“He’s here!”

Before the warning echoed away, the God of Flesh and Blood had already changed direction.

“And… he’s gone?!”

The red raincoat and the security members attracted a lot of mud figurines. The sudden assault by the God of Flesh and Blood surprised the mud figurines in the black lake.

“Enjoy my presents for you!”

Gao Ming hadn’t shed the disguise of madness. After he gave the God of Flesh and Blood the order, he started to hypnotise himself into believing that he was a cruel murderer.

The red raincoat and Xuan Wen retreated in advance. Gao Ming had the God of Flesh and Blood open the torture room door. Before he left, he shouted at the patients, “If you want to live, come in here!”

The patients had been detained by Situ An for so long, and now, they were surrounded by the security members and the mud figurines. They entered the torture room without thinking. Compared to the murderous security members and the mud figurines, Gao Ming was willing to communicate with them. Earlier, it was also Gao Ming who brought them out of that home.

“Leave?” Gao Ming’s summon was the sound of salvation for the patients, but it confused the security members greatly.

The man had the upper hand. He had set up a giant net. They were trapped in the net. But he chose to leave at this point?

The leader of Team One cursed. Wrinkles grew on his wrist. The watch couldn’t be stopped once time started to rewind. He paid a heavy price, but the expected battle did not happen.

“Leader?”

A lot of talismans appeared in Wan Jie’s eyes. He seemed to be crumbling down the bloodred city to detect more things inside it. In just a few seconds, Gao Ming had ‘saved’ more than ten patients. When the security members changed their formation, he quickly closed the torture room door.

The bloodlines that cut through his pupils faded away. Gao Ming lay on the back of the God of Flesh and Blood. Gao Ming told the security members openly, “Situ An set up everything here. After the mud figurines awaken, the whole city might fall into chaos. I came here to stop him, but he trapped me in the black lake. Without your reinforcement, I might have died here.”

Once Gao Ming said that, the three leaders’ faces paled. They came to capture Gao Ming but ended up saving him, with the loss of so many members. Humans were definitely more cunning than ghosts!

“This time, I’ll let you go. Next time, I won’t be so charitable anymore!” Gao Ming’s every word touched their nerves.

“Damn you!” Gao Ming didn’t stay to listen to them. After he said his piece, he had the God of Flesh and Blood pick up the wall that sealed Xia Yang and left. To fight for more time, Gao Ming had the God of Flesh and Blood adjust the opening. The power of the God of Flesh and Blood wasn’t similar to that of the meat walls. The opening would be knocked down by the security members without taking much time. Therefore, Gao Ming didn’t stay and headed to the underground morgue.

“Follow me!”

The map provided by Mr. Question marked out the exits. Gao Ming had gained a lot at Li San Hospital. All the figurines at the lake had awakened. He couldn’t stay there anymore. Holding Xuan Wen with one hand and the red raincoat in another, Gao Ming ran ahead. The red raincoat dealt with all the mud figurines alone earlier. She was greatly drained, so she couldn’t resist Gao Ming.

“Should we bring Teacher Xia out from the wall first? Those security members might be able to track us down through him.” Xuan Wen wanted to crush the wall when she saw the portrait inside the wall wave at her.

“I’ll bring Xia Yang to somewhere in the east city after we leave the hospital.” Gao Ming did this on purpose. His people were all in the old city, so he wanted to use Xia Yang to lure the security members away. Li San Hospital had fully mutated. The place was completely shrouded by shadows. It was difficult to find one thing that had not been touched by corruption.

“It is a dead world. One will go crazy after living here for too long.”

The slumbering mud figurines were Situ An’s last effects and his last revenge on the real world. The madman had decided to die with Han Hai from the very start. He probably wanted to use this to negotiate with the real higher-ups at Han Hai at the key moment, but Gao Ming killed him before he had that chance.

“Those mud figurines are probably why those people are so desperate to save Situ An.” Gao Ming had the protection of the God of Flesh and Blood, so normal ghosts didn’t dare to come close to him.

“Not necessarily. There might be people from the shadow world at the headquarters.” Xuan Wen was more familiar with the dark sides of humanity than Gao Ming was. The irony was she was right most of the time.

There were many strange and scary existences inside Li San Hospital. However, Gao Ming didn’t have time to explore further. With the aid of the God of Flesh and Blood, they came to the first floor underground.

Seeing the locked door at the end of the corridor and the talismans pasted on the door, Gao Ming had the God of Flesh and Blood try to turn it into flesh. To Gao Ming's surprise, even the God of Flesh and Blood couldn’t open the door easily. In the end, God had to work together with the red raincoat to break the door down.

Gao Ming rushed down the stairs beyond the door. The chilly air condensed into liquid as they dripped from the ceiling. After a few steps, Gao Ming looked between the bannisters.

Strange buildings were scattered underground. Many shadows Gao Ming had not encountered before wandered among the hospital rooms. There appeared to be another hospital underneath Li San Hospital.

Images flashed in his mind. Gao Ming felt like he had been there a long time ago.

Gao Ming took out Mr. Question’s map and barged into the morgue. The place was extremely quiet as if it were a monster that fed on sound.

Gao Ming walked past the empty beds and noticed a wet trail on the ground.

“Before I came here, I met a horror game player called Yang Yu. He and his family used to live underneath the hospital. His mother was the manager of the morgue.” Xuan Wen thought for a while and took out a note with a bloody handprint. “I promised to lead him back to the hospital. He owes me. I hope his family will recognise that.”
