2967: Someone Deliberately Set A Fire. (1 Update)

Xuanwu Restaurant, in a suite on the upper floor.

Claire stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the huge World Tree outside the window and lost in thought. She must take action today, otherwise the employment mission will time out.

"Are you ready?" Dake pushed open the door and entered, having changed into black clothes.

Claire looked back at the man with a firm look in her eyes: "Of course, you can leave at any time.

Dake sat down on the sofa and said in a deep voice: "Let's figure out the plan first."

"Yeah." Claire nodded and sat down opposite the man.

Dake said solemnly: "The closest place to the holy tree, apart from the high ground where outsiders cannot set foot, is the top floor of Xuanwu Restaurant closest to the tree crown. From there, you can approach the holy tree.

It is also difficult for outsiders to discover us. "

Claire said word by word: "Well, so we act according to the plan, first set fire to the Xuanwu Restaurant, and then take advantage of the chaos to go to the top floor.

The original plan was to light the sacred tree, but after thinking about it later, I found that it was not feasible at all, so I had to settle for the next best thing and choose to light the Xuanwu Restaurant.

After all, if you can ignite the holy tree, you can already get the target.

Dake added: "Finally, under the cover of the smoke produced by the flames, I used the flying magic tool to get close to the holy tree, broke off the branches, picked the fruits, and left."

"The process must be fast." Claire's eyes became firm.

"Just do it this way, you can only succeed but not fail." Yin Ke said and stood up.

Claire stood up and said in a cold voice: "Then take action. I'll go to the lower floors to set a fire. You can set a fire outside and gather on the top floor.

"Okay." Dake agreed, and he and the woman left the door one after another.

The two parted in front of the transport ladder, and Claire dropped to the lower floors.

The corners of Dake's lips raised, he took out a Warcraft crystal and squeezed it gently, triggering the magic circle carved inside.

A ball of flame rose up from the Warcraft crystal. He looked towards the carpeted corridor and threw it out.

The corridors of Xuanwu Restaurant are all covered with thick carpets to prevent people walking in the corridors and the sound of footsteps affecting the rest of the guests in the room.

"Gulu~~~"

The Warcraft crystal rolled several times on the ground, and the flames on it quickly ignited the carpet.

With a smile on his lips, Dake turned and walked towards the transport elevator.

He knew that the time for the flame to ignite was limited and he had to get to the top as soon as possible.

The entire frame of the Xuanwu Restaurant is made of colored glaze. Only the carpets and decorations in the corridor are flammable. The flames will naturally go out when the carpets burn out.

Not long after, the carpets on other floors were also burned.

The transport elevator moved upwards step by step, and Claire and Dake met on the top floor.

"Did it succeed?" Dake asked in a deep voice.

Claire raised her chin slightly and said confidently: "Of course, I have never failed."

"Very good, then we will wait for the chaos and then we will take action," Dake said with satisfaction.

"Yeah." Claire nodded.

"It's on fire, please notify the fire brigade."

"Hurry, it's all burning, hurry up and get the fire extinguisher to put it out.

Noisy sounds continued, and the staff of Xuanwu Restaurant became panicked. The transport ladder moved up and down quickly, and more and more people appeared.

"Every tenant, please stay in the room. The fire will not burn in." The person in charge of Xuanwu Restaurant turned pale and began to comfort the tenants floor by floor.

He called over his shoulder: "Have you notified the fire brigade?"

"We have been notified and the fire brigade is on the way." The staff member said with a pale face.

"Okay, everyone go help put out the fire, use water and fire extinguishers, quickly." The person in charge of Xuanwu Restaurant shouted.

"Yes." The staff agreed quickly and ran away to get the fire extinguisher.

"There are too few fire extinguishers, not enough." Suddenly a staff member shouted.

"How could it be?" The person in charge of Xuanwu Restaurant looked even paler.

According to the management regulations of Xuanwu Restaurant, there are strict requirements for the equipment of fire extinguishers. How come there are so few? Could it be that someone is watching and stealing?

He couldn't care about anything else at this time. The most important thing was to ensure the safety of the tenants and seize the time to put out the fire.

His voice trembled slightly, and he shouted loudly: "Quick, go get water to put out the fire, don't let the fire expand."

"Okay." The staff ran away again to get barrels of water to put out the fire.

A few minutes later, several fire trucks stopped outside Xuanwu Restaurant.

The fire truck is very large, similar to existing buses. It is also the third department that uses cars besides patrol guards and transportation departments.

The car door opened, and the fire brigade people hurriedly got out of the car and rushed into the Xuanwu Restaurant carrying various fire extinguishers.

"Everyone give way," the fire chief yelled at the front.

"The fire brigade is here, get out of the way." The person in charge of Xuanwu Restaurant breathed a sigh of relief and quickly organized the staff to get out of the way.

"Tap tap tap~~~"

The fire brigade rushed upstairs with fire extinguishers and began to extinguish the fire floor by floor.

The person in charge of Xuanwu Restaurant said with a white face: "I hope the loss will not be too great..."

Not long after, the firefighters came to the nearest fire point, took out a ball and threw it into the flames.

"Boom~~~"

After a small muffled sound, a sheet of white mist spread out, extinguishing the flames in the entire corridor in just a few breaths.

"Go up one level." The fire chief ordered coldly.

"The firefighters turned around and headed up the next floor.

The fire chief continued: "Leave two people behind and open the windows for ventilation."

"Captain, the window has been opened." Someone responded.

The fire chief said coldly: "Very good, let's put out the fire first and ensure the safety of the tenants, and then carefully check the cause of the fire."

The Xuanwu Restaurant is on fire. This is not a trivial matter. It needs to be investigated and reported.

The firefighters took action and began to put out the fire layer by layer.

The fire chief looked back at the person in charge of the Xuanwu Restaurant who was following him, and asked seriously: "Do you know the cause of the fire?"

"No, I don't know." The person in charge said tremblingly.

"I hope it's not caused by your management negligence, otherwise you will be more responsible." the fire chief reminded.

The person in charge of Xuanwu Restaurant trembled, and his heart dropped when he thought of the severe criminal laws for intentional arson in the Xuanwu Kingdom's constitution.

He thought it was not his fault and felt a little relieved.

"Tap tap tap~~~"

The sound of hurried footsteps came from the stairs, and the firefighters who had put out the fire were back.

One of them had a gray face and said seriously: "Sir, the 18th, 19th, 20th and 1.3 22nd floors are all on fire. It doesn't look like an accident."

The fire captain's expression became solemn when he heard this, and he asked seriously. "Have you found out what caused the fire?"

"They are still investigating." The firefighter shook his head.

"Tap tap tap~~~"

There were footsteps again, and another firefighter came over, holding a tray with several Warcraft crystals on it.

"Sir, the reason has been found." He said respectfully.

The fire captain picked up a Warcraft crystal on the tray, and there were traces of the magic array on it.

"Sure enough, someone set the fire deliberately." His expression darkened.

"Damn it, who is it?" the person in charge of Xuanwu Restaurant yelled angrily.
