Fingerprints, palm prints… Everything related to fate was changed slightly in Gao Ming. The appearance of the new torture device signified the God of Flesh and Blood’s new departure from fate. As the one chosen by the God of Flesh and Blood, Gao Ming was affected too. If the chains were for binding, the new device was for attack. After Gao Ming and the God of Flesh and Blood absorbed all the patients, their power increased.

“What is this? In the files given to me by Lu Zang about the God of Flesh and Blood, there is no mention of any scythe.” Situ An tried to hide the shock in his eyes. The new torture device that came out of the forge was not only related to the things thrown into the forge but also to Gao Ming’s life as well. Everything inside the torture room was related to Gao Ming because they were parts of Gao Ming.

The fiery pain came from both arms. The chains bound together with the blood vessels. Gao Ming and the God of Flesh and Blood’s fates started to intertwine. Fate controlled everything. As Lu Zang said, if this reality was a nightmare, then fate created this dream. Normal people were insignificant before fate. Only a small number of people had the right to attract fate’s gaze and become its puppet.

In such a world, Gao Ming and the God of Flesh and Blood forged a device to execute fate. Their madness stunned Red Raincoat and Situ An.

The most desperate ghost and the craziest man were both affected. This was something Gao Ming did not expect.

His heart rate slowly returned to normal. Gao Ming stretched. His blood radiated an indescribable fragrance. Once one smelled it, one would be captivated by it. “A part of my body appears to have united with the God of Flesh and Blood…”

In the past, God only stayed in Gao Ming’s torture room. Gao Ming had the God of Flesh and Blood’s Heart of Flesh and Heart of God. Now, Gao Ming’s body was slowly combining with the God of Flesh and Blood. He was like a living divine figurine.

“I’ve become more and more estranged from the definition of a human, but this doesn’t feel bad.”

His five senses sharpened. Even from a distance, Gao Ming could hear the silent footsteps from the corridor. Gao Ming lifted his head and looked at the exit. A mechanical arm that gave off a horrible stench grabbed the door. The bright light shone into the room.

“Found you.” A robotic voice came from underneath the humanmade skin. A security member in an old uniform had his eyes locked on Gao Ming. The dark pupils reflected Gao Ming. The man opened his lips to expose the mechanical parts inside his maw and the pieces of meat that stuck to his sharp teeth.

The security members filtered into the room and blocked the exit.

The black boots stepped on the red blood. The knife cut through the ripple. Several seconds later, a figure appeared at the door. Every inch of his skin was branded with ghost tattoos.

“It was you who killed the trio from Team Seven.” The man stood in the middle of all the members. His eyes stared at Gao Ming. The fingers around his neck bloomed like petals. The hidden ghost's eyes slowly opened.

Surrounded by so many people, Gao Ming narrowed his eyes. He leaned back on the table to change into a more comfortable pose. “I’ve killed many security members from the investigation centre. You are different from them. Why?”

“After I cut off your limbs and turn you into a human stick, I’ll slowly answer you.” K knew that someone had been killed through his blood band. They had survived so many practices in the taboo game, but some of them had already been killed when they started their first mission in Han Hai.

“Listen to yourself. Do you sound like you’re from the side of justice? You are representing the investigation centre.” Gao Ming’s lips curved. He silently compared everyone to the death portraits. Ever since he left Han De Private School, he hadn’t fully used his power before. He had no idea how strong he was and whether he could fit the ‘antagonist’ of the investigation centre.

“What a waste of time.” K glanced at the first man who entered the room. The man got the message and charged at Gao Ming with bare firsts. The sound of gears turning came from the man’s body. When the man was within five metres of Gao Ming, he suddenly sped up to far beyond the human body limit. Before his shadow dissipated, the man already appeared before Gao Ming. He raised his arms and swung his fists at Gao Ming’s head!

Gao Ming moved to the side. The table behind Gao Ming was smashed. Wood chips flew everywhere. The man’s fist moved towards Gao Ming’s face again.

The chains appeared on Gao Ming’s arms. He took a few steps back until his back was to the wall. The red chains bound the man’s fists and tore through his uniform. Through the tears, Gao Ming noticed that the man’s body was 70 percent mechanical.

“A few years ago, I was tormented in a devil’s pit until only my heart was left alive. It was my team leader who saved me. The despair made me resistant to most curses, pain and mental attacks. When a human faces ghosts and monsters, the first thing he needs to do is to overcome his fear. I fear nothing in this world!”

The man had no living human weaknesses. His body and mind were impossibly strong. Strange characters flew through his heart. Those should be some kind of special ghost tattoo.

“Is it possible that it was the investigation centre and your team leader who designed and threw you into the devil’s pit?” Gao Ming’s voice entered the man’s ears. His heart started to pace differently. The God of Flesh and Blood’s power went beyond mere physical prowess. The heart wrapped inside the cold machine halted for a second. The tube inserted into the heart trembled slightly. The man’s chest groaned.

“I can hear the voice inside your heart. It is inviting me to feast.”

Gao Ming swung his left arm. Tainted chains flew out from behind him. They swallowed the man like a wave.

“Save him!” K shouted, but he was already too late. Gao Ming’s hand landed on the man’s chest. The small chains crawled into his body through his mouth and nose.

“You don’t need to live in pain anymore.”

The fragrance of meat spread. Gao Ming closed his fist. Fresh blood oozed out between his fingers. The man looked at his chest in disbelief.

The heart that was protected by titanium was exposed. It was bound by endless chains. He couldn’t control his body.

“You underestimate me.” The man growled like crazy. Even if he died, he wanted to deliver one last hit!

The machines chugged along. The ghost tattoos crawled along the chains. Before the man could do anything, his heart wilted like a dead flower.

Blood flowed. When the chains returned to Gao Ming, there was an extra chain.
