"The balance is not much......"

Wu Xiaode looked at the balance display on the mobile phone screen and couldn't help but sigh.

That's a semester of money I've saved!

But then again, may the commission on the wall be completed.

He also survived safely, and he also obtained the inheritance of the Iron Wire Flow Fist Method.

Be content.

Now it's time to go home and take a break, think about how you can get a living expense, and by the way, think about what you will do in the next few days to make yourself stronger.

After all, it's been half a day.

In six and a half days, he will be transported to the Death Cave again.

Wu Xiaode walked while looking at the black book floating in front of him.

A question suddenly arose in his mind.

Since that ancestral spirit is so strong, why don't you go and save Zhao Junyu in person, and entrust me with it?

Seems to know what he's thinking—

A new small print of ice crystals has surfaced on the Book of the Dead:

"Neither the undead nor the Heroic can communicate with the living, and only the extremely rare Profession abilities can communicate with them, such as in this book."

"In addition, no spirit can interfere with the fate of the real world, and it is only with the help of certain professional abilities or props that they can realize many things."

I see.

Wu Xiaode turned the corner of the street, suddenly felt something, and slowly raised his head.

Ahead.

Upstairs in the old community, thick smoke billowed and flames soared into the sky.

Almost at the same moment, the phone in my pocket vibrated and rang.

He took it out and looked at it, and immediately connected it.

"Sister Lan, where are you?" He asked nervously.

There was a sobbing sound on the phone, followed by Xia Huilan's voice:

"Xiao Wu, run, don't come back!"

Wu Xiaode's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "Sister Lan? What happened to you? What happened? ”

Toot –

The phone hung up.

Immediately after, a message appeared on the phone screen:

"There was a widespread fire in the old area No. 361 in the south of the city."

There...... Isn't it your own home?

Xia Huilan is trapped upstairs?

Wu Xiaode rushed out like lightning, and in just a few breaths, he crossed the long street, climbed over the courtyard wall, and came to the family building.

Looking up, the flames were engulfing the entire building.

Xia Huilan lives on the fifth floor.

The location of the fire is on the ninth floor, and although the fire is spreading, it is still some distance from the fifth floor where Xia Huilan lives.

"It's okay......"

Wu Xiaode muttered and rushed directly into the corridor of the unit building.

His body is extremely light, and his feet are full of strength, and he can jump an entire flight of stairs with just one kick.

In less than a minute, he was on the fifth floor.

Bang Dang –

Wu Xiaode kicked the door open and looked inside.

"Sister Lan!"

He shouted.

No response.

I saw that the dense awards that Xia Huilan had won since she was a child were pasted on the wall, which had been blackened by smoke, and it was ruined.

It's her baby, and now she doesn't care.

Wu Xiaode rushed into the entrance and shouted, "Sister Lan, where are you?" ”

in the living room.

A woman was tied to a chair, her head hanging as if she had fallen into a coma.

Blood flowed down her arm.

- After a while, the fire spreads, and she has no way to live.

"Sister Lan!"

Wu Xiaode rushed forward and hurriedly wanted to save the woman, but suddenly found that something was wrong.

He crouched down to take a closer look at the woman's face.

- It's not Xia Huilan!

Wu Xiaode was stunned and reached out to touch the woman's pulse.

There is no pulse.

She's dead.

Why did a strange woman die in Xia Huilan's house?

And the fire is about to burn down!

Wu Xiaode suddenly remembered many things.

Ms. Xia said she wanted to resign.

She was pestered by a few thugs, and the out-of-the-way thugs also carried knives.

That USB flash drive.

and her final admonition.

Scenes flashed through his mind, so much so that Wu Xiaode suddenly realized one thing.

Perhaps this fire is not simple.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door.

Wu Xiaode turned around quickly, only to see a person standing at the door, looking at himself playfully.

"Should you call you stupid, or are you infatuated?" The man said.

He was wearing a flower shirt, and the fruit knife in his hand had turned into a half-arm-long machete, and he was tilting his head to look at Wu Xiaode.

That gangster boss!

Wu Xiaode stood up and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Why are you here? ”

"Stinky boy, you made me ugly during the day." Gangsters.

"Ugly? How do I remember that you tried to stab me with that fruit knife. Wu Xiaode said.

"Boy, it's the cleaver and the fish cutter that make me have to retreat—"

The thug waved the bright machete in his hand and said proudly: "Look, this is not a fruit knife, this time Lao Tzu wants to find the field." ”

As soon as his body sank, he rushed towards Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode took out an object from behind his back and held it flat and pointed at the gangsters.

The thug glanced at it and lost his voice: "Gun!" ”

It's a cramped indoor environment, and it's almost impossible to escape from gunpoint.

It's a gun, why does he have a gun?

The gangster's face changed several times, he waved his machete, and shouted: "Come on, there is a kind of take out the knife and compete with me to see who is better!" ”

Phew-

Wu Xiaode pulled the trigger.

A bullet grazed the thug's side and struck the wall.

The thugs froze.

Wu Xiaode pointed at the ground with the barrel of his gun.

The thugs obediently put down their machetes, raised their hands, and knelt on the ground.

"Big brother, spare my life." He begged.

Wu Xiaode asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"Little brother, I lost when I got right with you in the afternoon, and even turned around and ran away in front of my brothers, which made everyone no longer obey me - I wanted to learn from you again, and I just saw you coming upstairs, so I followed."

The gangster's head was covered in cold sweat, and his voice trembled a little.

Wu Xiaode thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, if you really want to take revenge, it's a big deal to wait downstairs, if I am burned to death, wouldn't it be better?" ”

"This building has been on fire, and people's instincts are to avoid harm, you will run when you see my fish cutting knife, let alone such a big fire?"

"You risk dying in the fire, and you have to come upstairs and fight me, unless there is any benefit in doing so."

"What's the benefit?"

Wu Xiaode paused.

Smoke billowed from outside the window.

The temperature began to rise.

The fire has burned.

Wu Xiaode frowned and said, "The advantage of fighting here is fire." ”

He glanced back at the strange woman's corpse.

"If I die in the fire, and my flesh and bones are burned to the ground, no one will know how I died."

"In other words—"

"You're actually here to kill me."

The thug was shocked, and there was an incredible look on his face.

Wu Xiaode walked up and put a gun to his head, and said coldly, "Am I right?" ”

"I ......"

The thug's lips twitched twice, and he suddenly turned his head away, let go of the muzzle, pulled out the fruit knife from his arms, and stabbed Wu Xiaode in the chest.

His movements are crisp and fast, as if he were a professional martial artist.

If it had been before, Wu Xiaode might not have been able to react, but now-

Syllable!

There was a crisp sound, and the dagger in the thug's hand was flapped away.

Wu Xiaode punched with a backhand, directly flying the gangsters out, hitting the wall, and spurting out a mouthful of blood.

"When I was in the alley, you were just fighting, but you were going to stab me with a knife, and I thought something was wrong, and now you're here again - are you waiting for me to come back, and then kill me?"

Wu Xiaode's eyes were full of anger.

He grabbed the thug by the neck, pressed him to the ground, and shouted, "What the hell is going on, why do you have to kill me?" ”

The thugs just gasped, but they didn't speak.

Wu Xiaode nodded silently, dragged the gangster into the room, tore off the sheets on the bed, and tied the gangster to a chair.

With a flick of one hand, he lifted the thug and the chair and placed it back in the living room, opposite the female corpse.

Smoke seeped into the room, and the fire grew more and more intense.

The surging blood light passed through the glass window, mixed with the noisy shouts and shouts outside, and reflected on Wu Xiaode's expressionless face.

"You're going to kill me and you won't tell me why—that's okay, I'll just leave you here."

After Wu Xiaode finished speaking, he tied the gangster's hands, feet and body to the chair.

When he had done all this, he walked outside without looking back.

The thug looked at the female corpse opposite, and struggled desperately with his hands and feet a few times, but found that he was completely unable to break free from the restraint of the chair.

The temperature is scorching.

It was as if they had been soaked in water, and the sweat all over their bodies couldn't stop flowing downward.

"Wait a minute, I can tell you!" The thugs couldn't help but shout.

"Say." Wu Xiaode didn't look back.

"We don't know about Xia Huilan, we accepted the bounty and came to kill you." Gangsters.
