None of the security members expected Gao Ming's arrogance. Even Wan Jie darkened his expression. Gao Ming was too bold to expose his identity as a divine ghost before the investigation centre.
The headquarter’s attitude towards ghosts had always been clear-cut: elimination. If Gao Ming claimed that he was human, they still had room for negotiation.
“We’ve investigated everything about you. You and your classmates from Class 13 are not escaping.” Wan Jie stared at Gao Ming. He had not seen a situation like Gao Ming where the man and the ghost were of one body and tied together by the threads of fate.
“Escape? Why should we escape? I’ve lured you here for this moment.” Gao Ming adjusted his facial expression. He was a good psychiatrist, but at that moment, he acted like a perfect mental patient. “After you die, the shadow world will swallow Han Hai, and this void dream will be over.”
Gao Ming mimicked the expressions on the mud figurines. However, with the God of Flesh and Blood standing in the middle of the figurines, it appeared like they were all worshipping Gao Ming and the God of Flesh and Blood.
The security members saw Gao Ming and the God of Flesh and Blood standing in the middle of the black lake once they entered. They didn’t know about the existence of the bloodred city death portrait. In addition to Xia Yang’s description, they naturally thought that Gao Ming was the culprit.
Wan Jie’s eyes could see through things that normal people couldn’t. However, since Gong Xi had coincidentally swallowed the death portrait, all the twisted faith flowed towards the God of Flesh and Blood, creating the illusion that they were on the same side.
Another point that caused Wan Jie’s misjudgment was that he had seen information about the red raincoat in the files sent by Jing Tuoshen. He knew that the red raincoat had appeared at Han De Private School. She was one of the Red Spectres controlled by the research department. The fact that the red spectre was fighting the mud figurines by the black lake meant that they were enemies. Furthermore, even if the red raincoat had escaped the researchers’ control, she had distracted part of the divine figurines, thus helping the security members.
During the mission, things changed in mere seconds. He didn’t have much time to think and many decisions had to be made in an instant. As more broken figurines awakened, Wan Jie gave the order to attack.
The members of Team Three looked like they had been possessed. The hatred in their eyes materialised. No matter their gender, all of them became feminine, and bloodstains appeared on their uniforms.
There were too many security members to avoid the mud figurines in the lake. The figurines moved silently through the shadows. The first scream appeared without warning. Team Three members who walked in front were untouched, but one of the members from Team Eight suddenly disappeared.
Gao Ming underestimated the power of these people. A few of the team leaders could kill Gao Ming, much less all of them.
More mud figurines awakened at the black lake. However, due to the arrival of the security members, the pressure on the red raincoat lessened. The mud figurines retained the consciousness of the dead Gods. Compared to the red raincoat, the living security members were better targets for sacrifice and possession.
Without Gao Ming having to do anything, the mud figurines in the black lake opened their eyes. The dead consciousness surrounded the security members.
“Now, do you know who should escape?” Gao Ming stood on the shoulders of the God of Flesh and Blood. He cackled openly and without fear.
“Leader, this might be a trap. The painter's ghost probably directed us here on purpose.” The vice leader of Team Eight was worried and told Wan Jie.
Wan Jie didn’t give the order to stop, and he kept his eyes on Gao Ming, “Keep moving forward. Do not let go of any opportunity to capture him.”
Gao Ming laughed happily as he scanned the security members. Xuan Wen, who hid behind the God of Flesh and Blood, tried to approach the red raincoat as they prepared to retreat.
Why wouldn’t they escape? The power of the mud figurines was uneven. Some were powerful, and some were not. Gao Ming had no idea how many figurines were at the bottom of the lake. If something scary really appeared, he wouldn’t have the chance to escape.
“Now, I just need to wait for the God of Flesh and Blood.”
Gao Ming urged the God of Flesh and Blood. At the same time, he noticed Xia Yang, who was trapped inside the wall. Teacher Xia resisted the urge to contact Gao Ming to prevent Wan Jie from noticing anything.
