Merchant of the Underworld

Chapter 26 A false alarm

At this moment, an old woman's face with disheveled hair slowly came in from outside the door, her cloudy eyes looked at us expectantly. The wrinkles on his face were like tree bark, and there was even a little blood.

Is this really a ghost?

Li Mazi had a nervous breakdown on the spot and sat down on the ground, staring at the other party in stunned silence.

"Have you seen my daughter?" the old woman suddenly spoke.

I immediately shook my head: "No, we were passing by."

"Oh." She sighed in disappointment, and climbed straight in instead of leaving.

She was wearing a black dress, which was still a little shiny in the night. The clothes were worn out and covered with mud.

The old woman's legs were bent in an abnormal posture. Needless to say, she was obviously disabled.

Yin Xinyue clung to my body and gently pulled me. I know she wants me to get out of here as soon as possible, maybe she has given up on looking for the human bone necklace.

I didn't want to stay with this person who didn't look like a human or a ghost anymore, so after she made way for us, I immediately took Li Mazi and Yin Xinyue and fled.

We just ran to the stairs and before we could go down, the old woman suddenly shouted at us: "Stop, stop!"

As soon as we heard her hoarse voice, we could no longer control our inner fear and ran straight downstairs.

Even though I had already reached the sixth floor, the sharp roar still sounded in my ears: "Come back, come back, I know you have seen my daughter."

It wasn't until we reached the fifth floor that we finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn, it’s so scary. Are there really ghosts under the sky?

"Little handsome boy, come over and play for a while." Just when we stopped to rest, a charming voice suddenly came to my ears.

I was stunned for a moment and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

A scantily clad red-haired girl was ogling me. The corners of her mouth were full of blood, and she licked her lips with her tongue very charmingly.

I was shocked, why did another vampire appear? Without saying anything, she grabbed Yin Xinyue's hand and ran downstairs.

"Little handsome boy, let me take a sip of blood, just one sip." The red-haired girl whimpered, feeling very pitiful.

I looked back and saw that she had taken out a dagger, slit her wrist, put her mouth on it greedily and started sucking on it.

I was so frightened that I didn't dare to look anymore.

But as soon as he ran downstairs, another group of thin, bare-chested men appeared. They were carrying sharp knives, and behind them, thick white mist was lingering.

Without saying a word, they rushed towards us, apparently intending to chop us to death.

I gritted my teeth and could only drag Yin Xinyue, who was crying, to continue running down.

At this moment, Yin Xinyue is simply a frail little girl.

I ran to the second floor in one breath, looked back, and was relieved to see that the group of men with knives did not catch up with me. However, they discovered that a room on the second floor had lights on and there were figures.

I didn't care too much, I just dragged Yin Xinyue and ran downstairs. As I passed that room, I took a curious look.

Looking at it this way, my scalp immediately went numb. A group of young people were skinning a wild cat. The scene was bloody and miserable howls could be heard. And the group of young men and women actually laughed with satisfaction. That unruly laughter made me feel scared.

What the hell is this Dujuan Building?

We didn't stop until we reached the street.

And I was so tired that I was out of breath. Yin Xinyue hugged me tightly, her eyes were dull and she had no energy at all.

I quickly comforted her and said it was okay.

Only then did Yin Xinyue burst into tears.

"Li Mazi, call a taxi quickly!" I turned to Li Mazi and said.

But when I turned back, I couldn't help but frown, because I found that Li Mazi had not followed.

I immediately said to Yin Xinyue: "Yin Xinyue, listen! I want to go back to rescue Li Mazi now. You can leave first when you call a taxi. If I don't call you within half an hour, let Song Longji come to rescue me. Listen do you understand?"

When Yin Xinyue heard that I was going to leave her alone on the street, she immediately panicked and pressed herself into my arms: "No, I'm scared, I'm really scared."

I said helplessly: "You must be strong now. Li Mazi is still trapped in the Dujuan Building. If I don't go, he will be dead..."

After saying that, I rushed back to Dujuan Building without any hesitation.

Although my physical strength is a little weak now, fortunately, I was prepared. I grabbed a handful of goose salt in my left hand and pulled out a paratrooper's sword in my right hand.

And when I was about to rush in, I suddenly heard Li Mazi's wailing coming from the first floor.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I heard Li Mazi scream: "Ouch, my foot is going to be broken!"

I was overjoyed and didn't know where I got the strength. I went in, picked up Li Mazi, and ran in the direction of Yin Xinyue.

When Yin Xinyue saw me, she immediately rushed up as if she saw a savior and hugged me.

I frowned and asked Yin Xinyue why she didn't call a taxi? There are more taxis than people in Hong Kong, so it should be easy to hail one.

Yin Xinyue shook her head and said that no driver dared to come to Du Juan Tower. When they heard the name of the place, they all hung up the phone.

In desperation, I had no choice but to support Li Mazi and limp back.

Li Mazi scolded me all the way, saying that I valued sex over friends and only had Yin Xinyue in my eyes.

If he hadn't been smart and slipped down the sewer pipe, he would have died in Dujuan Tower...

By the time we got back to the hotel, it was already past four in the morning.

We were frightened all the way, and now our bodies are exhausted.

I was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling and thinking quietly, which of the things we see in the building are illusions and which are real? Which ones are humans and which ones are ghosts?

After thinking about it, I still can't figure it out. I feel that I have fallen into it now. As the saying goes, the authorities are confused but the onlookers know clearly.

I thought about it carefully, and it seemed that what we gained from this trip, apart from making Yin Xinyue fall in love with me, was not to find any clues about the human bone necklace.

Yin Xinyue had fallen asleep, but she still held my arm tightly. I could only lie on the bed like this, thinking about things until dawn.

At about seven o'clock in the morning, the waiter brought breakfast. I called the two of them up and had a simple meal. After breakfast, Song Longji came over and asked us about the progress of the matter.

I don’t know how to tell Song Longji about this? If he said we saw a ghost last night, he wouldn't believe it.

On the contrary, it was Li Mazi who added fuel to the fire, saying how brave he was and how he escaped from death, just to prove himself in front of Yin Xinyue.

After Song Longji heard this, he burst out laughing, which made all of us confused.

"I originally thought that you had mastered the information about Dujuan Tower, but I didn't expect that you are still a layman." Song Longji said.

It turns out that what we encountered last night were not ghosts, but all kinds of Hong Kong people.

The red-haired girl who loves to suck blood is famous in So Uk Village. She is a pagan who believes that drinking blood will allow her to go to heaven, so she seduces men in the Cuckoo Tower every night and exchanges her body for blood.

It is a no-nonsense zone, so it is also a paradise for drug addicts. Many drug addicts will play drugs in Dujuan Building in order to find excitement.

As for why these addicts stab us with knives? I guess I just finished taking drugs, my brain is excited, and I am looking for some excitement!

And the scene we saw on the second floor is even better explained. There is a local QQ group in Hong Kong where many young men and women gather. Their hobby is to torture various small animals. They like to skin small animals alive. Whenever they hear the screams of small animals, they feel very satisfied.

All in all, So Uk Estate is a place where scum gathers. All the bad guys in Hong Kong will appear here.

Moreover, some gang fights often take place here. We are lucky not to encounter gangs today...

Song Longji's explanation completely angered Li Mazi. Li Mazi gritted his teeth and glared at him, blaming him for not making it clear to us before, which almost scared us to death.

Song Longji laughed and said: I heard your description just now, wasn't it very brave?

Li Mazi was speechless for a moment and could not speak.

I asked Song Longji again, what was the situation with the person who went from room to room knocking on the door to look for his daughter?
