Chapter 251: Fight
There was no Han Hai on the map, but Xuan Wen lived in Han Hai. Her friends, life, and emotions in the city were real. Both the memory given to her by the shadow world and her own experience were related to Han Hai. However, something was trying to tell her that everything was fake.
“Why isn’t Han Hai on this map?”
The slender, bloodless fingers touched the spot where Han Hai should be. Li San Hospital was the home of the ill. The map was probably drawn by some crazy person.
“Which side is real? Which side is fake?
“Have we been living in a nightmare that we can’t wake up from?
“If Han Hai really doesn’t exist, how can we exist in this city?”
Lu Zang said everyone in this city was controlled by fate, and everyone lived and died according to fate’s script. However, a few people had become fate’s loopholes. Li San Hospital was built to find these loopholes. Each patient there could be fate’s loopholes. Their mental and physical anomalies were proof of their escape from fate’s control.
“I need to figure out a way to bring this map out with me.” Xuan Wen failed to find the owner of the ward. The person seemed to have predicted something and disappeared from the nightmare. Xuan Wen yanked the map off the wall. She found a complicated divine pattern behind the map. Every line seemed to be marked by destiny. The perfect lines intertwined to form a bloodred city. There were many exquisite buildings in this city. Each building’s doors and buildings were open. Anyone could enter them.
“It feels like I’ve found the answer to a question that I don’t know. Is this city the ending point or the starting point? Why is it the centre for all the formulas?” Xuan Wen put the map in her bag. Xuan Wen discovered a barely discernible crack on the wall covered up by the map. She inched her fingers into it, and the crack expanded. Pills fell out. There were so many kinds.
“Has the patient in Room 7003 been tricking the hospital? He didn’t take the pills and hid them before escaping...” Xuan Wen took out an empty bottle and stuffed the pills inside it. She was just about to leave Room 7003 when she saw a glint moving outside the window. Xuan Wen moved subconsciously to the window. Xuan Wen turned to the first floor of Li San Hospital’s front building. Her gaze wandered between the lights. She caught a blurry figure. The person seemed to be wearing a mask she made.
The blood band vibrated. The security member’s gaze turned serious. The blood band would only vibrate when it detected specific horror game players. Based on the images sent over by the East City investigation centre, the security member confirmed the identity of the horror game player before him. He was Class 13 member Qian Junran, who had incited the crowd to fight against the centre!
The fingers cracked. The tattoos around the fingers crawled into the man’s body. The security member removed the top two buttons of his uniform. He took out a blade that was bound with strands of long hair. The hairs naturally curled around the security member’s arm. He raised his arm. He pointed the blade at Gao Ming. The tattoos on his body were activated. A long-haired woman crawled out of the man’s collar like a snake. She curled around his body and his neck.
“Have they branded the ghosts into their bodies? That is similar to my method of painting on Red Spectres.” Xia Yang scratched his chin. “The human body is the canvas and paint. The ghost is my artwork.”
Gao Ming had no time to listen to Xia Yang. Gao Ming and Xuan Wen had a special method of communication. However, all modes of communication had been cut off. They couldn’t sense each other’s location.
“The sky is darkening. The anomalies are slowly surfacing. The loss of communication can be due to the unique environment or human actions.”
Xuan Wen appeared many times in Gao Ming’s memories of death. She had always died before Gao Ming, and she had saved him more than once.
“Even though she can’t remember anything, I remember everything.”
Gao Ming charged forward with his bare fists. His crazily pounding heart was like a burning ball of fire!
The black hair curled around the arm. The security member shivered from the chill. He aimed at Gao Ming’s heart. However, before he could move the blade, a giant bloody shadow enveloped him. The giant bloody hand grabbed him by his face and slammed him into the ground!
The other bloody hand grabbed the long-haired ghost by her neck. The ghostly roar echoed through the lobby. The arms tore the long-haired ghost and the security member into pieces.
