Campfire Shelter

"However, this feeling of not being on top, just staring from the side, sometimes feels more disgusting than a direct conflict."

Colin took a deep breath. The uncomfortable peeping feeling in the sea would disappear briefly every time when the light of the lighthouse flickered, and then reappear shortly after. It was disturbing and extremely irritating at the same time.

Without thinking much, Colin calmed down his inner anger and then arranged for everyone to go upstairs.

After walking through the quaint spiral stone steps to the top, they unexpectedly discovered that the space at the top of the lighthouse was much larger than they had imagined, almost nearly three hundred square meters.

Xia Liufang couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this some special means of compressing space?"

If you look up from the lighthouse, you can see that it only covers thirty or fifty square meters, so it can't be that big.

obviously.

The inner and outer spaces are different from what they observe with the naked eye.

"Don't worry about his methods, just call everyone up first." Qin Chuan reminded.

Since the space above is so spacious, there is no need for people to continue to squeeze in the narrow corridors. When they called people to come up, Colin walked to the middle of the lighthouse.

There is also a staircase that is only about two meters long. On the staircase is a small platform, which seems to be filled with luminous items.

Somehow, after walking into this spacious hall, Colin felt that the attraction was getting stronger and stronger.

Soon, when Colin walked up the stairs and saw the items placed on the platform, he couldn't help but take a breath.

That was actually a person!

No, more accurately, a corpse.

A mummy that is almost the same as a skeleton. The clothes and skin on the mummy seem to have weathered long ago, and only the mottled bones remain here.

"Looking at the shape of the bones, it looks like the body of a woman."

Although he had never studied medicine, he had a lot of practical experience and was able to quickly identify the gender of the skeleton by examining the bones.

But then, while Colin was surprised, he couldn't help but become confused.

Since what is placed here is a corpse, what is that glowing thing?

Plop.

The heartbeat suddenly sounded in my ears.

Colin was startled and subconsciously looked towards the sound. Only then did he notice that on the chest of the female corpse with some signs of weathering, there was actually a dark red thing that was full of cracks and looked like a heart.

At this moment, it really swelled like a heart, and a bright flame burst out from under its old bark-like skin.

The fire spread through Colin

For a moment, I looked at it from the perspective of a lighthouse.

The bright and clear fire light almost lit up the entire area including the inside and outside of the lighthouse.

All the indescribable and annoying sense of peeping, like a cut off water flow, all retreated and disappeared.

At the same moment, while Colin knew the source of the light, he also understood why the flickering light in the lighthouse gave him an indescribable attraction.

Because, the mummy lying among them is a "fire supporter"!

The characteristics carried in the heart have not passed away with her passing, but have been shining in the lighthouse on the dark seaside, guiding the lost.

"Hiss, the personality contained in the fire just now seems to be more than one level stronger than the flame on my body, right?"

Colin thought back to the flames that passed by his face, and knew that if it had been directed at him, he would probably be dead.

But compared to this, he suddenly remembered that when the firelight flickered, he seemed to have noticed that there was a line of text on the edge of the platform, on which it seemed that a line of arrogant and confident words had been casually carved with a knife -

‘I will stay here for mankind forever, ignite myself, overlook the sunless sea, and prevent them from taking a step ashore, even if my soul is annihilated and my body is dead. ’

"Is this why the things in the sea didn't come up? Is this so powerful?"

Colin clicked his tongue, wondering who this person was. If she was an employee of the company, she would have been at least C-level or above during her lifetime. She could be said to be a real senior employee, not a parallel import like Luo Yiming.

But in the end, perhaps in order to prevent the disaster, he died here.

Then, Colin saw a line of small fonts next to the crazy handwriting: "Before the end of 2044, this sentence will always apply. Anyone who enters by mistake does not need to worry. You can jump off the lighthouse and leave here after 'dawn'."

"It's 2044 again."

Colin whispered to himself, feeling that the whole world knew that the end of the world was coming that year, but they were the only ones who didn't know.

But he was already used to this, and he planned to ask Miss Rabbit when the time came, so he didn't think much about it.

Later, Colin saw a familiar eight-pointed star copper badge next to the body.

After hesitating for a moment, he leaned forward, reached out and took a closer look at the copper badge stained with some weathered ashes.

It seems that the badge is severely damaged due to the battle, but if you pay attention, you can still vaguely see it. On it is a figure holding a burning heart in his right hand and holding it up, like a torch, lighting up the darkness.

Turning the badge over, Colin saw a few mottled words on the back of the incomplete copper badge.

Even though these words were missing and could not actually be read out, Colin still read them silently in his heart——

"When night comes, someone should light a fire and shine it in all directions."

Holding the badge, he slowly raised his head and glanced at the corpse of the fire supporter lying on it. His heart was touched, and he felt a rare feeling of admiration.

With respect and paying tribute to the corpse, Colin put the badge back in place.

He didn't dare to have any thoughts about the above things.

It would be troublesome if something were taken away and a disaster broke out here, making the end of the world come earlier.

"Did you find anything special up there?" Qin Chuan's voice came from down the stairs.

Everyone has been brought up, but I don’t know what Colin is doing up there.

"fine."

Ke Lin shook his head, withdrew the hand that placed the badge, turned around and glanced at the lightless sea, keenly aware of the inexplicable sense of peeping coming again and again, but this time he felt much more at ease.

Protected by the remaining fire of this venerable "fire bearer", those things in the sea can only look at it and dare not go ashore.

“Really domineering”

Colin sighed inwardly as he walked down the stairs.

He felt that when disasters broke out in the future, it was hard to say whether he would survive, but if he couldn't survive, he hoped to end his life in such a domineering way like this senior.

It is extremely powerful when alive, and can suppress one party even when dead.

"Speaking of which, if the end of the world really comes, it's hard for others to tell, but the old dean and those in the orphanage will have to find ways to make arrangements."

Colin didn't care much about many things, but he couldn't let go of the old dean who raised him.

After returning to the normal world this time, apart from financial matters, he had to leave something for the orphanage.

Just, at this time.

"Huh~huh~huh~"

A soft humming sound interrupted Colin's thoughts, like a child humming a tune.

The children had been humming on the train, so he wasn't too surprised. He heard it and found it quite pleasant.

However, the next moment, he noticed that the sound came from downstairs, not upstairs, and Colin suddenly woke up——

"Who's singing?"
