44. Murder by trickery

‘Click’.

Opening the main switch box on the first floor, Su Wu completed all the switches.

From now on, the entire six buildings will no longer have power supply.

Those residents who are still confused and do not turn off the lights in their rooms will benefit from Su Wu's move and slow down their death.

Now, the entire Ping An Garden is covered by the Shadow Trick. Any luminous object here that casts a shadow will most likely lead to one's own death.

But at least in the dark, people are still safe.

Outside of Ping'an Garden, most of Mingzhou City, and even the entire city, was shrouded in the mysterious eyes.

Human beings living in it will inevitably face death.

Even if you are fully prepared, even if you sneak into a basement where the red light cannot shine, as long as you are still within the scope of the eye's influence, you may be killed by the eye every time the red light appears.

Therefore, compared to the Eye Trick, the area covered by the Shadow Trick is the easiest area to survive.

——As long as you don’t seek death, there is a high probability that you won’t die.

At this time, official "staff" should have entered the tenant group. They don't have the help of the simulator and understand the characteristics of the shadow.

Know that based on its characteristics, residents are reminded to close doors and windows and cut off light source transmission.

It can be seen that these staff have had experience in dealing with strange things.

They are professionals and should do more professional rescue work - although Su Wu never saw any trace of the staff in the future simulation.

But that doesn't mean they do nothing.

After all, Su Wu left Ping'an Garden and never looked back.

As early as two or three hundred years ago, the secret realm was already full of weird things. Many Dharma temples there even created various effective methods to contain and restrain weird things.

The secret realm is also part of Su Wu’s country, Taiya.

There have been strange occurrences in this region in the past. In the long and prosperous evolution of civilization in Pacific Asia, there should be some strange shadows in the interlayers of history.

If there is a problem, someone will solve it.

This is a Taiya tradition.

Otherwise, how can we explain that the ‘Emperor Bell’ in Su Wu’s hand has a strong restraining effect on shadows and zombies?

The Imperial Bell is an old object, very old.

Putting aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind, Su Wu glanced to the side and behind from the corner of his eye.

The strong and burly man quietly climbed up from the ground and faced Su Wu.

In the darkness, his eyes sparkled.

Like a wild beast hiding in the dark watching its prey.

The man had discovered Su Wu's existence long ago.

When Su Wu deliberately aggravated the sound of footsteps several times but received no response, Su Wu was sure that this person was pretending to him.

Deliberately pretending not to know his existence.

It was also to paralyze him and make him think that men were harmless passers-by.

But now, he is about to go out, and the man can't pretend anymore, and he is about to show off.

"Why don't you go out the door?"

Seeing that Su Wu had been standing at the door without any movement, the man stepped towards him.

A dagger slipped out of his sleeve, and the tip of the blade protruded an inch from his fingertips. It was hidden in the darkness. If Su Wu hadn't had night vision, he wouldn't have been able to detect it.

Su Wu suddenly turned around, faced the man, stared into the man's eyes, and said expressionlessly: "If you go out, you will die, why should I die?

I'm warning you, don't come near me again."

The man stopped as he was told, and his eyes kept scanning Su Wu's body, especially staying on Su Wu's hands for a few seconds.

He grinned, showing his white teeth: "You are the one who sent messages in the group to remind everyone to eat the cake, you are a good person.

How do you know these things are happening?

If it hadn't been for your reminder, I would have been trapped in this hellish place."

Although Su Wu had received the blessing of the Hercules Seal, and his figure was now getting taller and taller, with muscles growing under his clothes, he still could not compare with the man opposite him who looked like a humanoid beast.

Standing opposite the man, he looked like prey.

Men are like hunters.

"You react faster than ordinary people, and you made a choice that was beneficial to you at this time. I also admire you." Su Wu's tone was cold, with no emotion shown on his face.

He stared into the eyes of the man opposite him: "I see this isn't the first time you've experienced something like this.

How do you know these things?"

"Yesterday, there were several murders in Building 3, do you know that?" The man smiled playfully, and really told Su Wu what he knew, "Among the three people who died, there was a peripheral woman.

That woman is quite pretty. I heard her say that her family was poor when she was a child, so she had no choice but to do this...

I made an appointment with her at that time.

When I was done, I took a shower in the back room without closing the door, while she lay on the bed and scrolled through her phone.

At that time, I happened to see her being struck by something coming out of the shadow on the ground——"

The man's words stopped abruptly!

It suddenly rose up and suddenly pounced on Su Wu!

The burly figure flew through the air, causing a gust of evil wind in the narrow corridor!

His intention was to use "a story" to attract Su Wu's mind, and then strike him violently!

Facing the man's flying figure, Su Wu's pupils expanded several times, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a look of understanding flashed across his face——

Gala! Gala!

There was a sound of flesh and blood crawling under his right armpit.

A dark arm suddenly stretched out from the hem of a loose T-shirt, holding a strong flashlight with ten fingers.

The flashlight was pointed directly at the man's figure,

click,

Press the switch.

A beam of strong light suddenly emitted from the flashlight, shining on the man at a speed that was beyond the reach of the naked eye!

He even raised his arms slightly to try to cover his eyes because of the brief bright light!

Wha-what?!

The man's mind is blank!

He specifically observed Su Wu's hands and found nothing else except a bunch of keys.

But he never expected that the young man opposite who looked like he could be killed with one punch actually had a third hand!

The third hand held a flashlight and shot a beam of light at him.

Outside the aperture, the shadow overflows with a viscous liquid as thick as asphalt.

A vague human figure crawled out of the liquid, stretched out its body, and had dozens of hands and feet growing out of its body, wrapping the man in it!

Tsk! Tsk!

Flesh and blood torn apart!

Crushed muscles and bones!

"Ahhhhhhhh-"

The screams resounded throughout the building.

A dagger flew out of the black shadow and landed at Su Wu's feet.

He leaned over and picked up the dagger, then rang the imperial bell and opened the door of the unit building!

"Ding-dang-dang-dang-dang!"

"Ding-dang-dang-dang-dang!"

The sound of bells kept ringing in Ping'an Garden Community.

Su Wu ran out of the unit building and walked forward at a steady speed.

In the shadows reflected by the sky around him, fuzzy human figures condensed with a viscous liquid like asphalt kept trying to get closer to him, but were blocked by the sound of the imperial bell.

He walked out of the alleyway without any danger and turned into a dark fork.

The sky ahead was filled with crimson light.
