SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 715 - 715 516 Haze Angel_2

Chapter 715: Chapter 516 “Haze Angel”_2 Chapter 715: Chapter 516 “Haze Angel”_2 Streams of electricity were flickering continuously on her body.

Regarding the refusal to help on the island led by Huafang, they had always had some opinions to a certain extent.

Especially since there were several times when, if only they had gone up to cover the retreat, they could have saved a lot of people, but they were utterly unwilling.

This had nearly cost her and many of her comrades their lives up there.

On one side, Xu Duojin frowned, tens of thousands of black threads wriggling behind him and numerous black long hands stretching out, as if wanting to speak, but suddenly sensing something, he did not continue speaking.

By this time, an Eighth Level “Divine Strike” on the side also edged closer.

Despite some past grievances, at times like this, they must direct the spearhead outwards.

And upon hearing the other party’s words, Colin was stunned, then his expression turned peculiar.

‘Has it been so long that a character who can make me eat my words is finally about to emerge?’

Colin thought about it and actually felt somewhat excited.

However…

He didn’t particularly like this thing, scratching the back of his head and saying, “Actually, I know that all of you high-rankers have some issues with your personalities to some extent, and I’ve always respected you, but…”

“What do you want to say…” The woman and some people around her were puzzled.

But the next second…

Blazing firelight exploded in front of their eyes, sinking everyone’s hearts, but before they could act,

a giant hand made of flame descended from the sky.

Five thick fingers staked into the ground, forming a cage-like enclosure, covering everyone within the palm.

Thump… Thump… Thump…

Under the terrifying and heavy pressure, even Eighth Level Personnel couldn’t stand upright, all kneeling on the ground, their extraordinary powers greatly suppressed.

The astounding power of the “Bonfire” dominated the scene, its transcendental authority covering the sky.

The massive aircraft carrier sank several meters below the ocean’s surface due to the sudden downward force, creating large waves.

Many prostrated on the ground, struggling to lift their heads to look at the young figure, who, unbeknownst to them, began to be enveloped in flames.

“Respect is mutual, madam.” Colin said, his hands in his pockets, looking down from above at the woman kneeling not far from his pair of large slippers, “Do you have any different thoughts about what I’ve said?”

Behind Colin, Xu Duojin and the others couldn’t help but take a deep breath upon seeing the giant hand that almost covered half of the aircraft carrier.

This, just this single action alone, his strength was comparable to, if not stronger than, many Ninth Level Personnel!

‘Wait, he’s tamed that thing?!’ Xu Duojin suddenly realized that this was the “one-time” item they had provided to Colin for support last time.

Now it seemed, he had directly tamed it?

This…

The other’s strength must have surpassed most of the Ninth Level Personnel already.

Only a minority similar to “Old Master Wu,” who could utilize certain things to a certain extent and possessed strong uniqueness as Ninth Level Personnel, could contend with it.

“I… don’t…” The Eighth Level woman on the ground shook her head with difficulty. After experiencing the minor shock of the Flame Bearer’s power, her eyes cleared up a lot compared to before.

This power was hard to describe, but there seemed to be some sort of natural suppression against her—

Not just a restraint, but an all-encompassing… advanced feeling.

It was like an automatic rifle to a Mosin–Nagant.

“That’s good, then.”

Colin waved his hand casually, and the flames covering the area instantly dissipated, but the brief conflict lasting less than two minutes had significantly clarified everyone’s view of him.

Some higher-rankers spectating from a distance had not faced the power of the “Bonfire.”

But they had certainly felt a bit of its might.

Seeing this, Colin nodded in satisfaction; it seemed that everyone could still speak reason after all.

Then, Colin immediately inquired about the real-time situation on the island…

“There are about twelve disaster zones you are looking to contain, to circle them, not… that won’t be easy.” She originally wanted to say impossible, but considering the other party’s power, she changed her wording to avoid being disrespectful.

Then she further detailed the situation.

Such as the status of survivors, and what others currently working on the island were doing.

“Currently on the island, there are sixty-one Level Seven Personnel, nine Eighth Level Personnel, and there is one Ninth Level Personnel active above, monitoring some high-order anomalies containment subjects that are still in a state of partial loss of control, as well as stabilizing the situation and transferring personnel off the island…”

“The number of Extraordinary Ones outside the island is about the same, but there are no Ninth Level Personnel in person, only some remote monitoring…”

Spectating? Does this count as one side having trouble and all sides watching in amusement?

Colin suddenly thought about it and, after hearing the other party’s words, felt much relieved.

Because the loss of control was not complete but a state of partial loss of control with sections of the area compromised, which was also the reason why they believed the island could still be salvaged and were unwilling to let it sink…

“For this, we have made a lot of efforts and sacrifices…”

“Heh, efforts? Sacrifices? If it weren’t for the cover-ups and delays here, waiting until the anomalies crossed the Ocean to us and other countries, and the early refusal of international support, would there have been so much trouble?” A brown-haired, blue-eyed individual suddenly appeared and interrupted with ridicule.

In his hand, he wore black gloves adorned with skull decorations.

Not just on his hands, but all over his body, there were various skull emblems.

“Hand of Reprimand”.

Colin recognized these items as symbolic decorations of a famous organization from across the Ocean.

It seems to signify the purity of mankind and the resolve to face death…

“Aren’t these two supposed to be as close as people of the same nationality?”

Colin turned and quietly asked Xu Duojin beside him, and after hearing his just as quiet response said, “Indeed, but they lost some people in the previous operations, so there are hard feelings.”

“Oh, understood…”

Colin nodded, but he wasn’t too interested in these matters or the ensuing pleasantries.

Nobody said much in response to his attitude; on the contrary, they were very friendly, expressing the hope to invite him for some event if the opportunity arises—

After displaying his power, everyone suddenly became amiable and friendly.

‘The internal hierarchy of the officials sure is strict, the stronger you are, the higher your status…’

Colin sensed this atmosphere but didn’t think much of it, simply refusing some other people’s requests for meetings and asked Xu Duojin to obtain the most current live situation map.

After further understanding the current situation, he communicated with the Ninth Level Personnel on the island, and then began taking action.

This time he didn’t use any airplanes or the like…

Colin, carrying Xu Duojin, rode on a large skateboard transformed by the Little Maid, flying directly to the island as though riding a sword.

Passing over various warships on the sea surface, after a while, Colin saw the haunted area of the island firsthand.

A port nearby had all its functions shut down and was enveloped in a dense fog of haze.

Within the haze, numerous eerie figures wandered and fought…

Roars, screams, explosions, and so on…

The noises were incessant.

“Quite a welcoming, a small area that’s partially lost control right from the start.”

Colin pursed his lips and, taking a moment to sense around, noticed that all abnormalities within all the ports were unable to leave and seemed to be imprisoned by the thick, murky haze…

Within the haze, countless fierce and emaciated human faces surged out like bubbles and then shattered.

These spectral entities seemed to be trying to break free from the haze but to no avail.

“The haze must be that strong conceptual tool from the officials, the ‘Haze Angel’… A pan-conceptual thing, the anomalies are sealed inside, hmm, there are two Level 2 Containment Subjects fighting inside, along with some Heretic Races, and a large number of weird containment objects releasing power, what is this, breeding grounds?”

After sensing briefly, Colin understood the situation.

Then, he shifted his gaze towards a frontline base not far from the port.

Some people inside looked at him curiously, but because he communicated his intent beforehand, they did not come up to challenge him…

Colin watched for two seconds before moving his gaze away, flames surging in his eyes as he slightly tilted his head, gazing towards the distant modern city completely obscured by mist.

He planned to start with the biggest trouble first—

The Mist City that had completely fallen and had to be sealed up with the “Haze Angel”.
