Chapter 225: Standing Door

The original appearance of the door couldn’t be seen anymore due to the embedded investigators. However, Zhang Ding could sense that there was something very scary hidden in the door. The thing hid underneath the investigators and stared back at Zhang Ding.

“This is troublesome.” Just as Zhang Ding finished speaking, eight thick arms grabbed the edge of the bloodred door. Gong Xi walked out of the torture room and stood behind Gao Ming. Without any warning, Gong Xi hugged the door with the harshest method. With Gao Ming’s order, Gong Xi sunk his legs into the bloody mess. The four ghost faces roared as he tried to lift the door up from the ground.

“You’re crazy!” Zhang Ding had no choice but to cooperate with Gao Ming. He used the water to blast at the spot where the door was connected to the ground. After he washed away the bloody blob, roots-like capillaries were exposed.

“The blood door uses these capillaries to grow into the building.”

The capillaries crawled all over the tenth floor. To move this door, one had to sever all the vessels first. The building trembled. Gao Ming ‘uprooted’ the door at the core of the east city investigation centre.

Gao Ming tried to send Gong Xi back into his heart. However, Gong Xi couldn’t even approach Gao Ming’s heart, much less send the door into his heart.

“Let’s leave for now.” Zhang Ding tried carrying the door back into his death portrait, but he failed as well. “The door is the passage that connects the two worlds. However, neither of the worlds wishes for the door to exist.” With no other choice, Zhang Ding covered the door with a black cloth and carried it on his back. “Let’s go and salvage anything else useful.”

The two went down the corridor. Gao Ming felt like someone was staring at him. He turned to look down the corridor that led to the 11th floor. Just as he was about to walk away, Xia Yang suddenly said, “The training programs this place has for the newbies are quite interesting. Some of them might benefit you.”

“A ghost that manages to grab your attention must be a special one.” Gao Ming knew Xia Yang very well. He walked to the 11th floor, but he couldn’t find the sign of any ghost.

“You always refuse to trust me.” Xia Yang paced around the torture room. He smiled.

Situ An stared at him. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.

“The investigation centre has the list of every student in Class 13. You can’t escape. You should use the door as bait to lure the security members over.” Xia Yang suggested.

“Why don’t you put it at my home? My son and I used to live at the cross-section of Da Zai and Li San.” Zhang Ding suggested, “Even ten years ago, the place was the dirtiest area in Han Hai. The population number was more than ten thousand. It was a lawless place. We could find a spot to put it and then arrange for our people to guard it. It will take the investigation centre some time to find it.”

“What if they find it?” Teacher Xia whispered to Gao Ming with excitement, “I can help you deal with everyone that you hate. You only need to let me leave your heart temporarily. I will bring them back to you.” Xia Yang became stronger after taking over the east city investigation centre. Gao Ming didn’t know how he did it, but his powers became even stranger.

“Gao Ming, we need to return.” Wei Dayou exited the centre vehicle. “Those who have been infected can’t stay away from the shadow world for too long.”

“Okay. We’ll follow Boss Zhang’s advice.”

They abandoned the vehicles and entered the complicated alleys. The place was crowded with illegal buildings. After they walked for half an hour, they came to Zhang Ding’s home. To everyone’s surprise, even though ten years had passed, someone still came to drop fresh flowers and candles before Zhang Ding’s home.

The other houses were messy and dirty, but Zhang Ding’s home was clean. No one came to squat at his home either.

“Is it because I saved those people in the flood?” Zhang Ding scratched his head. “I haven’t returned in a while.”

Zhang Ding removed the kitchen door and then leaned the bloodred door against the wall. The moment the door touched the door, the blood vessels crawled out and drilled into the ground. Soon, it would consume the building and spread new anomalies.

“Should we evacuate the people here?” Gao Ming asked for Zhang Ding’s opinion. Zhang Ding shook his head.

“The city will become more dangerous in the future. If anything, I think this place will be safest with your protection.”U//ppTodated fr/o/m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)\/m
