, seemingly wanting to invite him to a celebration party…

However, Colin wasn’t too interested and directly declined, saying he had things to do and needed to leave.

He roughly understood that it was probably the personnel from the neighboring area who wanted to discuss something with him or show good faith—a kind of social favor…

But Colin had no need to waste his energy on social exchanges.

“Compared to this, I’d better go back and see what kind of good stuff ‘Lady Bunny’ has brought me this time.”

Thinking this, when Colin boarded the helicopter to return home, he first communicated over the phone and let Qin Chuan and the others leave without waiting for him. After reaching his destination, he had Xiao Yin transform into a wheelchair and immediately sat on it.

…

“Swoosh.”

A breeze blew by…

A man walking his dog by the road was completely baffled. He wondered if it was an illusion, but did he just see a glowing wheelchair zoom past at a speed barely visible to the naked eye?

“What’s wrong?” asked a woman who appeared to be his partner.

“Nothing, just thought my eyes were playing tricks on me…”

After all, even if there had really been a wheelchair that zipped by at speeds over 120 kilometers per hour, it wouldn’t be possible for it to not slow down on turns and be silent, would it?

That would defy science.

With this in mind, the staunch materialist continued to walk his dog.

Approximately two hours after leaving the perimeter of Base No. 5, Colin returned home. He pocketed the “Emblem of the Humility Knight” and stepped off the silver wheelchair.

In the process, the “wheelchair” gathered itself and shrunk into a metallic ball, floating and following behind him.

Considerately helping Colin with the door and shutting it behind him.

“Wonder what she’s brought this time.”

Colin sat down on the living room sofa, took out the small suitcase, and opened it.

It contained many items, but on top were several sealed brown leather envelopes.

With curiosity, he opened the topmost envelope and found a black arrow without feathers inside…

It emitted a kind of disturbing aura that made one’s heart uneasy.

“What is this…?”

Colin raised an eyebrow, feeling a sense of familiarity with the aura. After thinking for a bit, he quickly remembered that this aura was similar to that of the special scepter he had obtained before.

Only, this time it lacked that decayed, rotting sensation…

As the remarks related to it emerged, he learned what it was.

An orange consumable.

[“Thorn Punishment”: Originates from the malice of a higher life form. Once the target is locked and this item is used to throw at them, it can immediately fix them in place, effective on many first-level containment subjects…]

[Exclusive Feature “Unswerving”: Once this attack is locked and used, it cannot be retracted, is very hard to defend against, and very hard to escape…]

[Note: One-time use.]

…

“So this is the leftover thing from that scepter?”

Colin examined the arrow in his hand, tuning in carefully, and he was certain it was the right one.

Back on the starship, if he had been hit with the scepter imbued with this thing, he probably would have been fixed in place and killed on the spot…
