ATBIRFBB Chapter 168

Fu Yuling didn’t have any matters to attend to. She just wanted to change the subject.

Shaking her head, she started to play with Xiao Xuan who was holding her hand.

Meanwhile, the pretty boy Xiao Rui mentioned by Fu Qi had gone with He Jingsi to find someone. They did find the person they were looking for, but he was too scared and knew nothing.

They had no choice but to let him go.

Not far from the police station, a large group of people suddenly rushed out from an unnoticeable corner on a street.

“Fire! Fire! Run…”

“Ah!”

“There are still people inside!”

“The door is locked…”

A chaotic group of people were panicking, white smoke began to rise into the sky, and flames shot upwards like fiery snakes. The heat was so intense that people dared not go over.

In contrast to the noise outside, the house that was on fire was eerily quiet, leaving those people outside uncertain if anyone was inside.

The beggar was still wearing the same clothes from days ago, surrounded by a dozen frightened children who clung to him. Facing the searing heat of the flames that could make one scream, their eyes were filled with terror.

“Don’t be afraid! Soon we’ll have something delicious to eat. There are mommies and daddies, beautiful clothes, and houses there. We’ll definitely be happy there.”

The beggar whispered, his voice became increasingly faint.

He had lost his senses, not even aware of what he was saying.

In the end, he leaned against the wall and fainted. The fire suddenly engulfed him, causing him to roll on the ground in pain and scream frantically.

“Run….”

Gradually, it wasn’t just him. Several children were also burned by the fire, their violent struggles slowly subsiding.

The flames remained intense, and the sounds from outside could clearly be heard inside.

Watching as everyone left one by one, lifeless and turning into blackened corpses, the little girl who had been clutching her puppet doll stared blankly at it all.

Here, she was all alone.

She carefully protected the doll in her arms and retreated from the flames. But everything around her was catching fire, and the flames slowly climbed up her pants, causing pain that made her cry out.

She fell to the ground and the doll dropped away. She struggled to reach for it, but the pain in her legs made it impossible.

Muttering incomprehensibly, tears streamed from the corners of her eyes. She finally grabbed the doll before losing consciousness. After putting it back into her arms, she began to lose consciousness.

The flames grew larger!

People outside watched as the fire continued to rage. Some brought buckets of water and poured them onto the flames, but even after a long time, the fire showed no signs of lessening.

They anxiously stared inside. The flames were too fierce for anyone to dare go in, leaving them feeling helpless.

Inside, the little girl was in a haze. She muttered something unintelligible.

“Don’t go, okay? Don’t leave me…”

“Brother said he’s going to see you guys. It will hurt a little but it’ll be okay…”

“I can endure until later.”

…

When everything was over, it was now a wasteland.

As people entered to check, they were horrified to discover that in one room, in addition to one adult corpse, there were also more than a dozen children’s bodies.

Some people began to angrily curse the beggar for being so cruel as to take children to their deaths.

Only those who lived nearby and knew the truth remained silent. The brave ones began to collect the bodies.

After working for a long time, all the bodies were finally cleared away, and curious onlookers began to gather.

From then on, there would no longer be a silent beggar sitting in the corner of the small town all day long. He would watch the bustling street quietly, silently guarding his small piece of land.

On that road in the small town, there would no longer be those children following the beggar with joy, their smiles illuminating the scene.

Later… there was no more later…
