Horror Game Designer

“Be careful.” Xuan Wen wanted to say something more to Gao Ming, but she chose to say nothing. She helped the blind man up and followed Gao Ming into the front building.

The leader of Team One didn’t murder all the horror game players. If he were not trapped, he might use this chance to improve the players’ impression of the investigation centre. Unfortunately, there was no if in this world.

Putting back the mask made by Xuan Wen, Gao Ming summoned the God of Flesh and Blood in the front building. He howled openly. The security members who stayed back to guard quickly rushed over. However, they were no match for the God of Flesh and Blood. As the horror game players watched on, the God of Flesh and Blood stopped both humans and ghosts. His existence was the scariest horror story.

“The tragedy is here, and no one is willing to be sitting ducks. We are merely using our own methods to protect the things we want to protect.” Gao Ming, who stood on the shoulder of God, glanced at the many faces. The horror game players were still very weak. However, if they were given time to grow, some of them would definitely see the waking world. “The anomaly started at Xin Lu half a year ago. The investigation centre knew about them earlier than we did. However, they chose to keep it a secret until they couldn’t any more.”

The blood and flesh resentment room corrupted the ground. Endless torture devices collided in his heart. Gao Ming’s voice was influential and oppressive.

“I’ve never wanted to overthrow anything. We have been cornered. We have to choose between darkness and death.

“There is only one way to kill the anomaly, and that is to become an anomaly. After you’ve experienced indescribable pain, you will unleash the monster hidden inside your heart.

“No one wants to be a monster. However, this is the only choice if you want to see the sun again.

“However, in the eyes of the investigation centre, you are not different from the ghosts. You have to be eliminated. That is the purpose of our existence. We will provide Han Hai with a new answer, one that we handwrote ourselves.”

Gao Ming calculated the time. He walked to the hospital front door, and the God of Flesh and Blood opened eight arms. As the thunder boomed, the God of Flesh and Blood opened the hospital door.

“Escape this place. Experience more anomalies. Try to survive with your own method. Hold fate firmly in your hands!”

The night fell. Gao Ming and the God of Flesh and Blood disappeared out the door.

The horror game players instantly dispersed. Xuan Wen mixed among them and headed to the old city.

…

The glass cup was slammed into the ground. The sharp pieces flew everywhere. Jing Tuoshen looked at the virtual screen inside the east city investigation centre with disbelief. His glove was cut. He didn’t even realise blood had dyed his fingertip.

“All the nine security teams from Xin Lu have lost contact with us…”

The sun was almost up. However, no one in the meeting room was drowsy. If anything, their nerves couldn’t be more taut.

The security members from the taboo game were the headquarters’ trump cards. However, two teams were trapped, and one of the team leaders was killed on the first day, and the seven teams that arrived as reinforcements went missing on the second day!

“They might have entered too deep into the anomaly, and their signal has been disrupted.” Cen Guan was Han Hai’s experienced vice-captain. He dared to speak because he was one of the most senior members.

“Wan Jie has his own contact method, which uses blood, curses, and live bodies. No matter how many of them enter the anomaly, they will leave behind logistic members to stay guard outside. They have experienced hundreds of anomalies. They won’t mess up something as basic as this.” Jing Tuoshen’s face was scarily pale. “A group loss of communication… This at least means that Wan Jie’s team has been trapped, and the logistic teams left outside have been killed.”

“How are the horror game players so powerful?”

“Send people to Li San Hospital now! The old city has a high population. We cannot let Li San Hospital become the second Han Hai Private School. It’ll be too difficult for us to deal with two highly dangerous anomalies at the same time!” Jing Tuoshen’s blood seeped out of his glove. When he saw the blood, his eyes twitched, and his voice sharpened. “K has been killed, and Wan Jie’s teams have gone missing. It feels like a pair of hands is pressed on the investigation centre’s back, trying to push us into the abyss.”

“The culprit knows the investigation centre and even the security teams training at the taboo game in Xin Lu. This is a targeted attack.” Cen Guan hesitated. “Li San Hospital was where Situ An once worked. And he is currently missing. Could he be the culprit?

“He faked his death to escape and then revealed his last words to the public to destroy the citizens’ trust in the investigation centre. Then, the horror game players appeared in the east city in droves. Would he target the headquarters next? I feel like he’d do something even worse.”

Everyone broke out in cold sweat. When they worked with Situ An, they didn’t think he was that special. However, after he ‘betrayed’ them, they realised how scary he was.

“If he’s really behind this, there has to be a goal for him to do all these…” Jing Tuoshen suddenly thought of something. His bloody glove controlled the buttons. An investigation centre building at the northern port city appeared on screen. To handle the tragedy, the investigation centre built a new city near the isolated northern port city. All the buildings in the new city were meant to hold back against the tragedy. The research centres and the stuff taken out of the anomalies were stored there.

The north port new city not only had the research centres but also the real high-ups of the Han Hai headquarters and their family members. Based on the headquarters rules, only those who had contributed in the anomalies could send their families to live in the new city. The new city was like Noah’s Ark. Many investigators risked their lives to enter the anomalies for the sake of the ark’s tickets.

“That madman…”

…

The storm had ceased. Before the night faded away, Gao Ming arrived at the east city’s Bo Wan Village. The village was hidden in the deep mountain. Many strange events had occurred there. Even if the security members followed him, Gao Ming had the confidence to shake them off.

Gao Ming pulled back the curtain of the clinic. He ate some simple food. Then, he had the God of Flesh and Blood toss Xia Yang out of the torture room.
