Chapter 724: I love you
“I should start getting prepared as well,”
Mr. Colin pursed his lips, knowing that controlling such a massive scale of flas was not sothing that could be achieved in a normal state.
He needed every buff he could get, whether it was Item Liberation or other enhancents.
The ti it took to prepare was about the sa as Xu Duojin’s ti to escape…
After thirty minutes of continuous effort, Mr. Colin’s aura had reached its peak, the searing flas like a little sun amidst the mist.
With a “snap”,
Mr. Colin snapped his fingers.
The next second, in the dim nation of islands, torrents of scorching flas rose, with even the smallest bonfire reaching over a kiloter in height.
Connected with these flas, Mr. Colin had a macroscopic view as if the entire island lay beneath his gaze.
Then, before the anomalies had a chance to retaliate, he didn’t hesitate to throw the “token” directly into the massive bonfire outside Mist City, which seed to burn through the sky…
“Hmm…”
It was the mont the “token” left his hands that Mr. Colin felt a piercing pain in his brain, under assault by a massive psychic attack.
But these attacks were not fatal to him…
And most importantly, the “token” fell unaffected into the largest bonfire.
Then, all the bonfires erupted violently, connecting to one another, forming an imnse sea of fire!
Over fifty percent of the island was engulfed by the light of the flas…
Even from space, it was likely visible!
Lighting up a country, this was indeed the largest fla Mr. Colin had ever set ablaze in his lifeti, and it was unmatched!
“Ssss…”
anwhile, the people outside the island, bathed in the glow of the fire and shocked by the massive blaze, heard the countless wails of strange creatures and couldn’t help but shiver.
However, within seconds, they quickly realized…
Inside the area covered by the flas, everything seed to be slowly disappearing, obscured by a layer of smog that was different from the haze, then detaching from reality, drawn into an unknown dinsion.
“The ‘Haze Angel’, damn! Don’t burn the ‘Haze Angel’ too…” soone called out belatedly.
Suddenly, a group of people beca nervous as they realized sothing.
And it was at that mont, Mr. Colin ran into trouble. He saw all the haze in the flas reversing, gathering in front of him to form a vague childlike figure with wings of mist on its back.
Above the childlike figure’s head, a halo ceaselessly churned out stinging, choking haze…
This entity, upon appearing, reached out its hands like a child yearning for an embrace, taking slow steps toward Mr. Colin.
Within the haze, nurous figures wailed, as though they were suffering extre agony…
‘What’s going on?’
Mr. Colin’s expression turned solemn; this entity’s level was not low, but what was odd was that it didn’t have the destructive power of a Level 1 Containnt Subject, yet it obviously exceeded Level 2…
Maybe it should be categorized as a top-end special Level 2 Containnt Subject, or perhaps he should report back to the company later.
Should they add a new level for containnt subjects that are one step and a half into the lower Level 1 category?
While thoughts flickered in his mind, Mr. Colin’s phone suddenly rang. After connecting, Xu Duojin’s voice quickly ca through:
“Mr. Colin, the people here have asked
to tell you not to burn the ‘Haze Angel’ too, to keep it for them to handle later, and they are willing to offer a generous reward if you can prevent it from escaping…”
Mr. Colin opened his mouth about to speak, but the signal was abruptly cut off.
And the one cutting off the signal was…
Mr. Colin looked up ahead, to see the childlike “Haze Angel” trembling, as if in great fear.
“Save … save … please don’t…”
“Please stop hurting …”
“I’m begging you…”
“No more pain and whipping…”
“Let
rest a bit…”
“Please… let there be a place where it’s not cold…”
“I haven’t eaten for so many days…”
“I beg you…”
“Please take us with you… warm people…”
From the rolling haze, countless whispers could be heard, along with dense shadows, among which there were children as small as monkeys with limbs crippled by factory machinery, workers wasted away by tuberculosis and incessant whipping, people frozen stiff as they hung from ropes, won, and children who had endured endless tornt…
In their innate desire for warmth and heat, they reached out to Colin, trying to grasp even a sliver of warmth and hope.
But the intense resentnt emanating from them, thick as if it couldn’t dissipate, left Colin feeling a strong sense of suffocation.
It was as though what he saw wasn’t a crowd of people, but an entire era…
Such suffering, he truly found hard to bear.
Yet it was at that mont that a task notification sprang forth from his mind.
[Temporary Event: “Contain the ‘Haze Angel’ using the Level 5 Containnt Sphere and turn it in.”]
Note: The “Haze Angel’s” traits will be obtained in another manner.
…
“Alright, alright, just in ti…”
Colin ca to his senses and glanced at the “Storage Room,” where he saw a Level 5 Containnt Sphere marked with an “M” pattern.
He imdiately took it out and threw it toward the other party.
With a snap, the containnt sphere opened, and glowing chains shot out, capturing the “Haze Angel,” who put up little resistance, within. In the next second, it was whisked away by a transparent vortex.
It was after this that Colin took a deep breath, feeling the cold sweat soaking his back.
And at this ti, he also realized sothing…
“Xu Duojin had said, it seems they value the ‘Haze Angel’ quite a bit here? Right, I forgot, didn’t quite catch that…”
Colin thought for a mont, then decided not to think too much about it.
The “Haze Angel” had just cut off the communication; he hadn’t heard anything, and that’s how things were.
Afterward, seeing that all the restricted areas within the bonfire coverage had seemingly disappeared, and the mission completed, Colin decided to return ho via the mission route.
It was shortly after his departure that a group of officers clad in old-fashioned uniforms, wielding batons and whistles and bearing a special containnt device much like an iron maiden, searched the area. Upon confirming that the other party had left, they broke into a torrent of curses.
anwhile, an operator, having swiftly reviewed the scene, turned pale and dialed a number:
“One piece of good news, one piece of bad news.”
“Tell
the good news first.”
“Every significant anomaly on the island has been eradicated.”
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone was taken aback, then said with a laugh, “It seems that as long as there’s this good news, no amount of bad news could affect .”
But soon, after hearing the bad news, they could no longer laugh.
“About sixty percent of our terrestrial territory has been erased from this world, including the important containnt subject ‘Haze Angel’…”
…
At the sa ti, in another place, Xu Duojin, having re-established contact with Colin’s phone and discovered that the other party had already returned to his own country, fell into a silence as deep as death.
Colin had gone back, so what was he to do?
Xu Duojin looked up, seeing the unfriendly foreign colleagues who had him tightly encircled, opened his mouth to say sothing, but the awkwardness lodged in his throat, and for a mont, he could not think of what to say.
