Chapter 360: Chaos Beyond Gods' Prediction
“Do you still want to stay here?” The flesh Gao Ming turned to Fan Li. “I don’t know what drew you here. Perhaps the Gao Ming you’re looking for are in the other rooms, but I’m not sure when they’ll come out.” While the grandmother was drawn away by the painter Gao Ming, they tried the other rooms, but no door opened.
“Each room represents a choice. Perhaps the other Gao Mings have their difficulties.” Fan Li didn’t press it. He took a deep breath as he made a choice, “I’ll follow you. We’ll meet up with my other teammates and figure out a way to escape.” When Fan Li approached the flesh Gao Ming, the summon in his heart grew stronger. This was something he didn’t experience with the rebellious Gao Ming.
“Grandmother hasn’t returned, so we still have time. We can split up when the danger is here.” Liu Yi’s gaze was on the flesh Gao Ming. She felt that the man still had something he was hiding from them.
“Don’t we need to find the correct Gao Ming?” The rebellious Gao Ming pulled up his uniform zipper. “Are we sure we can leave now?”
“Fate is always changing. If you start making the correct choices now, you might become the correct Gao Ming,” Liu Yi exited the room with her present. “Come. Let’s find a way out of here first!”
“Based on the memory fragments in my flesh, Everlasting Life Apartments’ figurines trapped me here. We’ve taken a big step by escaping from my cage.” The flesh Gao Ming looked at the present Liu Yi was holding. “By the way, can I take a look at your present? I want to know what exactly is a present.”
“No. The present is someone’s indelible memory and someone’s most hidden secret.” Liu Yi rejected him directly.
“You are exactly as I remembered. Always so aloof,” The rebellious Gao Ming asked, “Liu Yi, are you married?” Sensing the gazes from the others, the rebellious Gao Ming added, “I didn’t mean anything by that. Since you once liked me, so…”
“We’ll depart now.” Liu Yi put the student council badge back on and closed her eyes. “Follow me.” They put their hands on Liu Yi’s shoulders. The badge on her arm bled. “Come.” The group rushed down the stairs.
…The painter Gao Ming carried the figurine and ran through the apartment. The figurine he held had the power to corrupt part of the rules inside the building. Many outsiders managed to escape from the endless loops thanks to it. However, the painter Gao Ming didn’t fare so well. The grandmother was hot on his tail. She was so relentless that she was more like a hunter than an elder.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
As the rules inside the building collapsed, many outsiders accidentally regained their consciousness.
“If you keep following me, I’ll smash it!” The painter Gao Ming had fled for a long time, but he still hadn’t found the exit. The corridors connected to one another indefinitely. The painter Gao Ming lost a lot of his power, and he gasped for air. He was almost out of breath. He turned around and hissed.
The grandmother’s corpse stood up. Its face was horrifying, “Return it to me! Follow me home!” Her howls were non-human-like. The red clothes stuck to her skin. Her mouth was cracked and wrinkled. At the corner of the staircase, Wan Jie half-knelt on the ground. He tried to control his breathing. “The horror game rules at Everlasting Life Apartments and Prosperity Neighbourhood have been altered. Everyone who has entered them will have their memories and powers taken away from them!” Wan Jie knew of the two figurines previously hidden deep inside the lake of Li San Hospital. He was the one who released them. He didn’t think Gods’ power could be so oppressive. If not for his special pair of eyes, he would be lost inside Everlasting Life Apartments.
“I need to awaken my other members and find a way to reactivate the power inside our ghost tattoos. But the target is right before me…” Wan Jie stared at Gao Ming. While Wan Jie hesitated, a scream came out from the room close to the painter Gao Ming. Blood leaked out from the door. The door was kicked open.
The large Zuo Jun held a fruit knife. A giant wound ran down his left arm. A death portrait was lodged inside it.
“I remember it now. Gao Ming! Gao Ming! The investigation centre’s biggest threat is here!”
Due to the painter Gao Ming’s approach, the death portrait in Zuo Jun’s arm wiggled like a worm. It sent waves of pain through his body. This was something Jing Tuoshen had done to the East City security team. The headquarters found a death portrait related to Gao Ming in the recent searches. The headquarters treated the picture with a special method and sewed the pieces into the team members’ flesh. Once Gao Ming appeared around them, the portrait pieces would awaken them with the most painful method. Even though he couldn’t use the ghost tattoo, Zuo Jun’s physical and fighting skills were top-notch. His brain was still blurry as if torn apart by two forces. Unstable factors inside the building grew. The painter Gao Ming reached into his bag and painted on the figurine. He tried to destroy it at first, but the figurine was tougher than he had thought. Since he couldn’t take it down, he didn’t want others to get it either. The madman painted all the curses and sins onto the mud figurine. He had lost the chance to become Gao Ming. Therefore, he changed his goal. If he could swallow this figurine, he’d become the new owner of these two neighbourhoods.
“Gao Ming!” Zuo Jun exited the room with a bleeding arm. His face was twisted from pain. “Once I kill you, everything will return to normal!”
The painter Gao Ming narrowed his eyes. Somehow, everyone in this building wanted Gao Ming dead.
The painter Gao Ming rammed through Zuo Jun. He didn’t dare to give the man much time to recover.
“You can’t escape!”
Zuo Jun growled angrily. He stabbed at Gao Ming’s neck!
The painter Gao Ming didn’t hold back. He used the mud figurine as a weapon to block the stab. The painter Gao Ming’s fingers dulled from pain. He knew he couldn’t win Zuo Jun in brute strength. He turned tail and ran.
As more curses were drawn on the figurine, the grandmother’s conditions became more unhinged. She pounced at them. Zuo Jun only discovered her at this moment.
Zuo Jun’s legs wobbled. Without any hesitation, he also started to flee.
