Chapter 316: Ghost Face
Da Zai Electrical Company Employee’s Residential Area had been infiltrated by the faceless figurine. It was the source of all the anomalies. To return this place back to normal, one had to destroy the mud figurine, as detailed on Dead Water Forum. Gao Ming came to the seventh floor and was surprised by what he saw.
A resident with a ruined face was hanged at the entrance to the living room. Fan Li was surrounded by four dark shadows.
“Has the whole family been mutated?”
Hearing the sound, the dark figure slowly turned around. The dark hair covered its face as it stared at Gao Ming. Its face was blank. The facial features had been wiped away. Only a pair of eyes remained on the uneven face.
Including the girl who was trapped inside the torture room, the family of five shared the same facial features. Even though they had different bodies, they shared the same soul. The mother had the eyes; the father had the ears; the grandfather had the nose...
When Gao Ming saw them, his brain was assaulted. Four different faces entered his mind to bite at his memory.
“No wonder people can’t see their faces. That violates the rules of the faceless figurine. This allows them to enter normal people’s brains to consume their memories.”
As they lost their memories, normal people would lose their faces, becoming puppets that couldn’t see, listen, smell, or hear.
Gao Ming didn’t care that he had seen their faces. He evoked the death memories. “Enjoy the feast.”
The hungry ghosts started to scream like they had consumed poison.
Fan Li, who had been suppressed, caught this opportunity. The man had been keeping his eyes closed. He pulled out a knife from the back of his waist. He cut his palm and allowed his blood to wet the blade.
“I have no history with any of you, but such is the nature of the world. I know the pain you’re in. Let me send you on your way!” Fan Li said righteously. Gao Ming felt embarrassed for him. However, Fan Li believed this was a necessary procedure. It was how he felt okay with the ‘murders’.
Gao Ming opened the torture room. The chains pierced the bodies of the dark figures. The God of Flesh and Blood touched Fan Li’s will. God dripped a drop of blood rife with the fragrance of meat into Fan Li’s mouth. This meant that Fan Li’s fate had been effectively tied to Gao Ming’s fate.
Compared to a feast, the God of Flesh and Blood wanted to use this method to continuously gain something from Fan Li.
The mirror shattered. Fan Li’s reflection glared at the God of Flesh and Blood. Its true body was not there, so it couldn’t stop Gao Ming.
The chains rankled. The God of Flesh and Blood sent the whole family into the torture room. The living room quieted down.
After gaining Fan Li’s will, the God of Flesh and Blood’s Human Face became more alive.
“It looks like Gao Yun’s method is really useful! I wonder how many people’s will I need to nurture someone into a dream ghost.”
The danger was temporarily resolved. Gao Ming didn’t stay. He ran back to the sixth floor. He shouted at Ou Yang Susu and Brother Lee so they could open their eyes.
“Is the ghost gone?” Brother Lee slumped to the ground. He pointed up the stairs weakly, “Go to the seventh floor! Xiao Fan is still up there!”
Gao Ming and Ou Yang Susu came to the seventh floor. Fan Li lay before the broken mirror. His face had returned to normal.
“Xiao Fan!” Ou Yang Susu shook Fan Li’s body. Finally, Fan Li woke up.
“Sis, I’ll throw up if you shake me any further.” Holding his head, Fan Li looked around. “Did I do this?”
Fan Li remembered using his head to crash into the mirror. However, some of the shards had flown more than several meters away from him. Was the collision that strong?
