Chapter 291 293 Black Flame (Additional chapter for the helmsman Dongfang Fengyun)
"Why save him? He doesn't want to live anymore. He's already half burned out, and you insist on digging him out!" Someone nearby rolled his eyes and said.
"Who told you that? It's impossible. Which mother would take her own child to die?" said the person who spoke before in a doubtful tone.
"How is it impossible? You think the fire started for no reason? The fire started from inside!" The man deliberately raised his voice and spoke loudly, winking at the crowd as he spoke.
"The official people have just come to investigate. This is a suicide case. There is no need to be surprised. After all, there are always people who collapse in this safe zone, right?" someone else said in cooperation.
There was a buzz of discussion all around, most of which were words like "This world is too hard to endure, the sooner you die the sooner you will be free", or "Just hang in there, everything will be fine, there will be no hope if you die", and so on, as if everyone had already concluded that this was a poor man who could not bear to live anymore and set himself on fire.
"Even if she was just unable to get over it for the time being, we still have to put out the fire. These are three lives. What's more, there are other people around..." The man looked around and lost his voice unconsciously.
"How do we put out such a big fire? Who will put it out? How many resources will be consumed? Don't you see that the tents around have been evacuated? Those domineering officials are already clearing the firebreaks, waiting for the fire to burn through this area, and then it will naturally go out." Someone in the crowd said nonchalantly.
In this end times, human life is worthless, let alone the poor people like them who can't even afford to rent a house.
The security conditions in the slums are poor, not to mention the rescue capabilities.
"Is there really someone inside? The fire was so bad, but we haven't heard any movement from inside! Could it be that someone has already come out? We just didn't see it!" Someone guessed reluctantly.
"She's inside and hasn't come out. I've been watching her! That young mother is a rare beauty. Although her clothes are a little worn out, they can't hide from my eyes. She has fair skin, tall figure, and good temperament. When I saw her with two children, I wanted to go to her house and ask her if she wanted to do...that business. But, ahem, I'll tell you in secret, she definitely didn't commit suicide. She was killed. Two people entered her tent, but came out after a while. After the two people came out, a fire started inside." Someone next to him whispered to the person next to him.
Seeing the man opening his mouth in surprise, he thought that the other party did not believe him and was about to explain, but then he saw the man's surprised expression turned into horror. He looked back and saw a tall and extremely handsome young man standing behind him. He looked at the blazing fire in front of him with a deathly pale face and his hands covered in blood.
"The little girl who was burned to death inside looks like this man." He muttered unconsciously.
In an instant, I felt a cold chill all over my body.
"Scatter and retreat." A cultivator with an imposing aura shouted loudly.
However, it was too late. The young man split the sea of fire horizontally with a sword. Only seventy or eighty centimeters away from the ground, the sea of fire was miraculously split into two parts. The fire in the lower half suddenly subsided, and the upper half of the sea of fire was gently thrown away by the man. His action was just a light move, but the burning sea of fire flew forty or fifty meters away. The scattered flames along the way ignited many tents, forming countless fires of various sizes.
"Ah, ah" panicked screams and cries of pain came one after another, echoing throughout the entire safe zone.
The crowd who were watching the excitement just now were now running away in all directions like headless flies.
Ning Qingyun looked at himself in the picture and felt as if he was in a sea of fire. Every limb of his body was being burned by the flames. The pain from his body to his soul was suffocating him.
He looked at the three black corpses, one big and two small. His eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot. His red eyes were like those of a wild beast that was ready to devour its prey. His whole body was filled with madness that wished to destroy the world.
"Boss, calm down. These are just a few unrecognizable corpses. They may not be the people you are looking for! Besides, even if they are really them, the dead cannot be resurrected. You have to stay alive to avenge them!" Seeing that Ning Qingyun was in a bad state, his subordinates hurriedly tried to persuade him.
He also hoped that these were not them, but he could not deceive himself. "Hahaha" Ning Qingyun shook his body a few times, and suddenly raised his head and let out a suppressed laugh of pain. The voice went from low to high, from suppressed to arrogant. The voice that was originally filled with pain and despair, now heard by the people around him, was full of terrifying malice.
"Who says the dead can't be resurrected? Xianxian, I know you died with your eyes open, and your soul must have not yet gone far. It's not too late now. Wait for me, I'm willing to exchange my life for yours." Ning Qingyun took out a black disc-shaped object from his arms, looked at the people around him with a crazy expression and said to himself, "You are struggling in this fire, and no one is willing to lend a hand. They are all executioners. It's just right. Use their souls. Maybe you can increase your success rate."
"No." Yunshan screamed and rushed out of the crowd, trying to stop his next move, but was kicked in the chest by Ning Qingyun and fell into the burning sea of fire. Gong Hanyu, who was shrinking in the crowd, retreated step by step with horror in his eyes.
Ning Qingyun took a sharp dagger and stabbed it into his heart, and with his other hand pressed the black disc to his heart. After a "bang" sound as if something was broken, countless black flames surged out of Ning Qingyun's body, as if millions of black fire snakes were devouring everything around them.
Some of the people who were set on fire by the black flames rolled on the ground, trying to put out the fire, while others ran hard in fear, trying to find a way to put out the fire. The firefighters sent from the safe zone watched the black flames growing more and more fiercely under the high-pressure water guns, and watched their companions being swallowed by the sea of fire. They desperately dropped their fire-fighting equipment and fled away from the sea of fire.
There was no parking lot in the tent area, and two-legged humans could not outrun the rapidly spreading flames.
Under the burning black flames, a little white light rose and merged into the black disc in Ning Qingyun's hand.
Ning Qingyun took a step forward with hope. Can this thing save them?
He opened his eyes wide nervously, trying to see clearly what that black disk was.
