SCP Corporation: Contain Bonfire-Chapter 182 Mie City._1

Outside the narrow door, an endless twilight shrouded a strange city devoid of any vitality, where every building standing under the dusk seemed like an old man with one foot in the grave, surrounded by the air of twilight, not yet dead but close to death.

Gurgle...

Colin swallowed hard, his expression extremely unsightly. With his rich experience, he clearly understood that he and the others had unknowingly arrived in another world.

And the fact that there was no "Descent Protocol" prompt during the process indicated that it was not through official channels...

"Was it that suspected ’Eighth Level Agent’ who did this? What was her purpose? Just to throw me over here? Is it targeting me, or others as well? And what about that thing, that future ’me’ mentioned, that slipped away?"

A mass of confusion erupted in Colin’s heart.

At that moment, a mechanical voice rang out: "Warning, connection with the outside world is interrupted, the abnormality index of the area outside the door is extremely high, please proceed with caution..."

Any clear-eyed person could see that something was wrong outside. Did that even need to be said?

Colin grumbled internally and discreetly put away the "Fusion Card: Smiling Mountain of Corpses".

"Lock on ’temporary number-1’ creature lost, please be careful to avoid surprise attacks."

"That thing’s gone?" Qin Chuan and the others sighed with relief upon hearing this, remembering that after they ran to the second sublevel, that monster did not continue the pursuit.

They wondered if it was due to some kind of territorial limitation.

But now was not the time to worry about that; the situation at hand was even more troublesome...

"Cough cough cough, where is this place?" The middle-aged man looked ahead with an ashen face.

"I don’t know either, but it seems like it’s not our world. It could be... the future?" Qin Chuan said uncertainly. Now that they were sure the monster behind them had disappeared, they didn’t feel as urgent a need to leave.

"If it really is, what should we do?"

"I..." Qin Chuan looked at the others, exchanging glances. Most had no good ideas, and for the moment, couldn’t think of what to do next.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation; he had never even seen it before.

Seeing that the group was directionless, Colin spoke up: "That ’Eighth Level Agent’ you mentioned, what was she doing during the incident, or besides what we’ve already discussed, was there anything unusual?"

If they could figure out this information, then they would not be so passive moving forward.

"The missions that require an ’Eighth Level Agent’ are highly confidential. We couldn’t possibly know." someone shook their head.

So, that line of inquiry was at a dead end... Colin rubbed his forehead, about to speak, when the only woman present, Xia Liufang, said, "I do know something unusual; I vaguely remember that she seemed to be going to deal with the followers of the ’Mother of the Red Moon’..."

The Red Moon, always the damn Red Moon, it feels like every issue on Earth was caused by these bastards... Colin couldn’t help but curse internally.

Indeed, nowadays it seemed that no matter the issue, their shadows could always be seen lurking behind.

Thinking this, Colin asked about the situation with the "Mother of the Red Moon" followers, trying to understand why they were causing trouble...

"I’m not clear on the specifics. According to them, besides wanting to summon the ’Red Moon’ to save the world, they seem to continuously cause various disasters and troubles. Well, if I have to say, it’s like they’re pure villains—no, to be more accurate, they’re like a bunch of shit-stirrers causing trouble everywhere." Qin Chuan provided some well-known information.

"Sigh, these details aren’t very helpful..."

Colin massaged his forehead, glanced at the world outside, then picked up the "small" parchment and looked over it. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The words "mission completed" on it seemed almost like a mockery to them.

Moreover, they weren’t sure if it was because they’d come to this place, but although they had completed the mission, it had not been settled.

The parchment seemed stuck, unable to perform any action.

"However, since we were able to come here, there must be a way to leave. That future ’you’ mentioned it, didn’t he? There should be other projects within their refuge. Maybe we can try that," Xia Liufang suggested.

"That’s the only option now, to look for information on that refuge," replied Colin and the others with nods.

After confirming one last time that the bizarre sewer space had only one exit, they passed through the door one by one, leaving the sewer district behind.

The robot led the way without detecting anything, followed by the others. The anticipated scenario where the door would disappear halfway did not occur, and they all emerged successfully.

As he stepped into the world covered by the twilight light, Colin distinctly felt some indescribable discomfort, but he wasn’t sure what it was.

He looked back at the door behind him, seeing it situated atop a building, like a broken bridge, and it didn’t vanish with their exit.

"If we encounter any trouble, we can consider going back to the first sublevel of the sewer," someone suggested.

It seemed that as long as they stayed on the first sublevel, they wouldn’t suffer attacks.

Of course, Colin knew that the entire sewer district was safe, but apart from being "safe," there was nothing else there, and he had a feeling that if they stayed, they might never be able to leave.

The longer they stayed, the stronger this feeling became.

Looking away, Colin looked up at the sky where there was no sun to be seen, but judging from the shadows of buildings, it seemed that the yellow light might be falling directly from the center of the sky, making the whole city look desolate and dying.

Then, the team began their move, aiming to find a large mall or a park of some sort.

According to Qin Chuan and other official personnel, if there was a refuge in this place, it was likely built in these types of places, which is why they chose this as their first direction of exploration.

While moving, they tried to stick to the shadows cast by the tall buildings, avoiding direct exposure to the yellow light to prevent any accidents.

After all, the future "Colin" had mentioned that the civilization of this world was destroyed by multiple S Level disasters, and who knows if this eerie twilight could be one of them.

Not much was said along the way. After scanning over buildings, streets, and shattered windows for nearly an hour, they had gained no more information other than the fact that this city was in ruins.

"This place doesn’t seem futuristic either, except for a coconut juice advert that bragged ’I’ve been drinking it since childhood, for 41 years,’ it doesn’t seem like there’s any evidence of the future here. There are no noticeable changes, no particularly new things." Colin’s gaze moved away from a faded coconut juice bottle on the ground as he looked forward at a street sign, which referred to ’Yangcheng’s People’s Park.’ This suggested that they might be in a somewhat renowned southern metropolis of the motherland.

However, as of now, it seemed to have nothing to do with prosperity.
