Chapter 219: Home From Home

“Gao Ming?” Situ An didn’t show panic or fear when he saw Gao Ming appear before him. He narrowed his eyes and revealed a trace of happiness, “Finally, someone to talk to.”

“Why do you start narrowing your eyes when talking to someone? Is it Xia Yang’s influence?” Gao Ming held onto the chain that cut through Situ An’s body. It was like he was talking to a friend and not his nemesis.

“That artist is very scary. He’ll one day replace you.” Situ An stared at Gao Ming, “To be honest, I still don’t know why I lost. I admit you’re a clever person, but you’re leagues behind people like Xia Yang and me.”

“Is that so?”

“How can I put it? It’s like I’m a father watching my son. Your schemes and plans are rough and simple, but... they are very effective.” Situ An thought about it, “You’re like a student who knows the answer to the test, a cheater.”

“You’re not wrong.” Gao Ming nodded, “But that makes me happy still.”

“But there will be the next Situ An, and the shadow world will infiltrate the real world. The tragedies will still happen.” Situ An wanted to share his understanding with Gao Ming. Everything was fated, and humans were powerless. This was the conclusion he reached after fighting with fate.

“No. It doesn’t matter who the next Situ An is. I don’t care about tragedy and the real world. I just wanted to kill you. A world without you is very important to me.” Gao Ming could start his life again. Even if the future might be more painful, Gao Ming wouldn’t hesitate. He wanted to store the source of pain and despair in his heart.

“Then...” Situ An was silent for a while, “What if you became the next Situ An?”

“Me?”

“You thought you had escaped the cycle, but this might be the arrangement of fate.” Situ An had an indecipherable smile. “Xia Yang hasn’t returned after so long, and you have appeared. Clearly, you’ve seen the backup I left behind. Everyone at Han Hai has already known that I have been killed by the investigation centre for the sake of humanity.”

“Hmm?” Rain fell on his body. Gao Ming stood on the rooftop and pondered Situ An’s last words, “Hiding the dead bodies at my home? Is the home the human heart? Is that Situ An’s hint for me?” Gao Ming took out the first death portrait he obtained. He was surrounded by his parents at his birthday party.

“I’m a parent too. Where is my home?”

“If you miss home, you should go back.” Zhang Ding hugged Gao Ming’s shoulders. “But what we need to do now is to bring Xia Yang back. The man is crazy. If we wait any longer, no one will be left alive inside the centre.”

“Yes. You’re right.”

Han Hai had been sent into chaos by Situ An. To ensure that more people would remember him, he turned everything upside down. The secrets of many big shots were exposed. As the tragedy expanded, human tragedies occurred as well. This formerly brilliant city was consumed by anger, fear and anxiety. As the night deepened, more humans were affected.

The anomaly reports were stacked up on the investigation centre’s tables. Half of them were not related to ghosts. Situ An ignited the suppressed human emotions. Even though they knew there were many ghosts outside, “citizens” wandered into the streets.

“Situ An wants to destroy the real world, but this is the perfect chance for us horror game players. We’ll become the citizens’ new rock.” Putting on the observer mask made by Wen Xuan, Gao Ming entered Queens Street with the other ‘players’.

The fake players explored the centre carefully. The real horror game players had already started their massacre to claim hope and faith.

Other than Gao Ming, the other ‘elites’ from Class 13 started their own resistance too.

After experiencing the ‘education’ at Han De Private School, they had changed tremendously.
