Breaking the Rules!
The next moment, flames burst into flames on all sides of the street at the same time!
The flames came fiercely and intensely, and the flames that ignited from all directions made the air boil. Bai Yang felt the heat rising all around him, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
Flames shot into the sky from every corner, some even forming pillars of fire. It was clear that someone had used Weird Objects to amplify the flames, causing them to spread faster than they had imagined.
"Ah--Fire!!"
The eeries were quickly alerted and roared in unison.
Qin Rang quickened his pace. "Tao Yuan, Sheng Qingqiao, An Ying, Mei Long, each of you lead a team in one of the four directions to kill any of the strange creatures trying to escape or put out the fire. Everyone, hold nothing back."
"Receive."
The charred corpses, upon seeing fire, fled in panic as if they had encountered their natural enemy, but the flames had already filled the surroundings, leaving them nowhere to hide.
Flames licked at the eerie bodies, and the moment they were engulfed by the flames, the charred corpses suddenly began to fill out their skin, transforming into the vibrant human forms they once were.
These people had numb eyes, having lost all their abilities as monsters, and were desperately rolling around, patting their burning parts, their cries for help echoing through the sea of fire.
"No, save me, I don't want to die!"
"Where's the water? Find some water quickly!"
"Ouch, it hurts so much!!"
This scene was something no one expected.
Fang Yi looked at the screaming humans, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes.
"These strange things are truly insidious," the old man holding a large cleaver sneered. "Don't pay any attention to their self-inflicted suffering; they're long dead. We're just trying to help them escape their misery."
An Ying nodded. "Be careful, everyone."
People moved through the raging fire, while the eerie creatures fled in all directions, chased by the flames.
Some of the strange creatures rushed to the Casinos that were closed during the day, pleading with them to open the Casino and let them in. But the Gambling House doors remained locked, no matter how much they begged or pleaded.
Despite the bloodied and battered body, the Gambling House den remained quiet until the flames completely engulfed the eerie creature.
The flames quickly went out when they touched the Gambling House den's door, as if they were just a sticker, completely out of place here.
Bai Yang stood up and looked around. The flames spread outwards along the sparks. Even the strange method of using water to extinguish the fire had no effect. The fire spread wildly along the flammable materials and along the stall.
Everything seems to be going smoothly.
Bai Yang stared at the flames that had already reached him. Although the red flames raised the temperature in the air to an unbearable level, there was no burning pain.
On the contrary, the eerie place where flames were hidden below was so painful that even the slightest touch of the flames felt as if one's soul was being torn apart.
"Your flames are only effective against the supernatural?"
Qin Rang shook his head. "No, it can also be used on people. I've pulled you all into the companion range, and the flames will automatically avoid all humans in this Instance. But if you fall into the flames yourself, you'll still get burned."
Flames soared into the sky, turning it orange-red, while the sun hung indifferently overhead, radiating its colorless light.
The eerie creature downstairs was surrounded by people and could only huddle in the unburnt areas, watching as the stalls were engulfed in flames.
Just as they were filled with fear, suddenly, the ball of fire burning in front of them seemed to be shaken by something, and the flames instantly shrank considerably.
The street, which had just been engulfed in flames, was immediately brought under control, and the fire was reduced by more than half.
Freed from the suppression of the flames, the monsters once again transformed into charred corpses and lunged straight at the group.
Three blood-red characters appeared simultaneously in front of everyone.
You broke the Rules!
You broke the Rules!!
You broke the Rules!!
It was clear that the eerie creature was very angry; the blood-red words kept enlarging in front of everyone's eyes, almost obscuring their entire vision.
"My flames are being suppressed by a strange energy," Qin Rang, raising his hand to look at the gradually weakening flames in his palm.
This is the Rules taking effect.
There can be no flames on the streets; the Rules forbid fire. However, it's impossible to extinguish such a large fire all at once; it can only be weakened.
"You were right. So, how long do you need to recover?"
Bai Yang was not surprised. Qin Rang and had informed everyone in advance. Faced with the strange counterattack, they were not surprised or panicked.
Bai Yang was waiting here, conserving his energy for this moment.
"This guy has immense energy; I'm not sure I can defeat him," Qin Rang gravely. "If my flames don't ignite a second time, I'll have to rely on you to kill the monster by force."
In the past, they always needed an entire team to successfully deal with B-Rank anomalies, so it was really difficult to expect him to handle this one alone.
It's not impossible for him to go all out, but the live stream is still on his person, so there are some methods he can't use. His teammates are in the same boat, restrained in this Instance.
If Bai Yang weren't here, he could be even more aggressive, but now that Bai Yang is here, it's the perfect time to have him as a backup.
"Then I'll try to rekindle the flame."
Bai Yang raised his hand and touched the long-eared Puppet on his shoulder, a smile playing on his lips, "Little Rabbit, come here."
The enormous Little Rabbit, soaring into the clouds, reappeared in everyone's sight.
Because it was daytime, everyone could see the Little Rabbit clearly this time.
The Little Rabbit's thick fur emitted a faint smell of burning in the flames. Its columnar thighs stomped down the roof they were on, and Qin Rang, caught off guard, fell headfirst.
"Holy shit!"
Qin Rang scrambled to his feet from the rubble, wiping his face. His smile faltered as he shoved the Little Rabbit among his men to prevent it from burning, all the while gritting his teeth, "What are you doing?"
Bai Yang, sitting in the Little Rabbit's paw, appeared even smaller. But his eyes remained gentle and bright, inspiring awe and trust in those around him.
"I'll help you."
[Wow, that Little Rabbit is so cool! It's so fierce! Why don't I have Weird Object like that?]
[I have to say, how did this Little Rabbit grow so big? If it had nothing to do and just wandered around the city a couple of times, what would it be like?]
[How could anyone dare to do that now? The Authorities are watching. Wouldn't it be a living hell to be evicted from all the Residential Zone for that?]
What is this Little Rabbit going to do? Can it breathe fire?
[The fire is about to go out, is it... trying to sacrifice itself in the flames?]
"Are you adding fuel to the fire and making it burn even more fiercely?" Qin Rang asked.
"Smart." Bai Yang smiled.
Qin Rang looked at the Little Rabbit in disbelief, then at the grinning Bai Yang, and said, "You don't need to sacrifice so much. My flames will burn everything away."
