SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire
Chapter 892 - 892 595 The Disappeared It
Chapter 892: Chapter 595 The Disappeared “It”. Chapter 892: Chapter 595 The Disappeared “It”. “Is this for real?! It couldn’t be a trap, could it?”
“So far, I’ve never seen a fake account! It can’t be fake, it’s Brother Shunzi’s account!”
“He’s back! They’re all back!”
“@654321! I just knew it, Brother Shunzi, you’d definitely come back. Where are you now? Let’s charge once more together!”
“…”
In an instant, the surviving employees exploded with excitement. After struggling so long in this oppressive doomsday world, there was finally some good news for Pete’s sake!
Instantly, noticing Brother Shunzi’s message, they all started frantically asking questions.
“Life Mentor Adorable”: @654321, what’s this about a chicken dinner? What’s going on? Whatever it is, Brother Shunzi, count me in!
“Loafing Immortal”: Add me too! I want revenge!
“Happiness is Superman!”: Me as well! I’m still alive, simply surviving on my hatred for these darn things. As long as I can get revenge on them, death doesn’t matter!
…
One by one, employees swiftly spoke up, a stark contrast to their previous “timid and afraid of death”.
Now, their beliefs had drastically changed.
The catastrophe made people grow, but the cost was way too high.
They had lost too much…
Colin looked at the familiar IDs, shadows of their corresponding figures flickering in his mind, and couldn’t help but sigh.
From the first announcement of refuge to now, it had only been a little over three years, but everything seemed utterly transformed.
Even, from his perspective, it seemed to be about half a year…
Since he had been asleep for a long time.
Upon waking, many things were simply gone.
Silently shaking his head, Colin typed back “Hold your horses,” and then informed them that he needed to check up on everyone’s situation before making further arrangements.
Like confirming locations, for instance.
Otherwise, even though employees said they were on Earth, the Earth was as vast as ever.
Bringing everyone together would indeed be an arduous task for him.
Moreover, when it came to location confirmation, Colin had to be careful. He could only use landmarks in his mind to ask if any employees had seen similar objects. If so, they would discreetly confirm the details.
He wouldn’t let either party disclose their current positions, just that they would meet at a certain place later.
But as he thought this through, Colin suddenly realized something was amiss.
Just then, an employee chatting with him sent over a message:
“Actually, that ‘Stupid Robot’ has disappeared. There are risks to reporting locations now, but it’s not as dangerous anymore…”
“Disappeared?”
Colin was taken aback, thinking carefully, he realized he indeed hadn’t seen those things making any noise.
He sent out a query about this and quickly got an answer: at the start of the disaster, those things were around, but then one day, they simply vanished.
As if they had disappeared in the blink of an eye without any trace.
Currently, the employees were clueless about the situation, not knowing whether to take it as a good or bad thing, but most actually preferred it when these things were visible every day in the chat channel.
Not because they felt affection for it from constant contact, but because, for many corporate employees, this damn thing was like a cockroach.
It was terrifying to see it one moment, and then not see it the next.
Especially since it was a tremendously dangerous and horrifying entity.
However, compared to the clueless employees, Colin had some guesses…
“The disappearance timing is somewhat close to when Old Master Wu summoned ‘Script City,’ but I’m not certain if it’s related.”
“I currently can’t detect its specific location, although I’ve never been able to sense it. ‘Lady Rabbit’ once said that solving it might require higher clearance, yes, the key is clearance, not power…”
Colin pursed his lips, suspecting that during the disaster, it had perhaps achieved some unknown objective and left the internal group chat.
Now, immediate problems obviously didn’t concern this.
Unable to track it, he would put it aside for now.
Later, when he had a chance, he would see and confirm whether it had escaped, been snatched by some entities, been completely sealed, or something else…
“Brother Shunzi, do you not need me over there?” “Life Mentor Adorable” suddenly asked.
“Your location isn’t quite suitable. For now, just focus on taking refuge, and wait for the results,” Colin replied succinctly.
After being promoted to Level C Clearance, his speech restrictions had been lifted.
No longer did he feel an eerie unease when he added a couple of extra words like before.
‘From what I can see, it should be some corporate response mechanisms left by this world, targeting specifically…’Lady Rabbit’, or rather, including her and all ‘outsiders’.’
Colin raised his hand to stroke his chin, feeling that Earth’s defenses were somewhat “unrecognizable.”
Somewhat like a non-intelligent mechanical execution system…
It wouldn’t play on the fringes of manipulation like the “World Code-13” branch office.
It is what it is.
At this moment, “Life Mentor Adorable,” seeing Colin’s response, sent a message that appeared quite regretful: “Alright.”
