Chapter 36 “Bonfire Sacrifice Point”
Taking a deep breath, Colin turned around and glanced at the deepest pit of the church, which was filled with a large amount of ash, and decided to pile everyone here.
Set up a bonfire sacrifice site, and then let the employees begin to descend.
The work of stacking these corpses is not complicated, but when picking up those corpses, there is some resistance to the dead or death itself in the bottom of my heart.
Nearly an hour later, Colin piled up all the corpses in the big pit of the church.
"A total of one hundred and ninety-seven people, less than I guessed at the beginning."
Colin clapped his hands and looked at the huge pile of corpses in front of him. The shriveled and dehydrated corpses were like old trees biting each other and forming a large circle.
The height of the pile was three meters high. The pile of shriveled corpses did not emit any special smell, not even a stench. They just displayed death in front of them, wordless and absolutely silent.
When Colin was packing up these corpses, he discovered that there was generally nothing valuable on them.
Even if the clothes are usually patched, some people wearing red robes with flame patterns don't have them. This can only mean that someone has picked up the leaks, or they have given valuable things to others before.
Judging from the traces that these corpses have not been touched.
Colin prefers the latter.
"Unfortunately, I can't collect anything, and I don't know how to save some for me."
As Colin thought about it, he picked up the last few corpses and threw them on top of the pile of corpses.
At this point, the accumulation of corpses of all the followers of the Bonfire Church on the site was completed.
All that remains is the final step of igniting the fire.
He took out a bottle of blended oil from his pocket and was about to pour it, but after thinking about it, it seemed inappropriate to use this kind of thing in the church, so he changed it to alcohol.
There was a snap.
The unique blue transparent flame of alcohol burst into flames.
The moment the flame ignited, a special atmosphere escaped from the pile of corpses that were used as firewood. The flame seemed to be under some kind of control, covering the entire pile of corpses at once, and turned into a height of several meters in the blink of an eye. huge bonfire.
The blue fire turned to orange-red at the same time, burning brightly.
Miraculously, the flames that almost reached the top of the church didn't burn anything. Even when Colin stood beside the flames that were several times taller than himself, he didn't feel any scorching heat.
Moreover, if you listen carefully, you can seem to hear indistinct prayer whispers coming from the flames.
It was like the voice of someone who had died long ago sounded again.
The church, which had been abandoned for an unknown period of time, became somewhat strange and sacred.
At the same time, in Colin's heart, the world seemed to have an extra "coordinate".
As long as he is in this world, no matter where he is, he can feel the location of this bonfire and use it as a marker to determine his direction.
"In the game, isn't this just a save point or something?"
Colin looked up at the huge flames and suddenly thought, this church is now sealed.
Could he have died of carbon monoxide poisoning?
Although his body has been strengthened now, it has not yet become the ultimate biological form that can survive without air.
At this moment, a line of subtitles appeared on the retina.
[The "Bonfire Sacrifice Point" has been established. 】
Information related to the "Bonfire Sacrifice Point" emerged in Colin's mind.
[The special flame ignited by special firewood authorized by "Bonfire Company" can be used as the coordinate reference system of "Advent Project G-1". 】
[In addition, it possesses all people’s beautiful imaginations about flames, including but not limited to: “warmth”, “brightness”, “driving away darkness”, etc. 】
[In addition, it has a large number of properties for mysterious types such as anti-divination and anti-peeping. In most cases, it can only be observed through conventional physical means. 】
"It seemed very powerful, but it didn't explain to me whether I would die of carbon monoxide poisoning."
Colin complained and found an extra piece of data in his mind.
["Bonfire Sacrifice Point": Level 1. 】
[Remaining burning time: 29 days and 23 hours and 57 minutes. 】
[Note: The bonfire is about to go out, but there is no more firewood. You need to bring more bodies of powerful creatures to burn and extend the time. 】
【——Sacrifice a containment object that has been evaluated as a threat to level 2 (reference object: three-stage "lycanthropy") + 3000 points, which can increase the level of the bonfire and obtain more functions. 】
[——A "turbid energy block" can be produced after 23:57. 】
"Is there one or a few game designers mixed in at Bonfire Company?"
Colin blinked and began to wonder what the "turbid energy block" was.
It's a pity that it was not mentioned above, so we will have to wait a day to find out.
However, although there is still no information about the flame in front of me, but with the size of the flame, if there is a problem, the oxygen should be burned for a while, and there is no suffocation, which means that the problem is not serious.
"The next step is to summon the staff to deal with the things outside the door."
Dang——dang——dang——
The distant and ancient sound of the bell slowly faded away.
Li Ming stood up, shook his head, opened his eyes, and looked around in confusion, but he soon froze.
All around was an unfamiliar wasteland.
What was horrifying was that right next to him, there were four or five corpses lying in random directions.
They didn't know how long they had been dead. Their flesh and blood had long since weathered, leaving only their skeletons wrapped in rags.
"Was it so exciting when you first came here?"
Li Ming's scalp felt numb for a moment, and he took two deep breaths to recover.
Then, he noticed that his mutilated right hand, amputated right leg, and some burns on his body were all recovered at this moment.
No, to be more precise, my current body is not my own.
Is this the 'soul wear' mentioned at the meeting?
Li Ming felt his complete body for the first time in a long time.
At this time, a message suddenly came to his mind: "Can you see it?"
Li Ming was startled, then realized something, and instinctively responded "Yes" in his heart.
After receiving a reply, Colin wove another message and sent it.
"Well, let's get a feel for the mission and start on our way. The distance shouldn't be far. I'll wait for you here."
"OK."
Li Ming was about to ask where the other party was, but at this moment, a message came to his mind.
[Event 1: Find the "bonfire sacrificial point". 】
[Description: Your execution team leader is waiting for you there. Please act quickly to complete the rendezvous. 】
When he focused his attention on this, he, like Colin, noticed that signals seemed to be coming from a certain direction.
And he is like a signal receiver.
Even if you close your eyes, you can feel that there seems to be a bright flame in that place.
But when I opened my eyes, I didn't see anything special. A little further away, everything was blurry, as if there was a thin veil-like mist covering everything.
