Chapter 6: The Little Match Girl

As the image of the Burning Girl changed, the terrifying high temperature also disappeared without a trace. The Burning Girl in front of her seemed to be just a harmless little girl, even a little cute.

Wang Jin was stunned when he looked at the image of the burning girl. It wasn't that he had any idea that he should be imprisoned, but that he was shocked by the injuries on the girl's body.

"Doesn't it hurt?"

Wang Jin asked, pointing to the little girl's bare feet, which were bruised and red, obviously suffering from frostbite.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, but it's so cold."

The little girl seemed to be thinking, and then took out a match and prepared to light it.

"No, no, no, ancestor, please stop rowing."

Wang Jin quickly stopped the little girl's hand, took off his insulating suit and put it on her body.

"Is this better?"

"Um."

"You have to promise me not to strike matches again, or I won't take you to see grandma."

Wang Jin took off his oxygen mask and smiled gently at the little girl.

"good."

The little girl nodded obediently. If there hadn't been a faint burning smell coming from her body, anyone who looked at her would have thought she was an ordinary little foreign girl.

"Let's go, I'll take you to find grandma."

Wang Jin stretched out his hand to the little girl. The little girl hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her little hand to hold Wang Jin.

So, in the purgatory-like sea of ​​fire, Wang Jin took the little girl and walked forward step by step.

"What's your name?"

"Annie."

"Annie, what a good name. My name is Wang Jin."

"Wang...Jin..."

Annie stepped on the charred ground with her bare feet, raising her head to look at Wang Jin from time to time.

"grandmother?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely take you to find grandma."

Wang Jin held Annie's little hand and showed a gentle smile.

"Grandma, why did it become like this?"

Wang Jin was a little broken at this moment. He had no doubt that if this child named Annie found out that he was lying to her, he could burn the entire C-area to nothing with just a little finger.

But this was the only way to temporarily stabilize her, and Wang Jin was confident of protecting himself.

Wang Jin tried his best to slow down his pace so that he could have more time to think about how to send Annie back while minimizing the loss.

"Hungry."

Annie tugged Wang Jin's hand, her beautiful big eyes flashing.

"Are you hungry? Then I'll take you to eat roast goose. After that, we can go find grandma, okay?"

Wang Jin's eyes lit up when he saw that things were turning around.

"Um."

The two of them had walked out of Area C unknowingly. What surprised Wang Jin was that Area C was not blocked, and not even the person in charge showed up.

Someone was watching in the distance, it was the woman named Bai.

When she saw Wang Jinhou, she immediately came up to her.

"You're alive! Has it been solved? Huh? She is?"

"Well...it's settled now."

Wang Jin pointed at the little girl and then whispered.

"Her name is Anne, the Burning Daughter."

"Ah...ah?"

The woman surnamed Bai didn't seem to react and kept saying "Ah" several times.

"I want to take her to dinner."

Wang Jin didn't wait for the woman surnamed Bai's response. He took Annie's hand and walked straight to the elevator where he had just come down.

"etc!"

The woman surnamed Bai quickly came up and stopped Wang Jin after being stunned for a short time.

"You're taking her out? Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Once she breaks out in the urban area, do you know how many people will die?"

"There is also mental pollution. Do you know how many people will go crazy just by taking her out for a walk?"

"You're just a new guy from the tuning department. Are you talking in your sleep? Who can bear this responsibility?"

The woman's beautiful face was a little distorted, she roared hysterically, and spikes gradually grew on her hands.

Wang Jin did not respond, but stretched out his other hand to hold the woman's shoulder.

"She is in pain, and you are also in a weird mood. You should understand similar feelings, right?"

The woman who was about to stop Wang Jin was stunned at first, then her expression changed rapidly, and finally settled on shock.

"She wanted to eat, so I took her to eat. Today's tragedy should not have happened."

Wang Jin withdrew his hand from the woman, turned around and took Annie into the elevator.

"Don't worry, the pollution won't spread as long as I'm around her."

The elevator started and creaked as it rose.

"He...he just kidnapped C-level monsters like that?"

Hu Xiaobei jumped out of the fish tank and stared blankly at the running elevator.

"The above means, and we can't stop him."

Bai He stared blankly at his right hand, which should have been covered with spikes. At this moment, the hand was as white as jade and was trembling slightly.

"Experimental Department, have you observed it?"

Bai He took out his walkie-talkie and gestured in the direction of Area C.

——

"Hey, it's suddenly warm."

Zhao Guangming put the hot water on the coffee table, stood up and twisted his neck.

"This kid is so ruthless, he even gave me cervical spondylosis, eh...?"

Zhao Guangming looked at Wang Jin coming out of the elevator and rubbed his eyes.

"Damn it! Who is this little girl?"

Zhao Guangming kicked open the door and ran to Wang Jin like flying.

"you you you..."

Zhao Guangming pointed to Wang Jin's watch, which was making a rapid beeping sound.

"This is called a Geiger counter. When it goes off, it means there is something terrible nearby, something extraordinary! Do you understand what I mean? We don't want to take out strange people in this company?"

Zhao Guangming winked and signaled to Wang Jin.

"Old Zhao, calm down, calm down."

Wang Jin quickly gestured to Zhao Guangming to calm down.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Annie."

"ha?"

"c-05-96, Burning Daughter, Anne."

"Don't introduce Kaitan in the same tone as introducing your cousin!"

The corners of Zhao Guangming's mouth twitched, as if he was very angry.

"Do you know what you are doing? Are you hiding yourself like this?"

Zhao Guangming's momentum suddenly became fierce.

"I don't know how it ended up like this, but I promised to take her to dinner."

Wang Jin smiled helplessly.

"Eating? You want to go to dinner with a C-level ghost story?"

Zhao Guangming stared hard into Wang Jin's eyes. This man's aura felt like it was about to soar into the sky at this moment, making people breathless.

"Hey, where did you get the money?"

Zhao Guangming sighed, his fierce momentum suddenly disappeared without a trace, and then he began to think casually.

"Well, you have to bring more money when taking a girl to eat. Be careful of cars when crossing the road. Wear more clothes. It's quite cold outside. How can you let the little girl go barefoot? Buy some clothes for her."

"Eh?"

Wang Jin blankly took the banknotes and coat from Zhao Guangming, then looked at Zhao Guangming who kept waving behind him, and showed a helpless smile.

Wang Jin pulled Annie out of the Ping An Building from the underground garage.

——

"Won't you stop him?"

Zhang Yi looked at the backs of Wang Jin and Annie and said to Zhao Guangming.

"Don't worry, he can do what his father can do. It's just a pity for my wallet. I wonder if the boss can reimburse me."

——

In the biting cold wind, two figures, one large and one small, walked slowly.

"cold."

"Hold on."

Wang Jin stopped Annie's little hand that was trying to strike the match secretly, and put his coat on Annie's.

Annie is now wrapped in flame-retardant clothing, Zhao Guangming's coat, and Wang Jin's coat. Her movements are a bit slow, but she still keeps complaining about the cold.

Wang Jin probably guessed Anne's prototype.

"The Little Match Girl".

The poor girl was first beaten and abused, and finally froze to death on New Year's Eve. Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that she would always feel cold.

"Is it possible to feel less uncomfortable only with the short-term warmth brought by matches?"

Wang Jin looked at Annie with a bit of unbearable eyes.

"Come on, I'll carry you."

Looking at Annie's naked little feet in the snow, Wang Jin squatted down slightly and extended an invitation to Annie.

Annie hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. Her little body wrapped in a rice dumpling tried hard to climb onto Wang Jin's back.
