In an instant, Ruan Qi’s head buzzed and went blank.
Everything around him was blurred at this moment, leaving only the strange and penetrating eyes of the lifeguard.
Those eyes were the past that Ruan Qi dared not recall, and the nightmare that had woken her up countless times at night.
——Jiang Chunian!
Even though his appearance had changed, Ruan Qi still recognized him for sure.
That lifeguard must be Jiang Chunian!
The person who hypnotized her was also Jiang Chunian!
Ruan Qi's face turned pale for a moment. She stood firmly in place, her legs seemed to be nailed to death, unable to move.
She stared at the man in the distance and saw the corners of his lips raised into a twisted smile.
"Sleep...sleep...my little baby..."
He seemed to be singing silently, and the smile on his lips became bigger and bigger.
Ruan Qi's face became paler and paler.
At this moment, there was a sudden scream downstairs. What followed was a deafening explosion.
Boom——!!!
The huge explosion overturned the peace of the amusement park. The ground was shaking, and the three-story building was also shaking.
Everyone on the ground screamed in panic. Countless thick smoke billowed from all directions, and everyone fell into chaos instantly.
"What's going on? Where did it explode?"
"Where did the smoke come from? How could the amusement park explode?"
"Run! Everyone, run!"
In panic, everyone had no time to find the specific location of the explosion. Everyone fled quickly in the opposite direction of the thick smoke.
Only Xi Xi, Ma and Mo Lan, went against the flow of people and rushed towards the three-story building.
On the roof of the building, Ruan Qi looked at the billowing smoke below, and her brain was dizzy.
A picture appeared in her mind. In the picture, there was also billowing smoke, but it was late at night, with firelight and smoke billowing in the thick ink-like night.
"Save me—save me!"
"It hurts! I don't want to die! Please help me!"
"You burned us to death! Why aren't you dead yet?"
A shrill scream rushed out of the screen, wrapping around Ruan Qi like a devil's claw.
Ruan Qi covered her ears, but she couldn't cover up the sound in her head.
"Woo woo woo..."
Another childish cry sounded in Ruan Qi's ears.
Ruan Qi was in a daze for a few seconds before she realized that it was Chuan Chuan who was crying.
Regardless of her fear of Jiang Chunian, she knelt down and hugged Chuanchuan.
"Little cub, don't cry." Ruan Qi's voice was hoarse.
Chuanchuan hugged her neck tightly and cried loudly: "Boss, what was the sound just now? It was so scary! I want to find my mother! I want to go home!"
Ruan Qi felt so sad when he cried.
Chuan Chuan was implicated by her. Without her, this child would not have encountered these things today.
Ruan Qi felt guilty and hugged him tightly: "Okay, I will take you home right now. Don't be afraid Chuanchuan, the boss will protect you."
After Ruan Qi finished speaking, she wanted to fasten the straps and put Chuan Chuan on her back again.
But at this moment, a chuckle floated over along the billowing smoke.
The back of Ruan Qi's head suddenly felt numb.
She had a premonition that something was wrong and raised her head suddenly——
In the distance, Jiang Chunian slowly raised a black remote control in his hand.
Ruan Qi felt bad when she saw the remote control. She put down Chuan Chuan and rushed forward.
However, no matter how fast she is, she can't catch up with Jiang Chunian's speed——
His finger pressed lightly on the black remote control.
Boom——!!!
On the roof of the third floor, around the square surrounding swimming pool, countless gravel rises into the sky.
A huge explosion, accompanied by thick smoke and billowing flames, instantly surrounded the entire roof.
The flying rocks danced wildly with the airflow of the explosion, and a stone the size of an adult man's fist flew straight towards the back of Chuan Chuan's head.
"Chuanchuan!!!"
Ruan Qi didn't care to catch Jiang Chunian, turned around and rushed towards Chuanchuan as fast as possible.
Chuan Chuan was frightened at this time and stood there stupidly crying.
Ruan Qi ignored the rocks around him and threw Chuanchuan to the ground, taking the flying rocks for him.
The stone is as big as an adult man's fist. Even though Ruan Qi is an ancient warrior, he is still a mortal body.
Such a big stone hit her hard on the back of the head, causing her head to bleed immediately.
Perhaps the emotional ups and downs were too great, and the damaged sea of consciousness collapsed again. Ruan Qi was hit on the head, and felt dizzy for a while.
Chuanchuan's cries and the sound of explosions around her still lingered in her ears. She raised her head with difficulty and saw Jiang Chunian standing on the edge of the small building through the blazing flames.
Jiang Chunian stood on the roof of the building, the only place where there was no explosion, and waved to her with a smile.
"Goodbye."
He said silently, then leaned back and jumped from the top of the building.
As Jiang Chunian left, the last place on the roof that was not exploded was also surrounded by flames.
The fire from all directions was like a ring-shaped wall of fire, trapping Ruan Qi and Chuan Chuan inside.
Ruan Qi no longer cares about pursuing Jiang Chunian.
She hugged Chuanchuan and looked at the raging fire in all directions. Her brain nerves seemed to have been severed by sharp knives one by one, and her face turned pale in pain.
Pictures flashed through her mind uncontrollably.
The thick night, the raging fire, the shrill screams...the memories that could be forgotten slowly revived in this fire——
"As a perfect porcelain doll, you should not have feelings. No. 3 and No. 5, you choose one, and I will kill him."
On the long dining table, nine-year-old Ruan Qi sat next to Jiang Chunian with an expressionless face.
At the other end of the dining table, there are two chairs with two little boys tied to each chair.
Jiang Chunian stood up with a smile. He picked up the knife on the table and walked towards the two little boys with elegant steps.
"Baby, which one do you choose?" He put the blade of the table knife against the throat of one of the little boys, "This death, or the other death?"
Both little boys cried out in fear.
Little Ruan Qi's face was pale and her lips were pursed tightly. She avoided Jiang Chunian's sight, unwilling to make a choice.
Jiang Chunian stared at her for a while, then suddenly let out a chuckle.
"Since you don't want to choose, then... kill them all."
As the words fell, the silver table knife flashed a cold light under the light.
Ruan Qi turned around hurriedly, and before she could say anything to stop him, Jiang Chunian had already inserted the knife into the throat of little boy No. 3.
In an instant, blood spurted out, and the little boy's throat made several noises, then his body tilted and fell down along the chair.
The little Ruan Qi had never seen such a cruel scene. Her tears burst out and she shook her head like crazy: "No! No! Stop!"
Poof——!
Another knife.
Jiang Chunian didn't seem to hear Ruan Qi's cry. With a move of his wrist, he lightly slit the other little boy's throat.
Blood spurted out again, and there was no other color in Xiao Ruan Qi's eyes, only blood red.
