The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 552: Hong Kong Past (33)

Brother Long was stunned when he saw the huge building. The place gave him a very ominous feeling, so he turned around and wanted to go back the way he came, but almost bumped into the wall.

——The road he came from has turned into a wall.

"Ghost wall..." Brother Long thought of this word again, but it doesn’t matter. It’s very spacious here and he can go somewhere else as long as he doesn’t enter the fortress.

So he turned around and found himself in a dark and narrow corridor.

"Including the family property! Are you trying to scare me?" Brother Long revealed a vicious look. He took out a pistol from his waist, pulled the safety bolt, and walked carefully to the front of the aisle.

There were constant noises coming from all around, the sound of water hitting the water pipes, coughing coming from nowhere, and the crying of children, which made Brother Long dare not act rashly. In the quiet environment, no matter what sound came, it would make him tremble with fear. He could even hear his own breathing getting heavier and feel his heartbeat getting faster and faster.

But strangely, although he came to this horrible place that did not exist in the human world, nothing horrible happened, as if this was the Kowloon Walled City he had been to before, full of life and darkness. It was both chaotic and had its own order.

He didn't see anyone, so he could only move forward carefully along the narrow corridor. Finally, he arrived safely at the depths of the fortress - the patio, where a man was waiting for him.

"Don't move, turn around!" Brother Long immediately raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at the man with his back to him.

The man threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and turned to look at Brother Long.

"Afa?" Brother Long did not put down the gun in his hand, but asked in shock: "Are you alive or dead?"

He thought of various urban legends. It seemed that it was not so incredible for a ghost to call someone. After all, the place where he was was not a place for living people to go.

Ah Fa did not answer. He asked, "Brother Long, although I have not been with you for a long time, have I ever done anything to let you down?"

Brother Long looked at him warily and said, "No, on the contrary, you helped me a lot. Not only did you save my life, but you also helped me get in touch with the Japanese. You can be said to be my lucky star."

"Then why did you betray me?" Ah Fa suddenly became angry.

Brother Long still pointed his gun at Ah Fa, saying, "When did I betray you? Ah Fa, every wrong has its perpetrator, I know you're dead, and I'm very unhappy now, but this matter really has nothing to do with me."

"What's the matter with the car?" Ah Fa asked, "You are the only one who knows about that car. You assigned it to me. I didn't even tell my father about this! If you hadn't revealed it, how could I have been ambushed?"

"It wasn't me!" Brother Long said defensively, "Maybe someone else saw you driving that car!"

"Okay, what about the phone call I made to you?" Ah Fa asked, "I was being hunted down, so I just hid myself and found an opportunity to call you. I didn't do anything, but those people found my location!"

"Don't be ridiculous!" Brother Long still pointed the gun at him and frowned, "I called someone to help you after you called me. Don't slander me. Every wrong has its perpetrator. At most, I will burn more incense for you and help you get revenge. Now let me go, or I will shoot. I have a sign from the temple on me. I am not joking."

"Oh, so there's nothing to talk about? What brother? It turns out I've always been too sentimental." Ah Fa smiled.

Brother Long suddenly sensed the danger and quickly turned around to prepare to shoot.

boom!
But Ah Fa was faster than him and shot him in the chest.

Brother Long staggered back a few steps, looking at the bloodstain on his chest in surprise as it continued to expand. He raised his head and looked at Ah Fa, who had appeared behind him at some point. He mumbled a few times without saying anything, and fell straight down, dying with his eyes open.

Ah Fa finally breathed a sigh of relief after his revenge. He was ready to take out the sunglasses from his arms, put them on, and leave.

But he suddenly noticed something out of the corner of his eye, and when he looked up, he saw an illusory shadow staring at Ah Fa on the body of Brother Long, with a face full of confusion and resentment. "But I really didn't betray you, Ah Fa..." After the shadow said this, it turned into dust and fell to the ground, blending with the dirty ground and becoming part of the fortress.

Ah Fa was stunned. As his connection with Kowloon Walled City gradually deepened, he slowly acquired some special abilities here... just like the master of this place.

So, when the city absorbed the phantom, Ah Fa had an inexplicable feeling, and that feeling told him that the other party was not lying.

Looking at the body on the ground, Ah Fa panicked. If what the other party said was true, then he was...

At the moment when he began to doubt himself, Ah Fa suddenly felt a severe burning sensation coming from his back. At the same time, he fell heavily to the ground as if he was pressed down by a mountain, unable to get up. The body of Brother Long was standing by, with his eyes open, quietly looking at Ah Fa.

The burning pain on his back made Ah Fa scream. He didn't dare to look at Brother Long's body and struggled to take off his shirt.

I saw the open-eyed Guan Gong on his back, emitting a scorching red light, and his pair of phoenix eyes were intimidating without even being angry, as if he wanted to chop off this disloyal and treacherous villain.

"But I really didn't betray you, Ah Fa..."

The words began to echo in his ears again. Ah Fa was terrified. What had he done? Did he kill the wrong person? But how could he be ambushed? Was it really a coincidence? But what about the phone call? He had just called and...

"Ah!!!" The light behind Ah Fa became brighter and brighter. The previous scenes kept replaying in front of his eyes, and then he suddenly remembered something.

After hiding in Fengjie's room, in order not to expose himself by the window, he asked Fengjie to draw all the curtains...

But he forgot one thing, that is, these Fengjies are actually gangsters. In order to protect their interests from being harmed by customers, they must have some connections with local gangs. After paying protection fees, the local community has the obligation to ensure their safety.

So when they are receiving customers, if they encounter danger, these smart Fengjies will also find ways to send signals to the people in the nearby societies. Turning on a certain light, closing the curtains of a certain window, these can all serve as signals. As long as they are seen by the society members wandering around nearby...

Ah Fa remembered that after he asked the woman to close the curtains, he immediately called Brother Long, and before long, those people had discovered them... In that case, did he really blame Brother Long wrongly? Was it the woman who leaked the information?
How was the car exposed?

The pain in his back was getting worse and worse, causing him to stop thinking. He struggled on the ground like a worm, screaming in despair. His eyes kept replaying the scene of him killing Brother Long.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!" Ah Fa found that even if he closed his eyes, those images were still engraved in his vision, replaying over and over again. No, not only was there the figure of Brother Long, he also seemed to see the scene where after cooperating with the Japanese, he led people to oppress those innocent people for the sake of profit. He realized that his behavior had completely violated the word "loyalty and righteousness".

Thus, the belief that he had always firmly believed in and carried out to the end was cut off by his own hands.

Amid Ah Fa's painful wails, a pair of feet appeared in his sight.

"Can't it be suppressed anymore?" Taoist Jingde looked down at Afa and murmured.

Ah Fa saw Taoist Jingde. He grabbed the Taoist's feet with great difficulty and shouted in pain: "Master Jingde, save me! Save me! I feel so painful!"

Those images kept appearing before his eyes and he couldn't turn them off.

"Your pain comes from seeing the truth." Taoist Jingde said, "Your problem is very serious. To solve your problem, you must pay a price. I can seal the source of your pain in this Kowloon Walled City, but you must hand over the walled city to me. Is that okay?"

Ah Fa screamed, "Quick! Quick! I agree to anything! I don't want to see those things again!"

Taoist Jingde nodded, took out a small knife and pressed down on Ah Fa's head.
