Chapter 117: Fire Awakener

Next.

In the courtyard behind the building, a strong man with five big and three thick faces, after seeing the big pit on the ground and the broken tree roots, his face was slightly gloomy, and he quickly looked at the grass and trees in the yard, and there was a raging anger burning in his heart.

Tracked.

The secret was discovered.

Someone is going to destroy the ghost tree.

Yesterday, it was the last night that was followed.

Suddenly, the strong man seemed to think of something, quickly cleaned up the place, and then immediately returned to the corridor and went upstairs.

Soon, I came to a house.

There was a knock on the door.

"Click!"

The door opened.

"You went out last night?"

"What went out? I was in the house last night, what's wrong, what's going on in the apartment?"

"Nope. โ€

Then, the strong man left the place.

It was Ding Jie who opened the door just now.

Leaving the third floor, the strong man returned to his room.

Then, a WeChat group was opened.

In the group, there were only four people.

He simply said, "We may have been discovered, go downstairs and look at the locust trees." โ€

The group was very soon, and there was a recovery of new messages.

There was a lot of conversation, and the last message was very conspicuous, only four words.

"Tomorrow night action. โ€

```

```

Room 302.

At this time, Ding Jie was teaching the little skeleton to learn to write.

After a few days of hard work, the little skeleton has made great progress and learned thirty words.

At least you can write a sentence on paper, Ding Jie, you are not a good person.

This sentence was written by the little skeleton this morning.

When he saw this, Ding Jie's face was ugly, and he realized that teaching the little skeleton to learn to write might be a wrong decision.

But if it's wrong, it's wrong.

Keep it up.

So, Ding Jie 'strengthened' the little skeleton's learning task.

'Transcription'.

As the saying goes, a good memory is better than a bad pen.

Therefore, let the little skeleton copy all the Chinese characters on the first 100 pages of the Xinhua dictionary a hundred times.

Well, that's how nice.

After giving the task, Ding Jie began to check the news on the Internet.

The first one to check is the 'Big Tree Apartment'.

After those experiences last night, Ding Jie felt that the hidden feelings in the big tree apartment were not as simple as they seemed to be.

We must understand all the fires of that year before we talk about them.

Ghost tree, little girl in red, speaking of which there are a lot of ghosts in this apartment.

Tonight, perhaps, is the time to wrap up.

This morning, those 'little monsters' will surely be disturbed by the movement under the ghost tree.

It is expected that they will be doing something soon, maybe this evening.

When the time comes, you just need to catch them all.

Lying on the ground.

Then, a sudden sneak attack.

This is what Ding Jie likes the most.

However, before this time, Ding Jie still wanted to know about the fire that year.

Then, all morning, he spent the whole morning in his room looking for information.

online news, and some reports.

The fire happened a few years ago, and the time span is not very large, and it took no effort to find some useful information.

It turned out that the fire that year broke out suddenly, and it was very weird, because the fire only burned down the house where the landlord's family of three lived, and did not spread.

Later, the police judged that it was a very abrupt 'fire'.

Without a hint of warning.

In other words, the police did not find the source of the ignition.

It was as if the fire had come suddenly.

It is also very suspicious that the police said in the news report that the fire was deliberately set on fire, and all three members of the 'landlord' who lived in the room were burned to death.

At that time, the police also summoned the residents who lived here at the time, but nothing was found, and the killer was not found.

So it was characterized as a case of fire and burning.

Later, because of this 'apartment', the landlord's family of three died, and then the ownership of the apartment belonged to the 'old man' alone.

All these years, it was the 'old man' who ran the apartment alone.

The old man was the father of the deceased landlord.

"Could it be that the little girl who appeared last night is the girl who died in the fire that year?"

"Quite possibly. โ€

"But what happened to save her grandfather?"

Suddenly, Ding Jie noticed something.

That's the photos of the residents who were interrogated by the police that year.

On the Internet, there happened to be a news report in which photos of the interrogated residents were taken.

Three of them are familiar.

Becauseยทยท These people still live here.

When he knocked on the door yesterday, he saw these people.

One of the strong men was the one who carried the sack last night.

The other woman is the one who collects money in the office on the first floor.

How did they start to have the right to manage their apartments?

Very suspicious.

There must be something hidden in this.

It seems that we still have to go to the 'old man's room to have a look.

Act tonight.

```

```

Afternoon.

The overseer goes.

I didn't go in the morning, but it was about to be finished in the afternoon, so I should have gone for it.

After a simple tidying up, Ding Jie left the apartment and returned home.

At this time, the dwarf was installing the 'partition'.

Most of the decoration is finished, and there is some finishing work left, which I have to say is very fast.

Seeing Ding Jielai, the dwarf just nodded, but did not stop what he was doing, but continued to be busy.

"Bell, bell!"

"Bell, bell!"

Hammer.

That little hammer is really easy to use.

When the dwarf was installing the planks, he only struck them a few times with a small hammer, and the planks seemed to be frozen.

It was installed immediately.

"Boss, what kind of material is your plank, and why does it have a faint fragrance?"

"Pine, this material is strong and durable. โ€

"Oh. โ€

In this regard, Ding Jie just nodded and did not say anything.

"This... How can there be a little hole in here?"

"Oh. Mr. Ding, the small hole here in your house is for transparency, and now I am just making a model, and I will fill this small hole in the later stage. โ€

I didn't understand, but I didn't feel like there was any problem, so I didn't ask any more.

It's almost four o'clock, the renovation project is all finished, and the dwarf is still painting on the newly installed wooden wall.

It is said to be insect-proof, moisture-proof, waterproof, and beautiful.

Wait for the painting to finish, and the whole wall is complete.

After checking several times, Ding Jie felt quite satisfied, the wall was wooden, but it didn't look abrupt at all, and the sound insulation effect was good.

Because of this wall, the former living room was divided in two.

Although the living room has become smaller, there is an extra room, although it is not big, but there is still room for a bed and a cabinet.

It is suitable for small skeletons to live.

With the last inspection, Ding Jie settled the payment with the dwarf in person.

It's a total of 5,300 dollars.

After collecting the money, the dwarf took a deep look at Ding Jie, and then instructed that he couldn't live in tonight, so he drove the small pickup truck away.

After waiting for the dwarf to leave, Ding Jie was a little uneasy, and checked the wall a few more times to make sure that there was nothing abnormal, and began to clean up in the house.

After all, it has just been renovated, and chaos in the house is inevitable.

It took him more than three hours to clean up the house.

After looking at the room with satisfaction, he locked the door and went downstairs.

Go to the apartment.

"Click!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, there was a woman who pushed the door open.

It's Zhou Youwei.

The next-door neighbor, the one who died of her husband.

"Sister Zhou, I haven't seen you for a long time, your complexion has changed a lot, what's the matter, are you going out?" Ding Jie stopped, glanced at the young Northeast woman, and asked.

At this time, Zhou Youwei's complexion was not very good, her face was a little pale, very haggard, and the dark circles under her eyes were a little serious, which was like two people before.

Perhaps, it was because her husband died and she missed her too much that she became like this.

Speaking of which, he and her husband are really a pair of enemies.

When her husband was alive, the two fought every day, and now that his husband is dead, he is emaciated like this.

"Xiaoding, are you back? I really haven't seen you for a few days, I... I'm out running errands. Zhou Youwei's expression was a little flustered, she just hurriedly said hello to Ding Jie, left here, and went downstairs.

In this regard, Ding Jie didn't think much about it.

I just feel that Zhou Youwei is a little pitiful.

killed her husband, and was almost killed by ghosts.

Perhaps it is for this reason that she has become like this.

Thinking about it, Ding Jie went downstairs and went straight towards the 'Big Tree Apartment'.

But as she walked, Ding Jie noticed that something was wrong.

Because... Walking in front of him is none other than 'Zhou Youwei'.

The direction she went seemed to be 'Big Tree Apartment'.

Not long after, waiting to come to the door of the 'Big Tree Apartment', he saw Zhou Youwei walking into the 'Big Tree Apartment' with a somewhat flustered expression.

What is she doing here?

It stands to reason that she doesn't live at home, and she comes here to live... The logic simply doesn't hold water.

Unless, she's here for some purpose.

In this regard, Ding Jie just silently recorded in her heart, and did not mean to come forward to say hello.

After a while, Ding Jie walked into the big tree apartment, and then quickly came to the room.

Along the way, I didn't meet Zhou Youwei.

When he entered the building, he also deliberately glanced into the office on the first floor, but did not find Zhou Youwei's figure.

Could it be that Zhou Youwei has rented a house here?

But when I knocked on the door yesterday, I didn't see her.

That's right.

Three families did not open their doors.

Yesterday, I just looked at one household, and I was interrupted by a sudden voice.

Could it be that Zhou Youwei is one of the other two households.

```

```

Regarding the purpose of Zhou Youwei's coming here, Ding Jie couldn't guess.

But it doesn't matter anymore, we're in the early hours of this evening.

He killed the ghost tree on time.

Then, hunt down the mobs.

He felt that after yesterday's grass and snake startling, the little monster would definitely go out in the whole nest.

When the time comes, it will be the time to close the net.

There is also a new merit tension.

This tastes really good.

At night.

Twelve o'clock in the morning.

Change your clothes on time.

The uniform of the "Eighth Route Army".

Then, Ding Jie went out.

On the side of the ghost tree, don't be in a hurry to go first.

Go touch the door first.

The first one to touch.

That is, the 'old man's room'.

Running the 'Pure Yang True Qi', Ding Jie immediately came to the door of the 'old man's room.

The door is locked.

Ghost Knife!

Swipe gently.

Suddenly, the lock was cut off, and then gently pushed.

The door opened.

'Flame'.

Pure Yang True Fire is ignited!

Then, as soon as the light came on, Ding Jie began to quickly inspect the room.

It's dark.

At the same time, it is accompanied by a foul smell.

There was a lot of moldy food and dirty clothes piled up in the room.

In bed, it is the source of the stench.

Because... There was a corpse on the bed.

It was a stinking corpse.

The corpse has decomposed and should have been dead for a long time.

It was an old man, and from the rotten face, it was difficult to see that the old man should be in his seventies.

He must be the current landlord, the old man.

He's dead!

Dead in the room.

But there was no one to collect the body.

No wonder the little girl in red said that he should save her grandfather.

It turns out that...

He was 'imprisoned' to death.

Because the windows of the room were all closed and dead, the old man's limbs were bound to give birth to a child.

The body is fixed to the bed.

The strangulation marks on the wrists and ankles of the corpse were exposed to white bones, and it was thought that it had been tied up for a long time.

Perhaps, this old man has been imprisoned like this all along.

Suddenly, in the darkness, a hand poked out from behind Ding Jie's back.

It's abrupt.

"Golden bell jar!"

The next second.

Open the bell jar directly.

Suddenly, the five-layer protective cover was fully opened.

The golden light shines and the yang energy explodes.

Along with it, there is also a raging flame.

Boom!

It was like the sound of metal colliding.

The first protective shield was shattered.

But, soon a scream came.

"Hands. My hand. โ€

"Flames?"

"Bastard. โ€

"It's not just you who have fire. Lao Tzu has the same. โ€

Suddenly, bursts of pale green flames burned in the room.

Soon, the pale green flames burned brightly, forming a huge fireball.

Fire Awakened?

At this time, at the door of the room, there stood a figure with a pale green flame all over his body.

He was the one who attacked Ding Jie just now.

On his hands, bursts of golden flames burned.

It is the pure yang true fire.

But at this time, this burning pure yang true fire was suppressed by the pale green flame.

"Who are you?"

The pale green flame man looked at Ding Jie vigilantly and asked in a deep voice.

At this time, Ding Jie was wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army and wearing a mask, even if he knew him, he would not be recognized.

The flame man didn't recognize Ding Jie, but Ding Jie recognized the other party.

This flame man is the same strong man.

The man who carried the sack last night.

Unexpectedly, he is still a fire awakener.

It's really hidden.

"It doesn't matter who I am. The important thing is that you are dying. โ€

Ding Jie said indifferently.

"Don't be ashamed. โ€

"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving. It's really unexpected, it's good to be able to capture an awakened person, the ghost tree has been fed by the awakened person, and the aura that bursts out will definitely be stronger. โ€

"You, die. โ€

The next second.

Pale green flames erupt!

turned into a long knife and slashed towards Ding Jie.

Suddenly, the whole room entered a state of fire.
