Campfire Shelter

I didn't encounter much obstruction when I left the inn.

Colin and Tang De relaxedly came outside. In the cold and quiet night air, there was a trace of the unique local excrement and other mixed odors.

The streets were almost deserted except for the occasional patrol.

Even those guys who were seen lying on the street during the day seemed to be hiding in fear of the darkness of the dome.

Although Colin now feels that the probability of escaping at night is equally low, and it is a waste of time.

But now even if I know, I have to try it

"If your attempt fails, go find that noble woman and see if you can launch an encirclement and suppression of 'him' through her."

Colin was thinking in his mind as he quickly traveled through the streets and alleys.

After easily avoiding some Blackstone City guard patrols, the two of them arrived at the city wall again.

After sniffing the various smells in the air, Colin found a weak spot with few people.

He looked up at the ten-meter-high city wall, then turned to look behind him:

"Can you crawl?"

Tang Ken did not answer immediately. He looked up and observed. He noticed that the city wall was not built in a regular manner and there were many gaps. He nodded: "Yes, I can climb more than ten stories high with my bare hands if I have the chance." "

"That's fine. You have to crawl over as quickly as possible to avoid being discovered."

Colin reminded him without saying anything else. He looked around to make sure there were no problems around him, and then started climbing.

A minute later, the two successfully climbed over the city wall, which to ordinary people was like a chasm.

Outside the city wall, a large number of poor people gathered. They had no place to live, and they just tried to stay together and hide on the edge of the city's fire radiation, struggling to survive.

Occasionally there were bonfires lit in some places, but the flames were not very big.

"If the bonfire in the city is extinguished, most of these people will be unable to bear the risk and die, right?"

Colin glanced at them and thought of the contents in the "Book of Numerology", which mentioned that the biggest disaster would begin here.

They are at the bottom of the world and the first group to be sacrificed.

Withdrawing his gaze, Colin led Tang Ken towards the edge of the fire world, but he stopped after walking less than two or three hundred meters.

In front of his sight, at the edge of the fire, there was a faint layer of black haze.

It is at the edge of light, close to the outer darkness, and is inconspicuous. It is basically difficult to see unless you get close.

Snapped!

Colin took out a bottle of blended oil and threw it towards the black mist. He thought he could pass through it easily, but when he hit it, it bounced back and fell to the ground.

Without thinking much, he took out his lighter, lit a tissue and threw it over.

boom!

A huge amount of flames burned, and a heat wave came oncoming.

However, this raging flame had no effect on the "black mist".

"What exactly is this layer?" Tang Ken couldn't help but ask.

"have no idea for now."

Colin hesitated for a moment, took out a monocle from his pocket, pinched the upper and lower sides, and slowly brought it to the position of his left eye socket.

Plop~

The moment the lenses came close to his eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and an extremely strong feeling of palpitations arose in his heart.

A picture emerged in his mind: his eyes widened, and he fell down while lying bleeding.

Immediately, Colin quickly closed his eyes and threw out the lenses.

But even so, before he threw it away, he saw a huge and terrifying figure behind the thin black mist through the lens.

Its body is as huge as half a mountain, and it emits huge, angry wails all the time.

"ah!!!"

Colin covered his left eye, and blood continued to overflow from his fingers. His brain was stinging extremely, and he felt that his soul was trembling. His body couldn't help but squat down in pain.

Tang Ken, who was on the side, didn't know why, and wanted to step forward to help him, but suddenly found that his captain had long blood-red hairs growing like bamboo shoots in spring.

An invisible and violent aura spread rapidly.

What's even more counterintuitive is that the shadow under the captain keeps squirming, as if something is about to expand out of it.

"What's going on?" Tang Ken took a breath, not knowing what to do.

"No, don't come near me."

After Colin struggled to speak, he tensed his body and struggled to resist the severe pain in his brain.

After a while, the blood-red hair on his body retracted, his breathing became smoother, he regained some but not much thinking, and he realized it immediately.

My left eye is useless.

Just looked at it for a moment.

One of his left eyes is gone.

Colin, who was covered in cold sweat, as if he had been fished out of water, took two deep breaths, and there was a constant "buzzing" tinnitus on both sides of his ears.

He couldn't hear clearly what Tang Ken said next to him.

He took another look at the "analytical lens" that was thrown on the ground, and saw that it was full of cracks and was already scrapped.

and call up information related to it

[Analysis of the lens (seriously damaged and unusable): It will cost 813 points to repair it to the lowest usable state. 】

[Note: I am torn.]

[Note: This item is contaminated, and the pollution type is "the breath of ancient gods". Holding it for more than ten minutes may cause you to be watched by unknown beings and suffer from "lycanthropy". 】

"It's useless."

Colin took a deep breath. He didn't expect that he just wanted to see if he could find a breakthrough from the black fog, but he almost died suddenly because of it.

He didn't even dare to think about what the thing as big as a mountain was that he just saw.

I can only divert my attention and not think too much.

Then, he opened his resume and looked at it, and then twitched the corner of his mouth.

I saw a bunch of debuffs in the status column.

Including but not limited to "physical weakness", "neurasthenia", "left eye bursting with congestion", "vertigo", "temporary tinnitus".

"Uncomfortable."

Colin sat on the ground, his body shaking uncontrollably and shaking his head. He felt like his brain was shaking like jelly, and he couldn't think smoothly.

After sitting for a while, my body recovered a little.

"Captain? Captain?" Tang Ken's voice seemed to come from the side.

"It's okay, just a little injury."

Colin waved his hand, stepped forward to pick up the cracked analytical lens, and put it in his pocket.

Then, he took out a bar of nut chocolate for himself and put it in his mouth.

A hint of sweetness spreads in the mouth.

Then he took out the "Power of Gluttony Seal" and held it in his hand.

When holding this thing, Colin could feel that what he had just eaten was quickly transformed into nutrients and distributed throughout the body.

All body functions are quickly restored within a few minutes.

the only thing that is missing.

When using this thing, Colin had a complicated expression and didn't know what he was thinking.

At this moment, he felt speechless and empathized with the experience of the "evaluation department" judge.

But before I could think too much, a new task appeared in my mind.
