Chapter 191 Chihuo City after twelve o'clock
It took less than two hours for Lin Ze to master the three flame skills proficiently, but limited by the low flame power scale, the power is quite disappointing.

With his current physical fitness, the damage of a casual punch is much more terrifying than the so-called flame bomb.

"But to me, it doesn't matter what the fire skills are, the important thing is to get the authority to control the fire."

If the number of fire elements controlled increases significantly, the power of the red lotus flame will also increase accordingly.

"So at this stage, we must find a way to increase the scale of the flame power."

Lin Ze recalled the information in his mind.

In the Fire Infant Sect, the power of flames is all given by the gods. The higher the status of the members in the sect, the more powers of flames are bestowed. Therefore, if you want to increase the power of flames, you can only increase the level of the members.

And if you want to upgrade the member level, the only hard and fast rule is to pass the strength test.

For example, Lin Ze is now an official fire-level disciple. If he wants to be promoted to the Yan-level, he must pass the two-star strength test and prove that he has two-star strength before he can be promoted.

This is not a problem for him.

Even if he doesn't use Soul Knife and Spiritual Qi, just relying on his physical fitness and fighting skills, his strength has already surpassed the warrior level. Even dozens of two-star disciples like the young man just now are not enough to kill him.

However, in the Fire Infant Sect, there are many people who have inhuman physical qualities and are good at physical skills. There are even those who have not mastered the power of flames and take the physical fighting route to reach a four-star high-level god disciple. In comparison, a mere two-star The god disciples seem particularly unobtrusive.

Coming out of the public hall, Lin Ze handed back the skill watch first, then returned to the ninth floor, submitted an application for a two-star strength test on the terminal, and then turned and left.

The application needs to be approved, and it will take at least three days for the assessment. He plans to take advantage of this time to visit Chihuo City and get familiar with the city. Although he has the background information of Chihuo City in his mind, it is only a rough idea. It is better to see it with his own eyes. What you see comes in detail and familiarity.

Back on the third floor, Lin Ze changed his uniform, went down to the parking lot in the casual clothes he had come, and prepared to drive away.

This is the rule of the Fire Infant Sect. Except when performing tasks, members of the sect are not allowed to wear uniforms outside.

This regulation is a bit strange, and the information in Lin Ze's mind did not explain it.

There are many similar strange regulations, and the most puzzling one is a regulation on late-night operations.

However, members of the Fire Infant Sect must fall asleep before twelve o'clock at night. If they do not fall asleep due to special reasons, they are forbidden to leave the house. Not allowed to go out, offenders will be expelled from the sect and sentenced to death.

It's just that if you go out after twelve o'clock at night, you will be sentenced to death. This kind of regulation is simply appalling, but it is one of the most important rules of the Fire Infant Sect.

When Lin Ze learned of this regulation, he was also very surprised. However, the Fire Infant Sect did not explain it, but only required all members to strictly follow the regulations, otherwise they would bear the consequences.

So he didn't delve into it, anyway, he would know what was going on after twelve o'clock in the evening.

In the following time, Lin Ze drove around the city and got familiar with the situation of Chihuo City.

What you see along the way is almost the same as some big cities in reality, except that there are more fire infant sects, so you can often see various images and logos of gods.

Although the name of Fire Baby has the word baby in it, its image is a burly man burning with raging flames, his face is as tough as a knife and an axe, and his expression is indifferent. Six fireballs are suspended behind him, forming a semi-arc.

I don't know if it's because of the processing, or the image of Huoying itself is very special. At first glance, this image has a heart-wrenching and strange charm, and it is undoubtedly very suitable as a god's propaganda.

When passing by a certain large square, Lin Ze saw many tourists standing under the fire baby statue in the center of the square, closing their eyes and praying, with a very pious demeanor.

Similar scenes were not uncommon, and it made him more deeply aware of the powerful dominance of the Fire Infant Sect over Scarlet Fire City.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening that Lin Ze returned to the apartment where he lived, took a leisurely bath and had supper.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, he sat on the sofa in the living room, staring intently at the wall clock on the wall, with the summoned Soul Knife Red Lotus in his hand, and began to concentrate on his guard.

When the three hands of the clock point to the 12 scale at the same time, the whole world quiets down for an instant, as if all the sounds have disappeared.

Lin Ze got up from the sofa, felt it attentively, and found that not only the sound, but also the breath of all living things disappeared.

Originally, in his induction, there were still a lot of residents in the whole building, but at that moment just now, all the breaths of living people disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared before.

Frowning and pondering for a moment, Lin Ze turned around and came to the window, opened the window and looked out. The street that was still very noisy and lively during the day had now become dead silent and gloomy. No taillights in sight.

The dim light of the street lamp shone on the street, casting a very long shadow on the trash can opposite.

Looking around, the building floors in the distance are very vague and indistinct, and there are countless shadowy ghosts with claws and claws, wanting to choose people and devour them.

The late-night urban scene in front of me was really gloomy, in stark contrast to the liveliness of the day.

"Is this why the Fire Infant Sect forbids members to go out?"

Looking at the weird scene in front of him, doubtful thoughts flashed in Lin Ze's mind.

Gathering his mind, he turned and left the house, and came to the corridor outside.

Unexpectedly, the elevator was out of service, so Lin Ze had no choice but to walk down the stairs, looking for a room on each floor, breaking open the door violently to check, and sure enough, without exception, no one was there.

What surprised him was that in the bedrooms of many suites, there were still traces of the owner sleeping on the bed, as if these residents had suddenly disappeared in their sleep.

Lin Ze felt more and more surprised, and stepped up to the street outside.

The surrounding area was extremely quiet, only the slight sound of his own footsteps echoing as he walked.

On the way, Lin Ze found a few more buildings to check, but he still didn't find anyone.

"It seems that everyone has disappeared. Well, it's not accurate to say that. It should be that ordinary people have disappeared. At least the people of the Fire Infant Sect should still be there. Otherwise, the prohibition of going out after twelve o'clock is meaningless. .”

Walking slowly on the lonely street, Lin Ze looked around step by step, while thinking secretly.

He still doesn't understand why the Fire Infant Sect has made a rule that prohibits members from going out after twelve o'clock. Is it because the mutated Chihuo City after twelve o'clock is potentially hugely dangerous, or is there something that cannot be seen by people?
In doubt, Lin Ze even had the idea of ​​rushing into the sect headquarters to find out, but this idea just passed by, and then he suppressed it.

At present, he still has to rely on the Fire Infant Sect to increase the power of flames, and there is no conflict with its breakup.

Thinking of this, Lin Ze turned his footsteps, stopped walking swaggeringly in the middle of the street, and instead hid himself in the shadow of the roadside, moved forward with the help of the shadow, and carefully patrolled around.

Because he was worried that there might be people from the Fire Infant Sect patrolling the city, he couldn't let go of his hands and feet, and the efficiency of the investigation was not high. Until the sky was dark, he only patrolled the area within a radius of nearly a kilometer of the building, but unfortunately there was no one. Find.

"The prohibited time to go out is from twelve o'clock to six o'clock, so Chihuo City should return to normal at six o'clock."

Seeing that the time was approaching six o'clock, Lin Ze had no choice but to turn his head and return to his residence, sitting on the sofa and waiting quietly.

Sure enough, when the clock on the wall reached six o'clock, the whole world seemed to come alive in an instant, and all kinds of sounds and living breaths returned in an instant, appearing in Lin Ze's induction, so that he felt a little uncomfortable for a while. To adapt, I was dazed for four or five seconds before I came back to my senses.

He stepped to the window and looked out, he couldn't help but be amazed.

The street has returned to the same hustle and bustle as yesterday, with vehicles and people constantly coming and going, as if the silence a few minutes ago was just his illusion.

Staring for a moment, Lin Ze looked back, turned and left the room, and took the elevator to the underground parking lot.

Although he didn't sleep all night, he was still full of energy, so he planned to continue to go for a drive, visit Chihuo City, check out the places worth noting, and investigate after twelve o'clock in the evening.

As a result, as soon as he drove the car out of the underground parking lot, Lin Ze received a notice from the Fire Infant Sect, asking him to rush to the sect headquarters immediately.

"Could it be because of what happened last night?"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ze muttered to himself, and immediately denied his guess.

If it was true that the violation of the regulations last night was known to the sect, it would take more than one phone call.

When he rushed to the headquarters of the sect to ask, it really wasn't because of what happened last night, but the content also surprised him slightly.

"Doing a mission?"

"Yes."

The person in charge of conveying the matter is a pretty clerk girl wearing glasses, who belongs to the peripheral establishment, and is just an ordinary person, not a disciple of God.

There are many staff members like her in the sect headquarters, and the number is several times that of the members of the gods.

Facing the official members of the sect, even the lowest fire-level disciples, the clerk girl still seemed very respectful, and patiently explained with a smile: "It is the task of cleaning up heresies."

"The city bureau police found a hideout of a group of heretics. It is expected that there may be a large number of heretics with extraordinary abilities. In order to avoid alarming the enemy, they did not act immediately. .”

"Deacon Fu Cheng has accepted the City Bureau's request for help, and is now mobilizing manpower to eliminate the group of heretics."
