Chapter 34: Clue Tracking

The fire started in a crowded residential building, perhaps because of the weekend, the entrance was full of cars on both sides, and with residents running down the floor, Xu Qiufan had to park outside.

"Is that thing here?" Xu Qiufan asked, closing the car door at the same time.

The floor where the fire started was probably on the third floor, and the smoke billowed from the top was terrifying.

"Probably, just a feeling, of course."

Cheng Hai frowned and looked at the crowd around him.

Having made a deal with the demon, he knew the risks best, and if there was a thing that exchanged money through pain, it would definitely not be as simple as an equivalent transaction.

Because pain tolerance can also be improved, after the same level of pain habits, the amount of money you get in exchange will definitely decrease.

Judging from the tragic condition of the first deceased, the sight of the thing can also erode the mind of the owner, causing greed to swell until it mutilates itself to death.

According to the level of pain, being burned to death by flames is quite painful, so Cheng Hai felt the need to come over and investigate.

"It may be late, but keep an eye out for passers-by."

Cheng Hai glanced at his mobile phone, looked up and said, "According to the information provided by Officer Liu, the second deceased was sneaky when he left, indicating that the evil spirit may be parasitic in an item." If the fire had been made by the previous owner, the thing might have been transferred before he died. ”

"Of course......"

Xu Qiufan shrugged his shoulders, and then couldn't help but complain: "There are a lot of suspicious people, but it doesn't feel like our target." ”

"How?"

Cheng Hai didn't find anything wrong.

"Look at the old man, the one in the sunglasses. The guy knocked when he walked, and he looked like a blind man, but he was wearing gloves that were inconvenient to sense, which was very abnormal. ”

"Are you going to catch it now or later?"

Cheng Hai took a closer look, it was really like that.

"Wait a minute, it's not appropriate for us to be too high-profile without a uniform. The traffic here is not bad, police cars and fire trucks will come, just keep an eye on it. ”

As he spoke, Xu Qiufan gestured with his eyes again: "And that man, have you seen it?" The one with the girl in the yellow sweater jacket. ”

"What's wrong with him?"

Cheng Hai observed for a long time, but he couldn't detect anything wrong at all.

"Look at his ring finger, there is a faint ring mark on it, and the woman's hand is very clean. It can basically be concluded that this guy came out to steal food. Xu Qiufan said disdainfully.

Cheng Hai: "......"

This touches on his knowledge blind spot.

And why is this guy so skilled?

At this moment, a cry suddenly came from upstairs, probably someone was trapped inside. The blind old man looked up, and Xu Qiufan suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Looking back behind him, the haphazardly parked cars had blocked half of the fire escape. Cheng Hai frowned, and was about to speak, when the screams upstairs suddenly stopped, and turned into bursts of crazy laughter.

"Hahaha......"

A middle-aged woman couldn't help frowning: "That's Aunt Wang on the sixth floor?" ”

In this case, the sound is more frightening than a howl.

"Her kids didn't go to school this weekend, so they couldn't be trapped inside, right?" Another aunt said.

"Alas, Xiao Wang is also a poor man, just gave birth to triplets, and her husband is gone. One person with three children to such an age, I didn't expect this to happen again......"

"Is it a man with three children......

Listening to the discussions of several people, Cheng Hai probably understood the cause and effect.

It's no wonder that there is a bit of relief in this laughter, it is difficult enough for a woman to support a baby, let alone three. This kind of accident may be a relief in her heart.

"Do you know water spells?"

Cheng Hai walked to Xu Qiufan's side in a few steps, and the old problem was made again.

"There will be some, but compared to those, it is not as effective as the Rakan fire pipe." Xu Qiufan spread his hands.

Water-based spells are somewhat lacking in attack performance, and are generally not the first choice for Dao techniques. The few he will know have also killed and trapped the enemy, and the fire can be extinguished, but he is afraid that the building will collapse. Too low-level spells do not produce enough water, so it is not realistic to use them to extinguish fires.

"That's the problem." Cheng Hai frowned.

A group of residents parked indiscriminately for convenience, and the fire truck would definitely not be able to enter.

He wanted to save people, but the last time he went to the Death Street, he accidentally consumed the mutant god with the ability to control fire, and he didn't have too good skills at hand.

"Or ...... Try that? ”

The crazy laughter had gradually subsided, and Cheng Hai left the crowd and felt for the water sword in the storage bag.

This was his second exposure to fire, and although the fire was far less severe than the last wildfire in Youma Township, it was impossible to break the isolation belt in this way.

However, what impressed Cheng Hai was that the last time he was in Kamato Tanjiro, he had saved a team of firefighters with the breath of water.

Although that breathing method is not very advanced, it does use the body to attract the elements, creating an effect similar to that of a whirlpool. Now his lungs are the lungs of the Sound Patrol Dolphin with the water attribute, and if he can use this method to induce the aura, he can also use the water attribute spell.

"Hey! Take this with you. ”

Xu Qiufan stopped him from afar and threw a golden light over.

Cheng Hai picked it up and saw that it was a few fire avoidance talismans.

"Will it work?"

"Thank you."

I silently recited a few words of the charm in my heart, and the rune paper softened in an instant, turning into a piece of flying ash. At the same time, a layer of misty soft light wrapped around Cheng Hai's body, like an invisible fireproof suit, which can isolate the high temperature.

After a little thought, Cheng Hai walked towards the fire hydrant at the intersection, and at the same time, a burst of light swayed in the forbidden eye, causing the humans present who were still open-eyed to fall into an illusion and subconsciously ignore themselves.

This is a small trick that he has studied in his spare time in the past few days, and it also saves them from making a fuss and wasting the police's resources to deal with it.

Airplanes!

The long sword roared like a tide crashing on a rocky bank. Cheng Hai's heart sank like water, as if facing a sea.

I don't remember the first time he faced this scene.

It's just that it's not just his state of mind that stops the water, but the sea in front of him is also dead. It's like a person outside a painting looking at the world in the painting, although the sea water is fluttering in front of you, but there is a moat between it and Cheng Hai, which is elusive.

"Dao, Dao, where are you......"

Confused and silently chanted, Cheng Hai used his spiritual power on the sword body and cut off the top of the fire hydrant with a sword.

The thick water jet spewed out more than three meters high, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"What is this?"

"Why did the hydrant crack on its own?"

"Don't look at it, whose car here should move it quickly, otherwise the fire truck will be pushed by you when the fire truck comes."

Xu Qiufan reminded loudly, and the affected residents also reacted and responded to his call.

"Yes! Whose car is this? Don't have parking? ”

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

"Give you ten seconds, if you don't move, don't blame the old man for pushing the cart!"

For a while, the crowd was indignant, and the attention was shifted.

Looking in the direction of Cheng Hai, he was splitting water with his sword at this time......
