SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 694 - 694 508 Its an honor to be a bonfire dog

Chapter 694: Chapter 508 It’s an honor to be a bonfire dog, unlike some wild dogs…_1 Chapter 694: Chapter 508 It’s an honor to be a bonfire dog, unlike some wild dogs…_1 “No, this is a ‘Containment Divine Kingdom,’ a special containment facility directly controlled by the sole conscious mind of Rosen. Not just anyone can influence it. At most, the local subsidiary company only has surveillance authority, along with some emergency intervention rights outside, but lacking the ability to deal with me any further…”

The tone of the “King of Madness” inexplicably rose a bit.

You’re locked up and you’re smug about it… Colin couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.

Sometimes, among containment subjects, inexplicable competitive spirits arise, baffling to anyone witnessing them.

Of course, this could also be considered an aspect of the “humanity” the other party displayed.

Then…

Noticing something in the other party’s words, Colin’s mind started whirring, realizing something intriguing…

‘If things are as usual, the ‘Subsidiary’ might be left by Rosen, but it actually can’t handle the containment subjects inside this so-called ‘Containment Divine Kingdom’?’ Colin thought contemplatively.

This subsidiary doesn’t have as much authority as I thought…

Following that, Colin inquired about the specific situation of the “Containment Divine Kingdom.”

“Generally speaking, those who are locked up here are considered of significant value to the company, which is why I was allowed inside…”

The “King of Madness” quietly boosted his own value.

Colin didn’t argue with this point; it was hard to say what the combat abilities of the “King of Madness” were, but its special authority, related to vibrations and such, did hold considerable research value.

He continued listening as the “King of Madness” went on:

“Besides Rosen himself, if others want to deal with me, all they can do is report upwards, wait for instructions, or in special circumstances, employ another ‘Flame Bearer’ for emergency handling. So, you need not worry about what impact it can have on me, it can’t even force me into labor dispatch.”

Nowadays, with the “messenger” from above standing next to it, what’s there to fear from a mere local subsidiary?

That’s why it replied there was no need to worry.

Even if the subsidiary wanted to handle things themselves, their reports and applications wouldn’t go through. In its view, the higher-ups might be tied up with other matters at the moment, but once they were free, they could deal with the subsidiary in minutes.

“They can even dispatch for labor?” Colin stood on the spot, raising an eyebrow.

“Yes, some of the more cooperative containment subjects are sometimes dispatched through certain methods to handle troublesome tasks, and the uncooperative ones have their power transferred to machines in some way to be driven…”

“6.”

Colin opened his mouth, only to utter that one number.

“Isn’t that risky? Aren’t you afraid they’ll run away?” he couldn’t help but curiously ask.

“There is a risk, some containment subjects might not cooperate and cause destruction upon being sent out, but as for escaping, that’d be impossible.”

Although subtle, Colin still heard a hint of helplessness and resignation in the tone of the “King of Madness”:

“High-value containment subjects are the company’s important assets. I’m unaware of other star domains, but here, as long as the Containment Protocol still exists, any known method of escape is virtually nonexistent; the escape rate is currently at zero.”

Important assets…

Upon hearing this term, Colin couldn’t help but remember the incident involving “Time Reversal” when they were recycling starships.

They had captured a strange creature capable of generating electricity, and immediately afterwards, time began to reverse.

And then…

Even time reversal couldn’t make the company give up the catch and spit it out from their pockets.

Shaking his head, Colin didn’t dwell on it, and asked a few more questions, such as if the “King of Madness” knew “Thorn Lady” and so on, but unfortunately, the “King of Madness” didn’t know much in that regard.

After talking a bit more, Colin prepared to leave.

“Respected ‘Flame Bearer’ Sir, if you have any questions, you are always welcome to return. Within the range of my ability, even at the cost of my life, I shall fulfill it!”

‘Where did he learn these weirdly polite phrases? He seems to be getting smoother…’ Colin thought.

Colin waved his hand, turned around, and took step by step away from this place.

And as he watched his figure covered in flames walk away, the “King of Madness” started to feel a bit melancholic.

He couldn’t quite understand the current situation with the “Bonfire Company.” Why would a small regional subsidiary dare to confront a patrolling ambassador from above?

This…

Although the employee’s current status wasn’t quite right.

But as someone about to become a ‘Flame Bearer’ as a reservist, that level of authority was boundless, and even if he wasn’t a full-fledged ‘Flame Bearer’ yet, didn’t his authority peak, wouldn’t it be later?

However, there was also something the “King of Madness” always couldn’t quite understand…

Even though he knew the company might have had a minor issue, he thought there must still be a considerable amount of reserved force.

But why…

The important task of reclaiming what Rosen left behind, why would the company handle it so trivially, just taking small actions?

The corps and high-level employees they deployed were strong, but in terms of results, they were far less useful than having a proper ‘Flame Bearer.’

Not to mention combat power, just the “infinite emergency authority” they possess could have resolved the issues here by a large margin.

Everything could have been settled in less than three days.

Know that what the original inhabitants of the World Code think is insurmountable, all this Magic Fog disaster and whatnot, to him, was nothing more than a little leak in the roof.

Although if the leak becomes too severe, it could bury him in the room, it also demonstrates that the whole room is still quite solid.
