Chapter 260: Chapter 260 Survivors in the Academy_1 Chapter 260: Chapter 260 Survivors in the Academy_1 “Bang!”
Just as the plaster torch touched the silvery-gray mist near Colin, it crumbled into pieces instantly.
“That’s interesting… I didn’t even notice anything was wrong with it before it attacked. There’s sothing quite unusual about this strangeness…”
Colin tilted his head, pondering the scene that had just occurred, without feeling any sense of danger.
Because that thing posed a very low threat to him, even if he stood still, it might not be able to penetrate his defenses.
Moreover, what made him feel uneasy wasn’t so much the attack from the statue, but rather the brilliant, multicolored dazzle of light that emanated from the Statue of Liberty as it shattered.
This dazzle of light disappeared in less than a second…
But whether it was an illusion or not, when he looked directly at that resplendent light, he always felt as if his life span might have experienced a “-1S,” “-1S” situation.
“Upon analysis, the light seems to have the special ability to absorb the vitality of living beings. It is recomnded not to destroy it again to avoid any direct contact…” the Nano Intellectual chanism responded.
Can it suck away life? Is this what the mission warning ant by cautioning against non-human art?
Colin nodded thoughtfully, “Let’s do as you suggest.”
Then, he continued toward the third floor, along the way, he saw quite a few eerie statues drifting towards him, only to be repelled before they could get close to Colin.
And unless they got within a certain distance, they seed not to launch an attack.
“They don’t seem to have a very strong desire to attack…”
Colin guessed it might be because he hadn’t actually triggered anything, or perhaps the ti had not co; otherwise, these things probably wouldn’t be so docile.
Before long, he arrived on the third floor. Upon reaching this location, his enhanced senses could clearly detect the presence of several survivors behind what seed to be the door to a multidia office.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Colin knocked on the sturdy door. “Is anyone there?”
As he spoke, he could clearly feel that the people inside seed to hold their breath.
“I don’t need to co in, just have soone tell about the situation here. Qin Chuan, um, Xia Liufang, have you seen them? A girl who looks spirited and like a heroine…”
He had intended to use Qin Chuan as an example, but Colin thought it over and figured that if these people were to arrive, Xia Liufang would probably attract more attention.
Unfortunately, there was no response from inside to Colin’s words.
“Being cautious is good, it’s just a pity that it’s misplaced here.”
Colin waved his hand, and a swath of silvery-gray mist surged up, corroding the components of the door lock. Then, he politely reached for the doorknob, preparing to open it, only to find that so force was preventing the door from opening.
“So kind of seal?”
He frowned, let go of the doorknob, and with flas bursting from his right leg…
Following that,
“Boom!”
The mysterious force on the door lted on contact with the flas and was instantly kicked away.
At the sa ti, several yellow talisman papers fell from behind the door, appearing to be what had blocked Colin’s entrance.
However, before he could take a closer look, a man holding a shotgun, ready to fire, exclaid:
“I’ll fight you to the end!”
The shotgun in his hand was peculiar, wrapped in layers of yellow talismans, but before he could pull the trigger, he found a mass of silver around his fingers enveloping his palm, and his entire body stiffened, immobilized…
Unbeknownst to him, the Nano Intellectual chanism Little Cat had already taken complete control of him, even filling his entire body.
“What’s all this anger about?”
Colin’s gaze passed over this “Special Operations Departnt” Extraordinary One and looked inside. He could see six students from the Star Color Art Academy, two males and four females, all huddled in the corner, looking at him with faces as frightened as little chicks.
His eyes swept over them, and from their pale, emaciated faces and scared eyes, it was clear that they were not in good shape.
And in the multidia office, there was a sll of excrent…
Clearly, these people had been hiding here for more than a day or two.
“Have you cald down now?”
Colin withdrew his gaze and looked at the Extraordinary One, who was hugging a shotgun and controlled by a Nano Intellectual chanism.
Not until then did he confirm that Colin was not an enemy, managing a difficult nod, “It’s okay now.”
“Good.”
Colin did not release the control over the other person, “Were you the first one to co in?”
“Yes.”
“Did you see the person I ntioned?”
“An hour ago, I heard so noises. They could be the ones who ca to support later, but I didn’t dare to look, worrying that the enemy would find my position…”
“Enemy?”
“I’m not sure. If you’re active outside for a while, you could get attacked by sothing inexplicable…”
“Alright, then do you know where those people went?” Colin continued to inquire.
“Most likely they went to the studio on the seventh floor of Building B; that could be the source. But I haven’t seen them co out later. Our current location is D Building…”
“Building B, seventh floor.”
Colin’s vision drifted past a mass of floating objects and looked across, where he could see the top floor’s seventh level, seemingly one particularly large classroom, which indeed gave him an uneasy feeling.
But whether that was actually the source was not so certain…
At that mont, however,
A line of information appeared on his retina: [“Weekly Mission—’Anomaly in the Star Color Art Academy’ has been completed.”]
“Huh? That completes the investigation?”
Colin was taken aback and then saw another line of information erge.
[If you leave now and proceed with mission clearance, you will receive “Bonfire Points*250” grade rewards.]
[Continue to the next stage of the mission: “Containing the embryonic embryos in the classroom within seven days,” you will receive an additional guarantee of “Bonfire Points*800” and one “Silver Task Certificate.”]
[Note: The next stage of the mission has certain risks. It is recomnded to carry “Excellent (Purple)” grade items with sufficient attack strength or transfer the mission to a “D Level” employee.]
“I can leave now?”
Colin’s expression was odd, only then realizing just how easy a regular weekly mission could be.
Of course, he didn’t hesitate, imdiately accepting the next stage of the mission.
Mission Vouchers were hard to co by nowadays; the more he could get, the better.
Even if he didn’t consider the rewards, he had to think about Qin Chuan and the others…
After all, it wouldn’t do if all his subordinates died before he even started his new position.
At once, he gathered his thoughts, Colin released the official Extraordinary One from his bonds and headed towards the studio on the seventh floor of Building B, casually calling out over his shoulder:
“You guys co with .”
“Us, together? Where to? Wait a minute!”
The official Extraordinary One behind him, whose na he still didn’t know, was stunned and hastily intervened, “The anomaly above hasn’t been investigated yet, and all those who went in haven’t co back out. I suggest waiting for stronger official Extraordinary Ones to arrive…”
Since Colin was not part of the three major paths, he couldn’t sense Colin’s strength, just assuming the other to be around Fourth Level.
But Fourth Level was simply not enough!
“Anomaly?”
Upon hearing this, Colin lifted his right hand above his head, extending an index finger. A burst of fla ignited on the finger, rapidly expanding until its diater exceeded three ters in an instant. Under the scorching light, all the distorted beams returned to normal.
As he walked forward without looking back, he said:
“I am what you call ‘stronger.’
