Chapter 1176 – Domination

　　Wu Quan came back to his senses and madly climbed up from the rubble to rescue the others inside the small dormitory.

　　In the end, when the skinny Wu Quan clenched his teeth and carried the heavy old man Liu to the open space, his entire body was already tired and sweating, he couldn’t wait to rest and quickly checked the other children’s vital signs.

　　In the fire scene, there were a total of four children, two ten years old, one three years old, one four years old.

　　Of these four children, two lived and two died.

　　Strangely enough, the older Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng, on the contrary, did not carry through this calamity, and the ones who survived were the three and four year olds.

　　Wu Quan broke open the mouth of that Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng, their mouth and nose piled up with smoke dust, he had seen this kind of death when he was in the begging gangs, which was choked to death alive by the smoke in the fire.

　　Uzumi’s gaze swept over the faces of the two surviving children immediately afterward, and over each of their faces, a moist towel was covered.

　　Children of this age would not understand this kind of knowledge, if Wu Quan did not guess wrongly, this should be after the fire, Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng in a hurry to get out, in the life and death of a line, they still chose to prioritize the protection of younger siblings life safety.

　　Old man Liu should have rushed into the small dormitory after the fire, inhaling the least amount of smoke, so he also survived, only temporarily falling into a coma.

　　Ashes fluttered over the dimly lit courtyard, Wu Quan looked at the corpses of Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng, as well as the unconscious Shen Qingzhu and Old Man Liu on the side in silence, his fists clenched tightly.

　　In his mind, the scene of Shen Qingzhu fighting for his life with the fire face just now surfaced, as well as the last hoarse and hopeful words.

　　But in the end, Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng are still dead ……

　　He could already imagine what Shen Qingzhu’s expression would be after he awoke and saw the corpses of the two of them.

　　Wu Quan knew his brother Qingzhu too well, he would definitely hate himself for why he hadn’t been able to destroy this flame earlier, why he hadn’t been able to rush back home in time, he would stubbornly take everything on himself, and from then on live in endless self-blame and remorse.

　　Thinking of this, a strong sadness and guilt surfaced in the eyes of this child who was only eleven years old.

　　He was going to let Shen Qingzhu down.

　　”How good it would be if …… you guys could survive.”

　　Wu Quan hugged his knees, crouched helplessly on the ground, looked at the two corpses, and muttered.

　　Plop–!

　　A soft sound came out from Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng’s chests.

　　Wu Quan froze.

　　As if he had sensed something, he looked down at his hands, and a faint halo emerged in his eyes.

　　I …… can control them?

　　This idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

　　Wu Quan tentatively stretched out his hand and gently waved it at the two corpses, and the two hearts that had already stagnated, under the power of the [Dominating Emperor], actually beat once again!

　　As the hearts began to beat, and blood flowed rapidly within the corpses, the dark intent in Wu Quan’s eyes grew thicker, and his manipulation of the two corpses became more and more precise.

　　Heart manipulation, lung function manipulation, kidney function, spleen function, stomach function ……

　　Wu Quan’s figure slowly stood up, his hands waved in the air, like a virtuoso commanding the corpses, and the two corpses, which were already cold, actually began to come to life.

　　This was not corpse manipulation, but rather, under the condition of controlling all their organs, he brought this “dead” body back to life, their heartbeats, pulses, and blood pressures were all gradually approaching the level of a normal person under his control.

　　The only drawback was that no matter how close to normal these two bodies were, their spirit and consciousness were already dead, and they were just two “living corpses”.

　　Their gazes were still empty and dead.

　　However, these things can be changed through some small organs.

　　Under Wuquan’s domination, their empty eyes began to glow, and their facial muscles continued to twitch, as if they were controlling different expressions.

　　After a few minutes, Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng completely “came to life”, standing quietly in front of him.

　　Surprise surfaced in Wu Quan’s eyes.

　　”Ah …… Oh …… you …… Wu, Wu Quan …… I’m Li Xiaoyan …… Yan ……”

　　”I’m not …… hurt …… I’m fine.”

　　”Brother Qingzhu …… don’t worry.”

　　”Wu Quan, let’s eat!”

　　”What are you calling him for? He’s just a piece of wood, he wants to be left alone, let him be left alone.”

　　Wu Quan manipulated the mouths of the two men to open and close, their vocal cords vibrated, and after each attempt, their words and actions became closer and closer to their daily lives, and in the end, there was not the slightest hint of dissimilarity to be seen at all.

　　Wu Quan breathed a long sigh of relief, his gaze fell on the unconscious Shen Qingzhu, and a moment later, the corners of his mouth hooked up into a smile of innocence.

　　”Brother Qingzhu.” He murmured.

　　”What about all the people you saved ……”

　　Lin Qiye snapped his eyes open!

　　At the same time, Wu Quan, who was sitting beside him, also opened his eyes.

　　The [Memory Swimmer] flew back into the darkness behind Wu Quan, and the two of them just stared at each other, falling into silence.

　　”So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is …… ” Lin Qiye’s mind connected everything together and came to a sudden realization.

　　”From the very beginning, Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng were manipulated by you?

　　Your [Domination Emperor] can only take effect within three kilometers, so even if you go to school, you can only go to the middle school closest to the orphanage, and once you leave that range, Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng inside the orphanage will immediately turn back into corpses, scaring Director Liu and the other children ……

　　No wonder you’d rather kill all of Li’s family than move, and no wonder your first request after being caught by me was to see Dean Liu.

　　Only by sidetracking Dean Liu from the orphanage could Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng leave from there and keep a safe distance from you in the dark all the time to prevent losing control and turning back into a corpse ……”

　　Lin Qiye looked at Wuquan with complicated eyes.

　　”So …… these four years, you’ve been playing the identities of three people?”

　　”It’s not a difficult task.” Wu Quan slowly spoke, “Although it was a bit tough in the beginning, disconnecting from them from time to time, the later it gets, the easier it gets.”

　　Wu Quan looked down at his hands as if he was still digesting the memories he saw in Lin Qiye’s mind, and his expression was a bit dazed.

　　What Lin Qiye had intercepted for him were the memory fragments from finding Shen Qingzhu in hell to the departure of the crowd, but even such a small segment had a huge impact on Wu Quan.

　　Wu Quan closed his eyes and lay on his back on the leather sofa, taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling ……

　　His body, which had been taut until now, finally relaxed completely, and a large stone in his heart fell to the ground.

　　The corner of his mouth, hooked up a faint smile.

　　If brother Qingzhu is not dead, he will definitely come back …… They, too, will meet one day sooner or later.

　　Knowing this, even if he was locked up in a dark and sunless prison, it was worth it.
