The passengers in the bus behind who dressed normally were Gao Ming’s old classmates from Class 13. Those in red clothes were the scariest ghosts!
To see his own killer, Gao Ming repeated his worst deaths and ‘invited’ all the scariest ghosts out. This fatal blow done by Gao Ming was forged by fate’s multiple slashes.
“Stay on the bus and don’t go anywhere.” Gao Ming didn’t actually need to leave the bus, but he was afraid that he might draw his killer to the bus and kill the students. “I’ll drive you home after I’m done with this.”
Gao Ming smiled as he opened the bus door. He raised the divine fire and appeared like a crazy demon. Red blood threads moved under his feet. The divine patterns on the other bus were activated. The ghosts stood beside the bus. Gao Ming had gathered every ghost in the east city. Masks surrounded Gao Ming. The ghosts wore the same mask, but the designs were different. Gao Ming, who stood in the middle, appeared like the king of the demons. He stunned the students who saw him. The guidance NPC suddenly acted like the final boss.
The black mist in the tunnel boiled after being triggered by so much resentment. However, this tunnel was extremely special. The Unmentionables outside the tunnel didn’t seem to have the power to enter it.
“Different forces exist in true reality and true death. I’ve seen the twelve blood cities in the night. The owners aren’t united. My existence is the evidence of the conflict between them. I might be fate’s weakness or loophole.”
The footsteps in his heart never stopped due to the ghost’s appearance. He moved faster, like he might appear before Gao Ming in the next moment.
The water from the sky seeped into the mist. Darkness and time intertwined. Gao Ming’s corpses in the wall seemed to sense something. They struggled mightily not to escape but to look down a certain direction.
Gao Ming raised the altar and slowly turned to look down the tunnel. With each drop of the water, it sounded like a world shattered.
“Everyone has their script written when they were born. From the beginning to the end, everything has its own place.” The familiar statement was recited. Gao Ming stared in the dark. His left eye burned the past while his right eye constructed the future, “You kill me again and again to bring me back here. Do you think this is part of fate’s script?”
The person who killed Gao Ming the most was right before him. The person was like an executioner hidden in time. Whenever he tried to approach the truth or leave the tunnel, they would murder Gao Ming mercilessly. The person also loved to collect Gao Ming’s corpses.
“I’m curious. Why are you doing this? To keep a secret? To stop me? To be fate’s dog? To help me repeat my life so that I’d become the current me?
“Everyone has their reason to be obsessed with something. You’ve killed me so many times. This is more than just mere revenge. Can you tell me the truth?”
The flame in his hands weakened with time. The voice didn’t directly appear behind Gao Ming like before. This meant that Gao Ming had changed many things, at least enough to make the other party cautious. He had gained the right to speak with the other party.
“Are you scared? Why don’t you come after me directly? When there’s a chance of being murdered, nothing is scary anymore.”
Gao Ming and all the corpses on the wall looked down into the darkness.
A light sigh came from a certain spot.
“Nothing can be changed no matter how hard you struggle because the ending has already been decided. What you’re doing is merely increasing your pain. I will keep waiting at the destination of death to kill every moment of you.”
The experience of the past faded in colour as the names disappeared from his mind. The feeling of losing oneself was harrowing. The killer’s voice carried the power of the rules. The words that came out of his mouth would become reality. Gao Ming’s memory blurred. The colours drained away from his mind until the torture room door swung open!
A loud howl cut through the mist. Gao Ming removed his control of the God of Flesh and Blood. He allowed his consciousness to flow into God. The heart of God and the heart of Flesh pounded at the same time. The corpses on the wall started to flake off bits of their flesh. Their bodies exuded life force and meat fragrance. The blood city tattoo spread through Gao Ming’s body. The torture room expanded. It blocked the flow of the mist with force.
“Can you still kill me this time?”
The four faces of God glared angrily. The strength of a Dream Ghost was based on its control of the horror game rules. Each Dream Ghost had its own set of rules. No one was stronger than the God of Flesh and Blood in terms of control over the rules of flesh and blood.
“No one can escape fate. Everything that derails from the path will be corrected.” The footsteps rapidly approached. The owner of the voice understood that he couldn’t allow Gao Ming to keep going, “No matter how you grow or change, the ending has been decided.”
“I believe I’ve located you!” Focusing on where the water droplets were flowing backwards, Gao Ming lunged forward. The eight arms carried the aura of blood and smashed at the darkness before Gao Ming!
“It’s pointless. I know everything about you and have seen more endings than you.” The voice’s last word suddenly appeared beside Gao Ming’s ears. “Therefore, please continue your cycle in this despairing darkness!”
A sense of imminent danger appeared behind his head. Actually, when this happened, Gao Ming’s head had already been punctured. However, due to the interruption of an unknown law, everything reverted to the state it was one second ago.
The ghosts parted away. Under the cover of their presence, a masked Fan Li appeared, carrying a headless baby.
Gao Yun’s power was rewind. Gao Yun’s calculation was so precise that if he were one second too early or too late, everything would begin again.
Gao Ming swallowed the divine fire and turned around as his killer launched his attack.
In that one second, he caught the other party’s face from the corner of his eyes.
It was a face that he couldn’t be more familiar with. It was a face that he saw daily.
