Wu Quan came back to his senses, climbed up from the rubble like crazy, and went to rescue other people in the small dormitory.
Finally, when the thin Wu Quan gritted his teeth and carried the heavy old Liu to the open space, he was already exhausted and sweating profusely. He had no time to rest and quickly checked the vital signs of other children.
There were four children in the fire scene, two were ten years old, one was three years old, and one was four years old.
Of these four children, two lived and two died.
Strangely, the older Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng did not survive the disaster, and the only ones who survived were the three- and four-year-old children.
Wu Quan opened the mouths of Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng. Their mouths and noses were filled with smoke and dust. He had seen this kind of death when he was in the begging gang. They were choked to death by the thick smoke in the fire.
Wu Quan then glanced at the faces of the two surviving children, and each of their faces was covered with a wet towel.
Children of this age will not understand this kind of knowledge. If Wu Quan guessed correctly, this should have been done by Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng out of desperation after the fire. At a time when life and death were on the line, they still chose to give priority to protecting their younger siblings.
life safety.
Old Man Liu probably rushed into the small dormitory after the fire broke out. He inhaled the least smoke, so he survived, but fell into a coma temporarily.
Ashes were dancing in the sky over the dim courtyard. Wu Quan looked silently at the bodies of Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng, as well as the unconscious Shen Qingzhu and Old Man Liu, clenching his fists.
In his mind, the scene where Shen Qingzhu fought for his life with Huolian, as well as the hoarse and hopeful words at the end, appeared in his mind.
But in the end, Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng were still dead...
He could already imagine what Shen Qingzhu's expression would be like when he saw their two bodies after waking up.
Wu Quan knows his Qingzhu brother too well. He will definitely hate why he failed to extinguish the flame earlier and why he failed to rush home in time. He will stubbornly take everything on himself and live in an endless world from now on.
of self-blame and regret.
Thinking of this, the eyes of this eleven-year-old child showed deep sadness and guilt.
He wanted to disappoint Shen Qingzhu.
"It would be great if... you could survive."
Wu Quan hugged his knees and squatted helplessly on the ground, looking at the two corpses and muttering to himself.
Plop——!
A soft sound came from the chests of Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng.
Wu Quan was stunned.
As if he noticed something, he lowered his head and looked at his hands, a faint halo appeared in his eyes.
Can I... control them?
The idea suddenly appeared in his mind.
Wu Quan stretched out his hand tentatively and waved lightly at the two corpses. The two stagnant hearts actually started beating again under the power of [The Dominant Emperor]!
The heart began to beat, and blood flowed rapidly inside the corpses. The darkness in Wu Quan's eyes became thicker and darker, and his control over the two corpses became more and more precise.
Wu Quan stood up slowly, waving his hands in the air like a musician conducting the corpses. The two already cold corpses actually began to glow with life.
This is not corpse manipulation, but under the condition of controlling all their organs, making this "dead" body come back to life. Their heartbeat, pulse, and blood pressure are all gradually approaching those of normal people under his control.
level.
The only drawback is that no matter how close these two bodies are to normal people, their spirits and consciousness are already dead. They are just two "living corpses."
Their eyes were still empty and dead.
However, these things can all be changed through some small organs.
Under Wu Quan's control, their empty eyes began to glow, and their facial muscles continued to twitch, as if they were controlling different expressions.
A few minutes later, Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng came to life completely and stood quietly in front of him.
Wu Quan's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Ah...oh...you...Wu, Wuquan...I am Li Xiao...yan..."
"I'm not... hurt... I'm fine."
"Brother Qingzhu... don't worry."
"Wuquan, it's time to eat!"
"What did you call him for? He is just a piece of wood. If he wants to be alone, just leave him alone."
Wu Quan controlled the mouths of the two people to open and close, and their vocal cords to tremble. After every attempt, their words and actions became more and more close to daily life, and in the end, there was no difference at all.
Wu Quan breathed a long sigh of relief, and his eyes fell on the unconscious Shen Qingzhu. After a moment, an innocent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Brother Qingzhu." He murmured to himself,
"You saved everyone..."
…
Lin Qiye suddenly opened his eyes!
At the same time, Wu Quan, who was sitting next to him, also opened his eyes.
[Memory Worm] quickly retracted into the darkness behind Wuquan, and the two just stared at each other, falling into silence.
"That's it, that's it..." Lin Qiye connected everything in his mind and suddenly realized,
"Were Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng controlled by you from the beginning?
Your [Domination Emperor] can only take effect within three kilometers, so even if you go to school, you can only go to the middle school closest to the orphanage. Once you leave that range, Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng in the orphanage will immediately turn into corpses.
, scared Dean Liu and other children...
No wonder you would rather kill everyone in the Li family than move. No wonder your first request after I caught you was to see Dean Liu.
Only by driving Director Liu away from the orphanage can Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng leave there, keeping a safe distance from you secretly to prevent them from losing control and turning back into corpses..."
Lin Qiye looked at Wuquan with complicated eyes,
"So...for the past four years, you have been playing the identities of three people?"
"This is not a difficult task." Wu Quan said slowly, "Although it was a little difficult at the beginning and I would often lose contact with them, the further you go, the easier it becomes."
Wu Quan looked down at his hands, as if he was still digesting the memory he saw in Lin Qiye's mind, and his expression was a little dazed.
What Lin Qiye intercepted for him was the memory fragment from when he found Shen Qingzhu in hell to when everyone left. But even such a short fragment had a huge impact on Wu Quan.
Wu Quan closed his eyes, lay on his back on the leather sofa, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled...
His body, which had been tense until now, finally relaxed completely, and a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Brother Qingzhu will definitely come back if he is not dead... Sooner or later, they will meet each other one day.
Knowing this, even if you are locked up in a dark prison, it is worth it.
