A passerby in a horror movie

What Ah Jiu didn't know was that at that moment, a sixth brother was stealing from his house.

As the building manager, Uncle Yan naturally had backup keys for each apartment. Li Haotian temporarily obtained the key from the security office and headed straight for his apartment.

While passing by a storage room, they also took out the cleaning agents, disinfectants, oils, and other flammable materials they had previously discovered.

While most people were at Sister Mei's house watching the commotion, Li Haotian easily entered Ajiu's house.

Ah Jiu's house was rather messy, with many incense sticks, candles, and other bottles and jars placed in the living room, giving it a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

Moreover, the temperature inside the room was very low, at least four or five degrees lower than outside, and Li Haotian suddenly shivered.

He guessed that this was because there was a ghost in the room. In the movie, Ah-Giu avoided being taken away by ghost messengers by raising a ghost child, so it was only natural that there was a ghost in the room.

Li Haotian didn't dare to touch anything in the room.

He's just an ordinary person now, so he can't deal with ghosts.

Fortunately, he wasn't there to steal anything, so there was no need for him to touch the items inside.

Bottles of cleaning agents, oil, and alcohol were poured in, and the room was immediately filled with a pungent smell.

Li Haotian stepped outside, threw a fire inside, and then quickly closed the door.

"Splash splash".

Suddenly, a ball of flame rose in the room.

Ah Jiu's room was filled with incense, candles, and paper money. The flames quickly engulfed these things, making them grow larger. In less than two minutes, the entire room was ablaze.

"Crackling."

The urns that had been neatly arranged were also engulfed by the flames and exploded shortly afterward.

"You are like a fire in winter..."

Li Haotian, the culprit, was humming a song as he sat in the duty room with Xiaobai.

"Uncle, what are you singing?"

Xiao Bai finished drawing and stared at Li Haotian curiously.

"Cough, it's nothing, Xiaobai's drawing is really good."

Li Haotian picked up the painting and praised it, but his mind was still on the outside world.

"Wow, so much smoke! Is there a fire?"

Once the police left, the onlookers dispersed, and by then the fire in Ah Jiu's house was basically raging.

Black smoke was already billowing out of the window, which was clearly visible to the residents downstairs, who immediately called for help.

Li Haotian also ran out.

"Xiaobai, stay here and don't move. I'll go check on things."

After settling Xiaobai in, Li Haotian followed the firefighters upstairs.

A fire in a building is a serious matter, especially in an old building with few fire-fighting facilities. If the fire gets out of control, the entire building could be destroyed.

This is even more terrifying than someone dying.

So everyone rushed to get water to put out the fire, and those who knew about fire-fighting equipment also went to connect water pipes.

In their haste, no one noticed Li Haotian, who was mixed in with the crowd.

Li Haotian pretended to help, but he didn't feel any remorse for setting the fire.

Although the fire looks quite large and has already affected several neighboring houses, compared to the danger posed by zombies, this fire is nothing!

Because it was discovered in time, the fire was not allowed to spread further and was completely extinguished in less than half an hour.

Fire trucks were spraying water downstairs, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh dear, I'm exhausted. Do you think I was cursed today? There were deaths and fires..."

"Luckily it was discovered in time, otherwise my house would have been burned down."

"That damned Ajiu, why is she lighting incense and candles at home..."

Everyone was talking amongst themselves, and their expressions were not good.

Those whose homes were most affected by the fire turned pale.

Everyone knows that Ah Jiu runs an incense and candle business, so it's not surprising that a fire broke out when he had so many flammable items in his house.

Without even Li Haotian's guidance, someone pinned the blame on Ajiu.

If he weren't afraid of getting beaten up, Li Haotian would have laughed right now.

After being ravaged by fire and water, Ajiu's house was in complete disarray.

The contents inside were almost completely burned, and the urns containing the spirit children were reduced to ashes. The spirit children inside had disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, inside the police station.

Uncle Yan and Ajiu are still being questioned.

Ah Jiu sat in the room, feeling increasingly panicked for some reason, and even the police officers next to her noticed that something was wrong.

The two officers exchanged glances and sensed that Ah-Giu was acting strangely, so they were about to continue questioning him.

Just then, another police officer arrived at the door.

"Something's happened. We just got a call. Ah Jiu, your house is on fire. The firefighters are on their way..."

Before the police officer could finish speaking, Ah Jiu jumped up from his seat and, ignoring the officers, tried to run out in a panic.

"Wait, I'll take you there."

The police officers had already arranged a car to take Uncle Yan and Ah Jiu back. As for Aunt Mei, she was still in the interrogation room because she was a prime suspect.

"No!"

"Who set the fire? Who started it?!"

"what……"

Arriving at her doorstep and seeing only ruins, Ah Jiu finally snapped, her face contorted with rage as she roared at the crowd.

Especially after realizing that all the little ghosts he had raised had disappeared, Ajiu was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful of blood and slumped down at the door.

"Pfft~"

Seeing Ah Jiu vomit blood, Uncle Yan couldn't bear it and quickly comforted her.

"Ah Jiu, don't be too sad. Go and check if the money and bankbook are still there. It's okay if the things are gone, as long as you're alright."

"Yes, yes, it's good that everyone is alright. Don't keep too many incense sticks and candles at home in the future, they can easily start a fire."

Others echoed.

Fried Rice Ah You, who was standing nearby, also came over. Seeing Ah Jiu's appearance, he roughly guessed why Ah Jiu was in such a bad mood.

He was also a sorcerer, had a good relationship with Ajiu, and knew about Ajiu raising ghost children.

However, this kind of thing can't be discussed openly; all we can do is offer a few words of comfort.

However, Ah Jiu couldn't listen to any of that now. Only after he calmed down did he have the mind to analyze it.

Although his house contained many flammable materials, thanks to his arrangements, these incense sticks and candles could not possibly spontaneously combust or collapse.

Then there's only one possibility: someone set fire to his house.

However, Ajiu's cultivation level was not high enough to tell who had done it at a glance.

Therefore, this grudge cannot be avenged for the time being.

Even his plan to prolong his life was completely ruined!

However, Ah Jiu was not one to wait to die. Even without the little ghost, there were still two wronged souls in the building.

Although the twin sisters were fierce, Ah Jiu had no choice but to take a gamble.

As for the semi-finished product, Ah Dong, there's no hope left. That thing will take at least five or six more days to complete its solidification process.

Without the little devil as nourishment, he might not even make it through tonight.

Moreover, all the magical artifacts and talismans in his house had been burned to ashes, so when the ghost messengers came, he couldn't escape at all and could only place his hopes on the twin ghosts.

Li Haotian was unaware of Ajiu's plans, and even if he had known, he wouldn't have intervened.

Although Ah Jiu was a sorcerer, her cultivation level was not high. In the original series, she was even killed by Ah Dong, who had just become a zombie.

The little ghosts he raised were all wandering spirits, incomparable to the vengeful spirits of the twins. Otherwise, Ah Jiu would have taken the two sisters in long ago.

Therefore, Ajiu's chances of success are less than 10%, so there's no need for Li Haotian to create unnecessary trouble.

Even if Ajiu succeeds, Li Haotian has a way to trick him again.
