After listening to these words, Lin Qiye's mind automatically imagined the scene of teenage Shen Qingzhu, naked and bathed in blood, walking down the mountain.
As expected of Brother Drag... Lin Qiye sighed with emotion.
"This child, Koizumi, has lost the love of his parents since he was a child and grew up in an inhuman environment. It is inevitable that he will become mentally distorted and sick...
What you see now is much better. When Mr. Shen first brought him back, he was either motionless like a piece of wood, or yelling like a madman, and even tried to commit suicide twice.
The children of Xiao Yan Qian Cheng were all frightened at the time and did not dare to approach him at all. Only Mr. Shen kept him by his side and guided him step by step back to the life of a normal child."
Old Man Liu glanced at the open iron door and sighed:
"For Xiaoquan, Brother Qingzhu is everything to him..."
"That's it." Lin Qiye nodded.
He seemed to have thought of something and asked again:
"By the way, Dean Liu, can you tell me more about the fire four years ago?"
"Fire?" Old Man Liu was stunned, "Why do you ask this?"
"I just suddenly remembered that I heard Shen Qingzhu mention this matter before, and it seemed to have left some psychological shadow on him... I want to confirm it and see if there is anything I can do to help." Lin Qiye made it up casually. An excuse.
"Psychological shadow? Does that kid still have such a thing?" Old Man Liu was confused for a while, and then said,
"I don't remember much about the fire... I just remember that day, I was sleeping in my room, and suddenly a fire broke out outside, completely surrounding the children's small dormitory.
I was so frightened at the time that I didn't even wear any shoes. I got wet and ran straight into the fire. But as soon as I rushed in, the collapsed beams blocked the door, trapping me and the children inside.
The smoke in the fire was so strong that the children fainted after crying for a while. Just when I was about to suffocate, I heard Xiaoquan's cry and Shen Xiaozi's roar outside, and I knew they were back. Already...
Later, I felt the air tightening, and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was in the hospital bed.
It is said that Mr. Shen carried us out one by one."
Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, "What was the cause of the fire? What was it?"
"I'm also very surprised about this... The fire broke out in a small dormitory, but there was no combustible material there at all. The experts also came to see it, but they didn't come to any conclusion.
Fortunately, there were no casualties, otherwise this matter would have been serious." A look of fear appeared on Old Liu's face.
"Then at that time, did you see anything strange? For example... monsters?"
"Monster?" Old Man Liu shook his head one after another, "I didn't see that kind of thing."
"……I see."
Lin Qiye nodded and fell into deep thought.
Judging from the fact that the cause of the fire is unknown, it is indeed possible that the fire was caused by a "mysterious" arrival, and the sudden suffocation that Old Man Liu mentioned should be Shen Qingzhu's [Qi Min], but he didn't know who he was at the time. I have just awakened the Forbidden Ruins, but I have been awakening for some time.
Before coming, Lin Qiye also asked Shi Wenxuan to check the night watchman files in Linjiang City. The last suspected "mysterious" case was the fire case in the orphanage. However, because the "mysterious" entity was not seen, there was no There were casualties, so it was only classified as a "suspected case."
In other words... after the fire, there was no "mystery" in Linjiang City again?
It's a pity that Shen Qingzhu is not here, otherwise just ask him what happened at that time and you would know everything.
etc.
Besides Shen Qingzhu, wasn't there Wu Quan who was present at that time?
If you can ask him, you might be able to find some other clues.
Lin Qiye pretended to go around the house and took away the "left behind" things. When he was about to leave, Old Man Liu grabbed him.
Seeing Old Man Liu's hesitant expression, Lin Qiye asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Young man, tell me honestly..." Old Man Liu hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Did Mr. Shen... have an accident?"
Lin Qiye was stunned.
"No." Lin Qiye shook his head decisively, "Dean Liu, don't worry blindly, he is really fine."
Looking at Lin Qiye's firm eyes, the suspicion in Old Man Liu's heart subsided a little. He nodded, "Okay... I understand. You ask him to send a letter to his family after he returns from his secret mission... so that we can I can feel more at ease."
"I will tell him when he comes back."
Lin Qiye said goodbye to Old Man Liu, turned around and walked towards the alley.
He held an umbrella and walked in the rain while thinking about the context of the whole thing.
So far, no matter whether it is the extermination of the Li family or the strange phenomenon of "mystery" in Linjiang City, there has been no substantial progress. Next, we can only place our hope on finding the "mystery" that can fly. on body...
At this moment, Lin Qiye seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped.
At this moment, he had left the orphanage and reached a crossroads in the lane.
The heavy rain pours from the sky. Looking around with the naked eye, it is difficult to see the scene in the distance except for the mist of water vapor... In the silent alley, only the endless sound of rain is left.
Lin Qiye glanced around and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This is……"
He held an umbrella with his left hand, and a flash of magic light flashed through his empty right hand. The next moment, a snow-white long knife was held in his palm.
Boom——!!!
A black figure fell from the sky like a meteor and accurately hit the ground in front of Lin Qiye!
It was a giant with bat wings, with only three fingers on its feet. It held two bloody machetes in its left and right hands, and a red flame danced above a pair of red curved horns on its head.
It raised the bloody machete in its hand high and slammed the back of the blade into Lin Qiye's body!
Lin Qiye raised his umbrella slightly, and his eyes calmly swept over the top of his head through the rain. A flash of snow-white sword light flashed past, and the [Zhanbai] blade firmly held the two machetes!
The circular air wave generated by the collision of forces instantly rolled back the rainwater in the surrounding air.
"The 'mystery' that wiped out the entire Li family...you actually came to the door?"
Lin Qiye snorted coldly and swung his sword to repel the giant's body. His figure was like a rock in the rain, standing still.
The "mysterious" creature in front of him only had the "infinite" realm, and was completely vulnerable to Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye was about to chop off its head with a knife, but the spiritual power that spread out seemed to have discovered something, and he suddenly turned his head and looked around.
I saw black shadows approaching from all directions in the intersecting lanes from the rain.
Lin Qiye frowned and cursed secretly:
"Damn it...who said there is no 'mystery' in Linjiang City?"
