"The fire will spread soon, so quickly dismantle these things and move everything that can be moved."
"Clear that place as soon as possible, don't leave anything behind!"
"Be careful of those green strange fires, use your strange power to extinguish them!"
While Wu Xuan and others were sighing, Li Fan and others were busy putting out the fire, and they also sincerely felt the harm caused by the lantern fire's escape.
In the fire scene, green fireballs were flying everywhere, like ball lightning chasing flammable objects.
Almost anything that may burn nearby can attract their attachment. Once they get close, it will immediately become a new kind of fire.
This kind of derivatives floating everywhere creates multiple fire points, and they are also separated by a large distance, making people exhausted.
"Oh my God, it's gone...it's all gone!"
In front of a house, someone was howling and crying, watching the house collapse due to the fire in the beams.
Some of the possessions he had accumulated through frugality and frugality for most of his life were gone in the blink of an eye.
"My son..."
"mother……"
There were also people who were separated from their flesh and blood and watched helplessly as their relatives were caught up by the green fireball, knocked down, and burned as if they were poured with fire oil.
"Stop him, don't let him pass!"
Seeing that the child wanted to go up and hug his mother who had become a fireman, Li Ao, the on-site commander, quickly reminded him.
Several sergeants quickly controlled him and handed him over to strangers to deal with.
As a result, not long after, the fire on his body was extinguished, but the person was already cooked.
"These corpses are highly contaminated and must be dealt with centrally!"
Li Fan stepped forward to take a look in person and ordered with a gloomy face.
At this time, he felt more and more deeply the weakness and powerlessness of mortals.
The distance of a few feet or more than a dozen feet seems very short literally. After running back and forth for a few more times, I will be out of breath, not to mention having to find water sources and carry a load to splash water.
And climbing over the wall, climbing up and down, requires strong skills. If ordinary people don't have a ladder, it would be troublesome to even climb over the wall.
This also resulted in some unlucky residents having to watch helplessly as flames fell from the sky and burned down their houses.
In addition, the means to deal with fires are also very poor.
From wooden barrels to water tanks, and then from water bags to water bags, they are still somewhat useful in dealing with ordinary fires, but they are of no use in dealing with large fires.
Fortunately, the fire occurred in Pingkangfang, a relatively affluent area. Every household has one or more large tanks, which usually store water and raise some small fish and shrimps to create feng shui. When a fire breaks out, there is no way to get water nearby. As for being completely helpless.
The sergeants of the Demon Suppression Department, including those like me who had undergone specialized training, were slightly better, but after running up and down, fighting one after another, and activating their strange power, they were all disgraced and exhausted.
Strangers are also human beings, not gods. At this stage, strangers are basically unable to move instantaneously and control wind and rain...
He felt that he had tried his best, but apart from saving some people in distress and a few rows of houses, nothing seemed to have been accomplished.
During this period, Li Fan unexpectedly found that he was contaminated with something again.
"Original Essence"
It was the power derived from the lantern fire, turned into demonic pollution and attached to the body.
This is the price of being tainted with weirdness. Just participating in putting out the fire, without confronting it head-on, was still affected.
Li Fan didn't care about this bit of demonic pollution. Anyway, he was already a stranger. Compared with the power naturally dissipated by other exotic treasures in his body, this level of pollution was insignificant.
But when I think of another thing, I can't help but feel worried.
The people affected by the fire here are ordinary people.
In addition to the troops of the Demon Suppression Division, at least thousands of ordinary people were affected at the scene.
This also means the demonic pollution caused by thousands of strange things!
What's more, there are residents living here and tourists coming and going.
Contaminated with some strange sources, it will not cause any serious disaster in a short period of time, but afterwards it will attract strange things and the possibility of being involved in strange incidents will be greatly increased.
In other words, this area is very likely to be "haunted" and requires special personnel to be closely monitored!
As for how to arrange the disposal of the residents of the Holy City who had burned down their houses and lost their loved ones, and now the follow-up comfort work, those that were not within the scope of his responsibilities seemed to be insignificant.
But in fact, the aftermath involving hundreds of families and thousands of people is also related to the fundamental factors of public security and many problems in the city in the future, which cannot be underestimated.
…
Half a day later, in Baihua Tower.
"Sure enough, it's just like the secret records, water will never quench it, and earth will never quench it!"
"If there were no strangers involved in putting out the fire, the consequences would be really disastrous."
"Fortunately, we have arranged enough aliens here..."
The people who finally put out the fire left by the watchman didn't even bother to rest. They gathered on the spot and held a small meeting to discuss what had just happened.
Now they have truly understood the power of the lantern fire, and began to understand the real reason why the demon cultists wanted to get it.
This thing can effectively contain the power of the imperial court. Even if it cannot burn down the entire Holy Capital, it still has great strategic significance.
At this moment, two people who controlled the power of the mysterious realm, Niu Zongqi, said in a condensed voice: "I suspect that the mysterious realm shown by the watchman just now is the Baihua Tower eighteen years ago."
"What, Baihualou Strange Domain?"
"Is it possible that the lantern fire absorbed the Baihualou treacherous domain..."
Everyone couldn't help being surprised when they heard it.
"Everyone may not know something..." Niu Zongqi looked at the people at the scene. They were either new governors like Li Wei, or general banners of the sixth and seventh ranks, hundreds of households.
None of these were comparable to ordinary soldiers, so he revealed some of the secrets hidden by the headquarters about the Strange Territory.
"It is possible for the uncanny realm and the uncanny realm to blend into each other or capture each other's eccentricities. This is where the evil spirits or strange treasures that control the uncanny realm come from!"
"Is there such a thing? Mr. Niu Qi, can you explain it in detail?"
"Yes, we know too little about the strange realm..."
Niu Zongqi shook his head and said: "We don't know much either, because most of the time, this kind of power is possessed inexplicably, and it takes no effort to obtain it, but if you pursue it deliberately, you may end up with it. I have gained nothing in my life..."
This is what is called a time in life that must be there eventually, but there is no time in life, so don’t force it.
Whether you can get the power of the Strange Realm also depends on your fate.
Ma Zongqi agreed: "Actually, Brother Niu and I can be regarded as people who have mastered the power of the strange realm, but what we have mastered is only the most basic 'application', that is, we can only mobilize this type of power.
We can only condense the power of the treacherous realm in the palm of our hands, or spread it around ourselves to sense and refine the power of other treacherous realms. The expression is to dig and drill through it, and get in and out of it.
Generally speaking, it is easier to return from the uncanny realm to reality, but to enter the uncanny realm from reality requires more understanding of it. "
Li Fan listened and nodded secretly.
The things they mentioned were actually talking about the strange source of matter.
The earlier alien masters did not have such a discerning eye as themselves, but they also discovered that the more frequently they used strange powers, or came into contact with strange treasures, or explored strange realms, the more serious the demonic pollution in their bodies would be.
Very occasionally, strangers or demons who control the strange realm appear.
Niu Zongqi then told everyone some secrets that were not mentioned in the information, so that everyone could understand more about the nature of the mysterious realm.
For example, the power of the Strange Realm starts with "possession".
After "possessing" it, the next step is to be able to "use" it, like the two of them, to enter and exit other mysterious realms.
From this point of view, what the Cat Immortal Yang Ju showed at the beginning was the top "application", which was able to wrap everyone together and escape from the treacherous realm.
It's a pity that everyone has different strengths, and she may not necessarily be able to dig out holes like a dragon.
Furthermore, it should be "retractable and retractable", that is, a mysterious space that shows the dilapidated garden like the Fox Bride.
It seems that the Demon Suppressor has a very deep understanding of strange things. Except for the fact that there is no such thing as the source of strange things, he has almost guessed the truth.
Li Chuan immediately thought again that the "Extraordinary Technique (Heart Picking)" and "Extraordinary Technique (Shadow Catching)" he now possessed were all obtained from the enemy. This time, they were contaminated with part of the lantern fire source.
In this way, is the power of the strange realm of Lantern Fire and Baihua Tower also included in it, which means that he actually "owns" the power of the strange realm?
If I can obtain more of the source of the Creation Realm, can I truly master the power of the Creation Realm, even if it is only an incomplete Creation Realm?
Li Fan soon discovered that his speculation was reasonable, but it lacked some necessary prerequisites, making it unsustainable.
For example, how can we truly sense its existence so that we can "use it", or even go further, develop a way to "retract and release it freely".
Niu Zongqi and Ma Zongqi did know some things, but not much. Even the entire Demon Suppression Division knew only a little about it. The information was too scarce.
Even this lack is intentional from above.
"In short, it is very likely that the lantern fire has some special connection with Baihualou's mysterious domain. Sooner or later, the watchman will enter there again and try."
"Even if the watchman and other demonic cultists are no longer interested in Baihualou's mysterious domain, we can't just leave it here. After all, it's a downtown area. It's very dangerous to leave such a hidden danger unaddressed."
"In addition, the watchman may also have left the derived lantern fire there as a kind of fire. If necessary, he can use it to jump, and he can quickly enter and leave the Holy Capital, or even raid the Imperial City..."
While Li Chuan was deep in thought, everyone's discussion continued, but the result was that they were shocked by some of the follow-up speculations they added.
After much calculation, we still have to get through the Baihua Tower treacherous area as soon as possible.
At least, check to see if there are any remnants of lantern fire derivatives inside, to ensure that the watchman cannot use it to travel back and forth and take advantage of it.
