Strands of golden light as thin as hair floated over, and the director of the school, who was originally full of anger, froze in his expression, and his eyes began to wander, as if he was lost in memories.

Soon, suppressed crying sounds were heard. Su Chen looked at them and said, "You want to go home? I can take you back and help you reincarnate normally."

"You are trapped here, and what you have been longing for is to get out and find freedom, instead of repeating the tragic death process of that year over and over again."

The principal looked a little overwhelmed. He remembered what had happened, but according to the school's fire protection conditions, such a thing should not have happened.

"Classmate, I want to know why the fire got out of control and where the source was."

"Die, I want to die with a clear conscience. I don't understand why this happened. Back then, our school was famous and at its peak, so firefighting was naturally very important to us."

"Even if there was a fire, it should have been brought under control quickly."

Su Chen looked at the big willow tree that was now standing still and said calmly, "When you were alive before, didn't you feel that there was something wrong with this tree?"

"Something's wrong?"

The principal tried hard to recall the situation, and finally remembered it. He stared at the big willow tree and said, "I remember that this tree has remained like this since I came to work."

"It has leaves in winter and no buds in spring, just like a specimen. So what does the fire at our school have to do with it?"

Su Chen sighed: "It is related, because it was it that started the fire, and it was also it that created the illusion and bewitched those people, causing them to not put out the fire and letting it run rampant."

"Of those who died, part of their souls were devoured by it, and the rest were controlled by it, constantly looking for new people to sacrifice for it. Now you understand."

The director of the school gave a wry smile and said, "I see. What do we need to do then?"

The red-lipped woman pushed the man away and sneered, "You listened to his nonsense. There's nothing wrong with what we're doing now. As long as we behave well, we won't suffer the same pain as when we were burned to death that day."

"Come on, let's kill him, and he'll let us go."

"...!!"

Su Chen raised his head to look at the dark clouds, then slowly moved away from the big willow tree. He turned his head to look at them and said, "Are you sure you want to go against me? You will bear the consequences at your own risk."

"Especially you, you killed quite a few people."

The red-lipped woman said with a ferocious expression, "What does it have to do with you? When we died innocently, no one came to save us. Now it's just a random boy."

"What do you think you can do? You are no match for it, and we won't help you. We just want to survive."

"Oh, let's try it then."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of thunder above his head. Lightning bolts as thick as wrists struck the willow tree without any warning, but it seemed as if they were blocked by something and could not fall down.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Barrier? You, this willow tree, are quite interesting. If you were allowed to live for another few hundred years, you could really leave here and cause trouble for others."

Seeing that it couldn't strike down, thunder began to brew above, and thicker lightning struck directly down. A faint sound of something shattering was heard, followed by several lightning bolts falling down.

The wind blew across his face, and Su Chen just watched quietly.

The big willow tree was struck black and began to burn. Lightning bolts struck it again, as if it was determined to kill the tree completely. A deep pit appeared in its place.

The roots of the trees were exposed, along with piles of white bones on them.

At first glance, everything was white. I don’t know how many people died.

The crackling sound continued to ring out. Su Chen looked up and whispered, "You guys want to come with me? I'll take you out. This place is about to collapse and we can't stay here any longer."

After saying that, without waiting for them to speak, he took out a gourd, collected all the souls, and ran towards the gate. The sound of houses collapsing could be heard behind him.
