Chapter 199 Fire



Wait, oh, we're looking at the same thing, I see.

[? How did you all understand? What should I do then?]

[Not much, just play a few more games to hone yourself.]

Just as the two people beside the car fell into silence, the car made a louder noise, as if something had completely broken down, followed by a burst of unpleasant smell.

"Run!" Renault shuddered, grabbed Qiongzhi and ran out. The two of them ran very fast. When they were about seven or eight meters away from the car, the car behind them exploded with a bang, and a raging fire suddenly broke out. The flames flickered on the faces of the others.

Childe was still in the red pickup truck. Everything happened so fast that he was frightened by the flames rising into the sky and fell back into the seat, no longer trying to get out.

The outline of the flames fell into his eyes, and the rising black smoke almost replaced the dark clouds in the sky.

The cemetery was in disarray, many tombstones broken and rutted. Flames slowly spread from around the car, and with another crackle, the car exploded a second time.

Renault rushed back to the car with Qiongzhi, both of them looked a little embarrassed.

Zild looked at one and then the other, and seeing that both of them were fine, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then asked: "Ni Jie...?"

Renault and Qiongzhi shook their heads. They closed the car door and looked at the raging fire outside. They were all confused for a moment.

"What should we do now?" Childe felt the slight vibration of the car when it started in a daze, and Renault turned them around.

What Childe didn't know was that when the two men were running towards the car, they had a conversation, and Qiongzhi analyzed her thoughts to Renault.

Maybe they shouldn't have left the Red House in the first place.

The witch locked the doors and windows of the Red House, which shows that she has fully understood human nature. After all, when locked in an unknown house with hidden secrets, most people's first thought would definitely be to find a way to escape.

Isn’t this exactly the course of action for Qiongzhi and others?

But Qiongzhi believed that the witch had no way of predicting where they would go after leaving the house. The reason for this was naturally because Qiongzhi noticed the diary.

When they were in the red house, because of the existence of the witch, the time when the blood words appeared in the diary was basically the same as the time when the tragedy of Jane Lis occurred. When they arrived at the library, the monster had already appeared, and the blood words only slowly emerged afterwards.

This meant that the witch was not present when they first arrived at the library.

So, things go back to the original logic. They need to figure out why the witch wants to lead them out of the red house?

Obviously, there are more secrets about her in the red house, perhaps even secrets that can destroy her.

Qiongzhi felt sorry for the other person for what she had suffered in her life, but that didn't mean they had to die for the crimes committed by others.

Generations have passed. How many people living in this town today still know what happened back then? I'm afraid almost none. So in fact, most people are innocent.

But Qiongzhi had no way to blame the witch. As a victim, everything she had experienced might be more painful than the few short sentences in the book.

After she gained special abilities because of those stories, she wanted revenge but couldn't find her enemies because they were already dead...

It's a completely unsolvable problem.

But no matter what, they must return to the Red House now if they don't want to die.

The car slowly drove away from the cemetery. Qiongzhi opened the diary to read the "story" about Ni Jie. Renault concentrated on driving, and Zild was wondering what he was thinking.

No one noticed that in the cemetery behind them that was gradually being engulfed by flames, several crows flew silently out of the flames, leaving behind only a charred corpse with an empty interior.

The flames showed no sign of stopping; they continued to spread outward with the help of the wind, threatening to engulf the entire town.

The familiar cornfield finally appeared in the sight of the three people again. Qiongzhi, who was extremely reluctant to enter here at that time, probably didn't expect that in less than a day, he would take the initiative to ask to enter here again.

The car couldn't drive into the cornfield, so the three people had to get out. Thanks to the brothers Ni Ye and Ni Jie for leaving marks here, they were able to quickly find the previous entrance.

"Be careful." Renault entered the cornfield first, followed closely by Qiongzhi and Child.

Stepping into this place again, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

They ran very fast, and this movement that represented freedom brought them nothing but fatigue and heaviness.

Because every step seemed to be stepping on the previous footprints. At that time, there were more than three people walking on this road.

When Childe saw the familiar small pit, he immediately pursed his lips, looked away and ran over quickly. Later on the road, they saw the somewhat short scarecrow again.

Silence echoed among the three of them, and the sound of footsteps was the only sound in the cornfield, until the red house appeared before their eyes again.

On the red roof stood dozens of black crows, each with bright red eyes. They moved their heads or preened their feathers from time to time, but did not call.

The green door of the house was closed, as if they were not welcome.

Renault went up to open the door, thinking that it might not open, but it opened easily.
