SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 586 - 586 451 The World Within the Demon Disaster_2

Chapter 586: Chapter 451 The World Within the Demon Disaster_2 Chapter 586: Chapter 451 The World Within the Demon Disaster_2 Combined with the Magic Fog aura swirling around it,

it was almost certain that it was a special monster contaminated by it.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Colin raised his hand and fired three 155mm bullets augmented with flame.

However, to his surprise, just as the bullets were about to hit the strange meatball, they were suddenly “clang” deflected.

“There’s even a Positional Shield?”

Colin was astonished, noticing that around the large meatball, there appeared a layer of grey protective barrier.

Its diamond-like patterns looked just like those of a Positional Shield.

And it was at that moment, the meatball with fluttering wings opened its mouth and spat out an eyeball almost the size of a person.

In an instant, a strong Mental Shock surged towards him.

Colin felt his head swell slightly…

The meatball harboring the eyeball in its mouth saw that Colin didn’t dodge and thought it had succeeded in controlling him; countless grey mists condensed on its eyeball, seemingly about to shoot out a grey-black laser.

But before the laser could be shot out…

“Boom” went the noise.

The entire meatball suddenly burst into flames as if it had been filled with gasoline and set on fire, burning in mid-air.

“Didn’t anyone teach you not to stare at people for no reason?”

Colin blinked his eyes.

This meatball’s strength wasn’t very high, not even comparable to a Third Level Containment Subject, just a creature that could be killed with a glance.

However, to his surprise, when the meatball exploded,

a scream suddenly came from a corner of the ruins of the city.

A human scream.

“Oh? An unexpected catch?”

Colin sensed that this meatball monster seemed to be controlled by someone?

In the next second, his figure flashed, appearing on top of a pile of ruins that seemed empty.

Then, he took a half-second to charge back and kicked fiercely.

With just one kick, he sent the ruins of a three-story building flying away.

At that moment, the scene beneath the ruins was also exposed to the air…

Inside was a small space, and within the space, there were three… or rather, one person?

Three bodies with normal upper halves, but the lower halves were grotesquely fused together like melted wax, appearing somewhat monstrous.

At that time, one of the bodies, dressed in the garb of the Heretic Forces, was holding its head and wailing incessantly.

It was clear that the creature had been under his control…

But when Colin arrived, his cries gradually stopped, and he was clearly not going to live much longer.

Luckily, the other two bodies fused with him were not dead.

“I’ve heard before coming here that some people worship the Magic Fog and even gain some power from it, it must be you then.”

Colin spoke as he approached this fused human.

The remaining two bodies looked like Heretic Believers, but they didn’t share the same creed.

“No, don’t kill me! He was the one who acted! It has nothing to do with me! Don’t…” one of the central position Heretic Believers screamed in panic, his emotions seemingly out of control as he sobbed and pleaded.

“Shut up.”

Colin scolded, waiting for them to quiet down before asking, “Have you seen the Light Church’s Saintess?”

“The Light Church… The Saintess… It’s her! Ahhh! It was her who made us like this! Oh, why couldn’t she just willingly sacrifice herself to fulfill us, why did she prefer to save those lowlifes and not us important people, it’s all her…”

The Heretic Believer on the left, dressed in a blue robe, shouted as if triggered.

But before he could finish, a flame flashed by.

This “important person” was instantly turned to char and died…

“I don’t want to die!” Seeing this, the central position Heretic Believer screamed out in terror, also feeling intense pain.

“Tell me, what is her situation now!”

Flames expanded around Colin, radiating a powerful presence.

“She… After she forcibly rescued those lowlifes, she encountered an ambush. Many powerful forces joined hands, but, she left, she left, she got away…”

The central Heretic Believer, somewhat delirious, spoke in a trembling voice.

Hearing this, Colin let out a sigh of relief.

Although he had presumed that she had probably escaped,

he was still anxious until he got confirmation.

“How long ago did she leave?” Colin continued to ask.

“It seems like a long time, a few days, a few months? Or years… I can’t remember clearly… I…”

“Next question, in which direction did she escape?”

In the Magic Fog, even with the enhanced sense of smell from “Beast Transformation Syndrome,” Colin couldn’t detect any useful scent.

Here, it seemed only the original source of “Beast Transformation Syndrome” itself might be able to pick up the trail.

“She…”

The Heretic Believer at the center hadn’t finished speaking when a terrifying power suddenly surged from the distance.

With it came the shaking of the earth and the sound of heavy footsteps from afar, still oppressively heavy despite the distance.

‘At least a Level 2 Containment Subject’s strength…’

Colin furrowed his brow, sensing that the creature was coming for him.

The Sound Blast emitted as it walked vibrated his eardrums…

In the darkness, it had already locked on to him.

‘When Kě’ài duō investigated the outer areas, it took nearly two days to encounter an entity of this level. Yet here, I’ve only shown up for twenty minutes, and a big one is already on me…’

The risks within the core area were indeed higher than he had anticipated.

However, judging that it would take some time for it to arrive, Colin continued to focus his attention on the Heretic Believer before him.

But this time, the terrifying pressure seemed to have restored the man’s reasoning, and he suddenly had a thought: “No, if I tell you, you have to take me away, you have to save me! Otherwise, I won’t talk! You must save me…”

“So much nonsense, speak or not!”

Colin punched him directly, bursting his chest.

“Why…”

The Heretic Believer’s eyes widened, looking at the flaming hole in his chest in disbelief: “Weren’t you… wanting to know…”

‘The moment the mission came up, you lost your value.’

Colin snapped his fingers, following the teachings of Big C Teacher, allowing the flames to consume the monsters before him, and finished them off.

At this moment, a mission notification popped up on his retina.

[Mission Event: “Assist ‘Saint Sana’ in escaping danger…”]

Note: Please follow the guidance to proceed and rescue Saint Sana…

…

Colin squinted his eyes, sensing briefly, certain of one thing:

“Without the ‘Lady Rabbit’s’ stamp and it appearing before my eyes instead of in my mind, it seems the mission is from a branch office…”

If it was a mission dispatched officially by the company, it would have appeared directly in his mind.

Not on his retina…

However, under the current circumstances, whether he could immediately act on this mission was still not a decision easily made.

Because it could possibly be a trap mission…

If he was led into dangerous territory, even Colin would not have an easy time.

‘The Rat isn’t here, so it’s likely not a trap mission, which is somewhat reassuring.’

‘Yeah, and based on what is currently known, The Rat, now under close watch by ‘Lady Rabbit,’ wouldn’t dare to make any significant moves, so he should be hiding.’

On Earth, ‘Lady Rabbit’s’ influence was slightly weaker, but not necessarily here, so The Rat wouldn’t dare take risks.’

After some thought, Colin believed there should be no issue and began to sense the details of the mission.

First…

He vaguely felt that this mission annoyingly seemed to have no reward.

The kind without a single point!

“Damn…”

Colin cursed under his breath, though he didn’t care too much.

After all, points were extraneous to him, 100,000 points wouldn’t trade for The Light Chaser’s life.

If she were harmed, the loss would be too great.

Not to mention the emotional aspect, but just in practical terms, it would mean Colin would be missing an essential card in his hand.

Furthermore, through this mission, Colin could barely sense the position of the Saintess, but could only ascertain a general direction, failing to perceive more specific details or her exact condition…

“The tracking methods of the branch office seem to be many levels inferior to those of the main company…”

Colin was somewhat displeased.

But, although the sensing wasn’t very clear, he could still determine the approximate location and distance. With luck, he might find the area within ten hours. If unlucky, it could take more than a day…

Overall, however, this was much better than his initial plan.

Based on his original thoughts upon arrival, he feared he might not see anyone for the whole week, or even find the vicinity of the other person…

In that case, by then it’s unknown whether he would find a person or a corpse.
