SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 687 - 687 504

Chapter 687: 504 Chapter 687: 504 Back then, even separated by a train, that thing dared to look at himself and even provoked him, and Colin couldn’t bear to think what it would do next.

Seeing Colin about to set out, Xu Duojin waved his hand, signaling for him to remain calm, and then said:

“It’s okay, Mr. Wu took matters into his own hands and exiled it along with the small spatial area it was in… during your absence yesterday.”

“Old Master Wu, he exiled it?”

Colin raised an eyebrow, “Can it be brought back? I won’t feel at ease until this thing is burnt to ashes.”

“Uh, mainly because that thing is indeed a bit troublesome, and at one point it nearly invaded over, hard to deal with, so Mr. Wu exiled it…”

“But…” Colin still felt uneasy, it was too strange.

It wasn’t about how formidable it was but that inexplicable, spine-chilling feeling, similar to “fate”.

And from that one glance, he was aware that this wasn’t something that could be destroyed easily…

However, before he could speak further, Xu Duojin said, “Don’t rush, rest assured, Old Wu, oh, I misspoke, Mr. Wu has thrown it into a place from which it absolutely cannot escape, a place that can very tightly restrain it.”

The name “Old Master Wu”, others could address him that way, but those from “Fate Propeller” following suit…

With a few more mentions, their luck might take a slight turn for the worse.

As for why, nobody hinted at anyone specifically, surely only the knowledgeable understand.

“Which place?” Colin began to grow curious.

“Quite a while ago, we referred to it as the ‘chaotic unknown world of destiny,’ ‘world of the convergence of all things’ fate,’ and so on, but after the company appeared, we got a clearer and more accurate name… ‘City of Scripts’.”

Good heavens…

Colin was taken aback, they really restrained it thoroughly.

Playing with “fate,” “destiny”… “City of Scripts” might suppress it to the point of not being able to raise its head.

Even, perhaps after some time, “City of Scripts” might gain a beautiful girl sitting on a lotus dais, causing it to birth a new “human” self, thus achieving a harmless state like “Yukionna”, making it tameable…

It’s just unknown which of the script worlds of “City of Scripts” it was thrown into.

‘Hehe, if it ends up in “Script City: Horror Zone,” then those employees undergoing E-D Level promotion trials will be quite blessed.’

‘However, according to my knowledge, there’s a high probability it went to “Passionate Paradise”…’

Colin thought to himself, at the time he entered the incident, he had also seen heretic believers and some official personnel trapped within, with whom he had a certain level of cooperation.

Unfortunately, they weren’t in very good condition.

Without any accidents, the possibility of them still being alive now is quite low.

After all, back then, not just them, Colin and others nearly perished and failed to escape.

But more than that, Colin realized something from the conversation just now; the official investigation into “City of Scripts” seemed quite thorough, could Old Master Wu even utilize it to some extent?

This…

Colin pursed his lips, remembering he had once advised them to try not to have too deep of a contact with these things.

It seems Old Master Wu had listened, but only listened.

‘But then again, “Fate Propeller,” a pathway deeply tied to the “Book of Fate,” if it doesn’t have any interaction with “City of Scripts,” that would be odd…’

Taking a deep breath, Colin suppressed the thoughts flashing through his mind and directly asked:

“What do you guys know about this ‘City of Scripts’?”

“Asking me, you’re really asking the wrong person.”

Xu Duojin seemed to have anticipated this question, shaking his head while saying, “This is top-secret, in this world, the related investigation is personally conducted by Mr. Wu, besides him, we probably know less than you do.

“If you want to know, you could ask him, but most likely there won’t be an answer, as the matter is very dangerous, it entails the risk of contamination simply by knowing…”

“Alright.”

Colin didn’t continue to ask further, knowing he probably truly didn’t have the information.

As for Old Master Wu, he always found him mysterious, the only Level 9 “Fate Propeller” and the person closest to the suspected Level 0 entity that goes by the name of a book.

He seemed to, just like Lady Bunny, be arranging some unknown things through various events.

No one knew exactly what he was doing.

Even in a sense, they didn’t know whether it was good or bad.

Moreover, others couldn’t predict their actions at all, after all, something named “Book of Fate” was “standing” behind him; even the so-called ancient god’s descent couldn’t see through his thoughts.

“Speaking of which, after taking a walk outside, I realized that the most dangerous things seem to be here on Earth,”

Colin suddenly couldn’t help saying.

“Oh? The most dangerous things are here with us?”

Xu Duojin exclaimed in surprise. He had heard some company employees say that the “Descent Project” in other worlds was the most dangerous because the crises there had no upper limit.

From what he had heard, whether it was fighting aliens flashing red lights in outer space, constructing territories next to apocalyptic grey smog disasters, worlds made entirely of water, or gigantic starships, there were all sorts of weird worlds…

Listening to this, Xu Duojin felt it was magical, no, it was sci-fi.

If he didn’t know it was real, he would have thought it was fake.

But now, this “foremost authority on external exploration” suddenly said that Earth was the most dangerous after making the rounds, making Xu Duojin feel a bit panicked…

“Well…”

Colin thought aloud, “The thing is, the situations here haven’t blown up yet, but once they do, it’s hard to say.”

Here there’s “Red Moon,” and “Book of Fate,” unclear dealings with “City of Scripts,” and all the actions of Lady Bunny also seem to be arrangements made for this side.

Right, there’s also that “Rat” who smuggled in.

Even beyond Earth, there are many eyes casting their gaze through various means, attempting to come ashore.

So many miscellaneous things piled up together, and key is that none of them are minor; just picking one out could lead to an apocalyptic disaster…

“If it were to blow up, Earth, well, forget Earth, it’s hard to say whether the Solar System could withstand it,” Colin said without knowing why there was so much stuff accumulated here.

He guessed it probably had something to do with the company’s past people, but he was not quite sure.

However, if it was the company from that era, none of these issues would be problems, and even “Red Moon,” “Book of Fate,” and the like, which were unsolvable for them now, might probably have been just a game for the company back then.

End of the world or whatever…

If they dared to have such a notion, the company might turn them into a twin-tailed loli who can only say “meow” the next second…

But today is different from the past, the company staff disappeared in an instant, and fortune has taken a turn.

The unfortunate ones who can only say “meow meow meow” have become them.

“Don’t panic, everything is so stable now, as long as we’re careful, we should be able to maintain it for quite a while. When the company returns one day, all troubles will no longer be troubles…”

Colin simply comforted Xu Duojin and then shifted the subject:

“Right, have you gathered the information about that island in Bengkulu Bay and the corresponding situation?”

Before the other party arrived, he had inquired about the so-called Southern Bodhisattva information. With so much time passed, given Xu Duojin’s abilities, he should have been able to gather the intelligence.

“Yes.”

Xu Duojin did not disappoint, nodding his head and pulling out a strange statuette from his pocket:

“These heretic believers also appeared within our territory, but were expelled in the end. This is the entity they worshipped…”

Colin looked at the statuette, which had an octopus head, a human body, and was squatting on a square stone.

Holding the object in hand and examining it closely, there was a fishy smell of the sea.

It was somewhat sinister, but not much.

Then, he looked up at Xu Duojin, waiting for him to explain what exactly it was.
