Chapter 1: The Dawn Building

Next Chapter

Huaxia has a long history and profound cultural heritage. Since the beginning of the barbaric era, the inheritance of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors has been passed down for more than 5,000 years.

H City, the economic center of the southeast region of China.

High-rise buildings are towering, and the business district is prosperous.

In this bustling and busy city, it supports dreams. Some people chase fame, some people seek profit, and some people seek stability.

In the vast sea of people, a young man with a dream, wearing a gray homespun cloth, gradually drifted away.

1.85 meters tall, strong physique, and a little stubble at the corners of his mouth, although strong, he looks a little tired and sloppy. His eyelids were slightly calm, but his eyes were bright, like a beacon of hope.

Yes, his name is Aku.

A year ago, 20-year-old Ah Ku walked out of a remote and far-reaching mountain village and settled here.

Ah Ku came to H City, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the whole village.

There were only a dozen families in that small mountain village, and it was extremely poor. A few acres of thin fields, a few thatchs, and a few wisps of breeze are all.

Ah Ku vaguely remembers that when he was four years old, he was fostered by a man in black in an old farmer's house in a small mountain village. Unfortunately, after three years of living in the mountain village, the old farmer who raised him fell ill and died, leaving him alone.

Seven-year-old Ah Ku endured the invasion of hunger every day, but fortunately, the villagers had a simple temperament and could not bear to see him starve and cold, so they would take out their own little food to help Ah Ku.

Until he was ten years old, Ah Ku was taken in by the Lin family, father and son, who lived comfortably in the village.

The middle-aged man who took him in was called Lin Yuantian, and he treated Ah Ku like his own son. So, Ah Ku has a younger brother. His name is Lin Zheng and he is Lin Yuantian's only son.

Lin Zheng is two years younger than Ah Ku, the two are like brothers and sisters, and they have lived in a mountain village since childhood. Follow Lin Yuantian to the mountains to hunt and get some food for the poor mountain village.

When Ah Ku was twenty years old, he took a sum of money given to him by Lin Yuantian, and left the small mountain village alone and came to H City without telling Lin Zheng, who was a brother and sister.

He wanted to make money so that his uncles and uncles in the small mountain village would be fed and warmly clothed. Of course, he also has a secret that has been buried deep in his heart for sixteen years, and that is to find his biological parents

In an old house in H City, Ah Ku frowned, picked up a pen and book, and looked preoccupied.

After a long time, when night began to fall, Ah Ku closed a diary and put it on the bedside table.

Stand in front of the window and look at the bustling city with neon lights. Ah Ku was worried at this time, what would be waiting for him tonight?

On the yellowed walls, old and dilapidated wall clocks ticked and ticked. When the wall clock rang nine times, Ah Ku straightened up, took his mobile phone, a strong flashlight and a pair of gimbal brackets, and quietly left the house.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the bustling H market was still noisy and lively.

Ah Ku waited on the street with his gear, took a Didi taxi, and got into a black modern car.

"Master, take me to the Dawn Mansion!"

Ah Ku sat in the co-pilot and said to the driver sideways.

The owner of the Hyundai sedan was a young man about thirty years old, and when he heard what Ah Ku said, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at Ah Ku suspiciously.

"Dawn Mansion?"

"Is it the Dawn Mansion on the Second Ring Road that has been abandoned for sixteen years?"

"Hmm!" Ah Ku's face was as calm as water, and he responded lightly.

"Brother, please get off the bus, I won't take this order!"

The Hyundai owner frowned, looked flustered, and looked at Ah Ku with his eyes, very resolute.

"Why? I can pay you ten times the fare! ”

Ah Ku raised his head and looked at the owner of the car with his eyes. He was very puzzled by the performance of the car owner.

The black eyes of the Hyundai car owner couldn't help but tremble slightly, and a frightened expression appeared on his face, as if he recalled something terrible.

Twenty years ago, Hualing Group founded the Dawn Building in H City.

At that time, the Dawn Building was full of life, expanding every year, and all the people working in it were graduate students, doctoral students, and scientists. Ordinary service staff, doormen and security guards, and even more countless.

The entire Dawn Building was for the Hualing Group, according to the development momentum at that time. The Dawn Building can almost be called the landmark of H City, the city center at that time!

However, one night 16 years ago, the entire Dawn Building suddenly lost power, and after a night of emergency repairs, the power supply could not be restored.

That night, the ordinary people who worked in the Dawn Mansion were like hell on earth. Anyone who worked at the Dawn Mansion that night was no longer in their minds. As if enchanted, he kept claiming that he had seen a ghost.

At that time, there were more than 300 ordinary people working in the Dawn Building. All of these people were sane, and they all said they had seen ghosts. The H city government attaches great importance to this matter, and in order not to panic the citizens, it has put down the matter by various means.

However, the owner of the Hyundai sedan in front of him, his father, was one of the more than 300 people who were persecuted in the Dawn Mansion that year.

"There's a ghost there, I can't take you there!"

Hyundai car owners keep shaking their heads and speak in a hurried tone.

Ah Ku, who had a calm face, saw that the Hyundai car owner looked flustered, and kept muttering that there were ghosts in the Dawn Building. He gradually frowned, and his mind raced as he remembered the private message the mysterious man had sent him.

It seems that there is something wrong with the Dawn Building!

"Master, don't be afraid. All you have to do is take me to the vicinity of the Dawn Tower, and I'll walk through it alone. ”

Ah Ku smiled and smiled kindly at him.

The Hyundai owner was infected by Ah Ku's smile, slowly stabilized his mind, and kept looking at him with his eyes open. Seeing the mobile phone and gimbal stand in Ah Ku's hand, the wheathir owner's frowning brows gradually relaxed. I saw that his eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth excitedly and said, "Are you the soul exploration anchor Ah Ku?" ”

The Hyundai owner pointed his finger at Ah Ku and opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Ah Kuwan smiled, he didn't expect that he would be recognized by the driver master in front of him.

That's right, Ah Ku's profession is an online anchor. By chance, he walked out of the mountain village and became a very popular outdoor soul exploration anchor.

"It's really you!"

Hyundai car owners are very excited, and their hearts are even more surging when they see Ah Ku's acquiescence.

"Let's go, take me to the Dawn Mansion!"

The Hyundai owner looked at Ah Ku with a smile on his face. He took a deep breath, and his eyes bloomed with two sincere lights.

"There really are ghosts in the Dawn Building, and my father used to work in it. He saw a ghost in it, so he was still delirious. ”

"I've watched your live stream a few times, and I admire your guts. Now that you've decided to go to the Dawn Tower, I hope you can protect yourself! ”

The words of concern of the Hyundai owner reached Ah Ku's ears. Ah Ku smiled with relief and said to him gratefully: "Don't worry, master, I will protect myself." Still don't know what you call it? ”

"My surname is Li, and my single name is Qi."

"Brother Richie, let's go!"

Ah Ku smiled faintly, but he was uneasy in his heart.

Sitting in the car, Ah Ku's face was calm, but his heart was actually surging.

He has lived in a mountain village since he was a child, and at the age of fifteen, he and his younger brother Lin Zheng followed Lin Yuantian to the mountains to hunt. I always get up early and stay late, and there is a wasteland next to the way up the mountain, which is the cemetery where the dead are buried in the mountain village.

There is a saying about the cemetery -

He who has passed away has died,

Seeking reincarnation tends to reincarnation,

Life will come to an end, the living are forbidden, and the dead enter.

Cemetery, cloudy wind, wild grass.

Ah Ku, who was only fifteen years old at the time, was terrified. But Lin Yuantian didn't care about the gloomy atmosphere, and walked ahead every time. If he and Lin Zheng didn't keep up, they would be scolded by him.

However, sometimes, Lin Yuantian would stand in front of him, looking at the sky from afar, and stepping on the two heavens of yin and underworld. From time to time, I look at the cemetery on the side of the road and observe the changes in the sky. From time to time, he stretched out his broad palm, waiting for Ah Ku and Lin Zheng.

Gradually, I went into the mountains to hunt more often. Ah Ku and Lin Zheng also grew up slowly, and they were no longer afraid of the graves on the side of the road.

Since childhood, he has explored in the mountains in the dark night, and has cultivated the courage of Ah Ku. As for ghosts and the like, Ah Ku is not very afraid. However, for more than a year, Ah Ku walked in the dark night, shuttling through terrifying and gloomy nights. I have experienced all kinds of strange visions myself. For ghosts and gods, Ah Ku has a sense of awe. Perhaps it was because of this awe that the ghosts did not harm Ah Ku's life.

For more than a year, Ah Ku has been visiting the spirit live broadcast in the dark every day, and he is already a big anchor with hundreds of thousands of people, which can be regarded as a success. If it weren't for the search for his own parents, Ah Ku would have had the idea of retiring in his heart. Although the ghosts did not harm his life, Ah Ku felt that his body was not as good as before. Although he was physically strong, his body and mind gradually weakened, as if he had lost his spirit.

Tonight may be the last live broadcast of Ah Ku. If the mysterious man hadn't deceived Ah Ku, then he would have met his biological parents tonight.

With the roar of the car, about half an hour later, Li Qi sent Ah Ku to the vicinity of the Dawn Building.

Li Qi stopped the car, took out a cigarette and handed it to Ah Ku.

"I don't smoke."

Ah Ku shook his hand and stared at the Dawn Building.

Li Qi lit a cigarette himself, took a deep breath and exhaled the thick smoke. Turning his head sideways to look at Ah Ku, he saw that his eyes were staring at the Dawn Building, his face was as calm as water, and he couldn't see the waves in Ah Ku's heart at all.

"Do you really want to go in?"

"Hmm!"

Ah Ku turned his head to look at Li Qi and smiled slightly.

In front of him is the Dawn Building, abandoned for sixteen years. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, and the glass walls of the building were already in tatters.

One day seventeen years ago, Ah Ku was just a four-year-old toddler. As for the events of seventeen years ago, Ah Ku can no longer remember clearly. But he vaguely remembered that a man in black entrusted him to an old farmer in a mountain village, and lived in the small mountain village for sixteen years with Lin Yuantian and his son, who took him in.

The mysterious man asked Ah Ku to broadcast live here tonight, could it be that the Dawn Mansion really has something to do with Ah Ku's biological parents?

Ah Ku slowly unbuckled his seat belt and let out a long sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Li Qi saw the apprehension in Ah Ku's heart.

His fingers holding the cigarette couldn't help shaking, he endured the fear in his heart, and said to Ah Ku stiffly: "I don't dare to accompany you into the Dawn Mansion, if you need it, I can wait for you here." ”

Since the haunting incident in the Dawn Mansion sixteen years ago, there has been no human population within a radius of ten miles, and even stray cats and dogs cannot be seen. What's more, it's still cloudy tonight, and even the moonlight hasn't appeared. In this gloomy atmosphere, Li Qi was able to say the words that waited for Ah Ku in place, and he had exhausted his courage.

Ah Ku glanced at Li Qi gratefully, smiled and opened the car door.

"Master, let's go. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. ”

After speaking, Ah Ku waved his hand to him, walked straight among the weeds, and walked towards the Dawn Building.

Li Qi took a sharp puff on the cigarette in his hand, threw the cigarette butt out the car window, and watched the back of Ah Ku slowly disappear.

At this moment, a mysterious voice came quietly, but Li Qi didn't seem to hear anything, turned the steering wheel and drove away.
