Chapter 677: Chapter 499 The hidden secrets of company executives._1
“Whoo~whoo~whoo~”
The dilapidated ancient train emitted a series of shrill whistle sounds.
The gray fog at this mont intensified once more…
The outside scenery continued to be obscured by the increasingly thick gray fog.
“Hmm, luckily I still have a few fancy numbers, or else I’d be at a huge loss, and I wouldn’t have the face to et people anymore…”
“Thorn Lady” muttered softly with a look of regret in her eyes, leaving Colin with a headache.
‘Ah, what a waste of my emotions…’
Colin sowhat speechless, had thought it was so kind of lancholic feelings, but it turned out to be just this.
It was just a matter of a few account numbers, after all, what’s there to be ashad of.
But speaking of which…
His gaze shifted to the outside world wrapped in thorns, gradually obscured by the gray fog, and he felt a chill thinking that according to “Thorn Lady”, this was the actual display of her body’s power…
He didn’t feel any pressure when facing the “split consciousness”, but catching a glimpse of her true form, that feeling of upper-level oppression was truly overwhelming.
Even Colin dared not look too closely…
‘So this is the true strength of a First Level Containnt Subject, capable of affecting the entire world, and could easily destroy a celestial body if left unchecked…’
Colin reflected inwardly, recalling the brief description he had about First Level Containnt Subjects.
And at that mont, as the gray fog beca completely dense and nothing could be seen outside the window, “Thorn Lady” withdrew her gaze and gave Colin a once over:
“Your account isn’t too bad, do you want to… Ah, never mind, you’ve tied it down too securely, and besides, even if it weren’t tied down, it’s a bit prickly to the touch, too many things are involved, and it might not withstand it if it were in my hands…”
Hearing this, Colin wasn’t sure how to respond.
But looking at it this way, “Thorn Lady” seed to have her little quirks.
Like collecting “fancy number” accounts, it’s just not clear how she transfers them.
“Right, you ntioned before that these ‘outsiders’ were confined here because of so special period. What happened during that period…?”
Colin naturally brought up a topic he was interested in.
From what can be seen, all disasters seem to stem from a particular period, during which nearly all of the world’s civilizations regressed, and historical discontinuities occurred.
The Bonfire Company’s main body disappeared at that mont too.
And as an Administrator, “Thorn Lady” having lived so long, even if she knew little, should know sothing.
“Thorn Lady” thought for a mont, then retreated to sit on a taller chair, stretching her fair legs out from under her black thorny robe and swinging them as she said:
“This thing, I’m not very sure about, but I rember it was maybe so hundred years back, the whole universe was obscured by a grand event. During that period, all space travel was directly interrupted, the worlds that had been connected were forcibly isolated, and all kinds of chaotic events impacted various places, causing severe distortions…
“Like here, with
around, it was okay, but so places, I went out to investigate midway, and they were directly extinct, along with the destruction or mutation of their celestial bodies.
“As for those people, just before the disaster erupted, I happened to have received so task, and along the way moving this group of refugees from other star systems, I bumped into this storm and had no choice but to bring them back to my own world to protect them…
“This continued for sixty or seventy years, a hundred years or perhaps even longer. Such a massive scale of influence only gradually faded away.
“Then afterwards, I made contact with the outside world through so ans, and that’s when I learned that quite a lot had happened; the company seed to be on the brink of collapse…
“But at that ti, I didn’t have the energy to investigate too much, so I went into a deep sleep.”
She didn’t hide anything and simply told Colin what she knew.
Several decades? It lasted that long… Colin was startled, having thought it was just a montary event.
Unfortunately, from “Thorn Lady’s” words, it seed she could only catch a glimpse of the effects and tried to make external contacts, but couldn’t see the root cause or know the result.
Probably the only ones who knew the situation were so high-ranking “Firebearers.”
But speaking of which, there seed to be so keywords in what “Thorn Lady” said…
“‘Refugees’?”
“Yeah, I heard they were transferred from the ‘World Code’ ahead, but I’m not very clear about the specifics, as so key information seed to be highly confidential, and I couldn’t access it.”
Ah, World Code…
Colin’s expression suddenly beca strange; could it be the part of the people Rosen transferred after blowing up the planet?
“Why, you seem to know sothing?” “Thorn Lady” asked curiously.
“I might know a little bit…” Colin thought for a mont and then gave a brief account of his mories about Rosen.
“Hmm, it should be him, but Rosen, the number one lackey under one of the company’s big shots, I didn’t have much contact with him, and my mories are not very clear. I just heard that he seed to be one of the leaders of the ‘Conservative Faction’ among the Firebearers…”
“Thorn Lady” gave a simple assessnt.
As for what Colin ntioned about Rosen going to retrieve sothing, “Thorn Lady” showed no reaction, whether she was unaware or deliberately avoiding the topic.
The number one lackey under a big shot… Colin thought for a mont, guessing she was probably talking about “Boss Huang He”.
It was just a question whether Rosen’s spirit in heaven would hear this assessnt and turn her into a lump of energy carbon for fuel.
“But talking about this gets
irritated, I had to clean up the ss that guy made, and his group of ‘refugees’, seriously… After I bore the brunt of that chaotic influence, I was too tired and just squeezed my eyes shut for a bit, going into a slumber…”
