Chapter 338: Splashed with Gasoline (2)
The crazy woman threw the lighter and ran away. Everyone around them was in a panic because someone had been doused with gasoline. Just as everyone’s scalps turned numb and they thought that Yang Lan and Zhen Yu were dead for sure, the lighter’s flame suddenly went out inexplicably just before it touched the gasoline, and it clattered to the ground.
Yang Lan and Zhen Yu were so scared that their bodies trembled, their limbs stiffened and their minds went blank. However, the lighter’s flame suddenly went out, and they weren’t set on fire.
But it was as if they had come back from the gates of h.e.l.l. They were limp and cold from head to toe. They couldn’t help but cry, and the more they cried, the more miserable they became.
The two were drenched in sweat; if they said they had just been pulled out of water, anyone would believe it.
The panicked people on the side heaved sighs of relief when they saw that the two girls were fine. Some took the initiative to call the police, while others took the initiative to comfort the two girls.
“Girls, you’re fine. You’re lucky that the lighter didn’t catch fire!”
Soon, the police arrived. Yang Lan and Zhen Yu hadn’t completely recovered from the fright just now, and they followed the police to the station to give their statements even as they cried wretchedly.
Only when they were giving their statements did they relax, but they didn’t have the slightest bit of strength left. When they recounted the thrilling scene just now, Yang Lan and Zhen Yu still felt their scalps tingle and their bodies turn cold at the terrifying thought of that crazy woman lighting the fire just now. Their voices and teeth trembled, and their tears fell uncontrollably. The more they cried, the more miserable they became.
Just now, the two really thought that they were dead for sure, and that they would die horribly. At the thought that they might be burned to death, how could Yang Lan and Zhen Yu remain calm?
Yang Lan, in particular, had been doused in gasoline. If that flame hadn’t gone out just now, she might have been burned to a skeleton by now. Yang Lan couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver, her heart jumping with lingering fear. She covered her mouth and continued to cry as she slowly recounted what happened.
After listening to the story, the police were also alarmed by this harrowing scene. At the same time, they felt that the two girls in front of them were really lucky.
It had to be pointed out that when a person’s goal was to set someone on fire, they would definitely have all the necessary tools. It was impossible for something to go wrong halfway. The chance of this happening was pitifully low.
Moreover, according to what the girls said, the lighter was working at first, but it suddenly went out inexplicably a second before it touched them. It had to be pointed out that a spark was enough to ignite a bit of gasoline, but the two girls didn’t burn despite being covered in gasoline. It was really strange and illogical!
The police didn’t think much of it, and just thought that the two girls were lucky.
The police learned that they were students from Yanjing University. Seeing how they had been scared out of their wits, they were prepared to personally drive them back to school, and told them to first wait for a car at the entrance. As for the case, they would let the girls know when there was progress.
Zhen Yu went out of the police station and stood at the door. She was now calmer. She took out a piece of paper from her pocket and was about to wipe Yang Lan’s face with it as she comforted her. “Yang Lan, don’t cry. We’re fine!”
Who would have thought that she would pull out a black talisman? For some reason, Zhen Yu suddenly remembered Shuyan’s prediction about disaster befalling them. Also, why had this talisman suddenly turned black?
Zhen Yu didn’t know why, but she suddenly remembered the police saying that the lighter had suddenly and inexplicably gone out before it touched the gasoline. As a college student, she naturally had some common sense. The lighter had clearly been lit when it was thrown at them, so how could it have gone out before it touched the gasoline?
If Zhen Yu had thought that she and Yang Lan were lucky earlier. Looking at the black talisman now, Zhen Yu’s face turned deathly pale again and her whole body trembled. She suddenly yelled at Yang Lan, “Yang Lan, hurry up and take out the talisman Shuyan gave you!”
