[After being vigilant for a while, you finally couldn't help but start to try. First, you moved your body in a small area. When you found that there was no attack, you turned around...]

[You see a scene that shocks you. There are corpses everywhere in the church. They died in a kneeling posture. The direction of kneeling is exactly where the pulpit is inside the church. There seems to be an eight-pointed star altar there. 】

[After you determine that the reason why the invisible monster no longer attacks is because it does not know why it does not enter the church, you walk towards the altar. 】

[Because, you are sure, the signal comes from the eight-pointed star altar. 】

[During this period, you have been carefully guarding against the corpses on the ground, worried that they might be resurrected, but fortunately, this did not happen. They died more thoroughly than you thought. Even if a mage who can resurrect the dead comes, most of the time he will not be able to. Resurrect it. 】

[Not long after, you came to the altar and saw the former company employee. 】

【His state surprises you. 】

[But fortunately, apart from the accident involving the former company employee, no other accidents occurred. 】

[You successfully completed this mission. 】

[You return to reality and become an official employee of Bonfire Company, and the reward obtained from this mission allows you to stand up from the wheelchair again. 】

[Not long after, you came to this world again. This time, you thought you were full-fledged enough to deal with the enemy outside the church. 】

[So, you stopped ink stains and decisively opened the door to meet the enemy. 】

[After going out, you used a color spray to try to reveal the enemy, but failed. Not long after you went out, you were attacked again. 】

[Relying on the special ability "Fatal Insight" brought by the passive instinct of "lycanthropy", you avoided attacks three seconds in advance several times, but you did not find the opponent. 】

[You wanted to return to the church without being able to detect the enemy. Unfortunately, you failed and your head was chopped off only halfway. 】

[Before you die, you finally realize...]

[What the enemy knows is not invisibility, but another method, and it must have an entity. 】

[But before you can figure out the reason...]

【you are dead. 】

The contents of the book pages are engraved into the brain and then disappear as before.

The feeling of being outnumbered appeared again.

After Colin scanned the information for the first time, he extracted several relatively important pieces of information.

"First, there is no danger in the church, and as long as you enter here, the monster outside doesn't seem to come in..."

"Second, the former company employee is indeed here, but he should be in poor condition and unable to respond. He should have been injured by enemies outside..."

"Third, Bonfire Company does have the means to treat 'ALS'..."

Colin's thoughts paused here. For him, these were the most important pieces of information at hand.

After confirming these points, Colin thought about the last few paragraphs.

Isn't that monster outside invisible?

"It's not invisible, but also has a method similar to invisibility? There is still an entity..."

Colin thought for a moment and then gave up.

Let’s leave this issue for later. The most important thing now is to complete the task!

"I don't want to stay in this damn place any longer!"

Colin took a deep breath and turned around.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still a little shocked when he saw the scene in the church...

The church hall, which was approximately more than a thousand square meters, was densely packed with corpses.

They were all mummies with withered flesh and blood, standing next to each other and kneeling together towards the back of the church.

Look in the direction where these people are worshiping.

There was an altar placed there, with several things enshrined on it and some melted white candles beside it.

Suddenly, a large number of associations emerged in his mind.

Didn't everyone in the town escape, but came here?

What are they worshiping?

What are you avoiding again?

Is that the invisible enemy outside?

No... it's not that bad. If it does it, it should be all broken corpses, not mummified corpses. Moreover, the coverage area of ​​this disaster spans at least tens or hundreds of kilometers, and even the bacteria passing by will be killed...

Colin gathered his thoughts, took a deep breath, and then walked cautiously towards the altar - just like what was mentioned in [The Book of Numerology·Fragment].

All he has to do now is to do things step by step.

The huge body stood on tiptoes in a somewhat funny posture, walked past the corpses, came to the altar and saw the things placed on it——

One is in the center, a broken skull with no chin, polished and shiny, and engraved with many mysterious runes; one on the left, a rusty badge about the size of a palm; one on the right, broken, A rusty...revolver?

Speaking of which...where are my former colleagues?

Colin was a little confused. He didn't see his former colleague as the numerology book said...

At this time, a message appeared in my mind.

[The specific origin point of the signal has been confirmed. "Event 1" has been completed. Do you want to complete this event? 】

"Is this done? Where are the former employees of the company? Wait..."

Colin was fooling around, and suddenly realized something, and looked at the skull on the altar—could this be the former employee of the company, right?

"Event 1" flashed slightly in his mind, and a "revelation" from above made him realize that this was indeed the former employee.

"Fuck!"

Colin made a rude statement. Before he entered the church, he thought the employee might be in trouble and needed help. When he arrived at the church, he didn't see the employee, so he thought he might be seriously injured and unconscious, or had gone cold.

But what I didn't expect was that not only did the former employee get cold, but his head was cut off and made into a sacrificial instrument.

this...

This is a bit embarrassing.

Colin looked back at the large group of dead mummies behind him - are the local residents so unfriendly?

Or did this old man do something outrageous?

"However, with the look of this old man... no wonder the 'book of numerology' said that I would be surprised..."

At that time, he was still thinking, what battles had he not seen along the way? Whether he is seriously injured, comatose, or dead, there is nothing unexpected...

But after coming here...

Looking at this polished and shiny skull - I have never seen this before.

Colin took a deep breath, suppressed his slightly excited emotions, and decided to complete the task.

Immediately afterwards, a transparent vortex suddenly formed in front.

A suction force was generated in the vortex, and the three items on the altar, the skull and the badge, were directly sucked in——

mission completed!

At the same time, the world in front of me began to lose color and became blurry, as if it had been painted with layer after layer of mosaic, gradually losing its original color and outline.

In a short time, this place turned into a gray space.

Dang——dang——dang——

A long, distant, heavy bell rang in my ears.

["Advent Protocol G-2" is starting...]
