Chapter 869 I Won’t Let You Die (Part 2)
And the person who started that fire...
"You killed them. If you hadn't run away, they wouldn't have died."
The devil's low moaning once again surrounded Ruan Qi after ten years.
She was trembling all over and her pupils gradually dilated.
“It’s not me…it’s not me…”
"I didn't kill them...I didn't..."
At this moment, the 20-year-old girl seemed to have turned into the nine-year-old girl she was back then, with helplessness written all over her eyes.
The most painful memories kept attacking her nerves, and those nightmares that she had deliberately forgotten once again stretched out their terrifying claws and surrounded her tightly.
Ruan Qi's already damaged spiritual consciousness began to collapse under the huge stimulation.
Bai Li was extremely anxious in the system.
"Xiao Qi! Xiao Qi! Calm down!"
Ruan Qi seemed not to hear his call, and his spiritual sea of consciousness continued to collapse madly.
At this moment, a child's cry echoed through the sea of fire.
"Wuwaaaaaaa! Big sister, what's wrong with you? Chuanchuan is so scared!"
Chuanchuan's helpless cry miraculously brought Ruan Qi back to his senses.
Her body shook violently.
Chuanchuan, Chuanchuan is still in the fire.
She failed to save those children ten years ago, and she couldn't let Chuanchuan lose his life again ten years later.
The fire was a nightmare Ruan Qi would never forget. The children who died in the fire were also a regret she would never be able to erase.
This regret was buried deep in her heart until this moment, when it completely turned into an obsession that made her wake up again.
She can't let Chuanchuan die!
Chuanchuan must survive!
She has to save Chuanchuan!
A strong desire to survive is the best life-saving medicine. Ruan Qi gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain of the collapse of his sea of consciousness, and stood up by supporting himself on the ground.
"Chuanchuan, don't be afraid." She placed her trembling hands on the little boy's head and touched it gently.
Chuanchuan finally got a response from Ruan Qi, and immediately threw himself into her arms, bursting into tears.
"Boss, I'm scared! The fire is so big, are we going to die?"
Ruan Qi held him tightly in her arms.
"We won't die," she said. "Don't cry, Chuanchuan. Do you believe in the boss?"
Chuanchuan nodded while crying: "I believe it, I believe in the boss! The boss is super awesome!"
Ruan Qi smiled and cried.
Chuanchuan believed her.
If only those kids ten years ago had believed her.
As long as they hold on for three more days, just three more days, Nie Beilou and the police will come to rescue them.
Unfortunately, there is no if.
Ruan Qi knew they were in so much pain. Even living for one more second would be endless torture for them.
Ten years ago, little Ruan Qi was unable to save them.
Ten years later...
She would not let anyone else lose their life.
Ruan Qi wiped away her tears, with a paranoid persistence in her eyes.
She rubbed Chuanchuan's head and said to him, "I'll strap you to my body in a while, and we'll rush out of the fire together. I won't let you get hurt, Chuanchuan, don't be afraid, okay?"
"Okay!" Chuan Chuan's tear-red eyes were filled with the purest trust, "I believe in you, sir. I'm not afraid!"
Ruan Qi smiled with red eyes.
The fire became more fierce under the catalysis of strong wind.
Amidst the billowing smoke, the anxious calls of Mo Lan and the others could be heard intermittently. They were already trying to get closer, but the explosion near the small building was too severe, and they were unable to carry out a rescue in a short time.
Ruan Qi couldn't care less about Mo Lan and the others at this moment.
She took off her synthetic wetsuit and changed into the team uniform she had thrown on the ground. After changing her clothes, she put the sling she had used for the game on Chuan Chuan, picked him up, and tied him to her arms.
"Chuanchuan, the boss is about to charge, cover your eyes and don't look."
Chuanchuan immediately covered his eyes obediently.
"I don't watch it, I listen to the boss!"
"Okay." Ruan Qi laughed and rubbed the back of his head. "Count to one hundred in your mind. When you finish, we will be safe."
Chuanchuan immediately buried his head in her arms and began to count silently in his heart.
Ruan Qi patted his back, took a deep breath, and looked around.
The circular pool was engulfed in flames. Jiang Chu-nian must have added flammable materials like gasoline when assembling the bomb, causing the fire to spread so fiercely that it practically formed a wall of fire in all directions.
The stairs leading to the second floor had been burned, and the outer wall that had been climbed up was also destroyed in the explosion.
In this situation of being surrounded on all sides, there is only one way for Ruan Qi to escape -
Jump off a building.
It is a three-story building, more than 30 meters high.
If an adult of normal weight jumps down, he may die on the spot or suffer serious fractures.
What if this adult is holding a child weighing over 50 kilograms in his arms?
The consequences are unimaginable.
Even though Ruan Qi was an ancient warrior, she couldn't guarantee her own safety. But now, she had no other choice.
She must save Chuanchuan.
Ruan Qi took a deep breath and raised his hand to block the back of Chuanchuan's head, which was most vulnerable to injury.
Then she looked around and her eyes fell on the place where the fire was weakest.
Ruan Qi stared at that spot for a moment, then closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were filled with calmness and determination.
"Chuanchuan, take a deep breath!"
She yelled.
Chuanchuan immediately took a deep breath and held it.
The next second, he felt the sound of wind whistling in his ears, and the burning flames seemed to pass across his skin.
It wasn't a very long distance, but Chuanchuan had the illusion that he was walking through a hail of bullets.
The rubble swept up by the blast hit him from time to time, but most of the stones were blocked by Ruan Qi. Chuan Chuan hugged Ruan Qi's neck tightly, and suddenly, a sense of weightlessness swept over his body -
"Xiao Qi!!!"
Mo Lan's uncontrolled screams carried on the wind.
Chuanchuan hesitated for a moment and still did not count to one hundred as Ruan Qi said.
He secretly opened his eyes——
The raging fire was left behind.
Amidst the billowing smoke, Ruan Qi hugged him and jumped off the edge of the third floor!
"Xiao Qi!!!"
The whistling wind passed by his ears, making Chuanchuan unable to hear the shouts of others.
Perhaps the strong feeling of weightlessness made him feel uncomfortable, and Chuanchuan's face turned a little pale.
At this moment, a pair of hands gently covered his eyes.
"Don't be afraid, close your eyes."
Chuanchuan closed his eyes subconsciously.
The next second, he felt that his and Ruan Qi's positions seemed to be reversed in the air, and a hand gently protected his head.
Before Chuanchuan could figure out what was happening, suddenly—
Bang--!
The huge impact force made Chuanchuan tremble all over.
But he felt as if he had fallen on something soft and it didn't hurt at all.
"Xiao Qi!!!"
Mo Lan's terrified cry came from far away.
When Chuanchuan heard her footsteps, he immediately opened his eyes excitedly: "Big sister, we are rescued..."
Before he could finish his words, Chuan Chuan was frightened by the scene before him——
