44. Murder by trickery
‘Click’.
Su Wu turned on the main switch box on the first floor and turned off all the switches.
From this moment on, the entire 6 buildings will no longer have electricity supply.
Those residents who are still in a daze and have not turned off the lights in their rooms will benefit from Su Wu’s action and slow down their death.
At present, the entire Ping An Garden is already within the coverage of the Shadow Ghost. As long as any luminous object casts a shadow here, it is very likely to cause one’s own death.
But at least in the dark, people are still safe.
Outside the Ping An Garden, most of Mingzhou City, or even the entire city, is covered by the Eye Ghost.
Humans living in it are inevitably facing death.
Even if you have made sufficient preparations, even if you sneak into the basement where the red light cannot be illuminated, as long as you are still within the Eye Ghost’s range of influence, you may be killed by the Eye Ghost every time the red light appears.
Therefore, compared with the Eye Ghost, the Shadow Ghost Covered Area is the easiest area to survive.
——As long as you don’t commit suicide, there is a high probability that you will not die.
At this time, there should have been official "staff" entering the tenant group. They don't have the help of the simulator, but they also understand the characteristics of the shadow ghost.
They know to remind residents to close doors and windows and cut off the light source according to its characteristics.
It can be seen that these staff have experience in dealing with weirdness.
They are professionals and should do more professional rescue work-although Su Wu has never seen the staff in the future simulation.
But this does not mean that they have done nothing.
After all, Su Wu left Ping'an Garden and never looked back.
As early as two or three hundred years ago, the secret storage area was full of weirdness, and many temples there even created various effective methods to contain and restrain weirdness.
The secret storage area is also part of Su Wu's country "Taiya".
This area has seen weirdness in the past. In the long and prosperous civilization evolution of Taiya, there should be no lack of weird shadows in those layers of history.
If there is weirdness, there will be someone to solve it.
This is the tradition of Taiya.
Otherwise, how to explain that the "Emperor Bell" in Su Wu's hand has a strong inhibitory effect on the shadow ghost and the ghost of the corpse?
The Emperor Bell is an old object, and it is quite old.
Shaking off all the distracting thoughts in his mind, Su Wu glanced at the side and back.
The sturdy and burly man quietly got up from the ground and faced Su Wu.
In the darkness, there was a light in his eyes.
Like a beast hiding in the dark observing its prey.
The man had long discovered Su Wu's existence.
When Su Wu deliberately increased his footsteps several times and he had no reaction, Su Wu was sure that this person was pretending with him.
Deliberately pretending not to know his existence.
It was also to paralyze him and make him think that the man was a harmless passerby.
But now, he was about to go out, and the man couldn't pretend anymore, and he was about to show his true colors.
"Why don't you go out?"
Seeing that Su Wu had been standing at the door without any movement, the man walked towards him.
A dagger slipped out of his sleeve, the tip of the blade protruding an inch from his fingertips, hidden in the darkness. If Su Wu had not had night vision, he would not have noticed it at all.
Su Wu suddenly turned around and faced the man, staring into his eyes, and said expressionlessly: "If I go out, I will die. Why would I go to die?
I warn you, don't come closer."
The man stopped as he said, and his eyes kept scanning Su Wu's body, especially staying on Su Wu's hands for a few seconds.
He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "You are the one who sent a message in the group to remind everyone that the young master should eat cakes. You are a good person.
How did you know that these things would happen?
If it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid I would be trapped in this hellhole."
Although Su Wu was blessed by the Hercules' Curse, his figure became more and more upright, and muscles gradually grew under his clothes, but he still couldn't be compared with the man opposite who looked like a human beast.
Standing opposite the man, he looked like prey.
The man was like a hunter.
"You react faster than most people and made a choice that is beneficial to you at this time. I admire you very much." Su Wu's tone was cold, and there was no emotion on his face.
He stared at the man opposite: "I see that this is not the first time you have experienced this kind of thing.
How do you know these things?"
"Yesterday, several murders occurred in Building 3. You also know that, right?" The man smiled playfully and really told Su Wu what he knew, "Among the three people who died, there was a peripheral girl.
The woman was pretty. I heard that her family was poor when she was a child, so she had to do this...
I made an appointment with her at that time.
After I finished, I took a shower in the inner room without closing the door. She was lying on the bed and browsing her phone.
At that time, I happened to see her being drilled out of the shadow on the ground-"
The man's voice stopped abruptly!
He suddenly jumped up and pounced on Su Wu like a tiger!
The burly figure pounced through the air, and actually raised a gust of evil wind in the narrow corridor!
His intention was to attract Su Wu's mind with "a story" and then attack him!
Facing the man's flying figure, Su Wu's pupils expanded several times, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and a look of understanding flashed across his face -
Crack! Crack!
The sound of flesh and blood squirming came from his right armpit.
A dark arm suddenly stretched out from the bottom of the loose T-shirt, and ten fingers grasped a strong flashlight.
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 him, who looked like he could be killed with one punch, actually had a third hand!
The third hand held a flashlight and fired a beam of light at him.
Outside the aperture, the shadow overflowed with asphalt-like viscous liquid.
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!
The muscles and bones are crushed!
"Ahhhhhhhh-"
The screams resounded throughout the building.
A dagger flew out of the shadow and landed at Su Wu's feet.
He leaned over to pick 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 moved 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 the dark fork.
The sky ahead was filled with crimson light.
