Looking at the door in front of him, Lin Yu nodded slightly, his eyes narrowed as he slowly stepped forward, his heart calm, without any fluctuations due to the impending battle.
Not only that, even when he killed for the first time, Lin Yu did not experience the various uncomfortable emotions he had expected; he was quite indifferent.
It was like crushing two ants, unable to evoke any emotional fluctuation.
'It seems I might really be suited for this world?'
Lin Yu felt a slight self-mockery in his heart, but then he grasped the nichirin blade at his waist and walked calmly towards the large door.
The tall, warehouse-like building was bustling with noise, a constant cacophony audible even through the thick wooden door.
Amidst the laughter and curses, there were occasional excited shouts from men, cries from women, and lewd sounds, clearly indicating that unspeakable things were happening inside.
Unlike other refugees in the Slums, most of them maintained a state of rest to conserve energy, except for going out to work.
However, these Gang thugs enjoyed life wantonly.
Lin Yu looked at the tall and thick door, a strange look flickering in his eyes, and stepped forward to gently knock on the door.
“Dong… dong dong dong…”
The slightly muffled knocking sound was so clear in the surrounding environment that even the sounds of laughter and curses from inside the warehouse could not conceal it.
Upon hearing the knock, the sounds from inside the warehouse paused slightly and became quieter.
“It must be Naoki and Murata, those two guys, back. Go open the door…”
After a while, a vague and steady voice came from inside the warehouse through the door.
“Boom boom…”
The heavy door dragged on the ground, making a loud sound.
The nearby refugees, hearing this sound, nervously locked the doors of their houses, their hearts filled with unease.
Whenever the warehouse door opened, it meant that the thugs from the Gang were coming out, so the surrounding refugees were always on edge when they heard this sound. Find the original chapter at NovelPing.
A face filled with doubt emerged from the crack in the door, and when he saw Lin Yu, his expression turned somewhat startled.
“Boss, some brat from who knows where is knocking on the door.”
“A kid?! Tell him to scram. What does he think this place is…?”
“Thud…”
A dull thud sounded.
Before the boss could finish his sentence, he saw his subordinate, whom he had sent to open the door, suddenly stiffen, then fall heavily to the ground, twitching twice before becoming lifeless.
The half-open door, at this moment, was like an entrance to hell, exuding a cold killing intent and a faint chill.
Sitting deepest inside the warehouse, with women on both sides, was the Gang leader, a man with a scar running diagonally across his face.
The entire scar divided the man's face in half, and the hideous scar, like a centipede, coiled on his face, adding a touch of ferocity and brutality to him.
Seeing his subordinate die so inexplicably, Scarface Leader narrowed his eyes slightly, his thick hand already touching the hilt of the nichirin blade beside him.
The subordinate next to him, seeing this good opportunity to show off, quickly stood up and shouted angrily.
“Who?! Who?! Come out!”
Hearing their companion's angry roar, the Gang members in the warehouse, who had been enjoying themselves, also grabbed the thick wooden sticks beside them and stood up, surrounding the direction of the door.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire warehouse became heavy; no one spoke, only the low sobs of women still echoed.
The heavy door was pushed open a little more, revealing a gap wide enough for one person to pass through.
Chilling footsteps came from outside the door, walking towards the inside of the warehouse.
It was as if a grim reaper was slowly approaching.
The atmosphere in the warehouse was extremely heavy; although they were used to throwing their weight around, this did not mean that these people were fools.
On the contrary, those who could live so comfortably in such chaotic times were all intelligent people.
If someone could come knocking on their door and directly attack their people, the newcomer must have confidence, otherwise, they would never do such a thing.
The refugees in the Slums clearly dared not resist them, so there was only one possibility.
That was, Gangs from other areas wanted to seize their territory.
Gangs exploited and oppressed the bottom-level refugees, and there were also struggles among these Gangs.
After all, if they could defeat other Gangs, they could gain larger territories and more benefits.
So, for these struggles, this Gang was not unprepared.
No one paid attention to the 'brat' mentioned by the dead companion, only assuming it was a diversion used by the enemy.
Just as the Gang members were all on high alert for an unknown enemy attack, a shadow stretched obliquely into the warehouse from the crack in the door.
Along with this shadow, Lin Yu appeared in the warehouse.
The Gang members in the warehouse, seeing Lin Yu approach, had only intense vigilance in their eyes.
However, this vigilance was not directed at Lin Yu, but at the door crack behind him.
No one took Lin Yu, this 'young brat' in their eyes, seriously; in their opinion, what could a mere young boy do?
