“I am crazy, but don’t you know why?” Yuan Hui’s face was twisted.
The kind Gao Ming had no idea what Yuan Hui was talking about. “I’ve forgotten many things… If I’m really the reason why you’ve become , I’m willing to apologise to you, and I’ll do anything to make it up to you!”
“Make it up to me?” Yuan Hui’s eyes darkened. “A life for a life! Give me your life then!” Yuan Hui pulled out the knife he hid behind him and pounced at Gao Ming.
“We can talk this out! I’m sure this is a misunderstanding!” The kind Gao Ming cried, but Yuan Hui refused to listen. He chased after Gao Ming with superhuman speed.
“Die! Die! Every mistake starts with you! Use your life to repent on it!” Yuan Hui’s howls travelled far in the building.
“Shush. You’ll lure other things over!” There were other security members in Yuan Hui’s room. Every one of them had a wound on their arms. The kind Gao Ming turned back to look. Yuan Hui was twice as fast as he was. He was slowly catching up to him, and other people were helping him.
“This is bad!” The kind Gao Ming retraced his steps. The normal Gao Ming, who was hilding, waved at him. The two hid in the same room.
“Where did his footsteps go?” Yuan Hui rushed up the stairs and studied the quiet corridor. “Gone into hiding, right?” With a wicked smile on his face, Yuan Hui caressed the doors on both sides with his bloody fingers. “Why did you stop running and decide to hide like a rat? I’ll repay ten times the pain you’ve given me.” The knife landed on the wooden door on the left. Yuan Hui destroyed the door like a mad dog. He looked into the dark room. “Not here?” The first room on the left was empty. Yuan Hui turned to the second room. He was not in a hurry because he had the upper hand.
“Gao Ming, do you know? I don’t even hate Wang Jie and Xi San. I don’t even care about Qian Junran, who mocked me the most. I hate you. You are worse than me in everything. Why weren’t you the one being ostracised and bullied?” The knife cut into the door. Yuan Hui reached inside his open wound. “Situ An and Zuo Jun have entrapped my wife and girlfriend. They said that once I managed to trick all the students from Class 13 into Han De Private School and complete the ritual, they would return them to me. They would also give me endless wealth and power!” Yuan Hui’s voice dripped with hatred, “The plan almost succeeded! But you had to ruin it!” Yuan Hui kicked down another door. “Sure! Keep on hiding!”
“Shut up!” Half of Yuan Hui’s face was ruined. He looked like an ugly monster.
The taller member took out his blade. “The picture fragment has travelled into his heart. He has been fully taken over by the hatred on the fragment.”
The female member sighed. Jing Tuoshen had done unspeakable things to the picture fragments to ensure that his people would finish their mission no matter what.
“You have no idea what I’ve been through. You are just like Gao Ming from high school! You did nothing, so you are considered an accomplice!”
The knife sliced through the door. Yuan Hui made a louder noise. He ruined three doors. When he reached the fourth door, his teammates couldn’t stand it anymore. They moved to stop him.
“Move!” Yuan Hui was mentally unstable. He poked the knife into the door. “Gao Ming, don’t you want to make up for your mistake? You fake bastard, why don’t you live up to your words?”
Yuan Hui destroyed the fourth door. He stormed into the room screaming. As the lights turned on, his ugly expression froze, and he stopped cursing.
The shadow swayed on his face. Yuan Hui and his two teammates saw Gao Ming hanging from the light fixture in the living room. Wires curled around his neck. His face was purple, and his eyes bulged.
“Has he committed suicide?” The female member’s eyes twitched. The tall member was shocked.
The hanging body swayed like a pendulum. Yuan Hui’s hand that held the knife relaxed. He entered the room, sliced through the wires and tossed Gao Ming’s corpse out into the corridor.
“He is really dead. Did he kill himself from guilt?” The tall member still couldn’t believe him. “What a cruel self-reflection. You killed our target with your words.”
“But his body temperature is too low, and the strangulation mark around his neck doesn’t match.” The female member ignored Yuan Hui and cut open Gao Ming’s chest. Then, she placed her arm wound next to Gao Ming’s chest. “Jing Tuoshen said that the death portrait in our bodies is related to Gao Ming. If this body is really him, then it’ll resonate with the portrait…” Before she could finish, the fragment was like a piranha that had sensed blood. It flowed out through her wound and entered the corpse’s chest.
“It worked! This is really Gao Ming! We’ve eliminated the first of our three targets!” After the portrait fragment left her body, she felt so much better without the constant pain. “This is quite easy. If we’re outside, we definitely won’t be able to deal with Gao Ming. Thankfully, Jing Tuoshen has made a deal with the Gods here behind the headquarters…” The female member caught herself and shut up.
“Stop talking.” The tall member pulled the fragment out of his body as well. He was worried about the corpse, so he used his knife to cut off the joints where Gao Ming’s limbs were connected, “Our next target is Wan Jie.”
Yuan Hui still had concerns, but strange commotion came from the corridor.
Wan Jie, who got the mud figurine, was racing upstairs. The grandmother chased after him. To escape, Wan Jie tried many things but his power was limited in the building as well. He was already drained just to prevent memory loss.
“Tall one, carry Gao Ming’s corpse. We’ll go take a look.” After Yuan Hui sent the portrait fragment into Gao Ming’s chest, he slowly calmed down. He still felt that something was not right, but he had something more important to do.
