Horror Game Designer

The blood rained on the human head. The ghost tattoo on the security member was torn apart. Gong Xi swallowed the female ghost with the blade into his stomach. The walls and floor turned into flesh. After Gong Xi combined with the haunted house of Situ An’s kid, the place he stayed would turn into mutated flesh after he was there for a prolonged period of time.

“Have you seen a beautiful woman at the hospital? She looks… like this.” Gao Ming took out a black-and-white wedding picture. It was very scary. Gao Ming held the picture between his fingers. Gong Xi held up the security member’s head.

“She… She has been taken away by my team leader. She was sent into the tattoo ghost’s home and pulverised into meat paste. She was turned into tattoo paint and would be inked on our bodies.” The security member grinned as he said that.

“Are you trying to get me to be angry and track down your team leader?” Gao Ming put the picture away. His fingers held the man’s almost-shattered head. Gong Xi tightened his grip, and the sound of bone crunching came. The security member’s head fell beside the head of the horror game player. The four eyes met, and their gazes were filled with fear.

“The chance of Xuan Wen being caught is high. Since you knew Situ An’s last effects are here, the people from the investigation centre would know about that as well. They will not give up on this opportunity. They’ll do everything to seal up the hospital.” Xia Yang needled while Gao Ming’s emotions were unstable. “Zhang Ding is organising the shadow world, and he has to guard that door. How can you face the entirety of the centre on your own? Let me help you. It’s not that I want to come out, but you need me.”

The sound of fighting attracted the attention of the other security members. The others who stayed to guard the first floor walked out of the wards. Each of them had bloody arms. Their exposed skin showcased different kinds of ghost tattoos.

“I finally understand why the centre’s uniform is pure black in colour.”

“Why?” The man closest to Gao Ming looked at his vibrating blood band and asked nonchalantly.

“That way, blood won’t be obvious on it.” Just at that moment, Gong Xi closed his hands. The walls that had been turned into flesh closed in from both sides. Simultaneously, gunshots echoed everywhere. Holes appeared on the flesh walls, and the scent of meat floated out. If Gong Xi hadn’t reacted quickly, Gao Ming would have been riddled with holes already.

“That’s a quick reaction.” Two members hidden in the dark aimed their guns at Gao Ming. The shells dropped to the ground. They were sticky with black liquid and carved with strange patterns. Instead of bullet shells, they looked more like dried children's fingers.

“Be on alert! The picture comparison is complete. He is Qian Junran from Class 13!”

The sharp blades eased into the flesh walls. Each security member had different assigned blades. Different ghostly shadows gripped the blades with them.

“Move!” The sound of a knife grinding against the floor entered everyone’s ears. The security members moved aside to reveal a giant man bound in black cloth. He dragged a giant blade with a ghost face with both of his hands. His blood dripped into the knife. A horrible cry echoed out of the blade. The man dragged the blade as he raced down the corridor!

When he got close to the flesh wall, he spun around. The giant blade shone like a crescent moon as it sliced through the flesh. The blood with the fragrance of meat splattered all over him.

Gao Ming seemed to stand at the end of the corridor. He didn’t run away. He looked at the team of security members calmly. There were many of them there in the first-floor lobby. They had gone through hell-like training in the taboo game at Xin Lu. They had special ghost tattoos and had access to the power of one or more types of ghosts. This singular unit could easily handle a Level 3 Anomaly. They worked closely together and had no weaknesses.

“Give up now. Don’t struggle. You are powerless before the investigation centre.” The man with the ghost face blade stood in the middle of the corridor. He seemed to have the power to slice through the dark.

Gao Ming scanned all the security members and asked lightly, “Where is your team leader? Have you run into a horror game player who is exceptionally beautiful?”

“The leader has gone to the back building. I don’t know the rest.” The man raised the giant blade. He appeared to be in the mood to chat with Gao Ming.

“Back building?”

“Yes. As for the others, we’ve killed all of them. Doctors and patients; ghosts and humans; males and females… As long as they’ve been inside the anomalies, we will eliminate all of them.” The man’s words seemed to be a signal. Once he finished talking, the gunshots started again. The bullets designed by the researchers pierced through the dark and hit Gao Ming in his heart and other body parts!

There was the sound of an explosion. The blood turned the night red.

The large man was there to distract the enemy. The other members moved in the dark to find the opportunity to strike. They had done this multiple times and killed many humans and ghosts with this method.

Gao Ming leaned against the wall, and blood leaked out of his wounds. The large man smiled. He was about to use his blood band when he noticed something was wrong. The blood that flowed out of Gao Ming’s wounds was too bright. It was more like paint.

“Be careful!”

The man shouted in warning.

Gao Ming, who should have already died, moved his fingers. His body trembled weakly. Suddenly, the voice of another man came out of Gao Ming’s lips. “Impressive. You discovered my secret earlier than I expected you to.”

The broken arm removed the mask. Xia Yang’s face appeared on Gao Ming’s body. He dropped the mask.

The mask that could see through the truth disintegrated into bloodred powder. The security members then realised Gao Ming was not leaning against the wall, but he was painted onto the wall. The painting was so realistic.

“The ghost is hiding inside the painting?!” The large man put away his smile. His team moved forward together. The man inside the painting didn’t move. He laughed openly.

“To be honest, I should thank you for giving me the chance to regain freedom.” Xia Yang narrowed his eyes as he studied the security members. “As a thank you, let me paint some new ghost tattoos on you. I will peel off your skin and figure out a way to brand the Red Spectre on them.”
