Chapter 207 Justice is Burning
The large screen in the control room originally displayed all the surveillance footage in the building in a grid format.

But now, the five grids in the upper right corner of the big screen are completely black—these five grids originally displayed the five monitoring screens in area C on the first floor.

Under Arthur's instruction, the staff played back the final image.

Hui Yuanchu and Arthur saw a figure covered in flames.

Then, the next moment the flame man appeared, the images from all five cameras disappeared.

"Yes, Huo Thallium?...He went to the first floor?" Hui Yuanchu frowned.

After all, the result of their discussion just now is that since the fire thallium hero aims to kill the snake, he will definitely choose to attack upward once he resumes action.

But now the clear facts are in front of him - not only did the fire thallium hero not go up, but he went down to kill.

While they were talking, six more grids in the upper center of the large screen suddenly turned black.

"All the surveillance systems in Area A on the second floor suddenly went offline!" the staff member exclaimed.

In the replayed screen, the figure of flame also appeared at the last moment.

Arthur frowned: "...the fire thallium hero is carrying out indiscriminate attacks?"

"I see, this is a despicable and cruel but effective tactic. Is this to force us to change our defense posture and send men to stop him?" He touched his chin, thought quickly and made a judgment: "Indeed, we can't leave it alone. Those people were killed ... even though they were prisoners serving time."

"But if the STF is sent out, it will play into the hands of the Fire Thallium Heroes. In the narrow corridor, the STF's firepower and numerical advantage cannot be spread, and the Fire Thallium Heroes will only kill them one by one. So, he doesn't need to get close to the upper level. It can wear down the strength of our defense a little bit.”

Arthur finally sighed and said with a wry smile: "...I originally thought that a person like Huo Thallium Hero who pursues justice would not adopt such a strategy of killing innocent people indiscriminately."

"Although this is not something a fire thallium hero would do, it is something a snake would do." Hui Yuanchu shrugged, "Maybe it was another suggestion given to him by the snake."

"So I just don't understand why Hero Huo is willing to be used by snakes." Arthur slammed his fist on the table, and his voice began to be a little uncontrollable, "Those people who were killed before are the same, and so are these people now. Obviously in the eyes of the fire thallium hero, Snake is the person who deserves to be killed, but why do you still listen to his instigation?"

...Thallium Fire Hero’s Thoughts?

Hui Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly had the idea of ​​trying it.

He closed his eyes, and the fire thallium hero suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

The appearance of the fire thallium hero, all the words he has said, his expressions, and the information about his past.All the information about the Fire Thallium Hero that Hui Yuanchu had sensed was rolled up by the cicadas, forming a replica of the "Fire Thallium Hero".

Then, Hui Yuanchu entered the heart of this "Fire Thallium Hero" built by a group of cicadas and read his thoughts.

Hui Yuanchu opened his eyes and said: "Because whether to instigate or not, it actually does not change the Huo Thallium Hero's view of these people."

"In other words, these people, the fire thallium hero originally thought they could kill."

"In the whisper, the snake told the truth. The snake only provided information. The judgment was made by the hero of Fire Thallium himself."

Hui Yuanchu recounted the thoughts glimpsed from the heart of the recreated Fire Thallium hero.

"So, the only reason to do something is that it is just... Will it be used by others? Will it benefit others? That has nothing to do with whether it is just or not!"

"Justice...should be so pure!!"

"Just like the sun, every plant and tree in this world grows because it receives the blessing of light. But when the sun is burning itself, can it still be stingy?"

"Justice is burning!!"

——"Cross Center" is activated.

The clone fire thallium hero disappeared into thin air.

Hui Yuanchu suddenly woke up, and clearly realized that his voice just now was getting warmer.

It was as if the hero of fire thallium was using his mouth to express hot emotions:
Arthur looked unhappy and obviously wanted to say something else.

But at this time, a girl's impatient voice sounded from the side, interrupting him: "So what if you kill innocent people indiscriminately? So what if you don't kill innocent people indiscriminately? This is not the point at all! Arthur, don't use your corrupt Think about the problem with a straight mind. How about using a utilitarian view instead? A utilitarian view!"

Zhe Lukui came back at some point, frowning and mocking, she looked up at the big screen.

She glanced back and forth between the several destroyed grids and said: "... In the three areas on the first floor except Area C, the Fire Thallium Hero did not go."

“…The actions of the Fire Thallium Hero are not indiscriminate killing.

"He acted with a certain purpose.

“We have to figure out what he’s trying to do.

"I cannot tolerate any unknown factors affecting my plan." Arthur was silent for a moment and said, "You are right, but we don't have a mobile force to do this now."

"Our highest priority is still apron defense. Therefore, the STF's defense policy and deployment cannot be changed. Nor can I draw any more manpower from the already weak STF defense line."

"Of course, it's meaningless to dispatch STF in this situation. In such a narrow space, STF will only fight against A2 to keep fueling the situation." Zhe Lukui seemed to be echoing, In fact, he was smiling, going around and around but refusing to say a certain key meaning.

Arthur took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at Hui Yuanchu: "Okay, my friend. Frankly speaking, now I want you to check the situation below to see what Hero Huo is doing... To be honest , I begged you to stay before, just to prevent this situation."

Then, without waiting for Hui Yuanchu to express his opinion, he turned to Zhe Lukui again: "You also agree, right? Since you also think that we must find out the intention of Hero Huotong, you also said that you don't want your plan to be hindered."

"Of course I don't have any objection. What objection can I have?" Zhe Lukui said disapprovingly, "After all, it was Xiao Hui... who said she wanted to stay. For your, um, friendship."

Then, she took a deep look... or gave Hui Yuanchu a fierce look, and said: "... Anyway, Xiao Hui has no other advantages, except that he will never die, so he is just used to explore the road."

……

Five minutes later, Hui Yuanchu arrived at the entrance of Area C on the first floor.

Behind the thick and closed isolation door in front of you is the corridor of Area C.It was also the last time they saw the flaming figure in the video, where Fire Thallium Justice stood.

He began to push open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, the smell of sulfur and gunpowder came to the face.

And when the door opened, Hui Yuanchu couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at the scene in front of him.

...It was originally a square corridor of a modern building, with snow-white walls on both sides, bright fluorescent lamps on the top, and smooth ground underfoot that could reveal reflections.

But now, all of this has disappeared.

Instead, there is a channel that was melted by high temperature and then solidified, showing the roughest original appearance of the rock.Blackened, wrinkled, and ugly, like the entrails of an animal.

Only through the row of bright holes on both sides of the passage can we barely see the traces of the original cells on both sides of the corridor.

Hui Yuanchu took a deep breath and immediately understood the reason why all the surveillance heads disappeared.

In an instant, flames swept through the entire corridor.

Even the cement in the corridor was like this, and those surveillance heads were probably evaporated in an instant.

Hui Yuanchu continued to walk forward until he reached the first "hole" and looked inside.

Then he was stunned again.

...In stark contrast to the scorched hell outside, the cell at the entrance of the cave still maintains its original appearance.

It can be said that except for the exit, which inevitably turned into charcoal along the corridor, there was no damage at all inside.

There are even prisoners alive.

But the man was kneeling in the middle of the room, trembling all over and looking like he was overly frightened.

Or maybe it was because he finally saw someone coming. Before Hui Yuan could ask questions, the prisoner had already screamed in horror.

"Fire, fire man——!!!"

"It's a monster, it's a monster!!"

"But, it can talk."

"It said to me - 'Escape from prison is a death sentence'!!!"

"I don't run away, I don't run away... because, dead, really dead!!!"

Hui Yuanchu was taken aback, and immediately ran forward, scanning the other cells left and right.

Sure enough, there are two situations in the cells on both sides -

Or the prisoner is still staying well in his cell.Their performances varied, some were trembling, some buried their heads too deep to dare to raise their heads, and some just screamed crazily.

But those cells where there was no one inside and the prisoners seemed to have escaped without a trace, all had one thing in common... On the doormat of the cell, there was a pile of ashes of unknown origin.

Hui Yuanchu suddenly stopped.

He finally saw a cell that was different from the previous two situations.
