Chapter 14: That Night

Uncle Nine shook his head and said, "In the past, every year at this time, those of us who knew the taboo would get off work as soon as possible and hide home early, lest we find ourselves by accident. However, this year's situation is different, then, that accident, it came early and fiercely, I'm really afraid, I'm afraid that it will be my turn! ”

When An Zhi heard this, he suddenly realized why Uncle Nine persuaded her to go home early, and said that he would send her, it seems that he is really a good person. Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that she met Vina at the elevator door, and Shi Yong, who was still working overtime in the office. It stands to reason that Vena and Shi Yong are both old men of the Yongji Group, and they should all know this taboo, why didn't they go home early?

Just as she was thinking about these questions, there was a new chatter at the dinner table of Uncle Nine and theirs.

"Uncle Nine, what happened? What does it mean that an accident happens early and violently? The fat man asked.

Uncle Nine sighed a few times, paused for a while, and finally began to tell what happened to him. The things that happened not long ago while he was on night shift, and which made the security guards extremely uneasy, are what Anzhi overheard.

When he was young, Uncle Nine ran a coffin shop in his hometown, which was handed down from his ancestors, and by Uncle Nine's generation, it had been quite a few years. Because the old couple is kind and honest, the funeral supplies sold in the store are of good quality and childlike, so there are funeral people nearby, and they all prefer his things.

And for so many years, Uncle Jiu's family has been doing business related to the dead, and has more or less passed down some tricky skills, which also allows him to look at feng shui, calculate fortune, and approve eight characters for buyers from time to time. Therefore, his family's coffin shop is also a little famous in his hometown.

Later, Uncle Nine was old, his wife fell ill and passed away, leaving him alone, struggling to support the business of the store. Slowly, Uncle Nine felt powerless, but he couldn't find the right person to help, after all, his only son couldn't look down on the kind of livelihood of his ancestors, but chose a completely different way of living.

The son is in Nanyang City, which is far away from home, working to buy a house, getting married and having children, and persuades Uncle Jiu every day to leave his hometown and come to the prosperous Nanyang City to see the world and live together. After careful consideration, Uncle Jiu, who was approaching the age of Ershun, closed the coffin shop that had been in business for many years, and left his hometown to come to the city that his son liked.

When he arrived here and started to live, Uncle Nine found that the consumption in this city was amazing, and although his son and daughter-in-law worked hard every day, the income they earned could not be much after paying off the high mortgage. In addition, the little grandson's expenses are also very large, and the family's economy is often stretched, which makes Uncle Nine feel very uneasy.

So, he thought that he could still work, maybe he could find a lucrative job in Nanyang City, subsidize the family a little more, and help his son share some of the pressure. He heard from other fellow villagers that people in the city are the most taboo about life and death, but all jobs that have something to do with the dead are in urgent need of labor, so the wages are very high.

Uncle Nine had the courage to open a coffin shop, and relied on the taboos of superstition more than ordinary people, so he deliberately went to find some jobs related to the dead and with good salaries. In this way, he was recommended to Yongji Group as a security guard, to be precise, as a night security guard in the Yongji Group Building.

On the first day of work, the captain of the security brigade told him about the horror legend of this building, 1510. Uncle Nine doesn't believe in these evils, not to mention that in this regard, he has seen a little bit of the world, and after listening to the captain's story, he even decided in his heart that the accident was just a rumor spread by falsehood, and he couldn't believe it at all.

In addition, he is very satisfied with the job of night security guard, with a high salary and a good welfare package. Usually doing things, Uncle Nine is also very down-to-earth and serious, and every night he will carefully inspect the building, do detailed inspections, and do safety supervision in accordance with the requirements of the group. Not only will he not be like some lazy security guards, who will fool his work by being sloppy, but when he encounters someone who needs help, Uncle Nine will always appear as soon as possible.

Perhaps, it is this seriousness and enthusiasm that makes Uncle Nine have a very good reputation among the employees of the group, and also makes him have a high prestige among the security guards, and everyone is very willing to listen to Uncle Nine at work. Even those logistics cleaning aunts have a good relationship with him, so Uncle Nine likes to work in Yongji Group very much.

He thought that life would go on like this, but the world was unpredictable.

About a week ago, there was a heavy rain in Nanyang City, the temperature was very low that day, and the sky was still thundering from time to time. Therefore, he begged Uncle Nine to work a night shift for him, and Uncle Nine happily agreed.

Because, the weather that day was really bad, and when it was time to get off work, everyone wanted to rush home early, and almost no one stayed in the Yongji Building to work overtime. By eight o'clock in the evening, the offices in the building had been darkened, so several security guards on night duty locked the doors of the hall early and gathered in the security lounge to play cards together.

This Yongji Building of Yongji Group has a total of 36 floors. According to the Group's regulations, there are a total of six security guards on duty at night, who are mainly responsible for night security in the building. According to the regulations, from 12 o'clock at night, these six security guards have to patrol the building every 3 hours, and each is responsible for 6 floors.

That night, when everyone first started to play cards, it was still early at 12 midnight, and no one noticed anything wrong in the building, except that some people were complaining about the cold, and their hands and feet felt extremely cold. Who would have thought that when it was almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, a security guard suddenly found that the central air conditioning of the building was actually turned on, and the air outlet was exhaling cold air, no wonder the lounge was about to become an ice cellar.

It stands to reason that Yongji Group is very concerned about green energy conservation and emission reduction, and it is very strange that there is such an abnormal situation of air conditioning. So, a security guard called the infrastructure department in charge of surveillance, but no one answered there. The infrastructure section is located on the basement floor, and there are also two employees on duty every day, which is full of monitoring screens and master control computers, which play a very important role in the normal operation of the entire building.

When this sudden situation occurred that night, the security guards also felt very strange and uneasy. As it was approaching 12 midnight, the security guards could not afford to delay the task of patrolling the floor. So, after some discussion, it was decided to let two colleagues in charge of the lower floors go to the infrastructure department first.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the security lounge.
