I'm not a drama god

The repair shop caught fire.

Can……

How could it catch fire?

No one knows this factory better than Li Shangfeng. He didn't leave any flammable materials inside, and the shelves only had various repair tools. How could such a big fire have suddenly started?

Moreover, who was Li Shangfeng? He sniffed the air and immediately detected the faint smell of gasoline in the factory. He instantly exploded, roaring furiously:

"Who...who set the fire?!"

"Who the hell wants to die?!"

Although Li Shangfeng was furious, he had only one thought in his mind at that moment: to find Li Wanhua... He rushed through the sea of ​​fire without regard for anything else, and kicked open the door of his sister's room, which was burning fiercely. Inside, there were only various furniture pieces that had been burned to charcoal, and he did not see any trace of his sister.

He then ransacked the house, the bathroom, the dining room… With each door he kicked open, Li Shangfeng's heart pounded with anxiety, fearing that he would find a charred corpse inside…

Fortunately, he did not find Li Wanhua's body in the fire.

but,

However, there were obvious signs of a fight and dragging inside the house.

Li Shangfeng's mind went blank at this moment. Although he had made initial modifications to his body, they were still very rudimentary. Under the burning flames and the extreme feeling of suffocation, he was also approaching his limit... Without hesitation, he rushed out of the sea of ​​fire again.

"Cough cough cough cough... cough cough cough cough!!!"

In the stillness of the night, a charred figure burst out of the sea of ​​fire.

He staggered to the ground as if drunk, coughing violently. With each cough, a large amount of black smoke and grime spewed from his mouth and nose, making him look utterly disheveled.

But he didn't rest. After catching his breath, he stumbled to his feet and grabbed a pedestrian's shoulder with his charred hands!

"You've been here all along, haven't you?!"

"Have you seen my sister? She's about this tall, wearing a school uniform..."

"She might have been kidnapped... Do you know where she went???"

Passersby were clearly frightened. Being so close to a figure whose body was completely charred black, they could even feel the scorching air he exhaled as he spoke. His bloodshot and ferocious eyes were like those of a demon from hell.

"I...I don't know...it was already burning when I arrived, I don't know anything."

The passerby hurriedly replied and then turned and ran away.

"how about you?"

"You, you, and you..."

"Has anyone seen my sister?! Can anyone tell me where she went?!"

Li Shangfeng had completely broken down. He rushed towards the crowd like a madman, only to be met with horrified and fearful stares... The crowd scattered, and no one could give him an answer.

Li Shangfeng's charred and cracked face was now unrecognizable. His family's auto repair shop was burned down, but he showed no reaction. He was only worried and anxious about his sister!

Please... I beg you!

"Has anyone seen my sister...please tell me, even just a vague direction will do..."

"I'm her only family member, I have to go and save her!!"

“Please…”

"..."

Li Shangfeng's voice, which had started with angry roars, gradually turned into a humble plea. This man, who had refused the invitation from the Imperial Historian, now knelt down helplessly with a thud, waiting for even the slightest possibility...

At the top of the burning auto repair shop, Plum Blossom 8 saw this scene and pursed his lips slightly.

He seemed to have made up his mind, and stepped out...

"Plum Blossom, what are you doing?" A commune member stopped him.

“Now…only we can point him in the right direction.” Club 8 spoke in a deep voice without turning around.

"You saw it too, those people who kidnapped Li Wanhua are quite strong... Li Shangfeng is only at the second level right now, guiding him there is just sending him to his death! You're harming him!"

"Making him watch helplessly as his sister is murdered, and being unable to do anything about it, that's what's really harming him!!" Clubs 8 answered decisively. "He'd rather be a soul with a clear conscience than a cowardly coward who lives a life of incompetence... That's the kind of life he's pursuing."

The commune member stood there, stunned.

The ethereal body of Plum Blossom 8 floated down from the top of the repair shop... He didn't go looking for Li Shangfeng. There was no glass or radio here, so they had no chance of communicating.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes in the void, and his figure slowly came to a stop on the dim white lampshade of a street lamp.

“Wanhua…”

"Please..."

The fire at the auto repair shop has been extinguished.

The onlookers were also frightened away by Li Shangfeng.

Amidst billowing black smoke and the desolate ruins of the auto repair shop, a charred figure knelt on the ground with its head bowed, looking like a corpse, its eyes filled with endless regret and pain.

If he hadn't left in the middle of the night, this wouldn't have happened... Ultimately, it was his fault for not protecting Li Wanhua.

Just as Li Shangfeng was feeling extremely guilty, a slight electrical hum came from ahead.

sizzle...

Damn!

Li Shangfeng slowly raised his head, stunned, and saw a street lamp on a nearby street beginning to flicker erratically...

The dim white light, like some mysterious signal, flickered on and off in the night, then on again...

When it finally lights up

The lights have turned an eerie bright red!

Li Shangfeng was slightly taken aback.

Then came the second lamp, the third lamp...

On that deserted, desolate path, the dim white lights were quickly replaced by red, and the winding red snakes spread through the streets, all the way to the edge of the night sky.

This unbelievable scene left Li Shangfeng completely stunned. The winding red light seemed like a signal left for him by heaven, giving him direction in his most desperate and helpless moment...

Li Shangfeng didn't know why the lights had turned red. He couldn't even tell if it was an accident or if someone was helping him in this way... But without a doubt, at this moment he was like a desperate drowning man, grabbing onto any possibility that might arise at any cost!

As if by some strange twist of fate, Li Shangfeng rose from the ruins, his charred legs striding forward, following the red streetlights!

A scarlet serpent, transcending time, stretches rapidly across the night sky;

The shadowy figure raced across the boundary between reality and illusion, chasing the tail of fate...

One after another, phantom figures from the previous world guided the young Li Shangfeng under the night sky. This time, they were no longer the objects of each other's sarcastic remarks, but the young man's last guardians.

"Come on...this time, you will have no regrets." Under the night sky, Club 8 murmured to himself, watching Li Shangfeng's stubborn figure run.

"This time..."

"We are all behind you."
