SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 552 - 552 436 Request from Lady Bunny_2

Chapter 552: Chapter 436 Request from “Lady Bunny”_2 Chapter 552: Chapter 436 Request from “Lady Bunny”_2 After all, if it worked on a First Level Containment Subject, it was even less of a challenge for him.

“Higher Life Form, is this referring to an Upper-Level First-Class Containment Entity? Indeed, that’s impressive, it’s just a shame it can only be used once…”

Gripping the arrow tightly in his hand and confirming how to use it, Colin slipped the item into his pocket.

Then, he turned his attention to the next object, also contained in a brown leather mailbag—

A dark robe adorned with countless tiny points of light, translucent.

“…’Starlight Maiden’?”

Was this creature fated to be turned into an artifact after all?

But no, on closer examination, Colin realized this was only part of it, not the entirety of the ‘Starlight Maiden.’

It was at this moment that the relevant details emerged.

Upon reading them, Colin’s expression twitched, suddenly becoming quite animated.

[‘Skirt of Myriad Starlight’: A temporary item fabricated from materials taken from a special containment subject, which, when worn, can perfectly imitate the appearance of the ‘Starlight Maiden’ for three hours…]

[Exclusive Feature ‘Dawn’s Light’: Can simulate a fake but incredibly realistic ‘God Descent’ ceremony.]

[Note: Perhaps it should be paired with a pair of black stockings?]

…

“The skirt…”

Colin held the beautiful clothing in his right hand, his left hand covering his mouth, silent for a moment.

However, the good news was…

Through this garment, it was clear that ‘Lady Rabbit’ was supportive of his overall grand plan.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have stripped the ‘Starlight Maiden’ of her clothing to dress him in it, no, more precisely, it wasn’t clothing but a garment fashioned from the materials of her body…

“Why couldn’t it have been a robe or something?”

Colin had no intention of trying it on immediately and disregarded the teasing note, stowing it straight into the ‘Storage Room.’

He then picked up the next item.

This time, the object was not encased in parchment but in a clear plastic shell.

Inside the plastic case were two size D batteries.

The batteries were transparent from the vertical midpoint, and through this clarity, Colin saw that each battery contained a creature resembling a starfish.

Upon a glance, he recognized these as the energy-generating creatures he had captured when boarding the starship.

They seemed to be called something like a Sixth Level Containment Subject with the code 6-978341.

“I almost forgot about this thing…”

Colin pursed his lips, recalling that this device could produce several dozen kilowatts of electricity in an hour…

Although for ‘Bonfire Company,’ it was deemed low in maximum output and poor in stability and thus not highly valued.

But for Earth, it was a different story; a single battery could produce several dozen kilowatts of electricity in an hour, enough to overcharge a car if simply attached to one found on the streets…

However, the company didn’t just give him two batteries.

Beyond the batteries, there was also a manual about the thickness of a fist, detailing the intricacies of this object.

“This containment subject’s battery will not cause instability in ‘reality,’ and its manufacturing process is not complex; below are the detailed manufacturing procedures…”

Colin followed the manual and saw first the metals needed for creating the special container to hold the anomaly, the manufacturing process, and so on…

The densely packed, dazzling formulas made Colin feel as though he were under a mental attack just by glancing at them.

His rationality kept taking hit after hit…

And the section purely about the manufacturing materials spanned dozens of pages.

It went on to cover the cultivation of the creatures, the purification and conversion of electricity, how to avoid explosions, etc…

Moreover, to ensure comprehension by the people of Earth, all formulas and manufacturing processes used were applicable on Earth and contained no unnecessary unknown content.

Still, even so, to Colin…

This object was essentially a ‘book from heaven.’

“Hiss, I’d rather face an Ancient God than deal with this thing.”

Colin took a deep breath; his brain worked incredibly fast, but being fast didn’t mean he understood, and understanding didn’t guarantee he could apply the knowledge.

Some things, if you don’t know, you just don’t know.

Of course, if he set his mind to learning, it felt possible to get to grips with it entirely.

But for him, it didn’t seem to carry too much significance.

“I just need to know a rough idea. The rest, let the officials worry about. If this works out well, who knows, the so-called energy crisis in the world might get solved in a short time…”

“However, once this thing can be mass-produced, those who sell resources might be in for some bad luck…”

Colin thought with a sense of schadenfreude.

The emergence of such super “biological batteries” would undoubtedly be a good thing for humanity as a whole.

But for a small group of interest groups that made a living from this, not so much…

Colin figured that if it weren’t for his special status, the moment he took out this “battery,” he might be found dead at home the next day with seventeen bullet wounds in his back from an apparent suicide.

But now…

As some dangerous ideas began to surface in people’s minds,

they might not even require his intervention; those people could just vanish into thin air without a trace.

Picking up his phone, he informed Xu Duojin to come collect the items the next day, then Colin stored the object temporarily and noticed a letter at the very bottom of the briefcase…

After opening it, inside was a message that was not particularly long.

The content was brief, basically two points.

The first point was about cooperation with the “Infinite Train”; such collaboration was not out of the question, but the specifics of cooperation were quite different from what the officials had in mind…

The authorities mainly sought to intervene in various incidents as early as possible through the special properties of the “Infinite Train”.

But “Lady Rabbit’s” message indicated she could not do this. The reason was not explained, but what she could do was provide a retreat for humanity in the event of a future catastrophic crisis.

To massively transfer afflicted individuals from around the world to a safe area and wait for the future…

Similarly, she required a formal transit authorization document from all over Earth, which needed to be effective with at least ninety percent of the sovereign nations’ approval.

“Playing it so official, huh?”

Colin clicked his tongue, but if it were just that, he reckoned places around the world would probably compromise.

Or rather, after The Five Wicked agreed, there was no room for others to disagree.

If there were voices of dissent and those dissenting people disappeared, then there would be no dissenting voices left.

It was one of the things they were best at doing.

If a doomsday disaster were to erupt in the future,

ensuring one in ten people survived would already be considered incredibly lucky. Now, having the chance to have an additional way out, they would almost certainly agree…

However, the second request that followed was likely to cause some controversy.

“Lady Rabbit,” aside from the aforementioned demands, also wanted them to grant a portion of the core permissions for “world barriers” for better execution of her operations here…

As for which specific items she needed and how they would be used, that was not specified.

“This… might be contentious.”

Not just the officials, even Colin himself couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease, as though a plot was about to be uncovered.

It was foreseeable that the first point would probably pass.

The second point… was not so definite.

“But if ‘Lady Rabbit’ really has some sort of plan for this place, what exactly is she after? And the ‘world barriers,’ they don’t seem all that powerful for the company. Do they really need authorization…”

Colin pondered for a moment. It seemed like Earth wasn’t exactly rich; it lacked high technology and high-end power. As for some irreplaceable anomaly…

Seemingly not?

Of course, it could also be limited by his own understanding, Colin simply couldn’t guess the reason.

Sweeping aside that thought, Colin decided to continue to leave this issue for the leaders above to worry about, then looked toward the second matter at hand.

“Next week heading to ‘World Code-4’? Is everything settled over there?”

The first thing Colin remembered was that formidable mixed task force composed of many elites.

That team had gone there for some unknown reason…

Now it seemed they must have completed the mission, and he might have to go on behalf of the company to finalize things.

The letter mentioned it would just involve signing some agreements or similar things, normally without any danger.
