Chapter 289: Escape

“Reinforcement?” When the patients inside the hospital saw the security members, they couldn’t react instantly. Some of the lunatics cheered joyfully, shouting that they had been saved. The security members, in their clear-cut uniforms, cut through the meat walls and chased away the shadow. However, they didn't bring light.

“Finally, you’ve come! I’ve imagined this so many times already. Finally, someone will save us from this demonic lair!” Most patients were trapped there by Lu Zang and Situ An. They were desperate for freedom. They were unwilling to give up, but due to their immense potential, Situ An transformed them into toys and placed them at home.

“Save you?” The Team 3 Leader threw the wall aside. His eyes shone with complications. The patients had been corrupted by shadow. They were not humans or ghosts. The investigation centre had a clear rule that these creatures had to be exterminated to prevent the corruption from spreading.

A pale paper doll appeared behind a patient. The paper doll’s arm easily poked through the patient’s chest. Like a naughty pet, it swallowed the patient’s heart. With blood on its lips, the paper doll floated on the wind to a thin elder.

The hand with the blood band raised. A stack of paper money fluttered in the air. The elder was the leader of Team Four. He looked like a kind, friendly elder but was extremely cruel. After lighting three joss sticks, the elder tossed out more paper dolls from his sleeves.

The security members entered through the opening. They were the strongest trump cards cultivated by the headquarters.

The patients were surrounded by security members and the awakened divine figurines. If they knew the outside world was so despairing, they’d stay as toys.

“Li San Hospital has become the lair of demons. It is a nail the shadow world has pinned into the real world. We need to level this place.” Team Leader One silently appeared beside Team Leader Three. He adjusted his watch, “It looks like we’re going to work overtime.”

“He must have done this to revive a certain God. Look at the source of the shadow.” The Leader of Team One pointed at the lake centre. All the chaos originated from there. Everyone turned their eyes. Their gazes were fixated on the God of Flesh and Blood. The divine ghost with eight arms stood in the middle of all the figurines like all the figurines were there to revive him.

The few teams worked together perfectly and revealed no weaknesses.

The patients that approached them perished instantly. The leader of Team One and the members of Team Three, who were dominated by hatred, were like two sharp lances. In a few minutes, they had reached the edge of the black lake.

“Gao Ming, this is not good. They are coming for you.” Xuan Wen stood behind the God of Flesh and Blood.

“The God of Flesh and Blood requires time to control the bloodred city. I need to figure out a way to have them fight the divine figurines.” Gao Ming narrowed his eyes. His mind was connected to Xia Yang, who was trapped inside the wall. Both of them stared at the opening in the wall made by the security members. “Now is not the time to run.”

The leader of Team Eight had compiled all the information about Gao Ming. Wan Jie memorised everything after he scanned them.

Through the black lake that was made from shadows, Wan Jie took out the order given by the headquarters. “Gao Ming, we suspect you are involved in many anomalies in Han Hai. You sacrifice the citizens in the hopes of reviving the divine ghost to overturn Han Hai. Now, Han Hai Headquarters has officially released the order to detain you.”

“Did you misunderstand something?” Sitting on the God of Flesh and Blood’s shoulder, Gao Ming scoffed at Wan Jie. However, he still replied to the man politely, “I have done none of that. Everything I do, I do because I am the divine ghost!”

The divine figurines opened their eyes. Gao Ming appeared to be on the same side as them. Even his arrogant expression mimicked theirs.
