Wu Xiaode looked at the balance display on the phone screen and couldn't help but lament.
This is the money I saved for a whole semester!
But having said that, I hope the commission on the wall is completed.
He also survived safely and obtained the inheritance of Iron Line Fist Technique.
Be content.
Now it's time to go home and take a rest, think about how to get some living expenses, and think about what to do in the next few days to make yourself stronger.
After all, half a day has passed.
In six and a half days, he will be transported to the Death Cave again.
As Wu Xiaode walked, he looked at the black book floating in front of him.
A question suddenly arose in his mind.
Since that ancestral spirit is so powerful, why didn't he save Zhao Junyu himself instead of entrusting it to me?
Seems to know what he is thinking——
New ice crystal letters appeared on the Book of the Dead:
"Neither the undead nor the heroic spirits can communicate with living people. Only extremely rare professional abilities can communicate with them, such as this book."
"In addition, no spirit can interfere with the fate of the real world. Only with the help of certain professional abilities or props can they realize many things."
I see.
Wu Xiaode turned the corner, suddenly felt something in his heart, and slowly raised his head.
ahead.
Above the family members of the old community, thick smoke billowed and flames shot into the sky.
Almost at the same moment, the mobile phone in my pocket vibrated and beeped.
He took it out and looked at it, and immediately connected it.
"Sister Lan, where are you?" he asked nervously.
The sound of sobbing came from the phone, followed by Xia Huilan's voice:
"Xiao Wu, run quickly, don't come back!"
Wu Xiaode's expression changed and he quickly said: "Sister Lan? What's wrong with you? What happened?"
beep--
The phone was hung up.
Immediately afterwards, a message appeared on the phone screen:
"A large-scale fire broke out in the old district No. 361 in the south of the city."
Isn't that your home?
Xia Huilan is trapped upstairs?
Wu Xiaode ran out like lightning. In just a few breaths, he crossed the long street, climbed over the courtyard wall, and came to the downstairs of his family.
Looking up, the flames were engulfing the entire building.
Xia Huilan lives on the fifth floor.
The location of the fire was on the ninth floor. Although the fire was spreading, it was still some distance from the fifth floor where Xia Huilan lived.
"fine……"
Wu Xiaode murmured and rushed directly into the corridor of the unit building.
His body is extremely light and his feet are full of strength. He can jump up an entire flight of stairs with just one push.
In almost less than a minute, he arrived at the fifth floor.
Bang——
Wu Xiaode kicked the door open and looked inside.
"Sister Lan!"
He shouted loudly.
No response.
I saw that the numerous awards Xia Huilan had received since she was a child were posted on the wall. They had been blackened by smoke and looked ruined.
This is her treasure, and now she doesn't care.
Wu Xiaode rushed into the entrance hall and shouted: "Sister Lan, where are you?"
In the living room.
A woman was tied to a chair with her head hanging down, as if she was in a coma.
Blood flowed down her arm.
——After a while, the fire spread and she would have no way to survive.
"Sister Lan!"
Wu Xiaode rushed forward, hurriedly trying to save the woman, but suddenly realized something was wrong.
He knelt down and took a closer look at the woman's face.
——Not Xia Huilan!
Wu Xiaode was startled, then reached out to feel the woman's pulse.
No pulse.
She is dead.
Why did a strange woman die in Xia Huilan's home?
And the fire is about to burn down!
Wu Xiaode suddenly remembered many things.
Xia Huilan said she wanted to resign.
She was entangled by a few gangsters, and those gangsters in a remote area even brought knives.
That USB drive.
And her last words of advice.
Scenes of scenes flashed through his mind, and Wu Xiaode suddenly realized something.
Maybe this fire is not simple.
There was a sudden noise at the door.
Wu Xiaode turned around quickly and saw a man standing at the door, looking at him jokingly.
"Should I say you are stupid, or that you are quite infatuated?" the man said.
He was wearing a floral shirt, and the fruit knife in his hand had turned into a half-arm-long machete. He was looking at Wu Xiaode with his head tilted.
That gangster boss!
Wu Xiaode stood up and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Why do you appear here?"
"You brat, you made me look embarrassed during the day," the gangster said.
"Make a fool of yourself? Why do I remember that you wanted to stab me with that fruit knife?" Wu Xiaode said.
"Boy, you relied on your meat cleaver and fish cutter to force me to retreat——"
The gangster waved his sharp machete and said proudly: "Look, this is not a fruit knife. This time I want to regain my place."
As soon as his body sank, he rushed towards Wu Xiaode.
Wu Xiaode took out something from his back and pointed it at the gangster.
The gangster glanced at it and said, "Gun!"
This is a narrow indoor environment, and it is almost impossible to escape from the gunpoint.
This is a gun. Why does he have a gun?
The gangster's expression changed, he waved the machete and shouted sternly: "Come on, if you have the guts, take out the knife and let me see who is stronger!"
Bang——
Wu Xiaode pulled the trigger.
A bullet flew past the gangster's side and hit the wall.
The gangster froze.
Wu Xiaode pointed the barrel of his gun at the ground.
The gangster obediently put down the machete, raised his hands, and knelt on the ground.
"Brother, spare my life." He begged.
Wu Xiaode asked: "Why are you here?"
"Little brother, I lost when I played against you in the afternoon. I even turned around and ran away in front of my brothers. This made everyone no longer obey me. I wanted to spar with you again, and I happened to see you coming upstairs, so
Follow me."
The gangster's head was covered in cold sweat, and his voice was trembling when he spoke.
Wu Xiaode thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, if you really want to take revenge, the worst thing you can do is wait downstairs. Wouldn't it be better if I was burned to death?"
"This building is already on fire. Human instinct is to seek good fortune and avoid harm. You will run away when you see my fish-cutting knife, let alone such a big fire?"
"You have to go upstairs and fight me even at the risk of being burned, unless there is any benefit in doing so."
"What's the benefit?"
Wu Xiaode paused.
There was billowing smoke outside the window.
The temperature starts to rise.
The fire has come over.
Wu Xiaode frowned and said: "The advantage of fighting here is the fire."
He looked back at the strange woman's body.
"If I die in the sea of fire, and all my bones and flesh are completely burned by the fire, naturally no one will know how I died."
"in other words--"
"You actually came to kill me."
The gangster was shocked, with an incredible look on his face.
Wu Xiaode walked up to him and put a gun to his head, saying in a cold voice: "Am I right?"
"I……"
The gangster slurped his lips twice, suddenly turned his head to the side of the gun, took out the fruit knife from his arms, and stabbed Wu Xiaode in the chest.
His movements were crisp and fast, just like a professional fighter.
If it were in the past, Wu Xiaode might not be able to react, but now——
Snap!
With a crisp sound, the dagger in the gangster's hand was knocked away.
Wu Xiaode punched the gangster with his backhand, sending the gangster flying and hitting the wall, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
"When we were in the alley, it was just a fight, but you stabbed me with a knife. I felt something was wrong at the time, and now you show up here again - are you waiting for me to come back so you can kill me?"
Wu Xiaode's eyes were full of anger.
He grabbed the gangster's neck, pushed him to the ground, and shouted: "What on earth is going on? Why do you have to kill me?"
The gangster just panted but didn't speak.
Wu Xiaode nodded silently, dragged the gangster into the room, pulled off the sheets on the bed, and tied the gangster to a chair.
With a gentle lift with one hand, he lifted the gangster and the chair, put them back into the living room, and placed them opposite the female corpse.
Thick smoke seeped into the room, and the fire became more and more intense.
The surging blood light penetrated the glass window, mixed with the noisy shouts and shouts outside, and reflected on Wu Xiaode's expressionless face.
"You want to kill me, but you don't tell me why - it doesn't matter, I just have to leave you here."
After Wu Xiaode finished speaking, he tied the gangster's hands, feet and body to the chair.
When he finished all this, he walked outside without looking back.
The gangster looked at the female corpse opposite him and struggled a few times with his hands and feet, but found that he was completely unable to break free from the restraints of the chair.
The temperature is scorching.???.
The gangster felt like he was soaked in water, and the sweat all over his body couldn't stop flowing down.
"Wait a minute, I can tell you!" The gangster couldn't help shouting.
"Say." Wu Xiaode said without looking back.
"We don't know what happened to Xia Huilan. We accepted the reward and came to kill you." The gangster said.
(Thanks to the leaders of the two bosses, Dawn y Chenxi and Big Pineapple and Little Apple, for the rewards. The bosses are so generous!)
