SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire-Chapter 128: May I Ask Who You Are?_1

"Wait, wait a minute, dude, how come you decided to head straight to ’Rain City’?"

Someone couldn’t help but interrupt Colin’s speech.

"Yeah, honestly, based on the current intel, that place is obviously a trap..."

"I agree with that, right now we don’t have a hundred percent certainty about the situation over there. I think, we should gather some more intel before making plans. It won’t be too late..."

"Right, the first day isn’t even over, and our understanding is insufficient. Isn’t it too hasty to set off right away?"

As they had yet to make up their minds, Colin’s words sounded as if he had already made the decision for them, which was somewhat discomforting and instinctively met with resistance.

Of course, aside from that, they genuinely felt that the situation in "Rain City" was troublesome.

Especially when combined with Two-Faced’s brother’s vague information, and almost complete ignorance about the place, the pressure was even greater.

One misstep could easily lead to their demise there...

"A hundred percent certainty?"

Colin’s eyebrows raised, the previous remarks were fair, but that last statement suddenly made him feel out of sync with several employees.

How could there be people who think you must be a hundred percent certain before doing something?

However, after second thoughts, Colin kind of understood. The tasks the company employees took on before were all regular F Level tasks, which mostly had very low completion difficulty and no time pressure, so as long as they were prepared, they indeed could be completed with a hundred percent certainty...

Even if they couldn’t be completed, there was enough margin for error to ensure safety.

But...

"I need to correct you on one thing, the task you are currently undertaking is an Out-of-Control Copy."

Colin waved his hand, feeling the need to correct their mindset:

"We mustn’t let slip any opportunity, we must firmly grasp every chance we get; otherwise, one wrong step could mean all subsequent steps are wrong, and looking back, we’d find no opportunities left at all."

"What do you mean? Dude, if you can really give a valid reason, we’re not against going over there," said Dog Brother, his red lips parting slightly as he stared at Colin with a bizarre expression. "Did you receive some key intel again?"

Before Colin reminded them, they might not have noticed the notes hidden within the books.

It was also quite possible that the other party just acquired some crucial information which is why they said this.

However, before Colin could explain, Dog Brother and the other two’s expressions changed subtly, their mouths shut, their eyes slightly glazed, as if their attention was diverted elsewhere...

"Did they also receive their tasks?"

Seeing this, Colin immediately understood the reason; without a "task" directly requesting it, it would be difficult for him to convince them through normal conversation.

At this moment, Dog Brother was the first to snap back to reality, his expression odd: "Based on the task we just received, it seems we only have one path, that is to investigate ’Rain City’... Strange, did you receive the task in advance?"

"Seems like it."

Colin didn’t deny it, and they exchanged the specific content of the tasks they had just received, concluding that everyone got the same thing.

Of course, Colin also noted a small detail that was different.

For instance, the remark for the three of them was to survive in "Rain City" by sticking together as much as possible, rather than just being an eye, a phraseology that left much face.

"That’s not right, usually everyone gets the task at the same time. Why did this happen..." Dog Brother and the others looked utterly puzzled, suspecting that Colin might have taken a shortcut.

However, they didn’t dwell on it too much and started discussing the next step of their plan.

"First, let’s extract ’Loafing Immortal’ from his house..."

Colin proposed the next step, and this time no one opposed; they had received the same task, only the remark was different from Colin’s, it was just a perfunctory mention of shared hardships and then it was finished.

Seeing everyone nod, Colin didn’t stand on ceremony: "Then, let’s align our thoughts. From now on, follow my instructions for the operation. If you have better ideas, you can also speak up."

He didn’t want the team to be dragged into greater trouble with everyone having their own ideas.

In a small team, it’s very important to have someone who can make decisions.

Colin compared the situations and felt he was suitable, so he had no intention of hiding his talents.

After all, now is not the time to be hiding his strength...

After inexplicably suffering a brutal beating at the window seat just moments ago, Colin realized that the thing hidden beneath "Passionate Paradise" was simply something he couldn’t handle...

Unlike before, when he could slaughter his way through when he was alone.

Waiting for his teammates to mess up and fall into a desperate situation before playing the role of a pig to eat a tiger wasn’t an option this time...

However, when Colin said this, the others couldn’t help but frown.

"Centered around you?"

"Why should we?"

"Probably, based on strength, I think this is the most appropriate from the perspective of strength."

"Strength?"

"Would this convince you to agree with my decision?"

Colin casually took out a sticker, and the others looked down to see a line of information appear in their retinas—"The False Powerhouse."

Although Colin didn’t share further information, they could only see the name without knowing the specific details of the item.

But the purple color of the name was enough to demonstrate its power.

"Purple Gear, impressive indeed, but it still lacks a bit of oomph..."

"How about this then?"

Colin waved his hand and showed off his ring—"Widow Yukionna."

"Green Gear? This..."

Isn’t this even worse than your previous equipment?

To showcase your strength, have you got the sequence wrong?

Moreover...

There might even be a Brother Shunzi in the team, and the big shot hasn’t even rushed to speak yet, so what turn is it yours...

Dog Brother was about to say this when a piece of information suddenly flashed through his mind, reminding him of the owner of this piece of equipment—Unnamed123456.

The only person currently from Bonfire Company who survived the "Descent Project" and also the only known public holder of a "Golden Artifact," who had repeatedly taken the top position in Bonfire Company—this mysterious employee.

As he realized this, the other two also paused, and their expressions turned much more serious as they came to the same conclusion.

"May I ask, Bro, your name is..."

"I’ve just luckily completed the ’Descent Project’ a few times, it’s not worth mentioning."

Colin replied evasively, yet he had already provided an answer.

Seeing Colin’s acknowledgement, even though it was strange, they felt a weird sense of security: "Alright, although I’m not fond of being arranged by someone else, since it’s Brother Shunzi, it’s okay, you have more experience than I do..."

These words, why do they feel a bit odd...

Colin muttered to himself inwardly, preparing to leave the school with everyone to head for the home of "Loafing Immortal" as instructed by the mission.

If they didn’t set out now, it wouldn’t be good for him to die at home.

"Loafing Immortal" dying was just losing a life, but what Colin was losing was a living signal amplifier.

Just then, at this moment, someone suddenly approached them.

"You three, the math teacher just told me to send for you, she wants to see you in the office, she has something to ask you..."
