Chapter 82: the truth

He still had some impression of this matter; it was quite a sensation at the time.

Second Unit was sent by the son of an old man and woman who lived on the 6th floor.

At that time, their son had to go on a business trip for about three months, so he sent Second Unit back for his parents to take care of.

Second Unit was usually well-behaved, not noisy, and didn’t destroy the house, which earned him the affection of the old man and woman.

Because he was a large dog, the old woman and old man would take the well-behaved Second Unit with them every time they went out, and their lives were very happy.

Until one day, a child of an owner in Building 6 ran off to play with Second Unit, fell, and got a cut that bled.

The child’s parents insisted it was Second Unit’s fault and even tried to extort a sum of money from the old man and woman.

Fortunately, there were surveillance cameras around at the time, which clarified the misunderstanding, and the matter seemed to have been smoothed over.

However, the family was clearly not convinced afterward and wanted to retaliate against the old man and woman.

When they made their move, Second Unit, protecting his owners, bit them.

Since they had deliberately chosen a blind spot in the surveillance, there was no camera footage as evidence.

The old man and woman could only pay money to settle the matter under the coordination of Hat Uncle.

But after this incident, Second Unit’s reputation changed; he was a dog that bit people, and a large dog at that, over two meters long.

Every time he went out, he was met with fear and exclusion by the other owners.

Some owners and their children even took advantage of the old man and woman’s inattention to frequently throw stones at Second Unit.

There was even one instance where they poisoned Second Unit at their house.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, and with the old man and woman willing to spend money, Second Unit was finally saved.

As for what happened afterward, Liang Yu didn’t pay attention anymore.

He remembered someone from Building 6 asking in the group chat.

“Why! Why does that hungry wolf have to target our Building 6?!”

Liang Yu smiled; sure enough, there was a reason for everything.

The evil they had sown, it was time for them to taste their own bitter fruit.

Thinking of this, Liang Yu no longer had any intention of shooting Second Unit.

Logically speaking, a dog that harms people, especially one that eats people, must be killed; this is a saying passed down by the older generation.

Liang Yu saw Second Unit’s current state and understood why such a saying existed.

He even had the idea of helping him now.

Thinking of this, Liang Yu controlled Second Unit to return to the fortress.

After some more time, Second Unit had already climbed to the tenth floor.

At this moment, Second Unit, controlled by Liang Yu, approached, dragging an insulated box.

Second Unit howled when he saw this.

“Woof~”

However, Liang Yu paid no attention; after transforming nearby, he approached with the box.

Liang Yu’s voice came from Second Unit at this time.

He tried calling out his name.

“Tangdou, Tangdou, Tangdou.”

Seeing that he reacted to the name, Liang Yu continued.

“Don’t misunderstand, we don’t intend to deal with you now. Seeing your difficulty, I’ve brought you some food.”

As he spoke, Liang Yu opened the insulated box, revealing beef still dripping with blood.

He handed the food over.

“Eat. Only after you eat will you have the strength for revenge.”

Second Unit seemed to understand, glancing at Second Unit, then hesitating before biting into the large piece of beef.

At the same time, he kept an eye on Second Unit’s movements.

Seeing this, Liang Yu decided not to stay there and disturb his meal.

He simply tipped over, switched back to flight mode in the air, and returned to the fortress.

Liang Yu was too lazy to bother with the subsequent events.

However, he was sure of one thing: the owner on the 16th floor was likely to be in trouble tonight.

Second Unit was clearly going to climb from the outdoor air conditioner unit to the balcony.

The balcony glass of that unit couldn’t stop Second Unit, who was two and a half meters long.

The outcome was obvious without even thinking about it.

Seeing that it was still early, Liang Yu took out an un-modified mechanical exoskeleton and began to research how to add external equipment to it.

Another night passed.

When the owners woke up, the first thing they cared about was the owner on the 16th floor who had been shouting about the hungry wolf last night.

In the early hours, a few sleepless owners @ him in the main group chat, but received no reply.

Now, several more people were constantly @ing him in the group, but still no one responded.

An owner from Building 6 in the group chat spoke up at this point.

“He’s probably met with misfortune. I just called him and couldn’t get through.”

“The resident on the 15th floor heard movement from the balcony last night. We were still in contact yesterday, but he’s unreachable now too.”

“Two floors, four owners, they’ve probably all met with an accident.”

“Because there’s been no response, we’re currently breaking down their doors.”

The atmosphere in the group chat became very oppressive for a moment.

Just then, another owner from Building 6 revealed astonishing news.

“Um, I might know the true identity of the hungry wolf you’re talking about.”

“I live in 402. Does everyone remember the old couple across from me?”

Seeing the other person mention 401, Qiao Feng also stepped forward.

“Yesterday, we also saw this unlocked apartment and searched it carefully, but found no abnormalities.”

The resident of 402 then asked him a question.

“Did you see the bodies of that old couple?”

Qiao Feng carefully recalled his memories from yesterday; he indeed hadn’t seen the bodies of the old couple in the house.

“I confirm I didn’t see their bodies. Maybe I missed something. Owners who searched together yesterday, please help recall.”

After Qiao Feng spoke, several other owners came out to confirm that no bodies had been found.

Then 402 asked them another question.

“Then did you see the body or bones of the dog they raised?”

Seeing this, owners from other buildings spoke up one after another.

“A dog? I think I remember they had a big dog.”

“I think they killed the dog long ago; there’s probably only bones left after eating it.”

“Now that you mention it, I do remember. That dog was quite fat. Thinking about it now, my mouth is watering.”

“Exactly, there are many ways to love dogs, but I just prefer this one. I really want to eat dog meat hotpot again.”

Next, many owners expressed regret and sighed.

Only Qiao Feng noticed that something was amiss.

A big dog and a suddenly appearing wolf.

He quickly asked the resident of 402.

“Are you saying that the big dog they raised is the hungry wolf we’ve been looking for for days?”

The resident of 402 answered Qiao Feng’s question.

“Yes, my guess is that the old couple couldn’t bear to kill that big dog and exchanged their own broken bodies for the dog’s survival.”

“Then, after eating the two people, that big dog gained intelligence and remembered how you used to treat the old couple.”

“That’s why he developed resentment and sought revenge, though it could also be for food.”

“Don’t forget what those two families on the 15th floor did. The one on the 16th floor might have brought it upon himself.”

“Then why didn’t he go after the 17th floor, but specifically the 15th floor?”

“I think you all know in your hearts that none of you will escape.”

After the resident of 402 laid everything out, the people in Building 6 could no longer sit still.

They continuously hurled insults and slung mud at 402.

Some even accused her of being the true culprit behind these murders.
