I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 1 The Murder List
80s, Hong Kong, Yau Tsim Mong suburbs.

Sitting on a bench across the street from the Central Building was a young man. He didn't look outstanding, but with a simple shirt and jeans, he looked clean and tidy, giving the impression of a sunny and cheerful big boy.

The young man was named Chen Qingyuan, from the 80st century. He fell into the manhole because he stepped on the manhole cover while walking. He was pulled out by passers-by in the s.

He found himself traveling through time just like what was described in the online novel.

In the first few days after arriving in this world, Chen Qingyuan was in a trance and confused about the future. But he soon calmed down because he was blackmailed by several gangsters in the alley when he went out. He had nothing to give and was beaten up! Therefore, his mind was completely clear. Instead of being afraid of the future, it is better to take the initiative to integrate into the world!
Perhaps as a benefit of time travel, Chen Qingyuan discovered that as long as it was a language he had heard in person, he could learn it at an extremely fast speed and apply it to his own benefit.

Relying on this benefit, he completely integrated into this era in three months, and even did better than most locals. He obtained an official identity in Hong Kong through underground channels and became the manager of a real estate company in Mong Kok.

Chen Qingyuan thought he would live out his life in this era.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, I received a message on my newly bought pager, which disrupted my peaceful life.

Pagers, also known as BB machines, are a more popular way of contacting people in this era. If you want to contact someone, you can call the paging station and send a message to the designated pager number. However, in the 80s, it was not so advanced. You could only send numbers and let the other party contact you through the number...

However, Chen Qingyuan's pager, which could only receive numbers, received a message in Chinese: [Please investigate the root cause and solve the problem before all the security guards in the Central Building die.]

Chen Qingyuan conducted a covert experiment using a pager and found that only he could see the content on it, while outsiders could only see a row of zeros.

He understood that the content on the pager might be the system tasks mentioned in online novels, where travelers can get rewards after completing system tasks...

Chen Qingyuan's mentality was completely relaxed. Since the system exists, let's do it!

The world becomes exciting and fun only when there are missions!

Chen Qingyuan did not rush to the destination after seeing the mission, but used his personal connections to conduct side investigations.

After the investigation, he was completely numb...

It’s right to hope that the missions are more exciting, but isn’t the intensity a bit too high?
After investigating the Central Building, Chen Qingyuan learned that the building was completed thirty years ago. Although it was located in a prosperous area, it has always been difficult to rent out. It was only in the last six years that the office area above was rented out, but the shopping mall and basement have been idle, and much of the equipment has become outdated and cannot be used.

After inquiring, it turned out that before the construction of the Central Building, this piece of land was the base camp of a group of scammers. They cheated children everywhere and used every possible means to make profits from the children. Their methods were so cruel that it was unbearable to watch! Later, when the incident happened, the scammers ran away or were caught, but before the incident happened, they killed all the children...

This land was surveyed by a Feng Shui master, who concluded that it had a lot of Yin energy.

So they built the Central Building on it, hoping to gather popularity from all directions and dispel the negative energy. Unfortunately, the result went against their wishes. After its completion, the building could not be rented out and became deserted, which made it even more eerie.

If it were just this, Chen Qingyuan would feel better.

But when he saw the resumes of several security guards in the Central Building, his scalp instantly went numb, because these security guards all looked like popular actors in the 90s and s!
Connecting the faces of the actors with this scene and this place, Chen Qingyuan had to admit, no matter how reluctant he was, that he was not traveling to the Hong Kong of history, but to the Hong Kong of the film and television dramas...

The movie "The Murder List"!
This is a horror movie from the early 80s, telling the story of the protagonist Zhang Jinqiang, who has a bad life and a bad career, and is led by ghosts to work as a security guard in a Central building.

It turns out that the ghost took a fancy to Zhang Jinqiang's pregnant wife and wanted to use her as his womb to come to the world, but in the process he indiscriminately killed people in the building, which attracted the attention of a wizard. The two of them clashed, and the Feng Shui master could have won, but the protagonist Zhang Jinqiang held him back at the critical moment, resulting in the wizard's tragic death, and the ghost successfully came to the world, leaving an open ending.

When Chen Qingyuan learned about the movie world of this drama, he immediately went to find the mage Yue Hua, hoping to ask him for help or give him some powerful amulets. At first, Yue Hua refused and wanted to investigate and confirm before making a decision.

But he couldn't resist Chen Qingyuan's climbing to the moral high ground and giving him an impassioned speech, "pointing fingers" and giving Chen Qingyuan a copper coin that had been enshrined in front of the statue for many years as a talisman.

It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.

Chen Qingyuan felt that he was almost sunburned, so he took out the copper coin given by the wizard from his pocket, played with it for a while, put it through the square hole with a red string and hung it around his neck, then stood up and walked towards the Central Building. As the glass door opened, a cold and corrupt smell came towards him, like the smell of grass and trees rotting in the soil.

He walked into the elevator and pressed the tenth floor.

Amid the rumbling sound, it seemed as if a pair of eyes were watching him in the dark.

Chen Qingyuan looked at the elevator door calmly. Human beings are creatures with complex emotions. Emotions are both advantages and disadvantages. Only by knowing how to restrain emotional expressions can one try to stay in the upper hand!

No matter how much pressure.

Stay classy.

Ding……

The elevator door opened.

Chen Qingyuan stepped out and heard a noisy sound coming from a room beside the corridor. He walked forward and pushed the door open!

Crunch!

The noise suddenly disappeared. This was a monitoring room with a square table with a hot pot on it. Five security guards were looking at Chen Qingyuan who had suddenly arrived with a confused look on their faces.

At this time, the old security guard who was sitting against the wall stood up and asked, "What do you do?"

Chen Qingyuan gently placed his work badge on the table and said with a smile, "I am the newly appointed deputy manager of the Yau Tsim Mong Kok area of ​​Kowloon Real Estate Company. I thought that there are still many colleagues I haven't met yet, so I came here to take a look at everyone's work situation."

The old security guard's name is Lin Han, and his acquaintances call him Uncle Han. Naturally, he could not be intimidated by a few words from Chen Qingyuan, so he carefully checked his work badge.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "Hello, Manager Chen. We just happened to have a new colleague today. Since we have nothing else to do, we decided to have a hot pot to enhance our relationship and facilitate future work cooperation..."

However, whether it is reasonable or not, Chen Qingyuan has the right to veto.

The smell of hot pot filled the air. The remaining four security guards looked at each other, no one dared to speak. They all worked as security guards in such a deserted building. Except for the fat boy who had a good family background, the others were basically poor...

Seeing that Chen Qingyuan didn't respond, the fat security guard didn't react either, but just looked at everyone present silently.

He couldn't stand this atmosphere and said, "Manager, the building is so quiet. We can liven it up a bit and attract more people. You shouldn't mind, right..."
