Deep in Hong Kong there is a rundown, almost deserted district with a unique story. Twenty years a go it was a peaceful, thriving community full of friendly people. That starting changing when the Triad started to make its presence known. It is unsure which branch was the one to exert its influence on the district but the effects were felt almost immediately. It started with extortion and racketeering but quickly move to human trafficking, prostitution and illegal gambling.
It didn't take long for the district to go downhill as more and more business owners went under because they could no longer afford the Triad's 'protection'. Some were able to relocate and move on with their lives but others lost their lives to the Triad because of how in debt they had fallen. Others lost their lives standing up to the Triad and were brutally made an example of.
Lok Yee, the owner of a small, upscale women's clothing boutique in the district was one of those that lost their lives in that manner. She was an older woman in her late fifties but still retained much of her youthful beauty. She was a regal woman who refused to compromise on her principals. One of her employees found her mutilated and dismembered body early on a Monday morning. Lok Yee's assets were sold and the store was closed forever.
Her brutal death sent shock waves through the district and and more people fled. A few weeks later there were rumors floating about on how members of the Triad were scared because their members started disappearing without a trace. At first the Triad thought is was a new group moving in on their turf but there was no evidence to support that theory.
Soon some of the residents noticed that every time they heard about a Triad member disappearing there was a female mannequin standing in one of the windows in Lok Yee's boarded up store. It would be a different female mannequin each time. No one was ever seen entering the store and there would only be one mannequin at a time. Who was placing mannequins in window? Where were the previous mannequins disappearing to?
Before to long one of the residents overheard a group of Triad members talking in a restaurant about how the 'crazy clothing store lady' put a curse on the Triad with her dying breath. No one at the table could remember what exactly Lok Yee said as she died but the resident could tell that the Triad was terrified.
Eventually the Triad moved on from the district but that damage had already been done. The district never recovered. To this day the district is a virtual ghost town but if you walk down the district main boulevard and go past Lok Yee's store sometimes you will see a new looking mannequin standing in the one uncovered window, wearing lingerie or a trendy outfit that was fashionable twenty years ago, staring blankly at the world outside.
