Chapter 256 The Haunted History of Building 7: Cursed Past and Supernatural Secrets

Clara looked confused, "What's wrong with that place?"

The old woman looked around and leaned in close to Clara, "Let me tell you... that place is unlucky! Don't go there!"

Clara asked, "Huh? What's wrong? Tell me more."

The two of them huddled together, gossiping like members of a village rumor mill, occasionally glancing over at Building 7, and giving off a certain vibe, except they were missing a bag of sunflower seeds in their hands.

"That building is now considered unsafe and uninhabitable, so it's in a state of disrepair," the old woman said.

"But that's not the real reason. Over a decade ago, there were people living there, in Room 602," she continued.

Clara interjected, "602?"

"Yes, that's the one. There were several men living there, not from our neighborhood," the old woman said.

"They spoke with a non-local accent and were here to do business. They even set up a stall in the community. When the owners wouldn't let them sell, they just started hitting people. They were really aggressive."

Susie, who somehow had a bag of sunflower seeds, chimed in, "That's really scary!"

Wade was on edge. This was a dangerous place!

There really are ghosts here!

The old woman snorted, "Of course they were! They not only beat up the homeowners here, but also took over the convenience store in Building 3 that you just saw on your way here.

They drove out the original owner and set up shop for themselves."

"We don't dare to buy anything from them, or they'll threaten us," she continued.

It seemed that the old woman was recalling some unpleasant history, and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes.

Clara frowned. These people were definitely bad guys.

Why isn't anyone doing anything about this?

Clara voiced her doubts, "This is outrageous! Isn't anyone doing anything to stop them?"

The old woman's voice was tinged with a hint of helplessness, "No..."

"They took over the convenience store and started forcing people to buy from them. And when they weren't satisfied with the money they made, they started taking over empty spaces in the community. At that time, we had motorcycles and tricycles parked in our own yards, free of charge."

"But they claimed that the empty space in front of our house was not ours and charged us for parking!"

"Later, things got even worse. They set up a checkpoint at the entrance, and said that we had to prove that we were residents before they would let us in. How do we prove that?"

"Everyone has to get a resident card in their area, with your name, age, and occupation on it, proving that you are a law-abiding citizen..."

Clara widened her eyes in shock and said, "Really? And nobody reported this to the police?"

The old woman became angry and said, "They are part of a dark organization, cruel and cunning...no one could handle them at that time."

The community lived under their oppression, and many people quit their jobs to go petition, just to bring them down.

To give these people a warning, those few men even captured the elderly, women, and children in their homes.

"They were all locked up in Building 7," the old woman pointed to the building.

Susie, Lucy, Wade, and Zion all became nervous and asked, "What happened then?"

The old woman looked at them and finally said, "Then everyone fought with them...to scare those who dared to resist them, they...killed all those elderly, women, and children."

The old woman's eyes gradually became murky. "They even didn't spare the children. Thirty people died that night!"

The incident became a big deal, and those few men were finally arrested and put in prison.

Clara murmured, "Unbelievable...this is too extreme. Thirty people died...hard to believe..."

In the vast world, there could be such a tragedy!

The old woman pursed her lips, "Indeed, it's hard to believe, so no one dared to believe it. Even when they were in court, they still argued, saying that the number 30 was absurd, how could they kill so many people?"

"Even when the evidence was presented to them, those animals still claimed that they were only trying to educate their disobedient brother - saying that they were related to the community and that those who went to petition were their brothers. They felt heartbroken that their brother had gone astray, so they wanted to educate us."

As Grandma spoke, she couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.

Susie's sunflower seeds fell to the ground with a clatter, and she no longer had the mood to pick them up.

Her little face involuntarily wrinkled.

Clara hadn't come back to reality for a long time. "How come I haven't heard of such a big event?"

Grandma shook her head, "It's been too long, and the matter has gradually been forgotten. Even some of our younger generation doubt its authenticity. After all, 30 people died, not just three!"

Later, those evil people were executed.

But their children were furious, not only denying that their fathers had killed people, but also accusing the people in the neighborhood of framing their fathers.

Clara fell silent.

No wonder Unit 602 in Building 7, Block 1 was surrounded by red lines and covered with yellow talismans.

In such a lively community, no one felt anything was wrong. It turned out that this was the reason.

After understanding the truth of Unit 602 in Building 7, Block 1, Susie and Clara went back to find Mitch.

As it was getting dark, Grandma bent over and called her grandson to go home.

Someone asked her curiously why she had been whispering with the children for so long, and Grandma was about to speak when a young man ran over happily and said that Grandma's hometown had been demolished and she had suddenly become rich with millions of dollars!

Everyone instantly forgot about the previous matter, and Grandma happily hurried home.

On the other side, Susie asked, "Master, does this have anything to do with the prison?"

Mitch replied, "The prison that holds the unlucky ones is the same prison where those few villains who were held in 602 were held."

The unlucky ones were related to the prison and those villains.

"The eight directions of the prison were suppressed by someone, probably to lock the spirits of those villains and prevent them from reincarnating forever. That's why the unlucky ones are trapped in the prison and cannot leave."

Susie understood.

"But now there is a gathering of Yin energy in 602, so we need to find out the reason."

Susie asked, "Master, haven't you been in to take a look?"

Mitch didn't say anything, he looked down at her and said, "What the master saw is what the master saw. Some things you have to go see for yourself."

Susie understood.

As it was getting dark, Martin came over and when Susie said she wanted to go back to 602 to take another look, he didn't ask much and went with her.

Building 7 was located in the far west of the community, and the closest Building 6 was separated by a small playground.

The playground was overgrown with weeds, indicating that very few people come here.

In the dark building, there were only Martin and Susie's footsteps. Martin held his phone flashlight and walked towards the upper floor.

Creak...

A door somewhere was blown open by the wind, making their scalp tingle in this silent and dark night.

Wade accidentally looked up and was frightened, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he screamed, grabbing Susie's arm, "Sis, sis, sis!"
