SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 584 - 584 450 Arriving at the Battlefield_2

Chapter 584: Chapter 450: Arriving at the Battlefield_2 Chapter 584: Chapter 450: Arriving at the Battlefield_2 Its words, coupled with the “inspiration” in Colin’s knowledge, allowed him to quickly understand the greatest probability of the “Magic Fog.”

“World Code-13” is much larger than a typical World Code, and the reason for its size is due to Rosen merging some other useful World Codes into this one in the past.

Among them, it is possible that the Containment Subject of a certain World Code was not completely resolved.

Then there might have been some interference…

The abnormal aura that overflowed from within, to the “King of Savage Sound”, if made analogous, would be equivalent to the pus oozing out of rotting human corpses.

And it’s not just from one person…

‘Looking at it this way, the “King of Mad Sounds” didn’t lie to me when it said it’s like the pus from a stack of high-grade corpses rotting together.’

Colin nodded and continued to inquire, “So, is there anything in particular we should be cautious about in dealing with it?”

“Ordinary life forms need to be wary of many things, especially the ‘Magic Fog’ itself. It has an extremely strong corruption quality, posing a threat to both Second Level and Third Level Containment Subjects… However, for you, it’s not a problem…”

“Why?”

“Because of its life experience, that kind of fog will instinctively fear the power of ‘Primordial Fire.’ With the ‘Primordial Fire’ upon you, even an ordinary person need not be afraid. So, the only thing you need to be careful of are the corrupt creatures that have derived from the ‘Magic Fog’…”

As he said this, “King of Madness” carefully made a sound:

“However, if you are willing to release me, then… although my strength has diminished, I can still fend off those ignorant, feeble beings for you…”

Tch… Colin didn’t speak, merely looking at it with an indifferent expression, causing its voice to gradually fade away, without continuing.

Clearly, releasing it now is not an option.

However, after a pause, “King of Madness” seemed to have thought of something, “Right, I have a small question. I gather from your words that you intend to enter that area to look for something?”

“Right.”

Colin nodded, “Do you have something to say?”

“If you have an exact location, perhaps I could offer some minor assistance in that regard.”

“Oh? Continue.”

Colin was taken aback, listening to this; could the “King of Madness,” a disgrace among First Level Containment Subjects, offer not only knowledge but also some method of teleportation or positioning?

If true, that would be an unexpected gain.

“If you need, I can find a way to quickly teleport you to a labyrinth in the nearby area. These labyrinths cover the vast majority of this world, and I can use my powers to move within them and send you there…”

Labyrinths covering the vast majority of the world? Is this damned place that big?

Colin was surprised in his heart, but for the moment, he did not agree.

Because he was not quite certain whether this creature would secretly play dirty tricks…

From a few encounters with this entity, Colin had come to a basic understanding of its nature.

At this moment, seemingly sensing Colin’s hesitation, “King of Madness” assured, “If you are concerned, I am willing to make a commitment under the witness of the ‘Bonfire Company’, swearing not to have any ulterior motives…”

If it’s with the “Bonfire Company” as a witness, then indeed he could feel at ease.

Only…

‘Weird, why do I feel like it’s being especially proactive this time around?’

Colin looked at the other party with a hint of suspicion.

If it were any other time, he wouldn’t accept help from the other party, no matter how proactive, just to avoid risks.

But this time, in an urgent situation, it might be worth a try…

Even if it doesn’t work out, he should be able to withdraw in time.

“Then swear it,” Colin nodded.

Hearing this, “King of Madness” didn’t delay, and in a solemn tone, it declared, “Under the witness of the ‘Bonfire Camp Special Item Containment Company’, I promise, this assistance will bear no malice…”

As the full name of the company was spoken, Colin could clearly sense some indescribable entity, centering on himself, turning its gaze upon this place.

“King of Madness” shivered noticeably when it felt this presence.

If it were still the being it once was, then even upon sensing the company, it would merely back away driven by instincts of seeking benefit and avoiding harm. But now, it had begun to exhibit feelings of fear.

However, in the end, under a certain pressure, it fulfilled the promise…

“Very well.”

Although it was still unclear why this First Level Containment Subject suddenly became so compliant, once Colin was certain the promise had taken effect, he did not refuse its help any longer and took out the map he had just obtained.

“Can you take me to this place called the Golden City?”

Colin pointed to a spot on the map.

If he were to go there normally, even he would probably need a day or two. And with the threat of the Magic Fog, it could take three or four days.

By then, he might not be able to make it in time.

However, upon hearing Colin’s words, the “King of Mad Sounds” shook its head, indicating it was not clear:

“These creatures make too little noise; even if they blew up a mountain, it would be hard to sense. However…”

Seeing that the “Flame Bearer” looked somewhat indifferent, it changed its words, “Before I was sealed in the past, I had observed this world and knew roughly where this is—if I remember correctly, nearby, not long ago, there were some fluctuations, seemingly from a battle, and one of the parties seemed to be connected to the company…”

This was also why it had previously been able to guess that Colin’s question about the “Disaster of Magic Fog” might be related to looking for something.

A battle? The Saintess?

Without thinking much, Colin’s instinct told him he was probably right, and he decisively chose: “Then take me to the vicinity of the place where you said the battle took place, the closer the better.”

“Okay.” The shadow formed by the “King of Mad Sounds” at a special frequency nodded and, after confirming the location, said cautiously:

“Now…I need you to remove the flames on your body, as well as some of your defenses.”

Upon hearing this, Colin frowned, but with the promise made earlier, he chose to comply.

The next second, the shadow of the “King of Mad Sounds” suddenly spread out, eagerly pouncing like a starving wolf, and enveloped him into its body…

It was at this moment that Colin felt a certain shape transformation occurring.

His entire being became a set of special frequencies…

Then, he traveled at an incredibly fast speed, weaving through the undergound labyrinth.

‘These First Level Containment Subjects, each with their methods and so-called ‘powers,’ truly are bizarre. No wonder Big C Teacher fell victim before he forcibly became a “Flame Bearer”…’

Experiencing the methods of a First Level Containment Subject’s powers up close for the first time, Colin couldn’t help but feel a bit shocked.

Just a few minutes later…

In a corridor similar to the underground maze, Colin’s figure emerged from the special state.

“We’ve arrived. If you go out through this cave, you’ll reach your destination…” the “King of Mad Sounds” said on the side.

After a pause, he added, “If you need help again, please feel free to call on me.”

“Mhm.”

Colin nodded, not dwelling on it any further. His body’s flames blazed fiercely as he leaped forward into the cave.

From his senses…

Outside, there truly was an aura left by the Saintess!

And behind him, the “King of Mad Sounds” did not leave but made a gesture as if staring at his back, seemingly pondering something.

The reason it had helped him so proactively this time was that it faintly sensed something unique…

Its opportunities to leave were becoming scarcer…

Although it did not excel much in divination and such arts, its essence was that of an “Ancient God,” a being not to be underestimated in spiritual perception.

A strong intuition told it that in a few months, there might be a major change.

This period was its last chance to strive to leave…

If it did not seize this opportunity, then it might…

End up as one of the rotting corpses in the “Disaster of Magic Fog.”
