Seeing these buildings felt both familiar and strange.
He never imagined that a month of absence would transform things so drastically.
Could it be that all his hopes were now just a fleeting dream?
Unwilling to accept this, Xiao Mo felt this was perhaps a test.
He had to seize this opportunity now.
"Damn it, A Zhi, this bank card contains all my savings. I've left it at your doorstep. Hope you don't mind, brother."
With that, he tucked the bank card under the doormat of the other's house.
Then he turned his gaze towards the twenty-story high-rise.
A sinister smile played on his lips. Was this not a test?
This time, Xiao Mo truly feared nothing. After all, he had endured storms and hardships in another world; why would he be afraid of this now?
Before long, a crowd had gathered at the base of the skyscraper. They saw a young man on the verge of jumping. His features were unclear, but he appeared to be male.
"Oh my god, what's going on? Are people still this desperate these days?"
"I think this society puts too much pressure on these young people. Sigh, I've seen it all before!"
The aunties and grandmas started chattering amongst themselves.
The crowd continued to swell, these people truly relishing a spectacle.
Some even bought melon seeds and watched leisurely, completely indifferent to the person's plight above.
"Old Man Zhang, why are you munching on melon seeds? Do you really think you're watching a play? Have you finished stewing your pig trotters?"
Old Man Zhang smiled. He had long since seen through these young people, whose choices were either love-driven despair or dissatisfaction with life.
He knew he would never truly jump.
It was simply impossible!
Grandpa Zhang chuckled and waved his hand.
Everyone believed the young man on the building wouldn't dare to jump.
He was likely just putting on a show. Perhaps his significant other would arrive soon.
The weather today was truly dismal, a chilly breeze sending a shiver down one's spine.
"Oh heavens! Can a fierce wind and pouring rain come? Better yet, let lightning strike me dead!"
No one knew what Xiao Mo was thinking or what his intentions were.
Was he trying to return home this way?
He waited for the storm, for the lightning to strike him dead. Based on his experience, this should send him back.
"Oh my! Why isn't that kid coming down yet? Could it be for real? If so, let's call the police quickly."
Fortunately, someone spoke a word of conscience. However, in this day and age, even with the thought, people were too lazy to make the call. Da Feng Novel Network.
After all, many people on this building were here due to relationship troubles.
"Oh, stop wasting your breath. He'll come down on his own if he's just bluffing."
Everyone urged each other to stop. Word spread from one to ten, then to a hundred. No one bothered to call the police. If it came to this, Xiao Mo was surely doomed.
Looking down from twenty stories high was indeed terrifying.
But no matter how terrifying, it could not stop a heart set on leaving.
This time, no matter what, he had to return to the other world. Many things awaited his attention there!
As if he had prepared everything, Xiao Mo stood there, pacing, as if to encourage himself.
"I'm not afraid, not afraid. Come on, I can do it. If I jump from here, I'm sure I can go back, according to what I read online."
He had heard it somewhere that this method could send one back to a previous time.
He had indeed seen in dramas that after an accident, one could travel to ancient times.
But it never mentioned traveling to another world!
This was truly baffling!
Xiao Mo had not looked down for a long time. He had not realized that by this time, a vast crowd had already gathered below.
My goodness, what had he done?
Why were there so many people now?
Were they all here because of him? He was just attempting to jump off a building; how could so many people have gathered?
No, this was unacceptable. He couldn't let them mock him, making him seem like he wouldn't dare to jump!
"Please hurry and leave! I don't want to hit you when I jump."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo was quite considerate.
But this time, no one believed him and no one left.
"What is he mumbling about? Is he really going to jump?"
A woman quickly took out her phone and started a live stream. Now, this was going to be a real show!
Meanwhile, on the other side, A Zhi had just finished selling seafood. When he turned around, he found the place empty.
What was going on?
Had he vanished into thin air? Just like last time.
This time, A Zhi was truly scared.
However, having learned from past experience, he quickly called the police.
He directly reported his good brother missing.
Unexpectedly, the police were called. And as they were on their way, they happened upon this scene.
"Hey, Chief, look ahead, what's happening?"
At first, the leading officer saw nothing unusual, quite accustomed to such sights. But the more he looked, the more something felt off.
Was someone really intent on jumping?
If so, this would indeed become a criminal case.
"Tao, should we get involved or not?"
How could they not get involved? This was a human life, after all. What if the person was mentally unstable?
With that, he quickly dismounted.
These people immediately rushed forward.
To their surprise, there were so many people.
"Oh my, the police have arrived! Officers, you came just in time, and so quickly! We were just about to call the police."
The auntie was quick to take charge.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
How could anyone know what was going on?
Everyone was chattering endlessly, their descriptions wildly exaggerated.
Some said it was due to unrequited love.
Others claimed mental instability.
One person even claimed to know the person, saying he was drowning in debt.
There were all sorts of theories.
"Chief, what do you think we should do? Should we call our superior?"
This was precisely an opportunity to open a case. Why would they let such a good chance slip away?
No, this time, Wu Tao decided to handle it himself. He would not let this opportunity be snatched away!
"Do you want me to break your bones? I won't use him this time!"
