Chapter 06 Chapter 6
As a former idol, Ning Su is not considered to be a good actor.
When their group was at its most popular, there were many filming assignments, and every time Ning Su shot something, he needed special guidance from the director or photographer.
Over time, although he was popular before, he seemed taciturn whenever he shot material, and looked like a socially anxious person who was not good at business.
In the words of fans, it is called "relying on a face to conquer the world."
However, at this moment, Ning Su's acting skills exploded.
Even though he was aware of the unusual situation on the rooftop, he still looked as if nothing had happened and had a somewhat worried expression.
Good-looking people are always lovable. Even though Ning Su was wearing a mask, his outstanding appearance was not just based on his face. The boy who had just spoken to him quickly comforted him:
"Don't worry, the security guard seems to have passed by."
"If there was a problem, they would definitely call the police."
Although everything that is happening before my eyes concerns the lives of others, since I am not the person involved, there is always a layer of personal concern between me and them.
For example, the young man who filmed the short video and his friends were more concerned about the development of the incident and whether it could bring traffic than the life of the child on the rooftop.
"Do you live here too? How about adding me so we can play together?"
——After Ning Su appeared, chatting up good-looking people became their primary motivation again.
"Sorry, my cell phone is broken, so it's a bit inconvenient." After realizing that he could not get more information from the crowd in front of him, Ning Su withdrew decisively.
At this moment, within the range of his peripheral vision, someone had already taken out a mobile phone and pretended to chat, but was actually taking a photo of him.
Ignoring the disappointed expressions of others, Ning Su moved away from the crowd and changed his position to observe.
Just as the onlookers said, a security incident suddenly occurred in the community, and the property and security responded quickly.
While they sent people upstairs to rescue people, they were also busy opening the protective net downstairs to prevent the work upstairs from going smoothly and the child from accidentally falling from the building.
In addition, some people were anxiously looking for soft materials to cover the ground to prevent the situation from developing to the worst.
"Will this thing... work?"
However, thinking of ways to take action is one thing, and whether it works is another.
Putting aside the question of whether the hastily-brought-out protective net was useful, the mere fact of a child falling from a building was dangerous enough.
Considering the height of the buildings in the community, even with the protection of a series of cushioning devices on the ground, if a child falls, he will probably suffer a great loss.
Compared to going to this step, the best way is to rescue the child from the roof.
However, looking from afar, the security guards who should have reached the rooftop long ago were still motionless.
At this time, seeing the child on the rooftop teetering on the verge of falling, the audience watching below also noticed something was wrong.
"What's going on? Why hasn't the security guard come up yet?"
"Even if the elevator is broken, we still managed to reach the top of the building, right?"
"Such a big thing, but you have no sense of responsibility..."
In the community, the conflict between residents regarding property management and security has been going on for a long time.
One party complained that the other party was not sad at work, and the latter retorted that the former owed property fees.
However, today, the failure to rescue in time obviously has nothing to do with the security responsibility - when human lives are at stake, no one dares to be negligent at this critical moment.
On the top floor where the incident happened, security guards were banging on the door leading to the rooftop.
"Oh my god, what on earth is going on?"
"Is it a ghost?"
Contrary to what most people speculated, the security guards were not unwilling to go upstairs to rescue people, but it was impossible to rescue people on the rooftop at this time.
The only iron door leading to the rooftop was unexpectedly locked.
Of course, saying "locked" is not accurate.
According to the security guard who had just gone upstairs not long ago, when he went up to inspect yesterday, the door was clearly closed normally.
But in the end, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't open the door.
"If that doesn't work, just saw off the door lock?"
The door to the rooftop had an old-fashioned lock, which was locked when the bolt was inserted. However, the lock could not be opened at this time, so the door could not be closed.
"OK."
Special times require special treatment. The security guards brought the chainsaw without hesitation.
"Just saw it." Turning on the electric saw would normally cut the door, but this little loss was nothing at this moment.
Not only that, because they were worried that the child might get hurt, the security guards even assigned one person to comfort the child from inside the door in advance so that the child would not be frightened.
However, this seemingly scientific method brought them greater spiritual shock.
The chainsaw came and the lock was broken, but the door remained motionless.
“I think there’s something wrong here…”
"I think so, too."
At this moment, the security guards, who were all over 50 years old, ignored their image, took a few steps back, and shivered collectively against the wall. Some of them even hugged each other for warmth, regardless of their image.
Everything that happened on the rooftop has not yet been spread downstairs, so naturally the people downstairs don’t know what happened on the rooftop.
However, seeing that there was no one on the rooftop, Ning Su also realized that something was wrong.
Maybe...something happened?
If it were a normal situation, Ning Su, as an ordinary person, would naturally do his duty and wait for professional rescue.
However, since he didn't know why his body had changed and he could see things that others couldn't see, then, from a certain perspective, could he no longer be able to see things from a different perspective?
Thinking of this, Ning Su looked into the distance and once again clearly saw the situation on the roof.
As time passed, the situation on the rooftop became worse and worse - the child who was stuck outside the rooftop fence and was about to fall suddenly woke up.
He seemed to realize his situation and burst into tears.
As a result, even the puppy that was biting his clothes looked a little struggling.
Even though they were several meters apart, Ning Su could vaguely sense the other person's anxiety.
We can't wait any longer.
Realizing this, Ning Su no longer waited, but acted quickly - he bypassed the crowd and sneaked into another building from another direction.
To some extent, the layout of the resettlement community makes all this possible.
Initially, in order to control land prices and reduce resettlement costs, the houses in Lijing Manor were built closely and densely, especially the building where Ning Su rented. Several units were next to each other, and the distance between buildings was very small.
Something happened in Unit 3 of the community, and the security guards sealed off Unit 3, but did not take the situation in Unit 4 into consideration.
After all, although the two buildings are close to each other, there is still a distance of one or two meters between them.
Although throwing objects cannot be prohibited at a height of more than 20 floors, no one would risk their life by jumping from one side to the other.
This gave Ning Su room to maneuver.
As if to prove this point, Ning Su had a smooth journey afterwards.
He first went upstairs from the elevator smoothly and reached the top floor, then continued climbing and reached the top floor.
Unlike the door leading to the rooftop in the building next door which could not be opened no matter how hard one tried, the lock of this building's door was also a bit stiff, but Ning Su opened it with one twist.
After opening the door, Ning Su ignored the slight sense of obstruction and quickly reached the rooftop.
In order to prevent objects from being thrown from high places and for the personal safety of residents, there was originally a barrier between the two buildings.
But over time, the shield became dilapidated due to wind and sun, and would be taken down at the slightest movement.
The distance between the two floors is clearly visible.
If rushing upstairs was an instinct, then standing here, facing the abyss-like gap between the two buildings, Ning Su had to once again face a new problem that he had avoided for a long time.
Will he continue?
He could easily pretend that nothing had happened to his body and with a little control he could blend into the crowd.
But if he crossed this line, his life would seem to take a step forward in another direction.
The peaceful life of the past will be completely torn apart like a fragile paper.
Standing on the roof, as the cold wind blew, Ning Su's originally impulsive mind suddenly became clear again.
The distance between these buildings is really high.
Could he jump over it—what if he fell?
Thinking of this, Ning Su's passion suddenly died down a bit.
However, no matter how conflicted he was, he did not have much time to hesitate in this dangerous moment - the crying of a child came from the other side, like a silent urging.
Although several meters away, he could still feel the puppy's strength growing weaker.
In addition, when the security guard next door was slow to arrive, the others finally realized something was wrong and thought of the same method, trying to break out of this building.
Should I continue or go down?
Morally speaking, Ning Su was just an ordinary passerby and there was no need for him to risk his life to save others.
only--
The thing is right in front of him, and if he doesn't do it, he will regret it.
Thinking of this, Ning Su no longer hesitated, but turned his coat over with the back facing outwards, then quickly fiddled with his hairstyle and walked out of the rooftop.
Downstairs, from a distance, the onlookers finally noticed the movement upstairs.
"Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
"Is it to save people?"
"Finally someone showed up!"
After waiting for a long time without any action from the security guards, the people below were already getting a little anxious - even if they were just bystanders, most of them had empathy, and seeing a child hanging like this, how could they not be anxious?
"Why didn't he just go upstairs from that meal? What's the point of going next door?"
Some people noticed something was wrong.
At this time, the staff who were in charge of keeping watch and maintaining order among the crowd downstairs also looked up in confusion.
Hey, that person on the roof seems a little strange.
The other party doesn't seem to be one of theirs?
However, before the security guard realized what was happening, he saw a figure on the roof of Building No. 4 walking towards the edge of the roof.
etc.
No way?
At the moment he realized what the other person might do, he actually took two steps forward and then suddenly stepped out -
The security guards' pupils trembled.
Although the distance between the buildings is not big, they are still 20 to 30 stories high!
