The giant tree grew onto the dresser. It coexisted with the Death Building. The door was covered in roots. This giant change grabbed everyone's attention in the lobby. Players from other floors rushed over using the elevator. Most of them carried horrifying-looking weapons.
No one moved. Gao Ming was still digesting the rewards. The blood seed grabbed the sacrifices from the dresser and absorbed the negation emotions within the Death Building. When it prepared to take over the Death Building, it was warned by the cut. In the end, it chose to coexist with the threat.
God of Flesh and Blood’s divine pattern appeared on the dresser. It became the dresser’s third divine pattern. Gao Ming gained a lot of access because of that. He could freely go into any room in the Death Building and could use the roots to force any player out. As long as he didn’t murder anyone, the knife cut wouldn’t limit him. Other than that, Gao Ming’s biggest reward was the dresser. It was like the door from the manor nightmare. However, it didn’t go to a fixed location. Based on the sacrifice, it could lead to different dreams.
After the seed grew, Gao Ming could sense the existence of the two other trees. He could travel to the nightmares where the two trees were without using any sacrifices.
“As long as I wish, I can use this dresser and the door in the manor nightmare to send the malicious players into the brains of the lab rats at Immortal Pharma!” Gao Ming’s eyes reddened as a crazy plan appeared in his mind, “Looks like I need to work faster to raise my access level to level five.”
Gao Ming felt a sudden chill. He turned back to look. A finger lingered three meters away from him. “What did you put inside the dresser?” The man didn’t put his hand down. He was shrouded in a black robe. Soul Return was carved on his fingernail.
“Zhao Gu, calm down. The Death Building is not destroyed. If anything, a lot of its old cracks have been healed. All these show that the sacrifice Gao Ming gave is incredibly helpful to the Death Building.” Brother Chong calmed down and stood between Gao Ming and the man.
“I’ll ask you again. What did you put inside the dresser?” The man had no emotion. His voice was calm but unsettling.
“If you want to fight, I’m down.” Gao Ming stood before the dresser. The shadow of the God of Flesh and Blood expanded.
Gao Ming wanted to test out the boundaries of his access to the Death Building.
“He is not an agent from Immortal Pharma, so he is not our enemy,” A hoarse voice came from the information exchange centre. ‘My teacher sent me into the tragedy’ walked over. The crowd parted away. The young man pressed a control. The monitor in the lobby started to play the information on Gao Ming. Of course, the information was available publicly. When the crowd saw how Gao Ming risked his own life to save the students from the bus, their hostility lowered. Then, Gao Ming was taken in by Immortal Pharma for treatment. His physical wounds healed quickly, but his brain appeared to be broken. Seeing this, some laughed. A lot of them had been tricked by the same method. They were forced to have brain surgery in the name of treatment.
“Gao Ming has a similar experience to us. His life is also destroyed by Immortal Pharma. The difference is he has woken up on his own. This is something that even Immortal Pharma didn’t anticipate.” The young man was mature despite his age. He also had many players’ trust.
“This place is one of our few gathering spots. Nothing can go wrong with it.” Zhao Gu put his finger down, but his attitude was still forceful, “We have to figure out what is behind this change.”
Brother Chong was helpless. He scratched the wounds on his face. In the end, he turned to Gao Ming, “Why don’t you tell everyone? Everyone can take a step back. After all, we’re allies. Once you gain their trust, they’ll watch over your back.”
“It’s not that I don’t want to, but I still don’t trust you. I’ve exhausted a lot of efforts to infiltrate Immortal Pharma. If one of the people here works for them, I’ll be exposed instantly,” Gao Ming negotiated, “However, I can secret with the management here.”
Brother Chong caught the meaning. He waved at the young man and a few players. They left the lobby and entered a side room.
“Can you speak now?” The young man from the information trade centre hugged a jar under a black cloth. The jar probably contained Xia Bing.
“I entered a deep-level nightmare when I was in surgery. The sacrifice I put into the dresser was a seed I took from that nightmare. I believe I grew it with my blood. There were three of them. Two of them I planted in two nightmares owned by Immortal Pharma.”
The players listened to Gao Ming attentively.
“The three trees can resonate with each other and grow endlessly in the nightmare. They feed on negative emotions and ghosts. Given enough time, they can pierce through different nightmares, forming channels for me to use.” As he said that, the eyes of the players changed. They understood what this meant.
If Gao Ming sided with Immortal Pharma, he could use the trees to send Immortal Pharma into this Death Building. Even the jar trembled. The managers shared a look. The atmosphere froze.
“Look at yourself.” Gao Ming knocked on the table. “Have you not considered using this power to enter Immortal Pharma’s secret labs? Have you not considered taking revenge?” Gao Ming’s words dripped with allure, “No matter what you think, I intend to rebuild a path that travels back to the deep-level world. I have my reason for going back.”
