“He’s here!”
Before the warning echoed away, the God of Flesh and Blood had already changed direction.
“And... he’s gone?!”
The red raincoat and the security members attracted a lot of mud figurines. The sudden assault by the God of Flesh and Blood surprised the mud figurines in the black lake.
“Enjoy my presents for you!”
Gao Ming hadn’t shed the disguise of madness. After he gave the God of Flesh and Blood the order, he started to hypnotise himself into believing that he was a cruel murderer.
The red raincoat and Xuan Wen retreated in advance. Gao Ming had the God of Flesh and Blood open the torture room door. Before he left, he shouted at the patients, “If you want to live, come in here!”
The patients had been detained by Situ An for so long, and now, they were surrounded by the security members and the mud figurines. They entered the torture room without thinking. Compared to the murderous security members and the mud figurines, Gao Ming was willing to communicate with them. Earlier, it was also Gao Ming who brought them out of that home.
“Leave?” Gao Ming’s summon was the sound of salvation for the patients, but it confused the security members greatly.
Is the man insane? A few seconds ago, he bragged about killing everyone, but at this moment, he wanted to flee.
The man had the upper hand. He had set up a giant net. They were trapped in the net. But he chose to leave at this point?
The leader of Team One cursed. Wrinkles grew on his wrist. The watch couldn’t be stopped once time started to rewind. He paid a heavy price, but the expected battle did not happen.
The slumbering mud figurines were Situ An’s last effects and his last revenge on the real world. The madman had decided to die with Han Hai from the very start. He probably wanted to use this to negotiate with the real higher-ups at Han Hai at the key moment, but Gao Ming killed him before he had that chance.
“Those mud figurines are probably why those people are so desperate to save Situ An.” Gao Ming had the protection of the God of Flesh and Blood, so normal ghosts didn’t dare to come close to him.
“Not necessarily. There might be people from the shadow world at the headquarters.” Xuan Wen was more familiar with the dark sides of humanity than Gao Ming was. The irony was she was right most of the time.
There were many strange and scary existences inside Li San Hospital. However, Gao Ming didn’t have time to explore further. With the aid of the God of Flesh and Blood, they came to the first floor underground.
Seeing the locked door at the end of the corridor and the talismans pasted on the door, Gao Ming had the God of Flesh and Blood try to turn it into flesh. To Gao Ming's surprise, even the God of Flesh and Blood couldn’t open the door easily. In the end, God had to work together with the red raincoat to break the door down.
Gao Ming rushed down the stairs beyond the door. The chilly air condensed into liquid as they dripped from the ceiling. After a few steps, Gao Ming looked between the bannisters.
Strange buildings were scattered underground. Many shadows Gao Ming had not encountered before wandered among the hospital rooms. There appeared to be another hospital underneath Li San Hospital.
Images flashed in his mind. Gao Ming felt like he had been there a long time ago.
Gao Ming took out Mr. Question’s map and barged into the morgue. The place was extremely quiet as if it were a monster that fed on sound.
Gao Ming walked past the empty beds and noticed a wet trail on the ground.
“Before I came here, I met a horror game player called Yang Yu. He and his family used to live underneath the hospital. His mother was the manager of the morgue.” Xuan Wen thought for a while and took out a note with a bloody handprint. “I promised to lead him back to the hospital. He owes me. I hope his family will recognise that.”
