Chapter 1868 The Past (Six) (First Update)

Everything was planned well, and Ruan Qi entered the villa smoothly.

However, she never expected that the scene in the villa would be so terrifying. She never imagined that those children who had been tortured until they were disabled would beg her to kill them.

When she felt the dying pulse on the first boy's wrist, Ruan Qi knew that her plan might be ruined.

She couldn't pretend to be a corpse and then watch indifferently as these living people turned into real corpses.

The little girl is very naive, always trying to save everyone she can without overestimating her abilities.

So, she persuaded, she comforted, and she tried to give them hope.

However, everything is in vain.

From the moment the candle was hit on the curtain cloth and the raging fire burned - Ruan Qi's disguise plan and the so-called hope of survival were all in vain.

Jiang Chunian guessed all of Ruan Qi's intentions correctly.

Looking at the little girl's pale face, a big smile appeared on his lips, his eyes full of malice.

"Baby, I'm so good to you, but you want to avoid me. I'm a little sad, what should I do?"

Ruan Qi said nothing.

Jiang Chunian grabbed her hair and lifted her head up forcefully.

"Did you see those people?" He pointed at the children who were desperately crawling into the fire, and whispered in Ruan Qi's ear, "You really want to save them, don't you?"

Ruan Qi's eyelashes trembled, and a bad premonition filled her heart.

Sure enough, the next second, Jiang Chunian's voice exploded in her ears like a devil's whisper.

"Such a disobedient porcelain doll should be taught a lesson. Since you want to save them, then I will - destroy them all."

Boom——!

The raging fire burned the ash-dusted wooden humanoid statue in the villa.

The statue was broken at the waist, and its head and upper body slowly fell to the ground, and were swallowed by the dancing fire snakes.

Jiang Chunian waved his hand to his subordinates.

Several subordinates understood and quickly left the villa. Not long after, they brought in several large barrels.

Ruan Qi's mind suddenly buzzed when he saw the shape of the big barrel.

"What are you going to do?!" She stared at Jiang Chunian with splitting eyes, her voice becoming sharp due to excessive anger.

Jiang Chunian smiled at her.

"It seems you have guessed what is in the bucket." He hooked his hand at his subordinate, who put the big bucket in front of him.

Jiang Chunian unscrewed the round cover on the top of the vat.

In an instant, a pungent smell of gasoline spread out all over the place.

Ruan Qi's expression suddenly changed dramatically.

Jiang Chunian looked at her pale face and chuckled happily: "Baby, if you do something wrong, you will be punished. If you want to hide here, then I will burn it down. If you want to save those garbage, then I will , ruined them."

The little Ruan Qi had never seen such a cruel person before and was completely frightened.

She shook her head wildly.

"Don't... don't... you can't burn them... they can still be saved! They are still alive!"

The little girl's crying plea was like a cuckoo weeping blood.

But there was no mercy in Jiang Chunian's eyes, only malice and madness.

Seeing the tears on Xiao Ruan Qi's face, he became more and more excited. He raised his hand and waved lightly at several subordinates.

"Let's do it."

As soon as the words fell, several subordinates immediately picked up the oil drum and unscrewed the lid.

They ignored the 'goods' lying on the ground and poured gasoline on the ground, walls, and bodies of these 'goods'.

"No! No! You can't do this!"

Little Ruan Qi cried bitterly, rolling and crawling to grab the gasoline barrel.

"They're still alive! Please don't burn them!"

"Uncle, you must have children too. Please let them go! Please!"

The little girl overestimated her abilities and tried to make these people feel compassion by begging.

But where is anyone else in Xiaoyao Village?

They're just a bunch of beasts.

The subordinate who was blocking Ruan Qi's way kicked her away, and the gasoline in the oil barrel splashed towards the burning window with a splash.

boom--!

The flames instantly turned into a raging fire.

The fire snake scurried forward along the path of the gasoline splash, and mercilessly swallowed up the children who fell on the ground.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!!!"

The shrill screams resounded through the night sky of Xiaoyaozhuang in an instant.

The huge garbage dump turned into a sea of ​​​​fire in the blink of an eye.

Screams, cries for help, and wails merged into one sea of ​​fire. Through the blazing flames, Ruan Qi saw the children's limbs twisted in pain and their ferocious faces.

The little girl, who was only nine years old, was completely frightened by this hellish and terrifying scene.

She even forgot to cry and just stared blankly at everything in front of her.

Jiang Chunian squatted beside her and looked at her with a smile.

"Baby, does this fire look good?"

Ruan Qi said nothing, her body couldn't stop trembling.

Jiang Chunian treated her like a fragile porcelain doll, gently stroking her hair: "If you were obedient and good, and didn't come here secretly, these garbage wouldn't be burned to death. Baby, the reason why they will die is , they were all implicated by you. They——"

"It's all your fault!"

Boom——!

The fire was raging and engulfed the entire villa. The burning fire shot into the sky, illuminating Ruan Qi's bloodless face.

The whispers of the devil kept echoing in her ears——

"You killed them all."

"If you didn't sneak out here, this garbage wouldn't have been burned."

"Why are you disobedient? Why do you want to run away? So many lives have been lost because of your selfishness!"

"It wasn't Jiang Chunian who burned them to death. It was you, it was you! You brought the candles, you lit the fire. Jiang Chunian poured all this gasoline because of you!"

"You harmed them! Ruan Qi! You harmed them!"

"It's you! It's you! It's you!!!"

The voice full of malice and temptation kept echoing in Ruan Qi's mind.

She covered her ears tightly and shook her head vigorously.

"It's not me...it's not me...I didn't want to harm them..."

"I just wanted to hide...the candle was knocked down...I didn't set the fire..."

"I didn't mean to harm anyone...it wasn't me...I'm not wrong...I'm not wrong...I'm not wrong!!!"

The little girl's cries were desperate and pathetic.

That helpless and sad voice was like a sharp sword, shattering the cage of memory, breaking through ten years of time, and tearing twenty-year-old Ruan Qi's heart apart again with the most hysterical grief.

Ruan Qi opened her eyes tremblingly.

On the roof of the three-story building, fire was raging in the wind, just like that night ten years ago.

The scorching firelight, billowing smoke, and the frightened cries of children emanating from Chuanchuan in Ruan Qi's arms all seemed to reappear the scene ten years ago.

Ruan Qi was in a daze, and through the firelight, she seemed to see the former villa.

So many children and so many lives were reduced to ashes in that fire.
