Chapter 665 Rescue

Those who are sucked into the Yin-Yang Mirror will experience all sorts of temptations inside. If you waver even slightly in the face of these temptations, you may become trapped inside and unable to escape.

Time flows at different rates inside and outside the mirror; one day inside the mirror is equivalent to one day outside.

If they stay here for a day or two longer, those souls that have been blinded by the allure of the world and whose wills are wavering will gradually merge with the Yin-Yang Mirror.

Their life's circumstances will also take a sharp turn for the worse from the peak of their life, experiencing all kinds of betrayals and deceptions, falling into the dust, and finally being completely refined by the Yin-Yang Mirror into nourishment for the mirror.

Ye Wanxi's face was terribly gloomy: "They really think highly of us."

Feng Tianyu didn't say anything, but he squeezed the silver frame tightly. In just a moment, the silver frame, which was still barely discernible, turned into sand.

"Senior Brother, we..."

Just as Ye Wanxi was about to ask what to do next, she suddenly heard a deafening roar from above, which shook the ground.

Feng Tianyu quickly helped her up and looked up.

"What happened?" Ye Wanxi finally managed to steady herself and asked, when she heard screams coming from outside, one louder than the next.

"Fire! Fire! Huge fire! Help! Ahhhhhh!"

"Something exploded! Fire...fire! Run!"

Ye Wanxi and the other woman exchanged a glance and rushed outside.

When the two ran outside, they discovered that the explosion had occurred on the second floor of their shop. Because this area was a planned commercial district, the entire row of houses was connected.

The moment the explosion occurred, the fire spread rapidly, almost instantly reaching other houses.

Furthermore, there were already many customers on this street, especially under the explosion site, where a large crowd of onlookers had gathered.

When the accident happened, everyone instinctively ran outside, and a terrible stampede occurred in no time.

That's not the most troublesome part. The most troublesome part is that the flow of people is blocking the entrances and exits, so people inside can't climb out, and people outside can't rush in.

If this is the case for people, then fire trucks are even more vulnerable.

While everyone else was rushing out, a woman was anxiously trying to squeeze back in.

"My child, my child is still inside, my child!"

Hearing her shouts, people around her instinctively stopped in their tracks. After seeing the situation on the building not far away, many of them changed their expressions.

This woman is a long-time local resident, living on the fourth floor above several jewelry stores.

She had just gone downstairs to buy something before the explosion; both her children were at home.

The initial explosion point was only a few buildings away from their house, but the fire spread over in just two or three minutes.

The two children, who were locked in their home, were awakened by the explosion, but it was too late to escape.

The two children were trapped in the second bedroom, with the temperature rising and flames spreading rapidly behind them. The older brother struggled to lift his younger sister onto the windowsill, but they didn't know where to escape to.

Their home is on the fourth floor, and there's nothing downstairs to help them cushion the impact.

The two children were only six or seven years old, and the younger one was only three or four. It's easy to imagine what the consequences would be if they fell from such a height.

"There are still two children! Quickly, save them!"

"How can we save them? The fire is so big, and all the entrances and exits are blocked. We can't get in at all! Didn't you see that the floor below is full of fire? It's probably going to explode soon. Who dares to go over there?"

"This is terrible! Where are the fire trucks? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"How could it be that fast? The nearest fire station would take ten minutes to get here. Besides, given the current situation, even if they came, they wouldn't be able to get in. By the time they get here, the child will be dead."

The children's mother looked out the window at her two children and cried her heart out. She struggled to rush into the building but was held back by kind-hearted people around her.

Meanwhile, some nearby families busied themselves gathering bed sheets and blankets, hoping to use them to catch the two poor children.

However, before they could take any action, an explosion came from the third floor below.

The girl, who was crying loudly in fright from this terrible turn of events, slipped and fell headfirst.

When the girl's brother saw his sister fall, he panicked and climbed onto the windowsill, then jumped down after her.

"Ah..." The child's mother screamed upon seeing this scene and collapsed on the spot.

The surrounding crowd couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Just then, two figures suddenly darted over from the side, stepping on the temporary cloaks erected nearby. They took several steps in one, stretched out their long arms, and each of them scooped up a child into their arms. Then, stepping on the slightly raised billboards around them, they lightly flew down.

The crowd below: "?!?!?!?!"

Everything happened so suddenly that no one was able to react at first.

It wasn't until the two children were born and started crying that everyone finally realized what had just happened.

The children's mother immediately broke free from the pull of others and rushed to the two children who had just been put down, bursting into tears.

The two children were already frightened, and seeing their closest relatives made them unable to hold back any longer. They threw themselves into their mother's arms and cried even harder.

This scene, witnessed by everyone, evoked both emotion and relief.

Some young people breathed a sigh of relief, but were also a little excited.

"Did you guys see what just happened? That was the fourth floor! It went up in a flash and came down in a flash. Is that even possible?"

"Goodness, it turns out I wasn't the only one who saw it. I thought I was just hallucinating because I was too nervous."

"A real-life version of scaling walls and leaping across rooftops! Who are those two people? Martial arts masters? Superheroes?"

People around were talking about it. The children's mother, holding her two children who had been lost and found again, was also eager to find her saviors to thank them in person, but found that the two men had already disappeared.

After rescuing the two children, Ye Wanxi and her companion did not linger but quickly moved to another location to find others who needed help.

Fortunately, after this little incident, the passengers who had initially fled in panic calmed down and began to evacuate in an orderly manner.

The fire trucks that finally arrived were able to enter the street and begin extinguishing the fire shortly afterward.

When everyone was rescued and the fire was almost extinguished, the staff responsible for maintaining order and tallying the casualties discovered that, apart from a few tourists who were trampled while evacuating in a panic after the explosion and were seriously injured, most of those trapped inside the fire only suffered minor injuries.

When asked about their rescue, most of them mentioned two young men wearing masks.

The elderly and children have limited language skills and can't express themselves clearly, but some young people are so excited that they grab the staff's hands and start talking.
