"Guan Yun, you were indeed too impulsive just now. If, like what he said, a large group of people happened to rush out, should you release arrows or not?
And there is no use in saving such a baby. The other residents must die anyway. "
Fang Hong followed him and sighed helplessly.
Li Fan stopped, looked at him, and said: "You are right, I only saved this one person, which is meaningless in terms of the overall situation, but for the baby I saved, it was a real salvation from a desperate situation." .
And for myself, it is also a comfort to my conscience, so that I will not always hate myself for being powerless. This is what it means! "
Li Fan let out a long breath, as if he wanted to let out all the suffocation he had been holding in since just now.
"You just said that when encountering this kind of thing, you just have to do your best to obey fate. I am doing my best to obey fate!"
Fang Hong smiled helplessly: "You are right, maybe I was just looking for excuses to convince myself...
This fire is too big. If you rush into it rashly, you will definitely die.
Everyone could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
But it is indeed inhumane to stand by and watch, so I can only find excuses to comfort myself.
Facing the reality, some people are impulsive and rush forward in vain, some are rational, cold and calculating, and some are self-deceived and watch the fire from the other side. You and I are equally powerless, but I am still not as good as you, Guanyun... Really, maybe I shouldn't escape reality, but should also consider it. Become a stranger.
I'm not as ambitious as you are. If I want to control some strange realm, I just need to be an ordinary alien master. "
What happened this time also touched Fang Hong. As a noble son and the son of Uncle Fu Chang, he was still qualified to become a stranger even if he did not have a family background like Li Fan.
But all along, for the sake of safety, exotic treasures have only been used through indirect control.
If you do that, you will never be considered a true alien, unable to do many things.
While the two were discussing, the tragedy in the shop continued.
But this time, no one can break out from inside.
The fire outside has formed a huge barrier, and no flesh and blood body can escape through it.
But those miserable cries were still accompanied by the raging fire and the crackling sounds from the fire scene from time to time.
There were even earth and rocks cracking, bamboo joints exploding, and sizzling sounds like roasting flesh and blood.
There was a strange burning aroma in the air, like delicious barbecue, followed closely by the smell of more wood, paint, fur, cloth and other things mixed together and burned.
Thick smoke billowed and flames shot into the sky, illuminating most of the Holy City and everyone on standby.
Their eyes were filled with blazing fire, and the figures behind them were moving, as if their hearts were shaking.
I don’t know how long it took, but the fire gradually became smaller, and suddenly a figure fell from the sky in front of me.
That is the alien master sent out by the Demon Suppressing Division to conduct reconnaissance. He possesses a restricted and forbidden art, flying!
"A brothel appeared out of thin air inside, and the signboard is Baihua House!"
The officials who heard the report had different expressions.
"Baihualou Strange Realm?"
"Why is it here?"
Li Chuan and others had already learned that there was a certain connection between the lantern fire and Baihua Tower's strange domain. They were not too surprised, but were worried about its appearance.
It's not a good thing for this thing to appear in the ruins of a fire scene.
This means that the body of the watchman may have entered inside.
At this moment, a group of people walked out of the Zhuque Gate.
"The Duke of Zhenguo has arrived!"
All the senior officials of the Demon Suppressing Division gathered there.
Li Ao sighed secretly.
These people really know how to choose the right time to show up when everyone is dead.
Doesn't a gentleman have no moral burden when he cooks far away from home?
However, his status is not low now, and he can be regarded as a senior official of the Ministry of Health who is qualified to meet him. He still has to follow him and salute together: "Meet the Duke of Zhenguo!"
Guo Tunan, the Duke of Zhenguo, was dressed in military uniform and nodded solemnly: "No need to be polite, how is the situation now?"
"Reporting to the Duke, the fire in Xingdaofang has been successfully controlled, and we have also forced out the Baihualou Secret Area. Everything is under control!"
"Very good. This place is adjacent to the imperial city, and even the palace is watching your performance. It must be absolutely perfect."
"But..." Du Zhi suddenly looked embarrassed at this time and said, "A large number of evil spirits have appeared in the fire scene. I'm afraid it will take a hard battle to get rid of them. There is also the corpse of the watchman, who may have entered Go into the strange realm."
Guo Tunan said: "Then what is your solution?"
Xiong Lidao: "We have notified the city patrol department to mobilize troops and surround this place. If any mummies and strange fires come out, they will be eliminated immediately!"
Guo Tunan pondered for a moment and said, "It's just like this, it's far from enough!"
Everyone knew what he was referring to.
The situation is under control for the time being, but once daytime comes, the news will spread wildly, and the whole city will know what happened here.
Although some truths can be covered up with information such as robbers setting fires, but if a few corpses ran out, or something happened again at Baihua Tower, the imperial troops would be exhausted.
Even, the ashes of death resurrected, and the entire Holy City was plunged into a sea of fire.
"My lord, I think it is better to recruit some loyal and brave people to go deep into the treacherous realm to seal the evil spirits. Maybe there is a chance to capture the lantern fire and solve the problem directly!"
At this moment, a counselor suddenly said.
Guo Tunan thought for a while and said: "Someone should indeed stand up to deal with it now, but who should be sent?"
When everyone heard it, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
With so many people dead inside, they might transform into demons and become a huge obstacle.
The unknown strength of the enemy will also make direct combat with it quite dangerous.
If we really want to do that, large troops will definitely not be able to set foot in the fire scene, and only small groups of elite troops can go deep alone.
This method of combat has very high requirements for specific execution candidates. They must be true masters and have the determination to take risks.
Guo Tunan's eyes glanced across a group of high-ranking officials seemingly inadvertently, including Wu Xuan, an elite young man from his relative's party.
So far, the mysterious resources of the Great Qian Dynasty are still controlled by the powerful, and those with high positions often have better exotic treasures and corresponding mysterious abilities.
As the son of Zheng Guogong, Wu Xuan's exotic treasures are definitely not weak, and he has also fought against the watchman before.
Although it was already before his death, he undoubtedly had an advantage compared to others.
But Wu Xuan, who was eager to catch the watchman and meritorious deeds, seemed to ignore his expectations and stood there looking at the fire scene in a trance, not knowing what he was thinking.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Guo Tunan's eyes, but he couldn't help himself.
He had no way to push the other party, and the other party was not some little military attache without any foundation.
"My lord, I am willing to give it a try!"
Suddenly, a young voice came over.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and look, only to see Li Kuan walking out of the crowd and taking the initiative to ask for help.
"you?"
Guo Tunan's expression changed slightly. He had thought of several candidates before, but Li Fan was not the only candidate because Li Fan was the son of Li Xin, the Marquis of Wu'an, an important member of their noble family.
Li Fan faced Guo Tunan with firm eyes and a confident expression, as if what he was about to apply for was not a dangerous mission with a narrow escape, but just a trivial matter.
Guo Tunan said meaningfully: "Guanyun, there is no joke in the army, you have to think clearly."
"I've been waiting for most of the day, waiting for the fire to subside to go in and deal with the evil spirit." Li Fan turned to look at Xingdaofang, which had been burned into ruins, but still had smoke curling up and the strange fire was entrenched, "Time waits not for us. , please also ask the Duke for permission."
Guo Tunan hesitated for a while, but finally agreed: "Okay, then you must be careful!"
