I'm afraid of non-human beings

Chapter 18 The Essence of Flame

This man is unlucky enough.

When Lin You splashed two bottles of ink, he was speaking, and was splashed all over his head and face unexpectedly.Now his mouth was filled with the bitter taste of ink, and his face was wrinkled like orange peel.

He vomited forcefully, and it was still uncomfortable not to vomit. During several struggles, his throat rolled in reflex.

— Swallow it! !

In his panic, the man didn't even care about the extinguished torch, and almost immediately grabbed his own neck, and began to retch again and again.

"I—" he couldn't say a word, "vomit—"

However, Lin You was still rushing over there.

"Didn't you say you want to get to the point?"

She said: "Everyone doesn't have enough time, so don't delay here any longer?"

Hearing this, the man raised his head and glared at her with hatred and resentment.

... Who is to blame? ! !

Not to mention, he is now so dark that people can only see the two eyeballs, it's quite funny to stare at people without any weight.Regardless of whether Duke was still worried or not, Naia, who had a good time watching the excitement, laughed unceremoniously.

The man straightened up slowly.

"I still say the same thing," he said, "Give me all the things you got here, or I won't guarantee that you will get back unscathed."

Holding the gun up, Duke couldn't help but say, "I won't be able to get away with it if I give it to you, right?"

The cultist tilted his head in disbelief.

"Who knows," he said, "after all, there might be..."

He didn't continue, but two of the other three people present knew exactly what he was talking about.

After all, it's not a day or two that certain two rivals dislike each other, not to mention that one of them is famous for provoking troubles in the world all day long, and it's only natural to suspect that there are hostile believers mixed in.

The man looked at the three people vigilantly, hoping that he was thinking too much.

——He never thought that it was the deity who did this.

The deity didn't do anything else, just raised his chin and motioned him to look at the messy summoning circle.

man:"……"

Mother Gan Lin!My heart hurts! !

It doesn't matter whether he smiled back from anger, or it was meaningful, he suddenly laughed.

Although only a mouthful of big white teeth half-stained black with ink could be seen in the dark, this abnormal behavior still made people vigilant.

"Don't move," Duke warned. "Move any more and I'll actually shoot you."

The man ignored him.

"Do you really think..."

He said: "Would I not make any preparations, just stand there and wait for you to take the bait?"

There was a red light flashing in the sky outside the window.

At first glance, it looks like a shooting star, with long and bright tails being dragged everywhere it goes.

not good.

As "it" approached quickly, Lin You reacted abruptly.

That is--

The loud noise shook everyone's eardrums, and the glass was shattered by the sudden strong impact.

Lin You still had time to cover her face and body with her arms, but Duke was caught off guard and turned over.

The man also stabilized his body in a thrilling manner. He gritted his teeth and kept chanting something, and the fire that fell from the sky gradually subsided from riot to stability.

These "creatures" burning out of thin air are like flickering light spots one after another, small in size, but dazzling enough.

...I just don't know why there are a few dark ones.

Somehow, seeing those small and black "living flames", Duke suddenly calmed down, and couldn't help but glance at the polluted magic circle.

The man obviously thought of going with him too.

What a stomach ache!

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you one last chance—"

"No need!" Lin You said immediately, grabbing the arm of Duke who was half prone and half kneeling on the ground, "Bye bye!"

Strategic retreat!

Behind him came the roar of the cultist: "Give it to me!"

The blazing flames smashed through the door frame, and everything that could be ignited wherever it reached spread flames.

There are no more than seven or eight light spots in total, but the power of which spot is not small.

Just as Duke opened his mouth to ask what the hell it was, he saw Lin You turning her head while running, her eyes flashing brightly.

...? ? ?

But she still noticed his questioning eyes.

"Essence of Flame," Lin You replied quickly, "serving the family of Cthugya! That guy must have found a way to summon them and use them for himself!"

The Flame Essences floated behind them unhurriedly. Fortunately, the two bottles of ink really affected the magic circle more or less, otherwise, they would have caught up with them at their peak speed.

Now it's time to understand why the man destroyed the water valve.

——These guys are easy to deal with if they have water, but without water, most of their lives may be burned at once!

Duke: "The ink just now—"

"I told you I went to the art department to get it," Lin You hurriedly said, "It's been abandoned for so long, and there are only two bottles left that haven't been dried yet!"

Otherwise, she would like to get more.

I don't know if it's because of the "restriction" mentioned earlier or for other reasons, although he is still able to handle it with ease, but until the last moment, Naia has no plans to make a move.

"Go upstairs!" Lin You made a decision without hesitation.

——Go back upstairs and talk about it.

The Flame Essence had already been thrown away by them for a certain distance, but just like the order given by the cultist, it still clung to it after all.

Lin You strode up the stairs, and they returned to the familiar dim corridor.After staying here for a long time, even without the map drawn by Duke, she still clearly remembers where is connected and what is there.

Quickly identifying the direction in memory, Lin You took the lead and ran over.

"Say-"

Duke gasped out of breath: "Why is he so obsessed with asking us to hand over clues? It doesn't make sense?!"

What they have found so far are just some notes that remind the seven mysteries. If you want to say how important this thing is, isn't it the cultist himself who left the one on the ladder in the teaching room? !

Lin You laughed.

She tilted her head, "Why do you think he didn't summon his Lord now?"

"Didn't I say that?" She fumbled in her pocket, tossing the ball of paper like a magic trick, "Did I go through the murderer's pocket?"

Duke: "..."

What? ! !

"If you want to complete Cthugya's summoning ceremony, you have to recite spells and move the fire seeds on a clear night when the constellation of Pisces rises above the horizon." Lin You said in a hurry, "So, eight of the above achievements are what he lacks The most crucial one."

— that incantation.

Naia raised her eyebrows with interest.

It could be seen that he was eager to destroy this thing now.

"The person who died in the lecture theater didn't come here in vain, but we didn't find anything on him at the time, which means that most of the things have been taken away by the person who killed him."

Therefore, this was her real purpose of touching "Wu Yufeng"'s pocket.

"I was worried that there would be other ways, but it seems that there is no, otherwise he wouldn't have to be so impatient."

Duke looked at her with complete shock.

Looking back inadvertently, his face suddenly changed.

"Oops!"

I don't know when, the number of flame spirits chasing after them has been reduced by half, if it is the worst possibility he imagined...

"I said," Duke said anxiously, "in case he wants to make these people split up—"

Aren't they going to be outflanked? !

Xia Zuo looked calm in his eyes, and even Lin You was absent-minded.

"Really?" she asked casually.

Unknowingly, they had returned to the door of the classroom where she first woke up and met the hanged ghost.

Lin You pushed the door open and walked in, pulling out a chair from the first row.

"Come on," she shoved Duke's hand, "carry this."

Duke: "...???"

He was holding the chair at a loss when he saw Lin You pointing to the side, "Hit it here."

He was stunned.

"This is--?!"

"It really is here." A man's voice interrupted him.

The surrounding temperature rose sharply.

With the scorching heat comes an overly bright firelight, and—

Lin You turned her head.

As Duke said, they were flanked front and rear.

At the same time that the remaining flame spirits were approaching rapidly, the fireballs who came around from the other side also poked their heads from the corner directly in front.

They floated floating in the air, illuminating most of the corridor.

"Although I have never been to the second floor," the cultist followed behind, approaching slowly with a sneer, "but at least I saw a map at the bottom—"

The ink on his face has obviously been wiped off, but the water valve is broken, so he can only wipe it off with a dry cloth, barely showing a disfigured face.

Men take this grudge on them as a matter of course.

The fireballs in front and behind were approaching rapidly, and at the very moment, Lin You suddenly spoke.

"There's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

man:"……?"

He looked at each other suspiciously.

"Okay." He said subconsciously.

"What you want is in my hands—your spell is mine," Lin You shook the paper ball, "what to do is up to you."

The cultist's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Stop!" He was afraid that he would accidentally burn the spell, so he stopped quickly, "Stop!"

The flame spirits driven by him also stopped when they heard the sound, and the situation suddenly froze.

"Give me the spell now," the man tried hard to suppress the excitement in his voice, "I can assure you that I will let you go and let you leave here completely intact."

...that's weird.

He was ready to turn his face when he got the spell.

Lin You: "You haven't asked me what the bad news is."

Man: "...What about the bad ones?"

"Bad news—"

Lin You paused on purpose.

"You broke the water valve of this building," she said, "and you also took note of the terrain. However, it should be said that you forgot or didn't have time to go to the second floor—you also left something behind."

"Thank you for your cooperation. You don't need to let me go, anyway..."

Lin You smiled and turned around to pick up the fire extinguisher from the glass of the fire cabinet that was smashed by Duke.

"Your flame essence will also be mine soon."
