Chapter 804: Chapter 558 News of other “Flame Bearer” Reservists._2 Chapter 804: Chapter 558 News of other “Flame Bearer” Reservists._2 “As for the precise intelligence related to it, it might be that I can’t remember, or that I never really came into contact with it, or perhaps the information was blocked. In any case, I can’t provide specific intelligence…”

“However, during this time, I confirmed some fragmentary information related to it, for instance, its initial activation conditions, which are extremely harsh. One of them is that within a short period of time, a person must throw eighteen consecutive ‘Luck’s stacked together, tilting the effect of the item in our favor.”

“Eighteen ‘Luck’s?!” Colin’s eyes widened. All stacked together?

Is that something a human could achieve?

He dared not imagine, after throwing it, how smooth one’s life must be.

Isn’t it practically becoming a god on the spot?

No, if it required so many ‘Lucks’, would things have come to this point?

Perhaps sensing his confusion, ‘Lady Rabbit’ said:

“Whether the effect was successfully thrown or not, only the executor knows. I’m just deducing the result from some events, such as, nowadays the ‘Book of Fate’ or some related items, may be fine when ‘Misfortune’ or ‘Luck’ is thrown the first time, but on the second throw, no matter good or bad, there’s a great likelihood it will evaporate, instantly merging into some macro level because of its cause…”

“Is it dead?”

“I don’t know, but it wasn’t like this before.”

“Alright.”

As he spoke, Colin resolved an earlier doubt in his heart—

He had once asked on the company channel whether ‘Luck’ could be renewed; the answer he got was that the second one would disappear, tracelessly.

Now he knew the reason, it related to that unknown super-grade item.

“Lady Rabbit” added, “Moreover, for the item’s effect to function smoothly, the ‘Flame Bearers’, as well as many company employees, had all paid a great price. This too was a condition for activating it…”

That’s for sure, in the past powers wandered everywhere, now there aren’t even two Little Cats left, almost completely annihilated.

Colin pursed his lips, unsure of what to say for a moment.

It feels like the cost of using this item is too great, among those eighteen ‘Luck’s’, there might be some padding.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so disastrously unlucky…

While he was thinking this, Lady Rabbit continued speaking: “Actually, for the company, the current result still hasn’t deviated because the scenarios that were originally impossible have now appeared…

‘The Primordial Fire’ has completed its final transformation. We have obtained the result we wanted. Now is the era when all things converge on ‘humanity’, only missing a ‘Flame Bearer’ to trigger ‘Primordial Fire’ to set the pattern…”

Hearing this, Colin nodded outwardly, but couldn’t help but internally retort, ‘That’s well said! So, where should we start looking for this ‘Flame Bearer’ now?’

He didn’t feel much for environments with or without “humanity.”

However, he now understood the situation quite a bit—

Simply put, without the ‘Primordial Fire,’ there wouldn’t be a ‘Flame Bearer.’

And without a ‘Flame Bearer,’ the ‘Primordial Fire’ couldn’t be invoked.

So far, no one had understood how a ‘Flame Bearer’ could appear without the ‘Primordial Fire.’

It was a dead loop.

Thinking this, Colin sighed and spoke, “If initially they had retained a ‘Flame Bearer,’ even the weakest one, we wouldn’t be in this situation. So, is there really a chance now?”

A ‘Flame Bearer’ might not be invincible, able to vanquish scores of First Level Containment Subjects in a second, but its real value was more than just combat power.

But also in its identity.

Today, if the first ‘Flame Bearer’ were to appear, it would have certain ‘uniqueness,’ because of some specific rules, it could command very high authority, able to reassemble the company’s power and prompt the descent of the ‘Primordial Fire’…

If they had kept one, we wouldn’t be in this situation.

Realizing this, Colin raised an eyebrow, suddenly aware that with the company’s capability, they should not have been unable to retain people.

Perhaps there was an underlying issue?

“I can’t answer your first question as there are details I’m unaware of, as for the second…”

“Lady Rabbit” spoke in a rare serious tone:

“It’s my ultimate demand behind all my current tasks to have a ‘Flame Bearer’ appear.

“I firmly believe it can succeed, and strive for this.”

Lady Rabbit’s firm words seemed to inject Colin with more confidence. Difficulties aside, just seeing ‘Lady Rabbit’ looking like this, it felt quite promising.

As for whether there was much hope, that was hard to say, after all, difficulties were aside…

However, having made a decision, Colin wasn’t overly troubled and, having clarified the issue further with “2044”, he asked about other matters:

“Apart from me, are there other ‘Flame Bearer’ reservists? If so, how are they doing? Can we establish contact and get to know each other?”

Hearing this, “Lady Rabbit” nodded:

“There are.”

Then, as Colin looked at her, awaiting further explanation, he realised “Lady Rabbit” had no more to say.

For a few seconds, as they were “staring at each other,” the atmosphere turned awkward, Colin suddenly realized—

His level wasn’t enough; a single “there are” was all he could know.

Other specifics like exact numbers, status, locations, were out of the question, very crucial secrets—probably only after getting a promotion or becoming a ‘Flame Bearer,’ could he know…
