Chapter 1: A Strange Hourglass

Next Chapter

In the evening, it is the rush hour after work, and the traffic on the road is endless.

Xiao Zhi just squeezed out of the crowded main lane with difficulty, turned into a one-way road, and saw a middle-aged man in a windbreaker swaying over, banging, lying on the front of the car motionless.

Is it touching porcelain?

He frowned.

There are a lot of monitoring on this road, and it is not smart to choose this place to touch porcelain!

Xiao Zhi pushed the car door, came to the middle-aged man in a windbreaker, stretched out his hand and pointed to the dash cam and said, "There is a camera here, do you go by yourself, or do I call the police?" ”

The middle-aged man lying on the hood heard this and slowly raised his head......

Xiao Zhi's heart sank, and he took half a step back.

This middle-aged man's eye sockets are deep, the whites of his eyes are bloodshot, and his skin is even whiter and a little sickly.

Hearing Xiao Zhi's words, the middle-aged man struggled to prop up his body, and said hoarsely: "I don't, I'm not a ...... who touches porcelain"

As he spoke, when his eyes fell on Xiao Zhi's face, he was stunned for a moment, as if he was confirming something, and nailed Xiao Zhi for a while! Empty eyes suddenly welled up with complex emotions, fear, pain, excitement, and relief intertwined......

Trembling, he pulled out a small wooden box from his pocket.

I couldn't help but stuff it into Xiao Zhi's hand, and his voice became a little sharp: "This is for you, as my apology......"

"I don't want it." Xiao Zhi is about to return to the plug.

The two of them only stopped for a short time in the middle of the road, and there was already a circle of melon-eating people around them! I love to see the lively character, as if the gene is engraved in everyone's bones......

Seeing that Xiao Zhi didn't accept it, and seeing that there were many people around, the middle-aged man couldn't help but show a trace of anxiety in his eyes, he took out a switchblade from his pocket and aimed it at his neck, and his face showed a trace of hideousness: "You accept it, if you don't accept it, I will die here!" If I die, you won't be able to get out of it! Agitated, the tip of his knife pierced the skin of his neck, and bright red blood dripped down the blade and fell to the ground......

This is a madman!

And a little clever!

Xiao Zhi's face was pale, and he actually had such a thing!

But the middle-aged man is right, if he dies like this, I'm afraid he will be in trouble.

Xiao Zhi put his left hand into his pocket and prepared to call the police with the phone, while at the same time making himself look kinder: "Okay, don't get excited, take this thing, I'll take it, you put down the knife first...... "Delay time, when the police come, it doesn't matter if he dies or not......

Who knows, the voice just fell.

The words just said were as if some kind of oath had been fulfilled!

Xiao Zhi's eardrum suddenly stinged as if there were thousands of steel needles passing through, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he staggered a few steps in pain and leaned against the body, but the pain was very short-lived, and it lasted for more than ten seconds before slowly subsided......

What's wrong with me......

Xiao Zhi doesn't remember any medical history......

He was sweating, his fingers were trembling, and he subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man!

Behold! Because the middle-aged man who was about to commit suicide just now staggered into the crowd in the distance at this time, and quickly disappeared as the crowd crowded, as if he was afraid that someone would catch up......

This damn lunatic.

Feeling a little better, Xiao Zhi casually threw the wooden box into the trash can on the side.

Driving back to the single apartment where he lived, the middle-aged man's affairs made him panic! Maybe it would be better to take a break, ready to take off his coat, he sat down on the bed, his ass was knocked by a hard object, Xiao Zhi reached out and took it out, his pupils contracted, it was the small wooden box that was thrown into the trash can by his own hands!

Did someone send it back?

No, the time is too short, there is an access control in this community, and the door of the room is also equipped with a high-level lock cylinder, and the harsh time conditions are not enough to support this kind of thing.

But what's going on with this wooden box?

Come to think of it......

Paranormal events?

Xiao Zhi hesitated for a while, but decided to open the wooden box and take a look!

I saw that there was a small mini hourglass with fine workmanship in the box, the volume was about the same as an adult's index finger, the upper and lower ends were pitch black, cold to the touch, like metal, and in the middle was a transparent glass with a light red sand leak......

Middle-aged people threaten suicide just to give away this little toy?

Hiss!

It hurts!

Xiao Zhi's index finger brushed the hourglass with a tingling pain, and there was an extra wound on the fingertip, and blood dripped on the hourglass glass!

Strange things happened, the sand leaking that was originally a solid lump became soft and began to leak from top to bottom, and the pale red color gradually deepened, more and more red, as if it had been soaked in blood......

Intuition told Xiao Zhi.

That's not a good thing!

He looked around, hurried to the window, opened it, and threw the hourglass out with a flick of his hand! The hourglass flying in the air has completed the countdown to the sand leak!

It spreads out translucent ripples in the air!

Xiao Zhi only felt that the world was spinning, and he tried his best to retreat, but his body was pulled by the invisible suction of the hourglass, and he tripped over something under his feet and sat down on the ground......

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was a long time, maybe it was a moment.

The slightly cold wind blew his cheeks, Xiao Zhi opened his eyes, he looked around a little blankly, and his scalp slowly became numb!

He fell.

The surroundings have become a strange place!

He appeared directly on a concrete floor from a high-end bachelor apartment complex! Surrounded by tall buildings, the densely packed rooms are next to each other, like a honeycomb with square holes, and the building is in the shape of a hollow shape, and he sits in the concrete open space in the middle of the hollow building......

That hourglass!

It sent itself here?

As a modern person who has experienced the baptism of various explosive information, Xiao Zhi is not difficult to accept supernatural events!

It's just happening to myself, and it's a little hard to accept.

At this moment, he was tapped on the shoulder, and his body reflexively rolled out, and he got up in a hurry and looked back, only to see a round-faced old man in a white security uniform, with white hair and a smile on his face......

The round-faced old man scratched his cheek in embarrassment: "Look at you sitting on the ground, just say hello, are you scared, I am the administrator of this public building, everyone calls me Uncle Yan, you should be the tenant from the mainland, Xiao ...... Xiao Zhi, right? ”

Xiao Zhi was stunned, the name is correct, but what happened to the mainland tenants?

He frowned, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Uncle Yan looked Xiao Zhi up and down suspiciously: "It's not clear that you're all here?" This is the public building you have booked to live in, and I dare say that there is no more affordable place in Hong Kong than here! And law and order is first-class, and there is no such thing as a tricky boy on TV......"

Hong Kong, it turned out to be Hong Kong!

Xiao Zhi was shocked, he worked in the north, and he came to Hong Kong in the blink of an eye!

He reached into his pocket and touched it, and the hourglass was still there!

Is there any purpose for the hourglass to bring himself here?

I also wanted to get some information from this Uncle Yan's mouth, at this time, suddenly a yellowed piece of paper floated down from the sky, Xiao Zhigui reached out to catch it, the paper was very rough, the same touch as old bark, but there was a row of blood-red eye-catching small words on it: "Please survive to the end in the imaginary world of martial arts star Xiao Hao...... That is, the task is completed. ”
