Chapter 1250 The Essence of Flame

"So, should we send a few people over to take a look? Determine the specific conditions of the fire scene."

Mai Yuqiang said eagerly: "To be honest, I still like to join in the fun, so does anyone want to go with me to watch the fire scene up close? Oh no, I should say to help?"

"Take me one." Yin En raised his hand and said: "I also like to join in the fun, and I am also curious about what was ignited and how could there be such a big movement."

Since both Mai Yuqiang and Yin En have said so, Liu Xing can only choose to add one, "Then let's go over and take a look now. After all, only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle, so we have to figure out this situation now." Is the fire someone targeting us?”

Ever since, Liu Xing and Yin En, together with Mai Yuqiang and Dio, after getting their weapons, went to watch the fun with their guns.

Because there is a fire station next to the industrial zone, when Liu Xing and others who were joining in the fun rushed to the scene of the fire, the fire brigade had already begun to put out the fire and provide disaster relief.

"This tastes just right."

Yin En took a deep breath and said with a smile: "In addition to the smell of firewood, there is also a trace of paint smell; but this also proves one thing, that is, the main cause of this fire is not the hoarding of furniture stores. There was a lot of paint and then there was an explosion because the fireworks went off."

Liu Xing looked at the fire that was still burning, nodded and said: "Yes, this fire is unlikely to be caused by paint, but this fire is a bit too big, right? Although the wood is indeed very It burns easily, but the wood in the furniture factory is basically pre-cut boards, so the burning efficiency is good for a while, but it won't last long, and it won't be burned like it is now."

"Yes, the truth of this fire may be completely different from our previous guesses."

Dio shook his head and continued: "But the most important thing is that we have to determine whether this fire was an accident or someone intentional. If it is the former, then everything is easy to say, but if this fire The fire was deliberately caused by some people, so we have to be careful, because the fire is likely to be directed at us."

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, he saw a car parked next to the fire truck, and then a middle-aged man in his forties got out of the car.

As soon as this middle-aged man got off the car, he ran to talk to the commander next to the fire truck. His expression seemed quite anxious.

"If nothing else happens, this person should be the boss of this furniture factory."

Liu Xing looked around and found that there were quite a few people running over to join in the fun, and among them Liu Xing also saw an "acquaintance", that is, the man who accidentally knocked over the weapon box outside the cannery.

It seems that this fire has nothing to do with the cannery, but the cannery, which did something bad, is also afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, so it specially sent people to investigate what happened here.

Because the industrial area is already considered a suburb of Nagoya, the people who came to watch the excitement at this time were from various factories. Therefore, around the burning furniture factory, many cars with various factory advertisements appeared, and all of a sudden everyone was shocked. Liu Xing mistakenly thought he had arrived at an advertising center.

At this moment, the director of the furniture factory left the fire truck with a sad face, and several people who looked like bosses called him over.

After Liu Xing and others made some eye contact, they sneaked over, but this could not be considered sneaking, because many people had already gone to watch the fun.

So when Liu Xing and others approached, they heard the director of the furniture factory mention the important point, "I had something to go home to deal with yesterday, so I handed over all the affairs of the furniture factory to the second-in-command of our furniture factory. , that is, the sales manager Gu Shou came to take charge. As a result, Gu Shou found a reason to go to the city this afternoon to meet customers, and no one was appointed to be in charge of the furniture factory, so those bastards set off fireworks in the factory. , and the sparks fell just in time to ignite the paint...and the things Bolton left at my place."

"Bolton? I remember that guy was a wholesaler of grain and oil, right? So the stuff he left at your place was already oil or flour, right?"

A person who seemed to be very familiar with the director of the furniture factory continued: "No wonder the sound of the explosion was so loud. It turned out that there was a flour explosion. I still remember that when I was a child, there was a flour processing factory near my home. It’s a small factory, but one day a new employee couldn’t help but want to smoke, and then a match detonated the entire factory, and the windows of my house were shattered.”

"Flour explosion?"

A person next to him said in a skeptical tone: "Although the power of a flour explosion is indeed very powerful, it is not easy to meet the conditions for a flour explosion. To put it simply, a sealed space must be filled with floating particles. Flour particles, so that the flour may be detonated, but I remember that your furniture factory, Lao Liu, does not have a closed warehouse in order to dry the wood, right?"

"That's right, my furniture factory doesn't have any enclosed space, and although there is a lot of flour in the things that Bolton asked me to help store, these flours are all packed in bags, and then packed in boxes. The boxes are stacked, so it shouldn’t be an explosion of flour, right? Unless those bastards are just idle and find all the flour and throw it away, which may cause a flour explosion... But no matter how stupid those guys are, , it’s impossible to play like this.”

The director of the furniture factory, known as Lao Liu, couldn't help but sigh again, and said sadly: "It's a pity that those guys can never appear in front of me again, otherwise I have to give them a slap in the face to make them good." It improves your memory..."

When everyone present heard what Lao Liu said, they all sighed and then shook their heads in silence.

After a while, the fire finally subsided. . . To be precise, the furniture factory has been burned down.

At this time, Yin En took out a monocular telescope from his pocket, glanced around the ruins of the furniture factory, then shook his head and said: "This is a telescope with night vision function, but it can still see anything useful." Missing, so let’s get out of here first.”

Liu Xing glanced at the ruined furniture factory. Just when he was about to nod and say something, he saw a small flame that seemed to be swaying in a corner of the furniture factory.

No, this is not a small flame!

Liu Xing took a closer look and determined that this small flame was suspended in mid-air, so this should be the legendary spirit of fire!

The Fire Spirit is a relatively special mythical creature in the Cthulhu mythology, because there are actually two mythical creatures using the name Fire Spirit. The reason is that two authors chose this name at the same time.

However, since one of the two authors is named Drake, who is the one who really promoted "Cthulhu Mythos", his Fire Spirit will be more famous. Therefore, under normal circumstances, The "Fire Spirit" that appears in the Cthulhu Run game lobby is the Fire Spirit described by Drake.

Of course, whether it is the Fire Spirit written by Drake or the Fire Spirit written by another author, both are the descendants of Cthurgia, the ruler of the old days, but the Fire Spirit written by another author If you insist on studying it carefully, these fire spirits are a bit like deep divers. They not only believe in Cthurgia, but also believe in Cthurgia's high priest Phtagua, and this Phtagua is a A large fire spirit.

Back to the topic.

The reason why the Fire Spirit is a special mythical creature, apart from its special life experience, is its most eye-catching characteristics - double attack and physical immunity.

As the name suggests, the Fire Spirit is a self-aware fireball. Because the Cthugya they believe in is a large fireball called the "earth sun", the Fire Spirit is also considered by some to be Ketu. The descendant of Gea, or a part of Cthurgia, after all, when Cthurgia is summoned to come to the earth, the Fire Essence will be brought along, and then follow Cthurgia to burn the entire world.

Because of this, the Fire Essence has the ability to make most items burn, so when players fight the Fire Essence, they are likely to have their clothes and hair burned off by the Flame Essence. . . Not only will this make the player very embarrassed, it will also make the player very depressed, because all the props that the player carries will also be wiped out.

Apart from this, the reason why players least want to face the Fire Essence is still those four words - physical immunity.

Faced with a ball of flame, do you think you have the ability to kill him with one blow?

Again, except for a small number of players, most players can actually only cause physical damage to the enemy, so the physically immune Fire Essence is a difficult existence for players, and even if they use spells , it must be a fire-restraint spell to work.

However, various types of fire extinguishing devices, even a bucket of water and a bucket of sand, are great weapons for the Fire Essence, so if you happen to have these things on hand, it is quite simple to deal with the Fire Essence.

Just like the flame spirit that Liu Xing sees now, it has been almost extinguished by the fire brigade.

However, even with such a small ball of flame essence, Liu Xing did not dare to approach it rashly, because the double attack of the flame essence is really difficult to order, because the flame essence will not only cause high damage to the player, but also It will absorb the player's MP value, and it will absorb a full ten points at a time.

You must know that many players have character cards whose MP value does not exceed ten points.

In this way, as long as the Fire Essence's attack determination is successful, the player's HP and MP may bottom out at the same time.

Although for ordinary players, this MP is something they will never use in their lifetime, but if the MP bottoms out, the players will also be affected by various debuffs.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing was just about to remind Yin En and others when he saw the flame spirit suddenly disappearing.

It seemed that the summoning time for this Fire Spirit was over, so it returned directly to Cthurgia.

"Liu Xing, what are you looking at?"

Yin En patted Liu Xing's shoulder and said, "There's nothing interesting to see here, so let's go back to sleep."

Because there were a lot of outsiders around, Liu Xing nodded directly and took the lead and got back into the car.

After Yin En and others were in their seats, Liu Xing said, "I just saw a flame spirit."

"What?!"

Yin En and the other three looked at Liu Xing in surprise.

"The warning from the Flame Essence is very small. If you don't pay attention, you may think of it as a small flame that has not been extinguished. However, I can confirm that it is the legendary Flame Essence, and precisely because it is the Flame Essence Only then can we explain the fire in the furniture factory."

After listening to Liu Xing's words, Yin En immediately stood up and asked: "The appearance of the flame essence can indeed explain the ins and outs of this fire, but why did these flame essences suddenly appear in this furniture factory? What if it was Someone did it deliberately. Then I would like to ask what grudge he has against this furniture factory. What grudge? He actually summoned the spirit of fire to deal with the furniture factory? If this fire is actually caused by a public faction against us, then they Why kill a chicken with a knife?"

"Accident."

Dior said at this time: "This is most likely an accident, because I was bored when I was living in seclusion in Morio Town. I have read many folklores of the island country. Although most of these folklores are fictional, but among them There are still some parts that may be true, such as the fire at Honnoji Temple!”

"Dio, are you saying that the fire at Honnoji Temple was actually started by the spirit of fire?" Yin En asked subconsciously.

Dio nodded and replied seriously: "Although Oda Nobunaga did not have many soldiers around him when he was at Honnoji Temple, there were not many soldiers that Akechi Mitsuhide could completely trust. After all, those soldiers were assigned by Oda Nobunaga. Akechi Mitsuhide, so if Oda Nobunaga ascends and shouts, many soldiers will choose to defect on the battlefield; the most important thing is that we all know that Oda Nobunaga also has a powerful mythical creature as his backing. Otherwise, he would not have the chance to dominate the world."

"So, although Oda Nobunaga in Honnoji Temple does not have many subordinates, the quality of his subordinates is not low. If he really wants to fight with Akechi Mitsuhide with real swords and guns, it is not certain who will win, so Oda Nobunaga The reason for such a complete defeat, I think, can only be found from the fire that burned down Honnōji Temple, and the final answer that can be found is the spirit of fire, because even powerful mythical creatures, as long as there is no counterattack against the spirit of fire means, then they can only have one result when facing the spirit of fire - giving them away for free."
