Cold sweat ran up his back, the surrounding voices were lowered, and he could hear his own heartbeat.

An Yinong raised his hands: "I don't know if you are asking for money or what. I can provide better ones for money, houses, luxury cars and famous watches, and they are completely legal."

Seeing that the person behind him didn't speak, and the thing on his back was still motionless, An Yinong continued: "If you make ill-gotten gains, you have to go into hiding. Even if you don't care, your parents, wife and children also need one." A stable environment. I promise, you'll be fine."

He had to keep calm. The more panicked he was at this time, the more courageous he was.

"Master He, you speak very nicely, but unfortunately, I don't need it. Turn left, we don't want to kill you."

An Yinong had no choice but to turn left. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw not one person but several people around him, one of them was holding a handkerchief and a glass bottle.He could already smell that smell, the smell of ether.

There were even a few of them in the crowd. These people had guns in their pockets.

At this time, the group of punk-like people had already left, and it was only then that An Yinong realized that these people looked menacing, but in fact, there was no murderous look on their faces looking for someone to fight.

From beginning to end, this was the trap set for him.

But how did they know he was out today?How did you know he would pass this way?Have you squatted for a long time?

It is impossible for these people to spend so much effort to kidnap him now to vent their anger by killing him.If it is seeking money, it must be seeking 'big wealth'.It is precisely because of this that his life is not in danger for a while, but it is hard to say after he gets the money.

"House, host?" The system climbed out and lay on An Yinong's shoulder.

"Don't be nervous, it's fine, trust me." An Yinong reassured the system, "Can you help me see what this person looks like?"

"Host, they have guns in their hands, and the person holding the gun against you is a man in his 20s, male, with a short cut, and a scar on his cheekbone." The system tremblingly reported the situation.

"Very well, thank you system."

Seeing An Yinong's calm look, for some reason, the system also calmed down.It thought, although its mall can't be opened now, but its host is 'An Yinong', he will definitely be able to.

An Yinong was pointed at a gun and walked into the alley. The three people behind him looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Boss, it's them, Wu from the Crocodile Gang..."

"Hush." ​​The boss shrank back to the other side of the alley, and the other two did the same.

They didn't come out until all these people disappeared.

"Boss, such a big battle doesn't look like an ordinary upstart. Ten thousand dollars is worth dispatching that ruthless character?" They were mixed together in the city, and at a glance they could see that the leader was the famous "Master Wu" in the city. 'Grandson, he is not someone who can be provoked by low-level gangsters like them, let alone someone who can be hired for [-] dollars.

The boss gritted his teeth: "Go back and find that kid surnamed Zhang, how dare you play us?"

An Yinong is definitely the kidnappers' favorite meat ticket, he doesn't struggle and resist, he is quiet and doesn't make noise.Also because of his 'knowledge', An Yinong's hands were tied, but he was still awake, and his mouth was not sealed.

But that's what's scary.

He saw their faces and heard their true voices... Will he be killed in the end?

An Yinong's heart was pounding, and he wanted to find someone who could help him, or a way to escape, but there was none.These people have guns in their hands, and unless he kills them in a few seconds, he can't escape.

The group of them drove around a lot of roads until they came to a strange complex of buildings.

An Yinong and the others got out of the car, and there were layers of neon lights and red paint signs in front of them, as well as layers of buildings, which felt like a strange and magical architectural forest.

This is probably the famous Walled City. The tall buildings seem to be stacked up with wood by children. They are crooked and will collapse at any time.

The gaps between the buildings are very small, and there are many additional small houses, so that when you walk between the buildings, you can't see the light when you look up. You can only see dense wires, clothes to dry and another building. house.

This is the most special piece of land in the entire Hong Kong City. It is an "enclave" in the Hong Kong City, and it has been under the jurisdiction of the mainland government so far.

Residents here do not have local household registration, and all the shops, factories, and hospitals in the area do not have business licenses from Hong Kong City. Water and electricity must be drawn from nearby street lights and public water pipes.

Many people who committed crimes in Hong Kong fled here, and over time, a large number of wanted criminals gathered here.

"This is my first time here." An Yinong seemed to have forgotten his identity as a butcher, and couldn't help but catch all the weirdness with his eyes.

"Vertical human communities, abandoning nature and being wrapped by human creations." Darkness, crowding, and no rules and order form another set of conventional rules and order...

This is a special community that many people want to preserve in future generations, but I did not expect to be lucky enough to see it with my own eyes today.

Although this series of behaviors has tentative elements, An Yinong really felt the shock. His world sounded like frenzied electronic music, and there were bright and contradictory images shining, and the drums matched his beating heartbeat. Fingers twitch involuntarily.

Abandoned corners, the last home of people with nowhere to go, where evil breeds and spreads, and hope quietly takes root.An Yinong suddenly had an inspiration.

A lot of inspiration came from his head, which had been sealed with wax for a long time, and the city in front of him took on a different look in his world: "It has a different kind of beauty."

The kidnappers who followed him couldn't help but look at him with a 'crazy' look. They have lived here for a long time, and even grew up here, and they really don't have such a strange feeling.

Outsiders avoid the Walled City like a taboo, treating it as a devil's den, where crimes are everywhere.But after staying here for a long time, I know that the Walled City is just an ordinary place to live, and if you are familiar with its rules, you will not be afraid.

"Is this the feeling of a rich man?" asked the man behind him.

This is a signal, at least at this moment, their conversation has left the mode of kidnappers and meat tickets, and entered the mode of people and people. Once they arouse their empathy, An Yinong's treatment will be much better.

"Ah?" An Yinong 'returned to his senses', "No, I draw comics, and I think this place is worth recording, whether it be with brushes or images."

"Do you draw cartoons?" Another kidnapper asked again, and he also somewhat forgot his identity as a kidnapper.

"Well, because I'm a scumbag, I have to learn a skill that can make a living." An Yinong said with a smile, "I think drawing cartoons is very good. I feel more comfortable seeing pictures than seeing words. I think When reading textbooks, I always feel that those words have grown wings and are flying.”

"So you're like this when you're reading?" The younger brother said in surprise, "When I was reading, I also felt that those words were flying."

An Yinong was also very surprised. He half-truthfully showed the expression of encountering the same kind: "Then after you read a sentence, you turned your head and couldn't remember what you just saw?"

"Yeah, yeah, I can't see it at all. Our brother Bai is different. He used to be very good at studying. If it wasn't for his lack of money...cough!" The younger brother was bumped, and he remembered his position, and immediately closed it. Picking up his smiling face, he said seriously, "Go on, don't talk."

Interrupted... But it's okay, these people have softened their attitudes.An Yinong became quiet again, and looked for the next opportunity.

They continued walking, ignorant children were running and playing in the alley, and some looked at them in surprise.

An Yinong smiled at them, and he turned to the kidnappers and said, "Can you help me cover the rope on my wrist with a piece of cloth? It will scare the children."

He saw the kidnapper who was pointing a gun at him. He was in his twenties, very young, with a short cut, and good-looking, except for a scar on his cheek.

The man with the scar looked at An Yinong and stared at the smile on his face: "The children on this street often see knives and guns, and some people even trade in front of them. You can't leave here, do you think they will be afraid? The innocence of the rich young master."

"No, I won't be able to leave here for the rest of my life. As long as you have the heart, even if you are in the mud, you can climb up to the roof to enjoy the sunshine. When Hong Kong City returns, we are one country and one family, and this place will no longer be what it is now."

An Yinong said with certainty, as if his eyes traveled through history and found the answer from the future.

There are many historical reasons for the existence of the Walled City, and the political game between the two countries is also one of them.

The foreign government once wanted to demolish this place, but it was resisted by local residents and protested by the regime from the mainland.At that time, the mainland government emphasized that the Walled City is the inherent land of the Chinese, and the jurisdiction belongs to the Chinese government.

After that, the demolition plan fell through.

However, when An Yinong said these words at this time, he was not discussing the reasons for the existence of the Walled City. His purpose was to 'one country, one family'.

He wanted to tell these people that they were compatriots, and that he was just an ordinary person just like them, who had all kinds of troubles, dreams, emotions, and joys just like them.

Don't think of him as a sum of money, he is a person.

The man with the scar stared closely at An Yinong. After a while, he turned his head and said, "Find him a piece of cloth."

After a while they found a not-so-clean silk scarf and covered the rope around his wrist, An Yinong continued walking in the alley.

Because there is no light all year round, there is water in the alley, the walls on both sides are covered with moss, and mice crawled across it as if no one was there.Walking inside, he vaguely smelled the stench of underground drains.

The alleys in the Walled City extend in all directions, and the buildings here are similar. They are all superimposed with layers of illegal buildings. If it is the first time for a person to enter here, I am afraid that it is easy to get lost.

An Yinong's ability to recognize the way is not bad, but after walking for a while, he can't remember the way he came from.These people led him around deliberately, and he gave up the idea of ​​writing down the road map, and instead paid attention to the iconic things around him.

They had already walked out of the alley and reached a slightly larger road, where they could see the sky and dense antennas on the roofs on both sides.

Suddenly, a roar came from far to near, and An Yinong was still wondering why the sound was so familiar, when he saw a plane passing by in the sky, and a huge shadow also passed over him—the first time he was away from the plane in flight. The plane is so close that it seems as if you can touch it with your hand.

Airplanes, aerials like bushes, buildings built vertically and horizontally, gates covered with advertising paper, some broken couplets and red lanterns, flowers poking out of window fences...

This place has a different kind of vitality, as if images of giant whales swimming across the sky and punk planets appeared in An Yinong's mind, and weird tunes full of electronic music elements played.

Seeing that he was not moving, the man with the scar wanted to call him, but he stopped when he saw those eyes that seemed to be shining with light.It wasn't until An Yinong lowered his raised head that he hummed lightly: "People in the city are rare and strange."

An Yinong smiled at him: "Thank you."

The man with the scar was stunned for a moment, trying to say something, but his mouth opened and closed again.

After passing through the walled city, they changed cars. An Yinong sat in the car and watched the scenery along the way.He saw the coast, the reefs, the seabirds of prey, and the sea under the hot sun.

A kidnapper took out a can of beer and a bottle of water and asked An Yinong if he was thirsty. The driver also turned on the radio and played music.If it wasn't for the fact that his hands were tied, he would have seemed like an 'invited' guest.

Soon, we arrived at our destination.
