Chapter 231 Weird Fire Strikes

Of course, one thing is basically certain.

The strange incident in the Yinyuan apartment building is not just a case of ghosts, and there must be someone manipulating behind it.

Looking back now, Old Dong might just be one of the pawns in this weird incident, and the earphone incident was just a branch of this series of weird cases.

It's just that he happened to be involved in the weird vortex of Yinyuan Apartment and became a part of it.

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

That is to say, the entire strange incident in Yinyuan Apartment may involve many small branch cases. These branch events influence each other, infiltrate each other, and finally become intertwined, forming the current confusing situation.

Although these branch incidents can provide some clues, after all, they still cannot completely uncover the whole big incident, and cannot break through the overall situation.

Of course, some useful information can be found slowly by peeling back the cocoons.

But Jiang Yue couldn't figure it out. If he digs a little bit like this, when will he be able to dig out the core things.

How many black hands are there in this apartment?Is the black hand who is completely controlling behind the scenes the original Master Liu?
Jiang Yue fell into deep thought.

The existing clues in this apartment have basically been excavated.Originally thought that when he arrived at apartment 1814, the truth would surface.

Now it seems that the problem is still too simple.

The old Principal Mei’s situation at that time, after all, there were not many useful clues he could provide, and his vision was limited after all. It was already very good to be able to see that there were problems in 1814, and it would be unrealistic to ask for more.

Jiang Yue naturally remembered the three cards before, suggesting apartment No. 1811.

This is also a clue.

But according to Jiang Yue's estimate, the ghost gave this reminder before it was on the verge of extinction. It must have intentions, but it may be the same as old principal Mei, with limited vision and still unable to point directly to the core things.

However, even so, you should always go and see.

Anyway, 1811 is not far away, and there are only two apartments between 1814 and [-].

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

The breath seemed to be something burning, the smell of something burning.

As soon as the idea came up, Jiang Yue sensed something was wrong.

Glancing outside, I found that the living room was instantly engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

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

The monstrous fire roared towards them like a living fire dragon.

Heat Wave almost didn't say hello, and rushed to Jiang Yue and the others.

Luo Chu groaned, never expecting the fire to start so suddenly and spread so fast.

This caught people completely off guard.

Jiang Yue also reacted quickly, the fire warding talisman he was carrying was instantly activated, and regardless of avoiding suspicion, he picked up Luo Chu, instead of retreating, he rushed out the door.

Just as Jiang Yue rushed to the door, the anti-theft door slammed shut.

Jiang Yue broke the deadbolt of the anti-theft door before, and it was always open.

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

But, can an unlocked door keep people in?
Jiang Yue pushed smoothly, wanting to take advantage of the situation and rush out of the door, but after this push, he failed to push the door open. He just felt the door move outwards slightly, and immediately encountered a rebounding force, and the door was slammed again. closed.

This is to trap them alive in the sea of ​​fire.

Jiang Yue sneered, if he hadn't had the fire-dispelling talisman by his side, he might have stumbled this time and been plotted against.

Guarded by the fire talisman, although the fire was fierce, it couldn't hurt them for a moment.Luo Chu was carried by Jiang Yue, and he was also within the protection range of the fire-dispelling talisman, so he would not be injured for a while.

Of course, Jiang Yue didn't intend to let himself be trapped in this anti-theft door.

Although the fire is not scary, but after a long time, it is hard to say whether the fire talisman can survive to the end.

Who knows if the other party has any other backhands?

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 anti-theft door flew out together with the door frame, and slammed into the opposite corridor.

boom!
Black smoke billowed out of the corridor and fled the scene.

Another group of ghosts?
Jiang Yue looked at the fleeing ghosts and knew that these ghosts were afraid of his own methods and did not dare to be tough.

Strange to say, the fire was well contained.

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

The fire was perfectly contained in the 1814 apartment, and not even a tiny bit of flame was leaked out, which is simply unimaginable.

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

At that moment just now, he almost felt that the god of death had arrived.That terrible fire can swallow them up almost instantly.

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

Even, not even a few hairs were burnt?

At the moment when Jiang Yue picked him up, Luo Chu didn't even notice the heat wave, as if the monstrous sea of ​​flames was an illusion, just an illusion.

But he knew that it was definitely not an illusion.

When the huffing fire dragon rushed into the bedroom, Luo Chu almost fainted from the heat wave that engulfed him at the first blow. If Jiang Yue hadn't moved so fast, Luo Chu would never have survived five seconds.

Luo Chu stared blankly at the two heavens inside and outside the house, but still couldn't understand, how did the fire start?And how to control it from spreading in the house?
This apartment, that is, a card table and a mahjong table, does not contain many flammable materials.Why can the fire burn so fiercely at once?
Is it a gas leak?
Or is the house full of gasoline?
Not like!
Seeing that Luo Chu, who was always calm, was a little lost, Jiang Yue couldn't help but remind him: "Luo Chu, bring yourself up."

Luo Chu shuddered and regained his composure.

I can't hold back like Mr. Ke.

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

It's not unreasonable to say that Luo Chu's analysis like this is not unreasonable.

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

Since every move could be monitored by the other party, there was no need to dodge it.

Hit the door directly.

This apartment is not as big as 1814, but the layout is very reasonable, and the most rare thing is that the room is very warmly organized.

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

This quite coincides with the image of the dying ghost.

On the background wall behind the sofa in this apartment, there is a photo wall with many exquisite and small photo frames hanging on it, large and small, with many photos inside.

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

One of them is the woman in her 30s, and there is a boy who should be her child.The two in the photo should be a mother-son relationship.

There is obviously a timeline for the photos, about one per year, from the time he was born to the latest one, he is already a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

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

Although there is no story in the photo, it reveals a message that the husband of the woman and the father of the child do not appear in the photo.

This is mostly a single parent family.

In the corner of the living room, a camp bed was folded, leaning against the corner, and did not unfold.

In addition, there is a desk and a chair in the living room.There are no coffee tables, TV cabinets and the like, not even a TV.

The layout of the bedroom is also very simple. The bed is the simplest wooden bed, and the cabinet does not look new. When the wardrobe is opened, the clothes between mother and child are put aside, and it seems that there are not many clothes.

Especially for a woman in her 30s, this family background is definitely shabby.

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

When the woman ghost was dying, she left her room number, what was she trying to express?It doesn't look like there are any weird clues in this apartment.

A normal apartment building.

No reason, when it was on the verge of destruction, did you still have the mind to make such a big joke?

However, Jiang Yue immediately remembered the sorrow, the nostalgia, the emotion that penetrated the soul of the ghost before it died, but it didn't seem to be a fake.

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

So, is she actually trying to entrust something?
When a ghost is dying, what else can it not let go of?

if so……

Jiang Yue looked up at the photos on the background wall, looking at the timeline of growing up from a baby to a young boy year by year...

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?Haven't been killed yet?

This conjecture made Jiang Yue's heart skip a beat.

The reluctance and uneasiness in the woman's ghost's eyes couldn't help appearing in my mind.

If the kid wasn't in the apartment, what was she worried about?
If the child is not 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 the child.

Star City No. [-] Middle School!
This child is 13 years old and goes to school in Xingcheng No. [-] Middle School.

Jiang Yue guessed that this child should be a boarding student.This can be seen from the camp bed in the living room. This camp bed is usually not opened, and it is only used when I go home on weekends.

And the frequency of using many things on his desk is not high, which also proves that this child is not at home every day.

If you are a boarding student, you can only go home once every weekend.

"Luo Chu, what day is it today?"

"Friday..." Luo Chu subconsciously replied.

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

"I've been there a few times."

"When do boarding students in No. [-] Middle School usually go home?"

"Let me think about it. I remember passing by Xingcheng No. [-] Middle School often. They have an evening self-study system. It seems that day students can only return after nine o'clock in the evening. As for boarding students, they must not be able to return until the weekend, right?"

Jiang Yue looked at his phone, it was past 40:[-] in the evening.

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

Jiang Yue frowned violently.

Today is Friday, if the weekend is off, then on Friday night, after the evening self-study, wouldn't it be the time for the child to go home?
For a moment, Jiang Yue understood the meaning of the woman's eyes.

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

Even if it is a ghost, she doesn't want her child to follow in the footsteps, she still hopes that the child can live well.The child is still young and should not die like this!
This is a great maternal love that moved Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue couldn't sit idly by.

However, counting the child's time on the road, it will not exceed an hour before and after.

This hour, how to stop the child from coming back?Or, in case the child comes back, how to ensure that he will not be killed in the first place?
Go downstairs and intercept the other party, there must be time to go downstairs now.

But, they entered this apartment building, can they really go downstairs?

Jiang Yue has never been optimistic about this.

It is obviously unrealistic to call to inform the other party.

First, there is no contact information, and second, the mobile phone signal is completely blocked, and it is impossible to make calls.

Jiang Yue searched the bedroom, trying to find more useful information.The bedroom had a locker drawer.

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

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

"Zijian, the card is all our savings, and the password is our common password...Mom loves you!!!"

This note was written hastily, 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.

Thousands of words are replaced by four words. Is it too late to write more, or is it inconvenient to write more?

For a while, Jiang Yue found it hard to hold back.

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

If the mother didn't have any accidents, she should love her child like this mother, right?
Luo Chu was attacked by raging fire before, but this time he was much more careful.

When Jiang Yue was in the back room, he used the wall as a cover to observe all the movements outside.

Suddenly, Jiang Yue gently pushed the drawer up.

Dodging to Luo Chu's side, he whispered: "Someone is coming!"

Indeed someone is coming!
He actually heard footsteps, very real footsteps!The footsteps sounded from far to near, and the footsteps were brisk, which sounded extremely cheerful!
In this eerie apartment building, ghosts hovered everywhere, and there was such light footsteps. What Jiang Yue and Luo Chu felt was obviously not relaxation, but shock, and even a little creepy.

When the footsteps approached 1811, they actually stopped.

They actually heard the sound of pulling the door.

At the same time, a young man's voice came: "Mom, why don't you close the door? Is the apartment power out? I'm exhausted by the dozens of steps!"

mom?
Jiang Yue and Luo Chu felt absurd at the same time.

Is it a photo? Did the kid come home?

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