Chapter 630: Chapter 471 The “Colossal Buddha Statue” in the Darkness_1 Chapter 630: Chapter 471 The “Colossal Buddha Statue” in the Darkness_1 “Retreating proactively? Knowing fear indicates it has certain instincts as an anomaly.”

Colin glanced over there.

Many anomalies lack any instinct, reacting naturally, as if impelled to clash head-on even when sensing the power of “Primordial Fire”…

Clearly, this one did not belong to that brainless category.

“I came here to take the train and didn’t burn you, which was a show of respect on my part. I hope you won’t be ungrateful.”

Colin withdrew his gaze and continued to wait with his phone in hand.

He didn’t specifically check what was inside the mine, but he could generally tell there was a tomb-like structure below, with the source right in the middle. As for the threat level, it wasn’t even Third Level…

No, to be more accurate, it might be on the cusp of a Fifth or Sixth Level Containment Subject as per the company’s standards.

At Fifth Level, it might barely withstand a punch and half a kick from him.

Sixth Level… Normally, the heat waves from the flames he set off by merely passing by could directly incinerate it…

If it wasn’t for his concern that dealing with it might stop the train from coming,

Colin could have resolved this problem in less than a minute with a wave of his hand.

As he waited, twenty-some minutes passed quickly…

Unnoticed, a hazy grey mist began to envelop the surroundings, and vibrations emanated from within.

The mist grew denser…

And then, accompanied by the monotonous, pale sound of a flute.

“Clang clang clang~”

The sound of the train grinding on the rails reached him.

Colin distinctly felt a moment of trance, and by the time he came to his senses, he saw a train, marked with various traces, gradually slowing down in front of him…

As before, neither the head nor the tail could be seen.

It seemed that every time it stopped, one could only see the middle section that was about to halt.

“At my current level, I still can’t discern the specifications of this train?”

Colin was secretly astonished.

He now felt that his consciousness was becoming much faster at combating that sense of haziness.

But still, what couldn’t be seen remained out of sight.

“Click~”

The crisp sound of a door opening interrupted Colin’s thoughts.

He composed himself, stepped forward, and was about to board when he suddenly saw three people at the door of the train, with faces full of surprise and doubt looking back at him.

Colin frowned at first, but quickly through some perception confirmed they should be employees.

By their physical condition, they seemed to be roughly at E Level; he wasn’t quite sure, but… that wasn’t something to fuss over.

To avoid accidentally missing the train as it was about to leave, Colin headed into the train first. The moment he stepped in, the intangible trance faded away.

The three people preparing to disembark stared at this fiery figure with hesitation, unsure if they should pass by him.

‘All that big talk in the company chat group, acting as if they’re the center of the universe, yet in person, they become this ‘nervous’…’

Colin shook his head, displaying his white teeth, and his lips curved into a friendly smile:

“Go ahead, or the train might leave without you.”

As he spoke, he casually took out two cylindrical metal objects from his pocket and tossed them over.

An employee, not sensing any danger, caught them as if they were cigarettes being passed along. When he realized what they were, a chill ran down his spine—these were two grenades!

Thankfully, the grenades were not armed.

“Consider it a small token of assistance from an ordinary D Level senior…”

Colin smiled: “If you encounter the anomaly itself, or a particularly dangerous situation, you can just detonate these close by. If all goes well, you might either eliminate the anomaly or ensure your survival.”

These grenades weren’t of much significance to him now.

But for them, they could be quite effective. Although a regular person might not control the flames upon detonation, after all, they contained a bit of “Flame Bearer’s Grease.”

So, should they run into trouble, even a Third Level Containment Subject might have to steer clear.

“Thank you…” The three exchanged glances, expressed their thanks, and quickly disembarked—not that they didn’t want to ask “Why are you helping us?” or something like that.

But they had no time to linger, or they wouldn’t be able to leave.

The train only paused for a few minutes before resuming its journey; there was simply no time for lengthy exchanges.

As for those grenades…

Unsure if they harbored any hidden traps, they resolved to try them out in a dire situation if they had no other choice.

‘Good, with this, their chances of handling the anomaly should be maxed out. As long as they don’t mess up with the controls, they should not lose.’

Colin’s gaze left the group of people.

Regarding anomalies on Earth, he was indifferent if he didn’t see them, but once he did, he generally wouldn’t mind casually dealing with them, lest they spawn something odd and troublesome.

Of course, it was also a bit of goodwill for the employees’ growth.

Such encounters could also be considered a form of fate.

Then, Colin moved towards the interior of the carriage, keeping his flames alight as he surveyed the surroundings.

He could clearly sense that on some seats, there existed some kind of unseen “people.”

Usually, as long as one didn’t interact with them for too long, they posed no harm.

At most, they just made one’s skin crawl a little…

Now, although Colin had the power to deal with these “people,” he refrained from wasting too much time on these endless entities.

Because even if he killed them, more would just come from the front cars after a while.

Who knows if dealing with them excessively might cause other troubles.
