Chapter 1175 – Fire Reappears
In front of the entrance of the Linjiang City Nightwatchman’s compound, a stretch Lincoln slowly started up.
Wu Quan lowered his head and sat alone on the very edge of the car seat, Lin Qiye sat beside him, his spiritual power constantly monitoring the surrounding situation.
Lin Qiye looked up at the two teenagers and young girls who were as motionless as wood in the opposite car seat and turned his head to look at Wu Quan:
”The two of them, what’s going on? Did you forcefully dominate them?”
Wu Quan shook his head, “No, although I can dominate their bodies, it is impossible to dominate their spirits …… I can only dominate tangible things.”
”Then this is ……”
”Do you want to know?” Wu Quan looked up at Lin Qiye’s eyes, “Me, brother Qingzhu, and the two of them …… the truth about that fire back then, do you want to know?”
”Want to.”
”I can tell you, but you have to exchange it with news of brother Qingzhu.”
Wu Quan’s expression was incredibly serious and his eyes flickered with a slight aura.
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly, “This …… is what you’re tying your hands for? Just to know his whereabouts?”
”Does it matter?” Wu Quan asked rhetorically.
”The current result is already what you want, it doesn’t matter where you want to take me, as long as you tell me the whereabouts of brother Qingzhu, I can guarantee that this journey will be peaceful and quiet, and absolutely no complications will arise.”
Lin Qiye gazed at him for a long time before finally nodding:
”It’s okay.”
Wu Quan was already affiliated with superhumans and did not belong to the realm of ordinary people, and coupled with his relationship with Shen Qingzhu, there was now no need to hide anything from him.
”However, I don’t believe in words, I only believe in what I see myself.” Behind Wu Quan, a long black rope as thick as a thumb resembled a swimming snake, slipping out of the black cross chair, one end wrapped around the tip of his index finger, the other swaying in the air, the
”This is the [Memory Swimmer], as long as two people’s fingers are bolted together, they can see a designated corner of each other’s memories, I’ll open up fire related memories to you, you open up brother Qingzhu’s to me.”
Lin Qiye curiously sized up this wandering worm for a moment and after confirming that there was no problem, he nodded:
”It’s okay.”
He stretched out his index finger and connected it with the [Memory Swimmer], and in the next moment, the image around him quickly distorted!
Two figures raced through the dimly lit alleyway!
The crimson firelight set the dark night sky ablaze, and not far from the compound, the outlines of several buildings had been completely wrapped in roaring flames.
Lin Qiye’s perspective overlapped with that of the young Wuquan, who was running furiously down the alleyway with his skinny legs as hard as he could, but was never able to catch up with the teenager running furiously in front of him.
Judging from the silhouette of the teenager’s back, that was undoubtedly the Shen Qingzhu of four years ago.
Wu Quan rushed into the orphanage right behind Shen Qingzhu, stopping in the compound, the two of them looked up, and the firelight then reflected their faces into red.
The small, solitary dormitory in front of them had completely fallen into the sea of flames, and vaguely, one could still hear the children’s gradually weakening cries, as well as Old Man Liu’s violent coughing.
And between this burning sea of fire, at the top of the small dormitory, a twisted flaming human face, looming.
”What the hell is this ……” Shen Qingzhu frowned and stared at the flaming human face, his expression was gloomy.
Wu Quan, who was only eleven years old, was shielded by Shen Qingzhu, looking at the flaming face in horror, her little face white.
Just as the two were stunned by this bizarre scene, the cries of the children in the small dormitory gradually disappeared, and the coughing sound was also weak to the extreme, leaving only the crackling sound of the flames licking the house, echoing in the empty courtyard.
Shen Qingzhu’s face became more and more ugly.
”You wait here! I’ll go save the others!”
He clenched his teeth and casually picked up a hot iron rod from his side, ignoring the fiery face above his head, and rushed headlong into the sea of fire without any hesitation!
However, just as his figure rushed to the doorway of the small dormitory, a fire snake-like tentacle extended out from the sea of fire and quickly grabbed at Shen Qingzhu’s limbs.
Shen Qingzhu’s eyes narrowed as he gripped the iron rod, relying on his years of fighting experience and battle instincts, he nimbly dodged a few tentacles, and just at this moment, a load-bearing pillar wrapped in flames popped out of the building and slammed head-on into his chest!
Dang-!
Only a muffled sound was heard, Shen Qingzhu’s figure flew out backwards like a kite with broken strings and fell heavily to the ground.
”Brother Qingzhu!!!” Wu Quan shouted and flew to his side.
Shen Qingzhu had blood spilling from the corners of his mouth, his hands propped up on the ground as he staggered and tried to stand up, but a few fire snakes had already wandered right in front of him.
A flash of determination flashed through Wu Quan’s eyes as he quickly picked up the iron rod that had fallen on the ground and stood in front of Shen Qingzhu, and with strength from nowhere, he forcefully smashed back the two fire snakes.
”Watch out!” Shen Qingzhu forcefully pounced Wuquan to the ground, avoiding the subsequent attacks of several fire snakes, if it was half a minute more at night, Wuquan’s body was afraid that he would have to make a few more holes in his body.
With wide eyes, he roared at Wu Quan underneath him:
”You don’t want to fucking die?!”
Wu Quan lay on the ground, biting his lips tightly, the firelight danced in the reflection of his eyes, stubbornness written all over his tender face.
Shen Qingzhu stared angrily at the strange face on the sea of fire, and as soon as he copied the iron rod on the ground that had already been bent, he rushed straight towards the rooftop on the third floor like a madman.
His feet stepped on the edge of the rooftop, and his figure briefly rose up in the air, his stern eyes full of ferocity as he raised the iron rod in his hand and slammed his head against the flaming face in front of him!
Whoosh–!
The iron rod touched the flame face, but it passed through as if it was nothing, the material attack could not affect it at all.
Shen Qingzhu’s pupils suddenly shrunk, and his figure lost its fulcrum in mid-air, plunging headlong into the sea of fire below.
”Brother Qingzhu!!!”
Seeing this, Wu Quan couldn’t control the tears pouring out of her eyes, and her heartbreaking cries resounded through the sky.
At the same time, a wisp of chaotic black light rippled out around his body, and his anxious eyes climbed up with dark intent, becoming deep and mysterious!
Just as he desperately tried to rush into the sea of fire, a roar came from the fire!
A vacuum field swept around, draining all the air from the compound, and the flames that covered the buildings and the strange fire face in the sky were instantly extinguished without a trace.
An unprecedented sense of suffocation enveloped Wu Quan’s heart, making him dizzy and almost falling to the ground, but fortunately, this sense of suffocation only lasted less than two seconds before the air returned.
Black embers swirled in the hot air, and amidst the ruins, a figure slowly stood up.
He picked up a child in the rubble and staggered forward, but just after taking two steps, he tripped and fell to the ground.
Wu Quan flew across the debris filled ground and ran to Shen Qingzhu’s body, at this moment, his clothes were tattered and his face was covered in dust, even though he fell to the ground, he still protected the child in his hands in death.
”Wu Quan ……” Shen Qingzhu hoarsely opened his mouth, one hand tremblingly grasping the corner of Wu Quan’s clothes, looking at him in a trance.
”Quickly save them out …… The ambulance will arrive soon …… The younger siblings …… None of them can be in trouble ……”
As the words fell, Shen Qingzhu, who was mentally overdrawn, fainted on the spot.
”Brother Qingzhu!”
Wu Quan shouted and immediately tested his nostrils, confirming that he was still alive before he let out a slight sigh of relief.
But when his palm, landed on the tip of the nose of that child in Shen Qingzhu’s arms, his body shook slightly and unnoticeably!
No breathing, no heartbeat ……
He broke open that child’s mouth, and all of his mouth was filled with smoke dust.
The kid was dead.
Before Shen Qingzhu rescued him, he was already dead.
Wu Quan fell to his knees in the middle of the dead ruins, looking at the fainted Shen Qingzhu, and the dead child he was firmly protecting in his arms, frozen as if he were a wooden chicken.
