The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 549: Hong Kong Past (30)

Ah Fa carefully observed the movements downstairs. There were enemies running around downstairs. He searched for their whereabouts, so he pulled out his pistol and checked how many bullets were left in the magazine. The woman and the two Japanese sat obediently on the sofa, not daring to breathe.

Two minutes later, Ah Fa became alert because the number of enemies downstairs had obviously increased. What was even more coincidental was that they looked up at this room, as if they were looking at Ah Fa.

Ah Fa was startled and turned back to shout, "Our position has been exposed!"

The woman was so scared that she started crying: "It's not me, I didn't leak your information, don't kill me!"

Ah Fa walked over and knocked the crying woman unconscious with the butt of his gun, then said, "We can't stay here anymore, let's go."

His heart was in turmoil as he thought of a terrible possibility, which made him uneasy, but now was not the time to think about it.

Ah Fa rushed to the back of the house, opened the window and looked out, only to find that there were no enemies here. Even more fortunately, there was a fire escape outside!

"Come this way!" Ah Fa waved his hand to the two Japanese and said, "Hurry!"

Forced by the pistol he was waving, the two men had no choice but to follow him and escape through the fire escape.

At this moment, there was a knock on the apartment door.

"Ah Feng, are you there?" the person outside asked.

There was no response from inside, so the door was quickly forced open.

A group of people rushed in with sticks and machetes, searching through the drawers and cabinets, but apart from an unconscious woman, they did not find anyone else in the house.

"Here! They went down here!" A thug found the fire escape outside.

"Chase!" the little leader shouted, "We must catch Xiayanfa this time!"

On the fire escape stairs, Ah Fa saw that the people above had already followed him, and the two Japanese were obviously a little tired, and they couldn't run fast at all, so Ah Fa said anxiously: "Hurry up, if you don't want to be hacked to death by those people, run faster, you saw it too, right? Those people are very fierce!"

At Afa's urging, the two Japanese sped up, but the Japanese translator accidentally stepped on empty air while rushing down the stairs, and his leg was stuck in the gap in the middle of the stairs, causing him to scream.

Ah Fa tried to pull his leg out, and although he got it out successfully, his ankle was twisted and he couldn't walk.

"Bang..." Seeing this, Ah Fa knew that if he didn't leave, he would be caught up by those people, so he made a prompt decision again, grabbed the remaining boss Yamada, and fled with him, leaving the translator sitting on the stairs, shouting in despair.

"Don't abandon me! Please, don't abandon me!"

The two left without looking back. On the way, Yamada anxiously asked Ah Fa something in Japanese. Ah Fa didn't understand and could only say, "He will be fine."

The two continued to flee. At this time, it seemed that the other side's people were everywhere around them, which made Ah Fa a little nervous. He felt that he had been forced into a desperate situation.

"At this point, we can only try to go there." Ah Fa's eyes were stern, but he was a little confused in his heart: "I don't know if it's so far, can I get to that place..."

He looked around. It was already late. The doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the dark alley were closed and the curtains were drawn. No one dared to intervene in the street. There were no street lights in the alley. The darkness gave Ah Fa some sense of security. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and felt the familiar breath in his dreams every night.

After a few seconds, he opened his eyes.

"This way, follow me." Ah Fa waved his hand and took Yamada into the dark alley.

He actually didn't know where these alleys led to, but Ah Fa could only choose to believe in the connection between him and that place. "Master Jingde said that I have a strong life." Ah Fa murmured, "I won't die here!"

They passed through the claustrophobic alleys, and Ah Fa walked aimlessly according to his own feelings.

But this seemed to be effective. They didn't know where they were, and the figures who were chasing them gradually began to disappear. Soon, the whole world became quiet, and a depressing atmosphere surrounded them.

"Here it comes, that's the feeling..." Ah Fa looked around vigilantly. When the two masters helped him change his fate before, he would feel this strange atmosphere beginning to spread before he encountered those strange things, as if the whole world became unreal, and the surrounding environment slowly became wrong.

As they went deeper into the alley, they seemed to have lost themselves in the intricate alleys. The terrain here became more and more complex and dilapidated. It was nothing like the alley they had first come in. Instead, it felt a bit old.

Finally, they reached the end. Above their heads were a tangle of wires, tangled together like some bird's nest, blocking out the sky.

At the front of the alley, which should have been a dead end, a door suddenly appeared.

Ah Fa quickened his pace and opened the door. A familiar stench and a chilly wind blew out from inside.

"Kokoha..." Yamada looked at the scenery behind the door in surprise. He seemed to feel a little familiar. Then he finally remembered that it was the scene inside the Kowloon Walled City that he had seen in videos and on TV. But... hadn't it been demolished? And where was the place where they drove in just now? Where was there such a large building?
Ah Fa felt as if he had returned home, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and said, "Come here, we are safe for now. I will take you back after daybreak. But this seems to be the first time I take the initiative to bring someone in..."

Yamada didn't understand what Ah Fa said, but he could tell that he was relaxed. Yamada was infected by this emotion and walked over with him.

But soon, unlike Afa who was relaxed, Yamada still felt that something was wrong here. Everything here looked very normal at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find some strange phenomena.

For example, in a house with an open door, two little girls are sitting at the table waiting for dinner, and there is no one in front of the stove, but something is cooking in the pot, as if... there is an invisible person standing there cooking.

In this dull atmosphere, there were many similar abrupt scenes, which made Yamada nervous and trembling all over. He finally determined that this was not a place for living people! Kowloon Walled City had been demolished long ago! This was an area that did not exist in reality! What kind of place had he come to?

His teeth began to chatter, and he could not move as freely as Ah Fa. As his fear grew, the neighbors around him turned their heads around and looked at him expressionlessly, as if they had just noticed him. The air seemed to freeze.

Ah Fa also saw this scene, and he quickly said, "Don't get excited, neighbors. This is a friend that I brought with me. He will only stay here for one night. When I get out, I will definitely bring more tributes to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the neighbors acted as if nothing had happened. Some were beating their children, some were quarreling, and some were cooking. It was a scene of harmonious life.

Ah Fa heaved a sigh of relief. When he was about to take Yamada back to his home in Kowloon Walled City, an unexpected person appeared in front of him.

Taoist Lingkong stood in the aisle, looking at Ah Fa without saying a word.

"Master? Why are you here?" Ah Fa asked in surprise.

"Afa, I'm sorry." Taoist Lingkong said with a serious expression: "But I want to make up for this mistake..."

He flipped his palm and a copper coin sword shining with red light appeared in his hand, which made Afa feel uneasy. He had been through so many trials and tribulations that he was keenly aware of the breath of danger - the other party was serious!
"Po Jun!" Taoist Lingkong took a heavy step forward and instantly appeared in front of Afa, stabbing him in the chest with the copper coin sword. The speed was so fast that Afa didn't even have time to react.

Dang! A peach wood sword was picked out from the side, blocking the copper coin sword. The two swords collided, sparks flew, and there was a sound of metal colliding.

Taoist Jingde appeared. He looked back at Yamada and Ah Fa and said, "Mr. Qian is crazy. I'll stop him. You guys run."

As he said this, he started fighting with Taoist Lingkong.
