Taking a deep breath, Colin turned around and looked at the large pit filled with a large amount of ashes at the deepest part of the church, and decided to pile everyone here.
A bonfire ritual site is established, and then the employees begin arriving.
The work of piling these corpses together is not complicated, but when I pick up those corpses, there is some resistance to the dead or death itself in my heart.
Nearly an hour later, Colin piled all the bodies in the pit of the church.
"There are one hundred and ninety-seven people in total, which is less than I originally guessed..."
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 collecting these corpses, he discovered one thing: they generally had nothing of value 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 signs that these corpses had not been touched in any way.
Colin prefers the latter.
"It's a pity that I can't collect anything, and I don't know how to leave any for me."
Colin thought as he picked up the last few corpses and threw them on top of the pile of corpses.
At this point, the bodies of all Bonfire Church followers present were piled up.
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 flames ignited, a special atmosphere began to escape from the pile of corpses used as firewood. The flames seemed to be under some kind of control, and suddenly enveloped the entire pile of corpses, becoming several meters high in the blink of an eye. huge bonfire.
The blue fire turned to orange-red at the same time, burning brightly.
Miraculously, the fire that almost reached the top of the church did not scorch anything. Even when Colin stood next to the flames that were several times taller than himself, he did not feel any burning 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...]
[Furthermore, it has a large number of mysterious characteristics 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. 】
[——Sacrificing a threatened biological containment object with an evaluation of level 2 (reference object: three-stage "lycanthropy") +3000 points can increase the level of the bonfire and gain 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 flames in front of us, based on the size of the flames, if there is a problem, the oxygen should be burned for a while. There is no suffocation now, which means that the problem is not big.
"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.
"Is it so exciting when you first come 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 penetration' 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 Sacrifice 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 there seemed to be signals 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.
