The Ninth Block is located at the very edge of the city, and compared to the other eight blocks, it is backward and desolate, there is no neon of the city, there are few cars passing by, and even the most basic restaurants and supermarkets can only be found in the Eighth Block, which is the closest ten kilometers away.

Nine Street is best known for a row of old-fashioned apartment buildings built in the last century. Despite its age, this row of apartments still attracts many tenants with rents that are much lower than those in other districts.

Most of the tenants are young people who have just graduated and come to the city with various dreams to work hard, but they are demoted by the high housing prices and prices, so they can only choose to settle here temporarily. Most of the tenants leave early and return late, taking the only bus on Ninth Street to other neighborhoods to work in the early morning, and then returning on the same bus in the evening, they barely leave home except for work, have no time to socialize, no time to play, life is boring and busy for them.

There seemed to be only one exception, a red-haired young man who lived in a remote corner of the neighborhood, and although he lived in one of the most dilapidated looking houses in the whole neighborhood, the interior was very ingenious, and he had an old but clean car, perhaps because of this, he seemed to have more time than the others.

Almost everyone in the neighborhood had a relationship with him, but they didn't know him, didn't know his name, or even knew when he moved into the apartment.

There are rumors that the young man is a high-achieving college student who found a very decent job in the city center after graduation, and there are also rumors that his father is a "big man", but the son-in-law, who could have had no worries about food and clothing, chose to work alone...... There are many more similar rumors, but most of them are reasonable and unreasonable, and he himself does not care about them, so he has not explained anything.

Due to the location, the power supply in District 9 is also very unstable, but after living for a while, people gradually become accustomed to it.

It was another night without power, and the already quiet neighborhood became even quieter, and the whole street was lit only by the headlights of the red-haired young man who returned late, who was always used to go to the restaurant in the fourth block after work, and then to the bookstore in the eighth block on the way, until it was completely dark, and then drove back to his home in the ninth block.

Although it was only early autumn, the young man felt a biting cold, the cold was weird, as if it was emanating from the inside out, the young man tightened his coat, and a subtle feeling came out of his heart, which made him feel a little terrifying, parked the car and ran quickly to the apartment.

The whole corridor was pitch black, and the young man turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone to illuminate it, although he was familiar with the location of each staircase, but the foreboding of today really frightened him, even such a faint light could still make him feel a little relieved. He walked up the stairs quickly, and even felt his heart beat faster, and an inexplicable fear enveloped his heart, his hands trembled a little, and he took out the key and tried two or three times before opening the door, and finally he could breathe a sigh of relief.

With the faint light of his mobile phone, the young man fumbled for a backup light to prepare for the power outage, but the moment the light swept the room, he was terrified, and in the darkness stood a man with a dagger.

The young man's brain was blank, and for a few seconds, he couldn't react to the situation in front of him, and when he remembered that he was about to run away, the man had already rushed towards him, and the young man stepped back to dodge, but he was still taken the first step, and the man grabbed the back of his neck, with great force, so that the two were forced to get closer, almost together, and then a sharp pain came from between the ribs of the left chest.

Everything happened too fast, the young man seemed to be still thinking about what was happening, but the strength of his legs was withdrawn in a split second, he fell backwards, but the man with the knife had no intention of stopping, he pulled the blade away from the young man's body, blood gushed out, there was no pause, the second knife pierced at a similar position, but it was deeper and faster than the first knife.

After repeating it several times, the young man finally stopped resisting, or he was no longer able to resist, he just lay quietly on the ground, his dilated pupils looking hollow and terrifying.

The man's breathing was a little disturbed, his heartbeat was higher than normal, and although his usual work was not "legitimate", this was the first time such a mission. He picked up the young man's mobile phone that had fallen on the ground, and confirmed that the person in front of him had stopped beating with the light of the phone's flashlight.

The cold light shone on the young man's face, making the already bloodless face appear even paler, the man looked at the young man in front of him carefully, the red soft short hair was slightly curly, the skin was smooth and without flaws, the eyebrows were flat and the apricot eyes, the thin lips were tightly closed, it was a very affinity of physiognomy, but the face that was different from the male "masculine" clearly had a sense of "femininity". If it weren't for the young man's wider skeleton than a normal man, I'm afraid it would really be recognized as a girl.

The man cleaned up the scene by the light, and accidentally saw the lock screen photo of the young man, which was a photo of him and another woman who looked very similar to him, but the woman was more slender, but the heroism between the eyebrows even exceeded that of the young man in front of him.

Without time to think about it, the man turned off the light, took off his gloves, and turned the jacket that he was wearing backwards back to the front, he was wearing a raincoat for hiking, which was more fashionable and suitable for daily wear than ordinary raincoats, and even if it was stained with blood while "working", it would not seep out from the inside. As long as you cross in reverse, you can blend in with the crowd and leave the scene safely.

After confirming all the details, the man locked the door firmly and left without looking back.
