Chapter 372 Abnormal Behavior of Out-of-Control Contained Objects

"Buzz!"

There was an invisible roar of an engine.

The huge piece of meat in front of him, the employees and colleagues around him, the dust floating in the air, everything seemed to be frozen in place like a photo.

"What a god, good friends are delicious"

With a groan in his heart, Colin looked around and saw no other enemies. Then he stopped hesitating, pulled out a handful of bone spurs, and stabbed the ferocious piece of meat in front of him with its big mouth open.

The meat itself is not very tough, and there is no skin protection, so bone spurs can penetrate easily.

At this time, the clock hands clicked.

"ah!!!"

A sharp scream suddenly sounded.

The huge piece of flesh seemed to have been subjected to some terrible torture. It jumped and jumped in pain and made an unpleasant cry.

His screams were so loud that the ears of "Son of Sexual Abuse" and others were numb.

However, they were slightly stunned when they saw the sudden change in the scene before them. They couldn't understand the situation for a while, and they didn't know why the enemy who was about to attack retreated back.

"Time has stopped!" "Diamond No. 7" suddenly remembered Brother Shunzi's famous props.

Brother Shunzi became famous in the company because of this stuff.

In front of them, Colin looked at the flesh wailing in pain and did not pursue it.

At this moment, there was a new mission event in his mind.

[Event 3: Complete the containment work of the original item "New Blood" that has completely lost control. 】

"Remarks": You will get more ratings and rewards.

"The original item 'New Blood' that completely lost control?"

Colin murmured to himself, and then under some guidance, looked outside at the large piece of meat that was screaming and rolling.

This time, he finally understood what this thing was about.

‘Did it turn out to be the props left behind by the employees who died here? No wonder it’s so weak, I thought it was an anomaly that caused the problem here.’

‘I didn’t expect it to be an item with a green name. No wonder it’s not very strong. If you prick it casually, you’ll die. But you have to resist the bone spur attack. You should lose control of the purple item at the beginning. ’

Thoughts flashed through Colin's mind, and then he did not act immediately. Instead, he looked at the task of staying in the seventh car for three hours.

At this time, this task has been updated.

From the original intention of going deeper to investigate, it became, ["Light a bonfire"]. 】.

Colin looked at the mission description, which basically required them to find some materials to light a temporary bonfire at a nearby location.

As for the required materials

Colin pursed his lips and looked kindly at the jumping piece of meat outside the car in front.

You have to turn this thing into firewood before it hurts to death.

There were no surprises in the process of collecting firewood, it could be said to be very smooth.

After Colin cut the monster that had become out of control from the "new blood" into pieces, threw it into the open space outside the carriage door, and poured some virgin oil on it, a bonfire of seven or eight meters high immediately rose. stand up.

"Trash can burn that high."

Colin raised his head and glanced at the flames two or three stories high, and shook his head dissatisfied.

However, the piece of flesh he killed seemed to be only part of the "new blood". There were also a huge number of "new blood" pieces of flesh in the surrounding gray-toned area.

It looks like some kind of weird fleshy moss.

However, I didn’t think too much about this matter when the bonfire was lit.

Something like a small map appeared in the minds of Colin and the "Sons of Sexual Abuse" and others.

This range continued to expand after the appearance of the bonfire.

After a little experience, a few people can probably feel that the current maximum range of this "small map" should be just over one kilometer. Anything beyond this kilometer becomes extremely blurry.

Of course, it is still expanding, but at an increasingly slower pace.

"The 'Bonfire' actually has the function of being a mini-map."

Colin pursed his lips and sensed the nearby situation. Through the combination of the small map and the sense of smell, he soon discovered that a few hundred meters away from them, in addition to squirming pieces of meat of various sizes, there seemed to be other abnormalities. exist.

One of them is quite familiar.

A ghost-like thing was wearing a black complicated lace gothic dress. On its forehead, there was a demonic eye that was moving restlessly.

Of all the anomalies around here, it's the most threatening.

At this moment, it didn't seem to be aware of Colin's arrival. Instead, it knelt on the ground and grabbed pieces of flesh and blood flowing from the "new blood", then stuffed it into its mouth, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it down its throat. , my stomach feels a little bloated after eating.

"Isn't this the 'Devil Sword Ghost Witch'?"

Colin was surprised. In the previous battle, he was cut several times by the sword of Old Lu, and then his head was dented with a punch, so he was not unfamiliar with its aura.

However, compared to before, this thing seems to be completely out of control now and has returned to its original appearance.

There are no signs of depression on his head.

"It seems that this should be the original body of the magic sword, and the train copy should be fake."

Colin thought thoughtfully.

However, not long after he looked over, the magic sword suddenly became erratic and disappeared from the place, whether because it was full or something happened.

In addition to here, there are also several anomalies suspected of out-of-control props in several other places.

that is

What makes Colin a little uncomfortable is that these anomalies are either eating pieces of meat transformed from "new blood", or they are on the way to eating "new blood".

And those pieces of "new blood" meat that were eaten didn't know what they were eating to replenish themselves.

Anyway, at present, although it is only at the bottom of the local area, it seems to be doing pretty well.

"Where do these pieces of meat come from, and why are so many monsters eating them?" The "Son of Sexual Abuse" on the side perceived the picture in his mind and asked in surprise.

A few of them didn't do that side mission, so I don't know the details.

But soon, with Colin's explanation, he understood the situation.

"Most of these things are out-of-control props?" Several people couldn't help but clicked their tongues when they heard this. At the same time, they also confirmed one thing - the company's prop materials are indeed from anomalies.

However, before thinking about it, the bonfire "mini-map" finally stopped expanding when it expanded to a point of three kilometers in diameter with the bonfire as the point.

At the same time, the task content was updated again. In the content of "Lighting a Campfire", there is an additional item:

[Temporary event 1: "Get ten pieces of firewood, expand the campfire detection area, find and track the 'Ghost Witch', and find the location of at least one dead D-class employee."]

"Remarks": A standard unit of firewood is about one second-level lycanthropy patient.

"Precautions 1": Try not to take the initiative to look up at the sky

"Note 2": Don't pay attention to some minerals with weird textures.

"Find the location of a dead D-class employee? Ah, when I saw the ghost just now, I just said no. Then I can follow him directly."

Colin rubbed his forehead, feeling a little pity.

In that way, it is estimated that a lot of time can be saved, and I can leave this ghostly place without knowing where it is.

Then, he glanced at Note 1. Although he did not actively look up at the sky, he could still see through the corner of his eye that there was a very strange aurora all over the sky above his head.

It's a bit like the northern lights, but the shape is quite different, showing a twisted state of vortex rotation.

Even if he just looked out of the corner of his eye, Colin felt an uncomfortable feeling of being involved.

‘This should come from the thing that killed all the employees in the first place, right? ’

Ke Lin was thoughtful, but then, without looking too much, he withdrew his thoughts and called "Son of Sexual Abuse" and others.

Then, everyone began to collect the "firewood" around them.

In addition to the "new blood" turned into meat, Colin also subdued all the other out-of-control containment objects, and threw them into the bonfire as firewood.

Although the out-of-control contained objects are far stronger than their prop state.

But losing the user does not have high sanity, so it is not difficult to deal with it

In addition to these abnormal creatures, Colin also saw the strange texture minerals mentioned in the mission "Note 2".

They are like some kind of multi-colored metal mineral crystals, emitting a strange light, like twist rolls.

Just looking at it will make you feel dizzy and messy.

After reminding everyone to be careful, Colin did not perform any unnecessary operations on this thing and continued to look for other contained objects.

About an hour later, the firewood collection part of the mission was basically completed. In the process, the campfire "mini map" continued to expand for several kilometers, and when the diameter reached almost ten kilometers, Colin once again sensed the "ghost witch" ".

At this time, it seemed to be floating towards a pothole, and there seemed to be a large fuzzy object in the pothole.

"Does it feel like a train carriage?"

Colin tried to concentrate and looked at the scene inside through the "mini map".

But unfortunately, no matter how you look at it, it's all blurry.

After thinking about it, Colin turned his head and said to "Sons of Sexual Abuse" and others: "You just stay here and don't move. I will handle this task. It's still the same as before. If there is something wrong with the flames on your bodies, I will immediately make some noise." , I will come."

"No problem." Several people nodded.

Seeing that there was no problem, Colin followed in the direction of the target.

When he was close to a similar distance, he first let the "Snow Girl" possess her, then took out a badge and put it on his collar, and then held his breath.

The next second, his presence quickly decreased, almost becoming invisible.

With his current strength, it would be no problem to use this item for more than ten minutes at a time.

Not long after, Colin came to the edge of the pit and saw a large train car that had been scrapped for who knows how long.

The paint outside the carriage has peeled off, and there is a faint stench of blood and flesh.

And the sound of chewing can be heard.

"This smell of living people? Isn't it true that some of the original employees are still alive?"

Colin controlled himself and slowly floated over.

Then, when I saw clearly what was inside the scene, I couldn't help but hold my breath.

In the center of the huge train carriage, he saw a bloated and obese "person" about three meters tall, lying on a "bed" made of a large number of chairs, struggling constantly.

His limbs, head, and torso were all bound by a dark chain.

It's just that he is so fat that when he struggles, he looks like a wriggling maggot.

"So fat. It doesn't look like it, but intuitively speaking, it seems that he is really a former D-class employee? No, the task has not been completed yet, so I am not sure."

Colin saw a familiar extreme madness in those eyes that were so fat that he could barely open them.

This kind of madness is almost exactly the same as the employees on the train losing control.

If he hadn't been bound by chains, he had no doubt that this guy would go crazy.

I don’t know if it’s a former employee, but it’s true that there is no cure.

"Speaking of which, what about the 'Ghost Witch'? Isn't she going out again? What's she doing by locking the former employees here? Raising them to be eaten as pigs?"

Colin thought of the previous scene of the "Ghost Witch" eating meat, and when he was confused, he suddenly saw the exquisite and beautiful "Ghost Witch" with gray complexion, wearing a black and complicated lace gothic windbreaker dress, emerging from the air.

What happened next made Colin's eyes freeze a little.

I saw that after it floated to the side of the suspected former employee, it skillfully brought its head to the former employee's mouth, opened its mouth full of fangs, and kissed the other person's mouth.

Then, it stretched out its long blood-red tongue to pry open the other person's mouth, as if regurgitating the cud, and slid its throat, spitting out some minced meat that seemed to have been chewed up and swallowed by it before, and poured it into this fat body.

After a while, after stuffing the food in her stomach in this way, the "Ghost Witch" raised her head.

He stretched out a slender hand, inserted it into his fat mouth, and pushed the food that might be left in his throat into his stomach.

Finally, the "Ghost Witch" sat on a chair on the side, motionless like a doll, with a set of exquisite black eyes on a beautiful face, staring at the person who made a weird roar and struggled like a wriggling fat maggot. , seems to be expecting something to happen.

It looked at the man in front of it, as if looking at everything in its own world.

"Hiss, this employee can still live for so long after going crazy. Is this the reason?"

Colin's mood was unclear when he saw it. He didn't expect that an out-of-control prop could do this to its owner.

And it seems

I'm afraid this kind of thing lasted not just for a year or two, but for more than ten years, decades or even longer.

It's a pity that Colin couldn't help but shook his head secretly:

"Although I don't know how it did it, allowing the former employees to survive on just eating meat, this expectation is destined to fail. This madness has penetrated into the bone marrow, and there is no way to save it.

"Also, this 'Ghost Witch' always has an aura about her that I feel is inexplicably familiar."

Just when this idea emerged, a cold aura emerged.

After interpreting the information contained in this cold breath,

"You said that the 'Ghost Witch' has the aura of your mother, maybe she was cultivated from the 'City of Scripts'?"

Colin's expression was a little strange, but not very surprised.

The human anomalies he has seen so far seem to have something to do with the "City of Scripts".

Boss Huang is evil, but the things he makes do have some merit.

As the cold aura continued to emerge, he learned from the "Snow Girl" that this kind of human nature is close to complete and does not have too many flaws. It should belong to the members who have graduated from the school. It is not like her who took advantage of the cracks to escape. out.

"Hey, look at this person, and look at you, you know that you are looking for 'colorless crystals' from me all day long."

After taking a look at "Ghost Witch" and then thinking about "Snow Girl", Colin felt a little sour to be honest.

But without thinking too much, the task in my mind was finally completed.

And this means

This huge, fat "corpse" did indeed come from an employee.

Then, another new incident occurred.

After a quick glance, Colin couldn't help but sigh.

[Temporary event 2: "Use the power of 'bonfire' to incinerate the deformed corpses of former employees after their death, and thereby complete the locking of the source of the 'ghost train' pollution."]
