At the gate of the Night Watchman’s station in Linjiang City, an extended version of Lincoln started up slowly.

Wu Quan lowered his head and sat alone at the very edge of the seat. Lin Qiye sat beside him, monitoring the surrounding situation with his mental power at all times.

Lin Qiye looked up at the two boys and girls sitting in the car opposite him, who were as still as wood, and then turned to look at Wuquan:

"What happened to the two of them? Did you dominate them by force?"

Wuquan shook his head, "No, although I can control their bodies, I can't control their minds... I can only control tangible things."

"Then this is..."

"Do you want to know?" Wu Quan looked up into Lin Qiye's eyes. "Me, Brother Qingzhu, and the two of them... Do you want to know the truth about the fire that year?"

"think."

"I can tell you, but you have to exchange it for news about Brother Qingzhu."

Wuquan's expression was extremely serious, with a slight gleam in his eyes.

Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly, "This... is why you surrendered? Just to find out his whereabouts?"

"Is this important?" Wuquan asked back.

"The result now is 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 the journey will be peaceful and there will be absolutely no unnecessary trouble."

Lin Qiye stared at him for a while, and finally nodded:

"Can."

Wuquan is already a super-powered person, not an ordinary person. In addition, given his relationship with Shen Qingzhu, there is no need to hide things from him now.

"But I don't believe in words, I only believe what I see." Behind Wu Quan, a black rope as thick as a thumb slid out from the black chair like a snake, one end wrapped around the tip of his index finger, and the other end swayed in the air.

Lin Qiye looked at the insect curiously for a moment, and after confirming that there was no problem, he nodded and said:

"Can."

He stretched out his index finger and connected with the [Memory Bug]. The next moment, the scene around him quickly distorted!

…

Two figures were running rapidly in the dim alley!

The crimson flames lit up the dark night sky. In the courtyard not far away, the outlines of several buildings had been completely engulfed in flames.

Lin Qiye's perspective overlapped with that of the young Wu Quan. He took his thin legs and ran as fast as he could in the alley, but he could never catch up with the boy running in front of him.

Judging from the boy's back, it was undoubtedly Shen Qingzhu from four years ago.

Wu Quan followed Shen Qingzhu into the orphanage and stopped in the courtyard. They looked up and the firelight turned their faces red.

The small dormitory in front of him had completely engulfed in flames. Faintly, he could still hear the children's gradually weakening cries and Old Man Liu's violent coughing.

And in the midst of this blazing sea of ​​fire, on the top of the small dormitory, a twisted flaming human face was looming.

"What the hell is this thing..." Shen Qingzhu frowned and stared at the flaming face with an extremely solemn expression.

Wu Quan, who was only eleven years old, was protected by Shen Qingzhu behind him. He looked at the fiery face in horror, his little face turning pale.

Just as the two were frightened by this strange scene, the crying and shouting of the children in the small dormitory gradually disappeared, and the coughing became extremely weak. Only the crackling sound of flames licking the house was left, echoing in the empty yard.

Shen Qingzhu's face became increasingly uglier.

"Wait here! I'll go save them!"

He gritted his teeth, picked up a hot iron rod from beside him, ignored the burning face above his head, and rushed into the sea of ​​fire without hesitation!

However, as soon as he rushed to the door of the small dormitory, snake-like tentacles extended from the sea of ​​fire and quickly grabbed Shen Qingzhu's limbs.

Shen Qingzhu's eyes narrowed, and he held the iron rod, relying on years of fighting experience and combat instincts to flexibly dodge several tentacles. At this moment, a load-bearing column wrapped in flames popped out from the building and hit him head-on in the chest!

Boom——!

With a dull thud, Shen Qingzhu's figure flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground.

"Brother Qingzhu!" Wuquan shouted and ran to him quickly.

Blood was oozing from the corners of Shen Qingzhu's mouth. He supported himself on the ground with his hands and staggered to stand up, but several fire snakes had already followed him and swam in front of him.

A look of determination flashed in Wuquan's eyes. He quickly picked up the iron rod that fell on the ground, stood in front of Shen Qingzhu, and with strength from somewhere, he smashed the two fire snakes back.

"Be careful!" Shen Qingzhu threw Wuquan to the ground, avoiding the attacks of several subsequent fire snakes. If it was half a minute later, Wuquan's body would probably have a few more holes.

He widened his eyes and yelled at Wuquan below him:

"Are you f**king dying?!"

Wuquan lay on the ground, biting his lips tightly, the firelight flickered in the reflection of his eyes, and his young face was full of stubbornness.

Shen Qingzhu glared at the strange face in the sea of ​​fire, picked up the bent iron rod on the ground, and rushed straight to the rooftop on the third floor like crazy.

He stepped his feet on the edge of the rooftop, and his body briefly flew into the air. His sharp eyes were filled with ferocity. He raised the iron rod in his hand and smashed it on the flaming face in front of him!

whoosh——!

The iron rod touched the flaming face, but it passed through as if nothing was there. Physical attacks had no effect on it at all.

Shen Qingzhu's pupils suddenly shrank, his body lost its support in mid-air, and plunged headfirst into the sea of ​​fire below.

"Brother Qingzhu!!"

When Wuquan saw this, tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes, and his heart-wrenching cries resounded through the sky.

At the same time, wisps of chaotic black light spread out around his body. His anxious eyes were filled with darkness, becoming deep and mysterious!

Just when he was trying desperately to rush into the sea of ​​fire, a roar came from the fire!

A vacuum field swept around, draining away all the air in the courtyard. The flames covering the buildings and the strange flaming face in the sky also disappeared in an instant.

An unprecedented feeling of suffocation enveloped Wuquan's heart, making him dizzy and almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, this feeling of suffocation lasted less than two seconds before the air returned again.

Black embers swirled in the hot air, and among the ruins, a figure slowly stood up.

He picked up a child from the rubble and staggered forward, but after taking just two steps, he tripped and fell to the ground.

Wu Quan quickly stepped over the debris on the ground and ran to Shen Qingzhu. At this moment, his clothes were tattered and his face was covered with dust. Even after falling to the ground, he still tightly protected the child in his arms.

"Wuquan..." Shen Qingzhu spoke hoarsely, grabbing the corner of Wuquan's clothes with one trembling hand, looking at him in a trance.

"Hurry up and rescue them... The ambulance will be here soon... Brothers and sisters... No one should get hurt..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qingzhu, who was exhausted, fainted on the spot.

"Brother Qingzhu!"

Wu Quan shouted and immediately tested his breath. After confirming that he was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But when his palm landed on the nose of the child in Shen Qingzhu's arms, his body shook slightly!

No breathing, no heartbeat...

He pried open the child's mouth, and it was full of smoke and dust.

The child is dead.

He was already dead before Shen Qingzhu rescued him.

Wuquan knelt down in the dead silence of the ruins, looking at Shen Qingzhu who had fainted on the ground, and the dead child tightly in his arms, dumbfounded. Some people died, but not completely dead...
