Chapter 130: Suffocating Shadow

"I remember, that apartment, that apartment..."

"Legend has it that those who died recently on 13th Street...are all related to that apartment..."

"At the very beginning, it was the Ping An Apartment where people started dying. The last time the community invited a magician to perform a ritual, he also went to that apartment..."

Look in the direction the man pointed.

Across the dim light, between the sparse branches, a dark gray building can be vaguely seen in the distance.

Ping An Apartment?

Is this the source of the strange events on 13th Street?

After hearing this information, Ailin turned to look at this person and said gently: "Anything else?"

"······No more, woo woo woo, we are just some gangsters that even the gangs don't look down on, I really don't know anything else·····"

Ailin nodded and said: "In that case, I won't disturb you!"

As he said that, Ailin snapped his fingers and directly mobilized the power of his mind, which aroused all the lust in the yellow-haired man's heart at that moment.

Then he put away his gun and walked towards another group of gangsters.

After Ailin left.

The yellow-haired man who was still standing, with red eyes, panted and walked towards the companion who was still wailing on the ground.

"Don't come over here······"

Not long after, a shrill wail sounded in this alley.

At that time, Ailin was in another alley, using the same method to get the information he wanted to know from another group of gangsters.

When the third round of screams sounded.

The remaining gangsters in the alleys of 13th Street seemed to have received a signal.

They fled the alleys where they usually spent their time and made a little money in a panic, and disappeared in just a few minutes.

······

The yellow-haired man did not deceive Ailin.

In the mouths of other gangsters, their understanding of the strange incident on 13th Street was similar.

Although they did not know the truth of this strange incident, they all believed that the source of all this was inseparable from the Ping An Apartment.

Walking on the uneven sidewalk in the dim light, after walking a few hundred meters, Ailin finally saw the "Ping An Apartment" mentioned by the gangsters.

The street lights around the Ping An Apartment have been extinguished for some reason.

The night around the 5-story apartment is like thick black silk, and a group of crows are circling and flying on the roof of the apartment building.

There is only one entrance and exit to this apartment building. A brand new big lock is hung on the rusty iron door.

"The door is so broken, but the lock is quite new. Wait, what is this?"

There is a piece of white paper next to the iron door. Ailin originally thought it was a small advertisement or something, but after walking in, he found that it was a "No Entry" warning.

After taking a look at the "No Entry" warning, Ailin's eyes, which had already turned deep and entered the spiritual vision state, stared at the safe apartment in front of him.

In the spiritual vision state, this dilapidated apartment was filled with gray and dead air, and a strong and suffocating despair.

This strand of despair that gathered together almost condensed into a rope, I don't know how many people in this apartment who are desperate about life have gathered together bit by bit over the years.

These despairs are so huge that they are almost gathered into shape.

After staying in this environment for a long time, even positive and optimistic people will slowly be bound by despair, and then lose hope in life bit by bit.

"It's really not safe in Ping An Apartment!"

Ailin looked at the building and took a deep breath.

Although it seemed a little ominous to enter such an apartment in the middle of the night, Ailin did not intend to change his mind.

Because just when he approached the apartment.

Ailin received a message from the Scales of Fate.

[Ding, it is detected that the second-level taboo 'Shadow of Suffocation' is being bred in this building. It is strongly recommended that the host contain the taboo before the taboo is successfully bred. It is predicted that after collecting the taboo, a large number of fate points can be obtained...]

After receiving the reminder from the Scales of Fate, Ailin realized that his previous guess was not wrong.

The strange incident on 13th Street is really related to the taboo.

However, unlike Ailin's expectation, this seems to be a taboo that is being bred.

Of course.

Before it is bred into shape.

This taboo has caused such a big commotion and caused so many deaths, which is enough to show that this taboo is not simple.

"Second-level forbidden item, this seems to be a new term. Well, it seems that if this forbidden item 'Suffocating Shadow' is really successfully bred, it seems to be much more powerful than the forbidden item 'Moonlight DJ' in the Morning Star Bar." The forbidden item 'Moonlight DJ' in the Morning Star Bar killed hundreds of people in just a few days. It is unknown how many people will die after the second-level forbidden item 'Suffocating Shadow' is successfully bred. Thinking of this, Ailin took a deep breath, turned his wrist, and a thin wire appeared at his fingertips. After inserting the wire into the keyhole of the big lock and deftly turning it a few times, the brand new big lock opened with a "click".

After removing the hanging lock, Ailin pulled hard and opened the door of the apartment.

"Hula..."

At the moment when the heavy iron door was opened, a turbid air with a faint smell of rottenness hit him in the face.

Just like those abandoned buildings for a long time, this apartment building is full of rotten and dilapidated smell.

But according to what those gangsters said.

This building called "Ping An Apartment" still had many residents half a month ago.

If it weren't for the strange incident that spread throughout Chinatown, the Chinese directors in the neighborhood would have changed their color and ordered the residents of this apartment building to be completely cleared out.

Maybe.

Now there are still many people living in this Ping An Apartment.

How could such an apartment building become so dilapidated in just a few days?

Before Ailin could think about this problem carefully.

Suddenly.

"Bang" sound.

A figure emitting a strong stench instantly fell from above Ailin's head.

As soon as he looked up, Ailin saw a pale and strange face rushing towards him.

The strange long tongue drooping almost to the chest secreted unknown black mucus, the cold and stiff face seemed to be crying and not smiling, and the two bulging eyes were full of despair for this world.

After a brief glance, the despair that was so strong that it was suffocating, followed the intersection of the eyes, and spread in Ailin's heart.
