Chapter Ninety-Four: Shanjin Community
The magic capital at night is like day.
On the streets, there is an endless stream of pedestrians; On the busy road, horns were sounding everywhere.
With the arrival of night, people who are tired after a busy day can finally relax.
White-collar workers in office buildings have lost their jobs and left the company. Some of them in suits and leather shoes have already squeezed into the subway bus, ready to go home for dinner and rest. Some are carrying their belongings and choosing to go out to relax and decompress.
The shops on both sides of the street are brightly lit, the entrance of the snack bar is crowded, and the restaurants are full of people. There are couples, girlfriends, and a reunited family. These people have happy smiles on their faces.
In the dark, it seems that people can take off their masks and do whatever they want.
At the entrance of KTV, outside the bar, in front of the nightclub, there is a large influx of people in these places.
Of course, not all places are so prosperous.
Shanjin District is a suburb of the magic capital, and the nightlife here is not as colorful as other districts.
Shanjin Community is the first batch of communities built in the last century when the concept of commercial housing was first proposed.
It has been more than 40 years ago.
The houses here are a little old. Moreover, the houses of the last century were basically constructed of red mud bricks, and after decades of wind and rain, the wall surface of the buildings in Shanjin Community has been dilapidated.
After on-the-spot investigation and careful appraisal by the relevant departments, it took a month, and the final appraisal report showed that the buildings in Shanjin Community were already dilapidated and were all on the verge of needing to be demolished and rebuilt.
Not long after the report came out, there was a building tilting incident in the Shanjin community, although there were no casualties or property damage, but it made the residents living here worry.
After the building tilting incident, most of the residents have moved out of the Shanjin community one after another, and only the elderly who have poor family conditions or have no children choose to continue to live here.
There are a total of 44 buildings in Shanjin Community.
The number forty-four is a very unlucky number for the Chinese people. I don't know what kind of mentality the person who designed the plan was in to come up with such a number.
Of course, the numbers are strange and don't matter, the point is that the layout of the community is also very weird.
The whole community is oval in shape, with one end being the entrance and exit of the community, and the other end being backed by a barren mountain. All the buildings in Shanjin Community are lined up, facing backwards, and according to the normal planning, they should all be symmetrical four buildings in a row.
But this is not the case in Shanjin Community, starting from the entrance of the community, there are five houses in a row, a total of eight rows, and the ninth row is three rows.
Five buildings and eight rows, that's forty buildings, plus three separate buildings, for a total of forty-three houses. In this way, there seems to be one less house in Shanjin Community.
Indeed, the 44 buildings in the Shanjin community were not built together with these 43 buildings.
A hundred meters away from the last row, the forty-fourth house with the barren mountain in the background is being built here.
This house is one of the best houses in the Shanjin community, and there is a huge and wide open-air fitness place around the house, and there are many trees planted around it.
In the year when the concept of commercial housing was first introduced, this house was sold at a sky-high price.
The price of each house is a palm.
Although it is also within the Shanjin community, the residents who live in other buildings rarely have contact with the residents of this building.
After the building tilting incident, the residents living in 44 buildings moved out one after another.
Since there is no human interaction, there are no residents living here, and over time, this house that stands within the Shanjin community, but is separated from most of the buildings, has become the "forbidden land" of the Shanjin community.
Although there is a huge open space around the 44 buildings, and some fitness equipment has been added in previous years, the residents who live in the Shanjin community are reluctant to wander around.
Legend has it that on some nights, the residents of the row of buildings closest to the forty-four buildings could faintly hear strange sounds.
Voices coming from forty-four buildings.
In a flash, decades have passed.
The sound did not disappear as the residents moved out, and the familiar voice could still be heard by the residents who remained here for some time now.
Since most of the owners of the Shanjin community have moved out, the property here has become a furnishing.
Although there are many street lights on both sides of the road in the community, in most cases, the street lights on both sides of the street will not be turned on.
At this moment, in the Shanjin Community, which is shrouded in darkness, there are only a few households in Miao Miao, and the electric lights are still on, and roughly counting, the existing households in the entire community will not be more than 100. More than four-fifths of the households have moved out.
It's the height of summer, and the weather in the magic capital is very hot.
The whirring of the old air conditioner is unusually clear in the silent night sky.
The breeze can't take away the summer heat.
Only the flowers and trees on both sides of the road made a rustling sound, which was a response.
Under the quiet night sky, the entire Shanjin community did not have any abnormal behavior as usual.
It's a pity that this calm will soon be broken.
A pretty figure suddenly appeared in the night sky, standing on the rooftop of a towering building.
Dressed in white like snow, his face is covered with plain white light veil, his eyes are shining like cold stars, and the three-foot Qingfeng shakes his hand.
The woman's eyes were cold, looking at the forty-four buildings a hundred meters away, her lips opened lightly, and she said, "Is this the place?" ”
This voice is like the ice under the nine shadows, and the cold is pressing.
As the cold words fell, two pitch-black figures suddenly appeared behind her.
"Yes, Miss." A crisp male voice responded to the woman's question.
"We tracked it for more than a month, and finally determined the other party's location, which is where he is hiding." The man in the green robe waved his hand, pointed to the forty-four buildings, and said indifferently.
Hearing this, the woman did not answer, but just bowed her head to signal.
However, the man standing to her right was a little impatient.
I saw him take a step forward, wave his right arm, and his broad palm was revealed from the hem of his sleeve, and in the center of his palm, he was holding a peachwood sword. "Miss, since you have found the person behind the scenes, let me go and capture him......"
If Jiang Huo was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this person's identity.
Because the peachwood sword in this person's hand is too familiar.
Millennial lightning strikes the peachwood sword.
