Chapter 1 Time Comes and Goes

Next Chapter

When the moon is in the sky, the streets are full of lights.

Haizhou City on a summer night is filled with the glitzy atmosphere of drunken gold fans.

The young man with a few extra soft girl coins in his wallet was either staying in the Internet cafΓ© or soaking in the bar on such a good night.

However, Yang Cheng is obviously not among them.

As a glorious new era of no house, no car, no deposit and no moonlight family, at the end of each month, the bank credit card to urge the repayment of the deadly series of calls, the landlord to urge the rent to block the door every day, the girlfriend wants to buy this and that, and the nagging of the parents, will always chase Yang Cheng physically and mentally haggard, mentally exhausted, depressed and unhappy.

On the crowded bus, Yang Cheng sat alone at the back of the car by the window, silently looking out the window at the urban jungle that seemed to be shrouded in colorful dreamy camouflage and made of reinforced concrete, letting the sultry evening breeze blow the ends of his black hair backwards.

Whenever he was in a bad mood, Yang Cheng would often board the first bus he encountered from the rental house alone at night, no matter what the route, and sit quietly in the back of the car to enjoy the river and watch the street scenery until the last bus was late.

This relatively unique personal habit makes Yang Cheng's understanding of the geographical location of Haizhou, the provincial capital, far more familiar than that of most Haizhou locals.

With the electronic station announcing the station one after another along the road in a humanized way, the passengers get on and off the bus, the bus gradually becomes empty, and the traffic on the road is no longer crowded and difficult.

"Dawangshan Station has arrived, please get ready for passengers who get off the train, the next stop is the terminal Zhonghai University." The car speaker once again emitted the same clear sound of the woman's announcement, and the No. 109 bus slowly pulled over and stopped.

The few young men and women got up from their seats and lined up at the back door to get off the bus in an orderly manner.

Yang Cheng took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, 23:35. He hesitated slightly, then got up and got out of the car.

Dawang Mountain is a newly developed tourist resort area in Haizhou City, and it is also the highest mountain peak in Haizhou City, with an altitude of 2046.8 meters, which allows everyone who climbs the sundeck on the top of the mountain to have a panoramic view of most of Haizhou City.

After getting off the bus from the Dawangshan bus station, Yang Cheng ran all the way along the spacious and flat asphalt mountain road, and ran to the top of the mountain in one go.

"Ahh Yes! Ah......h

Standing on the edge of the fence of the viewing platform, Yang Cheng shouted loudly at the starry night sky, as if to vent all the troubles, depression and various dissatisfaction with reality in his heart.

At this time, the Dawang Mountain Viewing Platform has been chartered by Yang Cheng, and there is no second person. Yang Cheng can do whatever he wants.

After indulging in venting for about five minutes, Yang Cheng was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to stand, so he could only pant and lie on his back on the cold Huagang Stone ground, looking up at the starry sky, stunned.

……

In the depths of the endless universe, a pair of giant pupils hidden in the void slowly opened, and the deep and cangsang eyes looked through the void, looking at the direction of the Milky Way galaxy that was separated by many planes.

"Counting this era, it seems that this place has been sealed for a full ninety-nine eighty-one era. According to the evolution of the Heavenly Dao, it is time for this seal to be slowly loosened. Hey?! It's kind of interesting, there is actually a fragment left on the ancestral star of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Tower! Sure enough, the avenue is ruthless, but there is still a glimmer of life. Hehe, lucky little guy, Ancestor, I will give you a great creation today, this world has been silent for too long, too long......"

……

The constellation Ursa Major, also known as the Big Dipper, is undoubtedly the most striking and beautiful constellation in the northern sky.

Yang Cheng took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the constellations of the Big Dipper in the night sky.

With the flashing white light, a high-definition Big Dipper appeared on Yang Cheng's mobile phone screen.

At this time, the WIFI butler suddenly prompted that an unfamiliar WIFI connection was available.

Yang Cheng didn't think about it at this time, so how could there be a WIFI signal on the top of Dawang Mountain. Directly stretched out his finger and clicked on this unfamiliar WIFI signal.

"You have successfully connected to the Big Dipper Star Array, welcome to the Tianshu Star."

"Hehe, this WIFI is really funny."

Yang Cheng muttered to himself while boredly clicking on the only lighted Tianshu Star among the seven link icons of Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shake Light.

The screen soon reveals a mysterious altar with a quaint shape and a small and delicate shape.

Could it be a new game developed by which company? This open-minded buddy really has to give you a thumbs up. Yang Cheng smiled speechlessly.

After clicking on the mysterious altar icon, it prompts: "Do you want to download the client?" ”

Out of curiosity, Yang Cheng did not hesitate to click the "Yes" button.

"The download needs to bind the user's soul, is it binding?"

It's bound to a mobile phone number, Yang Cheng smiled secretly in his heart. The most common way to bind an account, a mobile phone number, uses the soul of the user as a gimmick, and this company's brain is really open.

Yang Cheng was extremely bored at this moment anyway, and after hesitating for a while, he clicked "Yes".

Before Yang Cheng's fingers left the mobile phone screen, he felt a sudden "boom" in his head, followed by the Venus in front of him, and then his eyes turned black, his head swelled, his head tilted, and he fainted.

……

6th Floor, Building 32, Area C, Huaya Garden, Shuyuan West Road, Dongtang District, Haizhou City.

A wealthy middle-aged woman in her 40s, who was wide and fat, was standing at the door of Room 601, hammering the security door with her chubby palm, so loud that it seemed that the entire door frame was shaking.

"Yang Cheng, the old lady knows that your kid is inside, you hurry up and come out for me! Don't think you can hide inside without saying a word. You won't answer your phone calls during the day, and you won't answer your phone calls at night! If you don't pay all the rent arrears today, my mother will let you get out and sleep on the road tonight! ”

"Woohoo!"

"Yo drink! You kid don't make a sound, do you? The old lady is here tonight with you, and I won't leave! The old lady doesn't believe that you can hide in it all the time and not go out! ”

Li Le, the tenant of room 602, couldn't help it, opened the door, looked at the middle-aged woman who was continuing to hammer the door with a bitter face, and said, "Sister Xia, Yang Cheng shouldn't have come back tonight." If he was in the house, he would have opened the door to you. ”

"Little Lizi, don't pretend to be a good person! Otherwise, you paid the rent owed by this kid Yang Cheng? Sister Xia sneered and glared at Li Le with a fat face full of horizontal meat.

"Don't, don't, don't! You have the right to fart when I just said it. Li Le shook his head again and again and said: "If you are not tired, you continue to knock, anyway, if you knock on the door, it is you, the landlord, who is responsible for repairing it." ”

"Yang Cheng, this kid is really not at home?" Sister Xia asked as she stared at Li Dong in disbelief.

"I went home before seven o'clock, and I haven't heard any movement from the door of 601 since I got home." Li Le yawned and nodded.

"Go to your house and move a chair for my sister to sit down for a while." Sister Xia put on a posture of wanting to fight Yang Cheng to the death, and said to Li Le: "The old lady is not here tonight and waits for Yang Cheng to come back, and the old lady will not leave!" ”

"Derler, feel free to do so." Li Le went back to the house very quickly, moved the plastic back chair out, handed it to Sister Xia with both hands, and then hurriedly flashed back to the house and closed the door.

At the same time, a black BMW 750Li slowly pulled over at the entrance of the 32-unit building in Area C.

"Mr. Tang, I'm here, thank you for sending me home." Zhuang Jing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked sideways at the middle-aged man in the driver's seat who looked to be in his thirties, with a pair of gold wire glasses on the bridge of his nose, and smiled very handsomely.

"You are working overtime in the company so late, and I should send you home as the boss of the company." Mr. Tang, a middle-aged man, smiled gently: "Let a good and beautiful girl like you go home alone late at night, in case something happens to you when you meet a bad guy on the road, my Tang Xudong's sin will be great." ”

"The financial statements are not out, and I should work overtime." Zhuang Jing raised her wrist and combed the hair next to her ears, and said with a slight smile: "It's just that every time I trouble Mr. Tang, I can't help it." ”

"What do I think of you, Zhuang Jing, you are so smart, can't you see it?" Tang Xudong looked at Zhuang Jing affectionately, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhuang Jing's slender and slender left hand.

"Mr. Tang, please don't do this." Zhuang Jing was so frightened like a frightened rabbit that she quickly pulled out her jade hand, and turned her refined jade face around, not daring to look at the middle-aged boss around her who was full of the charm of a successful man, and said slowly with a little fluttering in her eyes: "I have a boyfriend." ”

"He's just your boyfriend! Not your fiancΓ©, not your husband! Tang Xudong said quite solemnly: "What's more, even if the two of you get married, he is your husband, for a better life and a better future, you can also make the right choice!" ”

"I'm tired, goodbye, Mr. Tang."

After Zhuang Jing finished speaking, she picked up the LV handbag beside her, quickly pushed the car door, got out of the car as if she was fleeing, even forgot to close the door, and trotted all the way into the unit corridor with LV high heels.

Tang Xudong pushed the door and came out of the cab, looking at Zhuang Jing's beautiful figure who disappeared into the door of the unit from a distance, and a look of determination flashed in his bright eyes.

At the door of room 601 on the sixth floor, Sister Xia, who was sitting there playing with her mobile phone, heard the footsteps of someone downstairs going upstairs, and subconsciously got up and looked downstairs.

When Zhuang Jing's beautiful figure appeared at the corner of the stairs from the fifth floor to the sixth floor, Sister Xia couldn't help but shout: "Hard work pays off!" can't wait for Yang Cheng, this kid, and it's the same for the old lady to wait for your girlfriend! ”

"Sister Xia, who are you?" Zhuang Jing looked up at the pungent landlord in front of her while going upstairs and asked puzzled.

"Collect the rent!" Sister Xia replied loudly with a straight face.

"Hasn't Yang Cheng paid the rent yet?" Zhuang Jing asked confusedly.

"If your boyfriend had been, do you think I would have waited here so late and in the middle of the night?" Sister Xia shouted very unceremoniously: "Xiaozhuang, whether it's you or your boyfriend Yang Cheng, anyway, you two have to pay the rent to your mother tonight!" Otherwise, don't blame the old lady for throwing all your luggage out of her disregard! ”

"Are you saying that Yang Cheng hasn't come back yet?" Zhuang Jing asked incredulously.

"I don't know if your boyfriend has come back, anyway, I've been knocking on the door here for a long time, and no one has come to open the door, and I haven't heard any movement in the house." Sister Xia was obviously a little angry.

Zhuang Jing came to the door and searched for a while in her handbag but did not find the keychain.

"Strange thing, where's my key? I remember putting it in my bag! Where are my keys? ”

In the solemn voice of self-muttering in her ears, Sister Xia didn't believe anything, and said with a sneer: "Pretend, pretend, I don't believe that you won't go in and sleep tonight!" ”

Zhuang Jing couldn't quarrel with the landlord, took out his mobile phone and flipped to the number marked "Ah Cheng" from the address book, and dialed it directly.

"Sorry, the call you made is turned off......"

"How can it be turned off? Ah Cheng's mobile phone never turns off......" Zhuang Jing muttered to himself and dialed again, but the microphone still prompted: "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed has been turned off......"

"Zhuang Jing, what's wrong?" Tang Xudong asked with a caring look on his face as he strode up the stairs on the fifth floor.

"Mr. Tang, why haven't you left yet?" When Zhuang Jing saw Tang Xudong appear, she felt relieved for no reason, and said with a wry smile: "I can't find the key, I guess it was left in the office." ”

"It's all at this time, isn't your boyfriend at home?" Tang Xudong looked at the situation in front of him and asked thoughtfully.

"No one answered the knock on the door, and the phone was turned off." Zhuang Jing looked a little helpless and shook her head.

"He can't have something going on in there, right?" Tang Xudong's face turned serious and said slowly: "In these days, it is not uncommon for young people who can't bear the huge pressure brought by reality and choose to commit suicide!" ”

"Oh my god! No way!? Don't scare me......" Sister Xia heard Tang Xudong say this, and suddenly became a little aware.

"Ah Cheng shouldn't be so fragile...... Zhuang Jing muttered to herself, but no matter how she heard it, she couldn't hear the affirmative.

"Miss Xiaozhuang, don't scare me!" Sister Xia was obviously a little anxious at this time, "Yang Cheng is your boyfriend, don't you know what kind of person your boyfriend is?" Or call and ask his friends, colleagues, and classmates. Ask them if they know where Yang Cheng is......"

Zhuang Jing searched for a long time in the mobile phone address book, but did not find the contact information of Yang Cheng's friends, classmates and colleagues.

"I basically don't have any acquaintances with Ah Cheng's circle of friends...... Zhuang Jing sighed to himself. At this time, she suddenly realized that she never seemed to care about the crowd around Yang Cheng and around him.

"Lady landlord, don't you have the other keys to this house?" Tang Xudong asked aloud on the side.

"Nope!" Sister Xia shook her head with a wry smile and said, "After my house is rented out, I usually let the tenant change the lock by himself to avoid some unnecessary troubles. ”

"Why don't we call the police!" Zhuang Jing gradually lost her breath.

"The police will not receive a report of a missing person until 24 hours have passed." Tang Xudong shook his head and said, "Let's think of other ways first." ”

"Queen Mother Lafayette, Xiao Chengzi has a greeting for you! Queen Mother Lafayette, Xiao Chengzi has a greeting for you......"

In her ears, Yang Cheng helped her set the ringtone of the mobile phone, Zhuang Jing quickly pressed the answer button and shouted loudly:

"Yang Cheng, where did you die? Do you know how worried I was about you just now? Where are you now? Why don't you go home after work? Why did you turn off your phone just now? Immediately, immediately, get me back! ”

"I'm in Dawang Mountain." Yang Cheng's voice in the microphone was a little weak: "I'll be back soon." ”
