Chapter 0228: A Strange Fire Strikes

Of course, one thing is certain.

The strange incident in Yinyuan apartment building is by no means just a case of ghosts, there must be human manipulation behind it.

Looking back now, Lao Dong may just be one of the chess pieces of this strange incident, and the headphone incident is just a branch of this series of strange cases.

It's just that he happened to be caught up in the weird whirlpool of Yinyuan's apartment and became one of them.

And what Principal Mei saw and considered may also be just a branch of the strange incident in Yinyuan Apartment, and it is only one of them.

In other words, the strange incident of the entire Yinyuan apartment may involve many small branch cases, which affect each other, penetrate each other, and finally become intertwined, forming the current confusing situation.

Although these branch events can provide some clues, they still can't completely uncover the whole big event and break the overall picture.

Of course, you can slowly find some useful information by peeling back the cocoon.

But Jiang Yue couldn't say clearly, when would he be able to dig the core things little by little.

How many black hands are there in this apartment? Is the black hand who is completely controlled behind the scenes the same Master Liu in the first place?

Jiang Yue fell into deep thought.

The clues that have been found in this apartment have basically been dug up. I thought that when I arrived at apartment 1814, the truth would come to light.

Nowadays, it seems that the problem is still too simple.

Principal Mei was in a situation at that time, after all, there were not many useful clues that could be provided, his vision was limited after all, and it was already good to be able to see that there was a problem with 1814, and it was unrealistic to ask for more.

The previous three cards, prompting apartment No. 1811, Jiang Yue naturally remembered.

This is also a clue.

But according to Jiang Yue's estimation, the ghost thing gave this hint before it was on the verge of extinction, and there must be an intention, but it is estimated that it may be the same as Old Principal Mei, with a limited field of vision, and still unable to point directly to the core thing.

However, even so, it is always necessary to see it.

Anyway, 1811 is not far away, and there are two apartments between it and 1814.

Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Yue's nose suddenly twitched. There seemed to be something strange in the air.

The smell was like something burning, the smell of something burning.

As soon as the thought came to him, Jiang Yue sensed that something was wrong.

When I glanced out, I found that the living room was instantly plunged into a sea of fire.

When he first cast a glance, he saw only a little bit of fire. After this glance, the entire living room seemed to be poured with gasoline, and it burned into a sea of fire in an instant, and the area of the fire increased tenfold almost in one second.

The monstrous fire roared towards them like a living dragon.

The heat wave almost didn't say hello and rushed to Jiang Yue and them.

I never imagined that this fire would start so suddenly, and it would spread so quickly.

This is a surprise at all.

Jiang Yue reacted quickly, and the fire-repelling spirit rune he carried on his body was activated instantly, and he didn't care about avoiding suspicion or anything, and instead of retreating, he rushed towards the door.

Jiang Yue just rushed to the door, and the security door slammed shut.

This security door was broken by Jiang Yue before, and the deadbolt ꓹ has always been open.

At this time, it inexplicably closed automatically, as if there was an invisible hand in the darkness that deliberately closed the door.

Is it just that a door without a lock can close a person?

Jiang Yue pushed it with his hand, wanting to take advantage of the situation to rush out of the door, but under this push, he couldn't push the door open, but only slightly felt the door move out, and immediately encountered a rebound force and closed the door again.

It was to trap them alive in the fire.

Jiang Yue sneered, if it weren't for the Fire Fighting Spirit Talisman by his side, it was really possible that he would have stumbled and been plotted against this time.

Guarded by the Fire Fighting Spirit Talisman, although this fire is fierce, it can't hurt them for a moment. Luo Chu was carried by Jiang Yue, and it was also within the protection range of the Fire Fighting Spirit Talisman, so he would not be injured for a while.

Of course, Jiang Yue didn't plan to trap himself in this security door.

Although the fire is not afraid, but after a long time, it is difficult to say whether the fire spirit rune can carry it to the end.

Who knows if the other party has any other back-ups?

Riveting with all his strength, his whole body slammed into the door like a cannonball.

Only a few screams were heard outside the door, and the entire security door flew out along with the door frame, and slammed into the opposite side of the corridor.

Bang!

Outside the hallway, black smoke billowed away, fleeing the scene.

Another bunch of ghosts?

Jiang Yue looked at these fleeing ghosts, knowing that these ghosts were afraid of their own methods and did not dare to face them head-on.

Strange to say, the fire was so well controlled.

When Jiang Yue and the others rushed to the corridor, they didn't feel the threat of fire at all.

It is unbelievable that the fire was perfectly contained in the 1814 apartment, and not even the slightest flame leaked out.

Luo Chu was put down by Jiang Yue, and he was silent for a while, unable to make a sound.

At that moment, he almost felt that death had arrived. The terrifying fire could have consumed them almost instantly.

Who would have thought that Jiang Yue would actually carry him and run out unscathed?

Not even a few hairs burned?

The moment he was carried by Jiang Yue, Luo Chu didn't even notice the feeling of the heat wave rolling, as if the monstrous sea of fire was an illusion, just an illusion.

But he knew that it was definitely not an illusion.

When the spitting fire dragon rushed into the bedroom, the first heat wave almost made Luo Chu faint, if it wasn't for Jiang Yue's fast movements, Luo Chu would definitely not be able to survive for five seconds.

Luo Chu looked at the two heavens inside and outside the house in a daze, and still couldn't understand, how did this fire burn, and how did it control it from spreading inside the house?

This apartment, which is a card table, a mahjong table, does not have much flammability. Why does the fire burn so violently all at once?

By the way, the app I've been using recently is supported by Android and Apple phones!

Is it a gas leak?

Or is the house full of gas?

It's not like it!

Jiang Yue saw that Luo Chu, who had always been calm, was a little distracted, and couldn't help but remind: "Luo Chu, bring up your senses." ”

Luo was a stirring spirit and relieved himself.

I can't be like Mr. Ke to hold back.

"Xiao Jiang, it seems that we are getting closer and closer to the truth. The opponent can't sit still and starts to take the initiative to attack!"

It is not unreasonable to say that Luo Chu is so analytical.

Jiang Yue gestured to Luo to cheer up. Turn the corner and come to the door of apartment 1811.

Since every move may be monitored by the other party, there is no need to dodge.

Knock the door straight open.

This apartment is not as big as 1814, but the floor plan is very reasonable, and the most rare thing is that the room is very warm.

At first glance, the owner's family is the kind of woman who is neat and capable, and is good at housework.

This coincides with the image of the ghost creature on the verge of extinction.

The background wall behind the sofa in this apartment is a photo wall with many delicate and small frames, large and small, with many photos inside.

Although there are more than a dozen photos, there are only two characters.

One of them was the woman in her thirties, and a boy, who was supposed to be her child. The photo of the two should be a mother-son relationship.

There is obviously a timeline in the photo, about one per year, from the croaking to the most recent one, it is already a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

And the woman has transformed from a young mother to a mature woman.

Although the photo does not have a story, it does reveal that the woman's husband and the father of the child do not appear in the photo.

It's mostly a single-parent family.

In the corner of the living room, a marching bed was folded, leaning against the corner and not unfolded.

In addition to this, there is a desk in the living room, a chair. What coffee table, TV cabinet or whatever, not at all, not even a TV.

The layout of the bedroom is also very simple, the bed is the simplest wooden bed, the cabinet does not look new, open the wardrobe, and put the clothes between the mother and son aside, it doesn't look like there are many clothes.

Especially for a woman in her thirties, this family background is definitely shabby.

Jiang Yue looked around, but was a little puzzled for a while.

What did the woman want to express when she left her room number when she was dying?

A normal apartment building.

There's no reason why you still have the heart to make such a big joke when you're on the verge of destruction, right?

However, Jiang Yue immediately remembered the kind of sadness, that kind of attachment, and that kind of emotion that penetrated the soul of the ghost before he died, but it was not like a disguise.

At that time, her eyes were full of reluctance, and it was obvious that she couldn't let go of something.

So, is she actually trying to entrust something?

What can a ghost creature not let go of when it is dying?

If anything......

Jiang Yue looked up at the photos on the background wall, looking at the timeline from a baby to a young man......

Is it her son?

What she can't let go of is her son?

Could it be that her son is not in the apartment building, and has not been killed?

This conjecture made Jiang Yue's heart suddenly move.

I can't help but think of the reluctant and uneasy eyes of the woman and the ghost.

If the child is not in the apartment, what else is she worried about?

If the kid wasn't in the apartment, where should he be at the moment?

Jiang Yue walked to the desk and quickly found the answer. On the shelf of the desk, Jiang Yue found some clues about this child.

Star City No. 1 Middle School!

The child is thirteen years old and attends Xingcheng No. 1 Middle School.

Jiang Yue guessed that this child should be a boarder. This can be seen from the marching bed in the living room, which is not usually opened, and is only used when returning home on weekends.

And many things on his desk are not used very often, which also proves that this child is not at home every day.

If you are a boarder, you can only go home once a weekend.

"Luo, what day of the week is today?"

"Friday......" Luo Chu subconsciously replied.

"Are you familiar with Star City No. 1 Middle School?" Jiang Yue suddenly asked again.

"Been there a few times. ”

"When do boarding students in No. 1 usually go home?"

"Let me think about it, I remember often passing by Star City No. 1 Middle School, and they have an evening self-study system. Day students don't seem to be able to return until after 9 p.m. If you're a boarder, you won't be able to go back until the weekend, right?"

Jiang Yue looked at his phone, and it was now more than 8:40 in the evening.

Before they knew it, they had been staying in this apartment for hours.

Jiang Yue's brows jumped violently.

Today is Friday, if the weekend is off, then Friday night, after evening self-study, isn't it the time for this child to go home?

For a moment, Jiang Yue suddenly understood the meaning of the woman's eyes.

She was worried that her son would come home from the weekend vacation, enter the apartment, and break into this hell.

Even if she has changed her ghost, she doesn't want her child to follow in her footsteps, she still hopes that her child can live well. The child is still young, and he shouldn't die like this!

This is a great maternal love that moves Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue couldn't sit idly by.

However, counting the time spent on the child's journey, it will not exceed an hour.

At this hour, how do you stop the child from coming back, or how do you make sure that the child doesn't get killed in the first place if he comes back?

Go downstairs to intercept each other, it's definitely too late to go downstairs now.

It's just that when they enter this apartment building, can they really go downstairs?

Jiang Yue has not been optimistic about this.

It's obviously not realistic to call the other party to inform them.

First, there is no contact information, and second, the mobile phone signal is completely blocked, and it is impossible to call at all.

Jiang Yue searched the bedroom, trying to find more useful information. In the bedroom, there is a cabinet with a locked drawer.

The lock of the drawer was very fragile, and Jiang Yue pulled the drawer open with a gentle tug.

As soon as I looked at it, I saw a bank card with a note attached to the side of the card.

"Zijian, the card is all our family's savings, and the password is our family's general password...... Mommy loves you !!"

This note was written in a hurry, but Jiang Yue could see that the person who wrote this note obviously had a thousand words, but in the end it was only reduced to four words, Mom loves you.

A thousand words are replaced by four words, is it too late to write more, or is it inconvenient to write more?

Jiang Yue was a little difficult to control himself for a while.

He thought of his mother, and remembered the dream he had every day some time ago.

If the mother hadn't had an accident, she would have loved her child as much as this mother, right?

Luo was attacked by fire before, but this time he was much more careful.

When Jiang Yue was in the inner room, he used the wall as a cover and observed all the movements outside.

Suddenly, Jiang Yue gently pushed the drawer up.

Dodged to Luo's side and whispered, "Someone is coming!"

Someone is coming!

He heard footsteps, very real footsteps! The footsteps were brisk, and they sounded very cheerful!

In this weird apartment building, there were ghosts and things everywhere, and there was such a light footsteps, Jiang Yue and Luo Chu felt obviously not relaxed, but shocked, and even a little crazy.

When the footsteps approached 1811, they actually stopped.

But they heard the door sliding.

At the same time, a young man's voice came: "Mom, why don't you close the door? Is the apartment out of power? These dozen or so steps can make me tired!"

Mother?

Jiang Yue and Luo Chu had a sense of absurdity at the same time.

Is it a photo that the child is home?

Isn't it nine o'clock for self-study at night? It's only less than nine o'clock, why did you come back?
