Real Cthulhu Running Game

   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."

   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 from a close distance? Oh no, should I say help?"

   "Take me one." Yin En raised his hand and said, "I also like to join in the fun, and I'm also curious about what was ignited and why there is such a big movement."

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

  So, Liu Xing and Yin En, together with Mai Yuqiang and Dior, took their guns to watch the fun after they took their weapons.

  Because there is a fire station next to the industrial zone, when Liu Xing and others rushed to the scene of the fire, the fire brigade had already started to put out the fire and rescue the disaster.

   "This tastes just right."

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

Liu Xing looked at the still-burning fire, 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 strong. It's easy to burn, but the wood in the furniture factory is basically a pre-cut plank, so the combustion efficiency is good for a while, but it won't last long, and it's impossible to burn like it is now."

   "Yeah, the truth of this fire may be completely different from our previous guess."

Dio shook his head and continued: "But the most important thing is that we have to determine whether this fire was an accident or whether it was intentional by some people. If it is the former, then everything is fine, but if this fire is The fire was deliberately created by some people, so we have to be careful, because this 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 the middle-aged man got out of the car, he ran to talk to the commander next to the fire truck, looking anxious.

   "If nothing else, this person should be the owner 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 that has done a bad deed is also afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, so it also specially sent someone to investigate what happened here.

Because the industrial zone is already a suburb of Nagoya, the people who came to watch the lively at this time came from various factories, so around the burning furniture factory, there were a lot of cars with various factory advertisements, and all of them suddenly let go. Liu Xing mistakenly thought he was coming to 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 eye contact, they sneaked in, but this can't be considered sneaky, because now many people have gone to watch the fun.

So when Liu Xing and others approached, they heard that the director of the furniture factory just mentioned the key point, "I had something to do at home yesterday, so I handed over the affairs of the furniture factory to the second-in-command of our furniture factory. , that is, the sales director Gu Shou came to be in charge. As a result, this Gu Shou found a reason to meet the client this afternoon to go to the city, and he hadn't designated anyone to be in charge of the furniture factory, so those rascals set off fireworks in the factory. , and the sparks came down just in time to ignite the paint . . . and what Bolton left with me."

   "Bolton? I remember that guy was a grain and oil wholesaler, right? So what he left with you was already oil or flour?"

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

   "The flour exploded?"

A person next to him said in a skeptical tone: "Although the power of flour explosion is indeed very powerful, it is not easy to meet the conditions for flour explosion. Flour particles, so that the flour may be detonated, but I remember that Lao Liu's furniture factory does not have a closed warehouse 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 Bolton asked me to help put away, these flours are well packed in bags, and then a box of The bins are stacked, so it shouldn't be an explosion of flour, right? Unless those **** are idle and have nothing to do, go find all the flour and raise it, so that it may cause the flour to explode... But those guys are stupid no matter how stupid they are , it's impossible to play like that."

The director of the furniture factory, known as Lao Liu, couldn't help sighing again, and said sadly: "It's a pity that those guys can no longer appear in front of me, otherwise I have to give them a slap and let them take care of themselves. Raise your memory..."

   Everyone present heard what Lao Liu said, and they all sighed, then shook their heads and said nothing.

   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 from his pocket, glanced around the ruins of the furniture factory, then shook his head and said, "This is a telescope with night vision, but I still see everything that is useful. No, so let's get out of here first."

   Liu Xing glanced at the ruined furniture factory. Just as he was about to nod his head and say something, he saw that in a corner of the furniture factory, there seemed to be a small flame shaking constantly.

   No, this is not a small flame!

   Liu Xing took a closer look, and only then did he determine that this small flame was suspended in mid-air, so this should be the legendary essence of flame!

   Essence of Flame is a special kind of mythical creature in Cthulhu mythology, because there are actually two mythical creatures using the name Essence of Flame, and the reason is that two authors chose this name by coincidence.

However, since one of the two authors is named Drake, that is, Drake who really carried forward "The Myth of Cthulhu", the essence of flame in his works will be more famous, so under normal circumstances, The "Essence of Flame" that appears in the game hall of the Cthulhu Running Group is the Essence of Flame written by Drake.

Of course, whether it is the flame essence written by Drake or the flame essence written by another author, both are the family members of the old ruler Cthugya, but the flame essence written by another author If you have to look carefully, then these flame essences are a bit like deep divers. They believe in Cthugya and the high priest of Cthugya, Fotagua, and this Fotagua is a Large flame essence.

Back to the topic.

The reason why   Flame Essence is a special mythical creature, in addition to its special life experience, the most striking feature is its dual attack and physical immunity.

As the name suggests, the essence of flame is a ball of fire with self-awareness, because the Ketughya they believe in is a big fireball called the "earth sun", so the essence of flame is also considered by some to be Ketu. Gea's heir, or a part of Cthugya, after all, when Ctugya is summoned to come to earth, the essence of flame will also be brought along, and then burn the whole world with Cthugya.

  Because of this, the flame essence has the ability to burn most items, so when players are fighting with the flame essence, it is very likely that the flame essence will burn off their clothes and body hair. . . In addition to making the player very embarrassed, it will also make the player very depressed, because the various props that the player carries with him will also be swept away.

   In addition to this, the reason why players least want to face the essence of flame is those four words - physical immunity.

   In the face of a flame, do you think you have the ability to kill him with one knife?

In the same sentence, except for a small number of players, most players can only inflict physical damage to the enemy, so the flame essence of physical immunity is a difficult existence for players, and even if they use spells , that also has to be a spell that restrains the fire department to play a role.

   However, various types of fire extinguishing devices, even a bucket of water, a bucket of sand can be a big killer for the flame essence, so if you have these things at hand, it is quite simple to deal with the flame essence.

   Just like the Flaming Spirit that Liu Xing saw now, it was almost extinguished by the fire brigade.

However, even if it is such a small group of flame essence, Liu Xing dare not approach it rashly, because the double attack of the flame essence is really difficult, 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 is exactly ten points at a time.

  Be aware that there are many players with character cards whose MP value does not exceed ten points.

   In this way, as long as the attack of the flame essence is judged to be successful, the player may have to bottom out both HP and MP at the same time.

  Although for ordinary players, this MP is something that they will never use in their entire lives, but if the MP bottoms out, the player will also be debuffed by various debuffs.

  Thinking of this, Liu Xing just wanted to remind Yin En and others when he saw that the flame essence suddenly disappeared.

   It seemed that the summoning time of this flame essence had expired, so it went straight back to Cthugya.

   "Liu Xing, what are you looking at?"

  Yin En patted Liu Xing on the shoulder and said, "This is nothing to see, so let's go back to sleep."

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

   When Yin En and others were all seated, Liu Xing said, "I just saw a flame essence,"

"what?!"

  Yoon En, all three looked at Liu Xing in surprise.

"The reminder of the flame essence is very small. If you don't pay attention, it is likely to be regarded as a small flame that has not been extinguished, but I can be sure that it is the legendary flame essence, and it is precisely because it is the flame essence. Fine, we can 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 essence of flame can really explain the ins and outs of this fire, but why did these essences of flame suddenly appear in this furniture factory? If it is Someone did it on purpose, so I would like to ask him what kind of grudge he has with this furniture factory, what kind of grudge? He even summoned the essence of flame to deal with the furniture factory? If this fire was actually directed at us by a public faction, then they Why kill chickens with a bull's knife?"

"Accident."

Dior interfaced at this time: "This is likely to be an accident, because I was bored when I lived in seclusion in Duwang Town, and I have read many folklore of island countries, although most of these folklore are fictitious, but among them There are still some that may be true, such as the fire of the Honneng Temple Incident!"

   "Dior, do you mean that the fire in Honneng Temple was actually set by the essence of flame?" Yin En asked subconsciously.

Dio nodded and replied seriously: "Although Oda Nobunaga didn't have many soldiers and horses around him when he was at Honno Temple, there are not many soldiers that Akechi Mitsuhide can fully trust. After all, those soldiers were assigned by Oda Nobunaga to Mitsuhide Akechi, so if Oda Nobunaga climbed to the top, many soldiers would choose to defect; most importantly, we all know that Oda Nobunaga also has a powerful mythical creature as his backing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the chance to win the world."

"So, although Oda Nobunaga in Honno Temple doesn't have many subordinates, the quality of his subordinates is not low. If he really wants to fight Akechi Mitsuhide with real swords and guns, then it is not certain who will kill the deer, so Oda Nobunaga The reason why it was so completely defeated is that I can only find the reason from the fire that burned up the Honneng Temple, and the answer that can be found in the end is the essence of flame, because even if it is a powerful mythical creature, as long as there is no countermeasure against the essence of flame means, then they have only one result when they face the essence of flame - give it for free."
