Chapter 89: Disaster
The three of them quickly arrived at the TV station.
"Wow, so many people." As soon as A-Ting got off the car, she saw the TV station entrance was crowded with people and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Are all these people here to sign up for the competition? Are there so many young people in our city who are learning this?"
Lin Zhixian also looked over and saw that there were indeed quite a lot.
San Xiangu didn't mind: "Fortune-telling is a traditional culture in our Hong Kong city, so of course there are a lot of young people who are willing to learn it. That's why there is an age limit. If the age limit is relaxed, tens of thousands of dollars would be considered a small amount."
"How many tens of thousands?!" Lin Zhixian was stunned: "Is it exaggerated?"
"What do you think?" San Xiangu rolled her eyes at her. "Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at our Pak Fuk Street, our Causeway Bay. Have you ever counted how many fortune-telling shops there are?"
Lin Zhixian shook his head.
She certainly didn't count.
"It must be at least a dozen if not a hundred," said the Three Fairies.
"Okay, I was just too surprised." Lin Zhixian said.
"Me too." Ah Ting stood beside Lin Zhixian and said, "Ah Xian, there are so many, are you afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Lin Zhixian said with a smile, "So many people have come, but how many of them are truly talented? Even if they are all talented, I am not afraid. It is my honor to be able to compete with talented people."
"Well said." Someone next to him cheered.
Lin Zhixian turned around and saw a young man about 24 or 25 years old. His skin was a little dark, but his teeth were very white. When he saw Lin Zhixian's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but blush, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."
"Don't worry. Since I dare to say it, I am not afraid of being heard." Lin Zhixian smiled: "May I know your name, sir? Are you also here to sign up for the competition?"
"Hello." The black-faced young man said shyly, "My name is Chang Chunning. Today I am here to sign up for the Xuanmen Newcomer Competition audition."
"Hello, Senior Brother Chang, my name is Lin Zhixian, and I'm also here to sign up for the Xuanmen Newcomer Contest." Lin Zhixian extended his hand toward Chang Chunning gracefully.
"Hello." Chang Chunning nervously wiped his hands on his trousers several times before reaching out and carefully holding Lin Zhixian's hand. He didn't dare to hold it properly, but just held it emptily. However, even so, it was enough to make his ears redden.
It's so innocent that it makes people want to laugh.
Lin Zhixian didn't tease him, but just smiled and said, "Since we are going the same way, why don't we go in together?"
"Okay, okay." Chang Chunning responded subconsciously.
"Please." Lin Zhixian took Sanxiangu and A Ting to the TV station.
Suddenly, she felt a panic in her heart and a sense of crisis.
She subconsciously held Sanxiangu's hand tightly and used the golden finger. An image instantly appeared in front of her eyes. A brick fell from the sky right above her head. Lin Zhixian's hair stood on end instantly. Without thinking, she pulled Sanxiangu and A Ting back a few steps.
The moment she stepped aside, there was a bang, and the brick hit the ground heavily, just a little forward of where she was before. In other words, if she had not woken up and stopped and stepped back in time, but continued to move forward, she would have been hit by the brick, her head would have been blasted, and she would have been killed directly.
After figuring it out, Lin Zhixian's face turned pale, her whole body trembled, and her legs and feet lost strength. If it weren't for the Three Fairies and A Ting, she would have collapsed to the ground.
Although she had died once in her previous life, she could not get used to death.
She is living well now, has a bright future, loves her mother, and has close friends. She can't bear to die, and she doesn't want to die.
"What's going on?" San Xiangu came to her senses and was terrified. Her voice was shaking. "Who is so heartless as to throw bricks downstairs? Aren't they afraid of killing someone?"
No, no, no, I'm afraid he just wants to kill someone!
Lin Zhixian's mind suddenly became clear from the fear. She grabbed San Xiangu and A Ting's hands and said, "Someone is murdering! Go catch the murderer!"
As soon as Lin Zhixian finished speaking, Chang Chunning's face changed and he rushed in without thinking. When he reached the stairs, he rushed up without caring whether he bumped into anyone or not.
The Three Fairies, who had been shaking like a sieve chaff, suddenly became full of energy and rushed in closely following Chang Chunning.
The two figures disappeared, and Ah Ting hadn't come back to her senses yet, with a confused look on her face: "Ah Xian, what happened?"
Lin Zhixian wanted to follow, but she was so weak that she didn't have any strength at all. She only relied on A Ting to support her so that she didn't fall down. So she could only pretend to be calm: "A brick like this can't fall down for no reason. Someone must have thrown it down on purpose to hurt people."
Someone on the stage was also scared: "I just walked in and the bricks fell down. If I had been a little bit later, I would be the one with the brains of the street. "
It just so happens that today is the first day of registration for the Xuanmen Newcomer Contest, and the TV station is packed with people inside and outside.
After these words were spoken, all the people who were nearby were terrified.
"Luckily I walked fast."
"Luckily I'm behind them, if not I would have been unable to avoid it." Behind Lin Zhixian and the others was a fat man. The fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead and suddenly remembered something. He looked at Lin Zhixian and said, "Miss, you were clearly going to go inside just now, why did you suddenly push back? Did you calculate that bricks would fall down?"
These words attracted the attention of everyone around.
"We'll talk about this later." Lin Zhixian looked around at the onlookers. "If there really is someone on the roof throwing bricks on purpose, that person must be escaping downstairs now. Does anyone know where else to go downstairs besides inside the TV station? Can we wait at the staircase and wait for the person to come?"
"I know there's a staircase over there. I'll go and guard it there."
"There's a staircase over there too. I'll guard it there too."
Several people spoke up upon hearing this, and then split up to guard the stairs.
"I want to see what kind of person is so heartless that he dares to harm people in the street."
Someone said angrily.
"What's going on? What are you making so much noise for?" The noise outside attracted the attention of the staff, who came out and scolded them.
Lin Zhixian stepped forward and pointed at the bricks on the ground and said, "Just now someone threw a brick from the roof and almost killed someone. We have already gone upstairs to arrest the person. Please also call the police as soon as possible and let the police catch this deranged person to prevent more innocent people from getting hurt."
"What?" The staff member's face changed when he heard this, and he looked at the bricks that had been broken into a pile on the ground: "Wait a moment, I'll take care of it immediately."
The staff turned around and ran inside to find the person in charge.
Ah Ting was so angry that she shouted, "Who are you? We were almost crushed to death just now, and now our arms and legs are weak and our whole body is weak. You didn't tell us to go in and find a chair to sit down and give us a cup of hot tea to warm our hearts, but you just left like that? Are all the people in your TV station so inhumane?"
