This actor is full of tricks.

It was nearly six o'clock when Lin Jue left the orphanage. Liao Fan had been in a low mood since returning from the cemetery and hadn't been eating well, so he took some time to come and have a heart-to-heart talk with him, making sure he finished his meal before leaving.

It takes half an hour to get from the welfare home to Renwen Street by bus, and you have to transfer once. While Lin Jue was waiting for the second bus, he suddenly heard a commotion from the crowd around him.

"Holy crap! Is it on fire?"

"It's really on fire! How could the fire spread so fast! It engulfed the entire building in an instant!"

"Quickly call the fire department!"

"Hello! Fire department? Fire! An entire building is on fire! People are trapped inside. The address is..."

Amidst the panic of the crowd, Lin Jue also smelled a burning odor in the air and heard desperate screams.

He turned his head sharply and saw a low-rise residential building about four or five hundred meters away from the bus stop engulfed in flames. The flames carried thick, pungent black smoke into the sky, creating wave after wave of scorching heat.

Through the flames, one could see many residents trapped inside the building, running and screaming as they fled amidst the flames.

"This flame is strange!" When Lin Jue got out of the car, there was no fire nearby. How long has it been before it suddenly caught fire, and the fire spread to the entire six-story building in an instant? Ordinary flames could not do this. Even the oldest buildings have a certain degree of heat insulation and fire prevention. How could they be completely engulfed by flames in just ten seconds?

Strange events! The New World is behind this!
Lin Jue instantly understood. He turned around abruptly and rushed towards the building, almost turning into a white shadow.

Regardless, these ordinary people are innocent, and he cannot stand by and watch them die because of the struggle between the New World and him. Although, to be precise, this was actually a scheme orchestrated by the New World to capture Sun Jiankang, and it had little to do with him.

"Help!"

"Is there anyone who can save me?!"

The residents trapped inside the building screamed in agony. The heat of the flames contorted their faces. Some, unable to bear the scorching heat inside, ran to their balconies, intending to jump.

"Don't rush! Don't rush! We have blankets here, jump on them!" Several men rushed over with a blanket, trying to get the people upstairs to jump into the blankets.

Although most people stood by and watched indifferently, some residents from the surrounding area still ran over with buckets of water. Even though the flames were instinctively terrifying, they still tried their best to control the fire.

boom!
"careful!"

Just as Lin Jue was less than thirty meters away from the building, a deafening explosion rang out. The flames enveloping the building seemed to collapse inward, then exploded in an instant, unleashing an even hotter and more terrifying heat wave.

What is the most terrifying thing at a fire scene?
There was no doubt it was an explosion, which would have caused the fire to spread rapidly and cause unimaginable damage. A building has dozens of households, but the number of explosives was unimaginable. And after the first explosion, a second explosion occurred within seconds. The entire building was shaken by the force of these two explosions and seemed on the verge of collapse at any moment.

The endless heatwave whipped up Lin Jue's white coat, making it flutter loudly. The flames reflected in his eyes, burning ever more fiercely. He could no longer hear any cries for help coming from the building. The aftershocks of the explosion alone injured many onlookers, and the fate of the residents inside was predictable.

A charred quilt fell from mid-air to Lin Jue's feet, followed by a bucket that had been blown to bits, leaving only the ring. Finally, there was a severed hand of a man with a tattoo on his arm. Lin Jue recognized it; one of the men who had dragged the quilt to save the resident who had jumped from the building had a tattoo on his arm.

"Damn it! Those bastards in the New World! They're treating human lives like a joke! That's dozens, even hundreds of lives!" The old man had already met up with Lin Jue and was now wailing hoarsely in his backpack.

"Zhou Yue, kill them all." He Wen spoke at this moment, her tone full of coldness.

One by one, the monsters "came to life" in the backpack, and the temperature around Lin Jue dropped rapidly. He stopped walking and started again, rushing resolutely into the building.

Bystanders noticed what was happening and shouted, "Doctor! Are you crazy?! Don't go in! There's bound to be another explosion!"

"Forget about him! Run! Everyone in the building is doomed! It's too dangerous here! The fire looks like it's spreading!"

All sounds disappeared from Lin Jue's ears; his eyes were filled only with the raging fire. At the same time, bright flames also ignited on his body, even more intense and scorching than the fire itself.

These flames couldn't harm him, they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes. He even remembered Blood Shadow peeking out his head and exclaiming, "These flames aren't even as good as one of yours. I wonder what kind of thing is controlling these flames."

"That's right, we'll show that guy what real flames are like later." Even the usually timid Xiao Ming spoke up at this moment.

These ghosts could all see that Lin Jue was in a very bad mood, and they all tried their best to comfort him.

As Lin Jue rushed into the building, all expressions vanished from his face. The air was filled with a pungent smell, and charred bits of flesh lay scattered on the ground—the last traces left by innocent lives.

Charred corpses were everywhere, these residents remaining in their last poses as they were engulfed in flames.

Seeing this inhumane scene, all the ghosts fell silent. They were rational and thought about things much like ordinary people. Seeing so many people die for no reason just to attract attention, their hearts were heavy, like long-dormant volcanoes about to erupt.

"Perhaps... no one can survive..." the old man said in a heavy tone.

"Let's keep looking. Maybe someone will survive," Lin Jue said calmly. He didn't linger and continued searching the building step by step.

The old man sighed. Everything inside the building was ablaze. Flames raged, and numerous small explosions followed. The entire building had become a living hell. Even the first floor, the easiest escape route, was littered with corpses. The fire came too suddenly and too quickly. By the time people reacted, all escape routes were completely blocked by the flames. Then came two massive explosions. The chances of survival were virtually zero. (End of Chapter)
