One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning

"Oh, if it really doesn't work, I'd better not work on this construction site!" sighed a worker.

"call……"

Suddenly, a cold wind blew from somewhere, and the windows creaked as if they would break at any time.

Shen Qitian hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, walked quickly to the window, and closed the window tightly.

"Damn, what kind of weather is this!" He cursed to himself, then returned to the table and picked up the teacup out of habit.

However, he was surprised to find that the tea in the cup was rapidly condensing into frost, and the freezing speed was extremely fast.

Shen Qitian was startled, and his grip loosened, causing the teacup to fall to the ground and shatter. What was even more surprising was that what came out of the teacup was not boiling hot tea, but ice cubes.

"hiss……"

Shen Qitian suddenly realized that the temperature in the room was dropping rapidly, and even thick frost was forming on the windows.

Then, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a tall shadow walking towards him vaguely in the white fog outside the window.

The shadow was at least two or three meters tall. Although it looked like a human figure, its walking movements were very distorted, like a puppet being pulled by strings. Each step was very stiff, but the speed was extremely fast.

"This...this..." Shen Qitian was so scared that he couldn't speak. He felt more and more that something was wrong with this house, and his first thought was to escape.

He tried hard to control his legs and ran to the door, opened it, and ran out. In the dim corridor, the old long light tubes flickered on and off, creating a depressing atmosphere.

Shen Qitian ran downstairs at an accelerated speed in this atmosphere. This was a temporary office built on the construction site, only two stories high. He hoped to escape from here quickly, and only by staying with other people would he feel safe.

However, he always felt that something was following him from behind, but when he looked back, he could not see anything. This fear made his breathing more rapid, his limbs numb, and his whole body cold.

Frost began to spread on the wall, as if something was driving it towards Shen Qitian. Shen Qitian ran down the stairs in a panic, constantly looking back.

But from beginning to end, there was nothing behind him except the spreading frost.

At some point, the entire building became unusually quiet. The only sounds that could be heard were Shen Qitian's hurried footsteps and occasional heavy breathing.

Finally, he was about to go downstairs, and Shen Qitian ran towards the door out of habit. However, he stopped abruptly after running two steps.

Because in front of him, there was no familiar aluminum door, but a dark corridor. From time to time, the light tube above his head would light up, but soon it would fall into darkness again.

Thick ice had already condensed on the walls and the ground, and the temperature around was getting lower and lower. An uncontrollable fear spread in Shen Qitian's heart, and only then did he realize that he was still standing on the second floor and had never gone downstairs.

But thinking back to what happened just now, Shen Qitian was sure that he had indeed gone up and down the stairs, so why did he appear here again?

"Ghost wall..." These three words suddenly popped up in Shen Qitian's mind, which made him even more panicked and he ran towards the stairs again.

This time he paid extra attention to make sure he had indeed gone downstairs. However, when he stopped again, he found that he was still on the second floor.

The strange thing is that this building only has two floors, but there is a staircase leading up next to him. Shen Qitian vaguely felt something approaching him from behind, which made him turn his head suddenly.

For just a moment, he seemed to see a woman whose body was ashen from the cold. Although it was only a fleeting moment, the feeling was very real. The woman also seemed to be very cold, with a sarcastic look in her eyes.

"Ah!" Shen Qitian completely collapsed, and he felt more and more that everything was wrong. At this time, he gritted his teeth and ran quickly towards the upward stairs, but the result was still no change.

He still appeared in the corridor on the second floor, which made Shen Qitian sit on the ground helplessly. He knew he couldn't escape. The strong mental stimulation made him laugh suddenly.

In this coldness, Shen Qitian suddenly felt hot all over. The chill disappeared, and he just wanted to take off his clothes to relieve the hot feeling. In a daze, he closed his eyes.

At this time, he had taken off all his clothes. After a while, his breathing stopped, but he still had a smile on his face.

The white mist outside the window quietly dissipated, and the members who were chatting in the next meeting room finally decided to go see the director. After all, he was their superior, so in this situation, they definitely had to go and show their presence.

Several people came to the small second floor together, opened the door and walked in. As soon as they entered the door, they felt a warm feeling.

"This room is still warm..."

"Isn't that nonsense? It's so cold today, the minister will definitely turn on the air conditioner, so of course it will be warm."

"This weather is really weird. It's only this month and it's already freezing outside."

As they talked, they walked up to the second floor. The entire second floor was quiet, with only the sound of footsteps echoing in the corridor. The lights above their heads quietly emitted a soft light, and judging from the brand new light tubes, they were obviously replaced not long ago.

"Knock, knock, knock..." The staff members came to Shen Qitian's office door and knocked, but there was no sound from inside for a long time.

"Is the Minister not here?"

"No way, I didn't see him go out."

A member of the department said this, reaching out to twist the handle out of habit.

"Click!" The door was not locked at all and it slowly opened as the handle turned.

Another wave of warmth came over, the air conditioner in Shen Qitian's office was still set at 25 degrees, making the whole room warm. However, as the staff stepped into the office, they all widened their eyes.

Shen Qitian was lying naked on the ground, his body stiff and purple. He was motionless and obviously had stopped breathing, but there was a strange smile on his face. Next to Shen Qitian was a broken teacup, and a pool of steaming tea was slowly flowing on the ground. In such a warm room, Shen Qitian was frozen to death.

"what!"

“Someone’s dead!!”

The members stood there in a daze for a few seconds, and then screams broke the tranquility of Yishan...

On the chaotic and congested streets of Tai City, an ambulance flashed red and blue lights and quickly shuttled through the traffic. Although the road was congested due to the weather, when the citizens saw the ambulance, they tried their best to make way for it to pass smoothly.

"The car seemed to be heading towards Yishan. I wonder what happened there..." People were talking about it.

Just as everyone was discussing, several police cars drove by one after another. Such a scene had not been seen in Tai City for a long time, and it aroused the curiosity of the citizens.

The police cars and ambulances followed the same route and soon stopped at the foot of Yishan.

The person who stepped out of the police car was Zhang Li, the captain of the First Action Team of the Tai City Police Department. He was in his thirties, upright and steady.

He looked back at the ambulance and saw the medical staff quickly get out and run inside carrying a stretcher.

Seeing this, the police officer next to him approached Zhang Li and whispered, "Captain, the ambulance is here. It looks like this is a serious matter..."

Zhang Li had naturally heard about the recent events in Yishan. He had not expected to receive a report from Yishan today that someone had died.

Zhang Li led his team into the scene and saw that many migrant workers had gathered in front of them, and everyone was talking about something in a low voice. Zhang Li was very confused by the sound of these discussions.

"He must have angered the gods, otherwise how could he have frozen to death?"

"Yes, this kind of person is destined to be punished by God. A life for a life..."

Zhang Li frowned when he heard this, and then patted the migrant worker who had just spoken: "What are you talking about? Who is the dead person?"

When the migrant workers saw Zhang Li in uniform, they suddenly became timid and said timidly: "It was our leader who died in the office. He froze to death..."

Zhang Li and his team members looked at each other, obviously confused. Although the temperature today was low, it was definitely not enough to freeze someone to death. And this was a construction site, and there were no cold storage facilities, so how could this happen?
With doubts, Zhang Li quickly led people to the office on the second floor. At this time, the doctor stood up and signaled others to lift the naked Shen Qitian onto the stretcher.

"Doctor!" Zhang Li quickly came to the doctor, showed his ID and asked, "What's the situation? What happened to this person?"

The doctor shook his head in confusion: "I have never seen such a strange thing. In such a warm room, this person froze to death."

"What? He really froze to death?" Zhang Li looked at the air conditioner hanging on the wall in disbelief. The temperature in this room was very suitable, how could such a thing happen?
The doctor frowned and said, "At present, the deceased has the same condition as freezing to death. He has taken off his clothes abnormally and his body is curled up... However, we cannot rule out that he has severe hypothermia and is in a state of suspended animation, so we must go back and rescue him as soon as possible."

After saying this, the doctor took the others away, leaving Zhang Li and others, as well as several members of the department who were already frightened out of their wits, in the office.

Zhang Li looked around in confusion. There was no way this place could possibly meet the conditions for freezing to death. This cause of death was too outrageous. The other police officers also showed astonishment. They could accept Shen Qitian's death for any reason, but freezing to death was the only thing they could not accept.

At this time, the doctors had already left in the ambulance to give emergency treatment to Shen Qitian. Zhang Li and the others could only suppress their doubts for the time being, hoping to ask Shen Qitian what happened after he was rescued.

The other accompanying police officers quickly questioned the other members of the department, and everyone's testimony was basically the same. They had been together all the time, and they didn't know what Shen Qitian had experienced during this period.

Zhang Li stood aside and thought about this matter. No matter how he thought about it, he felt an indescribable sense of weirdness. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard someone say "one life for another life" before. This immediately made him alert.

Therefore, Zhang Li didn't even bother to greet the other police officers. He quickly left the second floor and found the migrant workers watching below to ask, "Does your Minister Shen Qitian have other lives on his hands?"

This was Zhang Li's most instinctive understanding of the phrase "one life for another life". Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Li's words, everyone's faces showed complicated expressions. Some people even hesitated to speak, as if they wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

Seeing this, Zhang Li showed his ID and then said in a more serious tone: "Everyone, I am from the Municipal Bureau's investigation team. I hope you can answer my questions carefully. If you have anything to say, please feel free to say it. This will also help our police to solve the case faster."

Under Zhang Li's persuasion, a migrant worker who had a good relationship with Da Zhuang soon mustered up the courage to point in the direction of the cave and said, "The leader found a cave after the Taoist temple was demolished. Today, Minister Shen asked Da Zhuang to go into the cave to check, but Da Zhuang never came out again."

"What?" Zhang Li frowned. "Why didn't you call the police when this happened?"

The migrant workers were so scared that they waved their hands and said they dared not call the police because they would lose their jobs if they did.

Zhang was so angry that he was speechless. He immediately took out his flashlight and walked to the edge of the cave. Then he raised the flashlight and looked down and shouted a few times. But there was no sound or response from inside.

Zhang Li also realized that if he accidentally fell into the hole, his chances of survival would be very low. Anxious, Zhang Li immediately asked what the hole was. But all the workers said they didn't know. After the Taoist temple was demolished, the hole was discovered. No one knew what was in the hole, let alone where it led to.

Zhang Li found almost no useful clues after investigation, but now he learned that an employee was missing. He thought that he would report the matter as soon as he returned to the city bureau. After all, this was a life and he couldn't give up so hastily.

Therefore, Zhang Li directly ordered the other police officers to split into two groups. Several police officers went back to report the matter first, while he went to the hospital to check on Shen Qitian's condition. After driving all the way to the hospital, Zhang Li rushed in without waiting for the car to stop.

However, as soon as Zhang Li rushed into the hospital, he saw a car covered with white cloth being pushed to the basement floor. That was the hospital morgue. Being sent there meant that there was a dead person lying in the car.

"Doctor, may I ask, how is Shen Qitian doing?" Zhang Li asked anxiously.

The hospital director shook his head slightly and said solemnly, "It was too late when he was brought in. He was already dead. According to our autopsy report, this person meets all the characteristics of freezing to death."

"What?" Zhang Li had held out a glimmer of hope before, but now he had to face the cruel reality. He looked at the director in disbelief, "Doctor, how could a living person freeze to death in a room temperature of over 20 degrees?" (End of this chapter)
