March of the Year of the Rat.

The holy land of the eastern soil, in the territory of the Yan country, the city that never sleeps.

Criss-crossed by transportation facilities, high-rise buildings, large screens showing various advertisements, and ubiquitous neon lights, illuminating in the endless stream of vehicles and crowded people, the night that should be quiet is as noisy as the day.

Some people are happy and some people are worried, in the impassable Jiangcheng North subway station, there is a man with blank eyes, at this time he is struggling to drill around in the crowd, only to see his face, hair, clothes, and backpack are squeezed into some deformation, but Rao is so, he is still a long distance from the boarding gate, this distance is usually only a matter of one minute at most, but now, at least in the eyes of this man, it is like an insurmountable moat, Under the man's anxious gaze, he sent off three subways before he arrived at the boarding gate.

The man's surname is Cheng, his name is Shansheng, his family background is not very good, he dropped out of high school before he finished school, and came to Shanghai City alone to work hard. In recent years, as the national strength of Yanguo has become stronger and stronger, Shanghai City, as the first international metropolis to develop, is naturally full of various opportunities, not only so that people in China yearn for it, but also many people abroad who want to live in Shanghai City, Cheng Shansheng is naturally no exception, after leaving school, he worked as a waiter in a hotel for a few months, and after being a little richer in his pocket, he came to Shanghai City desperately.

Helpless, and no skills, when he first came to Shanghai City, he tasted all kinds of life, and he almost entered the MLM organization by the black intermediary, and finally found a small factory as an apprentice to learn some technology, but he worked as a handyman in it for half a year, working overtime every day, not to mention the hard work, and did not learn a little technology, after Cheng Shansheng came to his senses, he went to the boss to theorize, this theory is not only the salary is gone, but even the job is lost! Later, with the help of the Labor Bureau, he barely recovered some losses, and since then Cheng Shansheng vowed never to work in the factory again, changed careers and started sales.

— Phew—

"This train runs from Jiangcheng North Station to Luolan Road, and the terminal station is Jingcheng South Road, please pay attention to the time of the first and last trains." In the broadcast of the subway, Cheng Shansheng took a lot of effort to get into the overcrowded carriage.

Cheng Shansheng was squeezed into the corner, except for his head and fingers to move slightly, he couldn't move at all, let alone find a place to sit down, or change to a more comfortable position, he could only be forced to shake with the crowd, like a rootless duckweed. However, in this case, there seems to be nothing wrong with being a rootless duckweed, which is soft and caught in the crowd, and there is no need to exert effort and do not have to worry about falling.

Looking at the dense crowd in the carriage, most of them were the same as themselves, without any expression on their faces, only a very few people had vivid expressions on their faces, and Cheng Shansheng's thoughts couldn't help but drift away from the nine heavens.

Once upon a time, how could I not be a teenager who was full of hope and positive sunshine in life? Coming to this city with full of enthusiasm, Cheng Shansheng vaguely remembers his dream: to get ahead here, and then buy a big villa, return to his small mountain village in the scenery, and bring his family to live in Shanghai City, how beautiful it should be!

It's a pity that nine years have passed, Cheng Shansheng is still inactive, although the living conditions are much better than when he first came, but the salary of a few thousand yuan divides the daily expenses, and there is not much left in sending some money to the family for pocket use, so how can I buy a villa in this place where every inch of land is valuable? Isn't this a fool's dream?

This world is full of people who "strive for their dreams", but how many people do not die for their dreams? Under the tempering of life, Cheng Shansheng has long lost the passion of his youth, but as a son of man, some responsibilities are necessary for you to bear, not that you can take it for granted if you don't see hope, I don't know when Cheng Shansheng has turned himself into a 'walking corpse' who only knows how to work and make money, like this car of people, struggling at two points and one line every day, there is no end.

Just when the train was running normally, suddenly a dazzling white light lit up in the tunnel, and the already noisy carriage became more and more noisy at this time, Cheng Shansheng was forced to retract his thoughts, and followed everyone's eyes to look out the window.

Although the train is still moving at high speed, the scene outside the window is somewhat blurred, but it is not completely invisible, and the scene outside the train is no longer the original scene, and the magical scenes have replaced the original black tunnel.

I saw that outside the train, there were not only towering dangerous peaks, but also all kinds of unseen, unheard of rare beasts, and all kinds of strange people and strange things, there were strange people flying with the sword to kill the demons and monsters rampant in the world, there were Buddhist people wearing monk robes to purify all beings in the world, there were people wearing Taoist robes with extraordinary bearing to travel the world, there were craftsmen who collected spiritual essence and refining everywhere, there were strange people who caught poisons everywhere, and there were immortal wind and Taoist people who sat and realized the Tao, like the realm of immortals.

With an arrival prompt, Cheng Shansheng, who was looking at the relaxation, only felt that his eyes were dark, and when his sight recovered, there was already a crowded platform outside the train, where was there the previous bizarre scene, Cheng Shansheng rubbed his eyes, looked at the people around him, but found that the people around him seemed to have nothing happened, the passengers who were desperately squeezing up, and the passengers who were struggling to get off the train were blocked in the carriage...

"Excuse me, I'm going to get off when I get to the station!"

"Don't squeeze! Don't see no location? ”

It's still the scene that the world is not worth it.

Cheng Shansheng, who was full of doubts, gently poked a young man next to him with his fingers, and asked softly: "Excuse me, excuse me, the dazzling white light flashed just now, did you see it?" ”

"See, isn't the train coming out of the tunnel just a dazzling white light?" The young man said with a funny face.

Although the voice of the conversation between the two was not loud, especially after Cheng Shansheng asked after the young man deliberately raised his voice, there was a sound of squirming around him, Cheng Shansheng looked at it slightly, and he understood that his inexplicable question, as well as the slightly sarcastic words of the young man next to him, cleverly constituted a joke, looking at those who either couldn't help laughing, or those who had tried their best to hide their snickering, Cheng Shansheng didn't say much more, let alone explain anything, so as not to make a bigger joke.

After this little episode, Cheng Shansheng's expressionless face added a bit of gloom, and he was even more puzzled in his heart: the white light just now was seen by everyone, and everyone was looking out the window, why did these people seem to have nothing happened after a moment?

got off the subway with a heavy mind, Cheng Shansheng didn't stop for a moment, and rushed home with his head down.

Because it was very late, when Cheng Shansheng arrived at the gate of the community, he looked at the closed door and sighed in his heart: "That's really the case!" "I thought that I had lived in this community for almost two years, and I didn't come back once or twice at this point in time, but every time I asked the doorman to help me open the door, I still couldn't avoid some interrogation, and my heart was like a hundred divine beasts rushing by.

No way! People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Cheng Shansheng walked helplessly towards the guard room.

"Eh, have you heard of Lao Wu? The richest man in our Shanghai City is dead! ”

"I said, Lao Wang, where did you hear the gossip news?"

"How can I be gossip? One of my son's friends works in the richest man's business, and he said that can he still be fake? ”

The richest man in Shanghai City died? Cheng Shansheng hadn't completely approached the guard room, but he heard such news from inside the house, listening to what the two security guards inside said, Cheng Shansheng's heart moved, so he didn't rush to call them to open the door, but secretly got closer and continued to listen.

"Lao Wang, this medicine can't be taken indiscriminately, and words can't be said indiscriminately, why don't you know it when you're so old! Can the matter of the richest man be a trivial matter? Such a big thing has not even been reported on the news, how dare you talk nonsense? ”

"Oh, you guy! It's really stubborn, what era is it now, why don't you know how to work around at all? Can I not know that this is a big deal? It is precisely because it is a big event that the media does not dare to report it easily, this is the richest man in Shanghai City! What a sensation he must have caused when he died, my son said that once the news is released, the entire financial circle will be affected! If I hadn't seen you staring at that stock market every day, I wouldn't have told you about it. ”

"Okay, okay, if you want to speculate in stocks, tell me, why are you making up such a big story? With our friendship over the years, as long as you open your mouth, can I still teach you? ”

"Who wants to see that thing of yours, anyway, I'm reminding you, if you don't believe it, forget it."

The topic is basically over here, and there is no nutritious topic to listen to, so Cheng Shansheng walked straight to the door and knocked lightly.

As soon as the door opened, an old man who looked like a security guard appeared in front of Cheng Shansheng, Cheng Shansheng smiled unconsciously and said, "Master Wang, I'm working overtime again today, please help me open them!" ”

"You young man, why do you always come back so late, don't you know that our community closes at ten o'clock?" Master Wang looked at Cheng Shansheng with an unkind expression, and said fiercely.

Master Wang was scolded by Master Wu just now, and now he must be angry, Cheng Shansheng naturally would not be stupid to touch this moldy head, and said very sincerely: "Alas, this is not the company's overtime!" No way, I don't want to trouble you! ”

Seeing that Cheng Shansheng had such a good attitude, and he was originally a resident in this community, it was not good to go too far, Master Wang's face softened a little, took a folder from the desk on the side, and said: "Your company is too, you work overtime so late, say it!" Which building, which floor, which room you live in? ”

"Room 303, Building 23."

"What's your name?"

"Cheng Shansheng."
