In the afternoon, Backlund, Lin Ruo's office.
"Speaking of which, are all the Hunter pathway potions red? I always feel like they're hard to drink." Looking at the tomato juice-colored potion in front of him, Lin Ruo immediately thought of the strangely flavored, memorable Provoker potion he had before, and couldn't help but complain.
After leaving Tingen and returning to Backlund, Lin Ruo dealt with some trivial matters here and went to participate in the Beyonder gathering held in the afternoon, wanting to purchase the remaining two auxiliary Ingredients needed to concoct the Pyromaniac potion.
Fortunately, the result did not disappoint him. Lin Ruo finally successfully purchased the remaining two auxiliary Ingredients at the gathering. After returning to the office after the gathering, adhering to the principle of striking while the iron is hot, Lin Ruo simply took advantage of the freshly bought materials to directly concoct the Pyromaniac potion.
"Huff, let me see if it's the same as last time..." Letting out a breath, Lin Ruo adjusted his state and tilted his head back, gulping down the tomato juice-like Pyromaniac potion in the glass.
Glug—
The bitter and sour taste once again filled his taste buds. This time, the taste was even more bizarre than last time. Lin Ruo frowned, but still swallowed the entire glass of Pyromaniac potion in one gulp.
His spirit, as before, suddenly entered a trance uncontrollably. At this moment, Lin Ruo seemed to see something.
It seemed to be a battlefield, and he was walking in the middle of it.
Blood and fire filled his vision, the smell of rust surrounded his nose, and the slaughter was close at hand, but no one seemed to see him.
He was like a ghost on the battlefield, or perhaps a cold observer.
He seemed to see something, walking in a certain direction, but before Lin Ruo could see it clearly, everything in front of him suddenly disappeared. Lin Ruo saw the familiar tables and chairs of his alchemy room again, and the information belonging to the Pyromaniac had already appeared in his mind.
Lin Ruo didn't care about that. He covered his chest in rare confusion, where the feeling of indifference to everything seemed to linger.
"That was... me?"
"How could I... become like that..."
His voice was hesitant and confused. This was not the first time Lin Ruo had shown this kind of posture, but this time it was no longer acting.
He was scared.
He was afraid of turning into a cold monster, from someone who valued mortals and life, into a monster who could coldly watch anyone die, treating mortals as ants.
During this period, Lin Ruo had not stopped exploring his past memories. He had also searched for even a little clue in the vast historical documents of St. Samuel Cathedral, but to no avail.
But his amnesia was different from Mr. Azik's. He didn't get any clues about his past from himself. The only person he could currently confirm that he knew from the past was Mr. Azik, but he was also in a state of amnesia.
As for finding clues from other old monsters—not to mention that these old monsters are more cunning than the next, making them difficult to find, and even the Truth might not be useful. Even if you find them, how to get them to speak is a problem.
So Lin Ruo temporarily put aside the problem of finding his memory, planning to wait until his strength was further improved and he had enough confidence to deal with those demigods and angels.
But now he was confused.
Was it really right for him to look for his past memories? What if the price was becoming like that…
No, calm down! Lin Ruo, you need to calm down!
Think of Mr. Azik! Think of Will! Think of Klein!
High sequences are not incapable of maintaining humanity, and... Lin Ruo took a deep breath and thought of more.
He thought of the Goddess's overtures, Adam's inexplicable attitude, the situation where he and Klein were bound together, the improvement of his special abilities when Klein advanced, and the strangeness of his drinking potions...
Lin Ruo absolutely did not believe that him remembering that scene just now after drinking the Pyromaniac potion was an accident. Combining this with everything before, a guess arose spontaneously.
"Perhaps... the past me was once a super Big Brother, but I didn't maintain my humanity very well…"
"Could it be that my amnesia was caused by myself? The purpose was to re-stabilize my humanity, just like Mr. Azik…"
As if a drowning person had grabbed the only life-saving straw, Lin Ruo felt more and more that this guess made sense the more he thought about it.
"Battlefield... then would I know Medici?"
Another question arose spontaneously. Lin Ruo thought of his original plan to see the Red Angel after Klein advanced to Clown, and suddenly had a feeling of striking while the iron is hot.
If the Red Angel really knew him, then at least it would be a clue.
Besides that, it was to improve his sequence.
Since advancing to Pyromaniac made him think of something about the past, then continuing to advance, perhaps he could think of more.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruo took another breath, and his mood finally calmed down a bit.
He finally had the mood to pay attention to the abilities that the Pyromaniac potion brought him.
First of all, the abilities he possessed as a Provoker were fully strengthened. His physical fitness was stronger than before. Abilities similar to fighting ability and tracking ability were also further improved. It can be said that the Hunter really went far in the field of direct combat.
The ability to provoke others and easily arouse their anger has also been greatly improved, with stronger control, and to a certain extent, he can see through the points that can arouse others' anger with Beyonder abilities.
The ability to discover the weaknesses of prey has also been greatly improved. He already has the prototype of the ability to directly strike weaknesses that the Reaper will have in the future.
In addition, there is the new ability to manipulate flames.
Even if the Pyromaniac is in a fire, they will not be burned by the flames. They can freely manipulate any flames that do not have Beyonder characteristics. They can also create flames out of thin air, just like a fire-based mage, throwing a fireball or creating a fire barrier is just commonplace.
Moreover, the Pyromaniac can also condense a flame spear with Beyonder characteristics. This flame spear is similar to a big move, with extremely strong destructive power and lethality. At the same time, once something is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish.
It can be said that although it is not as fancy as a Magician, with many skills, the Pyromaniac as Sequence 7 is not weak at all, and its direct combat power is extremely strong.
Of course, this is not a surprise to Lin Ruo. After all, Lin Ruo had already familiarized himself with the Pyromaniac's abilities when he was giving Klein special training.
However, now that he has officially advanced to Pyromaniac, Lin Ruo has a new understanding of how to act as a Pyromaniac.
"Pyromaniac... what is manipulated should not only be real flames…"
"Hunters and Witches seem to be pathways that can control other people's emotions, and both of these pathways have the meaning of disaster and chaos, but the Hunter is not so obvious, and it is relatively positive to act... The Pyromaniac itself can also be said to be extremely good at controlling other people's anger…"
"Arson... could it be that what is manipulated is also the anger in other people's hearts?"
"By manipulating the anger in other people's hearts to achieve one's own goals…" Lin Ruo thought, and vaguely had a direction for how to act next.
He then stretched his back and planned to rest for a while.
Today's special ability didn't consume much, but Lin Ruo still planned to recover a wave first, after all, he was going to see Sauron Einhorn Medici in a while.
Although he can now simulate the abilities of Sequence 3, he is more confident in seeing Medici, and even feels that he can already support himself, but he must not take it lightly.
